I don't care what you think of me Doesn't matter what you see Cause to you it's all the same We're playing the same damn game It's the signs we see It's not you it's we Lets blame society, Society Yeah cause no one knows Just how this shit goes When we're all alone, all alone Well it's nice you think I care Well that shit just ain't fair We all think we're original Well to me that shits bull It's the signs we see It's not you it's we Lets blame society, society Yeah cause no one knows Just how this shit goes When we're all alone, all alone Cause nobody cares Just what we think They just believe It's all parties and drinks So take it from me Your wasting our time Society is fucked This is your final sign It's the signs we see It's not you it's we Lets blame society Yeah cause no one knows Just how this shit goes When we're all alone It's the signs we see It's not you it's we Lets blame society There's nothing left to say When we turn that page Welcome the modern age The modern age

She brings me up when I feel down I was lost and now I'm found When I'm with her, my times never waisted Cuz I know our time is limited When she's close I feel so safe I'm not judged in anyway And I hope that it's ok When I hang with her all day I just wanna hang with her every day and when she can she understands when I need my space It's all so new And it's new for you too Everything I wanna do I wanna do with you If you change your mind I know that it's just fine And you know that I won't cry I just hope you'll find the time She understands when I get anxious Lets me rant when I get into it She doesn't bug me when I can't call She doesn't want me to feel bad at all In a month she goes to college It's stupid cuz who needs fuckin knowledge I'm just kidding, I'm hoping that was obvious I don't want further education Call me obvious I just wanna hang with her every day and when she can she understands when I need my space It's all so new And it's new for you too Everything I wanna do I wanna do with you If you change your mind I know that it's just fine And you know that I won't cry I just hope you'll find the time It's all so new And it's new for you too Everything I wanna do I wanna do with you If you change your mind I know that it's just fine And you know that I won't cry I just hope you'll find the time

My Buddies and I we're a Ragtag Crew We got a bag of butter And a can of chew With a bit of ale, or a bit of wine I tell ya fellas, Well be just fine Nothing get us higher than A can of ol'brew While sitting right beside Your pals from high school We won't stop drinking from dawn to dusk Roadside Cola hits Just right When I drank Roadside Cola yes I knew it was fine When I drank Roadside Cola I made sure it was mine When I tasted Roadside Cola It had sugar and spice And when I took a sip It was better then Wine Know Know I don't Mean to intrude If I had another drink I think I'd couldn't choose Cause when I got a sip Of that fizzy drink I loose my case of the Blues

I started looking through you When I saw you walking by You just look like another face The kind you toss aside I just want to be Open by my side They were better than you You're just after me Don't waste your life Chasing food on a string right in front of your eyes Just forget about me Like I have about you For the good of your heart So don't you break it again Again and again Wake up Realize why I can't enjoy our time Together You and I You can't seem To get it through your head I'd rather be dead Don't waste your life Chasing food on a string right in front of your eyes Just forget about me Like I have about you For the good of your heart So don't you break it again Again and again Cause I won't pick up the pieces You're on your own Now that you've seen the light You can walk on home Now that you've struggled for nothin' You can leave me alone Just leave me alone Don't waste your life Chasing food on a string right in front of your eyes Just forget about me Like I have about you For the good of your heart So don't you break it again Again and again

I've been sitting in my room Thinking of you And I wonder how you've been doin Since you've gone away to another state And I never thought it would be this way And now I've lost Almost all of my friends Because my singer's fuckin My bass player's ex I know that this is the start But life's been shit now that we're apart Twenty-first Century Digital boy And Come a little closer too Are songs that still remind me of you CTE's your favorite group Which is pretty cool Now it's 3 AM and I'm writing a song About my ex of 3 fucking months Now I guess you found the time And your not mine Please tell me someone got that line John quit the band (hey!) We're sinking in quick sand (hey!) And all I think about is that your gone First FE Album (hey!) It seems like one big problem (hey!) And it really hurts that I wrote that fucking song I spend all my time now thinkin of you But I know that I've got better things to do Like going to bed at a decent time Or cleaning my room, wonder what I'll find I spent the 5 months that we were dating Enjoying myself but anticipating August 17th, the day you're leaving Now it's through, I remember you Remember all the shit we used to John quit the band We're sinking in quick sand And all I think about is that your gone First FE Album It seems like one big problem And it really hurts that I wrote that fucking song John quit the band We're sinking in quick sand And all I think about is that your gone First FE Album It seems like one big problem And it really hurts that I wrote that fucking song John quit the band We're sinking in quick sand And all I think about is that your gone First FE Album It seems like one big problem And it really hurts that I wrote that fucking song

