Prong - Beg To Differ lyrics



Tracks



01. For Dear Life

The flag of free enterprise, fronts as you fend
In the battlefield of bureaucracy, the trenches you shall tend
In these days of adversity, the hassle never ends
The nemesis of fortitude, holds a gun to your head!
On your knees! Kneel! Say your prayers!

For dear life! For dear life!
For dear life! For dear life!
You're holding on for dear life!

Show some humility to the powers that be
A gesture of mortality - your blind liberty
On your knees! Kneel! Say your prayers!

For dear life! For dear life!
For dear life! For dear life!
You're holding on for dear life!

Lie. For dear life.

02. Steady Decline

You choose a path
Close to collapse
Stretched to the limit
Falling apart
The light turns back
Where you choose to pass
Finally into oblivion
Steady decline

A quirk of fate
Can't stop this wait
But it took
A quirk of fate
To ignite the spark
Innocence and youth
Youth and innocence
Takes so little
To tear it apart
Tear it apart

Steady decline

Witness to the crime

03. Beg To Differ

You make the right moves, I beg to differ
Rather be a fool and see things clearer
You found a quick way to fill your pocket
That's the way in a world that's lost it
To fall in line
Its meaningless, mindlessness. I beg to differ

Disharmony amongst all our brothers
That's okay, be true to our grudges
No desire to walk beside you
Nothing positive when forced upon you
(So fall in line) Just fall in line
Its meaningless, mindlessness. I beg to differ

04. Lost And Found

Exposing all the frauds, those heroes for a cause
They're holding some key, confusing identities

The lost and found
Lost in a crowd
Look what they've found

They're faking in the buck. Purveyors of so much luck
Upholding a true scope: Flag waving ego

The lost and found
Lost in a crowd
Look what they've found

The lost and found!

05. Your Fear

His holy misunderstood
Miscredited, misconstrued
This holy roll of the dice
Take your chances
Hold on tight
Silence the silent
Confuse the confused
Confusion runs rampant
On a ship of fools
The clock is ticking
This sacred joke
Left without a reason
Till reason takes hold
Surrender your fear
Crawl into the flame

His holy unconsciousness
Endless discussion
Of our uselessness
Alive and kicking
This sacred joke
Left without a reason
Till reason takes hold

Surrender your fear
Crawl into the flame

06. Take It In Hand

Watch out! The part you play is a cop-out
Shut out! Authority's been shut down
Clamped down! Conditioned so that you're held down
Chill out let rule again to lash out

Take it in hand, go for the throat
Shit hits the fan, you're at the end of the rope

Hands down! Sudden order wins out
Lose out! A crazed attack will come 'round
Sit down and think about your next round
Bail out you're seriously in doubt!

Take it in hand, go for the throat
Shit hits the fan, you're at the end of the rope
Take it in hand, it's beyond hope
The smoke will clear, but the pain won't

Beneath the shell
In the temples your god
All alone
At one at once the truth emerged
Now there's none

07. Intermenstrual, D.S.B.

[Instrumental]

08. Right To Nothing

Cold suns, lowering highs. Accents on the deprived
Solvency. Well, it hurts like a bitch
Close shave, you may have grown rich

Blast off, waiting on line. Sales pitch makes up your mind

You got the right to nothing
The right to nothingness
Right to something
The right to nothingness

Well, all of your goals and what you've become -
Surrender now! You're the satisfied one

You got the right to nothing
The right to nothingness
Right to something
The right to nothingness

09. Prime Cut

Shake the slab of flesh, taunting for a fetch,
Time to ring the chime
Wet the appetite, teeth are grinding tight,
Reinforcing life
Drooling down the sides, eyes are bulging wide
Yes the price is right
The cut is very tough, gristles good enough
They all need a bite

No tolling of the bell, just the one to hell
There they'll all know
Thimbleful to chance, pay the luxury tax
Do not pass go
Try and bring the beef, see what is to keep
Not a pretty sight
The cut is very tough, you bit the big bluff
Take another bite

10. Just The Same

The retreads on the go
Thought it was a hoax
But looked around and saw it ready to again explode
When will it go away?
Too bad it's here to stay
Recycled, new improved, jump on it and get safe!
They like it shallow, they like it fake
Like it borrowed
Like it narrow, like their brain
They're gonna swallow
Just the same

Under the guise of late, for those born too late
A concept of benefacting a culture in a needy state
So what if it's been used, as long as no one sues
Just rehash and trash it for the fools to use and get safe!

They like it shallow, they like it fake
Like it borrowed
Like it narrow, like their brain
They're gonna swallow
Just the same

Genres over sold, sampled and stole
Rediscovered themes so poorly over told
The wagons on the road, worn out thought abode
Tired style lost now finds a new home
