There's A War Goin' On
06:17
|

no need to choose a side
just open your eyes
open your eyes and you'll see
there a war goin on
theres a war goin on
theres a war goin on
nobody loses nobody wins
its just the state of the world we are living in
it started with a rumor then became a fact
somenoe was pulling something out
behind somebodys back
their bayonets were fixed
never intermixed would their blood be
with the bloody wasves rolling in from the sorrowful sea
repeat chorus
its no wonder why the baby cries
when we pitch one set of lies against another set of lies
its not a question of points of view
my side isnt me your side isnt you
its the books we have read that our fighting each other
lets put our books down and love one another
theres no bottom to get to i aint no sleuth
aint no way i can get to the truth
its a mistake of the hands in this no mans land
where every thing has gone wrong
now theres a war goin on
repeat chorus
everythings comng up threes we dont have to agree
but theres a war goin on
in our hearts and minds we have cut the ties that bind
theres a war goin on
you may not see it yet but when you do you wont forget
theres a war goin on
just as sure as the wind does blow everybody has got to go
theres a war goin on
repeat chorus

It doesnt matter what I believe
Im not going to interfere with you
Be whoever you want to be
Do whatever you want to do
You might be a homophobic racist
and I might be a Puerto Rican queer
But that dont mean shit to me
We're both alive and we are here
In our hearts we are brothers
And will stand together with each other
Come hell or come high water
When the tanks are in the street
It doesnt matter to me
Whether you are on the right or left
Its just your way of saying
How you want your taxes spent
Some want health education and welfare
Others want industry and war
The only thing worth fighting for
Is the safety of our people
When the National Guard tears up our streets.
Repeat chorus
I woudn't kill a chicken if i were hungry
But I wont interfere with your right to own a gun
but if you wear a badge and abuse it
ill raise my hand against you
to protect the ones i love
In 1864, General sherman burned Atlanta
26 years later, President Harrison massacred the Lakota tribes
A hundred years of atrocities,
then 76 men women and children in Waco Texas burned alive
Is that what they refer to when they pray to return to simpler times?
Repeat Chorus

I guess that politicians and priests
Are immune to the laws of the street
Theyre not like you and me
We pay the price when we cause misery
Chorus
But as sure as the sun does shine
This is not a sin This is a crime
And these criminals have got to do their time
So let the trials begin
They say Be like Jesus and forgive\
Well that’s fine if youre talking about sin
But there is a law for what those priests
And the politicians did to those kids
Repeat chorus the Pope was as radical as he seems
He would reverse the laws on celibacy
Take it from Jesus and you will learm
Its better to marry than to burn
Repeat chorus

She Is Not My Queen
02:52
|
|

Her idea of unity is everyones support
She can change the numbers if the voting comes up short
Shes the DA judge and jury in her kangaroo-ey court
but she is not my queen.
she put a warrant out on Jason then she steals the golden fleece
Took the head of John the Baptist then baptized the police
She is the goddess of a planet spinning till her orders cease
But she is not my queen
she deplores the working classes and shoves them up her ass
with torture and witchcraft she can revise the past
but all the books of blood declare that filth and rot dont last
And she is not my queen
She is the fifth wheel in the gang of four
On the road to perdition she is the door
the church made her a saint and she was adored
But she is not my queen
She seduces her uncle and becomes his spouse
Sets the dogs on her children and burns down the house
Then sniffs out the traitors with her elongated snout
And she is not my queen

come round you presidents
acknowledge your bastards
give them a piece of the pie
you all have many children
you cannot account for
but theres a flawless census taker in the sky
and he will becoming round by and by
chorus
ma ma where'smy pa
gone to the white house, ha ha ha
jefferson had a child with his slave sally
and got re elected for another term
the voting public didnt believe it could be true
it wasnt the sort of thing a president would do
but Jefferson did it and Harrison and Tyler did it too
take off your clothes lie on your back and its howdy ya do
i wouldnt be surprised if abe lincoln had himself a few
those northern slave owners were the pits
bunch of god damned hypocrites
chorus
president harding and a gal named nan
used to do in the closet ..can ya dig it man?
but when one day she slipped a sucker
he put his dick away and nevermore did fuck her
one thing youcan say for donald trump
and on this i am not kiddin
he married the whores who gave him kids
and paid off the ones who didnt
chorus
madeline brown had a kid named steven
lyndon johnson was the daddy but no body believed em
he had a white house harum bigger than king farouks
what would he want with a piece of madeline goop
after knocking her up said she was like ice cream in the summer
and after 21 years she kinda melted down
because this great lover lyndon was tired of having her around
he dumped her when her face got wrecked in a car wreck
and told his bastard son steven get your goddam arms off my neck
chorus
i remember this one son of a bitch
his given name was grover
he raped maria halpin in the clover
she had a baby , poor little orphan
his mother tucked away in an insane asylum
by the president of the united states j
ust another fart sucking truth duckin bum
a crooked politiican the nation believed in
the motherfuckers name was grover cleveland

