Lyrics to We Will Expire

1. We're All Just Immigrants
So they say / kick 'em out! / What the fuck do you think / we all came from? / What the fuck / So they say / No one pays / They just hate / We're all just hypocrites / CHORUS: They take the child! / and leave her motherless / Blamed for a crime! / the companies don't pay / don't pay / So they say / they say / fuck! / We're to pay / to pay / for what!? / Tell me / who do we pay to wipe their ass / who do they think / to keep their class / their motherfucking class / their class / elitist fucking ass / so you say / we're all just immigrants / so face / yourself / so face / yourself / yourself / - /

2. Lust for Love
Yeah! / yeah! / 'Trading love for lust' / Does it feel like we're changing? / we're losing touch / Does it feel what we're getting? / is never enough / Doesn't feel like we're grateful / for much at all / Does it feel like we're choosing / lust over love / She's on her knees praying for some! / Absolution prays that it comes / CHORUS: Justice! / Does not / does not / know us / know you / at all / In God / we trust / we trust no one / but ourselves / we fall apart / - Does it feel like we're faking the love for us? / Does it feel we're decaying? / we turn to rust / Does it feel like we're hiding / our lack of trust / Does it feel like we're choosing lust over love / Lust over love! / love! / love! / He's on his knees praying for some / Absolution prays that it comes / We fall apart / we fall! / - /

3. Not Right
I feel that we got stuck / in ourselves somehow / again! / Selfish and self-absorbed / Do you like the sound? / of that! / Do you feel the shame? / CHORUS: Everyday that passes by / No one cares who really dies / I feel that's just not right / Everyday that passes by / more and more are left to die / I feel not right! / Do you feel the same? / Can't help but feel / we lost / all our chances to win / the race! / Can you help me / to find / the key to sal... / vation! / So put yourself in their / position! / Did you find / everything you wanted to find? / I doubt it / - /

4. Before We Go
Yeah! / When it all goes down / who's to blame? / Yeah! / When the world falls down / who's ashamed? / No! It's not the boss / who holds the crown / No! It's you goes down / we both just drown / CHORUS: Yeah, you know they'd love for us to never be changed / to cut the wire and play it safe / But blow it all to hell and let it be known / that we'll never go and fold / - Yeah! / When they need you now / they track you down / Yeah! / When you need some help / They let you drown / No! / there's no way out / when you listen to them / No! / it's up to us to make it right / to make it / right! / right! / Before we go / we're gonna make it right / after the smoke clears / and the dust settles / we'll leave our mark / tonight / - /

6. Lost His Head
Fuck this shit / on the road / mines abound / all over / might as well / pass me the / gun I'll do / this myself! / CHORUS: Did you lose your head again? / Just breathe in / Do you find yourself a wreck? / Just breathe out / Did you throw yourself away? / Don't give in / Don't ya know we're all insane? / Don't give up / - (losing my fucking mind!) / Heroes / fall down / we just let them fall down / we just let them fall down / we just let them fall! / Fuck this shit! / I'm so gone / I'm so lost / I am done / Broken lands / broken souls / now way out / only war! / only war / only / fuck! / - /

7. This Is It
Saturation has come! / you'll find it everywhere / stories that mean nothing / to anyone / or do they? / so who's to blame? / we feel it consuming us / we have to move / CHORUS: Now! / Push! / 'we've been sleeping for far too long' / our time has come / this is it! / take it back / 'cause it won't be long / before we're stuck / and time runs out / haven't / we tasted / something / more to life? / - we're wasting our time / we're wasting our / time / has come! / the solution is us / and no one else / it doesn't take much / to let them know / all you need / is to tune them / out! / we've been sleeping for far too long / our time has come / we have to move / 'seems like today in the media who cares about sideshow freaks it's like a broken fucking record player playing the same shit over and over again' / Nothing makes much sense! / does it to you?! / does it to ... / you! / - /

8. Unity Bombs
So addicted / to the endless circling media whores / so convincing / when all they do are shows on whores / yeah! / say it with me / this / time we stand / this time we fight and / CHORUS: Unity! / will be our saving grace / Unity! / and justice once and for all / - yeah! / say it with me / scream it with me / seems like a reason / is way past us all by now / by now / seems like a reason / is way past us all / by now / Unity bombs! / So complacent / in a world we're born to fuck / So adjacent / to something we could have done / to something / we could have done / do something! / - /

