"Annihilation" 

From dehumanization to arms production, 
For the benefit of the nation or its destruction 
Power, power, the law of the land, 
Those living for death will die by their own hand, 
Life's no ordeal if you come to terms, 
Reject the system dictating the norms 
From dehumanization to arms production, 
To hasten the nation towards its destruction 
Power, power, the law of the land, 
Those living for death will die by their own hand, 
Life's no ordeal if you come to terms, 
Reject the system dictating the norms 
From dehumanization to arms production, 
To hasten the nation towards its destruction 
Power, power, the law of the land, 
Those living for death will die by their own hand, 
Life's no ordeal if you come to terms, 
Reject the system dictating the norms 
From dehumanization to arms production, 
To hasten this nation towards its destruction, 
It's your choice, your choice, your choice, your choice, 
Peace or annihilation 

"Imagine" 

Imagine there's no heaven, 
It's easy if you try, 
No hell below us, 
Above us only sky, 
Imagine all the people 
living for today... 
Imagine there's no countries, 
It isnt hard to do, 
Nothing to kill or die for, 
No religion too, 
Imagine all the people 
living life in peace... 
You may say Im a dreamer, 
but Im not the only one, 
I hope some day you'll join us, 
And the world will live as one. 
(Imagine all the people sharing all the world) 
Imagine no possesions, 
I wonder if you can, 
No need for greed or hunger, 
A brotherhood of man, 
Imagine all the people 
Sharing all the world... 
You may say Im a dreamer, 
but Im not the only one, 
I hope some day you'll join us, 
And the world will live as one. 

"(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace Love And Understanding" 

As I walk on through this wicked world, 
Searching for light in the darkness of insanity, 
I ask myself, Is all hope lost? 
Is there only pain, and hatred, and misery? 
And each time I feel like this inside, 
There's one thing I wanna know, 
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?, 
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? 
And as I walked on through troubled times, 
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes, 
So where are the strong?, 
And who are the trusted?, 
And where is the harmony?, 
Sweet harmony 
'Cause each time I feel it slipping away, just makes me wanna cry, 
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?, 
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? 
So where are the strong?, 
And who are the trusted?, 
And where is the harmony?, 
Sweet harmony 
'Cause each time I feel it slipping away, just makes me wanna cry, 
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding? 

"What's Going On" 

Mother, mother, 
There's too many of you crying, 
Brother, brother, brother, 
There's far too many of you dying, 
You know we've got to find a way, 
To bring some loving here today 
Father, father, 
We don't need to escalate, 
You see, war is not the answer, 
For only love can conquer hate, 
You know we've got to find a way, 
To bring some loving here today 
Picket lines and picket signs, 
Don't punish me with brutality, 
Talk to me, so you can see, 
Oh, what's going on, 
What's going on, 
Yeah, what's going on, 
Ah, what's going on, 
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong, 
But who are they to judge us?, 
Simply because our hair is long, 
You know we've got to find a way, 
To bring some understanding here today, Oh 
Picket lines and picket signs, 
Don't punish me with brutality, 
Talk to me, 
So you can see, 
What's going on. 

"Passive" 

“Dead as dead can be,” my doctor tells me 
But I just can’t believe him, ever the optimistic one 
I’m sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy 
Wake up and face me, don’t play dead cause maybe 
Someday I will walk away and say, “You disappoint me,” 
Maybe you’re better off this way 
Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic 
I catch a brief reflection of what you could and might have been 
It's your right and your ability 
To become…my perfect enemy… 
Wake up (we'll catch you) and face me (come one now), 
Don’t play dead (don't play dead) 
Cause maybe (because maybe) 
Someday I’ll (someday I'll) walk away and say, “You disappoint me,” 
Maybe you’re better off this way 
Maybe you’re better off this way 
Maybe you’re better off this way 
Maybe you’re better off this way 
You’re better of this; you’re better off this; 
Maybe you’re better off! 
Wake up (can't you) and face me (come on now), 
Don’t play dead (don't play dead) 
Cause maybe (because maybe) 
Someday I’ll (someday I'll) walk away and say, “You fucking disappoint me!” 
Maybe you’re better off this way 
Go ahead and play dead 
I know that you can hear this 
Go ahead and play dead 
Why can't you turn and face me? 
Why can't you turn and face me? 
Why can't you turn and face me? 
Why can't you turn and face me? 
You fucking disappoint me! 
Passive aggressive bullshit 


"Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie" 

Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, 
I need some more, 
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie 
Don't ask what for 
Sitting here like a loaded gun, 
Waiting to go off, 
I've got nothing to do, 
But shoot my mouth off 
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie 
I need some more, 
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie 
Don't ask what for 
I know the world's got problems, 
I've got problems of my own, 
Not the kind that can't be solved, 
With an atom bomb 
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie 
I need some more, 
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie 
Don't ask what for 
You know I'm gonna go out, 
Get something for my head, 
If I keep on doing this, 
I'm gonna end up dead 
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie 
I need some more, 
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie 
Don't ask what for 


