"Shithawks"
Lyrics by: Tim Doering
I heard you say that we need a new plague
Too many people and we're running out of room
If only somehow you could wipe out the masses
Of people you feel do not meet your standards
But there is something I've noticed about your standards
They never seem to include you!
That isn't fair, you should insert yourself
Into the equation of who to be culled
You should go first and show us how it's done
If your cause is worthy you should be first in line
If that's how you feel you should lead by example
Lead by example and take your own life
You contribute to the very same problem
A fact that you seem oblivious of
You'd gladly volunteer the demise of strangers
With no self-realization that you're one in the same
You're just another piece of shit on the shit pile
Another drop of filth in the cesspool
Another parasite sucking dry
The very same planet that you want to cleanse
You should go first and show us how it's done
If your cause is worthy you should be first in line
If that's how you feel you should lead by example
Lead by example and take your own life
You should go first and show us how it's done
If your cause is worthy you should be first in line
If that's how you feel you should lead by example
Lead by example and take your own life
Think of the press if you'd just take that leap!
Think of the press!
Think of the press if you'd just take that leap!
Think of the press!
You should go first and show us how it's done
If your cause is worthy you should be first in line
If that's how you feel you should lead by example
Lead by example and take your own life
You should go first and show us how it's done
If you're so quick to volunteer the rest of us to die
If that's how you feel, you should go fuck yourself
You should go fuck yourself, you should fuck off and die!

You Selfish Fuck

"You Selfish Fuck"
Lyrics by: Tim Doering
You want to drug test people on welfare
Despite the fact that any tax money we'd save
Would be more than offset by the cost of the drug tests
But you don't care, you just want to punish the poor
And you're against universal healthcare
'Cause God forbid you would have to wait in line at
The doctor's office behind a single mother on food stamps
'Cause you don't care, you just want to punish the poor
You subscribe to a "fuck you, I've got mine" philosophy
"Life's not fair" but you've got yours!
I'm sure you've earned everything you've been given
You'll never need anybody's assistance
As if you could never lose your job
Or wake up with cancer (What if you got cancer?)
You better look in their shopping carts to
Police the purchases of the people on food stamps
To make sure they don't buy anything decadent
'Cause you don't care, you just want to punish the poor
You'll ignore statistics showing
The majority of people on government programs
Are elderly, disabled, or actually working
'Cause you don't care, you just want to punish the poor
You subscribe to a "fuck you, I've got mine" philosophy
"Life's not fair" but you've got yours!
I'm sure you've earned everything you've been given
You'll never need anybody's assistance
As if you could never lose your job
Or wake up with cancer (What if you got cancer?)
We aren't trying to make winners losers
Or take away any of your accomplishments
We're just trying to level the playing field
In hopes that one day it will even the score
But you selfish fucks don't want to hear that
There is enough wealth to go around
'Cause you would rather hoard it all to yourself
And continue to punish the poor
You subscribe to a "fuck you, I've got mine" philosophy
"Life's not fair" but you've got yours!
I'm sure you've earned everything you've been given
You'll never need anybody's assistance
As if you could never lose your job
Or wake up with cancer (What if you got cancer?)

"Nailbiters"
Lyrics by: Tim Doering
The plant is closing...
And everyone's getting laid off
The team is relocating...
There's nobody left to root for
There's nobody left to love except you
There's nobody left to love except you
It's election season...
And everyone's lying to me
Everyone...
They're all lying to me
We've accomplished so much...
And yet we still have so far to go
And it could so easily all be undone...
I have no one left to trust except me
I have no one left to trust except me
This world this world it makes me want to bite my nails
This world this world it makes me want to bite my nails
Down to the skin, down to the bone if all else fails
This world this world it makes me want to bite my nails
And nobody's listening...
They're just waiting for their turn to speak
I'm guilty of this too...
But so are all of you
This world this world it makes me want to bite my nails
This world this world it makes me want to bite my nails
Down to the skin, down to the bone if all else fails
This world this world it makes me want to bite my nails

"Thoughtful"
Lyrics by: Tim Doering
If I don't wear studs, so fucking what?
Remind me again what the rules are for punk
Hipster elitists are checking their lists
They follow the fashion but claim anarchist
I don't know what I expected
Guess I gave you too much credit
I thought we were better than this
Shit out of luck, don't give a fuck
I don't really hate you, I just think you suck
You're full of shit and I'm sick of it
You can't fire me, I fucking quit
I don't know what I expected
Guess I gave you too much credit
I thought we were better than this
You are a fraud whose logic is flawed
Your condescension's the last fucking straw
You're full of shit and I'm sick of it
You can't fire me, I fucking quit
Your opinions are worthless
And I didn't deserve this
I thought we were better than this

Where's My Riot
03:51

For once the news affects us, people cry for justice
Amid the protests, dodging rubber bullets and tear gas
For once we could unite against a common foe
If only there weren't so many busy changing the channel
They shit-talk those who make a difference
They don't get it, they don't get it at all
Sitting in their ivory towers while the summer streets are bleeding
Everyone's asking where's my riot
Everyone's asking where's my riot at
They're all crying "Why is your cause more important than my cause?"
Everyone's asking where's my riot
If only we could focus, the things we could accomplish
Cameras hold the answers, videos don't lie
We should be asking questions, we should be asking why
Yet so many ask why don't just get over it
They shit-talk those who make a difference
They don't get it, they don't get it at all
Sitting safe behind a keyboard, all the kids are tweeting
Everyone's asking where's my riot
Everyone's asking where's my riot at
They're all crying "Why is your cause more important than my cause?"
Everyone's asking where's my riot
Everyone's asking where's my riot
Everyone's asking where's my riot at
They're all crying "Why is your cause more important than my cause?"
Everyone's asking where's my riot
Everyone's asking where's my riot
Everyone's asking where's my riot at
They're all crying "Why is your cause more important than my cause?"
Everyone's asking where's my riot
