I Want To Love
I check the time
I check again (waiting, waiting)
Maybe with time
My fears will end
I had a choice (you let it go)
took on your voice (to prove, to show)
How right I am (how right you are)
How right I am
I'm on the field my gun in hand
To prove, to show how right I am
Impulsive shocks vibrate my wrist
I see the blood, I can't resist
I shoot again, again and again
Violence is my only friend
Blood covers my thoughts
It darkens me
I think unsure, is this me?
I want to live
I want to love
So much to give
I can't give enough
War in my head
Fighting myself (seeing, seeing)
Feelings I had
Weren't truly felt
I had a choice (you let it go)
Took on your voice (to prove, to show)
I am aware (for all to see)
I am aware
Blood is splattered on my clothes
Do I need to kill my foes?
I see their faces dead and cold
I see their faces growing old
I feel my love, don't want to know
But violent thoughts are letting go
These images flood me with cold stares
They need my love, my love to share
I want to live
I want to love
So much to give
I can't give enough

If They Only Knew
Have you heard the sirens scream at night?
Have you seen the lights?
Do you think it's alright?
Uncertain people judging me
Hiding themselves, they think that we can't see
Skin and clothes is all they'll be
Police security is all they know
From unseen foes
On TV shows
Help them, help them
If they only knew
With love from me and you
Let themselves come through
People, people, poor man on the streets
With little to eat
No place to sleep
Rich man puts this vision on the shelf
Strict beliefs, so hard to help
No real friends, he's by himself
Two cars, big house is what he's told to want
In youth this vision is strong
Human need now is gone
Chorus
Governments they feed on people's fears
No truth for years and years
They don't see the tears
To them the people are material
To use and control
Money is their goal
Protection of the income of the state
Greed running through their veins
Yet they feel no shame
Chorus

Violent Lies
So the old are happy but the young cry
Born with peace, the gift of life
As the young grow older, is implanted with age
A vision of life, as an act on a stage
In the eyes of peace, the act is abuse
But the young are unsure and unclear of the truth
Again and again they're exposed to violence
Propaganda instilled and accepted in silence
They soon go to school, and become students
Boys and girls become separate units
They're taught what to say, what to wear, how to act
Peace becomes myth and war becomes fact
Boys become soldiers, girls sexual objects
All paying money for government projects
Lonely feelings are being ignored
While guns and ammunition are being stored
The young are now old and the peace is dead
Violent lies running through their heads!

Politicians
What are you thinking? What are your thoughts?
Thinking of money, thinking of wants
You want my attention, you want to survive
But where will your thoughts go when no one's left alive?
Another body falls dead
Are you happy?
Are you still content when you hear the cries?
I wanna let you know that somebody sees through your selfish games
and your bloody lies
Your always protected in your insecure life
Forcing upon us, what you think is right
You use the law to keep the money coming
Give us a number to keep us from running
Another body falls dead
Are you happy?
Are you still content when you hear the cries?
I want to let you know that somebody sees through your vicious games
and your bloody lies
