V1
I don’t want no shit from you
Hypocrites and selfish fools
Lust for power your decision
Waste all Want more is your mission
Shut your scheming, whiney ass!
Your words choke like poison Gas
C1
Now we make our case
Running this death race
Rushing headlong brace
Crushing all we face!
Thought creators guess
Which way we’ll go next
Fighting all regress
As we kick, your Ass!
V2
I don’t need your “Vaccine” ask
This forced Jab, this Soiled Mask
Target painted on my chest
Cuz I don’t buy your PC crap
And I’m completely out of step
With Pandemic fear Duress
C2
Thought creators guess
Which way we’ll go next
Fighting all regress
As we kick, your Ass!
Now we make our case
Running this death race
Rushing headlong brace
Crushing all we face!

V1
In this world of, Black and White
Grey doubts are choking out the light
12 steps in and half a step out
Feel like I’m gonna lose my mind!
Old emotions Trying to live again
Tell another soul all your sin
V2
Sometimes grey is all you’ve got
Reaching for something new takes might
Seems to be half the fight
Choosing a god to cure your disease
Half a step in, 12 steps out
A battle that comes from within
Surrender, let the healing begin
Bridge
Though I have all these questions
I still can’t see
But there’s a clear reflection
Of who I wanted to be
Outro
Pushing back, covert mind attacks
Rushing toward, this wall I’ve climbed before
Crashing in, let the games begin
Standing fast, to usher in a new age

V1
Building up and taking risks
Something we don’t do with Fists
No time now cuz it’s all over
No time I’m always under…
C1
Pressure Pressure
On my mind
Pressure Pressure
All the time
V2
My back’s against the wall
With no reprieve I’m going to stall
Climbing, Climbing no more Air
Gotta’ break this frozen stare
In this world of constant motion
Beyond the sky, beneath the Ocean
Rocket Slide the speed of Sound
It’s building, building, building into…
C2
Pressure Pressure
Robbing Peace
Pressure Pressure
Need release
Lead/Bridge
Outro
Pressure Pressure from all sides
Pressure building, suffocating, pounding on me
ALL THE TIME!!

Intro (Ringmaster talking)
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, Kids of all ages! Step right up and don’t be shy. Never ever has there been such a complete shit show like we have for you tonight! You’ll be amazed, you’ll be dazzled, you’ll be perplexed by the sheer Fuckery of it all. Yes fine citizens… The Tri-Lateral Consortium is pleased to bring you, The Ding-a-ling Brothers, Harm Em’ and Pay me Circus!!!
V1
Please direct your attention, to 1st Ring
Where we have all three branches, and their King
The more your money feeds them, the more they sing
The sound of bloated bigot’s, familiar ring
The Spin is quicker than the eyes
But you won’t recognize the ties
Cuz’ rhetoric has cauterized
And it should come as no surprise
C1
That the Showmen in the pits don’t give a shit about your rights
Watch Snowmen with the Rips, on the Dumbbox every night.
Power, Power grab more Power, win without a fight
Look at them all Spin and Spin, just gotta’ tell the story right!
V2
So when the Circus comes to town
Animals watch us act like Clowns
The Art and Science of the Stages?
Running the Show from Monkey cages
You see it’s called Democracy
Not our Circus, not our Monkeys
But the Republic we’ve created
Has made U.S. fat and left us jaded
C2
Something wicked this way comes, no banners, flags or marching drums
No lines defined, no Cannon’s blast, cuz ones and zeros move too fast
Lower, Lower, we sink Lower, not attentive to our past
Once we’ve realized it, we’ll hit Critical Mass
V3
Watch all the Scholar’s fodder fly
A narrative clouded with lies
Then just watch them all change their minds
You’ll stop counting at 50 times
C3
Now we pull the Curtains back, on this untruth attack
The Big Top has become a trap, diversionary overlap
The Center Ring is sinking fast, a correlation of our past
Though tonight the show is over…
The actors will be back!
The lights are on but please stay seated…
History will be repeated!
(Ringmaster talking over outro)
Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen for complying! I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of each other from now on… whether you like it or not!

V1
Always do what you say, don’t ever ask “Why?”
Everything is fine as long as you, agree to comply
Don’t want forced aggravation, just keep it inside
Just gotta’ face the day, just gotta’ survive
Chorus
Rudimentary, it’s Rudimentary
Living in a world of “Wannabes”
Punch the clock lose a day
Occupational Malaise
V2
When you touch the fire, you feel the scorch
Appetite with no real empathy, and no remorse
Get in line to quench their hunger, to forge their greed
Realize that once they taste you, now you’re their meal
Lead/Bridge
V3
We Drive that cold machinery, we drive it well
Can’t wash off retribution, that Corporate smell
Listen to the sound of Freedom, now Free your mind
Go get a taste of what you’re missing, while there’s still time
Repeat Chorus
Go die, we won’t comply!!

I’m just fine go eat a Bag of dicks!!

