99 Percent
02:00
|
|||
Wall Street greed made us bleed
Red and Blue we all got screwed
By mega banks too big to fail
By Wall Street cats too fat for jail
Left and Right we stand and fight
For the Tribe of the Light
We are the 99
One percent stole the pie
Left a little piece for the 99
That’s not right, that’s not fair
All we want is our fair share
All we want is for you to care
Do you hear me mister billionaire?
Mega banks no no no!
Mega banks got to go!
Wall Street bullies too big too fail
But not too big to beg for bail
Bully banks, pay for votes
Bully banks, cut the throat
of the 99
Tribe of the Light
Do you hear our cry?
Do you hear our cry?
Do you hear our cry?

American Dream RIP
03:06
|

This one’s for the funeral of the late American Dream
Cause of death determined to be the Wall Street Machine
This one’s for the family trying to make ends meet
And the old man in the shadow living on the street
This one’s for the weary and the workers on the line
Ain't no hero coming gotta help yourself this time
American Dream in your grave
On our knees we will be brave
Rest In Peace, American Dream
This one’s for the soldier fighting a foreign war
And the patriot shopping at the local big box store
This one’s for the graduate buried in student debt
Living with the folks looking for jobs they can’t get
This one’s for the sinner, the saint, and all the rest
Ain't no savior coming gonna have to do our best
American Dream in your grave
On our knees we will be brave
Rest In Peace, American Dream
This one’s for the 1 percent who gladly spare a dime
And know their bread is buttered by the good old 99
This one’s for the rebel blinded by the rain
Fighting to be heard and see the dragon slain
This one’s for the wounded, the wicked, and the wise
Ain't no help a coming, it’s time for us to rise
American Dream in your grave
On our knees we will be brave
Rest In Peace, American Dream
Rest In Peace, American Dream

Citizens unite
It's time to resist
It's time to fight
The people are pissed
Citizens unite
Your country is falling
It's time to fight
The Resistance is calling
Fight for democracy
Fight for truth
Fight for mom, apple pie, and Babe Ruth
Shout from your window
Shout from your door
We're mad as hell
We won't take it anymore!
We're mad as hell
We won't take it anymore!
Turn off your TV
Get up off your chair
Put on your pants
Come fight if you dare
Putin plundered the country you love
The America you call the United States Of
He stuck his finger in the American Pie
He put his whole hand up America's thigh
Shout from your window
Shout from your door
We're mad as hell
We won't take it anymore!
We're mad as hell
We won't take it anymore!
Take it anymore
Citizens unite
It's time to resist
It's time to fight
The people are pissed
Citizens unite
Your country is falling
It's time to fight
The Resistance is calling
Shout from your window
Shout from your door
We're mad as hell
We won't take it anymore!
We're mad as hell
We won't take it anymore!
We're mad as hell
We won't take it anymore!
Take it anymore

Founders' Children 2024
03:58
|

When free speech is measured in dollars
Only the richest are heard
Democracy gets smaller and smaller
The American Dream is deferred
The markets are rigged for the wealthy
But they're not going to silence us here
Come bring us your hearts and your spirits
It's time for a new frontier
We are the founders' children
We're fighting off corporate greed
We're only as strong as our weakest
We'll fight until everyone's free
The hours I trade for a paycheck
Are the least of what matters to me
I do what I do as a human
And the best of it I do for free
I learn, I heal, and I invent
I educate, write, and make new
Nobody pays me to do this
We everyday people just do
We are the founders' children
We won't be stopped by your walls
Equality means you're accountable
You can't rise by making us fall
Our country is made up of people
All the value we add to our lives
The sharing, the caring, the loving
That make our communities thrive
Our energy expended without pay
Investments that nobody counts
When they talk about job creators
And the annual GNP amount
We are the founders' children
We're fighting for citizens' rights
You're not going to squander our future
We won't let you out of our sight
If the rich and powerful just vanished
We'd still do the valuable stuff
We all have a gift to contribute
We know when enough is enough
We've taken our place in the meantime
Between private and public terrain
Until we are heard we'll be here
Again and again and again
We are the founders' children
We're fighting off corporate greed
We're only as strong as our weakest
We'll fight until everyone's free

Mad As Hell Majority

We're sick of the you working for the NRA
Sick of people getting shot every day
We're sick of you saying we just gotta pray
Sick of you pretending there is no other way
We're sick of your lies, sick of your crap
Sick of your lips going flap flap flap
We're sick of your sleaze, sick of your tricks
Sick of your disgusting politics
Shout to the mountains
Shout to the sky
Shout to the deep blue sea
We're mad as hell
We won't take it anymore!
We're the Mad as Hell Majority!
We're sick of your greed, sick of your lust
Sick of your treason, your Russian trust
We're sick of Putin picking our president
Sick of wondering where our democracy went
We're sick of your trickle down Ponzi scheme
Sick of you stealing our American Dream
We're sick of the way our money is spent
Sick of you working for the one percent
Shout to the mountains
Shout to the sky
Shout to the deep blue sea
We're mad as hell
We won't take it anymore!
We're the Mad as Hell Majority!
Shout to the mountains
Shout to the sky
Shout to the deep blue sea
We're mad as hell
We won't take it anymore!
We're the Mad as Hell Majority!

