This home ain't cold, this hate is just desolate We're made of broken machines who manufacture regret I'm automatic outside and obsolete from within My whole life has felt like nothing more than worthless unfulfilled useless empty possessions Covered in sores, and slicked down with gasoline The only way you can live is in this broken routine They've predetermined your lives to keep you preoccupied The kids are all watered down now and they're ready to die Teenage Hate Machine Teenage Hate Machine Politicians and liars, with plastic smiles and Corvettes And then they deformed their youth and neutralize all their threats Their wheelchairs sitting on top, within their obsessive grip Now the future's anemic, we've become debilitated kings to this world of shit Make revolution commercial, but you can't purchase self-worth Our gods are sick engineers, creations thrive in the dirt You feel guilty and dirty, but you'll never get clean Hate it all more - But you're too busy doing nothing, being nothing, Hate Machine Teenage Hate Machine Buy up their solutions, after all you're so broke Swallowing lies, pills of artificial hope I've seen you over and over, one million times like a fly Everybody's fucking famous, consumed by that shit and eating up the rest of their lies In our own minds, we don't feed the machine But your Pseudo-Fame-Narcissus feels just like Vaseline Lubricating their game, you blind your eyes on your own And it's for no one, it's for nothing, by tomorrow its all gone now, Teenage Hate Machine Teenage Hate Machine

He keeps his childhood in a bag He loves it oh so much it's fermenting He keeps his childhood in a bag He don't know that it's been decaying Me, come to me Me, come to me He always thinks that we're going back The future will never be what it used to He keeps on thinking that we'll turn back Someday we'll reach those days it will continue Me, come to me Me, come to me Me, come to me Me, come to me These days the whole world's gone so mad Won't think about not going back it's depressing Gods and kings all promise that, Reverting is the way we're evolving Me, come to me Me, come to me Me, come to me Me, come to me You see time, but your mind wont answer You hear life, but your body wont answer You feel gone, but the past wont answer Death wont answer Cash wont answer You see time, but your mind wont answer You hear life, but your body wont answer You feel gone, but the past wont answer Death wont answer Cash wont answer you He keeps his childhood in a bag He loves it oh so much it's fermenting He keeps his childhood in a bag He don't know that it's been decaying Me, come to me Me, come to me Me, come to me Me, come to me

Something 04:54
You are the one that makes me numb You are just above everyone You are the one who starts the wars You are machine and nothing more I am the one, I resist your head I'm now immune to all your threats I am the one without the gun I'm not the one, you've always won I'm not the one who's failing you I'm not the one, nothing to lose I'm not the one succumbed to fire I'm not the one made up of wires As if I needed any proof, You're a growing disease I know that I'm nothing new, I just hope I'm something You are the ones rejecting blame You are the ones you're all the same You are the one who's dead inside You've been sold out, monopolized You are the suit, superior You're what you wished you never were You've become all you're enemies Pay-grade's worth more than identity I am the hate you feel inside I am your past realized to life I'm pain, resentment, hate, and scorn I'm not the money or the whore I'm not the one who's failing you I'm not the one, nothing to lose I'm not the one succumbed to fire I'm not the one made up of wires There's nothing of worth left in you, just subhuman virus What ever happened to you, you just gave up trying As if I needed any proof, You're a growing disease I know that I'm nothing new, I just hope I'm something You don't feel the things you once felt Live on the corporate carousel You pawn yourself right to the top You loved the ones that you now rob You'll go right up like Icarus You'll fall and squirm in your own shit You survive on subordinance You feed on everyone's descent I am the one who's still right here I am the one seceded from fear I'll be all the things that you fought I'll be the one buried by god I'm not the one who's failing you I'm not the one, nothing to lose I'm not the one succumbed to fire I'm not the one made up of wires There's nothing of worth left in you, just a subhuman virus What ever happened to you, you just gave up trying As if I needed any proof, You're a growing disease I know that I'm nothing new, I just hope I'm something

You're just a walking ghost, its the past we see that you're imitating Now you're reflection is just someone that you know, its so dissociating You're the monster The divider You're the buyer The denier Your tears don't mean nothing 'til they get what they'll hear, this story stopped being tragic From all of the pain, and the hurt, through the years, it's all just lost its magic The way that the world is turning now, seems to go, you feel it's all unfulfilling If I can still remember back, then it shows, you all just stopped fucking dreaming And I try to make things right And I try to see, through your wires and your lies But I can't, there's no life in your eyes And we're not gonna break it They're always watching through their digital eyes, because you never stop paying It's such a cliche that it just don't sound right, our new gods are misbehaving You've always been against it but you're here, and now you find, you lend your head to false prophets You'll never get them to stay out of your mind, until you fill all their pockets You're the monster The divider You're the buyer The denier You may be of sand, but I'm made from broken glass, I've learned to see through their covers They'll sell you for nothing, knock you down on your ass, and scream "Die motherfucker" And I try to make things right And I try to see, through your wires and your lies But I can't, there's no life in your eyes And we're not gonna break it And I try to make things right And I try to see, through your wires and your lies But I can't, there's no life in your eyes And we're not gonna break it You're the monster The divider You're the buyer The denier And I try to make things right And I try to see, through your wires and your lies But I can't, there's no life in your eyes And we're not gonna break it I can try to make it right And I'm trying, and I'm trying, but your so far from life and it's all, it's all goodbyes And you're not gonna make it

