Se oyen los disparos  Y los gritos también  El ruido de El Barrio  A todo volumen  La Sangre Correra  Las madres lloran, lloran  Los jóvenes pagaran  Es el precio final  Muchos no entienden  El juego de El Barrio  Es un juego de  Un sistema podrido  La Lucha no es entre nosotros mismos  Pero no podemos ver el enemigo  Se oyen los disparos  Las madres lloran, lloran  Se oyen los disparos  Las Madres lloraran…

Slicing and cutting, your limbs off your body Murder for money , greed runs in our veins Our young loved ones, had no chance to run some kill for fun, it's primeval rage - - - - - World disillusion Global pollution We are what we eat, Poorly processed meat Raped women, forced mothers Fucked over each other Don't dare call me brother This world's congested with deceit An urban jungle is where I'm located we all wear disguises in Civilization The weak get eaten as the strong stay on top Hunter's sneak below the grass, it's an inside job Abandoning their offspring, in a vacant alley To join a protest rally, against abortion clinics Fake smiles For all As the small stand tall You're a trustworthy snake honesty you wish to mimic - - - - - Vanity in high supply teens committing suicide popularity on their mind Beauty reigns over us Ignorance preferred, as our youth speaks in slurs Our masters go unheard, and our brains rot and rust An urban jungle is what's been created disguises become an obligation predator or prey, where do you stand? Scavenger or Hunter? We are no longer man Would you waste your money or feed the hungry? Gluttony for everybody, Tell me who's to blame? Some die for colors Others die For Lovers Pride before shame, take cover and aim - - - - - - Trade in your fashion Or die of starvation this proud Nation's fueled by religious driven lies Does your skin define you you don't get to choose racism and hate hide behind your eyes We are no better than the cattle that we slaughter All the chalk lines are drawn by corrupted swine We're responsible for the poison in our food we are sending this Earth to its immediate demise The message is there, the message is so clear We are more hazardous to this planet than the creatures at we fear We're blood thirsty savages

Mass consumption, marked for death Put it down, fuck the rest I'm self destructive, it's nothing new It's my addiction eating food Carbohydrate, overload Nonstop tension, might explode Hungry lifestyle can't defend My gut exploded, now I'm dead heavy set in my own ways Short on breath, close to my grave Heart attack or massive stroke Can't fit more, my stomach tore Carbohydrate, overload Nonstop tension, might explode Hungry lifestyle can't defend My gut exploded now I'm dead! With all this food inside my guts, I can't cut back I'm real fucked up My guts are pushed out to the max, skin is stretching can't relax With all this food inside my guts, the pressure builds I'm gonna bust! Now I'm fucking dead!

25 years got nowhere to go 25 years no place to call my home We had nothing to do but make some noise Had nothing to lose, we were nothing boys Lived our lives like mother fuckers Every night just getting drunker Mixing pills and powders too The only way to make it through Mota, coca, crys and shrooms Benzos oxies morphine too Nitrous shots, hot knives n rails Lived our lives too fucked to fail We lived our lives Too fucked to fail We lived our lives Too fucked to fail 33 years now I can't believe 33 years I never thought I'd see We had no one to see us through We were nothing boys, nothing to lose Lived our lives like mother fuckers Every night just getting drunker Mixing pills and powders too The only way to make it through Mota, coca, crys and shrooms Benzos oxies morphine too Nitrous shots, hot knives n rails Lived our lives too fucked to fail We lived our lives Too fucked to fail We lived our lives Too fucked to fail We lived our lives Too fucked to fail We lived our lives Too fucked to fail

The birth of our nation was shot on a 12 reel The modern aberration learned how to conceal Hiding in plain sight It's nothing new Numbers keep rising But we all see who you have chosen to lead you The hate all of you agree to More organized, disguise revised, decentralized Recruit the weak, weed out the meek, and mobilize The new face of hate The new face of retreat, relapse to a place that never existed Regress, rehash settled ground that you have twisted The stewards of civility Policing through hostility A hindrance you slow down all progress It's not just you this is all our mess Leverage all that I have to stop you Every last ounce of will to fight you Everything to make you feel safe, for no reason Everything to save you from pain, no fucking reason

