about

Here's the 1st new FTM song in something like two years coming in at # 14 to celebrate 14 years of Fuck the Main$tream.. This song was a long time in the making as the drums were recorded way back in '08 in Kingsville,Tx. A guitar part was recorded in '11 in Beeville, Tx . The bass was done in late '13. Most of the guitar, vox, & samples were recorded Feb 11-13 2014 in College Station. This song is featured on the new record "Occupy Yourself". It is the 1st song to feature long time friend & collaborator Barragan on Bass. Enjoy?

lyrics

READY TO DIE
Words: Thompson / Music: A. Gonzales, Barragan, Ayala, Vasquez

Fall in line with the times
Sacrifice your free mind
The pain we feel is so real
We run & hide...
Sometimes we reflect
All we despise...
Turn the dial one past ten
Let's begin again...

Are you ready?
Let's get ready?
Ready to die!
Are you ready?
Let's get ready?
So Ready to die!

The words we say,
The things we do,
Seem to have no affect on anyone but you..
What good is everything,
When you're alone?
Greed called while you were in bed with lust.
The loss, the debt, the shame, no game.
Where's your star on the walk of fame?

Are you ready?
Let's get ready?
So Ready to die!
Are you ready?
Let's get ready?
So Ready to die!

Step into a lucid dream
The room I feel is a womb
Incubating my salivating mind...
Escape it looms in hollowed halls...
Floor boards creek,
As they take their final leap..
Hear not a peep,
Escape is they seek...
It's better to go out now,
Then to wait your turn?!?
No more pride,
Nothing to hide,
Why ask God anything???

SHOOT SHOOT – KILL KILL
Let's get ready to fry
SHOOT SHOOT – KILL KILL
We're so ready to die

Are you ready?
Let's get ready?
So Ready to die!
Are you ready?
Let's get ready?
Ready to die!

All the King's horses & all the King's men
Couldn't seem to put Humpty together again...
...Oh well...

SHOOT SHOOT – KILL KILL
Let's get ready to fry!!!
SHOOT SHOOT – KILL KILL
We're so ready to die!!!

Hang our lives on the line
We dangle ourselves by a thread
A pin – A needle in our arm
We're stuck floating in our inner dream...
