Fucking Hostile
Carnival in Coal Lyrics

Almost every day, i see the same face
Every day, I see the same people with the same attitude.

On broken picture tube, it fits the attitude.
The television shows images of people with the same negative attitude as the people I see every day.

If you could see yourself, you'd put you on a shelf
If you saw yourself from an outside perspective, you wouldn't like what you see and would distance yourself from yourself.

Your verbal masturbate, promise to nauseate.
You talk about yourself excessively, which is annoying to those around you.

Today I'll play the part of non-parent,
Today, I won't be a parent figure or tell you what to do.

Not make a hundred rules for you to know about yourself.
I won't impose strict rules for you to follow to discover yourself.

Not lie and make you believe what's evil is making love and making friends and meeting God your own way ...the right way.
I won't deceive you into thinking that things like making friends, making love, and finding God in your own way is wrong.

(Chorus) To see, to bleed cannot be taught In turn, you're making us Fucking Hostile We stand alone
Experiencing life and pain cannot be taught, so you're making us angry and violent, causing us to stand alone.

The truth in right and wrong, the boundaries of the law,
Knowing what's right and wrong and adhering to the law are crucial.

You seem to miss the point, arrested for a joint?
You don't understand the point, and as a result, you've been arrested for something minor like smoking marijuana.

You seem to wonder why hundreds of people die,
You question why death is so common.

You're writing tickets man, my mom got jumped they ran!
You're giving out tickets while real problems like my mom getting assaulted go unsolved.

Now I'll play a public servant,
Now, I'll play the role of a public servant.

To serve and protect by the Law and the State.
I'll serve and protect by following the law and state regulations.

I'd bust the punks that rape steal and murder
I'll take down those who commit serious crimes like rape, theft, and murder.

And leave you be, if you crossed me.
I'll let you do your own thing if you don't cause any trouble for me.

I'd shake your hand like a man ...not a God!
I'll greet you like a human instead of putting you on a pedestal.

(Chorus)
Experiencing life and pain cannot be taught, so you're making us angry and violent, causing us to stand alone.

Come meet your maker boy, somethings you can't enjoy.
You will eventually meet your maker, but there are things you won't be able to enjoy because of misconceptions about heaven and hell.

Because of Heaven/Hell, a fucking wive's tale.
The idea of heaven and hell is just a made-up fictional story.

They put it in your head, then put you in your bed.
People put these ideas in your head, and they eventually cause you to feel oppressed and powerless.

He's watching - say your prayers. 'cause God is everywhere.
You should pray because God is always watching and present.

Now I'll play a man learning priesthood,
Now, I'll play the role of a man learning to become a priest.

Who's about to take the ultimate test in life.
I'm about to undergo the ultimate test in life by becoming a priest.

I'd question things because I am human,
I'll question things because I'm a human and won't blindly follow a religious belief.

And call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger.
I won't call someone who has no close relationship with me my father.

I won't listen !!
I won't listen to anyone blindly and will always question things.