"People Are People" 

We're different colors, 
And different creeds, 
And different people, 
Have different needs, 
It's obvious you hate me, 
Though I've done nothing wrong, 
I've never even met you, 
What could I have done? 
People are people so why should it be? 
You and I shouldn't get along. 
People are people so why should it be? 
You should hate me. 
You're punching and kicking, 
And you're shouting at me, 
I'm relying on your common decency, 
So far it hasn't surfaced, 
But I'm sure it exists, 
It just takes a while to travel 
From your head to your fist. 
I can't understand, 
What makes a man, 
Hate another man, 
Help me understand, 
People are people, 
So why should it be?, 
You and I shouldn't get along, 
People are people, 
So why should it be, 
You Should Hate me 
I can't understand, 
What makes a man, 
Hate another man?, 
Help me understand. 


"Freedom Of Choice" 

We're victims of sedition on the open sea. 
No one ever said life was free. 
Sink, swim, go down with the ship. 
Just use your freedom of choice. 
I'll say it again in the land of the free 
Use your freedom of choice, freedom of choice. 
In ancient Rome 
there was a pawn 
who followed along 
and watched it fall 
he cast a stone 
he felt secure 
he felt that he would never be heard. 
Freedom of choice 
it's what you've got 
Freedom of choice 
You're given a voice 
you don't want it 
seems to be the rule of thumb 
don't be tricked by waht you see 
you've got two ways to go 
I'll say it again in the land of the free: 
Use your freedom of choice, freedom of choice. 
Freedom of choice 
it's what you've got 
Freedom of choice... 
In ancient Rome 
there was a pawn 
who followed along 
and watched it fall 
he cast a stone 
he felt secure 
he felt that his voice would never be heard. 
Freedom of choice 
it's what you've got 
Freedom from choice 
it's what you want. 
Freedom of choice - 
it's what you've got. 
Freedom from choice. 
It's what you want. 
Freedom from choice 
It's what you want. 
Freedom from choice. 

"Let's Have A War" 

There's so many of us, 
So many of us, 
So many, there's so many, there's so many 
Let's have a war, 
So you can go and die, 
Let's have a war, 
We could all use the money, 
Let's have a war, 
We need the space, 
Let's have a war, 
Clean out this place 
It already started in the city, 
Suburbia will be just as easy 
Let's have a war, 
Jack up the Dow Jones, 
Let's have a war, 
It can start in New Jersey, 
Let's have a war, 
Blame it on the middle-class, 
Let's have a war, 
We're like rats in a cage 
It already started in the city, 
Suburbia will be just as easy 
Let's have a war, 
Sell the rights to the networks, 
Let's have a war, 
Let our wallets get fat like last time, 
Let's have a war, 
Give guns to the queers, 
Let's have a war, 
The enemy's within 
It already started in the city, 
Suburbia will be just as easy 

"Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums" 

Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window 
Go back to sleep 
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,

I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason 
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices son 
They're one in the same, I must isolate you… 
Isolate and save you from yourself … 

"When The Levee Breaks" 

If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break, 
If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break, 
And the water gonna come in, have no place to stay 
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan, 
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan, 
Thinking about my baby and my happy home, 
If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break, 
If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break, 
And all these people have no place to stay 
Now look here mama what am I to do?, 
Now look here mama what am I to do?, 
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to 
I works on the levee mama both night and day, 
I works on the levee mama both night and day, 
I ain't got nobody, keep the water away 
Oh crying won't help you, praying won't do no good, 
Oh crying won't help you, praying won't do no good, 
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to lose 
I works on the levee, mama both night and day, 
I works on the levee, mama both night and day, 
I works so hard, to keep the water away 
I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me, 
I had a woman, she wouldn't do for me, 
I'm going back to my used to be 
It's a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan 
It's a mean old levee, cause me to weep and moan 
Gonna leave my baby, and my happy home 

"Fiddle And The Drum" 

And so once again, 
My dear Johnny, my dear friend, 
And so once again you are fighting us all, 
And when I ask you why, 
You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall, 
Oh, my friend, 
How did you come?, 
To trade the fiddle for the drum, 
You say I have turned, 
Like the enemies you've earned, 
But I can remember, 
All the good things you are, 
And so I ask you please, 
Can I help you find the peace and the star?, 
Oh, my friend, 
What time is this?, 
To trade the handshake for the fist 
And so once again, 
Oh, America my friend, 
And so once again, 
You are fighting us all, 
And when we ask you why, 
You raise your sticks and cry and we fall, 
Oh, my friend, 
How did you come, 
To trade the fiddle for the drum 
You say we have turned, 
Like the enemies you've earned, 
But we can remember, 
All the good things you are, 
And so we ask you please, 
Can we help you find the peace and the star?, 
Oh my friend, 
We have all come, 
To fear the beating of your drum