Save my place! / On my way / Next in line / On our way / Under a red sky / CHORUS: We got a problem / We got a problem! / They got no answers! / They got no answers! / We got a talk show! / We got a talk show now! / Follow the leader / The leader leads you down! / - All I'll say! / Is just to pray / But not like that! / So save yourselves / Under a red sky / I do admit / I must confess / I will reveal / We must rebel / Against a world / That might have gone insane / Are we to blame / Who's left to blame? / - /

11. No Place Like Home
CHORUS: This place is hollow / like the soul / of a killer / this place is lacking / all control / like a sinner yeah / It'll swallow you whole! / - It'll swallow you whole / He didn't know what to expect / but he found / bodies / lying / families / dying! / 'Well would you look at that? Dying all around, but you're safe at home and I'm safe at home smoking a butt, (fuck) / feel so helpless / I feel so, feel so ... / - /

12. At The Edge of it All
Razing everything in sight / meant for a secret lost in time / lead them here / no one's asking why / CHORUS: Make way for the new utopia / blind them all to see the light / an end for everyone to say / something so beautiful / watch the sunrise / in the black of night / after the end has come / feel the empty streets / as we both walk on / - One hope / held inside machines / in a city / built for them to breathe / don't stop now / for a day after tomorrow / tomorrow x3 / At the edge of it all / at the risk of falling off / forever / at the edge of it all / so who's to blame / come face your fate / - /

13. Nuclear Football
When we start looking forward / it seems we're moving backwards / I'm tired of a pending tragedy so... / CHORUS: Now that I've got ya here! / What are we waiting for? / oh! / Killing this time of year / I just expected more / oh! / - As the world's looking onward / It comes down to one person / I just don't think that I can sit by and watch him / We'll find a way / a different way / We'll find a way! / to a better place / We'll find a way / to a better place / yeah... / - /

14. V is for Victory
Yeah! / Go! / It's time to ride at 8 am / Give me some time I need a bit / to settle down then saddle up / then saddle up / then saddle up / No reason why to stick around / this town is dead / the mission's / far away from here / take what you can / and leave the rest behind / no turning back / we're off to make it / CHORUS: We'll! / find our way out now / we'll! / find our place somehow / - yeah! / V is for victory! / So stick around and watch the race / or come on down and strap on in / I need some fuel you'll do just find / you'll do just fine / you'll do just fine / the end of the world! / don't really know / but what I know is that we / keep on blazing on / because you know / - /

15. Left Behind
Remember us as we were / You know he's not coming home / Tomorrow's already gone / Stuck in this war, fuck! / Never mind for the cause / he's already fucked it up / We're leaving it up to you / Avenge the innocent! / CHORUS: Held up his arms / to the sky! / Hands outstretched / left behind! / - This world's fueled on war / mother nature quits / mankind's made a whore / we're a sinking ship / So what the fuck's really left ? / He's fatherless and he's ten / with a mother who works two jobs / and now you've got two wars! / So never mind for the cause / he's already fucked it up / We're leaving it up to you / Avenge the innocent! / - /

THE NOISE (BOSTON) CD REVIEW

US VERSUS THEM
UVT Records
We Will Expire
16-song CD
I like to listen to the music first, and then the vocals affect me later even if the vocals come in a couple seconds after the music. Upon hearing the first track (in what an album I suppose belongs to the thrash genre) I fondly recalled my days listening to Metallicas And Justice For All when it was new. Us Versus Them (from Winthrop) has tight arrangements as heavy, dense and cold as the barren broken seawalls on Short Beach. The vocalisms are good, with actual Hetfield-ish singing mixed in with the screamo timbres I first heard when discovering Cannibal Corpse back in 1993. Ill put on a favoritism that could only be gotten from growing up in and around Boston (Im from Revere originally); I always thought that the North Shore guys had better taste and delivery in any kinds of metal. The South Shore was more of a girl-band, wimped out scene. Take sides! (Mike Loce)
