Wanna Go Back

I don’t know where to go but I’m making my escape
The sun is shining but I can’t make out any shapes
The colors are running, it’s much too fast to see
I can feel the hands grabbing but no one’s catching me
I’m running back because I think I’ve gone too far
It’s not a place to reach even in the fastest car
I got to travel back, find something that was lost
Gonna feel just like it was no matter what the cost
I wanna go back I wanna go back home
I wanna go back back where I belong
It’s time to push ahead but I left it all behind
I got to open my eyes for whatever I might find
But I remember what it was, I saw it in my sleep
And there’s still work to do and promises to keep

Good Friends

I should be feeling something more than I am today
It’s like I’m just an actor in someone else’s play
Let’s open our eyes and stop ourselves right away
I think that you just might be feeling the exact same way
You don’t have to say that you love me
Because I know that you don’t even mean it
Let’s just be good friends
We’re at a turning point and it’s time to decide
If we’re gonna take it any further or just turn the tides
It’s obvious to me that we’ll never be satisfied
But let no one say we didn’t give it the old college try
You don’t have to say that you love me
Because I know that you don’t even mean it
Let’s just be good friends
It’s not a mark upon ourselves, nothing to answer for
There’s no need to be embarrassed, no one’s keeping score
Neither one conceded victory, for this is not a war
And we should help each other set sail for fairer shores
Let’s preserve our dignity lest we become a tortured rose
Coz we both know in this world there’s way too many of those

I woke up this morning and I’m lying all alone
There’s something very wrong with me and I can feel it in my bones
I refuse to play this game of life with the cards I’ve been dealt
I know I’ll never love myself unless I am somebody else
There’s no need to check your prescription exaggerate a little fiction
Embrace your favorite affliction and dance your way out of your constriction
There’s nobody that can stop me baby - I’m an automatic fox
You’re gonna see what only I’ve been able to see
Only the truth inside will set me free - I’m an automatic fox
You’re gonna see what I’ve been hiding deep inside of me
2-3-4-5-6-7-8 I’m an automatic fox
The tail is growing longer from right between my legs
I feel the burning hunger it’s no use to try and beg
Now the fur is turning colors I just can’t stop it now
Why go against your nature? Don’t wanna stop it anyhow
There’s no need to check your prescription exaggerate a little fiction
Embrace your favorite affliction and dance your way out of your constriction
There’s nobody that can stop me baby - I’m an automatic fox
You’re gonna see what only I’ve been able to see
Only the truth inside will set me free - I’m an automatic fox
You’re gonna see what I’ve been hiding deep inside of me
2-3-4-5-6-7-8 I’m an automatic fox
OwO OwO OwO What’s this?

Holding Hands
06:50
|

I’m sorry, was there something that I missed?
Somebody is yelling and they’re really pissed
All I did is sneak a little kiss
And now I feel a barrage of fists
Well it feels like it’s your birthright
And it’s only natural to put up a fight
I’m sick of hiding myself in plain sight
We’re past the point of being polite
I never stuck my head between your sheets
I’ve no designs to appropriate your seat
I never once threatened your fatherland
Why should I change to meet your demands?
I never stole your dinner from your plate
I never wished to be the object of your hate
No man can invalidate another man
I don’t understand (I’m taking a stand) (Fuck your demands)
I was only holding hands
Feels like we’ve been singing the same song
Never thought we’d be singing it for so long
Better check your privilege cos it’s not wrong
To want something you’ve enjoyed all along
You will never change my pedigree
With your ruthless religious bigotry
Yes we can just agree to disagree
Just as long as you have the same rights as me

The Russians Are Coming
04:31

They’re in your TV They’re on your phone
They’ll have your blind faith And you ain’t alone
They’re in your family What’s near and dear
They know your rage And what you fear
They come for your burgers and your apple pie
They come for your votes while you stand by
They come for your daughter (Chuck) and they come for your sons
They’ll have your loyalty before they’re done
You don’t have to run You don’t have to fight
You just have to dance And rock all night
Get you some vodka Now drink it up
If you ain’t had enough Get a bigger cup
They want your babies They want your car
They’ve got your money They gave it to the Tsar
They want your Jesus They want your name
They run your politics Like it’s a game
They fire your emotions and your baser needs
Let out your inner animal and see where it leads
Just let out your rage and let your flag fly proud
Have faith in all your leaders and let’s all get plowed
You don’t have to run You don’t have to fight
You just have to dance And rock all night
Get you some vodka Now drink it up
You ain’t had enough Bottoms up!
Well they played you like a fiddle because they know your tone
Your voice of doubt is loudest when you’re all alone
They divide you by numbers while you fight your fellow man
While you’re running round in circles without a plan
They fire your emotions and your baser needs
Let out your inner animal and see where it leads
Just let out your rage and let your flag fly proud
Have faith in all your leaders and let’s all get plowed
You don’t have to run You don’t have to fight
You just have to dance And rock all night
Get you some vodka Now drink it up
You ain’t had enough Here we go again!

