PC = Potential Criminal
01:42

What exactly did you expect me to understand?
Is that accepting me for who I am
Cracking racist jokes expecting me not to be offended
'cause you consider yourself my friend
So in my insecurity
I pretended to be amused by your bigotry
Came here when I was two years old
Grew up in a small town
People whispered behind my back
Looking me up and down
I'm tired
Always being abused a potential criminal
I'm constantly reminded of the difference between me and you
It doesn't hurt as much as it used too
So I've learned to respect myself
I've learned to trust again
And not to feel ashamed
Of where I'm from or who I am
All my life
I've been reminded that I don't belong here!

I wish it was summer
The sun would shine
I had nothing to do but to waste my time
We could hang out
Riding our bikes
I'd shave your head
And you could help me with my spikes
But it isn't summer
It's cold outside
I'm overworked
And got no time
To do all the things we talked about
To do all the things we talked about
I'm gettin my dreads done
You're growing your hair long
Nothing's what it used to be
I guess I'll have the memories to carry them with me
Autumn winter spring
I'll be holding on to yesterday the summer came und went away too fast
I wish it was summer
The sun would shine
I had nothing to do but to waste my time
We could hang out
Riding our bikes
I'd shave your head
And you could help me with my spikes
But it isn't summer
It's cold outside
I'm overworked
And got no time
To do all the things we talked about
To do all the things we talked about
I'm gettin my dreads done
You're growing your hair long
Nothing's what it used to be
I guess I'll have the memories to carry them with me
Autumn winter spring
I'll be holding on to yesterday the summer came und went away too fast

State of Conformity
02:28
|
|
||
Comfortable lives in a capitalist democracy
Feeling safe and secure until they take it away
Consumed by greed
Pacified in apathy
Were disinformed to fit the norm that corporations and media created
Stimulated but constantly unsatisfied we are manipulated
To value commodities higher than justice
Higher than equality higher than justice
Our standard of life is measured by what we own
Subdued kept happy and blind
Unconsiously confined
Kept on your knees no one bites the hand that feeds
In a state of conformity where we value commodities higher than justice

More To Life

I was easily convinced and taught what to believed took me years to realize that i like many others had been deceived so i set off to find my own through dreams redefine my life my values
Tired of being just another cog in their machinery
Don't be scared of living there's more to life than what they offer you
Don't sell your dreams reclaim control of your life take back what the stole from you

Is that really you or just a mantel of identity you throw on as sonn someone is around then get undressed tear it down this wall of expectations to fit into the congregation dress codes attitudes brought to you by some money hungry corporation its all make-believed a rebellion cut to fit and made acceptable is this really us or are we becoming just another product formed and confined by the expectations of others of who we are and what we should do but if we only aimed to please you we would still be playing the same old songs as yesterday and if you dont understand what i mean... well what can i say? 'hero of our time' was a funny song back then nut to play it today would be king of lame...

Pecan Pie

Oh what i would give for a good cup of coffee
And some pecan pie at that cafe in Guelph
I know a really good record store along the way
But i'm keeping that to myself
Oh i've been home for too long
I'm fed-up with myself and my daily routine
And though i know i miss you
It's gonna be nice
To get back on the road again
We're going to new places meeting new people
Familiar faces in the cities we have played before
Take a detour to the record store
It's going to be nice
To get myself some pecan pie

Diversity
02:50
|
|

Lay down some general outlines guiding principals but one thing we don't need is the ten commandments on how to be accepted into a movement that claims to be free from any order of hierarchy. So why not let this be a place to relax and make life seem a little less mundane. Leave room for improvement! Diversity! If we build up walls to surround ourselves and keep on preaching to the converted soon this movement will be deserted, there will be no one left to read the statements. I'm not saying this is only entertainment, but how do you expect to reach out to people with a different point of view, or expose unaware kids to something new if they don't feel welcome 'cause they don't agree with everything you say and do? Lets not make this an exclusive club for the self-proclaimed eminent few
