Infest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No fucking way!
On your knees
Do as they say
Slave to society
Kiss their ass
No fucking way!
On your knees
Slave to society
The lyrics of Infest's song "Slave" express a strong and rebellious attitude against the pressure of conforming to society's norms and expectations. The song portrays a society that demands the submission of the individual, forcing them to bow down and serve, even if it goes against their principles and beliefs. The singer of the song resists this oppressive system, refusing to acquiesce to the demands of those in power. The lines "Kiss their ass, No fucking way!" and "On your knees, Do as they say" signify the singer's determination to reject societal expectations and refuse to be a mere pawn in their game. The repeated lyric "Slave to society" reinforces the idea of societal demands being a form of oppression.
The song highlights the idea of being born into a world that expects individuals to conform, to abandon their individuality, and become another face in the crowd. The lyrics suggest that society is designed to manipulate individuals into being obedient, unquestioning slaves. However, the singer of the song resists this conformity and refuses to be part of the system, standing up for their beliefs and refusing to submit to the demands of those in power.
Overall, "Slave" is a powerful anthem that challenges the status quo and promotes the idea of individuality, resistance, and rebellion against societal norms and conventions.

1. Break The Chain
time for you to listen
i got something to say
get back! stay the fuck away!
keep your distance and i'll be free
plastic molds, human shapes
all distorted, figures of hate
all the static fucks my brain
must escape
break the chain!
2. Pickled
hey macho man, can't you think
foot ball hero. nickname's Dink
his arms are big, but his mind is small
swallow a twelver and have a ball
look across the room, someone smaller than you
it's your chance man, to beat him black and blue
too much barley, too much grain
living dead, immune to pain
stumble around, pick a fight
fuck with me. i just might
3. Sick-O
slashing up humans gets him off
bits and pieces, small and soft
freezer bags store his mess
those human remains always kept fresh
sharpens his blade after each one
preparing for another slice o' fun
still they laugh like he's a joke
but they can't laugh, without a throat
a new selection sounds just great
release the tension, even out some hate
pressure builds, can only control it
by satisfying his stainless steel dick???
4. Plastic
sure you can lie, except to yourself
make others think you're someone else
pretend you're someone by faking your feelings
to get accepted and have some meaning
friends swallow your bullshit like it's food
opening themselves to who they think is you
what's the reason for using a sheild
not letting out how you feel
afraid to let out what's inside
rather be someone who isn't alive
is ther eal reason why you fake
because yourself is your biggest hate?
just be yourself
not someone plastic
before it's too late
things get too drastic...
5. Mindless
living to use
use till you die
life just sucks
unless you're high
can't get high
escape with sleep
away from the pain
only drugs can treat
shaking you awake
covered with sweat
prescribing home
versions of an
inevitable death
mindless mutant
do you like
what you are?
substance abuser
professional retard
it makes me sick
such a waste
just get a gun
both have same fate
6. Which Side?
stuck on a fence, walking a fine line
cant' choose a side, just buying more time
don't be afraid, you're not alone
just atake a chance before the chance gets blown
which side am i...
7. V.Y.O.
nobody speaks for you
without knowing your thoughts
no matter what they say
be your own boss
along with everyone else
you have a mouth too
speak when you should
others will hear you
why be someone's follower
leading is where it's at
if others relate to your views
you'll be who they'll back
always speak your mind
others may feel as you do
don't worry what others say
speak to what applies to you
voice your opinion
your voice must be heard
voice your opinion
your voices must be heard
8. Where's The Unity
all you do is talk, you never act
hypocrite, and that's a fact
positive scene is a must
without friendship, there's no trust
visions of unity seem so nice
but when i see a fight, i think twice
when i go to the shows and see stupidity
all i can say is 'where's the unity?'
alcohol seperates us
use your head, keep in touch
positive scene in our land
lending your brother that helping hand
visions of unity seem so nice
but when i see a fight, i think twice
when i go to shows i see the stupidity
9. Screwed
Life is hard, then you die
plus mass questions, asking why
but saying this and wishing that
wasting time, never coming back
got to be tough and watch out for pitfalls
not paying attention, costing it all
temptation along side, twisting the mind
finding a weakness, to bait his line
then there's friends, so you thought
seems he lied, so you got ripped off
next it's her, she's so sweet
always feeling good, ain't love neat
quickly see beauty turn into beast
catching your neighbor 10 inches deep
all that's left in your head
interested to see what tortures ahead
screwed...
10. Machismo
it's hard to explain the way i feel
can't jeoparadize my macho sex appeal
immune to all feeling, i just don't understand
must be cold and shallow, a real macho man
time to think...
this attitude stinks!
warm human feelings must be kept inside
machismo is at stake, just think if you cried
tell people how you feel, they might think you're screwed
tell them where to shove their bullshit attitude!
macho bullshit attitude
macho bullshit attitude
11. The Game
fucken authority lays laws on me
social guidelines enforced on me
classified labels you can keep
part of the game
just another fucken sheep!
12. Sick Of Talk
say one thing then do the next
shut your face, give your mouth a rest
sick of talk and i'm sick of you
what the fuck am i supposed to do?
rage builds up
up inside
a feeling
i cannot hide
you better get the fuck away from me!
13. Iran Scam
ronald reagan, contra scam
hurdling towards another Vietnam
political misuse, congress unknowing
people decieved, while aid is growing
ronnie's helpers, design master plan
to overthrow a government, in the name of uncle sam
arms for the hostages, cash for contras
missiles and guns, bought with US dollars...
14. Life's Halt
looking up above, light fills the skies
showers of warheads begin the winless fight
everyone responsible, being at fault
these heathen ways, caused life's halt
seems evil thoughts, finally overpowered
once good people, time has soured
forget human compassion, fend for thyself
playing fate's chards, dealt by yourself
seems everyone drew cards of death
as radiation blankets, smothers last breath
all is lost, taken for granted
realizing only then, how priceless a planet
pushing the button, releasing the bombs
resetting this world, too far gone
a new beginning progressing again
until reaching another sick society end...
15. Slave
kiss their ass
no fucking way!
on your knees
do as they say
born on your knees
slave to society
kiss their ass
no fucking way!
on your knees
slave to society
16. Head First
no second thoughts
doubt always hurts
brain before pain
attack it headfirst
there's thoughts
behind my actions
head is clear
no distractions
headfirst!
no second thoughts
doubt always hurts
brain before pain
attack it headfirst!
17. Sick And Tired
every show the same ol' thing
do you pay attention to what we sing?
brother against brother, such a shame
brainless gangs, it's getting lame!
bashing some heads
your way of fun
but when it's one on one
that's when the fun is done
all the slogans of unity
that's something I don't see
a scene that's something plagued with groups of hate
let's just coexist and try to relate
proving themselves men
bunch of fucken shit
i'm getting tired
i'm getting sick of it!
18. Fetch The Pliers
[Instrumental]

When I saw them in Baltimore for A389 fest a few years ago, I was in the front and Joe pointed the mic right at me and let me scream "Where is it?" at the end of "Where's the Unity?" and it was one of the greatest moments of my life. The video is on here.
