I'm a mangy, filthy animal I'm an outlaw and a cannibal I'm crooked and I'm crazy I'm the monster that you made me I don't bark I bite Drag you into the fight I've got the mange tonight My skin's all cracked and bleeding I'm foaming and I'm seething I'm the walking barely breathing and behind the there are legions I don't look quite right cover you with mights now you've got the mange tonight I don't look quite right Drag you into the fight I've got the mange tonight

You were here first You are the worst How'd you learn to drive? Shouldn't even be alive You should know To go Four Corners Sucks I was here first My head's gonna burst It's my fucking turn Your prius is gonna burn Stop, then go Cambridge drivers are too slow Four Corners Sucks

Well it's been a long winter ya I looked up the sky fell down on me The streets they dyed the ice walls black The arteries of a heart attack But the freeze, I can't feel it now On summer days Things are finally gone my way I remember that big sun That hung up like the day ain't done with me Block to block and house to house A pack of cats and rats and mouse and me If you listen you can hear them now On summer days Things are finally gone my way The colleges have shut their doors The kids are gone, the streets are ours again There's nothing that I'd rather do than Drink and smoke and light the BBQ If you try you can smell it now On summer days Things are finally gone my way
4.
It can't get worse than this It's victory or death We can't take one step back So we'll fight to our last breath Your backs against the wall Behind me there's a fall The enemy's in the streets We can't accept defeat He who wants a wall on the southern border Fascist Number One of the New World Disorder Words are cheap but life is cheaper We may sow it but he's the reaper. Attack There ain't no turning back The jackboots are all strapped And they're marching across the map Fight Back Its time to slash and hack The fash are in a stack There ain't no turning back It can't get worse than this Its victory or death We can't take one step back So we'll fight to our last breath

Putin bought the White House You called Biden a commie And now they're all rooting for the Russian Army I'm trying to paint the map black But you're dying it purple Political spectrum has gone full circle Biden's not a communist I am Abolish private ownership over the land But if you really want to know it's the Republicans Who are putting the red back in the Red State Russia's army is in Ukraine and you think it's great You think freedom means authority and hate Your demi-god is their Manchurian Candidate You got your head up your own ass looking for the deep state Biden's not a communist I am Abolish private ownership over the land But if you really want to know it's the Republicans Who are putting the red back in the Red State You're putting the red back in the Red State Putting the red back in the Red State Your demi-god is their Manchurian Candidate And your putting the red back in the Red State

Elon Musk put his car into outer space I guess he thinks he's winning the human race He's got a job for you on Mars in his new emerald mine His megalomania will be the death of humankind Because we're doomed, doomed, doomed To life on Earth Bezos wants a elevator to the moon Thinks we'll all be mining there for him someday soon Beltalowda don't want to mine on no moon Send Musk and Bezos up in one big mushroom plume Because we're doomed, doomed, doomed To life on Earth Our lungs are for the oxygen All life's from the sea A million molecules make up our biology Billionaires destroy the planet Tell us not to fear And send us off to live our lives Without the atmosphere Because we're doomed, doomed, doomed To life on Earth

All I want to do is rock 'n' roll Working these garden's gonna burn out my sole Oh baby, call me Shake and Bake I've given all that I can take, Won't you give me a break I'm painting your halls, I'm cleaning your floors All I ever hear is give me more, more, more Drive me crazy, I'm everything but fake Enough of this give and take Won't you give me a break I'm on my last leg, I'm a ball of stress It's all coming out as one big, loud mess Oh honey, watch me shake and bake Enough of this give and take, won't you give me a break I'm burning here on this stake, won't you give me a break I've caught fire here for goodness sake, won't you give me a break
8.
When you say freedom, you sound absurd The only freedom you care about is yours You legislate and humiliate to dominate us all The people coming up, and you're gonna fall You kick and scream, about wearing a mask I won't stand in your way from climbing in your casket Can't we just be free from the misery you cause With your god and with your laws You're fighting for control of the whole world We're fighting for these fighting words You're crawling into the classrooms Your coming for our books You'd rather burn them than care to take a look Your ignorance is disingenuous, and a genocidal mask You represent our oppressors past The way you say freedom is bad for your health We're coming up to knock our words out of your mouth You just want power to tell us what to do We'll all be free when we're rid of you You're fighting for control of the whole world We're fighting for these fighting words

You chose Karl over Mikhail Tankie politics will always fail The only thing that's withered away is your belief in the goal And your moral standing in the eyes of the world Tanks for Prague and Latakia Tanks for East Berlin and Afghanistan The celebrate Transnistria and Nogorno Karabakh The mass murder of Kobzars, Jews and Cossacks to the Gulags You chose Karl We went with Mikhail You rejoice at the carving of the Caucasus From Ossetia to Azerbaijan The stealing of Crimea and Karelia The 30s starving of Ukraine and Kazakstan Tanks for Tibet, tanks for Tiananmen And all apologies for Tel Aviv and Tehran You bring nothing but death and war Shoving socialism down our throats from a T-34 You chose Karl We went with Mikhail Tanks for Nothing Nothing will ever prove to you that you're wrong If not a trail of mass graves a hundred years long
10.
You view the world through a screen This isn't reality You wipe history clean Only see what you want to see Is this some miscreant's dream Virtual humanity With binary code as your creed Burnt out, red-eyed zombies When you finally wake up and go outside Will the world already be dead? Like grapes rotting on the vine These lives lived on the web We live in these echo chambers Only hear what we want to say A society of distant strangers Scrolling our lives away You can stay safe behind your screen Keep reality at bay Or open your eyes to this world of blue and green And live for a brighter day When you finally wake up and go outside Will the world already be dead? Like grapes rotting on the vine These lives lived on the web The arachnids of capital caught us in their threads Sucked out what's inside our heads Divided we fell, isolated we bled Atomized, they work us til we're dead When you finally wake up and go outside Will the world already be dead? Like grapes rotting on the vine These lives lived on the web

Disappointed 02:48
Hey there killa, what did you prove With all the right cloths and your bad attitude? I guess it was just in fashion, it was just a fad to you Well I'm so disappointed in you I'm so disappointed in you (You let me down, you know you do) I can't believe anything you say or anything you do What's the point in talking, when nothing you say is true? Well I'm so disappointed in you Hey there kiddo, what do you know When the going got tough you decided it was time to go You seemed so full of fire, I guess it was all for show Go on get out of here if you're gonna go I'm so disappointed in you (You piss me off, you know you do) I can't believe anything you say or anything you do What's the point in talking, when nothing you say is true? Well I'm so disappointed in you You've all left me here to fight this fight all alone I guess you just couldn't step out of your comfort zone Now your back at home, and I'm seeing it through Well I'm so disappointed in you I'm so disappointed in you (I'm a bigger person now I love you too) I can't believe anything you say or anything you do What's the point in talking, when nothing you say is true? Well I'm so disappointed in you
