Five Eyes 01:37
Cryptic, slaughtering Butcher’s apron Five eyes are watching me Five eyes are watching you Nowhere left to run to Nothing left for me to do I’ve got five eyes watching me You’ve got five eyes watching you Nowhere left to run from them Nothing left for us to do Privacy is obsolete Total surveillance Viral contagion Viral contagion Colonial consolidation I’ve got five eyes watching me You’ve got five eyes watching you Nowhere left for me to run Nothing left for us to do Five eyes have five flags The pentacle All talk is blasphemy All talk is heresy Spiritual leprosy

The seeds of our destruction were planted by Thatcher When crime was crime was crime The cowboy’s in the whitehouse Our dreams are in the doghouse The shit-eating grin in Kirribilli doesn’t want to see you living pretty Don’t believe the hype Or you’ll be renting all your life Don’t believe the hype Or you’ll be working all your life Our blindness to ourselves The stupid fucking hard-sell Careerists, electioneers They make bastard sons of all of us All of us Cold hard currency Scott’s not important Old braggarts win The grins are wearing thin Our honest malcontent Our wife has smashed his chains Madonna? Madonna? Madonna? Madonna? All bets are in The doggies ring goes turbo We’ll live in sin The clothes upon our backs will wear so thin That all our skin is peeping through the cracks In the fucking pavement 
Now you’re profiting from misery 
Don’t believe the hype Don’t believe the lies Don’t believe the hype Don’t believe their lies

Our weakness coloured in Our poison coloured in I stuck you there I’ll follow you there This time I’ll find the rest of it Alright now, try your best at it Sit down and pay attention! Sit down, don’t make a mess of it! I’m swimming with the big fish This day doesn’t mean shit This year doesn’t mean shit When’s it ever gonna mean shit? I’m swimming with the big fish I’m swimming in the carnival tank I think the water might not be clean The world outside me looks green I’m starred I’m harmed The start The start

Vicious 02:18
I see your sorry two faces you wear all of the time Your lies will suffer you Your lies will suffer you But New York cares It’s up to me now It’s up to me now The thought of killing you The thought of cutting off your head As you would do to me As you would do to me All of these broken dreams All of these broken bodies All of these hopeless means The will to dominate A target comfortably rests on your chest in red light Stolen harm from me
 Stolen harm from me New York cares It’s up to me now It’s up to me now The thought of dying like you A martyr dead before old age Flayed, drawn and quartered knave Put down by vengeance
5.
I won’t surrender now tonight God has chosen me to fight I won’t surrender Bullets rip in the flesh Bullets rip through the story The glow in the night Bullets rip through the glory I won’t surrender now tonight God has chosen me to fight I won’t surrender Bullets rip in the night Bullets rip through the flesh All the blood in the story Bullets rip through the glory And I’m in the night now Blood in the night now And they caught me off my guard Out of my body they pull me An unmarked burial Summary execution And I am dying in infinity All at once I am in the arms of the world again In a distant land, faceless and adrift Dying in infinity War never-ending
