The Smoke Is Rolling In

The smoke is rolling in and we're all gonna die
All gonna die
All gonna die
The smoke is rolling in and we're all gonna die
All gonna die
All gonna die
David went jogging almost every single day
If you want to talk to him that seems to be the way
To do it without risking all their lives, why didn't they try?
The ATF decided they would stop him in his tracks
They'd let him string the longest fuse
Then light it with a match
And if you listen closely you can hear all the voices
As they start to scream and cry
The smoke is rolling in and we're all gonna die
All gonna die
All gonna die
The smoke is rolling in and we're all gonna die
All gonna die
All gonna die
No-one ever thinks about it thanks to Tim McVeigh
Thanks to him the ATF has gotten clean away
Truth be told I don't think we'll ever question any of their lies
The smoke is rolling in and we're all gonna die
All gonna die
All gonna die
The smoke is rolling in and we're all gonna die
All gonna die
All gonna die

My Lifestyle Of Leisure
01:47
|

You gotta pay your taxes
As we blame it on the rich
They won't pay their fare share
We blame them for inflation
I guess that life's a bitch
You gotta pay your union dues
To help support the fight
No, we don't need an audit
Don't dare call it kickbacks
They're just payments in the night
You've gotta keep me in a lifestyle of leisure
You've gotta keep me in a lifestyle of luxury
You voted me in office so I could be a leader
The other guy's an asshole so you know that I'm a keeper
You voted me in power
I go to work every day
But I don't do a damn thing
But make fiery speeches
And collect my pay
You've gotta keep me in a lifestyle of leisure
You've gotta keep me in a lifestyle of luxury
You voted me in office so I could be a leader
The other guy's an asshole so you know that I'm a keeper
You voted me in office, there's no job that could be sweeter
If you think you're getting fucked just be thankful it's not deeper

T.V. All Day
02:50
|
|||
I’m so sick and tired of watching the news
Hearing half truths, being confused
They twist the stories just to get us to watch
Gotta get their ratings no matter the cost
I can’t sit and watch the t.v. all day
Hear the words that they say
Again and again
I can’t hear all the lies that they tell
All the shit that they sell
It’s a world of pretend
Pundits and their lies all over the place
Can’t you see how often they get egg on their face?
All their twists and turns, it’s a logical maze
Spreading their lies day after day
I can’t sit and watch the t.v. all day
Hear the words that they say
Again and again
I can’t hear all the lies that they tell
All the shit that they sell
It’s a world of pretend
I can’t sit and watch the t.v. all day
Hear the words that they say
Again and again
I can’t hear all the lies that they tell
All the shit that they sell
It’s a world of pretend
I can’t sit and watch the t.v. all day
Hear the words that they say
Again and again
I can’t sit and watch the t.v. all day
Hear the words that they say
Again and again
I can’t hear all the lies that they tell
All the shit that they sell
It’s a world of pretend
I’m so sick and tired of watching the news
Hearing half truths, being confused

Tired
02:02
|
|||
I’m so fucking tired of all this bullshit
I’m so fucking tired of all this bullshit
I’m so fucking tired
I’m so fucking tired
Everybody says I gotta wear a mask
They say it’s not too much to ask
I’m not against the safety goal
I’m not tryin’ to be an asshole
The masks I wear don’t seal too well
Against my face or my beard it’s just a veil
If it means you feel a little safer
I’ll modify my behavior
I’m so fucking tired of all this bullshit
I’m so fucking tired of all this bullshit
I’m so fucking tired
I’m so fucking tired
I’m not saying I won’t be polite
I’ll wear it out both day and night
I wear it all day working
But it can’t stop me from all this cursing
I’m so fucking tired of all this bullshit
I’m so fucking tired of all this bullshit
I’m so fucking tired
I’m so fucking tired

Friendship Bracelet
02:05
|
|||
Drinking some beer on the back roads
The black top is miles away
Flashing lights and they pull me over
They're gonna take me to a cage
They shove me down, they push me to the ground
But I don't want their friendship bracelet
They bend my arm back, I think I heard it snap
But I don't want their friendship bracelet
Been sitting in this cell for hours
They still have me in cuffs
They say I gotta wait 'til the morning
Before I can see the judge
They shove me down, they push me to the ground
But I don't want their friendship bracelet
They bend my arm back, I think I heard it snap
But I don't want their friendship bracelet
They shove me down, they push me to the ground
But I don't want their friendship bracelet
They bend my arm back, I think I heard it snap
But I don't want their friendship bracelet
They punched me in the face, said I was unsafe
'Cuz I don't want their friendship bracelet
They tazed me in the ear, they brought me to tears
So fuck their goddamn friendship bracelet

