LYRICS
As one can plainly see
There’s something wrong in D.C.
Politicians line their pockets
Popping eyeballs from their sockets

Dropping jaws hit the floor
No more! It’s all I can endure
You turn my vote into rote
Then you gloat on your lavish bloat

Taking advantage of me
Taking our “be” gladly
Public servant’s been bent
On the trust we’ve lent

Chorus

Fat cat feeds the hypocrite
No one seems to care a bit
The elite spreading deceit
The public should unseat

Chorus

LYRICS
State Police go flying by
With their lights blazing
Makes a man wonder why
Sirens are blaring
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat

Lead that led to death’s bed
Turns the living to the dead
Makes a man wonder why
Someone’s gotta die
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat

Wedding of clothing with shedding blood
Brings an out pouring… an emotional flood
Makes a man wonder why
There’s a final good-bye
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat

A song about:

WEST CHESTER, PA — The man shot by a Chester County Sheriff’s deputy Tuesday morning after he attacked another deputy with a knife has died from his injuries, officials have confirmed.

Curtis Smith, a 34-year-old Coatesville resident, was treated at the scene of the 11:50 a.m. shooting and taken to Paoli Hospital where he died as a result of his wounds, according to Chester County District Attorney Thomas P. Hogan.

Hogan identified Smith as the man who was arrested in early March for vaulting the White House wall.

LYRICS
Constitution… Bill Of Rights… enumeration
Shed some light to end the fight… illuminated
No 1st Amendment abandonment
Say your piece on peace
Release the captive native
Wouldn’t you say you were born in the USA

Institution of incarceration… electrocution
Ask yourself why we wanna hang ’em high
Count the reasons for our killing season
The number of malfeasance
Lesions of the brain… insane in the membrane

LYRICS
Have you heard of the rat race
A herd in disgrace
A generation lost in space
Left in a haze
Stuck in a maze
Mesmerize with lies
Simpletons amaze
Cracked from the craze

How absurd of a pig race
Humane? Not a trace
A race losing face
Fat cat fit spat
Ain’t where it’s at
Alarm disarm
The donkey can’t see
The Ass disaster
Quick! Run faster

Oh,

Ooooooooh I get it

Solution to the puzzle
Take off the muzzle
I see
Freedom of speech isn’t free
If the word isn’t spoken
And the slumbered woken

I get it
Tell the world what it’s about
What it is we’ve figured out

I can see
Freedom of speech isn’t free
When enslaved
It takes a human to behave
Soooo please don’t save
Your contribution
To the solution
Of the puzzle
Take off the muzzle

LYRICS
Though it sounds absurd
There is a House Of Lords
To be free as a bird
Unlikely for the hoards
Unlikely for the herds

Though they march for freedom
In “the end” they succumb
From being smart to being dumb
Revolution an unlikely outcome

Though we see the storm cloud
We are much too proud
To admit what we clearly see
To the detriment of you and me

ABOUT THE SONG

The House of Lords is the upper house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Like the House of Commons, it meets in the Palace of Westminster.

Unlike the elected House of Commons, most members of the House of Lords are appointed. The membership of the House of Lords is made up of Lords Spiritual and Lords Temporal. The Lords Spiritual are 26 bishops in the established Church of England. Of the Lords Temporal, the majority are life peers who are appointed by the monarch on the advice of the Prime Minister, or on the advice of the House of Lords Appointments Commission. However, they also include some hereditary peers. Membership was once an entitlement of all hereditary peers, other than those in the peerage of Ireland, but under the House of Lords Act 1999, the right to membership was restricted to 92 hereditary peers. Very few of these are female since most hereditary peerages can only be inherited by men.

LYRICS
The ocean has begun to come in
It’s comin’ in

The ocean
Did begin
Comin’ in
And again
It’s comin’ in
Can you save me from the wave
’cause the ocean is comin’ in
It did begin
It’s comin’ in
It did begin
The ocean
In

When you look out your front door
Do you see the same scene anymore
Not the same as before?
The ocean is movin’
It’s comin’ in
The ocean
Is comin’ in

Go ahead step outside you may find there’s no place to hide
You can’t rewind
I think you’ll find you can’t rewind
Can’t take away your sin
Now the ocean will begin
It’s comin’ in
You can’t erase your sin
Can’t erase your past sin
Can’t just wash it away
Haha… not to save the day

And tragically it’s happenin’ to me
I can see when I look out my front door
The scene is not the same any more
I’d be lying if I said the trees weren’t dying
And if the ocean wasn’t knockin’
It’s comin’ in

Are things adding up
Is 2+2 4?
Is 4+4 8?

Politicians and suits berate

Too, too times hate

The answer’s in equals
Equals qualls the quarrels

Only with the energy is then sum… than some

LYRICS
Something’s really weird out there
A strange breeze… chill in the air
Something’s not quite right right here
A white-washed humanity smear

There’s a cold front and it’s moving in
No, it won’t be long ’till it’s stormin’

People going crazy out there
A strange disease… they do declare
A problem where they make a commotion
Having to express their emotion

There’s a cold front and it’s moving in
No, it won’t be long ’till it’s stormin’

Not willing to really share
Cold shoulder freeze… can barely bare
Priorities re-arrange
Time for us to make the change

There’s a cold front and it’s moving in
No, it won’t be long ’till it’s stormin’

This is a test of the non-emergency broadcasting network
It is only a test

You say you believe in revolution
Not in a bloody institution
But the evolution of your revolution
Umm… what’s in your institution?

What do you have to say
Keep harm outta harm’s way?
What do you have to say
Can you keep harm at bay?

So, you wanna start a revolution
Agin’ the bloody institution
What do you plan instead of bloodshed
Pray tell, what is you plan instead?

What do you have to say
Keep harm outta harm’s way?
What do you have to say
Can you keep harm at bay?

Do you consider yourself outrageous
Do you consider your outrageous outright contagious?

Is your outrageous contagious in such a way that it may be spontaneous
Some spontaneous combustion

I feel it churning
The hearts are yearning

Is your outrageous contagious?
Do you consider yourself outrageous
Do you consider yourself outrageous outright contagious?

Can you gauge your outrage
About our time… about our age
You’d think the history book would have already turned the page

Yet we march
Some say stampede
We’ve got to succeed in… divin’ over the cliff
’till we’re all stiff
Over the cliff
‘tell we’re all dead and stiff

Do you consider yourself outrageous
Is your outrageous outright contagious?

The outrageous age ages us
Becoming before it’s due
Yes we do
Become old before we’re due
Yes we do
