Ultimatum

3-7-77

Three Seven Seventy Seven
We’re gonna play hunt the felon
Three Seven Seventy Seven
We’re gonna play hunt the felon

Join the wolves or be the meat
Tonight we will wet the street
Follow us, you’re in for a treat
This rough justice can’t be beat 

Heed the message, get out of town
Run, don’t walk. Keep your head down 
It’s time to go, it’s the only path
Be gone or face our wrath

We’re judge & jury, the one stop shop
Ends with a long rope and a short drop
Times change, our dark past remains
Your light goes out, our memory retains

Company Town

Spend it all in the company town
The only way out is facedown

Each week worked, our debt grows
The only relief,  beer & hoes
Sweat & blood for worthless scrip
Worked like slaves with a hidden whip
Slowly killing ourselves just to exist
Our bodies broken we won’t be missed

No retirement for the likes of us
Bare wooden cross and little fuss 
In the company we must trust 
As our lungs fill with dust
We learn that life can be cruel 
When you're worth less than a mule

Too Good For You

Prison is too good for you
We are gonna see it through
Prison is too good for you
We are gonna see it through

Revenge for what? Your own mistakes? 
You got what we all got, we make our own breaks.
Taking lives because yours seems unfair
Is more pathetic than I can bare

A statistic, one more loser, taking futures
Nobody admires the loathsome shooters 
You won’t be famous, we will see to that
History will see you as a worthless gnat

Every day taken will diminish your whole 
Be a man, get help, don’t lose control
Nobody's future is set in stone
The best revenge is to show how you’ve grown 

Smile

If you want to see it more
Give me a reason, I Implore

I am here because I have to be
You think we are friends, I disagree. 
Your money buys service, not respect
When we shake hands I disinfect 

My skin crawls when you're close
Your cash is tainted, you are gross 
My face with you, I must compose 
Your lecherous advances I oppose 

Your touch makes me shudder
I would rather lick a dumpster 
Get your mind out of the gutter
You will never be my lover 

Manipulation

How did we get here? Brother fighting son.
You’re not stupid, what have you become,

55 miles, not the other side of the map,
False information became the biggest trap. 
Memes & trolls more powerful than your tanks, 
Our Leaders obey or lose the loans from your banks,

The firehose of falsehood never shuts off, 
We greedily consume it, like pigs at the trough. 
Check your sources, don’t become their tool,
It’s not that hard, you’re nobody's fool.   
The IQ of a mob drops like a stone
Control the dogs to take the bone

We can beat this, but only if we try. 
Before you post, ask yourself why.
We can beat this, but only if we try. 
Reject the lies, refuse to comply.

The Disappeared 

Where are the disappeared? 
All belongings commandeered
Where are the disappeared? 
Taken by the ones they feared.

Guilty of being the wrong race
You’re disappeared without a trace
Organs harvested, sold for profit
The cash in the governments pocket 

The satellites show city’s gone
The official maps are redrawn
Family’s torn apart, murdered
Millions of human lives squandered  

Forced to watch while their children are slaughtered
Government sanctioned rape & torture

Let’s hear it

Let’s hear it for the good friends
On them you can always depend

Countless years of ups and downs
The ruined city’s and trash towns
Through it all you stuck with me
And had the strength to disagree
We tried, we failed, we won, we lost
You had my back, no fingers crossed

No matter what was in our way
You helped me more than I can convey 
Laughter on the darkest days
Always loyal, never betray
By my side, my confidant 
Steadfast and nonchalant 

Timeout

You’re just showing off, time for a nap
Lights out, slump down, that’s a wrap
Sleep it off, lemme finish my drink
Crawl on home, remove your stink

Timeout loser, nap-time beckons
This is going to be one of life’s hard lessons
Timeout loser, nap-time beckons
This is going to be one of life’s hard lessons

You overstepped the mark yet again
You won’t hear them count to ten
Wake up groggy, full of shame
Feeling like you got hit by a train

Watch your mouth, who are you among?
Should have checked before you swung
We had no issues til you emptied your lung
Nobody taught you to hold your tongue. 
Until, now.

We Stand

Partisan bias, openly displayed
The people utterly betrayed
Forty nine years of progress,  gone in a flash
Fifty point four percent, rights in the trash

Bring justice back to us all
Don’t let this great nation fall
Once a beacon of liberty
Sliding into dark history

Supreme Apathy, Justice no more 
Opinions bought, judgments paid for
Free gifts given to the holiday whore 
Sworn to uphold the billionaires law 

 
We stand with you all
Your body your call
We stand with you all
Your body your call

Hostage

Hostage of your own stupidity
Ruining your life willingly
Trading anger for your liberty
Hostage of your own stupidity

Stand back fat man , say farewell
Grown up lonely, daddy’s in a cell
Good lives squandered for endless lies
They stopped listening, no more replies  

The wrong side of history
A dark & lonely place
Remember your liberty 
Before your disgrace 

The storm has passed over now 
Moved on to another cash cow
He’s not coming back, no one is
Life left in tatters, just the abyss 

Was it worth the hate & anger?
Cannon fodder for a 2bit gangster
Riled up, programmed to march on in
He treats you now like worthless vermin

Cause & Effect

Fair Weather Friends 

You’re only here, for what you can get. 
Letting you in, is my, only regret. 
Busy when I need help, from you. 

Fair weather friends, the taking never ends. 
Fair weather friends, the taking never ends. 

One way drinks,  
Oh, he never thinks, 
Yeah, fucking right. 
Conveniently broke, 
Absolutely pathetic,  
Worthless joke. 

It’s easy to sponge, harder to give. 
I only see you, when you take. 
Our patience wears thin, 
Keep this up, and the reckoning will begin. 

Fair weather friends, the taking never ends.

IF I

Our lives moved on, 
I didn’t notice you were gone. 
You didn’t respond, 
I should have tried harder. 

Would you still be here? 
If I was there for you?
If I had tried harder.

Your secret shared, 
or held captive still,
I was pushing upwards,
You were six feet down, 
Too late to help you,
Too busy to reach out,
It doesn’t happen suddenly.

Forever we were friends, 
sharing biased shade.
Always loyal when it counts.
But you believed the lies.

Would you still be here? 
If I was there for you?
If I had tried harder.

Your secret shared, 
or held captive still,
I was pushing upwards,
You were six feet down, 
Too late to help you,
Too busy to reach out,
It doesn’t happen suddenly.