Fresh baked in a newborn hell We're gonna have some fun And we'll end up well But I ain't got nothin to say, nothing to say I got nothin to do, nothing to do I got no one to pay, no one to pay All according to you Strapped down to a social cell Yes, I've got got a brain Though no one can tell Docile at the ring of a bell I can sit right in my place, but I'd rather yell! I ain't got somethin to say, something to say I got somethin to do, something to do I got no one to pay, no one to pay All according to you I ain't got somethin to say I got somethin to do I'm going my own way My life's not made for you But I ain't got somethin to say, something to say I got somethin to do, something to do I got no one to pay, no one to pay All according to you

Ok, forget it I should know how you make me feel so bad (when your around me) I don't know and that makes me feel so bad (when your around me) Your way around the world just pulls me down to vista lows My mind can't comprehend your constant waves and ebbs and flows You know that Your really messing with my head

Genocide, kingdom Substitute for freedom Welcome to hunting season Organized Professional Circle jerk Please tell me What the fuck is it all worth For what we call free Is on a downward trajectory I don't think that we've succeeded Paranoia And brained washed minds Makes me wonder what we'll find In the American Fantasy It's in all of us, you and me Just take a look around and you will see That the land of the free Is just one big Fantasy Pseudo fascism And straight up racism Why don't we try and fix how we've become I've waisted youth I'm fucking sick of you I know that it's nothing new We'll die In the American Fantasy It's in all of us, you and me Just take a look around and you will see That the land of the free Is just one big Fantasy Dead visions Bring suffering Soon come bring pain and misery Strike down foes What we say goes But why does only god know Get down and pray You know what to say May god bring dead democracy So rest assured that your not safe here And when your time comes The world won't hear you scream We'll die In the American Fantasy It's in all of us, you and me Just take a look around and you will see That the land of the free Is dead democracy the American Fantasy It's in all of us, you and me Just take a look around and you will see That the land of the free Is just one big Fantasy

The first full length album by Forced Edge!! While recording the album, the band was going through a rough time. Our original bassist, John, quit the band, and pretty much took all of our friends with him. At this time we didn't have a drummer (only a fill in) Levie, and Facundo. When John quit, Koosha just joined the band, so he was super new, so it felt like just Levie and Facundo during this. But, we decided to start recording the album. Modern Age was written by the 4 original members of Forced Edge, Facundo, John, Levie, and Galush. We wrote it on a camping trip because we had nothing better to do. The song is about how we all need to come together instead of fighting. It's basically an anti war song. The second track is Guess Not. John wrote this song about the vocalist Facundo after some stupid argument. Our guitarist, Levie, took the lyrics and used them for a song, so here we are! The third track on the album is I Hate Everything! This song isn't super deep, Levie wrote this song because he was just pissed off at the world. He had to walk to school that day, and my PE class had to run the mile, and he fucking hates running.... So I Hate Everything. The next song is kind of a sad song, but it's a love song. Find the Time was written by Levie about his girlfriend at the time. Basically his girlfriend was moving away for college and they were gonna have to break up. The fifth track is Roadside Cola! This one was written by Drew who was the saxaphone player in their first show. They were hanging out after they got out of school, and he found a soda on the side of the road, and drank it…… Levie sings Again and Again (Just like Find the Time). This song was an improvised song from Facundo during a jam session with Facundo, Levie, Ethan(Original show), Jack, and John. The seventh track marks 2 Levie songs in a row! This one is Find the Time pt. 2, and Levie wrote it about the breakup from pt 1, and also the band seemingly falling apart. It's out of our deeper songs. This song's existence proves that Forced Edge is here to stay! And back to the fun not so deep songs, with track 8 being Fuck You. Levie wrote this one, once again, just being mad at the world, but mostly his parents. With track 9, Nothing to Do, this one was written by John and is about wanting to be left alone because nothing they does matters. Track 10 was written about how Ezada (our original singer) talked about her dad also written by John. Look at the lyrics, and it explains itself. Here we go. Tack 11 is the title track for the album. Levie wrote American Fantasy about how the USA pushes the “american dream” and freedom so hard, but turns it around and takes it all away. We’ll Live And Die In The American Fantasy.
