98 Mute – Young Americans

Çarşamba, 31 Aralık 2008

There’s something wrong and it’s our government.
Is this the way that it has always been.
We’re being led by used car lot salesman.
But what to do..
The time has come to fight my friends.
Don’t patronize me as if my brain is shallow.
Put a price on my head I’ll put a tag on your toe.
A scandal in the white house please say it ain’t so.
You cannot lie to me because the American dream isn’t as it seems.
I read the news another scandal, a lie.
I hear your speech I watch the bullshit fly.
When passed the day that mortality died but what to do.
The time has come to fight my friends.
The rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer the writing’s on the wall.
All the president’s men sit like fattened cats smoking cigars inside the white house walls.
A transient makes his bed from cardboard boxes.
His hotel the steps of capital hill. So what’s the price of happiness for you my friend, a hundred grand or a five dollar bill?
There’s something wrong and it’s our government.
Is this the way that it has always been?
Can’t sit and watch as our country descends.
But what to do..
The time has come to fight my friends ’cause we are young Americans

98 Mute – You Can’t Lose

Çarşamba, 31 Aralık 2008

There’s so many corridors for you to explore
Just when you think you’ve seen it all you find something more
Always one more aisle to pursue in this department store
Just be sure you don’t forget to purchase what you came for

Take a look around do you like what you see
A vast ocean of opportunity
You can always make a change if your view does not suit you
So many splendid paths from which to choose
You can’t lose

Stumbling through the world one day I met a man of depth
He was kind and spoke wisely this is what he said
For what it’s worth life’s worth the wait
Try to sample life from many plates
Paint your life use palates with many paints
And in gold you’ll be worth your wait

Lose sight of yourself for a while
And act foolishly just like a child
Make sure you live your life out of style
Break free from the rank and file

An endless storybook always another page
And each chapter can end the way you choose
You’ve been cast the leading role and your whole life’s a stage
Experience is the one thing you can’t lose
You can’t lose

If you never try you’ve already died
So you better try
I’m telling you no matter what you do
You can’t lose

98 Mute – Wrong

Çarşamba, 31 Aralık 2008

So you say you hate that band ’cause they sold out.
And you sold back all your records is that what it’s all about.
Now listen up you fuckin’ punk the songs are still the same.
‘Cause others learn to like them doesn’t make them fuckin’ lame.
You’re wrong. You’re so wrong. You’re fuckin wrong…
Now run the fuck along.
Shame on all those bands,
yeah the ones who play for cash.
The ones that count their money as they sit back and they laugh.
Now don’t you get too angry with all those KROQ fans.
With no time they’ll bore and be searching for new bands.
You sold out.. They sold out.
We’d sell out, there’s no fuckin’ doubt.
So you got it figured out and you know it all.
Some of those bands were punk back when you were still hanging at the mall.
It’s called respect and you don’t have it and probably never will.
I know ’cause I was once like you just fighting against my will.

98 Mute – Wounds

Çarşamba, 31 Aralık 2008

Paranoid am I an android A checker in a game of chess
Out of place I’m from outer space better than being a pawn I guess
I am deep in thought but not having any deep thought I am frayed
Always beg to differ but never make a difference it’s not ok

Why does this feel so empty
Why do I feel so numb
Why do the days all seem to come undone
Unsung

Gladly I sit with Boo radley even he speaks in tongues to me
The cupboards bare why do I even care the entire worlds greek to me
I will play along but I’m longing to be played out I’m afraid
I am lonely even when I’m not alone in Disarray

Not asking for a handout
Not asking for rewards
I know there must be something more
Something more

Pseudo Panacea this wound won’t heal
A faux antiserum this wound will never heal
Anti Antiseptic this cut wont fucking heal
I have a hole in my soul a hole that needs filled

98 Mute – Watch Over Me

Çarşamba, 31 Aralık 2008

I dedicate my life as I dedicate this song
So your loving memory will never be gone
Your message and your song will continue on
The positive that you created shall never be undone
You taught me everything I know and everything I do
Taught me how to live my life and to always be true
True to your friends and your family
True to your heart be who you want to be
You’ll forever be my mentor forever be my friend
’cause brotherhood’s the rule which can not bend
You’ll be truly missed as you were truly loved
I hope you’re watching me from up above
We will live our lives in your memory
We will try to be the best that we can be in your memory
Your short time on earth was very well spent Some people they live 80 years and never make a dent
But you changed the world with the words that you would write
And taught us all to always fight the good fight
And I know you’re watching over me from above In the center of my heart is where you will forever be
From the center of my heart is where you’ll never leave
There’s no way your memory will ever fade away
Because of all the happiness and the goodness that you gave
In my heart is where you’ll always be you’ll always be with me
Nobody can take away the memories we’ll always have the memories
I remember you always looking out for me
Putting me on your shoulders so I could see
Being the best brother you knew how to be
I can still feel you looking over me
And it makes me smile to know you’re still watching over me.

