[00:08.15][Intro, sounds of hospital or office]
[00:09.64][Whistling, door opening. Television news playing.]
[00:25.56] Woman: It's ten minutes past curfew, why are you still up? Hello? Hello?
[00:35.33] Perhaps you need another shot
[00:38.37][Man grunting]
[00:42.37]Woman: That should do it. [Television clicks off.]
[00:51.00] Woman: Sweet dreams, you bastard
[00:55.04] 1. I Remember Now
[00:58.92] I remember now
[01:01.71] I remember how it started
[01:06.05] I can't remember yesterday
[01:09.76] I just remember doing what they told me told me told me
[01:18.96] 2. Anarchy X
[01:22.23][Instrumental]
[01:47.32] Dr. X:
[01:47.58] "Do we have freedom? Do we have equality? This country's changing!
[01:56.92] It is no longer for all of the people! It is for some of the people!"
[02:09.65]
[03:16.39] 3. Revolution Calling
[03:31.84] For a price I'd do about anything
[03:34.16] Except pull the trigger
[03:35.94] For that I'd need a pretty good cause
[03:39.49] Then I heard of Dr. X
[03:41.43] The man with the cure
[03:43.93] Just watch the television
[03:45.41] Yeah, you'll see there's something going on
[03:51.30] Got no love for politicians
[03:53.40] Or that crazy scene in D.C.
[03:55.65] It's just a power mad town
[03:58.86] But the time is ripe for changes
[04:00.86] There's a growing feeling
[04:03.06] That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due
[04:07.52] I used to trust the media
[04:09.90] To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
[04:14.18] But now I've seen the payoffs
[04:16.67] Everywhere I look
[04:18.40] Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?
[04:21.95] Revolution calling
[04:24.21] Revolution calling
[04:26.03] Revolution calling you
[04:29.71] (There's a) Revolution calling
[04:31.88] Revolution calling
[04:34.11] Gotta make a change
[04:35.67] Gotta push, gotta push it on through
[04:45.38] I'm tired of all this bullshit
[04:47.55] They keep selling me on T.V.
[04:50.02] About the communist plan
[04:53.36] And all the shady preachers
[04:55.50] Begging for my cash
[04:57.36] Swiss bank accounts while giving their
[05:00.16] Secretaries the slam
[05:01.58] They're all in Penthouse now
[05:03.39] Or Playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell
[05:08.71] I guess Warhol wasn't wrong
[05:10.66] Fame fifteen minutes long
[05:12.82] Everyone's using everybody, making the sale
[05:17.24] I used to think
[05:18.35] That only America's way, way was right
[05:24.24] But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives
[05:28.07] Gotta make a million doesn't matter who dies
[05:32.09] Revolution calling
[05:34.05] Revolution calling
[05:35.88] Revolution calling you
[05:39.46] (There's a) Revolution calling
[05:42.10] Revolution calling
[05:44.16] Gotta make a change
[05:45.73] Gotta push, gotta push it on through
[05:53.17][Guitar solo]
[06:19.59] I used to trust the media
[06:22.27] To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
[06:26.58] But now I've seen the payoffs
[06:28.68] Everywhere I look
[06:30.62] Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?
[06:34.29] Revolution calling
[06:36.36] Revolution calling
[06:38.24] Revolution calling you
[06:41.64] (There's a) Revolution calling
[06:44.62] Revolution calling

[06:50.61] Revolution calling
[06:52.13] Revolution calling
[06:54.29] Revolution calling you
[06:57.38] (There's a) Revolution calling
[06:59.63] Revolution calling
[07:02.24] Gotta make a change
[07:03.46] Gotta push, gotta push it on through
[07:12.63]

[12:05.93][Shouted over loud mob]
[12:06.84] Nikki: Hey! Hey! Listen to me!
[12:10.94]
[12:31.10] They've given me a mission
[12:32.73] I don't really know the game yet
[12:35.81] I'm bent on submission
[12:37.60] Religion is to blame
[12:40.29] I'm the new messiah
[12:42.08] Death Angel with a gun
[12:44.76] Dangerous in my silence
[12:46.82] Deadly to my cause
[12:48.39] Speak to me the pain you feel

[13:01.09] The word is all of us
[13:03.16] I've given my life to become what I am
[13:07.03] To preach the new beginning
[13:09.12] To make you understand
[13:11.50] To reach some point of order
[13:13.60] Utopia in mind, you've got to learn
[13:16.92] To sacrifice, to leave what's now behind
[13:19.63] Speak to me the pain you feel
[13:28.70] Speak the word
[13:32.62] The word is all of us
[13:37.67] Speak the word
[13:41.70] The word is all of us
[13:46.18] Seven years of power
[13:47.79] The corporation claw
[13:50.08] The rich control the government, the media the law
[13:54.46] To make some kind of difference
[13:56.51] Then everyone must know
[13:58.82] Eradicate the fascists, revolution will grow
[14:07.83][Guitar solo]
[14:34.03] The system we learn says we're equal under law
[14:37.67] But the streets are reality, the weak and poor will fall
[14:41.80] Let's tip the power balance and tear down their crown
[14:46.06] Educate the masses, We'll burn the White House down
[14:49.69] Speak to me the pain you feel
[14:58.39] Speak to me the pain you feel
[15:07.02] Speak the word (Revolution)
[15:12.30] The word is all of us