I wanna run I wanna hide I can't think straight too hard to try So many colors so many distractions I'm shaking in my desk no satisfactions Can't sit still Hyperactivity Don't want pills Feel dead like zed Get our of my head It's like a needle in my head I don't know what anybody said That's why identity's the only single thing that doesn't care about my ADHD

Creature kill  He’s on your feel  He wants your eyes  Or maybe your face  He’ll lead you to the house of pain  Away with your face with no remorse  Creature kill

Nothing left but a pleasure fold 
 Nothing left but a  
Nothing left but a pleasure fold  
Nothing left but a 
 Let me know your step secret baby  
Let me see your astronaut smile  
Let me in your water bubble 
 Let me see your wings tonight  Nothing left but a pleasure fold 
 Nothing left but a  
Nothing left but a pleasure fold  
Nothing left but a  Like a mermaid with a lemonade kiss 
 You spark my inner smile 
 When I close my eyes  
I can see a hundred miles  Let me know your step secret baby 
 Let me see your astronaut smile  
Let me in your water bubble 
 Let me see your wings tonight  

 I punched the clock that took my life 
 Gave up on that road 
 I took a bite out of life 
 Nothing left but a pleasure fold My heart’s on fire 
 My fingers bleed 
 Always knew it’d be this way 
 Sometimes good things go 
 Sometimes good things stay 

 Let me know your step secret baby 
 Let me see your astronaut smile 
 Let me in your water bubble  
Let me see your wings tonight  We’ll I’ll never take you back 
 Which says I never would 
 They say you are crap 
 They tell me you’re no good 
 They never thought I could 
 They tell me how to be 
 They say you’re my friend 
 I don’t want to be Bowed out silently 
 Bowed out to save my soul 
 The machine moves on 
 I’m sipping beers in Tokyo 

 I reach out for something real 
 Innocence – Honesty 
 You’re the place I’m looking for 
 Take me under your wing 
 Let me know your step secret baby  
Let me see your astronaut smile  
Let me in your water bubble 
 Let me see your wings tonight, tonight!

Oh Captain, Why Captain?!  (V1) This was our chance to change it But instead it's all a fucking mess Their lies spread out like fires I'm done with all of their promises  It's times like this Where I can't see the plan That is up ahead And the whole world is laughing  Laughing at his incompetence  (C) Well what can I say but The worlds going to shit They are all sending us to hell Goddamn these politics "SO TELL ME" (V2) Sit back it's intermission  The second act is better yet This was the new beginning  Of this fucked establishment  They speak of strong core values  Yet lead in rhetoric of hate And now we stand divided And they're the only ones to blame. (C) Well what can I say but The worlds going to shit They are all sending us to hell Goddamn these stupid politics Music and Lyrics by This Is A Train Wreck 2017

Trapped inside, didn't have a clue I was once controlled inside of my mind They held on to my hands and throat Used a bandana to cover my eyes My name's Janet I was blinded for years so I couldn't see the stamp on my back But one day I finally broke away and the truth and lies were perfectly clear It's sick Is this really how... It's sick ...you want to live? It's sick They just let it be... It's sick ...but I have no choice Standing still,  standing my ground I want to leave a print not a mark Judging from all standing points cause they're shallow brains just can't comprehend They target you Material desires Those are the things that we should set fire They're all driven by a production of shit that's just a waste of life's time It's sick Is this really how... It's sick ...you want to live? It's sick They just let it be... It's sick ...but I have no choice They can't see, not like me, that freedom's not what they've really got Convinced that they can make a choice when the decision's already been made And when their time is done they'll think they had a blast, their life was a trip But in the end, what's over soon? A life they lived by somebody's way It's sick Is this really how... It's sick ...you want to live? It's sick They just let it be... It's sick ...but I have no choice