98 Mute – They say

Çarşamba, 31 Aralık 2008

They say the future’s looking bright
I guess i just can’t see it
Everything’s gonna be alright
I just can’t believe it
They say the beat continues on
I guess i just can’t hear it
It’s been this way far too long
I try to grin and bear it

Hold your head up high
Stand your ground
You think you’ve won the prize
Take a look around

They say it’s in God’s hands
I guess i just don’t trus him
Part of some master plan
I don’t understand it
They say that heaven awaits
I guess i’m just impatient
How will i get through the gates
I guess i’ll have to pray

Is there anyone listening
Won’t somebody save us
Is there anyone out there
Someone we can trust
Don’t walk away
Stay here with us
We’re so afrad
Don’t know who we can trust
Hold your head up high
Staand your ground
Take a look around, open your eyes

98 Mute – Them

Çarşamba, 31 Aralık 2008

Walking down the streets, Idiots are all I fucking see.
Morons right in front of me.
I’ve got a group of them to my right.
And it’s just the start of my night.
Sitting on the corner of Manhattan Beach Blvd.
And Ocean.
See some sluts out for fun.
Showing off their silicone tits.
Pounds of makeup hide their zits.
I can’t believe what my eyes see.
Bars packed with U.S.C. fraternities.
Plastic people with their plastic money.
MTV fed mentalities.
I thank god I’m not like them.
Pennyloafers on their feet.
Collared shirts with rolled up sleeves.
Tight blue jeans you wouldn’t believe.
I’ve got a dozen chumps to my right.
And it’s beginning to ruin my night.
The to my left a bunch of chicks who think they’re hot shit.
So I slap them with my goddamn dick.
People acting so sophisticated.
By twenty-one they’re all outdated.
I don’t ever want to be like them.
I won’t ever fuckin’ be like them.
I have fun laughing at them.
I think god I’m not of one of them.
Now I’m all surrounded.
All these idiots suffocating me.
So now it’s time for me to leave.
But as I leave this fucked up scene I thank god that I’m me.

98 Mute – Survive

Çarşamba, 31 Aralık 2008

I’m gonna put it to you like this
I don’t want this to come to fists
But the bottom line is that you’ve reached the top of my shit list
Two trains on the same track and you can bet you and I we are going to bang heads
Friendship unraveling like yarn through we share a common thread
I know your not blind so why cant you see
The curtain that has been drawn between you and me
A friendship that has eroded with time like a mountain into the sea

You wanted to make your dreams a reality
But your reality is now a dream
Are you the person that you really want to be
Or a fraction of the friend who once knew me

Done more harm than you could ever afford
Open your heart and you’re sure to find more
In life than you can find at a local liquor store
Your personality has been seduced
By chemicals you over abuse
You’re in a tailspin and there is nothing you can do
Your shenanigans used to amuse me
But ive grown tired of your tomfoolery
This running joke is way past its prime and way past decency

A vodka tonic a day will keep the memory away
Yore not conscious when you are awake
Drink and drive don’t care who dies
Motherfucker you’ve been risking lives
You could be the one who won’t Survive

98 Mute – Small Minds

Çarşamba, 31 Aralık 2008

Our last laugh
Your short fuse
Your better days ahead are behind you
Behind you

Narrow eyes
You can’t lose
The fight of your life is in front of you
In front of you

Sometimes some things aren’t exactly
what they seem
Some things sometimes have very
different meanings

Ask yourself if you’ll survive
Will you breakdown or will you shine

98 Mute – Slow Motion Riot

Çarşamba, 31 Aralık 2008

What have we here storm before calm.
Strung out on fear so pass me the napalm
Break Bread with me before it is stolen
Sleep with one eye open silence is golden
Life a magazine Death a Reality
Drug dealer heroes thug celebrities
Rush hour gridlock may seem drastic
An open road compared to drug traffic

Starving to death on a Quaalude diet
Living in a Slow Motion Riot
Concisness it has been gagged and bound
Better make your last confession
The worlds doing its best impression
Of a ship with nowhere to go but down

Skyscraper fantasies Ghetto realities
Dreams watered down like softcore pornography
Watch your step gang related death
Funeral day wonder whos next
Crime is the standard built up Immunity
Only care if it’s our community
Smokescreen safety can’t trust the Government
In this world hell seems heaven sent

Were in a Slow Motion Riot

Life a Fantasy Death Reality
Life a Quarantine Death a courtesy
Life a Brevity Death Finality
Life a foul disease Death a Remedy
