Kept
Kept me sane
Kept me unaware
Kept me locked up
Kept me quiet
Kept me well fed
Gave me a place to live
Now I owe and I owe
Always kept dependent
Kept - Always to be
Kept - Don’t want to be
Kept - Don’t need to be
Kept
Kept me as a child
As a mental cripple
Not able to hold on
Always left behind
Kept me on target
Gave me a place to go
Now I owe and I owe
Always kept dependent

Relativity
00:55
|
|||
|
Of good and bad
Happy and sad
Words thrown to the crowd
Who think therefore they are
But I’ll stand on a pulpit
With a Relative concept
And the power of these words
Are shown to mean nothing
Based on subjective measures
Not objective concepts
Knowledge is so Limited
Experience so unfathomable
Belief in a system
A system of beliefs
Your views just a reflection
Of what you need to see
What is sacred
and what is profane (and on)
The relative "truth',
above and beyond belief
See the Buddah
Kill the Buddah
It's not the teacher,
But what is taught
Behind the words,
aware of meaning
Lies the leading concept of relativity
Belief in a system
A system of beliefs
Your views just a reflection
Of what you need to see

Belief in a System
A system of beliefs
Embrace an order
In its entirety
Recite the words,
Obey the edicts
Believe Believe

Rib of Adam
02:03
|
|||
|
Creating, fostering –
a second sex behind
The expected, demure capactiy
Lesser she, a depreciated
role, a lesser being
Lesser she - Reinforced
Belittled by history
(if mentioned)
Besmirched,
attacked on the streets
Precious little creatures
to have and protect
Kept in their place
below and dependent
Denied, regulated in
conversation
Barely allowed to vote
When feminism
becomes a dirty word
Accepted as long as they
produce the ego child
This ‘Rib of Adam”...
is she merely a
Rib of Adam?
This concept of women,
as those created of man
Only worth 1/4,
or so I’ve been told

Yes, We Have No...
00:22
|
|||
|
Yes, I wish we had no bananas
We have nothing here to celebrate
True positivist modernization
Displacing those not “apt” for civilization
Is there any question as to the origin of the regional instability?
Is there a reason to be surprised at the recurring wars and revolutions?
No needed base built
The statue falters

Savage – Your days are numbered
We come with eradication
We enjoy elimination
We steal what cannot be owned
Forgive us…We know what we do
Natural selection - Efficiency
We survive at your expense
Manifest destiny
An imperative imperial
Choosing “Progress” over “Barbarism”
An ending, a beginning
Your death satisfies our ego collective
Savage
Your days are numbered
So far removed from the earth
Merely behind one plate of glass
With new assumptions,
realities, truths
A home left can never be returned to
There is no life
There is no body, no flesh
There is no blood, no vision
And there is no man
There is no heart
There is no muscle, no skin
There is no tie, no feeling
And there is no man

Oso

Vanishing majesty - were but I to groom your fur
Mi Oso, hermoso
Am I just a selfish fool?
Please stick to your wild, your ways
Won't let myself corrupt your ways
Just another human...
Pollution is my essence.

Decline and Fall
00:57
|

|
Same mistakes, it seems
You're a slave to power once again
And you’re knocked down
Those taxed
Are withholding irate anger
Similar scenes occur
It continues all over
Please remember this
Corrupt and succinctly aware
Of the declining tiers
This is not
a hypothetical situation
This is today
Decline and Fall
Bogged down in bureaucratic red tape
Inherent deprivation
Exploited by foreign powers
Your organization
This catalyst to all
And due - due to methodology falls
Please remember this
Not easy to rise above and beyond
Correcting the altered state
This is not a hypothetical situation
This is today.

Fear of a Gay Planet
01:55
|
|||

I got a letter from the government,
But they don't understand
That as a gay man I can never be a veteran
Drafted to a war like shackled into slaverv
Where walking with a gun is bravery
Fighting against men more likely than not
So the general can show them what he’s got
Prejudice prohibits me from being trained at will
Into believing that to be a man I must kill
Dominant societies, violent cultures
Doing nothing but making food for the vultures
Medals for manly death but not manly love
Supported by the hypocrite from above
In my dreams I see a day
That’s coming near
Where will not be afraid to be an out queer
And to stand up, without pretext and say:
"What the fuck's wrong with loving my own sex?”
But of course this is radical preaching
When schools practice double-standard teaching
Straddling the yolk of perpetuated dishonesty
This society
Commits a robbery
This faggot yells “Bias”
And that’s criminal
The power that you think you have is reprehensible
Call me a fool
But I am an idealist
I see A Day to Fight For & I’ll fight this war
The power struggle is brought home
It takes away a peace that was never known
It’s a battle for the value of the individual
Of who’s in government
and who makes the rules
You say you don't understand, but who asked you?
Blind hatred condemns lambasting fool
Your fears are right on schedule
You're just afraid, ‘fraid, ‘fraid
‘Friad ‘fraid
And your fears are right on schedule
Afraid of a gay planet

Incredible discography. The paper bag 7" on Gravity was a game changer for modern hardcore punk. The lyrics to "Blind" opened my eyes and I never looked back.
