I suppose this is more a song for the people:


"Rise Up Lyrics"

Cut my skin up
'Cause you know that I bleed
Take what you want
Till you’re done with me
I won’t go that easily
I won’t go without a fight

Rise up
Take my life back
Rise up
'Cause I know where I wanna be
I’m done being victimized
Sick of being paralyzed
Rise up
Cut away the past
Take my life back
Rise up

Bloodless, no mess
Did you get what you need?
Try to wipe me out
Like a disease
I won’t go that quietly
I won’t go without a fight

Rise up
Take my life back
Rise up
'Cause I know where I wanna be
I’m done being victimized
Sick of being paralyzed
Rise up
Cut away the past
Take my life back

Take it back!
Take it back!

Rise up, take my life back
Rise up 'cause I know where I wanna be

Down comes the demon
Here on my neck
Face in the ashes
Kneeling in the pit

Rise up
Rise up
Take my life back
I’m done being victimized
Sick of being paralyzed
Rise up
Cut away the past
Take my life back
Rise up

"A new life begins
Destroy Everything
Obliterate what makes us weak
Destroy Everything
Decimate what threatens me

Cleanse this world with flame
End this, cleanse this
Rebuild and start again
Obliterate what makes us weak

End this and embrace the destruction
End this to embrace new life
NEW LIFE

Even an empty threat deserves a response you won't soon forget
I must destroy everything that tries to infect
Even an empty threat deserves a response you won't soon forget
I must destroy everything that tries to infect
Destroy Everything
Obliterate what makes us weak
Destroy Everything
Decimate what threatens me

Cleanse this world with flame
End this, cleanse this
Rebuild and start again
Obliterate what makes us weak

End this and embrace the destruction
End this to embrace new life
NEW LIFE
Even an empty threat deserves a response you won't soon forget
I must destroy everything that tries to infect
Even an empty threat deserves a response you won't soon forget
I must destroy everything that tries to infect

A new life begins

Destroy Everything
Obliterate what makes us weak
Destroy Everything
Decimate what threatens me
Destroy Everything
So a new life can begin"

'Run Like hell', Joey Kneiser

Welcome to the Grand illusion
Come on in and see what's happening
Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding
Wishing secretly you were a star.

But don't be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they're just someone else's fantasy
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...

So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because your neighbors got it made
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...

America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motor car
Someday soon we'll stop to ponder what on Earth's this spell we're under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are

Iced Earth - Democide

This blasphemy, why can't you see?
Their crimes are crystal clear
Deception reigns, you live in chains
You can no longer feel
In your eyes there is no life
Only flesh and blood
Fluoride heads, the walking dead, no fight to stay alive

[Pre-chorus:]
Our minds are numb, our body's overcome
They beat us down, bread and circus
This is our destiny, spawned from their master's creed
A vicious plot to cull the masses

They set the trap, you took the bait
Diseased, they vaccinate
Create the fear, create the pain
In chaos they will reign
Spewing lies, a thin disguise
To mask their true intent
Depopulate, with quiet rage
Patience will feed revenge

[Pre-chorus]
Our minds are numb, our body's overcome
They beat us down, bread and circus
This is our destiny, spawned from their master's creed
A vicious plot to cull the masses

[Chorus]
We reign within the shadows
Fomenting their treason
Soulless corrupted vessels
Don't question our motives

It's clear to see, in history
The harvester of death
The trusting herd will never learn
They just repeat the test
In your eyes there is no life
An empty shell inside
Fluoride heads, the living dead, victims of democide

[Pre-chorus]
Our minds are numb, our body's overcome
They beat us down, bread and circus
This is our destiny, spawned from their master's creed
A vicious plot to cull the masses

[Chorus]
We reign within the shadows
Fomenting their treason
Soulless corrupted vessels
Don't question our motives

We reign within the shadows
Fomenting their treason
Soulless corrupted vessels
Don't question our motives

Not only is this one of my favorite songs, but I think it fits this election perfectly.

There is a man with no face
And a name I don't remember
Who lives in a house in the middle of the woods
And he said once "Son, don't you ever laugh out loud for they are listening,
Yes they are listening
Oh you've got to be strong
Oh, you've got to keep holding on
It's now just a matter of time"
(Head for the hills, go!)

They provide the paint for the picture perfect masterpiece
that you will paint on the insides of your eyelids;
Can you possibly see anything you want to see?
No (Hell No!)
"There's nothing wrong with the way I see"
and he wanted to be a soldier in the next great war
he wanted to kill and fight and maim but not be told what he was fighting for
And that's the way it's going to have to be my friend,
And that's the way it's going to have to be my friend

I passed a man on the corner in the city yesterday singing
"Yada yada yada and tomorrow it'll never end"
and I never thought I'd never live to see another sunny day
but I'm here and I fear I'll be here till the end
So watch your mouth
Or you're going to make a grave mistake
Hold your tongue
Or you're going to catch a bullet in the head
So watch your mouth
Or you're going to make a grave mistake
Don't die for anything less than the best of life

The things you said went to your head
But you never tried to understand:
What they'll take you will never take back what they take when take what they can
because they can from you
You follow me and you follow me but you never ask why
And I wonder what you're under could this be another piece of the
"I don't know I just do what they say because they say what to do in a matter of fact way"
But don't stop because you might get burned
And you might just learn to stand on your own two feet
And I think that it's neat how you learn to repeat everything
that you hear in the street so well
You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well
You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well

And everyone was resting because they thought it was the end
And even if it wasn't they decide they'd pretend
And somewhere in the distance I could hear him whispering
"You can fight all you want you'll never win in the end"

Sometimes in the evening when I'm lying in my bed
I am taken to the forest to the isolated shed
And I wake with his words resonating in my head
And I can't stop thinking about the gist of what he said

He said:
So watch your mouth
Or you're going to make a grave mistake
Hold your tongue
Or you're going to catch a bullet in the head
So watch your mouth
Or you're going to make a grave mistake
Don't die for anything less than the best of,
Everyone settles for the rest not the best of,
I will die for no less than the best of life

For a song written in 1984 this is amazingly appropriate for today.


Andy Warhol's modern man builds a castle in the air
The deck is stacked but his house of cards
Grows as high as the market will bear
It won't take much to make his ship of dreams
Come crashing to the ground
You just wait for the wheel of fate to turn
And the wind of the wolf is gonna blow it all down

Shallow rivers of fashion run on courses tried and true
The masses dive in and it washes them down
Makes 'em feel like they're all brand new
Blinding hatred caused by fear is
Showing in their eyes
They want their truth all black and white
But a rainbow never tells no lies to a

Stranger in a Strange Land
What's a man supposed to do?
Just a Stranger in a Strange Land
(Waiting and watching and wondering)
When will the light come shining through

To feed the heart's addiction, in answer to my soul
It may not be the best of worlds, but it's the only one I know
In the shadow of Damocles' atomic sword
We learn to live with fear
Stringing out lives of quiet desperation
We're all just strangers here
Riding along on the razor edge
Burned in the acid rain
Groped in the darkness, searching for a way
To fill the empty space inside
And between us all
