Judge & Jury

Artist(Band):98 Mute
(Print the Lyrics)
Why must you insist on constant analysis
Why can you just get over it
Got a mind of my own
I can not be your clone
Ive got my own road to follow
Don't try to change my ways
Don't try to twist my fate
Don't try to program me or censor the words I say
Don't humor me and then secretly disapprove
Cause it will only turn me off and against you
Don't try to be my judge and jury
Don't try to pass sentence on me
Don't try to be my judge and jury
Don't try to pass sentence on me
Your endless scrutiny will cause my mutiny
Your rule Your reign is past my warranty
Here's where I make my stand you never stood a chance
I will not do that song and dance

Growing Old

Im gonna tell you what you dont want to hear
Youre gonna hear the truth
Youre gonna find out how life can be so unfair
Dont let them try to take control of you
Stand tall and walk with pride
Believe in yourself and good things will come to you
Live your life how you feel is right
Weigh the consequences and think before you do
Before you know it your youth is gone
Responsibility has found its way to you
So while youre still young take full advantage
Pack your days with memories to bring along with you
I know that when I look back it will always bring a smile to my face
And as I look to the future I see so many more that I can hardly wait
Growing old doesnt mean that the fun has to end
We all grow old nows the time to let the good times begin
Dont let your life slip by
I know theres still a million things
I want to try before I die
The time has come to seize the day

Slow Motion Riot

What have we here storm before calm.
Strung out on fear so pass me the napalm
Break Bread with me before it is stolen
Sleep with one eye open silence is golden
Life a magazine Death a Reality
Drug dealer heroes thug celebrities
Rush hour gridlock may seem drastic
An open road compared to drug traffic
Starving to death on a Quaalude diet
Living in a Slow Motion Riot
Concisness it has been gagged and bound
Better make your last confession
The worlds doing its best impression
Of a ship with nowhere to go but down
Skyscraper fantasies Ghetto realities
Dreams watered down like softcore pornography
Watch your step gang related death
Funeral day wonder whos next
Crime is the standard built up Immunity
Only care if it's our community

Hit You Back

Condition Critical its getting physical
Why does it have to be this way
You think you have a droit license to exploit
Authoritative right of way
We won't stay frozen by the oncoming headlights
We won't be beaten inside out by parasites
You taunt us and we will fight back
Don't think were scared of you and will not react
Count on a counterattack
I promise if you hit us we will hit you back
If what goes around always goes around
The circles nearly complete
As we bid adieu a little gift for you
Our reciprocity
Eye for an eye Hand to hand We see your jibes
And raise you our clenched fists
If you steal our daily bread
We'll make sure you choke on it
We won't be intimidated by half-wits and idiots
We won't be charmed by any two-face hypocrites

Great Expectations

When I look up at these hollowed walls of high achievement and storied victories
I can hear irony laughing cause you see pride where I see vanity
Impressing all of your friends has never been one of my intentions
My heart is set of different goals
I wont be a trophy for anyone
So sorry if I havent quite lived up to your great expectations
You know if I could Id walk on water for you but
I have limitations
Tell me when your ego gets hungry do you shake the smaller fruit off the family tree
And when you go to sleep do you forget to count the black sheep
Sometimes whats simple math to most doesnt add up when you get behind closed doors
A photo may speak a thousand words but do you really get the picture I just want a life to call my own is that too much to ask for
The fact is Ive committed no crime here
And I apologize for nothing so open up your eyes and try to realize
That we dont share the same worldview
I dont mean to disrespect but dont you ever forget
That I cant live my life for you

Beauty Queen

Pretty face, simple mind.
Take a look whats inside.
Sugar coated shell, as sweet as cake.
But youre as smart as a frosted flake.
Since you were born youve always been a beauty queen.
Every single little school girls fantasy.
Every night you wake me up in my wet dream.
But youre talented enough for porno magazines.
Fashion girl, a living lie.
Painted face, airbrushed thighs.
Pay you millions, though youre talentless.
It makes me wish I had tits.
But what will you do when your glory days are over?
Will you find yourself asking whats left for me?
And what will you do when your torch has finally burned out?
Who will you turn to and where will you be?
And will you cry when you go to sleep at night knowing that your entire life has been skin deep?
Whos gonna be your faceless partner to swim with you in your shallow waters who will be your victim who will you bleed?
Beauty queen, one of a kind.
Fashion worlds left you behind.

Answers

A potpourri of anarchy.
A cold slap in the face.
Chaos, armageddon couldnt lively up this place.
With caffeine in my bloodstream and a blank stare in my eyes,
I sit back, relax, write facts.
Or are they, just simply lies?
Why are we here?
And whats it all for?
Are we pawns in the game?
If so, whats the score?
With this absence of truth and presence of lies?
How can you wonder why we cant find some answers?
You wont find the answers in the books that youve read.
Youre searching for answers,
But theyre all in side your head.
You wont find the answers in the words that theyve said.
A textbook designed to confine individuals thinking.
Social practice revolves around what youve been drinking.
The masses run like rodents to the scent of the rat trap.
Seeking instant wisdom but instead their heads get snapped.

Simpler Days

Growing up at a hundred miles per hour
Relentless pursuit of absolute power
Engines of progress full steam ahead
Ranting and raving while being force fed
Deafening sounds of machines humming
Fury and pace of people running
Endless noise of the blood pumping clock
Flash of the lights pulsating nonstop
Tear down these walls Its progress we can have it all
Infrastructure falls Its progress that's what we call it
Traditions are erased Gone without a trace
Take me back to simpler times and simpler ways
Simpler Days
Round and round spinning our wheels
Into the ground the grinding of the drills
No time for family No time for rest
Got to work quick make the world a mess
Relief is nowhere to be seen
Foreclosure of the American dream
Domino theory takes hold

Fight Of Your Life

Patience breathe slowly
Keep 'til the pain subsides
Ill try not to make you laugh
Because I know it hurts so bad
Stricken without warning
No portent No tell tale signs
Silent laying half alive
With angels weeping at your side
Hope you wore your riot gear your in for the Fight of Your Life
Best you wear your finest suit You may need some makeup tonight
Your eyes tell me that you're not through and you'll battle through this plight
Better do all you can do cause one things true you're in for the fight of your life
Slowly count backward anything to clear your head
Waiting for an outcome
Unending sadness makes you numb
Search for a religion
It's as close as you'll ever get
Paling fingers intertwined
God how could you be this unkind
Searching deep inside for some safe sanctuary

Young Americans

There's something wrong and it's our government.
Is this the way that it has always been.
We're being led by used car lot salesman.
But what to do..
The time has come to fight my friends.
Don't patronize me as if my brain is shallow.
Put a price on my head i'll put a tag on your toe.
A scandal in the white house please say it ain't so.
You cannot lie to me because the american dream isn't as it seems.
I read the news another scandal, a lie.
I hear your speech i watch the bullshit fly.
When passed the day that mortality died but what to do.
The time has come to fight my friends.
The rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer the writing's on the wall.
All the president's men sit like fattened cats smoking cigars inside the white house walls.
A transient makes his bed from cardboard boxes.
His hotel the steps of capital hill. so what's the price of happiness for you my friend, a hundred grand or a five dollar bill?
There's something wrong and it's our government.
Is this the way that it has always been?
Can't sit and watch as our country descends.
