"Blame your boss for your shitty life. Blame your job, your suit, or tie. Blame your blissful ignorance, just to prove your innocence. The shape of a shape of a face, disassembling right before my eyes, eyes without whites. What wail embattled break. A sentiment I must sing, but what does it mean?"

"Both it and I, we disappear sometimes. We find a way to find some peace of mind, tonight. You ask for more to complete the equation, just get control of the situation. You ask for more but doubt my intuition. No need for explanation. Disregard all of your nations! Both it and I, we disappear sometimes. We find a way to go and lose our mind, tonight. You can't afford to pay for antiquities, or make apparent meetings, yet still make time for vacations, to avoid the pressures of american industry. You ask for more to complete the equation, just control of the situation. You ask for more but doubt my intuition. No need for explanation. I will be your detonation! Both it and I, we disappear sometimes. We'll find a way to go and lose our minds, tonight..... Let's blow up a car! Warn all the people close and far! Let's blow up a car! Let's blow up the world! You ask for more to complete the equation, just control of the situation. You ask for more but doubt my intuition. No need for explanation. Fossil re-generation!

"You say you're hungry again, but you're never full. They say gluttony is sin, but it's become conditional. My appetite can't be tamed, and you're never enough, so I'll resort to the same, satisfaction I've known. Count your blessings. This is just our luck. Breaking rules again, 'Cause we don't give a fuck! Breaking bread again, Because we need new friends. If this is the end, I'll prove my innocence! I'll ever wanted to be, was everything, you ever wanted, me to be, and when it wasn't enough, I grasped, for my own, happiness! Count your blessings. This is just our luck. Breaking rules again, 'Cause we don't give a fuck! Breaking bread again, Because we need new friends. Count our victories, To prove our innocence!"

"Everybody's got a problem today, and it's parallel to the time that we waste. We just work our nine-to-fives until we figure it out. Who will you call tonight? Who with you brawl with tonight? This is our cult, And I swear it's not my fault, You're just another grain of sand, On an endless beach. So who will you call, When society falls? You should've given in, And joined up with us when you still had the chance, To remain innocent. Everyone's distracted by walking their dogs, and spending money they don't have at the shopping malls, while guys like us just sit and let you all waste your time, trying to figure it out. So, who will you call tonight? Who will you crawl in with tonight? This is our cult, And I swear it's not my fault, You're just another grain of sand, Lost on the endless beach. So who will you call, When society falls? You should've given in, And joined up with us when you still had the chance, To remain innocent. Innocent!"

"Last night I had a dream that all my friends were dead, and all my family and relatives were buried deep beneath the ground, but when I woke, to my surprise, looking through incandescent eyes, I saw the world was the same, and that my dream was true. I guess I'll live the american dream, like they want me to. I guess I will grow up, and get a job like I probably should. That's why we need to find out, What makes the human condition, So doubtful. 'Cause I'm doubtful, That this will work out.... Tonight, I'll lay my head, and I will count the endless sheep, so I can sleep perchance to dream, of a better world for me. Tonight, I'm running circles deep in my mind. Tonight, I really wish it wouldn't end like this, for me again. That's why we need to find out, What makes the human condition, So doubtful. 'Cause I'm doubtful, That this will work out...."

"The difference between you and me, is that I see things a little bit more clearly, When it's all said and done, there's nowhere to be seen, but there's only one thing that bothers me... Where's camaraderie? Where are my friends? If this is the end, I will prove my innocence. So where are you now? Becoming. Everything. You wanted, Me to be. Where's camaraderie? Where are my friends? If this is the end, I will prove my innocence. So where are you now? In the end, I will find all the things in the world, that ruined and spoiled, and destroyed the spirit of resistance, existence, and innocence we once shared, in a peaceful, yet powerful, coexistence...."

"My innocence was lost, but now I've found a way... When all the food that's left on your plate, is gone and I am running away, you won't see that smile on my face.... is gone! It's flown away. Another day is done, and if I'm the pawn, then I'm gone. You say I've got evil in my arteries. That I only speak one-sided. I guess my innocence is lost anyway.... Just 'cause I've had you in my sights, doesn't mean I've settled down, it just means I've had time to kill. You say you don't have much time today. That you're not feeling up to it. I guess our innocence was lost all along... Everybody's got a problem today, and it's parallel to the time that we waste. Be careful where you step and watch what you say, 'cause if you're not careful, these swift winds might blow you away...... They might blow you away."

“I can’t hear anything, That isn’t told to me. How can it be? I can’t see anything, That isn’t shown to me. What do I need? Sooner than later you’ll see, That this is a part of me, But I don’t know what to believe. Sooner than later you’ll see, That this is a part of me, And I have the answers you seek. Everyone wants the fruit, But you must be patient with the seed. If you take care of your needs, You’ll find the answers that you seek. I won’t hear anything, Until we are free to be. Please set me free! If you want the fruit, You must be patient with the seed. The eye in the sky is what guides us. It shows us the way so that we can find solace. Sometimes it seems that it’s blind to us, But it will still guide us til innocence finds us. Sooner than later you’ll see, That this is a part of me. I don’t know what to believe. Sooner than later you’ll see, That this is a part of me. I have the answers you seek.”

“She won the lottery, But lost it all in the war. Now she’s poor like the rest of us, And now she knows what we’ve fought for. So, she’ll hit the road, To find a boy who preaches the good word. Go onwards, Towards final victory. Go onwards if you must. Go onwards, Towards final victory, Go onwards if you must. Victory, though it is sweet, It seems our ends will never meet. And though we’ve tried, To stay alive, It’s not like I even tried, To make things right. (A generation of primitive innocence, And I will fossilize it... Within our own existence) But when she finds the boy, He says there’s no truth to what he says. But onwards, Towards final victory, Onwards you must. Go onwards, Towards final victory, Go onwards... you must! Victory, though it is sweet, It seems our ends will never meet. And though we’ve strived, To stay alive, It’s not like I even tried, To make things right. Go onwards! Go onwards! You must! It’s victory!”
