Born Wrong - Burn a Debt
01:53

Company is restructuring
Landlord, he wants his rent
Collection agency is at your door
You went from working
to just (plain, dirt, fucking) poor
Cash register is open
Sub machine gun is loaded
This is your fucking system
that I have to adhere to?
Oh no I'm here to.... burn a debt
The poverty industry
Every fucking day.
What the fuck do you need now?
We run your fucking rat race
to the ground
Now you wanna take it all
This is your fucking system
I have to adhere to?
Burning... burn a debt.

Don’t expect me to follow you through
the vague and mindless swarm
Rather light a ballot on fire.
Maybe that will keep us warm
First past the post
for another set of empty promises
Lining fucking pockets
of a bunch of simpletons
You think they’ve got the answers.
They don’t have a fucking thing
I can’t wait to be the one who says
“I fucking told you so”
Satisfaction with our new masters
You think you’ve got a fucking
option but its deception.
You think they’re a new clear voice
you better think again
You are the target of their market
a niche catchment
Congratulations
you’re a numbskull piece of shit

A few more words, another enemy
It don’t mean shit to me
Nothings going to change
I’ve heard it all before
An act that I perform
Going through the motions
You’ve done it all before
You sound like another enemy
Stripped away, I was great,
I’ve done it all
It was then, fuck right now,
I know how.
Going through the motions
I’ve heard it all before
You sound like another enemy
Going through the motions
You’ve done it all before
You sound like another enemy
Another enemy.

From an intermediary
uttering visions at your wounds
To a snake oil imam
blessing warehouses of poultry
While the continent he prays for
withers away. The price decay.
From a people’s fable of escaping
the tragedy of repression
To the slaughter of
another desert enemy
Facade of their progress
“concentration” of their fate…
Am I right?
Finally a mosaic of them all
With the power
and the price tag without the fall
And a sprinkle of elusiveness…
oh yes… but wait then…
Everybody screams ‘Burn the book
and bury the weak.’

Gone are the hordes, the glorious shitheads
Who knows what’s scribbled on notebooks today?
If the rebellion’s alive, this is not their sound
The moment’s passed, we’ve been replaced
Like the Elks the alumni still gather
in uniform, ritual in tact
Throats hoarse, fingers burnt
from carrying the torch for too long
We’re old, we’re self-aware
And the kids don’t care
Still passionately aware
And the kids don’t care
Are we a traveling circus coming to town?
A nostalgia trip for grown-up bad seeds?
It’s supposed to be a beacon of dissent
And they might read about it on their Twitter feeds
Where’s the gnashing of teeth and all the bruises?
The flyers, pulled beer and all the shitty bands?
We can only give blood for long
Before someone re-writes the protest song
This will never chart or hang in a gallery
It’s stolen art that pays no one’s salary
And that’s fucking fine

Kleins96 - Eucharist
03:25

I swear that I’m gonna win this time
No more second place to
fucking half-wits past their prime
My throat tears,
I scream but no one hears
They’re blinded by some fable
Reason falls upon deaf ears
You won’t find what you’re looking for
You won’t find truth in white-washed folklore
And I’m not listening
as you can see me walking out the door
The blank stare,
you’re an empty fucking shell
Confused by what to fear,
your vengeful god or a burning hell
It’s not fair, you’re another casualty
Chalk full of Christian values,
your forced imposed morality
Body and blood
The voluntary heist of the souls
who dine on Jesus Christ
You wont find truth inside
some book you read
There is no truth.
Your god is dead.

Kleins96 - Yafa

These words aren't light,
or taken for granted
the way a million miles of sky
above the highway is for me
These tanks, these troops
are on your Visa bill
Zion, incorporated with impunity
We are the guards, the architects
Do you know the blood
that’s on your hands?
Go to sleep, and dream of terror
of a nation of savages cutting throats
of a promised land and a chosen few
and battle lines drawn
across the evening news
Now wake up and try to breathe
It's 40 degrees and the army
didn't turn on the water this week
The prison cell you may be born or die in
is manifest of an entire globe
screaming fuck you
APARTHEID
Where do we go from here?
This is right now
It's not good or evil, black or white
Can't dance around basic human rights
Fuck the border, try crossing the street
There is no god that
would not let them free
How can you sleep when your
beds are burning?
I refuse to let you ignore this
"Occupation" is not a protest rally
it's a real living hell

Kleins96 - The Rot
02:49

One day let me throw it away
All that’s left is rot and decay
I’d pay to see it put in its place
You have to dig up the roots
and poison its base
What’s left in this world
to make me feel free?
Is it the warmth of my gun
or the shade of a tree?
Tell me why in the fuck do I
want more than enough?
When it feels so good
just to laugh and to love
Why does change
make us feel so strange?
Especially when it is meant
to ease the pain
of a day that we fill with mistakes
Accepting the lies
and praising the fake
Take a step back
and allow me to breathe
Fill my lungs up with scum
and my blood with disease
Feeling the grit flowing
straight to my heart
There’s no need for an end
because we’re fucked from the start
