System of a down - Patterns (Storaged Melodies)

Life is a story, go ahead and find your sight.
Life is your glory, go ahead and live the night.

But to live means to be here, in the present, now.
Do try to bow for the gift of your day,
then you see to the morning sun, son.

Pretending that we live, doesn't make us alive.
Life is a story, go ahead and find your sight.

But to live means to be here, in the present, now,
Do you try to bow for the gift of your day,
Then you cede to the morning sun, son.

(sun) Pretending that we see doesn't give us the sight.
(sun) Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive.

What is it that makes us lose sight, true sight, of what is real and essential?
I'll take organized patterns of chaos over the chaotic organizations of man, any day!

Pretending that we see doesn't give us the sight.
Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive.

Pretending that we see doesn't give us the sight.
(The patterns in the carpet do add up though, you don't have to count.)
Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive.
(The patterns in the carpet do add up though, you don't have to count.)

System of a down - Stealing Society (Hypnotize)

Yeah, alright! Yeah, alright!

Two skies watching it all, fading
Two skies living it all, fading
Two skies watching it all, fading
Two skies fading, one's abating

Two suns living it all, dying
Two suns fighting, one's abiding

Two suns, watching them both fighting
Two suns, seeing them both dying
Two suns, watching them both fighting
Two suns fighting, one's abiding

Two skies, seeing them both dying
Two skies fading, one's abating

waaaAAA-AAAAH!

Crack pipes, needles, PCP and fast cars
Kind of mix really well in a dead movie star
When I feel like talking, I never be wrong
If I feel like walking, you best come along

I close my windows, crank the heat up a high
Till my palms are wet and my tongue is dry
I'm looking for a mother that'll get me high,
just a stupid motherfucker, if I die, I die

I'm a midnight fistfight
Looking for a mother that'll get me high,
just a stupid motherfucker, if I die, I die

I'm a midnight fistfight
Looking for a mother that'll get me high,
just a stupid motherfucker, if I die, I die. Alright!

(I'm) looking for a mother that'll get me high, (Two suns fighting)
just a stupid motherfucker, if I die, I die. Alright! (One's abiding)

Looking for a mother that'll get me high, (Two skies fading)
just a stupid motherfucker, if I die, I die. (One's abating)
Cause I'm looking for a mother that'll get me high, (Two suns fighting)
just a stupid motherfucker, if I die, I die. Ya-ea (One's abiding)
I'm looking for a mother that'll get me high, (two skies, two suns)
just a stupid motherfucker, if I die, I die. Alright! (Watching them all go!)

Yeah, alright! Yeah, alright!

Rage Against The Machine - Settle for nothing (Writing on the wall)

Read my writing on the wall:

No-one's here to catch me
when I fall
Death is on my side
Suicide!

No-one's here to catch me
when I fall
Caught between my culture
and the system
Genocide!

No-one's here to catch me
when I fall
If ignorance is bliss,
then knock the smile off my face
Yeah!

Rage Against The Machine - Settle for nothing

A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on

A world of violent rage, but it's one that I can recognize
Having never seen the color of my father's eyes

Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip
I tried to grip my family, but I slipped

To escape from the pain... in an existence mundane,
I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I gotta name

Read my writing on the wall:
No-one's there to catch me
when I fall
Death is on my side
Suicide!

A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on

A world of violent rage, but it's one that I can recognize
Having never seen the color of my father's eyes

Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip
I tried to grip my family, but I slipped

To escape from the pain... in an existence mundane,
I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I gotta name

Read my writing on the wall:
No-one's here to catch me
when I fall
Caught between my culture
and the system
Genocide!

Read my writing on the wall:
No-one's here to catch me
when I fall
If ignorance is bliss,
then knock the smile off my face
Yeah!

If we don't take action now, we settle for nothing later
We'll settle for nothing now and we'll settle for nothing later

If we don't take action now, we settle for nothing later
We'll settle for nothing now and we'll settle for nothing later

If we don't take action now, we settle for nothing later
We'll settle for nothing now and we'll settle for nothing later

If we don't take action now, we settle for nothing later
We'll settle for nothing now and we'll settle for nothing later

VNV Nation - In defiance

I think back upon the person I knew you to be
Righting the wrongs in the name of all you believed
The one who brought the fight, who never said die
Never letting fate decide

Be all you hope for, you were the best you could be
All that in tribute, all that you had achieved
No time for words from those with nothing to say
Never letting fate decide

Until the end and back again, defiant to the last man
’Til there's nothing left to fight against, no surrender
Unto the corners of the Earth, defiant to the last breath
Until there's none left standing, no surrender

Conjured the ground upon which you've only stood
Buried the conflicts that had preyed on your mind
Found strengths in actions that only courage achieves
Never letting fate decide

Until the end and back again, defiant to the last man
’Til there's nothing left to fight against, no surrender
Unto the corners of the Earth, defiant to the last breath
Until there's none left standing, no surrender

Until the end and back again, defiant to the last man
’Til there's nothing left to fight against, no surrender
Unto the corners of the Earth, defiant to the last breath
Until there's none left standing, no surrender

No surrender, no surrender

Funeral for a friend - Into oblivion

The days I've felt alone
and the sea, it brings me back again,
so that, I can see my wife
and I can see my child.

