LYRICS
Look around for the downpour
Reigning down on the poor
Poor bastards can’t take it any more
Look around for the downtrodden
Being ruled by the rotten
Poor bastards all but forgotten
The authority isn’t right by me
See the “blind eye” so clearly
An elixir for the grifter
Disrupting harmony
The authority isn’t right by me
See the “blind eye” so clearly
Watch him shake and break until nobody’s free

We’re found in the downpour
Raining down on our core
Rich bastards getting cleansed for sure
We’re found with the upbeat
Singing voices… dancing feet
Shuffle play and repeat

LYRICS
For those that think it’s best
The rest are just a pest
If you try to address their mess
They’ll pass the buck to the next
Patriot bull$hit
Political rhetoric
(This $hit is thick)
Do no harm? Sound the alarm!
Men in suits stole the loot
Savage beast… to say the least

For those that boast “I’m the most”
At last, first will be last
At last, last will be first
Their reign quenching our thirst
Redemption nation
Alienation salvation
(Hallelujah hallucination)
Is justice justified
Is your hide on the ride
Was downside… now upside

LYRICS
Please relieve what I believe
Scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours
Politicians in positions
Cutting deals behind closed doors
Above the law
Below the belt
Makes my face melt
Leaving me in awe
(Shock and all. Shock and awe… above the law)

“Ahh, poor baby. Join the pity party.”

Republican “can but won’t” party
Democratic “erratic” party
Seems that I’m in the majority
Joined the pity party

Bliss is the ignorance of business
Make a profit God damn it! That’s it!
Claim immunity from highway robbery
Place your order… get away with murder
Above the law
Below the belt
Makes my face melt
Leaving me in awe

LYRICS
Which hunt!
What the #uck?!?!?!
Walks like a duck
Quacks like a duck
What the #uck?!?!?!

Which hunt? Witch hunt? Which witch?
Does a duck float?
Does a witch gloat?
Maybe the idea is not so remote
Which/witch hunt
Put him to the test
At best
If it grabs you by the ¢unt
To be perfectly blunt….
Which hunt
Witch found
But, will anyone come ’round
To claim him… chance’s slim
Thus, God save us

Which hunt? Witch hunt? Which witch?
The one who hangs ’em out to dry?
Hang ’em high!
Wait! News that’s fake

To be perfectly blunt….
Which hunt
Witch found
But, will anyone come ’round
To claim him… chance’s slim
Thus, God save us
Amen
(Please come again)

LYRICS
Leaving it up to you
Since I don’t know what to do
Leaving it up to you

Conman in the White House
Politician’s a louse
Don’t need to think twice
When it comes to getting lice
Leaving it up to you
Since I don’t know what to do

Global warming warning
What do we need to heed
Spokesman is a hoax, man
I heard the dead men said
Leaving it up to you
Since I don’t know what to do

Bombing babies in cities
Error in the war on terror
Create parents irate
A radical can’t chill
Leaving it up to you
Since I don’t know what to do

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

LYRICS
Oh, please! In days such as these
I see apathy as disease
Did you know when you cope
You give others hope

Here’s a few clues
There is no fake knews
Did you know when you believe
It’s a true relief
Relieve by true belief

Oh, please! In days such as these
I see apathy as disease
Did you know when you smile
You go the extra mile

Oh, please! In days such as these
I see apathy as disease
Did you know your sympathy
Is the cure of apathy

LYRICS
While tryin’ livin’ the life given
At large
My biggest concern is to discern
Who’s in charge?
Are you ready to believe it
Ready to believe it
Ready to believe it or not

Searchin’ for some relief
From this disbelief
The certainty of this reality
Causing too much grief

A babbling, blabbing, bullying
Commander In Chief
Under a rock a cartoon loon
Was beneath

Are you ready to believe it
Ready to believe it
Ready to believe it or not
Brain rot
This nation’s got
Brain rot
Believe it or not

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Who needs drugs or a gun
When you’re already dead
From your heart to your head?
We’ve come undone
From the hatred we’ve bred

Standing way out in left field
America’s favorite passed time
Don’t ever show ’em how you feel
Or they’ll steal this bliss and our sublime

