You rise like a god damn Phoenix from the dust
Looks like the backhanded compliment machine shook off the rust
You don't have to police me - I know you're not a cop.
I'm not trying to be difficult but the bullshit's gotta stop.
Leave the tweeting for the ovenbirds,
They are getting short on habitat
You could clearly have it worse
So quit complaining about your life.
So leave the tweeting for the oven birds they're getting short on habitat
it's difficult to find the words, I'd have to say to have you back.
She grew like a wildflower field from the soil
Intelligent and adorable believable and loyal,
She won't partake on violence, toward the creatures or toward the land.
I'm not trying to be difficult but Id love to hold your hand.
leave the tweeting for the ovenbirds,
Most of them are busy finding mates
I could clearly do much worse
Could you please be my hiding place cuz
Tweeting is for oven birds
they've lost like half their habitat
It's difficult to find the words
I'll have to say to have you back.
It seems that patience
Is something that alludes you
Isolation
Is something that I'm used to
Waiting for the ovenbirds in other words all I'm trying to say is I'm not trying to hear you whine I'm not trying to hear you wine, why do you always gotta wine?

damn thing

Sometimes I didn't have to worry about a damn thing
Growing up I knew some people who really didn't have a damn thing
Running from my problems so fast I pull my hamstring
I know it might greedy to want my life to be this easy
But i don't want anything bad to ever happen to me.
Behind the lies you still lay breathing
Still alive and still staying true
I don't want anything bad to ever happen to you
Trapped in my mind I don't know if I can shake it,
I'm up all night and I'm going crazy
take me home can't take no more right now
cruising to fast there's no brake that can save me
late night drives always seem to break me
take me home, can't take no more right now

held hostage in a hostel

This is not the end even if you think it is
this is just the way that things are.
Band-Aids do not heal they only keep the cut
Clean and prevent infection and scars.
Held hostage in a hostel
With my favorite Pentecostal
I don't know what's in this bottle
Held hostage in a hostel
Please hold on to all your horses,
There's no need to preach the gospel
take count of our resources.
Held hostage in a hostel.
Focus on the bright side that's what they used to tell me back when I was just a child
But now that I've rejected all their lies they still want me to shut the hell up and smile

I used to go to a Pentecostal Church
And almost every Sunday they would have a Time of prayer.
They call all the poor and needy all the injured and fatigued.
Up to the front to receive healing and whatever else they need.
And at least once a month
They'd invite My pal up to the front.
Even with his hearing aids he can't hear much.
They lay their hands on his shoulders.
They lay hands upon his head.
And they pray and pray and pray until my buddy finally said.
"I think that last prayer might have helped a little bit."
I never asked him if he meant it - but I kind of doubt he did.
If I were to guess I'd say he was humiliated.
So he lied to the pastor just to escape the cringe.
The congregation wept and praised the Lord.
While my friend crept to the back of the room and was ignored
I used To go to a Pentecostal Church
But the young adult leader took me for all I was worth.
This man said the Lord told him he and I should start a business.
But I was swindled by this crook. Lord Jesus, can I get a witness?
He put TVs and electronics on my card till it was maxed.
Then he kicked me out the company and never paid me back.
I used to go to a Pentecostal Church

into the dark

Into the dark
into the dark
babe will you follow me into the dark?
will you follow me into the dark
it's not at all like a walk in the park
Into the dark
into the dark
will you follow me into the dark
Will you follow me into the dark?
Please think it over before we start!
This is not something for the faint of heart!
There's paint on her face but she ain't clownin around
We just don't really want you in town
This is a lifestyle and this is a war.
But when you're with your comrades, its never a chore.
We want all people to finally be free
They want our bodies thrown into the sea,
We are at an impasse, or that's how it seems.
We make doa out of dod.
If you're so defensive then why are you here?
We're talking 800 bases... Just so we're clear.
In over 70 nations, it seems pretty weird.
If you're so damn defensive then how come you're here?
Best get back home
Oh yeah, you don't own one!
The land that you claim that you own was all Stolen
But you still better go
Before you get mopped up
We're taking your throne
And it's getting chopped up
We're gonna take all your power
And free all your pawns
In fact, well take back every thing that you've got.
We'll redistribute all the wealth and the land.
Cuz You cunts have got blood on your "invisible hands"
And if we're gonna find daylight, then we'd better start.
So babe will you follow me into the dark?

