Lyrics:

1. The Suffering Class (intro)

2. Trickle-Down Economics
Making policies in favor of the rich,
you mastered in deceiving and mocking at the people,
Human greed disguised as sheep,
Governments promoting economic inequality.
trickle-down your garbage,
the poor might find something
in the landfills,
because beholding your wealth
doesn't make our lives' quality better.

3. Free Market
You could even sell your soul if you had one
wood, oil, fruits, opioids, children, sex,
gold, water, air, human hearts, prostitutes,
PCB's, wives, slaves, dignities, carcinogens,
virginity, human wills, endangered species,...
great bussiness men.... tear their clothes,...
they still trade.

4. Massacred Proletarians
Strike to protest against abuses,
and outrages upon their dignity
hundreds of workers and trade unionists
are suppressed by military power
rights... neglected... disregarded... trampled
this systematic repression
has guaranteed them (corporations) for years
the highest profit possible
at the expense of just some...
massacred proletarians.

5. Globalizing Death
3rd world: the playground of tyrant corporations,
where any law can be transgressed,
and any war can be triggered at any time
where your factories of death can pollute freely
where the soil can bear any banned pesticide you produce
globalizing famine, globalizing poverty,
globalizing desertification, globalizing fucking death
we are your gold mine, your cheap labor,
your battlefield, your free ocean dumping,
you can enslave us as you wish,
and sell us as many weapons as you want,
you came, you saw, you exploited this land,
you polluted, you raped and took the wealth with you.

6. Bank Oligarchy
Centuries weaving a system of slavery,
economic dictators perpetuated,
(they) control governments, dictate endless wars
change countries' laws, at their will,
appropriating all the people's money
institutionalizing usury, individuals and nations
eternally enchained to the fetters of endebment.

7. Consumerism (Induced Social Coma)
The ruling class has imposed its will,
through mass media, by means of exclusion:
to possess or not to be,
missconceptions of basic need,
pollution misstaken as normality
a way of life settled in a pile of garbage
for an alienated society
that didn't learn to think for itself...
The capital is not to pay,
all the ecological damage,
caused by this induced social coma,
will we ever have consciousness?

8. The Necessary Poor
It doesn't matter how many studies they make about you,
It doesn't matter how much they seem to care,
It doesn't matter how much they speak of your
misserable condition,
The truth is they just need you to stay there
Begging for a job, at the lowest wage,
at the lowest dignity, in a saturated labour market
big corporations will always need overpopulated
3rd world countries,
so they can guarantee endless slave-like workers
yet we are the ones destined to consume the products
of our sweat and blood, by imposition ridiculously
overprized we are the ones deforming their bodies,
risking their lives, losing their seneses,
humiliating in order to preserver
a mean of subsistance, (for them) we have no value as
human beings, we are just replaceable parts of a machine,
pawns ready to be disposed,
it doesn't matter how concerned they seem to be,
they just need you like you are: Poor!

9. Bomb Based Democracy
Gather in the congress and judge internal affairs
and policies of a sovereign state
point with the finger on the charge of potential world
threat with not a valid argumentation
meanwhile the rest of the world washes its hands
with the opprobrious water of omission,
allowing the almighty tyrant to do what he wants
and let the bombing begins...
screams and cries and traumas, schools and hospitals
ablaze, orphan children, mutilated, dead, city-size cemeteries
disunion, migration, loos of values, perpetual hatred and wars
a culture buried by your democracy, bomb based democracy
now that you have proved yourself as the most powerful nation
imposing your democratic shit
destroying all the things we have lived and worked for
now that you control or natural resources
and own our national wealth
now that you took our homes, and beloved ones away,
how dare you to talk about peace?

10. Opium-Dollar
Poppy crops blowing as grenades
wind blowing the opium smoke
military chips supply heroin factories
backed up by the C.I.A.
wounded arms bleeding poison,
breath the hell, smoke of a burning nation,
poorer than ever, desecrated and raped
while your opium-dollar continues to buying this world.

11. Epidemic Terror
Acts of terror, panic spread
taming your people is your favorite business
dominated by fear they will obey
an entire nation at your command
that new disease will make you rich,
the anguish of your people is your favorite business
the W.H.O. won't think it twice
to release the funds on your dirty cause
terror is the epidemic they threw on us
no terrorist attack, no new disease,
just mass media spread fear.

12. Peace Corpse
The war is over in certain way
the U.N., peace corps and aid are here
invading to make every one of us
slaves of the greatest empire
no aids really came, but he disease
no peace corp ever did a good job
but the ones who came to make sure
that our rights were effectively buried.

13. Usurped States of America
Looted, abused and desecrated
Latin America still bleeds and convulses
after many centuries of massacres
annihilation, slavery and oppression
in modern history, the actors have changed
their procedures, their tactics, their ways to attack
but their aims are the same
to make us slaves of their economic empire
we, the natives from these lands
refuse to give up or give in
you, desecrators of our lands
shall abandon all your plans.
don't you dare to come to us
with your infamous FTA, your military bases
or your blood stained dollars
don't you dare to come back
unless you want to start a new conflict
we will fight, we will stand against your vile intentions
we will fight, we will defend our precious countries
we will resist, we will protect all of our treasures
we won't be anymore victims of your power.

14. Pile of Human Debris
Sounds of guns, wake them up in the night
run or death, you must to survive
screams of fear, hear the children crying
hell on earth, because they are dying
a fucking war, without any sense
change of mind, stop the unconsciousness
bloody crimes, against innocent kids
don’t believe, the mass media shit!
in Palestine there's a genocide
(Human Debris)
in Syria there's children homicides
(Human Debris)
in Yemen impose violence
(Human Debris)
in el Salvador reigns the disgrace
(Human Debris)
in Lybia the kids are condemned
(Human Debris)
in Sudan keep the intolerance
(Human Debris)
in Turkey there's military hits
(Human Debris)
welcome to the World War Third!
(Human Debris)
America is a pile of human debris
Africa is a pile of human debris
Middle East is a pile of human debris
the world is a pile of human debris.