Blanding infecting the healed
America’s irate past lives
Selling the soul is “The Art of the Deal”
Watching as humanity dives

I understand the movement at hand
Is to harvest our “heart” land
And know the bounty will overflow
Our love can grow and grow
And then go and go

LYRICS
If you go out of the house tonight
You might want to hold on to your life tight
Ole’ Farmers Almanac is exact
They say this is the day
The landshark embark
On their annual migration
(They flee from D.C.)
Though praying “permanent vacation”,
Fear just temporary hibernation

If you go out in the broad daylight
You might gain insight into fright
Folklore’s right even if trite
Their bark is nothing like their bite
They say this is the day
The landshark embark
On their annual migration
(They come from Washington)
Though praying “permanent vacation”,
Fear just temporary hibernation

Fear the bark of the landshark!
Into the debate delve?
When was the War Of 1812?
Who do you presume…
Buried in Grant’s tomb?

LYRICS
Minimum wage, drinking age
Paragraph 1a), first page
It’s a…
Mixed-up bureaucracy betwixt hypocrisy
Fix is in conspiracy
So, corrupt I can see
(From see to slithering see)

Busking permit, speed limit
Paragraph 1a), original edit
Mixed-up bureaucracy betwixt hypocrisy
Fix is in conspiracy
So, corrupt I can see

Do not enter, do not loiter
Paragraph 1a) to the letter
Mixed-up bureaucracy betwixt hypocrisy
Fix is in conspiracy
So, corrupt I can see
Indeed,
You need a permit to read the permit to read, indeed.

Cross at the green, not in-between*
*see the small print… do you know what I mean?

Law can’t bend, won’t amend
Signed, sealed, send… The End

Shouldn’t 2 parties be twice as fun?

LYRICS
Before you know it
They’re right back at it again
Oh, no! They won’t quit
I don’t know where to begin

Like a coon cat that’s in heat
A viscous car fight all the night
Never ever admitting defeat
Hard to see when they put out your light

Get too close to the bluejay’s egg
They say you’ll feel the fear of flight
Hurry! Move it! Better shake a leg
Or peck your eye out, they just might

Tow little boys fighting over a toy
Head-to-head in a tug-of-war
Until the toy they destroy
Ummm… in a tantrum fit ’cause there is no more

Going to 2 parties
Pretty pity parties
Pretty petty pity parties

LYRICS
Falling way back
Nostalgic attack

I don’t know… how about you
We’re you ’round in ’42
Going way back
… Nazi on a Jew?
Saying, “There’s nothing I can do”
Spending all of your time
Committing war crime

Got way back

When you spout your opinion
Cry like I’m choppin’ onion
Take it all back
Thinking everyone is your minion
Get way back
You’re a panic attack
Spending all of your time
Committing war crime

FBI Calls Trump a Liar “White House Lies”

LYRICS
When you are the President
Please don’t set the precedent of denying… denying denying
When you are the President
Please don’t set the precedent of lying… denying lying
World peace cease… situation dire
When the whole world knows you’re a liar
Citizen cries over “White House Lies”
You’re a liar
Foreign nation population tries but dies
You’re a liar

Hear the cries from all over the world
Here and now you’ve been told
You’re a liar
Fiddle all night by the fire’s light
To the delight of the people’s fright
You’re a liar
Nero, you’re no hero
From 1-10… zero
Won’t you please go blow
(Go below. Go be low. You know… go blow)

In a crowded theater when there’s no one near it
Everyone can hear it… yelling, “Fire!”
You’re a liar
We should impeach over freedom of speech
You’re a liar

LYRICS
The ice caps are melting
Nor’easterner’s whipping
While methane is leaking
Mother Nature’s weeping
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Look deep in the core
CO2… so much more
Man’s destruction of the land
I just don’t understand
Watching species die
You know the reason why

I suspect all the insects
Will out live the vertebrae
Wanted! The global warming suspects
Will man ever see the day
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Does anybody care
About saving the tree
What about the world we share
Or is it only me?
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Deep In The Core.mp3
