good riddance - dry season
Pitch the horror to focus bringing the world to its knees
Behold the scourge of the centuries
Predict a virulent outcome prepare a venomous lie
For dominance the innocent will die
And I fell like it's a vision
God's will for the now and hereafter
I can hear it through the ages
Like a runnel infected with laughter
Just resentment unabated
To lay the prize at the feet of the profane
For the courage to endure
Set upon the populace of a secular state
To restore the caliphate
Reduce the west to weakness
without the stomach for war
Mobilize to arm the poor
Like prehistoric creatures
Predatory ideologues deployed
To sew a nihilistic end
Exsanguinate the barren fields
Burn all the infidels as bait
To separate the chosen from the chaff
See the prophet as risen
Fear the wrath of his vision
An infidel or a poet
good riddance - decoy
well i thought we'd arrived at a track in our history where we'd fought every endeavor we could fight yes i shuddered with grim preconception as the cannonade erupted into light and my occular gaze lay dehiscient it seemed that i could not look away and every god fearing son was a patriot and victory remained elusive just one bomb away oh yeah one bomb away and they say that custom will reconcile people to any atrocity-(goerge bernard shaw) from dachau to belfast to bagdad from sea to shining sea and they say when facism crosses our borders it'll be wrapped up in a shroud glowing red, white and blue and our rectors they say will explain it away as the ravings of a passionate few well i happened to visit a slaughterhouse where cessation's redolence rose to the sky and proptious creatures await a most virulent fate which their pacific demeanor belies it was a place i don't care to return to whose chambers compassions would not recognize where slaughter is sanctification and humanity covers it's eyes covers it's eyes my country 'tis of thee sweet land of liberty of thee i sing of thee i sing i don't want to be a patriot if being a patriot means being like you
good riddance - eighteen seconds
good riddance - last believer
Do you believe?
We can make a change
Will you believe tomorrow?
Or will it slip away?
Black and white
We're all the fucking same
Demographics
Keep up caught up in the game
Violence
What the fuck do you expect?
The cause has left us
Leaving nothing but effect
The laughter has subsided
Leaving hatred in it's wake
In a nation trusting no one
Sworn to bend but never break
America is burning
Look around it's in the air
But I'll be the last believer
Just as long as I still care
And I still care
What's going on?
What's happened now?
Show me a purpose
Please show me how
Desperate times
One thousand symptoms
One disease
Government tradition
And genocidal policies
Don't look back
Don't wait until history repeats
No, no more lies
No more bodies in the streets
good riddance - mother superior
how ready are you
to die for an ideal
what's the connection,
between a lie and what is real
Mother Superior
I've got an angel on my back
I'm one of the righteous
and I'm never going back
no, no, no
I'm never going back
who's that shining forth-right man
about to die behind me
he's waiting for the portress to
send me head over heels
who's that black-heart four-star
general walking up the hill
to ask the liberals nicely
to help, finance his private war
and if I didn't trust that man
when he puts the rifle in your hand
sings you songs of pageantry and grace
and how much you want to bet
on the other side
there's a man with twice your pride
and they put you feet first in an
unmarked grave
there was a time in our history
when we justified by saying
our destinies manifest
now imperialism is the mantra
of the west
see that trigger happy
college boys, love a chance
to try out their new toys
then they wash the city streets
clean, with the blood of infidels
as the fabric of democracy
left tattered in the dust
we could put, another greedy man
into the dictatorial
puppet-show, now
tell me, who do you trust
who do you trust
and an abominable hemisphere
would perpetuate a heart-whole
atmosphere
call it a threat
to national security
call it just a poor-sick face
one more place,
to export cheap labor
hail the monarchy
hail the oligarchy
a potential for anarchy
and we pat ourselves
firmly on the back
good riddance - regret
Everything that isn't from my time and place
Just fades away
And I know it's only my perception
That clouds the things I want to hear you say
All the years of desperation
I'm like a child without the sense to dream
About a life of foolish pride
How can I illustrate
Annihilate it now
This is everything I am
But is it all you've ever grown to see inside
Like a broken mirror for my pride
And there's an emptiness I feel
And there's a silence to my dreams
These painful reveries
Still punctuate those tragedies I've seen
Nobody promised that I'd be down
It's like the savage side we've found
Conventions we've agreed to follow
Defined by safe obscurity
Applications balking at protest
We sequester and words divide
Would I resign if I broke your silence
And trampled myself down inside
And if I hold you in my dreams
How will I recognize your face
And your silent discontent
And will my heroes find me there
In another time and place
Will I regret the time we spent?
