bookmark_borderAs Worm

LYRICS
Trying to enlist the capitalists
Ain’t that funny when it’s all about money
It’s kinda hard to play that card
When the art of the deal is how to steal
Hope you didn’t forget
The safety net
If their building’s tall
The farther the fall
In the next life
When they come back as worm
Probably learn
How it feels to squirm
Try to fill their greed
With what other people need
No chance they’ll concede
’cause they think they’re in the lead
things will take their natural course
When you exploit your natural resource
It’s obvious, yes, of course
Scenario can’t get worse

LYRICS
Lies!
Lie upon lie
Lies!
Lies and more lies
Pardon my total surprise
I did not realize
Lies, lies and more lies

Did you see there at it again
I don’t know even where to begin
Lies!
Lie upon lie
Lies!

Just take a look around
The ice is all in meltdown
Sea level rising at a rapid pace
Not sure we can win this race
Though you beg to differ
All you have to offer —
Lies!
Lie upon lie
Lies!
Lies and more lies
Pardon my total surprise
I did not realize
Lies, lies and more lies

Respiratory illness
Amongst the things killing us
Climate change anxiety
Caused by your insanity
And your lies!
Lie upon lie
Lies!
Lies and more lies
Pardon my total surprise
I did not realize
Lies, lies and more lies

bookmark_borderMixed Breed

LYRICS
The problem when you’re purebred
Is you’re likely brain dead
Yes, indeed
When you inbreed
(ole’ gene greed)
Sorry to perplex
A tad too complex
Better to mix
Yes, indeed
To be mixed breed
You’ll concede
Go on take a stab
Yes, a lil’ lab
And I’ve found
There’s some hound
When they through a fit
’cause you’ve got some pit
The bit of pit
Call their bull, dog
Who’s the hog?
Yeah, they’re full
Of it

bookmark_borderThe Balance Dance

LYRICS
There’s a conman down in D.C.
Making crime look so easy
And don’t ever forget it
The world’s biggest bigot
Assuming it’s true
What are going to do
Assuming it’s true
How about you?

A molester on your front porch
Even more in your church
As far as your daughter
Hope they never got her?
Assuming it’s true
What are going to do
Assuming it’s true
How about you?

When it comes to global warming
Did we heed the warning
It would have been nice
To save a little ice
Assuming it’s true
What are going to do
Assuming it’s true
How about you?

You can make a difference
If you give yourself a chance
The trick is in the balance
Of your music and your dance
Assuming it’s true
What are going to do
Assuming it’s true
How about you?

LYRICS
I’ve got to admit it’s getting hard any more
You’ve got to admit it’s getting hard any more
We’ve got to admit it’s getting hard any more
Does anyone know what we’re fighting for
Is anybody even keeping the score

Does anyone know what we’re working for
No matter how hard you work you still get poor

Does anyone know what we have in store
Does anyone know who’s behind the door

Does anyone know what we’re standing for
To be reality or just more folklore

Does anyone know what we’re waiting for
If we wait any longer, we are where we were before

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

bookmark_borderStolen Glory

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]

Want to know if you have it in you

Wants to know if she can count on you?

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}

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)