Verse: Hear the crash of the 40 ounce, it's the worst sound that I felt Bondage belts and boots in the night, cigarette smoke fill in the skies Puke and chunks are on the floor, the worst kind of vomit that I saw Rabid drunk punx hit the store, get more 40's for the boi's! (x2) Chorus: Give me another 40 ounce! Chug it down and watch me bounce(x4)

You can't run and you can't hide Your eternal soul will be mine Take your last breath Say your goodbyes  Death is breathing down your neck  You can't run and you can't hide Your eternal soul will be mine Take your last breath Say your goodbyes  Death is breathing down your neck I am the reaper Keeper of all souls Forever seeking out  Ultimate control  I will take you on  bringing forth your death This will be your end You have drawn Your last breath I can't stop I won't stop Till you drop I can't stop Can't stop death  Unforseen  Your last breath It's obscene  It's all gone you are soon to be No more and I'll take over          x3 Scythe come down  Brain splatters  Blood will pour Nothing matters You can't run and you can't hide Your eternal soul will be mine Take your last breath Say your goodbyes  Death is breathing down your neck You can't run and you can't hide Your eternal soul will be mine Take your last breath Say your goodbyes  Death is breathing down your neck I am the reaper Keeper of all souls Forever seeking out  Ultimate control  I will take you on  bringing forth your death This will be your end You have drawn Your last breath I can't stop I won't stop Till you drop I can't stop Can't stop death  Unforseen  Your last breath It's obscene  And I'll be there To kill all of you Bloody and true And I'll be there To kill all of you Bloody and true

Wake up in the morning and i feel like shit, my life still sucks and it makes me sick.. You can see it when you look in my eyes, theres nothing there, no life inside...You might hear the shit i say and warn yourself to just stay away...fuck this shit I'm out of here, fuck you all i need a beer. My life is fucking wasting, every day is fucking boring, every thing is fucking bullshit, i can't see where I'm fucking going. Sitting here I'm fucking rotting, Drooling like a mindless zombie , I don't care that its not stopping, I don't care cause I'm not stopping...living this life that i can't stand, nothing ever turns out how i fucking plan. Living a life where nothings there but i just can't bring my self to fucking care.

No countering the clock; Loose threads won't interlock Let's rewind only to find there's no gears, no ties that bind Time lost in clips, grain's lost in drips Come to grips, your rope is clipped The hourglass cannot be flipped Turn back the sands of time Memories start to haze Skin cracks, hair turns gray Chronophobic disillusions Only one concrete conclusion Possessions won't be saved, paths that won't be paved No matter how or when you go, you'll always have a grave Lost it all to father time Slowly lose track of your mind Feel life is getting shorter Can't put all this into order Learn to take shallow breaths Crying out your thoughts of death A lifetime of banality Damnation in your finality Turn back the sands of time

Sanity In the night, its time to die My mind goes black, is it suicide Take back the pill I need Free my pain of Sanity In this world just leave me be Wheres God who can save me Out of sight and out of mind Temptation has overtaken Presence has awakened

FLESH MALL This is a song About a mall Made of flesh That wants to crawl Into your room And give you hugs Kiss your lips Swallow the bugs Why must I be Allowed to make this song I should be locked away And and given a gun Remove myself from This life With a shot between the eyes Flesh Mall Flesh Mall Let it crawl Flesh Mall What kind of girl Would want to breed Satan spawn With the likes of me I doubt anyone could Look into these eyes And see anything But perverted lies I cry at night into my sheets That a mall made of flesh Gets more coochie then me But in the end I guess I win Cause i wont get a single STD Flesh Mall Flesh Mall It will crawl Flesh Mall MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR ABORTION LYRICS I cant believe that you left me On the floor after I was delivered I guess that's the reason why im fucked up And aroused by the sight of dying dogs I want your cunt Just the fact that I can get access To a weapon should bring fear To the hearts of the innocent Far and near When will you realize that I want to Suck and fuck your naked feet I live like a disgusting pig now Almost dead out in the street There is nothing that you can say That will bring me back to the light I am destined to go to hell For everything I will do tonight I want your cunt I will get that cunt If it is the last thing I do I will suck upon your flesh Make it like a tasty stew

