A clip of what appears to be confirmed as the chorus to "Survivalism" can be heard by calling the telephone number 1-310-295-1040, which was found on Valentine's Day 2007 by joining discolored numerals on the back of a tour t-shirt.

Lyrics

I should have listened to her
So hard to keep control
We kept on eating but
Our bloated belly's still not full
She gave us all she had but
We went and took some more
Can't seem to shut her legs
Our mother nature is a whore

  [CHORUS:]
I got my propaganda
I got revisionism
I got my violence
And I give ultra-realism
I'm a part of this great nation
I got my fist
I got my brain
I got survivalism

Hypnotic sound of sirens
Echoing through the street
The cocking of the rifles
The marching of the feet
You see your world on fire
Don't try to act surprised
We did just what you told us
Lost our faith along the way and found ourselves believing your lies

  [CHORUS]
  [cut-up speech]

All bruised and broken, bleeding
She asked to take my hand
I turned, just keep on walking
But you'd do the same thing under circumstance I'm sure you understand

  [CHORUS]
  [guitar solo]
