The One Who Dares

The moon makes me cry tonight
How do I even notice it’s there?
This room makes me feel uptight
Does anyone know how to care?
About one another?
You might be the only one who dares
We can all do better
Let’s help each other get there
The sunrise makes me high today
How can I ignore the heat?
The open sky shows a way
Can anyone help a sister eat?
Let’s help one another
You might be the only one who dares
We can all do better
Let’s help each other get there

Soul Hole

I thought I saw you in the burning sun
But it was the house and the sky was gone
I thought I heard you in the evening air
But it was the roar of what wasn’t there
There’s a hole in the soul of America
Where the slaughtered go,
where the forgotten lie
Where the dreamers sleep and I ask why?
I thought I saw you by the highway sign
But you were passing bad checks in the grocery line
Down on the ground grasping for air
With a knee on your neck and now you’re not there
There’s a hole in the soul of America
Where the slaughtered go,
where the forgotten lie
Where the dreamers sleep and I ask why?
I thought I saw your parents at the border wall
Where they ripped you away and that’s not all
Now you’re alone in a nice room they say
Looks like a cage to me where they put you away
There’s a hole in the soul of America
Where the slaughtered go,
where the forgotten lie
Where the dreamers sleep and I ask why?
I thought I saw you on TV at the city hall
You were yelling for rights and standing tall
Now you’re flat on your back with a tube down your throat
I hope you get well, this ain’t no joke!
There’s a hole in the soul of America
Where the slaughtered go,
where the forgotten lie
Where the dreamers sleep and I ask why?

Dead bone buildings
On a Sunday drive
Lone souls hiding
Trying to stay alive
Mystery Killer
On an empty street
Afternoon thriller
From an empty seat
Driving alone down the street
Dead bone buildings
Doo doo doo do... tick tick tick
Got to wear mask

Fascist Head
03:11

When the alarm goes off
and I get out of bed
All I hear is the fascist head
When I get up
My soul feels dead
‘cause all I hear is the fascist head
But now it’s bye bye fascist head
Up and out of the bunker boy
It’s time to go
Bye bye fascist head
You have to go now
You’re out the door
The people have spoke
We don’t want you know more!
I turn the tv on
But keep the sound down
‘cause all that’s on is the fascist head!
But now it’s bye bye fascist head
Up and out of the bunker boy
It’s time to go
Bye bye fascist head
When the alarm goes off
and I get out of bed
All I hear is the fascist head
When I get up
My soul feels dead
‘cause all I hear is the fascist head
But now it’s bye bye fascist head
Up and out of the bunker boy
It’s time to go
Bye bye fascist head

Tyranny, Tyranny

Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny under the sun
Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny what have we done?
Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny people on the run
Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny rubber bullets and guns
People, people, that’s who we are
You call us radical, we carry the scars
People, people, mothers in arms
You call us far left, our tears spread far
Eternal vigilance
The price of liberty
That’s why we march
That’s why we shout
We will be heard
That’s why we plug it in
Either Black Lives Matter
Or you better look again
Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny under the sun
Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny what have we done?
Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny people on the run
Tyranny, tyranny, tyranny rubber bullets and guns

Zombification of a nation going no where
Zombification of a nation's taking us down
Cold to the touch
No blood in the veins
Going nowhere
Just eating brains
Zombification of a nation going no where
Zombification of a nation taking us down
Gonna bag me a witch
Maybe the Litch
Orange man's a son of a bitch
Zombie rock
Zombie roll
Throw me in a deep dark hole
Zombie rock
Zombie roll
You better vote or lose your soul
Zombification of a nation's taking us down
Zombification of a nation going no where
Zombification of a nation's taking us down
Zombification of a nation going no where
Cold to the touch
No blood in the veins
Going nowhere
Just eating brains
Zombification of a nation going nowhere
Zombification of a nation going nowhere
Zombie rock
Zombie roll
Throw me in a deep dark hole
Zombie rock
Zombie roll
You better vote or lose your soul
Zombification of a nation going no where
Zombification of a nation taking us down
Zombification of a nation going no where
Zombification of a nation taking us down
Cold to the touch
No blood in the veins
Going nowhere
Just eating brains

You already had yesterday whatever that was
You already had yesterday whatever that was
Crows... like disturbed black memories
like disturbed black memories
Circle about, circle about
They rise and fall
But never come to rest
Your glacial ice
From another life
Another time
If no consequence?
If no consequence?
Then whose skull?
Then whose skull?
You already had yesterday whatever that was
You already had yesterday whatever that was
Now... circles around you circles around you
Trying to take your hand,
trying to take your hand
You rise and fall
And you will come to rest
Your glacial ice
From another life
Another time
Is trying to pull you down,
get you in the ground
Stick around we need you now,
stick around we need you now
Crows...
Your glacial ice
From another life
Another time
Your glacial ice
From another life
Another time

The Monolith Song

You’re driving me out of my mind...girl
You’re driving me out of my mind...yeah
Could it be the last time?
The last time we talked... for real?
I couldn’t even look in your eyes
But a long time ago we made the deal
and when the dream dies...
We rebuild with steel
Yeah, like cold hard steel
We find a way to stand still
Like a monolith, like a monolith, like a monolith
It’s driving me out of my mind...girl
It’s driving me out of my mind...yeah
They took you away and left me behind
All I could do was pace and pace the flooer
I had to face this wall of mine,
And tonight was the night I walked through that doo
r
and when the wall crumbles down...
We rebuild with steel
Yeah, like cold hard steel
We find a way to stand still
Like a monolith, like a monolith, like a monolith
From the great beyond, from outer space
A better place, a gift for you...
a monolith...
I was never who you thought I was
It’s another planet, another world
Where I come from
I left here long ago
Now I live among the stars
In a galaxy far away
until I reappear....
Like a monolith...
like a monolith
like a
mon. - o - lith

A 2020 Sort Of Day

He was building bombs
Behind a fence
In an RV...
Just a half a mile away
It was a 2020 sort of day
When your visions 2020
You better look away
Things deteriorate fast
You better not stay
If it’s a 2020 sort of day
If you go outside
You better wear a mask
Stacey was here just two days ago
Then the ambulance came and took her away
It’s a 2020 sort of day
When your visions 2020
You better look away
Things deteriorate fast
You better not stay
If it’s a 2020 sort of day
