"The Defense" 
 
Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today  
Mass paranoia is a mode not a melody  
Yeah I'd like to watch all thousand cable channels but there's nothing on  
And my high speed connection's monitored daily by the pentagon  
These things are seldom what they seem  
I'm not inclined to enjoy my dreams  
won't go away  
 
No Peace and No Friends  
We Trace the mortal edge with no defense  
To State the obvious  
This world is perilous for us  
No sense and No Guide  
ain't it beautiful to be alive Yeah right  
I won't resign before the struggle ends  
So I'll construct this sound defense  
 
We are the prey and culture is the predator  
I'm running out of time where conditions are positionnal  
Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity  
There's got to be a way to overcome this grim reality  
Is there an option left for me  
I'm not immune to despondency  
There's no way  
 
No Peace and No Friends  
We Trace the mortal edge with no defense  
To State the obvious  
This world is perilous for us  
No sense and No Guide  
ain't it beautiful to be alive Yeah right  
I won't resign before the struggle ends  
So I'll construct this sound defense  
 
There's a signpost on the corner  
and it keeps everybody safe  
We were all made in the shade  
And your mother's in the kitchen  
where she's patching all the cracks in the wall  
We never had to care in the world  
 
Too much to sacrifice  
it's hard to recognize  
Just a compromise of purely deadly alibies  
It's combinational  
the pressure so intense  
So I'll construct this sound defense  
 
Nothing's plainer than the madness in the world today  
I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away  
I seek initiatives in matters that are black and white  
So I'll construct this sound defense
