1. Recipe for Hate2:02

   Letra

   Can't you feel it can't you see it The promise of prosperity It's overwhelming you and me It afflicts us like a disease Ubiquitous compelling too We cling to you like crazy glue And inject such a potent seed It's best for all humanity The spread of culture The sword of progress The vector of suffrage A warm and septic breeze The pomp and elation The duty and vocation The blood of the hybrid It's just a recipe Re-living our ancestry The frightful lack of harmony Our fore-fothers who led the way Their victims are still here today Now it's time to erase the story Of our bogus fate Our history as it's portrayed It's just a recipe for hate
2. Kerosene2:41

   Letra

   Everywhere I look I see exclusive huddled uninviting Shelter is a privilege of the same and competent Kerosene keeps me warm I'm alone to watch it burn Kerosene Exposure is a pitiful and pointless way of dying Before it gets me I'll build a funeral pyre Kerosene keeps me warm I'm alone to watch it burn Kerosene I'm a man and my dignity won't wave Tonight buildings rage! Kerosene keeps me warm Feels so good to watch it burn Kerosene Kerosene keeps me warm I'm alone to watch it burn Kerosene Kerosene keeps me warm Feels so good to watch it burn Kerosene [to fade]
3. American Jesus3:17
4. Portrait Of Authority2:44

   Letra

   Recorded live June 26, 1996 at The Arena in Berlin, Germany Nothing more, nothing less, An icon on the wall, decoration and duress, That which many strive to be, It's the marble statue standing over me, And nobody has the will to tear it down, It determines wrong and right, But to me it's just a stereotype And it makes us lose our sight The portrait of authority, You tell me that's what I'm supposed to be (it embodies what he cannot be) Another time, another man, An oppressive intrusion And a plague across his land, And it haunts him every day, It tells him he has no chance His hopes just fades away, And he lives his life prepared to tear it down, But he can't muster the support, And to him it's just a stereotype Of his life-long fight
5. Man With A Mission3:11

   Letra

   Rescue me when I get too deep, Talk to me there's nothing to tell, Everyone, is a hydocrite, Look to me, I'll save your soul Now somebody out there must be Reading my mail Cuz' everybody knows I'm a man with a mission, Coming to your town today, I can damm you to fiery perdition, Cuz' I'm a man with a mission Follow me, when you give up, Work for me, it'll serve you well Everyone is a hydocrite, come to me, I'll save your soul Now somebody out there must be Tapping my phone, Cuz everybody knows I'm a man with a mission, I'm gonna fly you away, High above the noise and competition, Yeah I'm a man with a mission, Passing through your town today I condemn you To fiery perdition, Yeah I'm a man with a mission
6. All Good Soldiers3:07

   Letra

   All good soldiers crack like boulders The sun climbs up to a razor, Violins, new boots, and numbers on a chain All good soldiers All good soldiers fall in line When they march and shout All good soldiers are a spectacle Marching and singing Will go anywhere the president says Because the president believes in God Like all good soldiers should All good soldiers wait like warheads When the fighting starts who will be Accountable, a cannibal, a cannonball All good soldiers, all good soldiers All good soldiers fall in line When they march and shout All good soldiers are respectible Marching and singing Will go anywhere the president says Because the president believes in God Like all good soldiers should It's 6 am I can see my breath And the clay dirt is laughing at a weakling boy Today is the day That I'll write my friends It's something I've been trying to remember I had a dream of a wall That was twenty-one stories tall All... All good soldiers fall in line When they march and shout All good soldiers are a spectacle Marching and singing Will go anywhere the president says Because the president believes in God Like all good soldiers should
7. Watch It Die2:34

