LYRICS
We come armed
With a left
That’s right
We come armed
With a right
What’s left
Here we come
Coming out swinging
Here we come
Liberty Bell ringing
Both our arms
Have funny bones
Prevent harms
Cries and moans
Chorus
The end of each
Fingers and thumb
Out of reach
To numb and dumb
Chorus

A Lyrical Interview about The Interview
Sony’s so knee-jerk reaction
No Constitution satisfaction
Chorus
It’s plain to see
Satirical comedy
It’s plain to see
This ain’t reality
Sony’s so knee-jerk reaction
No substitution for affirmative action
No satisfaction from retraction
No liberation without artist expression

LYRICS
How will we ever know
If we don’t let freedom go
Don’t wanna watch us age
Keeping freedom in a cage
How will we ever grow
If we don’t let freedom go
How can there be a sage
Keeping freedom in a cage
A murder of crows
Count your fingers, count your toes
If we don’t turn the page
Letting freedom outta the cage

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords – E G A D A G E
A rhyme for counting the number of crows in a murder:
One for sorrow, two for mirth,
Three for a wedding, four for a birth,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret not to be told.
Eight for heaven, nine for hell,
And ten for the devil’s own sel’
Written on the streets of West Chester, Chester County, PA. Recorded live at Everhart Park.

LYRICS
The coo of the coup is cuckoo
Insane in Ukraine
The slip in Egypt
Can you understand Thailand?
An irate police state
Eliminates primates
The destiny of liberty…
Freedom come undone
And, the walrus is us
Hey USA what do you say
Be a real pity if it comes to your city?

LYRICS
We’re building a prison
You’re already in
We’re building a prison
Too late to begin
It’s time to shout,
Breakout!
‘take my freedom,
Takeout
What’s our independence all about?
They’re building a prison
I’m already in
They’re building a prison
Too late to begin
Watch the fall… Independence Hall
Watching the fall of us all
Watch the travesty of liberty
Sights our eyes should never see

LYRICS
Justice delayed is justice denied
When it’s implied, it’s applied
Justice denied
Justice delayed
Justice dismayed
Justice denied
Black hat
White hat
What side?
Justice delayed is justice denied
It might be easy to say
A you just sit on your swing and sway
“That’s nice… justice”
Until they put you behind the bars
The accounts that might just be too bizarre
For you to realize
Treatment by your government…
You might put into size
It might not be quite right
Justice delayed is justice denied

LYRICS
You can’t smoke
You can’t drink
They’re passing a law — you can’t think
You can’t toke
Doesn’t oppression stink?
Placing the last straw
You can’t even blink
Chorus
America!
Home of the free and brave?
America!
Or are we now the slave?
The bloated bloke
Greased palm and a wink
Causing a flaw
And more than one kink

LYRICS
chorus
There’s a movement of the people
You can not deny
Oh, my, my
And, it seems it’s starting to show
Tearing at the seams
As the people get into the know
You know what I mean?
Chorus
You dare not cross the line
Or, they’ll try to crack your spine
If you dare to raise a presence
The weight will crush ’till silence
Chorus
Chorus reprise
There’s a movement toward a steeple
When the temple is the people
Try, try, try
ABOUT THIS SONG

Don’t ever forget it
I got it

All the lies that you say
Redemption you can’t pray
Until your dieing day

If you don’t face the fact
The lies you can’t take back

LYRICS
When the doom starts to loom
Go toward the omnipresent light
When storm troopers goon
Got to stick up for what is right
What is “just” must come true
True the alignment is meant
When you feel down on your luck
When you are persecuted
It’s time to give a F&%#!
Risking being executed
What is “just” must come true
True the alignment is meant

HOW TO PLAY THE PIANO PART
“White Death”….
…Simo Hayha….
…credited with 505 confirmed kills of Soviet soldiers….
…accomplished in fewer than 100 days at a time of year… with very short hours of daylight….
…He preferred to use iron sights….
…put a Finnish finish on a Russian Mosin-Nagant….
…highest recorded number of confirmed sniper kills in any major war….
…Fact not folklore….
…Fact a folk lure….
…dressed completely in white camouflage….
…kept snow in his mouth, so that the vapor of his breath would not give him away….
…No scope, no breath….
…No way….
… White Death….
… White Death….
… White Death….
… let us take a shot…
… at changing our age…
… and care a lot…
… about our damage…
… no mirage….
… let us kill kill…
… until….
we are the death of death….
kill kill while there is still until

ABOUT THE SONG
The song is a tongue-in-cheek analogy of the famous Finnish sniper that used a Russian Mison-Nagant riffle to kill Russians (becoming the most famous hidden sniper in history.) In the same fashion, what if we tried to kill killing? What if we became the death of death… by not having any humans kill other humans?

LYRICS
We’re living here in liberty
I once was blind
But, now I see
Living here
The home of the free
The land of the brave
Why can’t we behave?
I once was blind
But, now I see
We’re living here
In liberty
The light shines down
On all of us
All across the U.S.
We just need
To learn to share
And, be aware of everywhere
Now, these inalienable rights
Is that to help the plight and flight of the blight
Then, try as we may and try as we might
We can’t redefine what is right
To try and rule with an iron fist
Just gets all the other nations pissed
I once was blind
But, now I see
We’re living here
In liberty
I once was blind
But, now I see
Equality for you and me
I once was blind
But, now I see
That everyone
Can be free
