VICIOUS CIRCLE
Reflections Lyrics

COMMON DENOMINATOR
A gaze through bloodshot eyes
Waste not, want not lies
When did you begin to realize?
Earth's a dying enterprise
Food chains breeding worker ants
Don't put yourself in their ands
Into their plans
Get outta there man!

Chorus:
Common Denominator
Common Denominator
Common Denominator
Common Denominator

Tourist resort in the amazon river
Aids infect our race
Newspapers reveal the latest scoops
Reagan's brains have flown the coop
It's time to change this place
Arrange our ways
We'd better stop before it's too late
We're going nowhere at this rate

(Chorus)

Supermarkets of oil
Bids for soil
Luxury for you
If you happen to be royal
Wombs torn
It's a ring of thorns
Kids brought up
On the edge of this storm
Implements and tools
Tilt the scales
Beating on seals
Carving up whales
Sick, sick tales
Sick, sick tales

(Chorus)

What the heck is going on?
Espionage in your living room
We built a custom-made tomb
Can't laugh when you see you're facing doom
Singing a hideous type of tune
Suddenly falls a misty type of gloom
This Common Denominator
Is a Common Denominator
This Common Denominator
Is a Common Denominator

In forces
For
Global Domination


PERSONALITY CRISIS
Sometimes I'm wondering
I want to find myself
I'm feeling so confused
Looking for a way out

Chorus:
Personality (x4)
Personality Crisis

It's like solving a puzzle
Or getting cauught in a maze
I look in a mirror
And I'm in a blind haze

(Chorus)

In a state of confusion
You've got to sort yourself out
Find! Search for the solution
And work your problems out
Let's work our problems out

(Chorus)

Picking up the pieces of your life
Looking towards the brighter side
Why should I keep myself confined?
Simply, I just won't subside

(Chorus)


REFLECTIONS
Reflections need no spoken words
When they come from your conscience
It's opening a frame of mind
You see beyond and look behind
These images seem to carry on
Even after you think they've gone

Chorus:
Turn a page of history
Turn a page of life
It's more than mere existance
When you reflect life

Reflections making you laugh
From journeys that have passed
They can furnish future dreams
When situations aren't what they seem
Don't waste the years as they go by
Love and Wisdom aren't virtues you buy

(Chorus)

Reflections from current situations
Ever thought about the building aggrevation
The barriers between the nations
Brought on by one way negotiations
Our evolution can be erased
If we blow it, we know what we face

(Chorus)

Reflections can enhance the heart
Memories can sometimes play a part
So if you're locking the doorway
You'll never find a way
To say just what
You really want to say
So say it!

(Chorus)


PSEUDO GENOCIDE
Chorus:
And I'm just a speck on a lump of mud
Where do I fit into this massive charade?
Yell and ascrem as they laugh from above
In the concrete heavens sick plans are laid

Tri-lateral commission abusing my home
Business deals with the Club of Rome
Russian money fuels the Rockerfeller deram
The thrid world war isn't what it seems
Another Vietnam for the economy
Two foes to scare society
Playing the world like a fixed deck
The world banks keep this planet in check

(Chorus)

Governments are thugs of political warfare
The CIA watch with humourous stares
Such a game keeping people in line
Making people disappear isn't a crime
If living in hell can be called alive
An arena for those in power
To watch and lauugh as the innocent cower

(Chorus)

Dreams of glory for those in battle
Led to the slaughter - righteous cattle
Hyped nationalism, the frenzy of war
The families in power control the score
Industriealize some, kill the rest
Pseudo Genocide always works the best
Sugar coated corruption always works so well
The mad pied pipers leading the sheep to hell


MASS CONFUSION
Governments rearrange the shape of thought
Countries divide, 'cos they've been bought

Brought up in a world
That still confuses me
By the hatred I see
Constantly

It seems to grow in many ways
Ever found yourself living day to day
How can people be proud of disgrace?

I'm sick and tired
Of the state
Vindictive bastards
They love to hate
Just to save the anger they create

The law holds no justice
When they seal your fate
Corporate criminals
That control the state

Haunted eyes
Inside my head
Hatred bred into generations
Lives are led
In constant frustration
No doubt
In this day and time
Where people are employed
To commit crime
Does the riht amount of confusion
Help to pass the time?

