I've Got the Mange
01:43
|
|||
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

Four Corners Sucks
01:38

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

On Summer Days
03:10
|
|||
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

Our Last Breath
02:40
|
|||
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

Doomed to Life on Earth
01:48
|

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

Give me a Break
00:59
|
|||
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

Fighting Words
01:35
|
|||
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

Tanks for Nothing
01:39
|
|||
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

Lives Lived on the Web
02:51
|
|||
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
