American Carnage; it is all around And the person who coined it is just a fear-mongering clown American Carnage; preamble of fools Now it's actually happening and we don't know what to do Twenty-twenty, it's been so cruel If hind-sight's twenty-twenty, we all are fools

The thinning of the herd, the thinning of the herd Run for your life Death is coming for you Run for your lives Death is coming for you Run! Run! As fast as you can! The thinning of the herd, the thinning of the herd Run! Run! As fast as you can!

Boom Sticks 04:28
Yeah you a big bad proud boy With your big bad boy toys That help you make a lot of noise And make you feel like a badass motherfucker Yeah you drive a big truck And you ain't scared to push your luck Got a southern cross you like to suck Cause you know you is a real mother fucker, a real cross sucker Yes you know this to be true, yes you do... There can be no silence until we do something more about this violence All of these tubes when they go boom, which they do... There will be less violence if we trade is these arms for some love and tolerance All of the these tubes when they go boom, which they do... There can be no peace or silence with so many people prone to use their violence Yeah you say you need it for protection But I see it gives you an erection Which you better not point in this direction Can you hear me motherfucker? Yeah what are you afraid of? Fear ain't the stuff hero's are made of But down your stick and show some love now Do you think we got deal motherfucker, a deal motherfucker?
5.
You can feel it changing now, everywhere you go A look of fear in all the eyes, waiting, waiting for the storm Take a deep a breath and release your woes No one can control if the stay or if they go Staring death straight in the eye as you cry a tear for love Is there something more to find, on the other side, or up above? This changes everything for the rest of time What will the world be like? Will there still be reason and rhyme? Take a deep a breath and release your woes We all share this much where ever we may go Staring death straight in the eye as you cry a tear for love Is there something more to find, on the other side, or up above? Staring death straight in the eye as you cry a tear for love Is there something more to find, on the other side, or up above?

Trouble brewing, there ain't no hiding Should be selling, but everybody's buying Doomsday dreams come haunting again Ride the rocket into the red Helter-skelter, look for shelter Take cover and get ready for the weather Ten thousand years and it'll be here again Plant the seeds, life from the dead Insatiable Greed Oh yeah Insatiable Greed Insatiable Greed Oh yeah Insatiable Greed No one's looking at what you're buying All they see is how hard you're trying No money can't buy everything The more you have the less it brings You try to show how much you own But all it shows is the lies that you have sown As they say, "you reap what you sow" Now it's time to pay the debts you owe Insatiable Greed Oh yeah Insatiable Greed Insatiable Greed Oh yeah Insatiable Greed Insatiable Greed Oh yeah Insatiable Greed Insatiable Greed Oh yeah Insatiable Greed
7.
Twenty-twenty, you've come and you've gone Just like everything, passing on into song Strife and pestilence, hate and greed Dark times bring out the Darkness in all humanity Twenty-twenty, you've been so cruel Desperation everywhere, people don't know what to do Twenty-twenty, revealer of truths The fall of an empire, the fall of the King of Fools
8.
Twenty One 03:57
Staring straight ahead The good news is you ain't yet dead Where would you rather be than here in the land of opportunity? Still alive and full of fight Too many wrongs yet left to right How can we justify this kind of life as we watch the Earth die? On the cusp of catastrophe By the end of the century Fighting over everything Losing sight of the important things On which side of history do you want to be remembered by for eternity? I wouldn't hold your breath But there's still time... It may be a long shot yet... What else can we do? (Oh-oo-oh-oh-oh - Oh-oo-oh-oh-oh) Yes I believe (Oh-oo-oh-oh-oh) We can do better (Oh-oo-oh-oh-oh) Yes I believe (Oh-oo-oh-oh-oh) We can do better (Oh-oo-oh-oh-oh) I wouldn't hold your breath It may be a long shot yet What else can we do?
