LYRICS:
Old man river said you can go your own way
If you just leave him alone doesn’t matter
Do not deliver all your things today we are going home
Oh mama we now so hungry
I got bats in the belfry I'm in the kitchen boiling society
I'm in the open catching all the leaves we all see what we want
Old man river said you can go your own way
If you just leave him alone doesn’t matter
Do not deliver all your things today we are going home
Oh mama we now so hungry
I got bats in the belfry I'm in the kitchen boiling society
I'm in the open catching all the leaves we all see what we want
I have a crazy idiosyncrasy it's affinity to serendipity
And in this eternal epiphany no hypocrisy or duplicity
Oh mama we now so hungry
I got bats in the belfry I'm in the kitchen boiling society

LYRICS:
We try to understand
The right to life like fire to the arson
You got it right at last, but then the world
Had a different plan and it took it all away
Years and years you fought
To try to light your darkness with a reason
Maybe a woman someday, maybe even a child
To hold and help and start over again
And we run and we gun and we die young
And we curse and we crush and we hide
And we fight and we fuck and we make up
And we love and we shove it aside
Years and years you fought
To try to light your darkness with a reason
Maybe a woman someday, maybe even a child
To hold and help and start over again
And we run and we gun and we die young
And we curse and we crush and we hide
And we fight and we fuck and we make up
And we love and we shove it aside
Your eyes they shine, they shine from somewhere else
I’m going in and out, I gotta lie down
Never seen a light like that myself
And we run and we gun and we die young
And we curse and we crush and we hide
And we fight and we fuck and we make up
And we love and we shove it aside
Your eyes they shine, they shine from somewhere else
I’m going in and out, I got to lie down
Never seen a light like that myself
Your eyes they shine, they shine from somewhere else")

LYRICS
One man get killed by a man sworn to protect him
we reeling and dealing and elect a white nationalist president
Unconvicted people just sitting in prison
Families are struggling to swim against the corporate system
is this the promise land
who is the promised man
He only talks when the chopper blades spinning
chopper help the ego of the narcissist kidling
but we need to look at our selves, more or less how we voted
What’s that tell you now, tells you that we wrote it
I guess it should come as no surprise
Its just you’d think that we’d have done better, with all the time, all the generations
And now we’re on the edge of loosing it all, if we don’t kill each other, Mother Nature will
And can you blame her,, all we have is each other, all we have is you

LYRICS:
hey lady of the mountain, can you hear all, all the howling
hey lady I think I’m bleeding, we’ve been walking, barely sleeping
and we always look so far away, ask us why and we cannot say
all we know is that, we had to leave in seconds flat
can you tuck us in, can we tell you where we’ve been
and it’s full steam wrecking ahead
born and razed, born and razed
it’s like you got a price on your head
born and razed, born and razed
hey lady of the ocean, can you feel all, all the commotion
we are just floating, going nowhere, theyre not going to save us, they let us drown here
and we sink down into the sea, and at last we cease to be
and at its source well find a ladder down to the divine
where a horse that can barely walk, waits for her wings to be revived
and it’s full steam wrecking ahead
born and razed, born and razed
it’s like you got a price on your head
born and razed, born and razed
you see the horse she lives in a cave
lies on the floor with her crippled legs
her wings are folded they gently heave
with her belly as she breaths
waiting for the new moon eve
to just give her one more night
it’s alright, we can finally see the shore,
and we never look back no more…
since we came into this world
born and razed, born and razed
we been knocked down at every turn
born and razed, born and razed")

LYRICS:
Aw its dark outside
I’ve been trying to get a ride
(While) my body waits, my body waits
America warm my face
Ive been trying to turn the page
Once i was a little boy, staring at my shoes
You came along and found me in the chicken coop
But time takes over, i cant say when
Time takes over, may we do it again
Take me to the beachhead let’s go over
All of those rocks at the end of the road
Take me down to main street with no clothes on with our bare feet on the
Painted yellow lines with our shadows far behind us
Broke into that summer school and fooled around on the infirmary cot
And we can be like all those fairies making their rain angels in the eddies
And I have no expectation just an adolescent heart
Take me to the beachhead let’s go over
All of those rocks at the end of the road
Help me down the seawall lets find Marci
See if she got that
Invitation to the movie, the one where the kids break out of juvie
And then by their own admission they go and turn themselves all in
Just as they get there to the station,
The young one wheels and begs the pavement
For brother speed to make arrangements with the spirits of the night
Take me to the race track lets go bet on
Aw the one that no one expects to win and
Lets bet on the skinny horse he will surely try the hardest to come in first
I bet you for the winner they put on some kind of fancy dinner
Let’s be like those Philadelphia sisters
That have prayed straight for a hundred years
I have no expectation, just to be here in the present
And behold you for a second before it all goes away")

LYRICS:
Hold up the firing line hold up the fire
Walk away counting backwards from nine
Hold up the firing line hold steady on the triggers time
Walk away counting backwards from nine
Holding his breath so to start his own dying
Time time served to the ones that left you here
No people here only names soon to be put to numbers so its one in the same
Its anyones game as long as the fire flickers
The throat stickers they place their bet the trouble is that no ones added it up quite yet
Cause when they do when they do when they do when they do
Itll be a riot and the wire is down
Hold up for the fury to sound hold up your head from the ground or theyll keep you on it
Your time time served to the ones who left you here
From tower to wall to guard to guard to wall
Ever ready for the fire to fall
The confines havent seen the sun since the lifers let go of their irrelevant innocence
But long before a single round was shot word spread from block to block to cell block
Theyre going to take him and make an example of him for the escapees to fear
The incoming of the incoming of the gun oncoming another year
You either die on the inside or trying to get out the choice is yours the choice is here
Time time served to the ones who left you here
Time time served to the ones who left you here")
