The Great Unrest

The right’s gone wrong, there’s no way out
They twist the truth, until there’s doubt
Wave their arms and scream and shout
The blitzkrieg rages, it’s all a game
society burst into flame
Everyone’s looking to avoid the blame
It’s getting’ real ugly
We’re being put to the test
When will we break away
From the great unrest
The dream gets stolen while we sleep
They build the cages, slaughter the sheep
The hills to climb, gettin’ much too steep
The power hungry grab the wheel
Hold on for life, beg borrow steel
Stand before them, and forget what’s real
The sound of confusion
The smell of excess
Where are the solutions
To the great unrest
A wall of mirrors - A false belief
The would be king - Is causing us grief
Playing games - with the powers that be
Building a throne - above you and me
The rumble of the marchers
The pounding of the chest
These are the frightful sounds
Of the great unrest

Down the Rabbit Hole

Strange folk, comin’to my neighborhood
They really look different, they’re up to no good
They got weird names and funny clothes
Their hair looks gross, and they got rings in their nose
If this keeps up, I’ll probably be the last
People like me, we’ll fade into the past
I’m gonna sign up, gonna fight the man
We’re savin’ our souls, that’s the master plan
CHORUS: What’s wrong with everybody?
Just open your eyes and see
Grab a gun and fight for liberty
Climb down the rabbit hole with me
Takin’ away my way of life
They want my guns, my kids, my wife
I’m gonna join a radical group
We’re plannin’ attacks, we’re outta the loop
They’re stealin’ my freedoms by the light of the moon
They’re hiding little boys in a basement room
Only selling pizza, that’s what they say
They think they’re foolin’ us, we’ll make ‘em pay
CHORUS:
You know there’s a world wide conspiracy
Comin’ to get you comin’ to get me
They want to inject a chip under your skin
Over my dead body, yeah, we’re gonna win
Elvis is alive, Paul is dead
Don’t believe the things people said
The revolution is alive and well
We’ll all end up rotting in hell

He went into the family business
His daddy taught him well
He made his deals, he spun the wheels
He learned to buy and sell - buy and sell
He built his Ivory Towers
Put his name up in the sky
He picked the people’s pockets
As they tried to walk on by
CHORUS: He’s the richest man in wasteland
Living high off the corporate greed
He’s got everything he ever wanted
But nothing he really needs
He goes to the finest parties
Wears the trendiest clothes
He’s got a face that the whole world sees
But no one really knows - really knows
He dines at the finest restaurants
With his latest trophy wife
He’s the envy of all that see him
But is it a happy life - happy life
CHORUS:
He hangs with the politicians
He just loves the power trip
He will not stop until he’s on top
And tightens up his grip - let it rip
He climbed the corporate ladder
There’s bodies in his wake
But he never cared he’s got his share
And the rest of the news is fake - it’s all fake

Crazy World

The lie becomes the truth
And the truth becomes a lie
Good has turned to bad
And bad will get you high
Politicians on the stomp
make promises they won’t keep
Does anyone even care anymore
Talk’s become so cheap
CHORUS: It’s a crazy world – take a look around
It’s a crazy world - nerves are tense and wound
It’s a crazy world - priorities upside down
Ohh! - It’s a crazy world
Madison Ave. executives
have their boardroom talk
Finding ways to sell their goods
to create a rise in stock
We’re going fracking crazy
Tearing holes in Mother Earth
Future generations will
Wonder what it was worth
CHORUS:
Extremists live a lie online
and plot their sins of hate
And when they pull the trigger back
the bullets cannot wait
America’s exceptional
At least that’s what they say
If you don’t like it, leave
Love it, you can stay
