T.V 01:39
What am I doing here watching this for? It just doesn't seem to make sense anymore. They think we're all idiots, we'll show them, they'll see, that playing with fire's more fun than T.V. What's on T.V? What's on T.V? There's voices and there's faces and they're talking to me. What's on T.V? What's on TV? I don't care what you're selling cos I don't have the money. Vacant faces on the news now, read blindly from the auto-cue. They try to say what happens in the world but really they don't have a clue. Do you? What's on T.V? What's on TV? They're holding onto secrets that they can't say on screen. What's on T.V? What's on TV? Stop putting fucking dollar sign's on everything. If we told you all the things they knew, your head would probably explode, from all the information they've been keeping from the masses, making sure that their machine doesn't corrode. So I say! What's on T.V? What's on TV? Continually telling us to buy buy buy buy What's on T.V? What's on TV? Please stop it with your fear campaign's you're making us cry. What am I doing here watching this for? I don't know about you but I know for sure, that T.V is terrible it's awful indeed, a brainwashing box propaganda machine.

When you're out there on the frontlines, fighting for a better way. Ripping up and tearing down the things that don't apply today. Keep an eye out for your people, let them know you're doing so. Soon will be the day, we'll find our way, realise we have something to say. I know that when you see it, you won't believe your fucking eyes and I know that when you believe this, It won't be such a big surprise. The people are revolting, heads are rolling all around, struggling to find balance, their feet are floating off the ground. We see that you're anxious, we see you seek a better way. We see your frustrations with all the fucks that wanna pray, But god won't answer you tonight, cos you still want to scream and fight, but can't you see that we are one, cos once we see, we'll be in harmony. I know that when you see it, you'll see the world has been disguised. Change up the way you're perceiving, we'll have them running for their lives. I know that when you believe, we'll have them running for their lives! I know that when you perceive this, It won't be such a big surprise.

All For One 02:55
So much intensity. Heart beating, blood pumping, is this insanity? Or am I, just jumping the gun is to our heads. So we bury them in sand instead of looking ahead Cos when you finally wipe away all of the sleep from your eyes You'll be blinded by a brilliant light that takes you by surprise, and it says, 'Fear doesn't serve any purpose, so let it all rise to the surface'. I feel and see, there's more to me, than just a human body. Subquantumly, we are all energy. Every time I tried to think about a better way to be, I saw a vision of uniting all humanity. But then I found out slavery was commonplace in our society, and I dreamt of being free. Free to dream my own reality. Humility will balance our instabilities. I feel and see, there's more to me, than just a human body. Subquantumly, we are all energy, In the sea. Goodbye to all the old routines. Retrace embrace these energies. Can you feel it rising in your being? It's all for One and One is me! I feel and see, there's more to me, than just a human body. Subquantumly, we are all energy. Can't you see it, and feel it? Cos now I know that this is it, you'll see the light, learn to feel it, and if you don't you know it's fine, just know it's there you'll seek, you'll find. There are so many frequencies assimilating into me, I hope you choose to hear and fucking see how much more we can be!

I know the things they say wont be that way forever. The things they say don't stay the same they always change. But that's why things here now are only getting better, cos this is the time that the brightness inside us can shine So tell me! Have you really got the will to stand up? Have you really got the will to get up off your knees? I'm begging please. We can do it if you put your hand up. Get a grip and take a stand to get up on your feet, Don't admit defeat. I speak for all the crooked souls who's fear is dying alone. These words are all that I have, they make me more than a man. And if you listen closely, you'll hear your heartbeat mostly. Don't take your life for granted, you leave here empty handed. This couldn't be more easy but if you want to please me, just stand here by my side, until the end of time, and then we will shine all the light that we're holding inside. Have you really got the will to stand up? Have you really got the will to get up off your knees? I'm begging please. We can do it if you put your hand up. Get a grip and take a stand to get up on your feet, Don't admit defeat. Our eyes light up a world inside, been held back such a long time. The flames grow higher, a burning sky, reveals the all seeing eye, their fight wont last, its just a farce, hold tight, it's the end of the line! Have you really got the will to stand up? Have you really got the will to get up off your knees? I'm begging please. We can do it if you put your hand up. Get a grip and take a stand to get up on your feet, Don't admit defeat. Don't admit defeat! We'll never retreat!
