1.
Liberation 01:03
Flags on their uniforms, guns in their hands Liberation again Spreading our democracy across foreign lands Liberation again US military shower the skies While western media propagate their lies “We’ll free you from oppression”; a callous disguise Then laugh in your face as you slowly die They’ll disregard the war crimes that they commit They’ll bomb you to oblivion until you submit Prepare yourselves, all women and men, For liberation again
2.
What do you do when they step out of the pack? When the proletariats start to push back? A man on the inside, subvert and diffuse Controlled opposition; a powerful tool ‘Divide and conquer’ is the name of the game Divide and conquer, lie and defame Divide and conquer, spending every hour Subverting the masses in their quest for power Brother against brother, man against man A house divided cannot stand Throwing red herrings to divert them away; To keep the working classes at bay Two go in, one comes out Inciting the hate with the rhetoric they spout "To protect our race we must weed out the weak Wipe the degenerates off of our streets"

Disturbing the peace Another youth deceased Shot by the police The tensions increase Anyone in your way Is nothing more than dead meat And then you wonder why There's rioting in the streets Red, blue, white, abuse of power Where's our rights? Abuse of power Ignore our plight, abuse of power Got to fight the abuse of power They think we don't belong They don't care what's right or wrong Abuse has gone on far too long Here's what I gotta say We're millions fuckin strong And we all sing the same song Their judgement day will come along Their game, we will not play
4.
Vice Grip 00:28
Self-destruction is the aim Drink and snort to numb the pain Locked in a vice grip Down it, drown it, high all day But it never goes away Lost in your daze, you fall to the floor And then you knock back some A witless, helpless substance slave Sniffing your way to an early grave Scumbag dealers profit off your bad trips You'll forever remain locked in a vice grip
5.
Annihilate 02:21
Intolerance, fanaticism; we seek to annihilate All forms of discriminatory violence, bigotry and hate Bias and oppression, all authoritarian states Prejudice and chauvinism; we seek to annihilate We all need freedom, fairness and equality We all need abolishment of unjust hierarchy Fuck your nationality And your bullshit mentality We need to be free
6.
Normality 02:02
Is this reality? Normality? Grip on the populus is far too strong Mindless acceptance of what is wrong Persistent feeling of futility “It’s just the modern world; normality” Despondent faces on neglected streets They’re starving, they’re hungry, there’s nothing to eat This system has brought them down to their knees Is this the way you want things to be? Waking up again with a massive sigh The rent is due today and it’s sickeningly high Slumlord leeches sucking them dry The only two choices: Work or die The capitalist facade is starting to rot This doesn’t have to be the best we’ve got The gravy train has reached the end of the track Consolidate our power - it’s time to attack Let’s get together and take to the street Enough with the starving; it’s time to eat It’s time to bring this system down to its knees No more normality
7.
Blackout 01:57
The painful, stabbing beat of a heart Everything around is falling apart Shiver and shake, drop to the floor Hopeless to gain self-control anymore Drop down, hoarse shout Break down, black out Pressure peaking, Kicking, screaming it goes on and on and on Over and over and over again Death is the only friend May not be tomorrow, may not be today Remember it’s never going away Pure desperation, clinging for breath Tremble and tremor, begging for death
8.
Malfunction 01:31
Always so anxious, always so stressed Always put down when trying my best Don't need this burden weighing me down Need to escape, I'm leaving this town Malfunction, malfunction in my brain Malfunction malfunction, you drove me insane Lies and deception come by the score Laugh in my face and I can't stand anymore Enough of the bullshit, can't take this heat Throwing caution to the wind, running out on the street Malfunction, malfunction in my brain Malfunction malfunction, you drove me insane Malfunction malfunction, I’m filled with disdain You can beg, you can cry, you’re a hypocrite You can say you’ll change, I don’t give a shit You’ve lied and misled me for far too long You may think that you’re right but you’ll always be wrong
9.
Disappear 01:18
Always there when I need you Always here when you need me Always there for me until you disappear You’re a friend, to the end, never let me down Yet sing a different tune when I’m not around Who to trust and who to not is never really clear When everybody that you know disappears Years of cruel deceit have took me on the track To always have my eyes placed firmly on my back Why present yourself as so honest and sincere When all you ever do is disappear
10.
Bootstraps 01:27
No hope of a nine-to-five Steal your meals to stay alive Holes in the walls, holes in your life Endless pain and endless strife But just pull yourself up by your bootstraps Out of the gutter and into the clear Pull yourself up by your bootstraps Out of the gutter Systematic death assured It's a disease they don't want to cure See you on the street, your cries unheard And in response, you hear these words What bullshit
11.
Body Count 01:09
War is coming back again No more tears and no more pain Grasp victory in your hands Fall in line and be a man Send in the army Send in the navy Send the marines They'll think you're barmy They'll say you're crazy When you want no part of their conquestual scheme Not in your dreams Lead is flying, soldiers dying, soil is painted red Gas and bomb and shoot til every patriot is dead I won't fight in your wildest fucking dreams I won't fight. Will you fight?
12.
Final Word 01:20
Exercising the tactics that you learnt at school Playing the game and using your peers as mere tools Sometime around the bend, you turn on your friends; manipulate, use and abuse And when it’s all over, you move on to someone new Bullshit freshly stirred You won’t get the final word I won’t let the wolf blend in the herd Lying and cheating, slivering your way to the top Climbing so high, at risk of a mighty drop The smallest mistake blows back in your face; stumble and fall to the ground And don’t you forget once you fall back to earth that what goes up must come down
13.
Wise Up 01:35
Angered at the world, you see it on the news; Rape and genocide, intolerant views But in line with the values on which you were raised Pause yourself, stop yourself, keep yourself restrained A damaging facade, it’s time you gave it up It’s time you took your stand, it’s time that you wised up Sick of always seeing red? Wise up, wise up Time to use your fucking head Wise up, wise up Don’t let the hatred spread Wise up, wise up Time to use your fucking head Silence is consent, it’s time that you gave it up Voice your opinion, it’s time that you wised up Everything has gone to hell It’s every man for himself What a state Sick to death of this world of hate And endless war It picks away at you more and more Don’t pass the buck It’s time that you wised up

about

"An urgent reaction to a city and a world that wish to grind you into submission. THE ANNIHILATED waste no time polishing their craft, instead choosing to play constantly at the edge of their ability. The resulting sounds are of chaotic frustration and desperation, played with the intensity of an acid trip on the central line at rush hour. The rare punctuation marks are the red signals on the tracks to annihilation. A band from nowhere, but shaped by the hostile environment of a city, this record is a lashing out at the knives held to our necks." -JW
