"Stars and Stripes of Corruption Lyrics"
Ustabe Lyrics
It used to be, but not anymore Time slipped through my fingers to the floor It used to be, but not anymore Tipped my hat and walked through the door It used to be the greatest thing to catch fireflies in the evening And to watch cartoons in my underwear It used to be my greatest fear Was what the girl sitting in front of me would say about my hair But now it's so hard, I'm so far from where I have been I cannot win anymore Now I sometimes cry, wonder why, oh I can't stand it Why can't it be like before?
Finally got to Washington in the middle of the night
I couldn't wait
I headed straight for the Capitol Mall
My heart began to pound
Yahoo! It really exists
The American International Pictures logo
I looked up at that Capitol Building
Couldn't help but wonder why
I felt like saying "Hello, old friend"
Walked up the hill to touch it
Then I unzipped my pants
And pissed on it when nobody was looking
Like a great eternal Klansman
With his two flashing red eyes
Turn around he's always watching
The Washington monument pricks the sky
With flags like pubic hair ringed 'round the bottom
The symbols of our heritage
Lit up proudly in the night
Somehow fits to see the homeless people
Passed out on the lawn
So this is where it happens
The power games and bribes
All lobbying for a piece of ass
Of the stars and stripes of corruption
Makes me feel so ashamed
To be an American
When we're too stuck up to learn from our mistakes
Trying to start another Viet Nam
Like fiddling while Ro
The Boss says, "You're laid off. Blame the Japanese"
"America's back," alright
At the game it plays the worst
Strip mining the world like a slave plantation
No wonder others hate us
And the Hitlers we handpick
To bleed their people dry
For our evil empire
The drug we're fed
To make us like it
Is God and country with a band
People we know who should know better
Howl, "America riles. Let's go to war!"
Business scams are what's worth dying for.FUCK!
Are the Soviets our worst enemy?
We're destroying ourselves instead
Who cares about our civil rights
As long as I get paid?
The blind Me-Generation
Doesn't care if life's a lie
so easily used, so proud to enforce
The stars and stripes of corruption
Let's bring it all down!
Let's bring It all down!
Let's bring it all down,down,down,down,down,down!
Tell me who's the real patriots
The Archie Bunker slobs waving flags
Or the people with the guts to work
For some real change?
Rednec
We loot the world, yet we can't even feed ourselves
Our real test of strength is caring
Not the war toys we sell the world
Just carry on, thankful to be farmed like worms
Old glory for a blanket
As you suck on your thumbs
Real freedom scares you
'Cause it means responsibility
So you chicken out and threaten me
Saying, "Love it or leave it"
I'll get beat up if I criticize it
You say you'll fight to the death
To save your useless flag
If you want a banana republic that bad
Then why don't you go move to one
But what can just one of us do?
Against all that money and power
Trying to crush us into roaches?
We don't destroy society in a day
Until we change ourselves first
From the inside out
We can start by not lying so much
And treating other people like dirt
It's easy not to base our lives
On how much we can scam
And you know
It feels good to lift that monkey off our back
I'm thankful I live in a place
Where I can say the things I doAm I My Brothers Keeper Lyrics

Stargazer Lyrics
Been thinking how to escape? This strait-jacket of constraint Been thinking what can be wrong? With feelings that long to belong Stargazing me In an upside down sea So weary this strait-jacket dreamer So resigned to continue to suffer But you've learnt that as you grow weaker There's less hurt because there's much less to hurt Stargazing me In a tumbling sea Up in the galaxy Staring down on me Stargazer reach out to touch With your mind that frees you so much Stargazer kissing your kismet With bri

To Ashes Lyrics
Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the wrarmth of your eyes) Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind) Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the wrarmth of your eyes) Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind) You speak to me in rhythm and it waves across the water
ks and bombs don't make us strongWhy, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the wrarmth of your eyes) Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind) Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside gray skies have been broken (I'll never see the wrarmth of your eyes) Cold eyes softly spoken (Your face forever etched in my mind) You speak to me in rhythm and it waves across the water

So I'm on guard against the goons
Trying to take my rights away
We've got to rise above the need for cops and laws
Let kids learn communication
Instead of schools pushing competition
How about more art and theater instead of sports?
People will always do drugs
Let's legalize them
Crime drops when the mob can't price them
Budget's in the red
Let's tax religion
No one will do it for us
We'll just have to fix ourselves
Honesty ain't all that hard
Just put Rambo back inside your pants
Causing trouble for the system is much more fun
Thank you for the toilet paper
But your flag is meaningless to me
Look around, we're all people
Who needs countries anyway?
Our land, I love it too
I think I love it more than you
I care enough to fight
For the stars and stripes of corruption
Let's bring it all down!
Let's bring it all down!
Let's bring it all down!
If we don't try
If we just lie
If we can't find
A way to do it better than this
Who will?