I've become nothing more than cold ammunition Its just fission, its remission It gets lost in my vision I am dead from this world, there ain't no one left for me They just don't feel any more Hang those fuckers from their neckties Everybody wants the world to grow in ways that they will never know There's never a solution we just always feel the undertow Our trees are growing scared of us, I can't remember who to trust, our patience now is always rushed, they're waiting for us to combust Into flames, immolation's the new song of nations, complacence, they're growing impatient They want "change" and they want answers, but they don't have time to get them, they just want their revolution, and they'll buy it packaged from their masters Antihuman anatomy failed you You're buying prison from your fucking jailers Antihuman anatomy fails you Your buying prison from your fucking jailers We're all just waiting on the world to grow older, outgrow us, out show us, and pray there's some justice In the world, a better world, we wouldn't cry on the shoulders of megalomaniacs who harvest their own children for profit or prophecy Everybody wants the world to grow in ways that they will never know There's never a solution we just always feel the undertow Our trees are growing scared of us, I can't remember who to trust, our patience now is always rushed, they're waiting for us to combust In your hands, revelations, institutions made for revolutions that revolve into the dirt I'm scared, we're slaughtered, it might be tomorrow We're watered and ready to get eaten alive Antihuman anatomy failed you You're buying prison from your fucking jailers Antihuman anatomy fails you Your buying prison from your fucking jailers We're hypocritical and pseudo-symbolic, catatonic and atomic, our fears are unpatriotic I am damned, you're the faces of condemnation They'll build a better past, than a future I can't make Everybody wants the world to grow in ways that they will never know There's never a solution we just always feel the undertow Our trees are growing scared of us, I can't remember who to trust, our patience now is always rushed, they're waiting for us to combust We're all time sensitive and board-roomed right in to the motions, commotions, left to rot in the ocean of fear, and horror, can I afford tomorrow? Your content with contempt content just as long as it's outselling your morals Antihuman anatomy failed you You're buying prison from your fucking jailers Antihuman anatomy fails you Your buying prison from your fucking jailers

His body is carceral, incongruent and dissonant There's someone somewhere out there who doesn't know destruction is imminent Make a god for all your efforts, this superman knows more than you do Unoriginal in all your efforts and your new god looks exactly like you You've become pretentious in your unoriginality Just take this dying world and transform it into a permanent novelty Your digging up Midas, everything you destroy is turned to cash You're a modern Prometheus, decaying memories we have of the past The perfect obsession to fit all of our bitterness This depraved hero built in this world of nihilists And you're just so self-serving loving every word you've said This patchwork god you're building is cold and empty, looks so, feels so, Dead Dead Have you figured out the formula, or have you just been sold again? Can you figure out what we all need, then you can sell it, one more time to them What's the secret to authenticity, you can see underneath his cracked skin Got metal shoved under his body, he's hungry, in need of deprivation Did you gather up the right parts I can see it, and it's obvious it's nothing Stitch the past together again, you're building auto-corruption This isn't the god that you wanted, but here he is anyway You thought you knew better than the world, one validation and your morals are displaced The perfect obsession to fit all of our bitterness This depraved hero built in this world of nihilists And you're just so self-serving loving every word you've said This patchwork god you're building is cold and empty, looks so, feels so, Dead Dead Dead Your god's so Dead

Welcome my son Welcome to the machine Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been You've been in the pipeline Filling your time Provided with toys and Scouting for Boys You bought a guitar to punish your ma And you didn't like school You know you're nobody's fool So welcome to the machine So welcome to the machine Welcome my son Welcome to the machine What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream You dreamed of a big star He played a mean guitar He always ate in the Steak Bar He loved to drive in his Jaguar So welcome to the machine So welcome to the machine

