Sacred Land

Sometimes I don't understand our lack of compassion
When we take things and we use them as if they were ours alone
We build our monuments to ourselves on ancient hallowed land
Profaning it in a way that's uniquely all our own
We've learned to subdue our world in foul unnatural ways
But we know that our dominion is a fleeting one at best
As things progress beyond the norm and we close our eyes to see
Never knowing that in the end ours is a fatal rest
Standing on sacred ground unable to see the past
I hope that someday we learn a different set of rules
'Cause the ship that we're sailing on is a loaded ship of fools
(guitar solo)
I'm tired of the same old lame excuses by those in power
When they frame as a game for bullies and bruisers
As they grab more land and grub for oil and never once look back
It's more obvious that we're clueless witless brainless fucked up losers

Cool Hand Luke

Well, you ain't no Cool Hand Luke
You never ate no fifty eggs
You never cut the heads off of any parking meters
Or had chain gang chains on your legs
Well, you ain't no Cool Hand Luke
You never spent a night in the box
You never made the best with a hand full of nothing
And learned to live with your hard life knocks
I'm gonna bounce another rock right off your head
Put another name on you instead
'Cause you ain't no Cool Hand Luke
Well, I don't know why we fail
In our attempts to communicate
It seems you blame the world and the ones you love
For your sorry life and your injured state
But we ain't done nothin' to you
You've made your own little life full of bile
I don't understand how your mind works
But your bullshit is quite a pile

Save The Whales

Save the whales
Whales are cool, they are my friends
I hate to see them come to unfortunate ends
Harpoons in their sides, killed for their blubber
Don't want no whale killin', I'm a whale lover
Hey listen, hear me, what I say, whales are cool
And unlike fish they don't swim in schools
Whales what I love and you better love them too
Otherwise you'll find a harpoon sticking in you
Whales are cool, they got blow holes
And they are mammals like cows and does
They don't hurt no one, so dig what I say
To hunt them for money just ain't a good way
To take care of our world, it's the only one we've got
And if the whales are gone then there's no way to stop
Them aliens comin' down like Star Trek IV
Till we ain't got any world anymore

Don't Care Anymore
01:52
|
|||
|
I don't want to know
And I don't want to care
And I don't want to feel
And I don't want to dare
Giving up is the easy thing to do
Giving up makes me lose only you
And I don't care at all
And I don't want to grow
And I don't want to change me
And I don't want to go
I only want to be

Did You Proud
03:34
|

|
Nostradamus did you proud
Discipleship proved you were all deserving
Following in footsteps bold
I followed though I knew the tide was turning
They no longer cared
They took me away from you
I tried my hand at loving you
But I found you were far beyond approach
I trusted you completely
But changed to everyone you know
But you cannot shut me out
'Cause I'm not one of them
You know I've seen it all before
The open stage, the open door
But they never let me through
They never let me in to see you
Your crowd of minions gets me down
They make me want to go and be your martyr
Flog it in your senseless mind
The dirt you preach forgets me all together
But I once loved you so
But you don't want me back
You know I've seen it all before
The open stage, the open door
But they never let me through
They never let me in to see you
People run away each day
Like you they turn and slip away
They lose their minds, they lose control
Until they are no longer whole
Don't know what I'm going to do
My life means nothing without you
Nostradamus did you proud
Discipleship proved you were all deserving

Right Thinking Man
02:58
|

|
Your indignation stirs me and I'm really quite amused
While you laugh at those around you and I think you're so confused
Well, no one here can tell you what is right and what s wrong
As you point your finger accusingly at those who don't belong
So tell me everything you know
As the wind of lunacy from your mouth flows
'Cause you're a right thinking man
You're a moral thinking man
Well, Hannity and Limbaugh are your daily dose of bile
Topped off with Bill O'Reilly and his snarky pointed style
Well, the talking points drone on and on in the realm of the absurd
And the daily portion of hate and rage from coast to coast is heard
Well, you wrap the flag around you and you preach your gospel of hate
I'd like to help you save your soul but I guess that it's too late
Global warming is a lie you say we're the invincible human race
As Americans we rule the world and shove our morals in their face
Oh why do they hate us you can be heard to wonder aloud
As we shove our God right down their throats 'cause their god's not allowed

Something's Wrong
03:35
|
|||
|
I sit here late and I ponder
If we will ever learn
There is no strength in numbers
If no fire within us burns
As we grow in ways to suit
Our vanity and greed
Looking to gain the things we want
Rather than what we need
Good intentions put aside
We need to honest with ourselves
Do we serve others to glorify God
Or put trophies on our shelves
Give in silence asking for nothing
Forget you've done it and go your way
Make it part of howyou live
A normal routine on a normal day
We need to find ways to serve
That don't glorify ourselves
Because if we have to sing our own song
Somethings wrong

All About You
01:58
|
|||
|
Sometimes it's you
Sometimes it's me
Sometimes it's something deep down inside
You don't want see
I don't know
Why you do what you
I just know the problem isn't me
It's all about you
My mind is clear
But your mind is not
I try to see for the both of us
What's real or not
Your feelings
They never come outside
So it's a guessing game
Which rollercoaster we're all gonna ride
So take a break
Calm yourself
You get so uneasy and nervous
It's time for something else
I got no anger
No deep laid plans
The conspiracy theories are fiction
You don't understand

Gonna Be Different
02:41
|
|||
|
I thought that you were cool you know I thought you were okay
Thought maybe you were different, but it didn't turn out that way
So you packed your bags and off you went to where we do not know
Never thought I'd be doing handstands just to watch you go
I don't know, I don't know
Oh yeah
It's gonna be different 'round here
I find I'm not missing you and the company you keep
And now that you have left the scene I see I was in too deep
It takes to much work to care for all your selfish needs and pain
When everything about you drives us all insane
They say blood runs deep in family but I know that it's not true
Just because you're family does not make me love you
Relatives you cannot pick, you know that it's too bad
Because blood runs thinner than water here and I think it's rather sad

All Good Things
02:45
|
|||
|
I will try to do my best
And I won't worry about the rest
Though I stumble and always fall
In the end you were there through it all
Though life changes in fits and stargs
All that matters is what's in our hearts
You know sometimes life moves too fast
Only good things are made to last
Life begins and life ends
We gain others and lose friends
As a mortal living in fragility
Once a savior, won't you please save me

Crazy Power
02:26
|
|||
|
I burn my bridges now
I will leap before I look
Ignore what I mistook
And dive into the blaze head first
It won't get better
'Cause it will go from bad to worse
Like evolution in reverse
And all that's left is fear and crazy power
With the Bible in one hand
With a sword we aim to kill
Those we perceive that bear us ill
'Till the rest of all mankind looks like us
Where do we go from here?
I think only God knows
The way this river flows
We need to learn to love and not to hate