We all feel it in our bones and far too long we’ve known
We’ll have to eat the terrible seeds we’ve sown
We pray that our hero appears and they somehow persevere
And god will sort it all out so we don’t have to fear
But as forests burn for beef to feed insatiable teeth
And the rain washes away to the sand underneath
As our prayers go unheard entwined our fates interred
Smoke fills your lungs and you breathe your last word
Maybe god will save your soul?
Well the war demons grow near and the diplomats hide in fear
As the masses drown in sorrows the machine sheds no tears
And we pray the men will do right and will suddenly see the light
And god will bless our forces and we’ll win the fight
As the rockets devour the sky the children shriek and cry
No one can hide from the fire no matter how they try
As our prayers go unheard entwined our fates interred
The sword splits your throat and you breathe your last word
Maybe god will save your soul?
Well the stores record their last sale and the seeds wither and fail
Our bold schemes and designs come to no avail
And we pray that the flowers will bloom but the end of the season looms
And god will bless our crops and spare us from doom
But as fungus devours our fields and kills the smallest of yields
And your hunger shows you just how far you can kneel
As our prayers go unheard entwined our fates interred
Starvation steals your body and you breathe your last word
Maybe god will save your soul?
Well the lands are barren and used destroyed and fatally bruised
Our complete and total failure cannot be excused
And we pray that the fruits return for the lesson we finally learned
Please give us another chance before the last of it burns
But as the last few creatures die without even knowing why
The last man’s lust for greed could not be satisfied
As our prayers go unheard entwined our fates interred
As people eat your flesh and you breathe your last word
Maybe god will save your soul?
And as we all sit back and observe and no one can get up the nerve
We will all succumb to exactly the fate we deserve
We must all be swift and bold and stop our quest for gold
Because beyond our delicate Earth there is nothing but cold
Only we can save our souls.

You look at it, you taste it
You don't like it, you can't erase it
You ignore it, it doesn't stop it
You can burn it all, but you can't take it with you
You try it hide it but it doesn't go away
The things you do and the things you say
You can move yourself way up on the hill
You'll never get high enough to get your fill
Your benevolence is trickling down
I can see it in the fires burning 'round town
You say this is all for prosperity's sake
I don't know how much more of this I can take
You'll always find tools to scream
To wave the signs and cheer your team
They think they'll all be rich one day
But the rabbit always keeps one step away
You need us more than we need you
You believe all the that lies you say are true
The world will just keep spinning apace
Without your perfect shining face
You look at it, you taste it
You don't like it, you can't erase it
You ignore it, it doesn't stop it
You can burn it all, but you can't take it with you
You're looking for yourself
But you won't find anything
No you won't find anything
You won't find anything
You. will. never. ever. make. us. go. away.

All Bets Are Off

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but something’s very wrong
I hardly hear the birds singing anymore
I’m waiting for the forest to give another breath
But we might have already heard the last one yet
After decades of ruthless continuous abuse
All our best computer models disgracefully fail
No one can predict the weather anymore
And we haven’t the faintest clue of what’s in store
We don’t have the means to see what we’ve done
We’ll never have the knowledge to fully comprehend
I fear it’s far worse than we can predict
And everything might be far beyond what we can fix
It’s always been our greatest disgrace
Our most precious lands and brilliant life
Guarded by those least willing to protect
Poached and pillaged until nothing is left
No it wouldn’t bother me because it’s what we deserve
If we alone perished by our own hands
But we’ll take everything on Earth with us as we all fall
After us there will be nothing left at all
I want to do something but I’m swaddled by fear
As I hope beyond hope that it won’t affect me here
We cannot replace what we have lost
But if we don’t do everything no matter the cost…
All bets are off