Home, I'm home; it never changes
Same old faces, same old places

I stand into oblivion and found my home
I stand into oblivion,
into oblivion

Find in me the home,
that you have never known
Find in us the faith,
the faith to bring you home

I stand into oblivion and found my home
I stand into oblivion and found my home
I stand into oblivion and found my own way back to there,
back to there

Home. Now that I'm coming home,
will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much time has passed

Home. Now that I'm coming home,
will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much time has passed

Home. Now that I'm coming home,
will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much life has passed

I stand into oblivion and found my home
I stand into oblivion and found my home
I stand into oblivion and found my home
I stand into oblivion and found my own way back to there

Hilltop Hoods - Fifty in five

Terror cleared the skyline and anger clouded judgement.
So, they spent a thousand nightimes in the desert
fighting something that they couldn't find,
that made it something that they couldn't find.
Left us all lamenting all the wrongs that they couldn't right.

This is for the second time, we've been here before.
From Vietnam to Saddam, we always needing a war.
Neo-Conservative rose up like Viet-cong,
their fingers on the trigger; we wont be here for long.

They killed MLK and then named a day after him.
They killed JFK and named an airport after him.
Some guy shot a monster called Reagan,
so he could bone a girl named Jodie Foster.
If only he'd known: they tested nukes in the atmosphere, the sea and the dirt
and they tested all these missiles just to see if they'd work.

Now France got em, Russia got em, India and Pakistan,
Korea want 'em, States want 'em pointed at the Taliban.
Iran and Afghanistan: sands of the Arab lands
Orders from portable commands and armoured caravans.

Internet, 3G cellular phones, serial killers build mini cells in their homes.
And we had Manson, Bundy, Gacy, Son of Sam,
Macarena, Superman, chicken dance, running man

Generation X and generation Y
and the generation next, will degenerate and die.
Cause we got holes in the ozone, that we put there ourselves.
Now the poles are a no-go, earth's cooking itself

And we cant look at ourselves,
so we got saline, botox, eighteen: fake tits; ninteen: detox
Don't stop! Get it! Get it! Can't afford it? Get it: credit!
Buy it! Spend it! Try it! Getting fat? Then you better shed it!

Ab-swing, blue blocker, Tupac or Biggy,
East coast, West coast, Fat Joe or Fifty,
Thatcher, The Shifty, Iron Lady, Tony Blair,
A princess died, some say cause she got Dodi there.

Whitlam, Keating, Hawke and a promise
of no children in poverty, wish that could have been honest.
We had Abbot and Costella, right wing overlords.
Promises and children, they threw 'em both overboard.
Overwrought refugees, thrown to a group home
or jailed, for the crime of looking for a new home.

Elvis died, Hendrix died, Lennon died
Genocide in Africa, Serbia, Cambodia.
Pesticides, bio-toxins, chemical warfare:
all's fair in love and war, more work for the pallbearer.

More terror, more unjust, search and seizures.
A tidal wave came and claimed the coast of Indonesia
Quakes in Iran, Japan and California,
Greenhouse gas turned the world into a sauna.

The trauma of mortars, martyrs, slaughters
of partners, mourners, fathers and daughters,
They chased us, caught us, numbered us to sort us,
Raped us, scorned us, to break us they bought us,

Third world kidneys for captains of industry.
Uprising in the street, corruption in the ministry.
A blowjob brought about the fall of a dynasty
and MP3s saw the fall of an industry.

Doubled population, halved accommodation
Carved up resources and we starved the poorer nations.
Beirut, Chechnya, all hell broke loose.

Berlin, ninteen eighty nine and a wall fell.
Cold war ended but that didn't stop more shells.
Waco lit up the sky, like burning oil wells.

A world laid waste with addiction.
Tell Orwell: truth's always stranger than fiction.
Big Brother's on closed circuit TV and on cable,
reality's now scripted, celebrities for sale.

Jeopary and jail, seized, deposed
Remedies and penalties for failed CEO's.
We had the Enron collapse and white-collar crime.
Investors, they were taxed a dollar for a dime.
The blue chip companies and blue-sky mines
We no longer choose sides, we choose sidelines

Rich bleeding the kind, blind leading the blind,
And history repeats, no competing with time,
Gasses eating the minds of the vets that they bring home,
The plague of Agent Orange, Gulf War Syndrome
Soldiers sent home, posttraumatic stress
Leave STDs, cause the sleeve aint sexy
AIDS shook the eighties, Grim Reaper with a bowling ball
Metallica, kill em all, let God scold em all,

The Guildford four, Chicago seven,
Mumia, Mandela, Oceans Eleven,
Half past twelve on Friday the Thirteenth,
Dawn of the dead, A nightmare on Elm street,

Weapons free environment, war zone, phone home,
Melanoma grow as we soak in the ozone
Home-grown (Hydro!), cocaine (Nitro!),
Werewolf in London (American physco!)

Cyclones, bushfires, Bush firing scuds,
Baby boomers, Woodstock: what happened to the love?
What happened to the cubs? They fed em to the wolves!
Set a trial for pedophiles, they let em in the schools
Set em on the students, turn em on the kids

And everyone responsible should burn for what they did
And if they try to deny, then an eye for an eye
The government and church, on which we try to rely,
both rob us till it hurts, chasing lie after lie,
like astronauts chasing a pie in the sky.

They landed on the moon but can't seem to return there.
Makes some question if they ever really were there.
And if they were there now and they looked back,
could we look them in the eye? Could we look back?

Cause when we look back at what we have done,
can you believe what we have become?
And as we walk into the sun,
can you believe what we have become?
As we walk into the sun.