berber revolt
03:13
|

When the governor told the Berbers about the tax they'd have to pay.
That's when the Berbers they turned violent and overturned the caliphate.
So the Lord of Casablanca, blanks on what he's supposed to shout.
That's when people of the region, develop reasonable doubts.
When the Lord of clooney island, clues in that clooney has sold out,
will the glue that holds his groupies all together up and melt?
When the Jesus christ finds out about the things done in his holy name
will he be kind, or will he go beast-mode and wipe us out again?
Or maybe Jesus decides that he has to come back down to earth,
I'm sorry Jesus, but our leaders would put you straight back in the dirt.
They pit the peasants against peasants even though we know the truth.
When we misdirect our anger, we are always bound to lose.
So don't you cross that picket line, and don't ignore the fact:
That when shit hits the fan I swear: your boss wont have your back.
When The Lord of all the weirdos
Winds up wasting all his time
Trying to fix us, he will realize - this whole time we were fine.
And now that we're done with you,
And Its getting easier to see.
That even though they did as they were told
The sheep are getting fleeced
Now if the Lord of all the s*** that I put up with in my youth.
decided to make an appearance I wonder where he'd choose
To reconnect with his creation? I don't think it would be here.
Bet He'd go where all his followers weren't wallowing in fear.
And when the Lord of all the grocers shows his money-grubbing face in my town.
that's when my friends and I will confront him and confiscate his crown.

That every present darkness youd create.
Cause guilty kids are a bit more well behaved.
Those tactics were a bit deranged.
I'm pretty f****** glad that I escaped.
But instead of holding a grudge
I'm just not going to give a single f***.
I don't give a f*** about you!
That's a terrible mistake you made
I'm sorry coach if I misbehaved
I'm getting sick of these unwritten rules
I'm getting pissed I don't think this is cool
I get knocked down but I get up again
And when I'm up to bat I'm swinging for the fence

oh Detroit is a city in
The state of Michigan
Where I went to a magic show
Where there was an incident
I do not know how the hell this could have happened.
The show usually goes so Well, was I distracted.
The mm He is one of a kind
But The Michigan magician's got a lot on his mind.
The magic trick went wrong, and he murdered his assistant,
And now the Michigan magician is going to prison.
He got married three months ago to his favorite assistant,
He put her in a box , and with confidence,
He fired up his chainsaw, and cut his wife in half,
Blood flooded the stage, and the audience gasped.
This is just like a movie
Except we're behind the scenes
This is just like a movie
Or some messed up kind of dream
If this was a Movie
I would throw out the dvd
Now I'm watching a movie
As a means to try to sleep!

I am the man
I always pay attention
To God's greatest inventions
If I ignore you while you're speaking to me
it's not my intention
I get a bit distracted
Observing the aves
got nothing but respect for: Castro, Kim and Chavez.
I am the man
I need some time to focus
My folks already know this
Trade in this hocus pocus for
por Gallito del las rocas
A payday's just a potion
but it's just a drop in the ocean
i'm totally ferocious
When May day is approachin'
happy international workers day to every worker on the earth
I hope there soon will come a day, when we're finally paid what we are worth!
I am the man
I'm on a ten speed
You're on a Vespa
But you cannot catch me
Unless I letcha.
I'm not a landlord
I'm not a boss
I'm not in the military and I'm not a GD cop.
Cuz I am a man
And I am a worker
I don't get paid to go some other place and do murders.
Cuz i am a man! and i've got solidarity with every worker that i can!
