"a musical suggestion in troubled times: ride it out, man. life is always more important than their egos, and must persevere. this is your fight: love is life's essence, and darwin is breathing down your neck.

live to fight another day. ride, man, ride."

true grit

"what did you do grandpa?",
"in the Iraqi war?"
"i bravely attacked americans",
"and made damn sure there was more"

"this country needs a war",
so we waved the bold nose-grows,
while we followed our new emperor,
picking up his corporate clothes,

and while we wish he spoke like Tony,
we couldn't still fathom a phony,
we were too busy watching CNN,
and being in, that thick and thin,

of it and all the dollars,
and crazy European hollers,
"so, i bravely attacked americans"
who i saw burning american flags,

who dared to cross my self,
and who dared to block the street,
who dared to think for themself,
"and who i damn well better not meet"

so, i bitched and i complained
about the protesters who abstained
from the mindless process of rape
and all that beautiful titilation on tape

that puts "us" all in the lap of comfort,
that puts "our" mall near the track,
that let's "us" golf with bad backs,
and pays for "our" education,

so just use your imagination,
and try to understand, these things i speak of,
when i tell you my sweet grandchild,
"i bravely attacked america's dove"

>> why (mp3)



there's so many voices in america
and yet so few speaking
so many choices in america
and so few worth making

why?
why, do we have to fall apart?
while everyone is getting high
on shooting them guns and eating grandma's pie?

check it out...

America's still good
just not doin what we should
poking fights that we're picking
the corporations are tricking

all them and all of us
and making a big fuss
about making fools
out of everyone of us

i have to confess
their sending our very best
to save us from their mess
without the love of the world

rip our family apart
only profitable hearts
who see the cash stashed
in rushing it and hash

excluding any competition
like that mr bill gates
on an anti-trust mission
lies the actual debate

>>the smell (mp3)

old saddam is super crazy,
while the history's kinda hazy,
it's a good thing that you're lazy
cause it's 'spensive, dropping daisies

especially in recession
just before the mass depression
the cost of our aggression
without making a confession

is to slime up all the media
rejig encyclopedias
and speak about your class
as if we're holding christmas mass

so say what you care to dare
cause i'm sure we all will care
especially when what you tell
has that same recurring smell

"the smell of steaming bullshit!",
yep, that's what we're calling it
and, "we're not having none of it!",
that constant shit, that you submit

to get their means protected
to get you in the master plan
to get your ass elected
to win the war of partisan

to spin the whores s'more
and lock up all the doors
of hope's opportunity
from those in our community

who don't see it our way
and who don't seem to play
all the mind games of today
just like your lawyer would say...

"the smell of steaming bullshit",
is what the crowds all need
one more tangled web to knit
just so our pigs can feed

and the rest of the world bleeds
so we can wear our pretty beads
and tell them why they should submit
to that steaming pile of smelly bullshit