Meet You in the Middle
02:14
|

I'll meet you in the middle
In between the two extremes
We'll solve that little riddle
And share our common dream
You go west and I'll head east
We'll meet in Kansas City
We'll set aside our big beliefs
And share a pint of pity
I'll meet you half way
Between the Left and the Right
We'll roam these fifty states
Until one day we unite
I'll meet you in the center
Of the circle jerking clowns
Between the pain and pleasure
Going round and round and round
We'll take the middle path
Holding hands along the way
We'll forget which one's white or black
Brown, yellow, pink, or gray
I'll meet you in the middle
In between the two extremes
We'll solve that little riddle
And share our common dream
I'll meet you in the center
Of the circle jerking clowns
Between the pain and pleasure
Going round and round and round
I'll meet you in the middle
In between the two extremes
We'll solve that little riddle
And share our common dream
I'll meet you in the middle

The Patriot Citizens for Religious Freedom Act
Down is up, right is left, right is wrong
And your brain is hacked
When they want to make a law to restrict your liberty
They'll name it just the opposite
Something more warm and fuzzy
They think your liberty needs to be restrained
So that you can be truly free
Doublethink starts working on your brain
Let's call that Freedomfugacy
When they want to make a law to invade your privacy
They'll name it quite the opposite
Something oh so yummy
They think your secrets needs to be surveilled
To keep your privacy unveiled
Doublethink is alive and well
Let's call that Patriocity
Dear Mr. Orwell may we call you George?
It took a little longer but it's 1984
When they want to make a law to impose their own belief
They'll call it something different
Just like any common thief
Do you vote for wolves disguised in sheep's clothing
Because you think they eat the same thing you're loathing?
That's Doublethink you see
They call that Religiosity
When they want to pretend that they speak for you and me
They will do that oh so surreptitiously
Do you think they have your happiness in mind?
Do you really think your interests are aligned?
That's when Doublethink really shines
They call that Bourgeoisocity
Dear Mr. Orwell, may we call you George?
It took a little longer but it's 1984
The Patriot Citizens for Religious Freedom Act
Up is down, left is right, right is wrong
And the egg is cracked
The Patriot Citizens for Religious Freedom Act
Down is up, right is wrong, right is wrong
Right and wrong, wrong is right
And your brain is hacked
Down is up, right is left, wrong is right
And your brain is hacked

Peoples Super PAC

Heads they win tails we lose
It's that old revolving door
Wall Street wearing government shoes
Politicians barefoot on the floor
Heads they win tails we lose
Their greed has no shame
Fat cats making all the rules
We're kicking ass and taking names
Heads they win tails we lose
It's a good time to be alive
Unless the great American Dream
Is something for which you strive
Heads they win tails we lose
But we still have a chance
If we fight back against their ruse
And wake up from our trance
We're sick and tired of getting screwed
The people are fighting back
We're the USA we're Red and Blue
We're the Peoples' Super PAC
We're the mad as hell majority
We're taking our country back
We're fighting for our Democracy
We're the Peoples' Super PAC
We're sick and tired of getting screwed
The people are fighting back
We're the USA we're Red and Blue
We're the Peoples' Super PAC
Peoples' Super PAC

Red States Blue

Power to the people
Getting off that crazy train
Power to the people
Taking shelter from the rain
Getting ready for the party
Putting on our dancing shoes
Taking off our MAGA hats and
Turning red states blue
Russia attacked the USA
Republicans did nothing
Putin put his puppet in place
Republicans made him king
Power to the people
Getting off that crazy train
Power to the people
Taking shelter from the rain
Watching the tide arising
All the boats arising too
The sun and moon are pulling
Pulling red states blue
Russia attacked our democracy
Republicans did nothing
Putin poisoned our humanity
Republicans kept on sucking
Power to the people
Power to me and you
Power to the people
Turning red states blue
Red states blue
Red states blue

Dear Americans of 2024
This is a letter from 2224
For you it's the future
But for us it is now
And we just want to tell you
His stink is still around
The Stink of Donald Trump, the stench of sulfur
Of terrible evil, enemy of the people
His stink will never fade no matter how often we try
To rewrite history, blur faces, or tell big fat lies
The Stink of Donald Trump
America will never forget
Americans will never forgive
We can never wash off the stink of him
That miserable cartoon of a man
Quoting Hitler and spewing hate
He failed at everything he ever planned
He failed to become a good man
Every tyrant needs his cowards
We teach our kids to be brave
And warn them about Republicans
How they ruined the USA
We teach our kids about his stink
They can smell in the morning
Brushin' their teeth over the sink
We hold our noses, and proceed
We live our lives with his stink
His stink so disgusting
Dear Americans of 2024
This is a letter from 2224
For you it's the future
But for us it is now
And we just want to tell you
His stink is still around
The Stink of Donald Trump

Suicide Eagle
01:46

I don't know where she's going
I don't know her real name
Her wings are quickly slowing
She got a belly full of pain
Yesterday she flew so strong
Before her murder by the people
Democracy never lasts too long
Before the suicide of an eagle
Not long ago we had a choice
Between who we liked the best
The one who gave us a voice
The one who most impressed
Now we have to choose
The one who stinks the least
Against the one we want to lose
Against the beauty or the beast
They say democracy never lasts too long
Before it's murdered by the people
I started to write a love song
Then I saw the suicide of an eagle
I don't know where she's going
I don't know her real name
Her wings are quickly slowing
She got a belly full of pain

You Do You

You like red I like blue
I do me and you do you
It's OK to disagree
You do you and I do me
It don't matter what we think
It don't matter what we sing
It don't matter what we believe
It's only sound and fury
You like red I like blue
I do me and you do you
It's OK to disagree
You do you and I do me
We swim the seas on Saturdy
We sail the coast of Paraguay
We share a glass of pink Chablis
You do you and I do me
Someday soon we'll say goodbye
Our boat rising in the midnight sky
The moon shining in our starry eyes
We'll wonder what it all signifies
You love me and I love you
That's all there is when we're all through
I love you and you love me
You do you and I do me
You do you and I do me
You do you and I do me
