LYRICS
Of all the low down dirty
Looks like the gloves are off
Heard it from a lil’ birdy
Sad tale of flame and moth
A question for you
Have ya really thought this one through?

A yellow-bellied pansy
Against a chicken gone crazy
A ruby-throated zombie
Thrown in as referee
A question for you
Have ya really thought this one through?

Front row ringside
Watching fate collide
Now something you’ve come to know
The need to wear a gore poncho
A question for you
Have ya really thought this one through?

LYRICS
Don’t know when I’ll be back
Going off on a fact-check
That the heck?
So, I’ll ask you
How long to view
For what is true
When there’s no truth
What’s my time worth?

Don’t know when I’ll be back
Going off on a fact-check
That the heck?
Your power to deceive
Your prowess in deceit
For what it’s worth
To speak the truth

Going off on a fact-check
Don’t know when I’ll be back

LYRICS
I don’t know about the cause
But after the alarm
The reason for pause…
Old white men in control
Cause out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control)

I don’t know about the cause
But resulting in harm
Turns us to was
Old white men in control
Caused out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control)

Sounding the alarm for years
[howling and sirens]
Spreading and shedding tears
Now you tell me…
None can see?
Nobody hears?
Old white men in control
Chose out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control
… guess that’s how they roll)

Most shockin’ —
At the peril of their own kin
… the demise of their own tribe
Too late to think to learn to think
EXTINCT!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The hammer of justice
Is poised above us
And sooner or later
The hammer will fall
After all,
The hammer will fall

Not a juror nor spectator
We’re on trial on the while
The hammer of justice poised above us
And sooner or later
The hammer will fall
After all,
The hammer will fall

Where’s the support
For order in the court
For whom does the gallows’ pole toll
The hammer of justice poised above us
And sooner or later
The hammer will fall
After all,
The hammer will fall

It’s hard to bail
When you have no bail
Looks like we’ll spend the night in jail
With the hammer of justice poised to fall
And sooner or later
The hammer will fall
After all,
The hammer will fall

LYRICS
As to the taste of the highfalutin
And fancy
As to the waste… the flatulence
Of the lazy
If you’re head is up your ask
It’s kind-of hard to bask
In the limelight (Right?)
The envy is not green
If you know what I mean?
Jealousy of decrepitcy
Is beyond silly
Delicious ludicrous
Salacious hypocrites
And dimwits

LYRICS
Who wants to be the agitator
Of a wasp or an alligator
Not long to ponder
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest

Watch the silly monkey
Mouse around with the angry
What a silly monkey
To horse around…
With tolerancey

Who wants to be the one to rile
A viper or a crocodile
No time to wonder
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest
(chorus)

Who wants to be the one to say “I am!”
When asked the task
“Who’ll put their head in the mouth of this lion?”
No time to squander
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest
(chorus)

[Poke the bear… if you dare]

LYRICS
Do you hear war drums
Cat n’ dog at it again?
Flash of firing guns
Let the war games begin!
Once cannonballs are flying
Youth rising are dying
Time we end the debate
Over hate
(No debate. End the hate.)
The left and the right
In the middle between their fight
Brings out the fright
They may never see the light
Dropping like flies
Got our rights in their sights
Everyone dies
They say,
“Live to fight another day”

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Too bad… mad
In every sense
Or lack there of
Membrane dense
Heart without love
Mad… angry
I can see
Mad… crazy
Sad to see
Insane in the membrane
Just hate does remain?
Where to begin?
“Don’t let them in!”
Another hypocritical sin
Jesus! You claim religion
And, dig your heels in
You claim, “America first!”
Yet, native blood you thirst
Just another rampant tangent
Bible thumper stumped
Gone mad… sad.

LYRICS
Losing all respect for the country folk
Living in sin… part of a bad joke
Redneck hate hoping we’ll choke
Oh, Lord, help them see
They need religion more than me
Oh, Lord, show them light
’cause racist bigotry just ain’t right

High hypocrisy the least of the crime
With that laundry list they should be doing time
Redneck hate dissipates too late
Oh, Lord, help them see
They need religion more than me
Oh, Lord, show them light
’cause this ignorance bliss just ain’t right

Every time they shout “U.S.A.”
Someone should show them the way
Redneck hate dissipates too late
(chorus 1)

Losing all respect for the country folk
It’s a sin the fun that they poke
Redneck hate hoping we’ll choke
(chorus 2)

LYRICS
Walled-off in his “emperor’s clothes”
His heart is empty
His mind is closed
He doesn’t seem to know
His seams don’t show
Bare-assed and dangerous
The wolf in wolf’s clothing
… clinging…
To the darkness
They say he has no vertebrae
Yet, he thinks he rules the day
The king of the worms squirms
Drained his swamp
Mad, he stomps
Coldblooded crawl
Cold hearted claw
Ate procrastinate to stall
But, after all…
We all heed the call

LYRICS
The skew in you
Misconstrue
To narcissistic view
I’m in between in and out
Not sure what you’re talking about
Fear I may hit the floor
If you say any more
No more
Noooo… no more

Someone needs to correct you
’cause you’re talking cuckoo
The narcissistic view
(You, you, you)

I’m in between in and out
Not sure what you’re talking about
Fear I’ll go through the roof
Train-of-thought is too aloof

LYRICS
Though the sky is bright and clear
There is something still to fear
Another storm is drawing near
Round up those you hold dear
Send ’em below (or to the rear)
Make it known for all to hear
No one winds an economic war
The rich get poorer…
So do the poor
Trade your trade war
For no more

Look out past the horizon
There’s a hard rain and wind that’s drivin’
In its path weaving leaving none
When all is said and done
(Q) How deep will the loses run?
(A) A total loss and none have won

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

LYRICS
Yet another cog
“Do you mind if I pet your dog?”
Do you know what I mean
He’s his own being
He’s not my dog
He’s not my dog

No, he’s not my property
He’s as free as free can be
Believe me
He does as he please
He frees!
He’s not my dog
He’s not my dog

Release your soul from a noose
Set your heart and mind loose
Do I mind if you pet my dog?
Take your memory for a jog….
He’s not my dog
He’s not my dog
He does as he please
He frees!
He can start to free your heart
And to your mind be kind
(Man’s best therapy
Free as free can be)
