who are all these fuckers in my garden
who are all these monsters in my garden
dont bother brother dont bother big brother
who will defend us from the pig men
they poke and they prod us and then play the victim
dont bother big brother
you say you got the power
well now is the hour
hey kid you got all the power
oh now is the hour
oh yeah

NOSTALGIC BUM
04:26
|

uno you were there for me in between realities we sang and danced routinely through their bleeding hearts
theyre piggies underneath
theres something up their sleeve
a ring around the rosie rolling somewhere in the crowd
for them to infiltrate your fun
Uno was good company, sure they made mistakes but we all do
and you know its true that no one is free if one of us is struggling to get through and the nostalgic bum in me just wants to amplify the truth
but what good what it do?
oh its under control
oh its always under control
they softly softly
crush us into dust
if we resist one tiny little bit
and if we must
we'll break or bust
until the imbalance is fixed
Uno wasnt there there the day that i came home
i looked everywhere i tried them on their phone
i can feel it in the air
theres something going on
now Uno wasn't the type to take so long to respond
and then we got the dreaded call
Uno had been killed by the Law
the long arm of the Law
can you feel it
pushing down
can you feel it pushin?

NEVERENDING STORIE
02:35

if i survive the night i'll tell you why
i tried to hide beneath the light
so bright
i couldn't tell which one was left and which of us was right
in time inside
the extraordinary mind
its rare to come across your kind
you never got your chance to shine
if i define the light inside your eyes
Id never have to tell you why
the sight of the afterlifes
we witnessed while we waited for our rights...
never ending storie
if i survived the garden of delights
and ate the ashes from your heights
then i could rise above the lies
ohhhh above the Nothing...

IT NEVER ENDS
02:41

violence on the street tonight
the cops dont seem to know whats right
theyre marching for freedom
marching for their lives
even journalists are getting rubber bullets to the eye
it never ends for those who arent white
the system depends on a racial divide
you know it was written you know it was signed
by the people who profit off the backs of black lives
break it down friends
for some of us it never ends
heres what we gotta do
we have to listen to the truth
burn it down again until they listen they are no friend
protests on the street tonight
watch for the once who escalate the fight
they wear riot gear the side they chose is clear

LOVE IS NEVER ENOUGH

and join the club
and love
oh

or to blame
the down trodden crawl in their families forgotten names
with grace

its tough to admit when yer wrong but i'm not a quitter but i quit
and it sucks to be me
but i know i got the privilege to walk safely down the street
so lets talk lets disagree
you say its an "attack" to criticize the dear police
they got the guns the tanks
we're on our knees
michael stipe deserves better
we dance and sing like perfect imitations of ourselves as human beings
we laugh at the seven headed beast as it ties itself in knots and then falls back into the sea and no man is really free as long as one is suffering at the hands of these bullies
and its not yet the end of the world you'll see
michael stipe deserves better

NO STANDARDS ONLY TEAMS
02:00
|
|||
|
were having the time of our lives
pushing hard for the status quo
ignoring the pain and the lies
just so you can feel that much more comfortable
you wont lift a finger to fight
we build your prisons we steal your dreams
to the sunken place down inside
you know we have no standards
only teams
they change the rules right before your eyes
then hide in the back with a heart of gold
ignoring the pain and the lies
its a must if you can run and join the carnival
we're having the time of our lives
we just pretend to listen
then we sink our teeth
our donors want us to appear nice
and thats why we have no standards only teams

A BRIEF HISTORY OF LOVE
02:40
|
|||
|
here we go again i need to listen before i speak
thats where i learned to care when i became aware that there were others just like me
and they were beautiful
to the touch
Oh i loved them so much
and so i found the words that best described my sight and sound
what i was witnessing was such a thing it was tough to narrow down
and i was terrified
to the touch
i couldnt love them enough
where we go from here i guess we'll find out in a tweet
if there's one thing i learned
its that the devil don't burn til you cut away his strings
and let him turn bright orange
to the touch
the man has never known love
before you go just know i wasn't trying to be deep
i was alive for a while and ya'll made me smile
and those are memories that we keep
and youre beautiful
a brief history of love

WEEZING RIVERS

yer killing yerself you salty pillar you had to look because it was a mirror that couldnt reflect anothers experience
you went and let it burn all night
theyre gonna make you learn alright
yer drowning yerself in the wheezing rivers you couldn't fight back
against the legal killers theyre bound to attack
imagine that
it was your skin that was black
it was your kid shot in the back
to preserve this state violence
to everything a turn thats right
the systems gonna burn all night
youre never gonna learn
the wheezing rivers underneath my mask
i sat beside myself out of your grasp
as you sold my ashes for cash

MINE IN YOURS*
02:17
|

|
five to one baby one in five
no one here gets out alive
so we shake the trees and kiss the sky
theyre shakin at the knees dont bother to hide
cuz if you let them ride
we'll never get shit done
so mine in yours and yours in mine
together we will walk into the fight
fires burning hot and reached the sky
dont say we didnt warn you dont look so surprised
you turned a big blind eye
to the peoples plight
and now theres egg on your face as you try to distract us from your lies
and now you wanna blame the minority
instead of the majority
or the authority
you know the whole world can see
five to one baby one in five
fathers teach your sons how to survive
in a system that was built to keep you deprived
you never cared to listen
and now comes the time
mine in yours in mine in yours

SATISFY YOURSELF
03:08
|

satisfy yourself before its too late
just make them think you got plans make them wait
dont deny yourself the pleasures dont delay
they moved onto drastic measures for their parade
multiply yourself until you can play
dont let them take your lands don't let them escape
because you teach an eye for an eye and they left you there to die
satisfy yourself before its too late
theres something happening here what it is i cant say
ive never wanted anything so bad before
you gotta satisfy yourself yeah

THE VANISHING HEART
01:56

motion sensors prevent the hiding
theyve gone and built so high
and with hate on the rising
theyre reaching for the sky
and heres why
this here moment in time
right before our eyes
brutalized
right before our eyes there was no compromise
only riot geared thugs
who couldn't tell a gun from a book
law law law
law law law
law law law
law law law...
