Officer Oink 01:29
With his badge and uniform he thinks he can attack us Exploiting his authority; a blister covered phallus Cuff’s you cuz you’re poor and treats you condescendingly But if you’re an aristocrat, he just might set you free (Chorus) Officer Oink! “To protect and serve” You take away my rights with fear Can’t even say a word Officer Oink! You are street terrorizers Night clubs, guns, and strength in numbers It’s clear that you despise us If Mr. Smith is speeding, you will gladly take his bribe Juan Martinez can’t afford it; he’s locked up for life You’re bored and give out tickets cuz you want a fatter check You took the Hippocratic oath, but were soon to forget (Chorus) You really think your badge and sunglasses can intimidate us You use them as an excuse, so you can alienate us You don’t respect me cuz I’m young and have ecstatic hair Stopping all our fun, the laws you bend make life unfair (Chorus)

Mr. Paranoia 02:24
They're watching me! Cameras on the traffic light Always have him in their sights Looks behind his twitching shoulder The world gets worse as he gets older (Chorus) Mr. paranoia cuz they’re always on his back Mr. paranoia’s very sure he’ll be attacked Mr. paranoia’s being watched with such precision Mr. paranoia has his mental inhibitions Cars pass by him on the street He’ll be shot yes he believes Starts to walk a little faster Society’s made him a sick bastard (Chorus) I cant sleep, I cant eat, think too much, bite my lip! Locked himself inside the room They’re listening I wonder who The walls here are very thin There’s no escape they’re after him (Chorus) Mental inhibitions [x2]

Se Olvidaron 02:26
Han pasado cuatrocientos años desde que llegaron los peregrinos Antes eran tan humildes, Trabajando en una vida nueva para prosperar Parece que se olvidaron no los invitamos cuando huyeron su paiz de Inglaterra en depreción “¡Salvame!” “¡Aliméntame!” Es lo que gritaban y rezaban a su dios Ahora dime, Inglaterro, ¿quien es el verdadero inmigrante illegal que destruye tu paiz tan querida “America”? Quinientos años de genocidio y violación Nativa Han matado casi todo gente indígena de aquí Dime quien yo maté Nadie exepto el hambre en el estómago de mis hijos

Pink Eye 00:07
Pink eye Pink eye I will give you pink eye!

Mi Batalla 01:31
No nací de plata o privilegio Nunca conocí la riqueza heredada Una cultura de pobreza y sacrificio Es la calidad de vida en cual yo me creí (Coro) Es mi batalla, y lucharé Es mi batalla Dura realidad, sigo de frente y venzeré Papel higiénico se convierte en servilletas En las semanas siguientes en las noticias del día Inviernos fríos donde duermes con chiflón Al amanezer encuentras que te cortaron la agua caliente (Coro) Seria fácil decir que yo soy víctima Pero así se aprende sobrevivir deprivación Es la aventaja que tengo sobre gente Acustumbrado a lujos finos y la vida material (Coro)
7.
Thinking of my younger days Was it really simpler then? Just a fucked up mess (Chorus) Those days have passed [x2] Why isn't it Friday night? Who will buy my Miller Lite? Jobless and and so bored (Chorus) Now there's heat And no electricity to pay Earned my check But just as quickly drains away All this debt won't cease to accumulate This isn't life I wonder now Will I even eat?
8.
I signed on the line and threw away my life They gave me a gun They gave me a knife They taught me how to kill and they taught me how to hate Killing Machine [x4] Killing people I don't even know I was trained to give them that fatal blow Just take orders I don't ask Carry out my savage task Killing Machine decides your fate Get out of my way before it's too late Killing Machine [x4]
9.
Whenever I get money I drink it all away I hear outside it's sunny But all I see is grey (Chorus) Under the gun Down for the count Fall on the floor with a fifth and an ounce [x2]

about

Generation Advert defines an age in which the bombardment of mass media and advertisement has grown to be inescapable throughout our lifetime. Much of mainstream media and advertisement has served as a tool to manipulate public opinion as well as to remind us to continually consume in order to satisfy whichever manufactured needs lacking in our lives. This "generation advert" simply points out this growing social phenomena which has commonly created a generation (as well as future generations) of apathetic and compliant individuals that wouldn't dare to oppose the status quo. These same mainstream media entities aim at misinforming the public on certain national or world wide issues to make us believe that "we", the U.S., are always the "good guy" when entering wars or when invading other countries. Ultimately, this is all systematic with intentions of creating its people too dumb to think for themselves and too docile to revolt. Get informed. Resist consumer fetishism. Stay out of order.
