It begins with an idea
And it ends with blood on the wall
Another day
Another dollar
Another BANG
Here we are
Some ones from some ones
Lost and doomed
We can’t deal with life
So we pump it full of sit coms
We pump it full of chemicals
And we pump it full of useless shit
Controlled by a time clock
Ten feet of rope is your cross
You crucified yourself, no one else did
We were too busy crucifying ourselves
You call me up
Wanting to know what to do
Wanting the answers
But I don’t understand your questions
But here’s an idea-
Let’s get together and get something done
No, wait…that makes too much sense
Let’s just drink up
I see dark days coming
New world Nazis controlling the tv god
Providing us with safe entertainment
To control us
To protect us
To bleed us dry
Napalm us through the game shows videos sports evening news
Get them before they get you
Turn your tv off
Here’s another idea
Go out into those cold mean streets
And raise your voice until is everyone is listening
March on Washington
Demand equality for all for good
And don’t leave until we fucking get them
It’s time to rise above all these petty games
It’s time to see everyone as a human and not a color
Hey, does anyone see what’s going on here?
The threats are becoming promises
The lies are eating our hearts like a cancer
We’re all choking on complacency and conservatism
The coils are tightening
We are collectively committing suicide in our pre fab society
Are we all blind?
Demand more
It’s our right
Don’t settle for chicken shit corporate facades
Don’t settle for Hallmark’s version of love
Don’t settle for Republicans or Democrats
Don’t settle for Coke or Pepsi
Don’t settle for anything
What the hell happened to our soul?
Did we lose it when we lost our spine?
Does this sound familiar
Of course it does
Because it’s the same old song and dance
And I’ll keep on doing these steps and singing this tune
Until someone starts to listen
Is this a cry for help? No.
This is a call to arms
WAKE UP!
Do you realize you are being lied to, bled to death and fucked over?
It’s time to get involved and stop thinking so much about ourselves
It’s not hard to lend a hand to those in need
And get past all the race and sexual identity phobias
Together we can tear down those walls that separate us
Then maybe we could see the world through clear eyes
See the beauty of the world and it’s people
See the forests and jungles and mountains and deserts and oceans and cities
Do you see them?
Do you see the importance in saving what’s left?
I hope so
Because we are running out of time
And we have no where to go
And mommy can’t kiss this and make it better
And daddy can’t buy our way out of it
And no fucking rock and roll benefit is going to stop it
Only we the people can
And we have to start with ourselves
Because if you can change yourself
Then you can change the world
