Stand up for yourself. You’re more than a fictional label. The culture war is a lie made up by millionaires to divide us. Alternative facts, the things that we used to call falsehoods have clouded your mind. Made you think that your own life has become a lie. You’re not alone. You’re not alone. Fight the illusion!
Chorus
There’s no such thing as conservatives
There’s no such thing as liberals.
You’re an individual or your nothing at all.
There’s no left and no right, When you fight to put food on your table. The millionaires lie. Try to divide us with red and blue labels. The rich don’t understand that even the smallest grain of sand has the power within to stand up and fight unite to destroy them all. Destroy them all. Destroy them all. We’ll destroy them.
Chorus
What the millionaires can’t understand is even the smallest grain of sand has the power within.
Unite! Destroy them all. Destroy them all. We’ll destroy them all!

There’s nothing inhuman about genocide because it’s done by human beings.
There’s nothing inhuman about chemical warfare because it’s done by human beings.
When you remove yourself from the crime at hand, that is the moment, you’ll never understand.
When you cannot admit that you could do the same.
That is the moment that things will never change.
Don’t ask why does it happen. Ask why doesn’t it happen more often. And when you see it face-to-face. You can make the world a better place.
Chorus:
Because there’s nothing inhuman
Nothing inhuman
No there’s nothing inhuman
Nothing inhuman......
(X2)
If it’s done by human beings
You’re a human being
We’re all human beings
There’s nothing inhuman about vivisection because it’s done by human beings.
Nothing inhuman about school shootings cause it’s done by human beings.
When you remove yourself from the crime at hand, that is the moment, you’ll never understand.
When you cannot admit that you could do the same.That is the moment that things will never change.
Don’t ask why does it happen. Ask why doesn’t it happen more often. And when you see it face-to-face. You can make the world a better place.
Chorus
When it is your time to look inside your mind. That it is a chapter you never can unread.
Inhuman thoughts, Inhuman dreams, Are the foundation of everything human deed.
Now there are no more monsters
No one left to blame.
Now that you know the truth, you can finally make a change.
Chorus

Americans work more and more but get paid less and less.
And every day we hear the lies from FOXNews on our TV sets.
They blame our problems on the poor, they blame illegal immigrants and while the rich distract us. Stab our country in the neck.
What’s a couple hundred in welfare to feed your kids and wife, while million dollar tax cut goes to the trust fund kids who never worked a day in their life.
Chorus
Why didn’t they tell me we have to live this way (live this way)
Why didn’t they tell me, I’d live with so much pain (everyday)
Why didn’t they tell me that things will never change.
Why didn’t they tell me that you are all poor devils just like me.
Just like me,
Just like me,
you are a poor just like me
They turned us into slaves with their credit cards in student loans and soon enough a bill collectors calling on your telephone.
Nine calls a day every day morning noon and night. We pay them interest while they sleep and they keep us in debt for the rest of our lives.
The working class must suffer while they bail out the banks. Our rights are gone, we are all just pawns, and we have only rich Republicans to thank.
Chorus:
Don’t let them tell you, you have to live this way (live this way)
Don’t let them tell you, because you can fight the pain (every day)
Don’t let them tell you that things will never change.
Because they are the enemy, and you are all poor Devils just like me

Disposable society never gave you a choice.
You found punk rock music and it gave you a voice.
You didn’t want acceptance, but you still had to fight.
How else you gonna live in a world full of blight?
Chorus:
You gotta fight, when they say you don’t matter.
Listen to your heart, it’s your first line of defense.
You got to cry, till’ the windows all shatter.
Don’t give up on yourself I will always be your friend. You gotta fight.
A high school education never gave you a chance.
You’re paying off your bills with a paycheck advance.
Because poverty and sadness is a deadly duet.
Now you’re sitting in the basement playing Russian roulette.
(Chorus)
You may never walk this off, but you got to learn to walk with it and I’ll always be your friend. (Always be your friend)
You may never live this down, but you got to learn to live with it and I’ll be there till the end. Hey Telly!!!!!!!!

You Made Me Believe
Lyrics by William Somerville. Music by Violet Ray
You know sometimes, feels like I will never win.
Hard times are the only thing I have
I tried but I couldn’t make you stay
All I needed was the love you gave
Chorus:
I want you to live inside my skin. I want you to never trust again.
I want you to feel my madness; to feel every moment of sadness.
The worst thing you ever did to me. You made me believe
You know sometimes, it feels the pain will never end
Feels like I lost my only friend
You lied when you said you’d always stay
All I needed was the love you gave
(Chorus)
Up three seconds it’s already begun
No worse greeting than the afternoon sun
Life aint cool when you’re down on your knees
I’m not sick, I just got the disease
You’re one rung off the ladder.
One step away from disaster
The last thing you’ll ever do to me
You made me believe
