Lyrics

I fear to lose all sympathy for the human race
So sick of making excuse for an obvious disgrace
This is a race that murders beauty and puts filth atop it's grave
And though I was born the same I sit ultimately ashamed
And I would so gladly love to shed this cursed skin
Give all this up for the chance to start again as anything but human
So deep lies my disgust, so strong my venom
Yes, there was a time when I fought with hope
Only to find that mere hope was a rope
A quick painless death, their cure for my hate leaving me safe and sedate
But soon enough you realize, it just don't work that way
You can hope all you like but harmless you shall stay
Mere hope is harmless,turn it to rage!
And with just this change of tactics, from harmless hope to lethal action
You set the wheels in motion and begin to feel a sense of satisfaction
Watching the buildings burn, and when you can see fear in their eyes
And though the stooges of the state will call you "terrorist"
You'll know what you've done is just and right
Then they will say you must hate people, look at all the damage done
Label you a freak or fanatic, and they won't be entirely wrong
But no you don't hate people, just what they have become
Mindless greedy mother fuckers, I can't bring myself to sympathy for such scum
So no more of your lip service . there is no more room left on the fence
You can't straddle it forever, are you with us or are you with them?
And in the end this is the choice we are left with
And I for one will go along with those who fight the institutions of destruction
For our ultimate liberation,because I know it's right
Join us! join us! with strength who then could stop us? with strength who then could stop us now?