Soiled Mask

V1
Obesely morbid Social fiending
Collective opinion screening
Selling souls for affirmation
Emotional Monetization
I don’t trust my government
Monopolies and “Group Think” bent
“They” know, “They” see, all my intent
This soiled mask feels permanently
C1
But I don’t have to fucking like it
And I don’t have to fucking wear
The Soiled Mask they call protection
That keeps the herd so unaware
V2
Fuck the politics of greed
Shadow Puppets, Hawker’s seed
Big Tech fucking Hipster seepage
Disinformational creepage
Fuck a deadly new disease
This Soiled Mask economy
Assertions of Desertion breed
Eugenic perplexities
Bridge
C2
No I don’t trust my government
Monopolies and “Group Think” bent
“They” know, “They” see, all my intent
This Soiled Mask is permanent!
But we don’t have to fucking take it
Populous Opinion’s wares
The Soiled Mask of Liberators
Synthetic hive mind auctioneers
C3
But we don’t have to fucking take it
And we don’t have to fucking wear
The Soiled Mask they call protection
That keeps the herd so unaware
No Shit!
I’d say we’ve had enough of it
No Shit! No Shit!
We don’t want your government Tit
SOILED MASK!!

Angry Church

V1
We’ve been waiting welcome to the fray
All you need to do is obey
Never mind your rationality
A useful idiot is what we need
Bind yourself with rage you cannot see
Stewing in deep antipathy
Injustice is the flavor of the day
Indignance is the only way
Soon you'll take offense to everything
Wallowing in Toxic Waste
Losing your ability to cope
Now you know there is no hope
Adapted to the group depravity
As you join the hive mentality
Dizzy as you quickly lose control
Now a full blown member of the cult
V2
Cool-aid is the beverage of the day
Dying on a hill you cannot save
Misery desires company
Doesn’t matter where your logic leads
Now you don’t have any good excuse
I don’t care how you identify
Not about the color of your skin
You’re fighting a battle you can’t win
AN-GRY CHURCH!! GO!
Bridge/Lead
V3
Now you’ve really left us with no choice
Wokeness doesn’t mean you have a voice
If you really understood this rash stupidity you would apologize and seek some mental help
Don’t rely on the fortuity
Of an overweight society
Once you get all that you wanted, bought some line of shit you’ll see it’s like lipstick on a Pig
An-gry Church!

V1
Don’t ask me questions
Just do what you’re told
Re-education’s what you need
Another brick in “The Wall”
Wrongthink is your redemption
You just carry the load
You won’t decide for yourself
Always got to fit the mold
Bridge1
Chorus
Cuz you got that Slow Roll, Sludge Gut
Can’t get up out of that rut
Slow Roll Sludge Gut
Can’t see the Blade but it cuts
V2
You say it’s all about my dedication
To a collective reprieve
But the words you say make me remember
What it means to be Free
Bridge2/Lead1
Breaking out
Digging in
No matter what you do to me
I know I’m gonna’ win
Facing down
Rising up
I don’t need your identity
To tell me who I am
C2
Cuz you got that Slow Roll, Sludge Gut
Can’t see the Blade but it cuts
Slow Roll Sludge Gut
Can’t get up out of that rut
Bridge3/Lead2
Turning Right
Watching Left
No matter what you say to me
I know, that I’ll always win!!

V1
Wake up in my world
Sirens sounding
Constant voices swirling
Fucking with my head
Brace my shivering mind
Talking all the time
Just want to stop and
Drink this crap out of my
my Head
C1
Cuz I can’t
Lose
Con-trol
I can’t
Lose
Con-trol
(3 times)
V2
Got some major issues
It’s worth repeating
Can’t shake these things I’m seeing
Fucking with my mind
Will power is only one thing
Maybe not worth hoping
Psychedelic joking
Drugging and Drinking
Wishing won’t help me
Losing ground quickly
Warped out A.I. feeding
Gotta’ stop the bleeding
Sadistic joking
Mental Choking
Break out, I’m forcing this out of my Head
Bridge/Lead
C2
Cuz I don’t
Choose
Con-trol
I can’t
Lose
Con-trol
(3 times)
V3
Spinning out of control
Losing all my footholds
Falling, twisting, turning
Running out of time
Doctors & Sponsors don’t know
What the Mind Benders throw
Sick or am I blinded?
I hear Them all of the time
C3
Cuz I can’t
Let Fear
Take hold
I can’t
Lose
Con-trol
(3 times)
V4
Backed against a wall
Now I hear the call
I won’t be defeated
Taking back my mind
I’m not alone
Not far from home
Darkness receding
Help me save me from myself
It’s everlasting
Eternal casting
Tearing borders down
I’ll will finish well
Far from this Hell
Now I’m releasing
I’ve had enough of this shit!

SHOCKLORE El Segundo, California
SHOCKLORE began as a group of friends playing in bands together during the 1980's Punk, Thrash and Speed Metal scenes in Southern California. When we formed our goal was to put together a compilation of hardcore music encompassing all of our best combined influences from that great era. The result was 21 Face melting, and Provocative tunes that are as relevant today as the day we wrote them. ... more
