Mother Jones

Can you heal my mother jones,
So I can make it through another day?
Your blinded self interest,
I feel it --
I taste it like a poison.
You're dealing in poison.
He was a prophet,
Not for profit.
Corporate giant --
Mental misfits.
Governments,
Governing for dollars.
They're liars,
They're lying.
I need to feel it.
I need to feel that it's real.
Can you heal my mother jones?

No Salvation
03:16

I’ve been running from the long arm of the law.
And there’s no way they’ll ever find me.
Police man come and police man go,
But they do never leave beside me.
A world of wonder,
Greek tragedy?
Imagine if you will
No forest through the trees.
Only blind justice and dishonesty.
The myths that we believe
Just bring us to our knees.
God -- they have tainted your words.
Love -- they murder in your name.
Faith -- they stole a part of you,
And death is no salvation
God -- they kill in your name.
Love -- they stole a part of you.
Faith -- they tainted your words,
And death is no salvation.
No salvation.
There is no salvation.
No salvation.
There is no salvation,
If your aim is not salvation.
I’ve been running from the long arm of the law.
And there’s no way they’ll ever find me.
Police man come and police man go,
But they do never leave beside me.
There flies a hummingbird.
There sits an iron fist.
Billions of years of accidents,
Made these two things exist.
And when they fight --
Only one will win.
But the crowd is pleased,
They're on their knees,
They can’t resist.
God -- they have tainted your words.
Love -- they murder in your name.
Faith -- they stole a part of you,
And death is no salvation.
God -- they kill in your name.
Love -- they stole a part of you.
Faith -- they tainted your words,
And death is no salvation.
No salvation.
There is no salvation.
No salvation.
There is no salvation,
If your aim is not salvation.
I’ve been running from the long arm of the law.
And there’s no way they’ll ever find me.
Police man come and police man go,
But they do never leave beside me.

Shame!

Shame on you,
You’re so conscienceless,
As you wield your power under false pretense.
Shame on you for your careless indifference,
Sowing the seeds of hate for your own benefit.
You’re so racist, so proud and blameless,
So shameless in your silent consent.
Shame on you for what you’ve done.
Shame on you for what you do.
But there’s a world outside.
There’s a world outside.
There’s a world outside,
And we’re not for you.
There’s a world outside,
There’s a world outside,
There’s a world outside,
And we’re on to you.
But there’s a world outside.
There’s a world outside.
There’s a world outside,
And we’re not for you.
There’s a world outside,
There’s a world outside,
There’s a world outside,
And we’re on to you.
Shame on you for your strong-armed defense,
Of alternative truths and uncommon sense.
Shame on you for your greed and callowness,
Trading on our democracy to please your (un)civil rest.
You’re so insane, less smart than famous.
So full on your own pompousness,
Shame on you for what you you’ve won.
Shame on you for what you’ll do.

Bad Hombre

You’re one bad Hombre.
You don’t care nothin’ about anything but yourself.
You said you’re gonna come drain the swamp.
Well you better hold on real tight then.
Your words don’t add up to a grain of salt.
When will your lying and dividing end?
You don’t care nothin’ for this country or our liberty.
You don’t care nothin’ for even common decency.
You don’t care nothin’ for everyone that you deceived.
You got the 'best words', 'the best people',
Duped the church and put your name on their steeple.
You’re one bad hombre.
You’re one bad hombre.
You don’t care nothin’ about anything but yourself.
You said you want to start a registry?
You should be on the one for sex offenders.
You’re tops for demagoguery.
And the ignorance you engender.
You don’t care nothin’ for the world outside your pockets.
You don’t care nothin’ about the bombs you plan on droppin’
You don’t care nothin’ for the American people so just stop it.
Just admit it --
You don’t care nothin’ about anything but yourself.
You’re one bad hombre.
You’re one bad hombre.
You don’t care nothin’ about anything but yourself.

(UN)CIVIL
If I’m (un)civil,
It’s because I was born civil,
Raised with respect for civility.
You are so (un)civil.
So I’m going to choose to be,
Someone who says what I see.
(Un)civil in word and song,
But history won’t prove me wrong.
You are (un)civil.
So (un)civil
So if I’m (un)civil --
(un)civil we’ll be.
