LYRICS
Say what you need to say
Do what you need to do
And I’ll be there to help pull you through
Me and you

Somehow it’s greener now
The sky blue, too
Together we can help pull us through
We as you

Sing what you need to sing
Bring what you need to bring
And we’ll be able to help play it through
Heart is true

Say what you need to say
Play what you need to play
And we’ll be there to help pull you through
We as you

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Lady Liberty stands over our country
Blind justice, totally
When freedom is the cost
I fought the law, and the law lost

Make truth and justice the American way again
When the po-po does a no-no is what I’m sayin’
When freedom is the cost
I fought the law, and the law lost

Color the artist white or blacker
All musicians’ lives matter
When freedom is the cost
I fought the law, and the law lost

LYRICS
The secret
Is their dirty habit —
They’ll never admit
They did it

As I watch their eye
Watching me…
It’s pretty darn easy
For you to see

Their bond of conspiracy
Is troubling… deeply
An eye for an eye
Or lie upon lie

Their command of literacy
Is lacking… completely
Unless their heresy
Is based on hypocrisy

LYRICS
Set yourself free
Let me be

A jerk of the knee
Reaction
Brought out the ugly
Complexion
Set yourself free
Let me be

Wanna tick of maybe a flea
Something you can’t shake easily
Set yourself free
Let me be

You got the stain on the brain
You couldn’t refrain
Sucking/flushing down the drain
Set yourself free
Let me be

Gag reflex inflects
Expulsion of regrets
Still, inflect
Less ill will
Set yourself free
Let me be

LYRICS
Friend or foe?
Hard to know
Hard to know
Friend or foe?

That’s the way things can go
If we don’t say “No!”
Friend or foe?
Hard to know

Who would of guessed the law ‘ld lie
Promise, cross my heart… hope to die
Friend or foe?
Hard to know

How did all the cops become criminals
On the evolutionary scale barely animals
Friend or foe?
Hard to know

Take advantage of the disadvantaged
The whole world should be outraged

The Mayor's Mansion
The Mayor’s Mansion

LYRICS
Better watch out or they’re gonna get you
If you let your guard down
There’s not much you can do
When the mayor wears a golden crown

Everything smashes to ashes
And we all fall down
Our sacred Constitution
Usurped by The Institution

A song written at the Mayor’s mansion
That was born on the back of others’ misfortune
The stink of hate ain’t up for debate
Elite feast on their despise of the least

Chorus

The message they’ll send in the end
“It broke. It would not bend.”
Now, humanity can not mend
Because your message was “The End”

Vocals, Guitar

Inspired by Mayor Carolyn Comitta and events at the corner of Gay and Church Streets. Recorded at the Mayor’s mansion in West Chester, PA.

WEST CHESTER, PA — The West Chester Police department continues to be tangled in an ever-growing web of police misconduct and illegal activities. Now, Police Chief Scott Bohn and Mayor Carolyn Comitta are being called into question.

Starting in April, multiple police officers have been implicated in retaliation, witness intimidation, obstruction of justice, lying under oath, falsifying police reports, conspiracy to commit a crime, interfering with an internal affairs investigation, police misconduct, terroristic threats, harassment, civil rights violations and hate crimes.

The line “Our sacred constitution
Usurped by The Institution” was inspired by a long time West Chester resident that heard about The Busking Ordinance. Thomas said, “That’s against the Constitution!”

LYRICS
There’s something wrong going on

It’s easy for me to see there’s something wrong with our authority
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills

Want the truth? It ain’t gonna happen
Liars are doing all their yappin’
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills

Public servants play the con
The misdeeds go on and on
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills

Twisting the truth is so uncouth
Beyond recognition to tell the truth

Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills
There’s something wrong going on

Stretching the truth to the breaking point
Check your gun at this juke joint

There’s something wrong going on

Can I get a men?

Knock ’em down but they keep on coming
Wild-eyed with mouths foaming
Did I mention their disease looks rabid
No rhyme or reason… God forbid!

Amen?
Barely resembles a man
Amen?
Need a moratorium… some sort-of ban

A bunch of zombies coming after me
They have no brains. That’s easy to see
When it comes to soul, none remains
Gonna wrap you up and put you in chains

Amen?
Barely resembles a man
Amen?

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

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

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

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
