Lyrics

Block

[Intro]

Block!

Block!

Block!

[Verse 1]

Hate breeds hate, my eyes they have seen

The decimation of all that is pure, pure

A system that feeds their machine with

The blood, sweat and money of the poor, poor

Corruption gets rich, honesty just exists

'Cause nobody cares anymore, anymore

Fuck it all!

Fuck it all!

[Refrain]

Block!

Block!

Block!

[Verse 2]

White attack black, black attack back

The fucking media keeps us all blind, blind

Children on crack, junkies on smack

You wanna close your eyes to hide, hide

Pollution so dense, sickening existence

New world order, new world decline, decline

Fuck it all!

Fuck it all!

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

The more intense the sense of ignorance

The more intense then is the pain

The more intense the sense of ignorance

The more intense then is the pain

The more intense the sense of ignorance

The more intense then is the pain!

[Refrain]

Block!

Block!

Block!

[Verse 3]

Hate breeds hate, my eyes they have seen

The decimation of all that is pure, pure

A system that feeds their machine with

The blood, sweat and money of the poor, poor

Believe in something if it stops your suffering

'Cause all we have is nothing, nothing

Fuck it all!

Fuck it all!

[Outro]

The more intense the sense of ignorance

The more intense is the pain

The more intense the sense of ignorance

The more intense is the pain

Fuck it all!

Fuck it all!

Fuck it all!

Fuck it all!
