LYRICS
They come from the far left
The omniscient best
They come from the far right
When wrong they fight
Where the middle of the road
Must carry the load
Beyond bizarre
That far?
Might as well be from Madagascar

Do the Republican Can-can dance
Everyone can drop their pants
Do the Foxtrot with the Democrat
Everyone smells like a rat
Stand back!
The pot calling the kettle black
Pound fist!
Racists race to call racists racist
Beyond bizarre
That far?
Might as well be from Madagascar

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
An eruption of corruption
Or, more like an ejaculation due to mental masturbation

soundcheck

A song about the justice system
In particular, the Pennsylvania Justice System
And, the situation in which I’m in
That would be Montgomery County

The accused — Risa Ferman (esquire)
I’ve never been victimized ’till I realized the discrimination
This attorney would reign down on me
This hell she would rain
I’m talking about wreaking havoc
Until I’ve had it
I was told to go away and never come back
And, if I had to be shot, why not
Under the gun
Forced to run
Under the auspice
Of the unhospitableness of Risa Ferman
(She’s got it out against men, man)
Some district attorney
She’s not only hurting me… she’s hurting all humanity
When she’s raining tyranny
When she’s reigning tyranny

Declared an outlaw
By an outlaw
There must be a flaw?

LYRICS
Abomination
A black-eyed nation
Finding ourselves
In a sticky situation

Doing the same thing over and over agin’
Thinkin’… this time it won’t be the same
That’s just insane
Doing the same crime throughout time
Stuck in a rut of the moral lame
Slain our own brain

Appropriation
Of the Indian nation
Finding ourselves
In a sticky situation

Hypocrites fighting agin’ immigration
Thinkin’ we’ll be the ones to survive a purification
Hallucination
But yes indeed through our greed we succeed
In winning the war on self-mutilation
Degradation

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
Capo 2
Em G/Em
Em Am
Em C D Em

This song is about hating hate. I’ve been assaulted by the police more times than anyone I know. I’ve been assaulted by police in Montgomery County, Chester County and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I’ve witnessed police and federal agencies assaulting people in many more locals. It has never been about race. After reading a bunch of racist posts about police brutality and corruption, I go on to read hate posts about immigration. Hello, Earthlings?!?! Is there anyone home? (Still no sign of intelligent life.)

The video features articles, pictures and footage of police intimidation, police brutality and police corruption by The Doylestown Police Department, The Whitpain Township Police Department, The Lower Providence Police Department, The West Chester Police Department, The Philadelphia Police Department, Homeland Security, U.S. Fish And Wildlife, U.S. Park Rangers and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

LYRICS
For hours, days, weeks and years
The fears of time moving too fast
’till a time when you wonder how long it will last

Chorus
Endure the torture
A nano-second at a time
Endure the torture
It’s gotta be a crime

Enough to bring a grown man to tears
God how long will time stand still
God have mercy — how long until….

Chorus

Are the clock’s hands even moving
The hourglass’ sands dropping
It the half-life even halfing?

LYRICS
Sorry to say…
The documents are based on falsified information
Ya know, falsified info.
Whoa! Falsified info.
Does that blow?

Chorus
How could this be
The Judge and the District Attorney
In a conspiracy
Oh! The hypocrisy

(That’s it! A hypocrite)

Knock me out of my socks
You can’t just alter the docs
… can’t just alter the docs

Ahhhh… Urgh… Ooooo nooooo

Chorus

The police won’t cease breaking the law
Talk about your shock and awe
Talk about your shock and awe

Chorus

It’s hard to chill
When they’re trying to kill

LYRICS
Have you ever been the victim of corruption
And at a loss for what to do
Public corruption in the Justice institution
Consider it ironic? Consider it tainted, too

The police, attorneys and judge to name a few
It’s hard to believe these animals are running the zoo
At a loss for what to do

Have you ever been the victim of a public servant
No one can believe it’s true
The way they manipulate and circumvent
Attempting to leave no clue

The police, attorneys and judge to name a few
It’s hard to believe these animals are running the zoo
At a loss for what to do

LYRICS
When the government
Wants to implement
Some sort of punishment
It’s time to vote
To take a toke
Time to invoke
A recall of ’em all

When a politician
Takes a position
Of persecution
It’s time to vote
To take a toke
Time to invoke
A recall of ’em all

LYRICS
Does anybody care that it isn’t fair
Sometimes somebody’s gotta say
It really shouldn’t be this way

The police lying about their crimes
While they are trying to silence mimes
It really shouldn’t be this way

So you want to start over
Do it all over again
Push reset without regret
It really shouldn’t be this way

So, It really shouldn’t be this way
We hoped to never see this day
When people enjoy causing dismay
It really shouldn’t be this way

LYRICS
There’s a fly in the ointment
Without an appointment
Does anybody anywhere even care
There’s a fly in the ointment
Without an appointment
Is anybody aware

There’s a guy holding office
That’s a public disgrace
Does anybody want to save face
Give a try grasping this
Human rights aren’t hit or miss
Let us create some space
