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

Gay / N. Church
Destined folklore fables
Police soliciting merch.
Is Jesus turning tables?
(You and your righteous labels)

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

bookmark_borderMajor Ordeal

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

LYRICS
If they say you’ve got to grin and bare it
Are they aware you don’t want to hear it
Raise your voice by choice and dare to share it

[verses whispered]
Something’s quite wrong
Corruption’s going on
For way too long
Policeman as the con

Something’s quite wrong
Corruption’s going on
The Mayor’s a player
Justice delayer

Something’s quite wrong
Corruption’s going on
Shocking disbelief
In the police chief

LYRICS
The one in the spotlight
Doesn’t look right
Crush him with might

They’re at it again
Their habit of sin
No one can win

The one with the guitar
Can’t get that far
Coat him with feathers… coat him with tar

Chorus

The one in the spotlight
If he puts up a fight
Reign him with fright

The police as slayer
Of the guitar player
Under the nose of the Mayor

LYRICS
I have a wish
It’s not like this
What comes to mind
Is being kind

There’s no debate
A reign of hate
A little late
It’s raining hate

Vinegar n’ piss
Waterless fish
Hope you can find
How to be kind

They’re so irate
Mental masturbate
They just can’t wait
To dish out hate

LYRICS
Here’s the problem with the thing
Have you the freedom to sing?
Dare you take a chance…
n’ be free to dance

Growing dependence on Independence Day

How can you be reciting
When they’ve outlawed reading
Sure seems their fights
Violate rights

Growing dependence on Independence Day

At times I’m at a loss
No mimes says the boss
No juggling, music or magic
… I’m getting sick

You can’t let it get to you
No, you can’t let it get to you

Remember the name of the game

That’s what they want to do
Alter your point-of-view

You know that they have no clue
Everyone roots you pull through

When nobody cares…

Trying to bring justice with moronic spite
If you ask me, that just ain’t right
Hate crimes? Sometimes
And other felonies pursue
If your not careful… they’ll beat their law into you

And you, too