The Children Act

What's it all about Alfie? You will never know
Your parents pleaded for your life Bloody England answered no
Chorus ....Come back Alfie come back to your mothers breast
but Alfie willnever come back
He was murdered by Theresa May Brexit
They made a law in 89 to protect children from their parents
Where is the law to protect children from governments
The bastard bitch of brexit let poor alfie die
But the Eurepean union listened to his parents' cry
Papa Francisco begged the fiend Send Alfie to Italy
The whole family will become Italian citizens Just leave it up to me
Poland stepped in to offer the best in medical care
Germany offeredmuch the same Brexit said the baby stays here
Three judges dress in robes of fire rejected all appeals and said
The baby must die. This is is the kindest course of treatment,we feel
Youan shove your judges up the statue of your Protestant whore
We'renot even citizens of your damn country anymore
In countries with a government the governor has the right
To tell a death row convict he can live another night
But in the merry state of england the prime minister will not stand
Up for the right of a baby boy to grow into a man
The doctors they are guilty of the darkest crime
The law will comfrom Italy to see they do their time
me, is send them to Nuremberg and hang them by the neck
these bastard warlock sons of bitches dont deserve to live

American Boy
04:05

I never learned how to shoot a gun
Never in my life have I hit a home run
I never learned to drive a car
Never fell in love at the end of a bar
These are not the things that bring me joy
Never wanted to be an American Boy
I was born under ancestral sin
Spawn of the killers of the Indians
All my life Ive heard nothing but lies
About the blue and the gray and the red and the white
I want to raise my voice in a song of joy
And forget about the myth of the American boy
I knew a kid whose father
Walked on the moon
Looked back at the Earth
Like a dish at a spoon
When that kid grew up
He rode with the Klan
Set fire to a church
And murdered a man
Lets forget about the myth of the American Boy
And find something better find something joyful
Sing something sweeter Sing Something true
About what you think of me and what I think of you
A handful of dust from a burned out star
Fell into the mud and here we are
Moving like flashes of light in a picture show
And what we really are I don’t think anybody knows
Never wanted to be an American Boy
Playing with the world like it was my little toy
Lets find something to share that we all can enjoy
And forget about the myth of the American Boy
Forget about the myth of the American boy
I never wanted to be an American Boy

With Trump On Our Side
06:05
|
|||
the father of the country Was a dealer in slaves
During the whiskey rebellion He dug the moonshiners' graves
He believed that the battlefield was a chessboard of the gods
And the united states of America was given favorable odds
President madison he got so upset
at the british ships sailing against americans best
he declared war against them tried to take canada too
The fire in his backyard burned a hole in his shoe
old woodrow wilson kept us out of the war
until he decided to expand the empire more
unconditional surrender
wa supposed o make the world safe for democracy
instead it gave birth to the soviets and the nazis
Watch out you commies for the truman report
he'll shoot you down just for the sport
the way he handled korea was nothing short of insane
the truman doctrine is still running the game
Warren G Harding was elected in 1920
He returned the country to normalcy
Out with the immigrants , the catholics and jews
Up with corruption we sang the workingmans blues
Then came Calvin Coolidge the silent blowhard
Busted up the police union with the national guard
Sacco and Vanzetti were executed on his watch
While organized crime was boosted a notch
when the stock market crashed in 1929
hoover assured us everything would be fine
but the depression got darker, things kept getting worse
hoover just tightened the strings of the government purse
everybody says carter was such a nice guy
he gave the bloodthirsty shah a safe place to hide
which endangered the lives of hostages in iran
while he sold rifles to the taliban
farmers lost their farms during the reign of reagun
from the presidents voodoo, the economy was spun
buying guns for the contras with the money from drugs
while the aids epidemic was swept under the rug
from one creep to another this nations been pushed
from johnson to clinton from nixon to bush
with each empire builder another piece of it dies
and things are not any different with trump on our side