Take It 04:36
Their sins are sanctuaries, and their profits never clean And they've come to take you over, and they love to eat your dreams And they've taken so much time from the ones who never thieve They hate you when its over cause they know you won't believe In a second you're suffocating, just a player in their game They want your all or nothing, and you're nothing to them And your future is all over, machines are here to stay Those corporate ones are coming, and they're coming to sell you away Their shells look clean and sober, but sober's never clean Keep trophies of their egos, there's bones of all your dreams Nothing walks forever, but you can't walk away Hold you down until it's over or until you wanna play Remorse is in regression and their feelings always fade They hate you when you smile so they take it, take it away Take it away Take it from me, the party's over, and we're taking all the blame They love to misdirect you, put rust inside your brain We're falling as the savior, as their falling into sleep They can't emulate whats fated, so they take it Take it from Me This isn't me It's only you Me This isn't me Only for you Me This isn't me Never for you Me This isn't me This isn't you Me This isn't me I'm not for you Me This isn't me This is only you Now the party's over, and we're taking all the blame They love to misdirect you, put rust inside your brain We're falling as the savior, as their falling into sleep They can't emulate whats fated, so they take it, take it from me, take it from me Take it from

Sterile 06:25
We know there's something rotten underneath the Kennedy's Blinded by lights, we don't care its just like we're all on TV Our sense of security is just growing now, it's growing now We're all so complacent and confident we shutdown, turn us on and shut them out Compiled of shallow validations, you're nothing more than a whore This world is hollow and sterile and I don't think I care anymore Commercial, bloodless, and phallic, obsessive and self absorbed This selfish fame is the only glamour that you ever fell for These streetlights are sterile and memories are artificial now Your buzzwords are soulless and meaningless, you run them into the ground We've become listless, libido-less, robotic shells, just robotic shells Vain, superficial, commercial this corporate hell, buy everything they sell Compiled of shallow validations, you're nothing more than a whore This world is hollow and sterile and I don't think I care anymore Commercial, bloodless, and phallic, obsessive and self absorbed This selfish fame is the only glamour that you ever fell for Blame the whole world for making me as cynical as you are There's nothing wrong with my character there's just some holes in my flaws I take off my skin and I'm wired straight to the core, right to the core I know I'm synthetic and I just don't feel anymore, I can't feel anymore Compiled of shallow validations, you're nothing more than a whore This world is hollow and sterile and I don't think I care anymore Commercial, bloodless, and phallic, obsessive and self absorbed This selfish fame is the only glamour that you ever fell for

I can't tell if my heart is there or beating Am I just like all of them, my mind is weakening Resist, but there's no cause for me tomorrow I've always needed to be someone hateful like you, hateful like you Feel, under my skin it's cold, it's vile Circuits live under my nails I know, this is final I'm part of the machine, a different number I always hoped you would build something better of me Someone better than me Death, I've given up must find some function Breath, never again, human corruption Blank, delete your past, it's just an error Somehow i know, feeling nothing was better than this Synthesized shit
12.
Malevolent 04:35
Inquisition, no admission, you hate the world and what I have become of it Never noticed such a motive, sitting at the top just like a hypocrite In your vision, television, look straight at me and God is standing in my place You're all infidels, I sold the rebels, what's left to sell anyway, anyway? Make you a martyr as I grow harder I'm feeding off your pain every time you lose We're all machines now, we got here somehow Like me, you'll give in to all the abuse I'm deciding, I'm not hiding, cause corporate medallions will keep me high The decision, the division, I'm your god and I ain't gonna fucking die I'm all encompassed, I make my justice, and you're my little bitch, there's no more pretend You feel it's over, there is no closure, this violent world just has one big violent end It's hardly breathing, there's no more dreaming The things that I say will come to me in time What's your long term plan, you're shaking my hand The victims of this hate are always on my mind Are you demolished, I want your promise, cause I'm your Mephistopheles of the betrayed I'm the igniter, the false provider, when I'm inside your head I want you so afraid I won't grow older, I'm the controller Make it to the top and fuck the consequence All I devour, I am power, you know this face, you feel my hate, Malevolent Never liked the things that I've become or what I've made of you Cause I've become the hypocrite, I hate myself, I always lose I became the machine and the user and the fucking tool It's done, I'm gonna smash myself, I know that I'm just broken too
13.
Retrograde 06:00
All emotion is in retrograde, and we're buying the things that we don't believe in Amalgamated of hate and obsession to succeed, and yet they sold you through vague descriptions I feel cheated and worthless, so much more than before, my value's not monetary If you knew of the monsters you'd become, do you think it would have made a difference to how you hate yourselves All you wanted was see me break and fall into little parts And I do it all for you All you wanted was to reduce me into a million scars And I'm never coming true I'm introduced to the game after you've already won but we're American and free A bruised admission of guilt and broke confessions are all that they've ever been asking from me You took your seeds of the earth, to plant a fiery tree, that you knew wouldn't grow peace Put your hand on your heart because you're guilty with sin, you better sell your self destruction while you're still worth something All you wanted was see me break and fall into little parts And I do it all for you All you wanted was to reduce me into a million scars And I'm never coming true All you wanted was see me break and fall into little parts And I do it all for you All you wanted was to reduce me into a million scars And I'm never coming true And all you wanted was to see me break myself and just fall apart And I do it all for you The product that you hate is the same one that you were right from the start And you never even knew
