Survive
Album - 1988 - Debaser id 53809

Am I dreaming, am I alive, the final war, I did survive
One of the chosen. One of the few. A world in ruins because of who
Now you look around
See the world in ruins
Those few who survive
No begin again
Leaders soon arise
Factions splitting off
Liars soon come again
Life is hell again

Radio!
An insidious form
Helping shape thoughts
Making You conform,

Programming Music
Easy Listening
Helps you to achieve
That moronic grin

Playing you
Regurgitated Pap
Selling products
That are mostly
Crap

Rarely hearing music
You wanna hear
It has an effect
Over all these years

Why don't you think for yourself???
Live in this self made hell....

Television!
The idiot tube
Helps to raise our
Children as fools

Watch the news
They only want to see
Our awareness is
Limited by network
VPs

Moronic sit-coms
One sided news
Alter your feeling
Give you conformist
Views

Why can't you get that
Garbage out of your
Head
You're better off to
Read a good book
Instead...

Why Can't You Think For Yourself?????
Live in this self made hell....

Newspapers!
What do they say??
Not much I think
When they want
School kids to pray

Getting some facts from
Some daily news
You hate the system
But adhere to its views

Blaming the dead
'Cause they can't
Complain
Shielding officials
Holding them
Above the blame

You better wake up and see
What's plain to see
Or end up a willing part of the machine.....

Why Can't You Think For Yourself?????
Live in this self made hell....

I am sick and tired of the way you've let things slide
Just because we're young doesn't mean we can't decide
If you think that we ain't got a thought inside our heads
I'm telling you right now that you better think again

Now we'll see what we can do for ourselves
It's time to show us some concern
I'm sick of your goddamned apathy
It's time to stand up and make yourself three

You have held us back and pushed us down for all our lives
When it comes to running things you've done a half-assed job
It is time that you learned it's what you do not what you say
And if you refuse to learn we're gonna make you pay

Now we'll see what we can do for ourselves
It's time to show us some concern
I'm sick of your goddamned apathy
It's time to stand up and make yourself three

Viet-Nam and Lebanon, other people's wars
I won't fight unless it's right, corporate wars no-more
I believe this country's worth my life to help defend
I won't fight to help keep Dow Jones out of the red

I am sick and tired of the way you've let things slide
Just because we're young doesn't mean we can't decide
If you think that we ain't got a thought inside our heads
I'm telling you right now that you better think again

Now we'll see what we can do for ourselves
It's time to show us some concern
I'm sick of your goddamned apathy
It's time to stand up and make yourself three
