Degraded

A grey world it's his only view
It's always the same old tune
Steel and dust, his only playground
And no hope when he looks around
Thanked with a paltry wage
Degraded and constrained
He knows he's just one among them
He's slipping through a cold mayhem
And the man he once used to be
As a brainless tool, now will live
Thanked with a paltry wage
Degraded and constrained
To the daily ... grind ... quietly
He's always asked to work harder
While earning less, it doesn't matter
He's resigned, he submit himself
Piece by piece, building his own cell
Thanked with a paltry wage
Degraded and constrained
To the daily ... grind ... quietly
I've bought everything I don't need
I've bought everything on credit
When things started to go wrong
I'd been trapped for far too long
I thought it was them - those who are different
Eating my food, the root cause of my problems
And now I know - they were just scapegoats
Distracting me while suits enslaves me

Bulging Eyes
06:07

(A) shiver goes down my spine, when the crowd is cheering you
And I'm rubbing my eyes, I'm scared, I can't believe it's true
It's mostly for the money
No faith but so much gain
And it's also for the fame
The crowd screaming your name
In the dark you're listening to the babble of voices
Lights on, we can see...
Now, they're singing the anthem, with one arm outstretched downward And they won't fail to laugh at your racist jokes, they'll feel smart
It's mostly for the money
No faith but so much gain
And it's also for the fame
The crowd screaming your name
In the dark you're listening to the babble of voices
Lights on, we can see...
...Your bulging eyes
...Your bulging eyes
And the tale goes on
It goes on and on
And the tale goes on
It goes on and on
And there's nothing new 'bout that,
System is rotten Hang on !
Just like you
Wake up!
He's just a useful idiot
Wake up!
The mad dog of the system
Wake up!
He is distracting us
Wake up!
with lies and lies and lies and laughs

Disillusion
06:27

I was always told ... to be honest
Throughout my lifetime ... doing my best
Not to lie, not to steal ... not to cheat
Throughout the years that's the way my ... parents raised me
Feeding my dreams ... with tales and stories
Making me think ... it could be me
When it comes to my life ... a daily strife
Is there someone by my side ... to keep me alive ?
Money, profits, always... hungry for more
No matter what it costs, you were...
raised to outscore
Money, profits, always... hungry for more
No matter what it costs, you were...
raised to outscore
Now I know that's ... only bullshit
This shitty world ... a stinky cesspit
While more people starve a handful of people grow rich
Every day it's becoming ... more obscene
Money, profits, always... you want to have more
No matter what it costs, you were...
raised to outscore
Money, profits, always... you want to have more
No matter what it costs, you were...
raised to outscore
All what I believe in is an illusion
All what I believe in is an illusion
All what I believe in is an illusion
All what I believe in is an illusion
A fucking scam

Insignificant

Stay away
You have to keep your distance
There's no way you'll cross the fence
Either way
You can try until your blue
in the face
I will push you down
I will push you down
Many things
Can be done by a man
But don't interfere in my business
Many things
So many things you can't do
You're my bitch
I will push you down
I will push you down
Always the same
It's always the same
It's written
Throughout the ages
The exploited and those who...
benefit, comfortably settled in our ivory towers
We will...
We will push you down
We will push you...
We will push you down
It's always the same
It's always the same
You can try to reach me
Finding your way in the maze
You're not the first one trying to make some changes
Rules are established
Everyone should remain in place
One after the other
Like you, they all have tried in vain
In vain...

Greed
08:44
|
|||
The sky is growing dark for you and me
We'll soon be on a battlefield
But for now, we are facing
Hypocrisy, tales and bullshit
There's no room left for relevance
And not by mere accident or mischance
Fools were given a chance
And here we are, it's not by happenstance
Moving forward with absolute certainty
Facing down the sleaze of humanity
They feel invested
They're not aware of their vulnerability
By dint of greed
My misery
By dint of greed
You're scared and you don't even know it
You're scared and you'll always deny it
Resulting in a feeling of personal... insecurity
Like a boat tossed on a stormy sea
We're heading to a tragic ending
No-one will survive
Their misleading way of perceiving things
They're trying to save what can't be saved
Regardless of the price to pay
Stubborn and carefree
They won't hit the brake and question things
By dint of greed
My misery
By dint of greed
You're broke and you don't even know it
You're broke and you don't even feel it
Resulting in a feeling of personal... insecurity
You're scared and you don't even know it
You're scared and you'll always deny it
Resulting in a feeling of personal... insecurity
Dysfunctional, you're unable, to be lucid about what's coming Dysfunctional, you're unable, to remember we are human beings Dysfunctional, you're unable, to be lucid about what's coming
To be lucid about what's coming
To remember we are human beings
Do not add to it
Do not add to it
Or you will regret it
Or you will regret it
Do not add to it
Do not add to it
Or you will regret it
Or you will regret it
Don't take it for granted
Don't take it for granted
Or you will regret it
Or you will regret it
Don't take it for granted
Or you will regret it
Or you will regret it
Don't take it for granted
Don't take it for granted

OYSTER'S RELUCTANCE Mâcon, France
Oyster's Reluctance est un combo basse/batterie/voix.
Originaire de Mâcon (71), le groupe voit le jour en 2013 sur
les cendres d'O.R.A.N.G.E.B.U.D.
Le trio propose une fusion de rock et de métal, noisy et déstructurée à souhait, qu'ils définissent comme du rock anaphylactique.
:: Le choc anaphylactique est dû à un mécanisme d'hypersensibilité immédiate ::
