The Humans' Race

Inside the place where we hide our face
And try to fake out fate with the faith we place
Inside a world wide race where the humans chase
For more than what we're given

Nowadays people don't talk freely
We walk these streets, go home
And not be seen, we watch TV alone
Then phone in our orders for Chinese delivery
Closed in our quarters, so high we forget
That we ever knew any better than this
And now we swim in the sewage
Together in bliss and it’s a sad state of affairs
They're making us scared to even set foot outside our own houses
And now it’s like every place I look I see
Propaganda from the papers, to the books I read
And they're preparing us for a staged terrorist war
So they can centralize the power and have us scared to the core
My parents ignored, I guess it’s just too deeply imbedded in their heads
That the truth is on TV, So breathe deep and be free of all this
Civilized society or whatever you call it


sometimes i get lost in my trips through escapism
vision of a world free from greed, war and racism
and isn't it a gift how i'm free inside
they can steal a childs mind but never rob him of his light
and some nights we all fall asleep feeling like hypocrites
say you changed the world but only talked a bit of sh*t
we all quit on ourselves at one point or another
suffer bouts with self doubt as we try to recover
but it all starts from thought and talk which leads to action
how far can we be pushed till we rspond with reaction
for now i turn my back on all i want to leave behind
this piece of mind is an illusion of the freedom i can't find


The freedom, the freedom, the freedom I can't find
The freedom, the freedom, the freedom I can't find
The freedom, the freedom, the freedom I can't find
The freedom I can't find, the freedom I can't find

Inside the place where we hide our face
And try to fake out fate with the faith we place
Inside a world wide race where the humans chase
For more than what we're given

Inside the place where we hide our face
And try to fake out fate with the faith we place
In a world wide race where the humans chase
And try to take things from the living

Why yes Just watch who you playing
It ain't me in a way, where the odds are on my side
*Count em up* one three five
It ain't beyond a day
I can't even find my mind, *help me out*
Be my guide
It ain't beyond a day
I got no one to blame, I got nothing but shame
And it's a rainy day, I need sunshine
But I'm just one blind man
Nothing left to see and nothing left to say
But nothing left to hear and nothing left to jade
And nothing left me today because I had nothing left to say
Nothing, done up and went away
When the same pain became insane
Picture in the picture frame
You big b*tch to plain
Kiss your brain, this love game
Your history maintains loves smile remains
I'll take a leave of absence
With a sleeve of ________
5 grams of magic mushrooms
And I'll see what happens
And if you need me
I won't be reached
I'll be relaxing
With my feet up
Send a postcard
I'll read the caption
I don't need distractions
Coffee, weed or aspirin
Just open minds and open hearts
So come see us rapping
And when I'm done doing my thing
I won't be a has been
I'll just be done doing my thing
With my seat relaxing

And on the day I die
I can say I tried to save my tribe
Please don't cry
Away I fly where I can play by my rules
And take my time, reach those skies
And on the day I die
I can say I tried to save my tribe
Please don't cry
Away I fly where I can play by my rules
And take my time, reach those skies

Inside the place where we hide our face
And try to fake out fate with the faith we place
Inside a world wide race where the humans chase
For more than what we're given

Inside the place where we hide our face
And try to fake out fate with the faith we place
In a world wide race where the humans chase
And try to take things from the living

I like that band

they rule!
now easily in my top 3 all time favourites

I can't say that they're in my top three all-time favourites...my first true love is punk.

But they are right up there.

i like some punk, but i'm discriminating in my tastes. To me, too many punk bands sound like 14yr old boys and that sort of pushes me away. On the other hand, punk shows are some of the highest-energy shows i've ever been to. Oftentimes the lyrics leave something to be desired as well.

The only punk band i've heard that i still listen to alot is Misfits, post-danzig. Michael Graves voice is blows me away. the famous monsters album rules me.

haha nice link.

There is quite a bit of shitty punk. but there isn't as much shitty old school punk.
I don't much care for Misfits, though I used to be pretty into them. I like a bit of metal and grunge but I've never been able to really get into them.

i like the whole grunge thing and hip hop underground deal but i dont like the whole punk stuff because it is now too commercialized. But because i dont like punk music doesnt mean i dont like danzig because it is not even the same as now
