"Hating Hate"
 
Hatred! a deadly disease
it's pumping through the veins of every being on the planet
or so it seems.."maybe you, not me"
i see it clearly through the red film on my eyes
that we must...... FIGHT!

prejudice! our nation's biggest sickness
is taking place before our very eyes
i'm just as guilty as the next
and that i'll try to change
unfortunately, some aren't so easily persuaded
so we.... FIGHT! FIGHT HATRED!

this doesn't have to be a physical war- NO!
reverse the ignorance to which we were born
and yes, this may become a violent fight
and we may never win but no one can ever say we didn't try
so we..... FIGHT!

"Give"
 
There's a million things going around in my head
and i never really paid attention to what you said no
and now i wish that i would have said goodbye,
but its much too late, and all i do is give and all you do is take

you've gotta look before you leap
and take a good look at your so-called friends
yeah, thats the company you keep
you've got words coming at you from all directions
you gotta look before you leap
and take a good look at your so-called friends
yeah, thats the company you keep - they got the words, oh yeah

there's a lot of things that were never said
and if we'd grown up faster then i would have stood up
but-i should have cut you loose a long time ago,
but its much too late and all i do is give and all you do is take

well, there never was a time when you didn't try to lord me over,
never was there a time when i felt bad for you whenever you had the chance,
the way i see it you tried to screw me over
never was there a time when i wasn't there for you

they keep flying their flags
but they're never gonna understand

"Hope"
 
i'm trying to find my way home to you
i'm gonna wipe all your tears away
ignorance and hate are killing this world
so where's the change?
it'll happen someday

oh- i try not to give up hope
that one day things will get better
we're all gonna be together -
may not be sunny weather

don't give up hope

its never been a question of "this is alright"
'cause we're not gonna have it
all that i cna do is hope against hope
we'll set it right
'cause we're killing each other

oh- i try not to give up hope
that one day things will get better.
we're all gonna be together -
may not be sunny weather

don't give up hope

well i don't know what to say,
but you've turned
me inside and out
and i don't know what to do
but i'm young and so are you so,

oh- i try ;not to give up hope
that one day things wil get better
we're all gonna be together-
may not be sunny weather

don't give up hope

"Black & White World"
 
some persecute their brothers because of
the color of their skin, oh yeah
well that's wrong
we know it all too well
but i guess it doesn't matter to some

get it through your head
its a black and white world
but you're really know different from me
get it through your head
its a black and white world
but you're really no different from....

some walk around, never knowing
they only listen to what they've been told
they walk around blind for years
'cause they're only seeing
what they've been shown, yeah

well, colors are deceiving
but if you open your mind
to see whats right
wipe the anger from your eyes
and take a look you'll find

"Numbers"
 
Typewriters bang,
everyday it is the same fact is
these people are going insane
they got sad eyes, no reply
they've been doing this shit all day
and they don't know why

they don't know the way
that's probably why they're going insane
they can't think with all those fuckin

numbers-
there's too much on the line for numbers-
there's too much emphasis on numbers-
there's too much on the line for numbers-
there's too much emphasis on
go!

machine goes ping, telephone rings
yeah all his life
he's been doing the same thing
got sad eyes, no reply
i've been doing thi shit all day
and i don't know why

they don't know the way
thats probaly why they're going insane
they can't think with all those fuckin

numbers
there's too much on the line for numbers
there's too much emphasis on numbers
there's too much on the line for numbers
there's too much emphasis on
go!
stop!

"High Society"
 
You took me home and you spent a half an hour on the phone
you kept me waiting for such a long time LONG TIME!
the things you say to try to make me think that you had been around
you'd like to think that you had been down

i never can find the words to tell you
what i really think about your
lies, lies, lies,
i never can find the words to tell you

you talk about high society
when life is really low you see
not high, high, high

why do you do the things you do to me?
i don't know but i think you've got it in for me
why do you do the things you do to me?
i don't know but i think you've got it in for me

said "we're in love"
and you wanted to take me to the country club
all i could think that "that would be sad"
said "that's okay," and i had to tell you,
"maybe some other day i'd really like to meet your new dad"

[Chorus]

why do you do the things you do to me
i don't know, but i think you've got it in for me
why do you do the things that you do to me
i don't know, but i think you've got it in for me

I never can find the words to tell you

"Pins & Needles"
 
how come! every time it seems that
you make up your mind
you change it every time
i'm sorry! if what i say offends you
it seems that's nothing new
nothing new at all

next time i'll try to remember
to walk on pins and needles
when i'm around you
maybe next time there will be a better way
maybe there won't even be a next time
maybe you should call me
when you're over it

how come! it seems to me that
you always have to be the center of attention
next time! you feel the need
to take out your frustration
then don't bother
bother calling me

next time i'll try to remember
to walk on pins and needles
when i'm around you
maybe next time there will be a better way
maybe there won't even be a next time
maybe you should call me
when you're over it

"Confused"
 
skyscraper so call said
they're choking out the sun
and we're all so paranoid of everyone
there's no trust, no love
no future for mankind
if this life's about getting ahead
i'll just stay behind
poisoned clouds raining down from above
don't know what we're thinking
in a life there's no love
let's start a war for financial stability
this world has become our graveyard
and still we can't see
politicians reigning down from above
don't know what we're thinkin
in a life there's no love
let's start a war for financial stability
this world has become our graveyard
and still we can't see
what do we learn? to kill better
what do we learn? to kill better
what do we learn? to kill better
what do we learn? 1-2-3 WAR!
learn from history to kill better
(times 3)
disconnected since birth
success is weighed by your worth
what is economics?
its the power and who has got it
words i don't understand
progress means to rape the land
really does history teach?
circles, cycles, leach

"D.D.T."
 
destroy the world without a thought
destroy our lives with your bug bombs
in our food and in our blood
chemical death to the corporate slut

pollute the earth with pesticides like ddt
money, power, profit,
gain is all you CAN SEE
everyone pays when we take that route
dirty water, overcrowded
it's time to take a time out

keep your head
use your voice
speak your mind
you've got a choice
if no one cares
then nothing gets done
if no one speaks
what's done is done

pollute the earth with pesticides like ddt
money, power, profit,
gain is all you CAN SEE
everyone pays when we take that route
dirty water, overcrowded
it's time to take a time out

destroy our world!
destroy our world!
destroy our world!
destroy our world!
destroy our world!
destroy our world!
destroy our world!
we destroy our world!!

"Step One"
 
compassion is at a stand still
desensitized this day, never know
if we will make a change this way
i'm gonna try this time
can you try this time?
we're gonna try this time
don't wanna cry this time

the factories down the river
they illuminate the sky
homeless people shiver
profit is the reason why
you try to fight the symptoms
but you don't fight
the disease
in some sense, you've done something
but it is you conscience
that you please

progress, greed, their war machines
you've done
i've done
we've done nothing

so desperate to say something
but it's all just empty talk
talk and talk but do nothing
while resources they exhaust
poisoned air, polluted seas
cancered bodies, burning trees
sometimes i don't understand
war, death, disease, famine

progress, greed, their war machines
you've done
i've done
we've done nothing
progress, make way, make way for
progress, make way, make way for
progress
progress-greed!
