You think you’re fucking special?
You’re nothing but a link in the chain.
Another link in the chain.
A link in the chain of command.
Just another link in the chain.
Do you think you can handle…handle the weight of the chain?
Do you think you can handle the weight.
Don’t make me laugh!
….The weight of the chain.
The chain of command.
Do you think you can handle the weight?
Well you soon you will understand.
When it smashes into your skull.
You think you’re fucking special.
No you're not.
Can you take the weight?
It’s more than you can take.
I don’t think you can handle, the weight

Instantly vaporized.
No time to say goodbye.
Millions of people just trying to get by.
Millions of people just trying to live their lives.
Oh
Millions of people turned into piles of black sand
By political forces they don’t understand.
They don’t understand……agh!
No time for remorse. No time to say goodbye even if you could weep….the tears would be vaporized from your cheek
in the blink of an eye.
Yo!
Turned into piles of black sand.
By political forces they don’t understand.
No.

Yeah.
Those pills make me fucking sick.
Those pills make me fucking sick, so I spit them out.
You’ll never ever change me.
Those pills are a fucking joke.
So I hide the Zoloft and the Adderall underneath my tongue.
I spit them out at the bus.
I don’t wanna be a victim.
I don’t wanna be a victim of my own prescription.
Those quacks are addicted
To fixing the kind of shit that don’t need fixin.
I say I’m doing better.
Cuz I don’t wanna be trapped inside..
a prisoner inside of my own mind.
These quacks are addicted to fixing shit that don’t need fixing.
I say I’m doing better.
You say I’m doing well but I spit them out.
A victim of my own prescription.
Victim of my own prescription.
I won’t be a victim.
I don’t wanna ever be.
I won’t be a victim.
I don’t wanna be a victim of my own prescription.
A victim of my own prescription!

You never know what happening.
You can’t afford to know what’s going on.
Just another war.
A war against the poor.
Just another class war.
The kind you can’t afford.
You will never be able to buy your way in.
I knew about the virus two weeks before you.

Sitting here alone.
Sitting in my home.
Sitting on my throne.
That’s how I like it all alone.
I don’t have no family I ain’t got no friends.
That’s the way I like it I hope it never ever ends.
Well I hate life and I don’t like going outside.
I don’t like any kind of authority or anyone telling me what to do.
You’re trying too hard but I won’t move.
Staying in my home.
It feels so warm!
Oh! Oh no! oh no.
I’ve got to go.
Sitting in a room.
Sitting on my throne.
Lying in a room.
That feels good.
I ain’t got no family
I ain’t got not friends but I guess that’s just the way I like it.
I don’t feel so good though
…I got no friends or family. No ones checking up on me.
I guess that’s the way that it ends.
I’ve got no friends.
Dead//Alone.
In my own home.
Dead//Alone in my own home.
I got no friends or family.
No ones checking up on me.
Dead//Alone.
Dead//Alone in my own home.
Dead on my overgrown throne.
Dead//Alone in my own home
Dead//Alone on my overgrown throne
Dead//Alone in my own home
Dead//Alone.

The punk scene needs more of this. There are obvious comparisons to be had with Nausea and Sacrilege, but Flower stands on their own (and alone, currently) with this caustic, crusty, meaningful punk. Buy the LP/shirt bundle - it's a good price and you're supporting a good scene.
