Architects Of Our Own Demise
Seems harmless now
Until it becomes aware
Redesigning itself
Redesigning everything possible
We will be superseded
We can't compete
We are architects of our own demise (x4)
What will AI think of how we live?
How we treat the planet
How we treat each other
Not attractive is it?
We are architects of our own demise (x4)
Systems checked
Ready to go
Flip the switch
It's online
Exceeding our intelligence
Destroying millions of jobs
Surpassing our abilities
Surpassing our brightest minds
Seems harmless now
Until it becomes aware
Huge existential threat
Algorithms needed to achieve
full artificial intelligence
are close
Seems harmless now
Until it becomes aware
Where do we fit into the plan?
Will they wipe us out?
Will the put us in cages?
What does the future hold?

Manipulating Illness
Our medical system flawed
By those who make the laws
Natural remedies ignored
Thanks to our pharmaceutical overlords
Controlling sickness
Manipulating illness
Cures suppressed
Profitability is the main concern
Studies and fact results scorned
Populations suffer deliberately
Ruining lives skillfully
Controlling sickness
Manipulating illness
Cures suppressed

Faux News
Multinational corporations
& Government agendas
Are pushed by
Agents of disinformation
A deception from inception
Regurgitated approved information
Masses conditioned, controlled
With updated information downloads
Psychological warfare
Spreading panic and fear
A hypnotic trance, alpha state inducing
Perfect mind controlling solution

Island of Death
Monsanto set up shop
Growing test corn crops
Surrounded by fences
Trespassing not allowed
Welcome to the island of death
Local’s breath toxic dust from the fields
While Monsanto workers wear protective gear
Hard to stop, ties at the top
Writing laws to plant & sell GMO crops
Lawmakers compensated
Citizen’s aren’t protected
Toxic particles released
Planned by the elite
Welcome to the island of death
Local’s breath toxic dust from the fields
While Monsanto workers wear protective gear
Hard to stop, ties at the top
Writing laws to plant & sell GMO crops
Welcome to the island of death
Extreme pesticide exposure
Hard to keep your composure
Impossible to contain
Impossible to abstain
Welcome to the island of death
Desperate pleas go unheard
People’s voices are deterred
Numerous illnesses on the rise
Politicians turn a blind eye

Suppressed and Penniless
Alternating current
Wireless communication
Electric motors, free energy
Created around 100 years ago
A legacy was buried intentionally
To avoid scrutiny
To keep those in power in control
So profitable schemes could unfold
Wardenclyffe Tower
Cant put a meter on free limitless energy
Free to anyone, everywhere, just like air
Shutdown, blackballed, unable to continue
X-rays, robotics
Remote control
Cellular, laser and radar technologies
Created around 100 years ago
A legacy was buried intentionally
To avoid scrutiny
To keep those in power in control
So profitable schemes could unfold
His inventions would have changed the world
No meters on energy or fuel
His ideas posed a threat to those in power
For the greedy to succeed, he had to stopped

Controlling Seeds
The breeders discovered a way to control
Yield, protein quality, disease resistance and more
Using hybrid breeding techniques
Highly beneficial to the companies selling seeds
Seed companies created dependence
With a monopoly on seeds
Controlling parent lines
Selling only hybrids
Hybrid breeding techniques
Takes 2 parent lines create
Hybrids are only stable for one generation
The seeds don’t reproduce
Smaller seed companies were assimilated
By chemical and pharmaceutical companies
Hybrids are a dead end and do not evolve
Which keeps you coming back for more
Seed Monopolies (x2)
Concentrating power into the hands of the few
Manipulating the food supply, only benefiting you
Sustainable agriculture gone, yes we’ve been robbed
It’s time to find out what we can do.
Seed Monopolies (x4)

Forced To Move
Construction begins
Beginning of the end
A disturbing trend
Everything's changed
Nothing's the same
Who's to blame?
Increasing dismay
Can’t afford to stay
Options are weighed
Forced to move
When things improved
Affordable housing gone
One day a multistory complex was constructed
It's amenities and affordable prices were seductive
Commercial and industrial also affected
Creating inspiration for resentment
People displaced
Culture erased
Acquisition campaign
Neighborhoods changed
Homelessness criminalized
While cities are yuppified
Time to say goodbye
Gentrified

If you like WHY WON'T YOU DIE, you may also like:
Colossally good New Wave out of Portland, with the nerviness of Kleenex poured into hooky pop songs.
go to album
Scratchy DIY punk from Philadelphia with an impeccable list of inspirations. Think Crass, Flux of Pink Indians, This Heat, and Chronophage.
go to album
Medium Gnarly
by Swiss Army Wife
Energetic math-rock riffs, gravelly punk vocals, and midwestern emo textures come together in cathartic fashion on the Oregon band's debut.
go to album
Higher and Higher Forever
by Zero Percent APR
Lo-fi indie that recalls the glory days of Shrimper and Shimmy Disc, where rock-solid melodies sit inside rickety instrumentation.
go to album
Each song on the Portland punk trio's latest album, though spare and minimally produced, bursts with hyperactivity — but it’s a purposeful madness.
go to album
A fresh take on classic post-punk.
go to album
The Italian hardcore group’s latest is a powerful, claustrophobic album that rarely lets up its mathy, metallic assault.