   Letra

   I was born on planet earth The rotating ball where man comes first It's been around for a long, long time But now it's time to watch it die I saw a man on my big blue screen He ruled the world economy He said the rich would never concede But some day soon he'll be put to sleep I've seen the life of the forest green And adaptations of the deep blue seas And who knows who is the fittest They will all soon be put to rest On a plunging flight and we're sitting In the pilots seat in the midst of life People on a dark horizon praying Somebody will save their lives I was born on planet earth At a drastic time full of plastic mirth And everyday I've seen increasing signs And you would too if you'd opened your eyes You had a chance you did not try So now it's time to watch it die
8. Struck A Nerve3:47

   Letra

   There's an old man on a city bus Holding a candy cane And it isn't even christmas He see's a note in the obituary That his last friend has died There's an infant clinging To his overweight mother in the cold As they go to shop for cigarettes And she spends her last dollar On a bottle of vodka for tonight And I guess it struck a nerve Like I had to squint my eyes You can never get out Of the line of sight Like a barren winter day Or a patch of unburned green Like a tragic real dream I guess it struck a nerve Every day I wander In negative disposition As I'm bombarded by superlatives Realizing very well that I am not alone Introverted I look to tomorrow for salvation But I'm thinking altruistically And a wave of overwhelming doubt Turns me to stone And I guess it struck a nerve Sent a murmur to my heart We just haven't got time To crack the maze Like a magic speeding clock Or a cancer in our cells A collision in the dark I guess it struck a nerve I try to close my eyes But I cannot ignore the stimuli If there's a purpose for us all It remains a secret to me Don't ask me to justify my life
9. My Poor Friend Me2:42

   Letra

   I know a man Who doesn't have many friends I know a place he lives Where trouble never ends I know it's hard for him To read 'tween the lines And his days are getting so much shorter He simply turns away And dons a bitter frown His world is crumbling His ship is weighted down He doesn't care As long as he can wear the crown I know this man all too well Its my poor friend me A portrayal of the great dichotomy (a reminder of a tragic history) Its my poor friend me And I'm running out of steam I know there are people Who are cynical and vain They point their finger 'cuz they can't accept the blame They live their lives Under a blanket of shame and their progeny Crawl from underneath it Lately I've come To see the solution And it begins with me But I'm so fallibly human I've picked the lock But will not turn the key Of people running scared We live, breathe and die Off to a world, our time is slipping on by We have solutions, but don't even try And I feel I know just who to blame
10. Lookin' In2:03
11. Don't Pray On Me2:42
12. Modern Day Catastrophists2:46

    Letra

    Take those potatoes out of your ear Listen to the warnings Verify all your fears There's a world outside That's ready to blow And we're all to blame When it finally explodes You gotta listen up Gotta listen to what They're telling you Gotta listen up and think About what they're saying to you They're the modern day catastrophists They've got practical solutions (know all the right equations) They're the self-appointed Righteous pragmatists And they know 50 ways To save the world What makes you think You can cure our disease? Maybe it's just our biology Maybe it's time to make room For another species This is the 21st Century
13. Skyscraper3:15

    Letra

    Come let us make bricks and burn them hard, We'll build a city with a tower for the world And climb so we can reach anything we may propose, Anything at all Build me up, tear me down Like a skyscraper Build me up, then tear down These joining walls So they can't climb at all I know why you tore it down that day You thought, that if you got caught we'd all go away, Like a spoiled little baby who can't come out to play, You had your revenge Build me up, tear me down Like a skyscraper Build me up, then tear down These joining walls So they can't climb at all Well madness reigned and paradise drowned When Babel's walls came crashing down Now the echoes roar for a story writ ["for a story told" is the live version] That was hardly understood And never any good Build me up, tear me down Like a skyscraper Build me up, then tear down These joining walls So they can't climb at all Build me up [x2]
14. Stealth0:42

    Letra

    Stealth This weekend I will spend over 800 million dollars on drugs. First I will continue pushing free narcotics for all low income people not now Covered and soon after that we can get rid of each and every one of them. And I'm doing what I think is right, and they will certainly deserve it. And I... (The lyrics to Stealth are spliced together from President Bush's State of the Union Address in 1992).
