Pledge of Allegiance

-The Pledge of Allegiance-
I'll never pledge allegiance
To profit over people
Gold dollar signs at the top
Of the steeples
And pistols in the pockets
Of the boys and girls
Ancient public schools and brand new jails
And the voice that's on the radio
Says lock up all the doors
Put the bullets in your rifle
Get ready for war
But I won't let them catch you
in the middle of the night
No no I promise
I promise I promise I promise
I'll never swear an oath
To those who attack while unprovoked
And deliver body bags full of children
To their mothers
Turn a blind eye to criminals in neck ties
With overflowing wallets full of blood stained paper

-Asphalt Soul-
And it's so isolating
Working just to keep yourself alive
Callused hands, skin and bone
Finally home your finally home
Much more infuriating
Never learn to take your own advice
Asphalt soul and heart of stone
You're finally home, finally home
But it don't feel like home no
Black metal bars on Windows
Die cast shadows in the sunrise
And we're all slowly aging
Pretending it's humiliating
Stalling out while years fly by
Exhaustion and anger hand in
Hand they cross the street with me tonight
With worn out shoes, caffeine blues
Nicotine and stale old booze
In bars and filthy basements
Warehouses, parking lots and rented rooms
All loose screws, that got no rules
The lion hearts, the cold the bruised
With the lights turned down low
Don't need no fucking Windows
The night shatters from the inside
Tight fists move fast and breathe slow
Forget about tomorrow
Reborn free and undefined

Jesus Saves

-Jesus Saves-
They hide behind a flag
To justify every attack
And every step along the way
They're stripping down our liberties
Cause we’re all being deceived
and fed re-written history
where all of our atrocities
are replaced by tales of bravery
Fat lazy and full of pride
Armed to the teeth and terrified
American Citizens losing their minds
With a gun in your hand and stars in your eyes
And they say that Jesus saves
Whats he doin for the kids in the graves
And all those murdered in the name
Of freedom and equality
She pointed at the clouds up in the sky
and the angels with no faces
and said one day the acid rain will wash away the evidence
of everything we’ve done
and the monsters we become
So said with a mess like this
we’ll need a food need a flood need a goddamn flood
Fat lazy and full of pride
Armed to the teeth and terrified
American Citizens losing their minds
With a gun in your hand and stars in your eyes
And they say that Jesus saves
Whats he doin for the kids in the graves
And all those murdered in the name
Of freedom and equality

Gun Lust and Greed
02:38
|

-Gun Lust and Greed-
Born and raised highly trained to be warlike
Turning children into arms for the state
Give us your name we'll give you a number
A vest on your chest and a gun on your waist
We barely ask for a rhyme or reason
Any opposition is an act of treason
Flying a flag and wearing a ribbon
Stockpiling guns and ammunition
And just like that we’re
Sending soldiers off to die
Over fucking ideologies
While we hold our heads up high
Gun lust and greed
A fucked up God and country
Killing in the name
of democracy
We kill each other in astonishing numbers
Bombs in the air and boots on the pavement
They sell us lies in patriotic disguises
A scared sheep is a willing slave
Offshore accounts and shell corporations
Profit profit profit free from taxation
Government subsidies hyper inflation
Im looking for work while you go on vacation
You're taking kick backs while you kick back
Watching your war unfold from your laptop
A hundred million fists raised high in air
We're the war torn poor with the thousand yard stare
And just like that wer’e
Sending soldiers off to die
Over fucking ideologies
While we hold our heads up high
Gun lust and greed
A fucked up God and country
Killing in the name
of democracy

White Noise

-White Noise-
And you talk till I can't hear nothing else
Rambling and ranting about Christians and democracy
The color of color skin, the burden of sin
And the relevance of everything
Everything irrelevant
Same fucking story behind every door
Around every table and on every station
Keeping everybody busy on the bullshit
Big tits, base hits, outfits
And we can’t turn the dial anymore
We give up control
We can't turn the dial anymore
Every stupid person has a stupid opinion
Sitting on the panel and expecting you to listen
It's a bait and switch with inflammatory clips
And what you lack in integrity you make up in tips
And we can’t turn the dial anymore
We give up control
We can't turn the dial anymore
Now the news man told me
Everyone's an enemy
And all my friends agree
And my friends are
The smartest people I know
Cause my friends think just like me