[15:39.38] The word is all of us
[15:49.34] SPEAK!!!
[15:54.62] 6. Spreading the Disease
[16:00.95]
[16:22.36] She always brings me what I need
[16:26.97] Without I beg and sweat and bleed
[16:31.90] When we're alone at night
[16:33.86] Waiting for the call
[16:35.73] She feeds my skin
[16:41.54] Sixteen and on the run from home
[16:46.99] Found a job in Times Square
[16:48.68] Working Live S&M shows
[16:51.34] Twenty-five bucks (a fuck)
[16:53.42] And John's a happy man
[16:56.39] She wipes the filth away
[16:57.97] And it's back on the streets again
[17:04.86] Spreading the disease
[17:08.58] Everybody needs
[17:13.90] But no one wants to see
[17:19.72] Father William saved her from the streets
[17:24.77] She drank the lifeblood from the saviour's feet
[17:29.87] She's Sister Mary now, eyes as cold as ice
[17:34.85] He takes her once a week
[17:37.00] On the alter like a sacrifice
[17:43.21] Spreading the disease
[17:47.48] Everybody needs
[17:52.23] But no one wants to see
[17:54.61][Guitar solo]
[18:20.56] Religion and sex are powerplays
[18:22.95] Manipulate the people for the money they pay
[18:25.33] Selling skin, selling God
[18:27.68] The numbers look the same on their credit cards
[18:35.17] Politicians say no to drugs
[18:37.75] While we pay for wars in South America
[18:44.81] Fighting fire with empty words
[18:47.28] While the banks get fat
[18:48.53] And the poor stay poor
[18:49.87] And the rich get rich
[18:51.00] And the cops get paid
[18:52.13] To look away
[18:53.26] As the one percent rules America
[18:57.94] Spreading the disease
[19:02.67] Everybody needs
[19:07.07] But no one wants to see
[19:12.27] The way society
[19:17.29] Keeps spreading the disease
[19:40.45] 7. The Mission
[19:47.22][Intro]
[20:02.72][Television, spoken. Church bell rings throughout intro.]
[20:04.40] Broadcaster: ...a technical violation of the 1972 ABM Treaty...
[20:05.73][Channel changes.]
[20:17.20] Preacher: ...I'm asking for hands to be uplifted for just a moment. God the Holy Ghost is calling out to embrace you
[20:18.28][Pistol being loaded and cocked.]
[20:19.44] I want you to reach deep into your hearts and your pocketbooks, and take his hand
[20:20.54] Some of you are in a state of rebellion right now
[20:22.67][Spoken] Bless me, Father, for I have sinned
[20:25.46] You're saying that...
[20:26.10][Gunshot, television shatters.]
[20:28.13]
[20:38.42] In the wooden chair
[20:40.23] Beside my window
[20:43.31] I wear a face born in the falling rain
[20:48.44] I talk to shadows from a lonely candle
[20:53.20] Recite the phrases from the wall
[20:57.08] I can't explain this Holy pain
[21:19.45] Six days ago my life had taken a tumble
[21:24.72] The orders came from high above they say
[21:30.10] A need to use me once again they've got my number
[21:35.11] Further the cause boy yes you know the game
[21:39.64] I'll wait here for days longer
[21:45.49] Till the sister comes to wash my sins away
[21:50.12] She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
[21:56.41] She brings the only friend
[22:01.52] That helps me find my way
[22:11.09] I search the past back to a time
[22:13.12] When I was younger
[22:16.05] A target for the new society
[22:20.79] Picked to displace the leaders
[22:23.38] Countering objectives
[22:26.12] Of this new underground reality
[22:31.06] Waiting for days longer
[22:36.25] 'til sister comes to wash my sins away
[22:41.51] She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
[22:46.66] My love for her
[22:47.91] Will help me find my way
[22:52.08]
[22:55.42] My mission saved the world
[23:00.35] And I stood proud
[23:05.46] My mission changed the world
[23:11.20] It turned my life around
[23:23.07]
[24:03.50] I look around my room is filled with candles
[24:08.44] Each one a story but they end the same
[24:13.34] I'll hide away in here the law will never find me
[24:18.39] The walls will tell the story of my pain
[24:23.30] Waiting for days longer
[24:28.52] Till sister comes to wash my sins away
[24:33.55] She is the lady who can ease my sorrow
[24:38.63] She sets the pace for my delivery of pain
[24:43.89]
[24:46.65] They'll say my mission saved the world
[24:52.64] And I stood proud
[24:57.89] My mission changed the world
[25:03.16] The underground will rise and
[25:07.98] Save this world we'll all stand proud
[25:18.25] Our mission changed the world, we'll change the world
[25:24.04] We'll all stand proud
[25:27.65]