Cold breeze, thumping chest sweaty palms, restlessness don't know the limit, don't know whats next expect the worst, they say it makes the best Running fast or running slow the barking dogs they let them go their piercing fangs wont let you go They push you far, so you push some more There! There's a method to the madness! There! There! There's a method to the madness! Toss and Turn, Body aches The outside world, it keeps it pace erase it all, build new face relearn the basics, relearn the chase There! There's a method to the madness! There! There! There's a method to the madness!

Still I Rise I remember eating stale bread and greens And ducking under the screens  So we couldn't see the murder  scenes   In the background my momma playing Supremes  Over speakers distracting us so we couldnt hear the gun shots Or so she thought, Everyday I wake up to another horror expecting the worst but thankful cuz we couldnt get no poorer praisin  the hallelujah chorus Stuck in God's forbidden forest Under duress of a civil servant living through the storm Yea He's my savior with a double edged sword But cutting the chordll damage the body  to honor which it swore So Can we get an intermission For this submission A penny and a pond so perhaps we can throw a wish in? And though born in demise Still I rise And I will survive What makes you mad? The fact that I Am copper and bright Is this what makes us demonstrate on site? A spark ignites like a rod and a kite Or is it the fact that u cant bring me down I'm ten steps ahead of your attempts to decrown  My effortless aura's making ppl turn around And start marching to the beat of a new improved sound Yea I will fight til my very last breath  For the weak who can't  And I'll still love u to death but look There's no time for your selfishness  The buildings crumbling around us as we sink to the pits  I'm keeping up with just my wits So dont think that this is just hit or miss But youre an overseer so I'll give you this It won't effect u but trust me it'll murder your kids And while we die know that your whole life is a lie  constructed by the very people pivoting their pawns for sacrifice This is a call to arms to stand and fight for what's right And though they point and laugh when they hear me cries Still I rise  You were never guna give it to me Take all that you thought you knew  and promptly throw it away We are rising from the depths of history Hear us coming if youre forced to look away call to arms for an attack  but it'll be too late We are slowly rising like tsunami Lightening thunder Through the storm through fire through thunder and light Though my body is weak I won't give in tonight I'll wade the water Feel the earth shake beneath me as I rise like the sea Feel the roots of persecution rip away with trees I'll wade the water

The Holocaust Continues... The holocaust continues as we speak winged creatures are de-feathered and de-beaked The young are separated from their families They live what lives they have as products in a factory until they're led in a prod-conducted train to the chamber where their kind is mercilessly slain to become the next link in the ever-growing chain to fulfill the order of the ever-hungry man Cannibal Society Come with me now I invite you to see the rich catered around the table in their luxuries stuffing themselves rancorously, their eyes glazed in the trance-like state of the feast They scramble like vermin over the main course of the meal, a roasted dark-skinned body stamped with a corporate seal Straight from the womb to the conveyor belt Uniform glaze makes us suppress ourselves Baked to a state of lethargy Unable to rise, unable to flee Labor consumes the not-so-priviledged man He sizzles in the industrial frying pan His joys are strained, the desolation rises He's fed upon by the wealthy and their enterprises Take the industrial hearse to the inner city See the gobbled remains of life that used to be Sprinkling the gutter like banana peels, the walking devoured wander like ghosts of past meals Where big chief sends the lessers to fight his war, to climb the pyramid means stepping on those below Where dancing around the fire means throwing others in, there lies the society I live in