Barriers make it harder
For you and for me
Don't be kept in darkness
By what you can't perceive

Open your eyes
And look straight ahead
You'd better wake up
Before - You're dead (x4)


DOUBTFUL SEASON
Sights of the capitalist gentlemen
Are zeroing in on you
Grouping togehter like cultures
To take what they can from you
Mental walls of agony
Commanding rules of the company

Doubtful Season
The eyes of treason
Need for reason
In the doubtful season (x2)

A forest of life is growing
To be cut down
Calves are being murdered
In virile town
The profits reek of genocide
Greed is the means
Which they provide

Doubtful Season
Lies for reason
Fabricated treason
In the doubtful season (x2)

The basis for this history
Seems to be pure misery
Such horrible consistancy
Corruption can appear instantly
So pull the covers up
Right over your head

Doubtful Season
Is this season
Where fatal truths
Show the reasons
HOPE AND WAIT
Hope is something that you cling to
A sense that propels you
Antiicipating it might come true
In a world run by recycled views
This world keeps spinning
'Round and 'round
If I'm so lost, tell me
What you've found, you've found

Chorus:
HOPE deeper than a glance
HOPE chance in an instance
HOPE learning how to cope
Don't be on the end
Of a burning rope

Terror parades itself everyday
When you're part of the prey
What are you up against?
Do your ideals provide defence?
While militant idealists
Keep striving and driving
For a more hostile sense

(Chorus)

It's an attitude, an exhibition
Not having to standerdize
Your own condition
A feeling called willingness
Or indisposition
It's all up to you
If you want to listen

HOPE AND WAIT
Wanting to live
Wanting to create
It's never too late
Stop boiling that hate
NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW!
HOPE! HOPE! HOPE! HOPE!


UNDER THE SURFACE
I know of a place
That exists within me
Where I can be happy
And not bottle up what I see

Standing on my own ground
Ground that is firm
Where I can balance emotions
And be strong and stern

Though it's not permanant
It could never be
To always be happy
Just wouldn't be me

I've loved and hatted
Torn myself in two
I've learnt through experience
Time's value is the clue

You'd take away my life
That's just what you'd do
No time for complications
While venomous hearts brew

I am my own self
Can't take that from me
My mind is my own
No part of the bureaucrats plea

I'll take no part
In serving god and country
Faces behind doors
Planning more conspiracy

Faces come and faces go
I just can't play the part
In your decaying show
Simply I'll reply No, No, NO, NO, NO!!!

YOU SHALL REAP WHAT YOU SOW


ONE MORE STEP
One more step
One more step
Walking through this suburb
No chance that we'd meet
The smoke stacks, they bellow out
As I pass through narrow streets
I realize what surrounds me
And the reasons seem so clear
The bluntness of this situation
A curfew caused by fear

Chorus:
I guess I started thinking
It's not that hard
When you've taken all that you could

What confrontation brings priority
An array of problems
That affect our prosperity
A spawn of turbulence emerges
When a person objects
Have you ever been labelled?
I guess we all have
Without a doubt
Judgement is laid out

(Chorus)

Why is it so imminent
Wome people
Will never be albe
To sit down and talk?

You take two more steps
You're going one step backwards
Think you're going somewhere
When you struggle to go forwards
If it's answers you want
Why don't you look at yourself?
Everyone needs peace of mind
To understand themselves

(Chorus)

One more, just one!
One More Step
One more, just one!
ONE MORE STEP!!


POLICE BRUTALITY
Police brutality what are they trying to prove?
Law enforcers for the privileged few
Senses of justice left behind
They'll take away whoever they find

Chorus:
Down the Cells
Police Brutality
Down the Cells
It's another casualty

Tonight I heard they arrested someone
Beat him to death, sadistic fun
They simply took away his right to live
Brutality is what they give

(Chorus)

Down the cells, they went too far
Police Bruutality made another scar
Another death - it's just a game
I can't understand why nothing's changed


BROADCAST OF TERROR
Tell me about your world
Does everyone wear a smile?
Has life a certain type of style?
While you're here it's best
If you make it all worthwhile
Don't step on me
Or place me on your used file

Chorus:
Broadcast of terror
Time turns you on
The savage jaw
Has made its bond (x2)

Part of a select few
Segregation is nothing new
Trust in the face of deceit
Harsh reality tears at sanity
When your world revolves
On an abuse of vanity

(Chorus)

So your defences are raised higher
As your empire begins to collapse
Falseness once hidden, hides no more
Because you've been caught in a trap
Who were you aiming to please?
When you spread divisions - like disease
Like disease
Like disease . . . . . . .

(Chorus)

You've always got it all worked out
Why don't you stop and think
It's a case of blind obedience
Use your initiative and think
This broadcast destroys individuality
And replaces it with its own mentality

What will you accomplish?
What will you achieve?
Feed off someone's ignorance
With a nice "Yes Sir, Please!!"


INSIDE OPERATION
Inside operation
We know about communication
We've got all kinds of relations
And we make sure about instigation
It only takes a short duration

Inside operation
Leave for your destination
Soldiers of no fortune
Bought infiltration
For a rich man's killing operation
Rambo Church is here
The rates are very clear

Chorus:
Commando for hire
Hear the ring of gunfire
Get paid and you'll kill
It's no cheap thrill

With all these pro-patriotic films
That destroy any chance for peace
You push violence down peoples' throats
And promote the ultimate defeat

(Chorus)

Come out from your darkness
Life yourself from this mess
Ideas put across to creat stress
It hampers world peace - this aggressiveness

Commando for hire
Rambo's Church is filled
With gunfire
Get paid and you'll kill
It's no cheap thrill
