Judas & The Morning After Pill
what's wrong with having it good for a change now
they're gonna let us have it good if we just help them they're gonna leave
us alone let us make some money you can have a little taste of that good
life too now i know you want it hell everybody does you'd do it to your
own kind what's the threat we all sell out every day might as well be on
the winning team can you still recollect those times when the music carried
potent prophecies of change could it be that our appointment's run its
course are we the liable ones it seems we've ceased to even care has subjugation
quelled the revolution that once filled the air divide and conquer as they
break us down and watch us fall believe their lies are true and just be
glad it isn't you leave all your demands unpressed just fall in lines with
all the rest another shill a judas all this time.
Grandstanding From The Cheap Seats
born with these opinions we've chosen to ignore
things once worth fighting for mean nothing anymore the best laid plans
the complicated schemes marginalization of a people's hopes and dreams
the common man never had a choice too pushed aside to use our voice does
our pride still run so deep that we don't mind being put to sleep the opulent
look down with madisonian disdain at the titilated insects too complacent
to complain with pavlovian precision doing just what we are told too entertained
to realize the extent of their control the common man never had a choice
too pushed aside to use our voice does our pride still run so deep that
we don't mind being put to sleep ignore your dubious pretense of freedom
in a different way oppression masked by false consent over one hundred
fifty million without a thing to say without a thing to say.
Queen & John
you spoke your piece with a trembling voice then
turned away i'm looking for reasons why do i always act this way running
on self pity i was only thinking about myself you said i never considered
you so you need some time alone now you're upstairs and i'm going down
and i know that it's my fault you're not around so this is loss how sweet
regret just don't give up on me yet i know that i've hurt you i made it
harder than it has to be if i wasn't so selfish would you want to stay
with me under any circumstance could you give me one more chance i want
so much to turn it around but this old behavior brings me down now you're
upstairs and i'm going down and i know that it's my fault you're not around
so this is loss how sweet regret just don't give up on me yet on me yet
with an aching chest and a two ton heart i retrace my steps trying to find
my part regretting words words that came out wrong at the second cup at
the corner of queen and john queen and john.
Strickland vs. Washington
in every phase and facet of national life there
is a war being waged on america's poor the only apparent solution to this
scourge of homelessness is to build more and more prisons the sun descends
on the set so slowly the prisoner waits for the final signs one last look
before the darkness takes him as the system fails by its own design believe
you're really going to make them pay keep them out of sight and locked
away compartmentalized with no way out a generation's future now in doubt
this groundswell hypocrisy seems reserved for the few who find courts of
law but no justice who dares disrupt the ordered lives of those too deaf
to heed the cries ignore the torment of the faceless millions and we'll
share a common fate this groundswell hypocrisy seems reserved for the few
who find courts of law but no justice.
Kill Your Idols
Chesterfield King And Propagandhi
one plus one doesn't equal two it equals me without
you the other one stand for you and all the things that you said do in
the place you used to be i thought you said that you were there for me
next time could you as you promised is that much for you be honest remember
the words you used to sing i remember the way they made me feel i wish
i could go back in time to when the words you said were real i lived life
of make believe i wonder what you think you will achieve i was wrong to
put my trust in you if i don't say goodbye i never will never doesn't have
to start today can't we go back to yesterday i never pushed you into anything
remember words you sang remember the words you used to sing i remember
the way they made me feel i wish we could go back in time to when i thought
the words you said were real remember words you sing remember words you
used to sing.
I Told You So
staring out ahead to the horizon where the sun
sets at the end of this black line my fears are close behind my hope and
dreams distorted by the cracks inside the windshield that seem to grow
and grow if i don't try i'll never know these things ain't easy and i knew
they'd never be and i always thought there was a fire deep inside me and
as long as i keep trying the flame will never die there's so much i want
to say a wall of doubt stands in my way so many paths for me to choose
so much to gain so much to lose and if i fail will you tell me i told you
so things ain't easy and i knew they'd never be but i always thought there
was a fire deep inside me and as long as i keep trying the flame will never
die life is a gamble just a roll of the dice it's all or nothing now cause
there's no chance to do this twice just don't seem fair at least i can
say i tried one chance one chance to live has taken everything that i could
give broken promises broken dreams and nothing ever is the way it seems
stubborn pride and blind faith when will you grow up for heaven's sake
just a little more we're almost there but time is slipping time is slipping
away can't see the future and i know that things seem bad why must i compromise
and live a life that makes me sad so many people to please besides myself
these things ain't easy and i knew they'd never be but i always thought
there was a fire deep inside of me and as long as i keep trying the flame
will never die life is a gamble just a roll of the dice it's all or nothing
now cause there's no chance to do this twice just don't seem fair at least
i can say i tried i told you so i told you so i told you so i told you
so.
Another Great Start To A Miserable Day
out here far from home across the fruited plains
dig soul for peace only to find pain now realize that no one here gives
a fuck and life is based on what you do no such thing as luck you say you
want to see what's on my mind guess what you may not like what you find
will i live to see another day is anybody really there for me you say you
want to see what's on my mind guess what you may not like what you find
will i live to see another day is anybody really there for me no one to
call no one to write my own decision to walk away or fight i'll make the
best of it and conquer everyday i'll do the best i can cause that's my
only way the school of life's experience has taught me not to trust for
few have got the will to turn away from lust impatient greed and selfish
wants outweighing any loyalties now i travel all alone because i don't
want your sympathies you say you want to see what's on my mind well guess
what you might not like what you find will i live to see another day is
anybody really there for me you say you want to see what's on my mind well
guess what you might not like what you find will i live to see another
day is anybody really there for me no one to call no one to write my own
decision to walk away or fight i'll make the best of it and conquer everyday
it's the best i can cause that's my only way so here i am again all alone
at the beginning of a long and winding road as many thoughts for every
mile to go beat on sneakers with worn down soles for every memory i keep
inside i'll remember all the times i tried i'll remember all the times
you lied and i'll remember all the times i cried.