And all the symbols we've erased
Or the words we never traced
good riddance - this is the light
i had a dream that i woke up in a sweat another self-inflicted nightmare i will not forget i felt a light i saw you shine something's wrong i felt that tremor in my soul that memory one last time this is the light this is the way where the darkness keeps the sun away this is the light this is the way this stream of memories that carries me away i know my head at least i thought i did i'd take a silver bullet through my soul if i could give this phantom friend this runaway train of thought somebody's been following me through every trial i've ever sought never sought these tears leave scars as they run down my face i'm changing i'm leaving now i'm leaving for a better place
good riddance - glory glory
Permission to speak freely and return
To revisit my condition and forget what I have learned
A paradigm of inefficiency
Can't be mass-produced and given out for free
Don't bend the rules
Don't make a scene
Just to sanctify divinity
And curse those in between
Brains in reverse
Conflating ignorance and glorified hypocrisy
And then proclaim that we are free
For vindication
Justification
We're not wanted here
Misplacing nervous rapture
There's no relief inside
Gestating fantasy and yet
Do not release authority
good riddance - queen john
you spoke your piece with a trembling voice then turned away i m looking for reasons why do i always act this way running on self pity i was only thinking about myself you said i never considered you so you need some time alone now you re upstairs and i m going down and i know that it s my fault you re not around so this is loss how sweet regret just don t give up on me yet i know that i ve hurt you i made it harder than it has to be if i wasn t so selfish would you want to stay with me under any circumstance could you give me one more chance i want so much to turn it around but this old behavior brings me down now you re upstairs and i m going down and i know that it s my fault you re not around so this is loss how sweet regret just don t give up on me yet on me yet with an aching chest and a two ton heart i retrace my steps trying to find my part regretting words words that came out wrong at the second cup at the corner of queen and john queen and john.
good riddance - 30 day wonder
the distance between the things you say
And your actions tell me everything
You never could so I'll keep my grip and stay away
Why should I waste my time?
When you can't tell wrong from right?
If you had your way I'd embrace convention
And lose my will to fight
Distractions keep me off my game
And I can't help but wonder if it was you
Would you still feel the fucking same?
Closed out shut down it doesn't matter to me
Because I've got the truth
Sick lies close ties your cheap talk ain't enough
Because we've got the truth
I've got no time for narrow minds just playing the role
You played the role
Played out your self doubt is going to force you to fold
Because you got caught up playing the role
good riddance - a credit to his gender
how are you feeling? how does someone like you elude the moral quarantine does your repression only server the greater lie as you abuse and objectify all the emotions you defeat you've got the world at your feet because you think you've silenced all the critics of your misogynistic lies but when you wake up from your reveries you'd better realize you're a model of virility a specimen divine as you deflower you empower the false ego trapped inside and by the virtue of your "conquests" you've endeared yourself to those who you hold in high esteem you think you've silenced all the critics of your misogynistic lies but when you wake up from your reveries you'd better realize you've got to rectify that attitude you're a hopeless case and now you're too late you call her a whore she's just the same as you though she could never be that shallow but you just take what you can get and you throw the rest away another notch in your belt another score another lay you're taking she's giving you're losing you think you're winning you're time is running out now it doesn't feel the same
good riddance - a time and a place
I've played off devastation
I told you it didn't mean that much
but this world keeps on closing in on me
whenever we fall out of touch
it's those subtle differences
keeping up appearances for what?
it gets the best of me
sometimes it's better not to know
I've tried so many times
to tell you how I feel
but forever's such a long, long time
and this apology's for real
now there's a time and a place for saving face
there's a time when it's all too much
through the hardest times
through the thick and thin I've always played it off
and kept my grin
but this life's too short to waste on pride
this is the time and the place for me
to clean up my side
good riddance - after the nightmare
like rats from the wreckage
we patrol the decay
through the ash and the darkness
the scavengers pillage what's wasted away
and power corrodes and compromises
the hands once held so high
the lies the vain plead for their very lives
no sunlight or shadow
just the rotting remains
of the clergy pariah
and the millions of sinners shackled in chains
drowning in blood and holy water
the bombs turned the battlefield to dust
so what's left of the world
to divide and to dominate
and rape and defile
or oppress and discriminate
it's all over did anyone get their way
good riddance - all fall down
Give me sensibilities without ambition
give me accolades i've done nothing to collect
then you spread your plague of ignorance across the planetearth
robbing us of any self respect
it's a plan these are ways
to a person we all fall down
unless we rise as one and resist the right
when we cease to question war as entertainment
and christian battle hymns will keep us pacified
you can tie a yellow ribbon 'round your cock boy
you're just along for the ride
it's a plan these are ways
to a person we all fall down
unless we rise as one and resist the right
we all fall down!
we all fall down!
we all fall down!
we all fall down!
we all fall down
we all fall down
we all fall down
we all fall down!
the highbrow poxy liberals all fall down
the harbingers of eden all fall down
the corporate rock religion all falls down
the liar in the office he falls down
it's a plan these are ways
to a person we all fall down
unless we rise as one and resist the...
resis the right!
