If you take him literally
It could wind up deadly
Absurdity

Lunacy
Here we come
Freedom
Run by dumb

If you take him figuratively
It could wind up deadly
Absurdity
Presidency
Lunar see
Lunacy
Here we come

Run by dumb

If you take him… yes, please take him

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The wait n’ see
Is gettin’ to me
Transparency
Of hypocrisy
Laissez-faire
Market place
Not so fair
Human race
Is it any surprise
When the masses arise
Institutional
Revolution all

Let it be
All set free
Tyranny Irony
Dare compare
Then and now
No one there
Can say how

Better be careful what we wish for
Might be something we can’t endure
But, when there’s a problem we can’t ignore
Going to fight for right… that’s for sure

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As they try to wipe the Stars And Stripes
Don’t let them swipe

Careen from the se1rene scene
Under the red, white and blue
Unfold the Old Glory story
A victim of racism, too

Supremacists insist and persist
Usurping a symbol for hate
#HashTag Confederate Flag
In the state of the irate

Proud to be an American
You’d better think and think again
Giving Nemesis a call
Is bound to be your downfall

Understand your stolen land
Is not at your command
Sooner or later it’s got to get through
The black and white of red, white and blue

Now, I can’t even fly our colors
Ashamed it smells of your odors
F.U. and your racist attack
I want my flag back

[Not going to take it
Going to take it back]

LYRICS
The carnival barker is barking at you
(You’re due. You’re due.)
Want to know if you have it in you
(Do you? Do you?)
Step right this way to pay
Try your luck at giving a #uck
(OK? OK!)
The proof is in the pudding
No kidding walk the walk
Put your money where your mouth is
You’re taking life’s pop quiz

The telemarketer is calling for you
(You’re due. You’re due.)
Do you want to change your view
(Do you? Do you?)
Press 1 to pay today
Try your luck at giving a #uck
(OK? OK!)
The proof is in the pudding
No kidding walk the walk
Put your money where your mouth is
You’re taking life’s pop quiz

The First Lady is mailing you
Wants to know if she can count on you?
Mail money right away
Try your luck at giving a #uck
(OK? OK!)
The proof is in the pudding
No kidding walk the walk
Put your money where your mouth is
You’re taking life’s pop quiz

LYRICS
What’s all the fuss
What’s all the rush
Must be something dire
Accident or fire
Sound the alarm
Fear and harm
Fire engine siren
Babies dyin’
Always too late
To hesitate
{rest}

Release of police
Belly of the beast
Oppressing the least
Watch the beast feast
Sound the alarm
Fear and harm
Fire engine siren
Babies dyin’
Always too late
To hesitate
{rest}

All the lights and noise
Killing all the joys
Shutting down the street
Stepping on the beat
Sound the alarm
Fear and harm
Fire engine siren
Babies dyin’
Always too late
To hesitate
{rest}

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Ohhhh The Po Po Po’s
Lease on life
At the least
Is rife with strife
Do you hear the howl
All the while
The downtrodden’s growl
No compassion
In their fashion
Badge and club and gun
Make you want to run
We’ll shed a tear today
Run, run, run away
We’ll keep the fear at bay
Where there’s a we’ll / will
There’s a way
You know…
It won’t be over
’til we overthrow
Our overlords
(Hear the hoards
Here the hoards)

Mighty good deal if you ask me

LYRICS
When you said “honestly”
Thought you meant for real
Now you have lost me
Scrutinize the deal
Do you think your ranting ‘s
Enchanting?
A rather dumb
Temper tantrum

Surprise
Won’t cover-up lies
Realize
No matter how hard one tries….

When you said “trust me”
Thought you meant for real
Now, will you confide in me
Scrutinize the deal

LYRICS
Caped crusader
Man of steel
Can anybody tell me
What’s the real deal
I can’t see
The crime of the century
Maybe all of history
A vast conspiracy
In need of repeal
What’s the deal
… the real deal?

To whom do you cater
Where’s your corporate seal
Can anybody tell me
What’s the real deal
I can’t see
(chorus)

No heroes till later?
Wait for the feel?
Can anybody tell me
What’s the real deal
I can’t see
(chorus)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Approaching some sort-of Danger Zone
Searching for some sort-of safe place
Escaping from “gone mad” human race
… guess I’m not alone
Gone amiss in their crisises [sic]
Quite a mess.
A total miss.
Can’t you see
The emergency?

No more emperor
Sitting on his seat
While women and children
Are living on the street
No more president
Trying to represent
Skepticism through racism

LYRICS
I’m led to believe
You’ve been misled
Alive or dead?
Deep down inside
Shed that pride
It’s all hypocrisy
Covering inadequacy

I believe your brain
Borders insane
Numb or dumb?
Deep down inside
Shed that pride
It’s all hypocrisy
Covering inadequacy

We can do better
Forgive the debtor
As they forgive us
Plus
We’ll do unto them
As we wish them
To do to us
The rub of love

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Down and dirty
In the nitty gritty
The absurdity
Of popularity
Giving pity
To the oh so petty
Getting ready
To diversify
Going to try

The acidity
Of their reality
In the country
In the city
Steadfast policy
Of hypocrisy
A democracy
In conspiracy
Really more tyranny
Lacking transparency
We’re about to kick ’em out

LYRICS
Does anybody know what year we’re in?
Feels like the 50’s all over again
Know what I mean
No vaccine
Race relations
On vacation
Does anybody know what year we’re in?
Feels like the 50’s all over again
People thinkin’ KKK’s OK
Political winkin’ “Another day”
Does anybody know what year we’re in?
Feels like the 50’s all over again
A president that advocates hate
Tainted with Christianity insanity
Feeling a little too much like Groundhog Day
Geeze, wouldn’t you say
We’ve found a better way?
