WORDS & MUSIC BY JAMES KENNEDY

1) NEURONS

It breeds in cattle
Like a fire in a Hospital
It dreams in illness
And multiplies like a Colony
A symbol of the question
We can't afford to ask ourselves
A digital reflection
Of our unconscious reality
It feeds on virus
And prays like a deity
And it's born into cages
With the inside out
And dissipates like religion
Through the veins of everything

2) KNOW YOUR ENEMY
Big banks and Big Business
Big Government we charge you as guilty
Of Treason and Perjury
War Crimes and daylight robbery
'Cos they're all criminals now
They're all criminals now
Left or Right, black or white
Same agenda, different lie
But we are many and they are few
And we are their biggest fear
We don't need to know the answers
Just know your enemy 
Soon
So the middle and the working classes
Must stress and toil
To pay the bail outs, ever higher taxes
And Wars for power and Oil
While they loot the planet
By force, lies and fear
When are we gonna see the systems rigged
And our votes will never ever, never ever change it
'Cos they're all criminals now
They're all criminals now
They're all criminals, don't be a sucker to their political
Charade
But we are many and they are few
And we are their biggest fear
We don't need to know the answers
Just know your enemy 
Soon
They're all criminals now
They're all criminals now
Left or Right, black or white
Same agenda, different lie
I know my enemy & our war is always with me x24

3) VOTE WITH A BULLET
I used to see it as the enemy
Until I saw the real one
When the monopoly of force taught me
The lesson of the Gun
So if it's for your own protection that it's safest in their hands
Why's it pointed at you?
In this democracy of hypocrisy
It really ain't that hard to see
It lives by Gangsters' rules
So load up, disenfranchise The Conspiracy
Pull the trigger, to deliver the words the wouldn't hear
When all other means are corrupted
By the anarchy of the few
And assembly means brutality
What are left but to do?
So load up, disenfranchise The Conspiracy
Pull the trigger, to deliver the words the wouldn't hear
Occupy the hand of strength
Pacify the hands of death x2
So load up, disenfranchise The Conspiracy
Pull the trigger, to deliver the words the wouldn't hear
Vote x8
Leave us the ballot or we vote with a bullet x4

4) INSOMNIA
Here we go again, it's 4am
And I'm punching on the pillows
I can't pretend, reach for my phone again
And just wait for tomorrow
I wish I felt so alive in the daytime
But the rats only come out at night
To scurry around my mind
Insomnia, Insomnia
My recurring nightmare
Insomnia, got me prisoner
In my own head
Have I forgotten to sleep?
Or am I sick?
Or is this just a dream?
Another smoke, another drink
Another anything
I just gotta get through this
And I'm so tired of being tired
I'm going crazy
I'm too tired to even sleep
Can someone save me from
Insomnia, Insomnia
My recurring nightmare
Insomnia, got me prisoner
In my own head
I claw at my eyes
I wish I could hide from you
I'm on fire & I'm cramped
And I wish that the silence would shut the fuck up
I crash & I burn, I toss & I turn
I beg & I yearn
For just one nights sleep
But Insomnia, Insomnia
You fucking nightmare
Insomnia, you give me nausia
When I think of you
Insomnia, Insomnia
I love you too.
