LYRICS
There’s a bad juju
All over you
You spilt your milk
Now whatcha gonna do?
Perjure yourself again and again
In this lifetime, they call that a sin
And, well…
Then, they call it… hello reality
Gonna get the best in me

There’s a bad juju
All over you
There’s egg on your face
A total disgrace
(To the Blue are you)
Hate crime all the time
In this lifetime, they call that a sin
And, well…
Then, they call it… hello reality
Gonna get the best in me

LYRICS
Going from pissed to dismissed
For what they missed — dismissed
Dismissed
You’re dismissed

Call Thomas, Esquire when straights are dire
Both chambers loaded, cocked… fire!
Dismissed
You’re dismissed

Order in the court. Here comes the judge
And he’s the sort that likes to hold a grudge
“Oh, no! You’re not free to go.”

I must confess you’ve no witness
If no one witnessed, case dismissed
Dismissed
You’re dismissed

Finally a chance
Justice scales balance
Celebration dance
Blind justice glance

Celebratory dance
Scales balance

Dismissed
You’re dismissed
You’re free to go, ya know?

BLIND JUSTICE GLANCE

Lady Justice — Since the 15th century, Lady Justice has often been depicted wearing a blindfold. The blindfold represents objectivity, in that justice is or should be meted out objectively, without fear or favour, regardless of money, wealth, fame, power, or identity; blind justice and impartiality.

LYRICS
Pop the cork. Let the champagne fizz
A momentary lapse of justice
Just is
A breath of fresh air
Ohhhh so rare
When life is fair
Share the care

Let the law practice practice
A momentary lapse of justice
Just is
A real world dream
So it would seem
Instead of mean
Coming clean

LYRICS
It’s rather severe what you subject
I hope you don’t mind if I object
Me to you
Overlord and your underlings, too

This is a revolt of your subject
In general, I object to your neglect
Lack of compassion
Is all your fashion

About the subject of your subject
Your notion of freedom we reject
Let us be
All set free

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you falling faster than a shooting star
Do you find your circumstance too bizarre
Are you calling out faster than ever before
“I didn’t mean to step in it any more”

Karma found
What’s going round
Is coming round
Is going round
What’s coming round
Karma bound

Is the tide rising faster than you can endure
Drifting further and further from the shore
Sanity falling faster… no insanity cure
Slipping further and further from the sure

Chorus

Are you sinking faster into the quicksand
Have you lost your facilities? Have you lost command?
Are you slipping faster… have you lost your grip
Under the Chinese water torture… drip, drip, drip

Chorus

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you still waiting for the cavalry
To show up and rescue me
There’s a villain outside my door
And out back there’s a whole lot more

Beware of the ma in the uniform
He’s out to slay your unicorn
Be weary of weapon wielding warriors
They’ll likely make their war yours

Will the knight in shinning armor
Show up to defend our honor
There’s a dragon outside my door
And out back there’s a whole lot more

Chorus

Shouldn’t be a damsel in distress
How did they ever create this mess
Police officers turned outlaw
Out to jail your ma and pa

Chorus

LYRICS
Pump the fist into the air
As though there’s nothing there
Oh, well…
Will the scent of coffee make them wake and smell?
’cause I sure think something does stink
With their power spell
Is there anybody up there
That’s the slightest bit aware

Up there all alone
Come down from your throne
Gonna fall from you pedestal

Thrust the fist into the air
As though you really care
Post a boast
To yourself a toast
Vanity at its most
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the fairest of them all
One of those that won’t compose
“The Emperor’s got no clothes”

Up there all alone
Come down from your throne
Gonna fall from you pedestal

Easy to say it’s coming
Harder to say it’s gone
Is America dumbing
Or will the New Age dawn?

Destined folklore fables
Police soliciting merch.
Is Jesus turning tables?

Then when our time ends
The message Daniel sends
Some will shine everlasting light
To the least those with the most might

Daniel
12 “Daniel, at that time the great prince Michael will stand up. Michael is in charge of your people. There will be a time of much trouble, the worst time since nations have been on earth. But Daniel, at that time every one of your people whose name is found written in the book of life will be saved. 2 There are many who are dead and buried. Some of them will wake up and live forever, but others will wake up to shame and disgrace forever. 3 The wise people will shine as bright as the sky. Those who teach others to live right will shine like stars forever and ever.

Matthew 21:12
[ Jesus Goes to the Temple ] Jesus went into the Temple area. He threw out all those who were selling and buying things there. He turned over the tables that belonged to those who were exchanging different kinds of money. And he turned over the benches of those who were selling doves.

Matthew 20:16
“So those who are last now will be first in the future. And those who are first now will be last in the future.”

LYRICS
If at first you don’t succeed
Don’t for a second secede
Not to yield is the shield
Respect to serve and protect

We can carry the banner high
If we try
In “The End” we’re gonna die
Might as well fight might
Astray anyway

Knock, knock. Can you let me in
Hello? It’s me, again
Where would you like to begin
Repeating the repeating of what has been?

Chorus

If they’re gonna make ya bleed
’cause you won’t yield to concede
Maybe what it is you need — justify facts, indeed, in deed

LYRICS
You’ve made yourself a major ordeal
For real

The sergeants and lieutenants promoted each other
Into the fraternal order of the brother
Now they’re all a major ordeal
With far less public appeal

You’ve made yourself a major ordeal
For real

The Mayor behind closed doors makin’ a secret deal
With a nod and a wink the deal she’ll seal
Throwing her weight… she couldn’t wait to create a real ordeal

You’ve made yourself a major ordeal
For real
