TRUST IN FIRE
Those banks tried to burn us
Robber barons of 2010
These foxes never forget
We’ll tunnel out the government
Once done and twice unsaid
They’ll burn us in our beds
No remorse and no regret
Trust in fire
Machine tried to ground me down
Gave me the run around
These foxes never sleep
History will not repeat
They tried to burn us out
We’ll burn them to the ground
Occupy the government
Trust in fire
I place my trust
Trust in us
in the US of we
I place my trust
Trust in us
in the US of we
I work for me
I believe in we
in the power to be
I place my trust
Trust in us
in the US of we
I place my trust
Trust in us
in the US of we
Those banks tried to burn us
Robber barons of 2010
These foxes never forget
We’ll tunnel out the government
Once done and twice unsaid
They’ll burn us in our beds
No remorse and no regret
Trust in fire!

ARAB SPRING
Reach for the skies
Into oblivion
Open their eyes
Brave young civilians
Reach for the skies
Beyond oblivion
Opening eyes
to turning millions
Through a cheap disguise
Blood is seeping
Still vermillion
Lightning gathers in the clouds
They cannot shoot each raindrop down
Cast lots. Choose chosen few
Pyramids turn upside down
Fruit cart vendors be renowned
Place bets. Pick your perfect few.
Lightning gathers in the clouds
they cannot shoot each raindrop down
Yet the storm still brews
Reach for the skies
Into oblivion
Open their eyes
Brave young civilians
Reach for the skies
Beyond oblivion
Opening eyesw
to turning millions
Through a cheap disguise
Blood is seeping
Still vermillion
Lightning gathers in the clouds
they cannot shoot each raindrop down
but the storm still brews

Dead to Me Now

DEAD TO ME NOW
I met you in a fairy tale
or maybe I was high
tried to make you wanna stay
to stay with me a while
You took me on a holiday
where all the sand was white
my inhibitions washed away
as i stared in your eyes
I laid in bed next to you
in an tanged web of lies
hearts pounding trembling
now blood runs from my eyes
die die die
why won’t you die
dead to me now
Reality was sinking in
Prepare me for what’s next
I looked thru your telephone
and I read all your texts
betrayal then consumed my life
and i read all the lies
blood rushing my beans and
to me you have died
die die die
why won’t you die
dead to me now

D.O.A.
WAITING FOR YOU
Right, I'm sitting here with a sharpened blade
Sitting here with a loaded gun
With my back to the sun
Just waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Right, I'm sitting here with a sharpened blade
Sitting here with a loaded gun
With my back to the sun
Just waiting for you
Waiting for you

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF ECONOMIC SANCTIONS
We all have a motive
What’s your fuckin motive?
What’s your role in control
In a land you have no vote in
Half a million children dead
Albright said it’s worth it
Consequence
Self defense
Boil over
Blowback
Global Blowback in your face. Human Race
Global Blowback
When all is lost at a human cost there’s nothing to gain, nothing to lose
All is lost at a human cost. Nothing left to fucking lose
Your family. Your friends. Your life. Your means.
Your possessions. Your pride. Your ideologies.
When you pay with your life, what are you affording?
Residual embargoes are a message we’re deporting
Palaces are stiffed with lies
Rotting bodies breeding flies
Dictators will still ignore
While sanctions crush the people’s lives
Global Blowback in your face. Human Race
Global Blowback
When all is lost at a human cost there’s nothing to gain, nothing to lose
All is lost at a human cost. Nothing left to fucking lose

We’ve got our demands
Assemble all your NERV
Revolution is at hand
The laissez faire
Economy don’t have your back
Rich subsidies

This world is nobody’s but ours
We can build another way
Start the Revolution
Join the Revolution
Fight the Revolution
Win the Revolution

Preventing more catastrophe
Share the wealth
A grassroots up economy
Divest from crude
Repeal corporate personhood
It’s time to revolt!

RIOT CROP
Break out Scratch up through the scorched earth’s crust
Hungry for Light, starving cracked seed, doused by greed
Disfigured Mutilated strain bread away from grain
Evil humans, spreading disease, a rampage of maladies
Riot Crop root out the round up Riot Crop
Riot Crop get it from the ground up Riot Crop [x2]
Violent departure
Evolutions stepdaughter’s heirlooms stripped away
Repressed reproductive depletion
Jailed cells bound in chains
Leaves of dominion
Ache for sun
Gassed by chloroform
Sewing rows of dissidence
Harvesting the resistance
Riot Crop root out the round up Riot Crop
Riot Crop get it from the ground up Riot Crop [x2]
Seeing double We’re in trouble Where are all the bees?
Sick and starving Growing nothing Agent of deceit
Food went digital Lost the original Forgot to save the seed
NERV damage Bovine wreckage Chemicasualties
No! Stop Monsanto!
Cross scarred barren fields
of labor’s bygone yields
Dry wings of death bear the husks
Swords plowshares killed
Dusters crash Dusters burn
Spurring earth abortions
Petrol subsides nitrates return
soil’s base intentions
Riot Crop root out the round up Riot Crop
Riot Crop get it from the ground up Riot Crop [x2]
Seeing double We’re in trouble Where are all the bees?
Sick and starving Growing nothing Agent of deceit
Food went digital Lost the original Forgot to save the seed
NERV damage Bovine wreckage Chemicasualties
No! Stop Monsanto!
By the time it was evident
Kraft foods was president
Obese gods gutted each other
The condition was permanent
Fake nutrition supplements
the only life supporters
Soil leeched of Minerals
Diminished residuals
Monocrop ruled supreme
High fructose corn bullets
Rained on the innocent
Elements turned enemy
Secretive GMOs
Blocked all the exit holes
Soylent replaced any green
Infertile fertilizer
was all that we paid for
with the soul of the future
Sparrows to gallows
the land all laid fallow
left for the love of no other
Bury the patents
Uproot the unnatural
for the love of your mother

CHUNK
You see it
You want it
You try it
You like it
You buy it
and throw it away
Yea we’re all deserving
of second hand servings
You covet today
tomorrow’s cliche
Shiny brand new piece of shit
Mass produced replicate
Use a new one every day
Come on now hit it boys.
You can’t throw me away.
There is no away.

PSYCHO EXES
All of your exes are psycho
and guess who made them so
but I’ll never be another beautiful freak
in your twisted circus side show
Psycho
All of your exes are psycho
and guess who made them so
but I’ll never be another beautiful freak
in your twisted circus side show
Psycho
Im not a little doll in your dollhouse
not a puppet on a string
Im not some cardboard girl inside your fucked up world
Im not your plaything
I’ll come out and play with you
But Im not your plaything

The NERV San Francisco, California
A new generation of Punk is rising, infused with what originally made Punk Rock great –raw power, combined with a socially
conscious worldview. Fronted by powerful female vocals, The NERV packs a punch with their heavy, driving beats and brutal, in-your-face instrumentation combined with provocative lyrical content.
If politics has got you down, The NERV is an anecdote.
