01 - Sicario 03:46
You get what you want It's what everybody wants You're at the front door and we've paid But we're not sure what you sell Invite you in you're here to stay It's unclear who rang the bell But it's like as not impossible Sicario will carry on his way You get what you want It's what everybody wants Sicario Unlock the back door seal our fate Beckon in their dirty ways You're shaking hands with their fat snakes Does it taste like Cabernet? But you're all the same predictable Sicario will carry on his way You get what you want It's what everybody wants Sicario

I got a feeling I got no freedom So I need a reason To keep me believing When you're on vacation There goes my patience There goes the nation Here comes the Planet Animal Ghosts - Keep coming They love me the most - Keep coming Tests - Keep coming They love me the best - Keep coming Threats - Keep coming They love me to death - Keep coming Meat - Keep coming They love me to bleed - Keep coming I got a feeling If I stop believing My brain will start breathing Living and breeding Fucking and eating Scheduling meetings Sending out greetings I am a Planet Animal Don't take that medication It breaks your conviction That's all it does Don't use those intonations When educating your children about love Don't ask for genuflexion There's no reparation for that kind of blood Don't hide your inspiration I have only affection I have only compassion Ghosts - Keep coming They love me the most - Keep coming Tests - Keep coming They love me the best - Keep coming Threats - Keep coming They love me to death - Keep coming Meat - Keep coming They love me to bleed - Keep coming

This is a free market pacification Evasive debasement of popular vote A vindication of passive aggression A loophole in science A hole in the boat It's barely evolution How could I want to be like them I had a revelation I'm never coming back again This is my resignation And I'll clear my desk My bones and the rest My kevlar vest and I did my best But I quit my job This is the nightmare of social progression A vacuous and negative cultural drive A leech on our resources without vindication I'm getting out of here while I'm still alive It's barely evolution How could I want to be like them I had a revelation I'm never coming back again This is my resignation And I'll clear my desk My bones and the rest My kevlar vest and I did my best Down So fucking numb So fucking stupid So fucking dumb Hold my coat So I can dream So I can drink myself back To where I've been Line 'em up I feel so free I feel useless You know what I mean It's okay I used to be God But I have no meaning Now I quit my job

Empty I walk away a shallow man Why don't you understand The things that only I can Maybe Were these waters ever too close Why don't I understand That it's what lovers do most When do I feel that my soul has a light on When do I feel that my soul is alight Start a fire It's only a little one But make it a real one As warm as the Sun Start a fire So I can feel one Empty I crawl away a broken man Why do I take thes things too hard Whenever I can Maybe Were these quarters ever too close Why don't I understand That it's what lovers do most When do I feel that my soul has a light on When do I feel that my soul is alight When do I feel that my soul has a light on When do I feel that my soul is alight Start a fire It's only a little one But make it a real one As warm as the Sun Start a fire So I can feel one

05 - AKAAK 04:19
I swing from a rope That the massa was using to tether me I wish I was dead so I could rot on your land Dead by your hand Decaying in sand This ain't your bridge So follow the road to the camp That your daddy built on slave wages and food stamps I'll eat dirt by the light of my broken oil lamp AKA the AK Jackie O okayed JFK's case Facts and figures that fly in my face Maybe I'd concentrate if I had a taste For El Nino and Waco and chemical waste Mother dear scrubs the stairwell for hours While congressmen smoke out their ivory towers These no respect architects crowd out the doors And bury their children down under the floors AKA the AK I can't make it okay like my confidence I'm atrophied I'm bored and I'm hungry I lack what I need With my lawyers I plead and I never succeed Father nation took mother state's glistening ovaries My god, what a liberty What a lie, come on, choke down a slice of the pie And wash it down with some raw sewage from graves That we dug for our load-bearing Mexican slaves We love all our load-bearing Mexican slaves There's no way up for a wetback in the US of A AKA the AK

I was a teacher when I taught you how to be dumb But don't be dumb I was a soldier when I taught you how to be numb But don't be numb I was an advertiser when I made you buy shit But that's dinner I was a peacemaker with an agenda But that's a walk in the park I got sickening questions That you don't know Cause I don't want you to know Don't need you to know So I'll leave you hanging I was a teacher when I taught you how to be dumb But don't be dumb I was a soldier when I taught you how to be numb But don't be numb I was an advertiser when I made you buy shit But that's dinner I was a peacemaker with an agenda But that's a walk in the park My sickening questions You still don't know Cause I don't want you to know Don't need you to know So I'll leave you hanging

07 - Ghost 04:04
You are no better than me No better than the people you lead But your leadership died In a corner of industry You are no better then me No better than the people you need But our needs are defined By things you cannot believe In this churchyard I'm still waiting by the door for you Then I won't wait anymore In this graveyard are the homeless and the poor And you And your ghosts of war You don't know better than me No better than the wind in the leaves But your voice is Ringing from the hanging tree You don't know better than me So you'd better start earning your keep And you'll understand then Nothing comes easily In this churchyard I'm still waiting by the door for you Then I won't wait anymore In this graveyard are the homeless and the poor And you And your ghosts of war You are no better than me No better than the people we feed When your leadership dies Maybe those people are free In this churchyard I'm still waiting by the door for you Then I won't wait anymore In this graveyard are the homeless and the poor And you And your ghosts of war

