LYRICS:
1. Proletariat
Twisted and perverse grind the wheels of this machine.
Powered by mass legions of subservients, forever kicked and maimed.
Freedom here is the right to serve or starve,
But still you stay stranded in someone else's grey dream.

Chorus:
Preaching senseless slogans
Living to advocate the wrong
Caressing the aristocratic assholes
Of the power monger and his throng

We cordially invite you to sell yourself to corporate America.
We see you with a future in the field of mindless slavery.
One way or another we will work you into our lifeless framework.
One way or another we will make you one with our oppressive structure.

Your promising capitalist propaganda won't run my mind.
Needless materialism won't make me ignore the unbelievable strife.
And I won't slave endlessly for your inhuman establishments.
No I won't bleed for your system.
I'm a forever animal never terminal machine.
I'm a forever animal, never terminal fucking machine.

We won't live a life of dismal slavery to uphold someone else's throne.
So fuck the filthy power monger and his mindless throng.

2. Selective Services
The president might not get re-elected and state productivity is low.
You must protect my overabundance grab your gun and go.
Only first class to war riding regions would we have you fly,
Remember youthful citizens are priviliged enough to die!

Chorus:
No!
No-No-No-No-No!
No one has the right to put a price on my life.

It's always a good show of respect to report and sign. No make haste.
Civilian sacrifice to help heal economic strain, a definite sign of good taste.
Where's a threat to our world wide manifest destiny, and it's time to prove your worth.
So join our fascist fighting regimes and help police the Earth!

Chorus
Let's show those third world nation shits who's got the upper hand.
Good ole conventional warfare it's back by popular demand.
It's up to America to administer the necessary disregard for all life.
Success assured by our violent exploits make our sterile hell thrive.

Chorus
No one has the right to rape the freedom of my eyes!

3. Puppets of Democracy
Presidents and politics are bought like stocks you see.
Security and nobility have a hefty price on their heads
These purchased fanatical fascists on strings exist,
To sustain meaningless makeshit freedom for the rich.

Chorus:
Puppets of democracy
They work for big business not you or me

Will of the people? That's the biggest joke I've ever heard
Politics to serve the common man? That's absurd.
Vote? The right to choose who lied to you best.
Democracy? Is just another excuse to lead and oppress.