08 - Holiday 05:18
It doesn't come easily Except for you it does It's just one of the little things That you did to earn our trust It started out innocent Almost as if it was You take a little reward For all the things that you've done for us It carries on endlessly Cause that's the way it works How can you run our lives If you join us in the dirt? Paid for your time Paid for your fine meals Laid on china plates Paid flesh and bone For your new home Do you believe that it's fair? Well believe it Do you need a holiday Like I need a holiday Everybody could use a vacation Everybody should get away But they need a holiday So everybody gets a kick in the face And a bill to pay There are no casualties Or so you say That's why your enemies Let us find out in this way It's a beautiful symmetry If it isn't fake We're making economies To increase what you get paid I don't accept your apology Cause that's not at stake You'd leave us on our knees While you go on holiday Paid for your time Paid for your fine meals Laid on china plates Paid flesh and bone For your new home Do you believe that it's fair? Well believe it Do you need a holiday Like I need a holiday Everybody could use a vacation Everybody should get away But they need a holiday So everybody gets a kick in the face And a bill to pay

09 - Run 04:27
Run This feeling's incredible Not a slave to the ways of an automatic Sun I'm inflamed when I'm staring down the sight of my gun Run You're not even here at all Just a game I was playing long before it'd begun It's the same every day until I let the fun go to my head Did you hear what I said Then I let you go (Then I run and I run and I run) Catch you before the road (Then I run and I run and I run) And now you're under the stones (Then I run and I run and I run) No one will ever know Run This should be impossible Many ways to repay all the things that I've done I'll be saved in a better place if that day ever comes Run Do you even care at all? Why do your eyes turn blank at the sight of your blood It's the same every night barefoot in the mud Do you wish you were dead? Run (Run run run) Cause I am invincible Not a slave to the ways of an automatic sun You'll get used to the taste of the sight of my gun Run (Run run run) It feels like a miracle Just a game I was playing long before it begun It's the same outcome anyway so I let the fun go to my head Do you hear what I'm saying? Then I let you go (Then I run and I run and I run) Catch you before the road (Then I run and I run and I run) And now you're under the stones (Then I run and I run and I run) No one will ever know

Cortez Hasta la Corrida Siempre Cortez Coja su política Cortez Light your last cigarette Stay close to the fire We'll watch the Sun go down We'll watch while this World dies Stand by your innocence Stand by your lies We'll watch the Sun go down Everything's gonna be alright I'll hold your head back While you throw up your life Cortez Hasta la Corrida Siempre Cortez Coja su política Cortez Para la queja mexicana Cortez Este sueño de América Cortez

Shark Tooth In my mouth Rows upon rows Trying to get out They make my face bleed When I'm prone to the tide They make my arms weak They hang limp by my sides It's my tight little noose Made of barbed wire It speaks only the truth When my mind is on fire Shark tooth In my mouth Rows upon rows Strain to get out When I get loose And the tide rolls back I hang my shark tooth On a chain around my neck It's hard to breathe And difficult to sleep It cuts into me But it's a burden I keep It's a tight noose But it keeps it all in I don't lay ground rules I'd only break them again It's my shark tooth And it's the reason I try Cause when I get to the truth It makes it all worthwhile Shark Tooth In my mouth Rows upon rows Trying to get out They make my face bleed When I'm prone to the tide They make my arms weak They hang limp by my sides It's my tight little noose Made of barbed wire It speaks only the truth When my world is on fire Shark tooth In my mouth Rows upon rows Strain to get out

They don't want to hear about it No one is shifting in their sleep Cause no one cares about it They've got no secrets to keep This is for everybody When the lights are coming down When the lights are flooding the ground Just remember to keep your head down Searching hands on sundried flesh The salt-filled wounds of the dispossessed Waving crucifixes like their lives depended on us If you're seeking voices in your head The face in the moon will always be there To stare us down like nothing ever comes to us So fall in line like flies to shit are drawn And babies late to mothers are born And breastfed before the eyes of the judgemental So hold me up like I was your God Nothing saves what I just forgot Do your dreams come from lights in the sky Did they ever think to ask us why Just remember to stay on your own ground When the lights are coming down When the lights are flooding the ground Just remember to stay down So hold me up like I was your God Cause nothing stays in the air for long Nothing saves what I just forgot Stay down keep your head to the ground and stop Everybody get your heads on the ground Everybody get your heads on the ground Everybody get your fucking heads down Everybody get your heads on the ground No wait this is not right Am I wrong or are those lights in the sky Not supposed to move like fire? Not supposed to move like fire? It's not too late to avoid All the crowds and the noise and the welcome signs Shoulder your shotguns and fire Shoulder your shotguns and fire I've been here before But it was different before I've been here before But it wasn't like this before I felt like I could be saved Coming down in so many ways I knew that I would be saved Since then I've been counting the days