Billionaire Bully
01:38
|
|||
The rich are the minority
Most discriminated against
But it's hard to feel sorry for a billionaire bully
It's hard to come to their defense
Everybody hates the rich
But everybody envies the rich
A lot of them are assholes
But a lot of poor people
Can be fucking assholes, too
They say that no-one should ever be rich
No-one should care what they think
It's hard to feel sorry for a billionaire bully
But at least he'll pay for his own drink
Everybody hates the rich
But everybody envies the rich
A lot of them are assholes
But a lot of poor people
Can be fucking assholes, too
Everybody hates the rich
But everybody envies the rich
A lot of them are assholes
But a lot of poor people
Can be fucking assholes, too

You Never Know
01:39
|

You don't want to see the lies they tell
But if you look around you can see the hell
You never know why
You only know the lies
And I don't want to be the one you turn to when you realize
They don't give a fuck about you as they devastate your life
I don't wanna be the one you hate
As you finally realize your fate
You never know why
You only know the lies
And I don't want to be the one you turn to when you realize
They don't give a fuck about you as they devastate your life
You never know why
You only know the lies
And I don't want to be the one you turn to when you realize
They don't give a fuck about you as they devastate your...
And I don't want to be the one you turn to when you realize
They don't give a fuck about you as they devastate your life

Comptroller
01:51
|

Democrats like to spend, spend spend
Republicans like to do it, too
Who they give it to will just depend
On how they're gonna screw me and you
A good comptroller
A good comptroller
A good comptroller
Will help us end the insanity
Reelection is the number one goal
Everything else is number two
To get reelected they will sell our soul
The people they serve will always lose.
A good comptroller
A good comptroller
A good comptroller
Will help us end the insanity
Will help us end the insanity
A good comptroller
A good comptroller
A good comptroller
Will help us end the insanity
Will help us end the insanity
Will help us end the insanity

Material Change
02:27
|
|||
Thirteen point eight billion years
And this is what we end up with?
The left and the right, two sides of a coin
They push us all right over the cliff
From helium and hydrogen
After billions of years we end up here
From helium and hydrogen
If there is a god you'd think he could do it better
Hypocrisy that knows now bounds
Lip service to their voting base
Dishonesty, deceitfulness
I don't know how much more we can take
From helium and hydrogen
After billions of years we end up here
From helium and hydrogen
If there is a god...
Material change is what we need
A little more or a little less gravity
Material change is what we need
Join together and vote third party
From helium and hydrogen
After billions of years we end up here
From helium and hydrogen
If there is a god you'd think he could do it better

You pushed me down the stairs
And you made me break my neck
You made me so damn mad
I said, “What the heck!”
You never said you’re sorry
You never made a peep
I just thank the lord
That the steps weren’t very steep
If I ever learn to walk again, I know
I’m gonna chase you wherever you may go
If I ever learn to walk again, I swear
I’m gonna get you if I make it up the stairs
You pushed me down the stairs
Yeah, you made me take the fall
You broke both of my legs
I couldn’t even crawl
Now my mind is fuzzy
It’s floating in a spiral
You took a fucking video
And it’s going viral
If I ever learn to walk again, I know
I’m gonna chase you wherever you may go
If I ever learn to walk again, I swear
I’m gonna get you if I make it up the stairs
Somewhere at the bottom of the stairs I think I’m gonna die
If I ever learn to walk again, I know
I’m gonna chase you wherever you may go
If I ever learn to walk again, I swear
I’m gonna get you if I make it up the stairs

The Last Good Year
01:30
|
|||
The Vandals were in defeat
The soldiers took their daughters and wives
But God took away the sun
We pray to God to forgive our sins
The sun did not shine
Just like an eclipse
As we shed a tear
For the last good year
535 A
535 A
535 AD
Men were not free from war
Men were not free from pestilence
Men were not free from death
Beginning in the year 636
The sun did not shine
Just like an eclipse
As we shed a tear
For the last good year
535 A
535 A
535 AD
A most dread portent took place that year
For the beams the sun shed were anything but clear
It gave forth its light without brightness
The sun did not shine
Just like an eclipse
As we shed a tear
For the last good year
535 A
535 A
535 AD

Judged By Twelve
01:41
|
|||
A black man, a white man both get shot
They pass more laws and still it won’t stop
I’ve got a daughter and I’m afraid
That without a gun she’ll be killed or raped
Best to be judged by twelve
Than to be carried by six
Best to be judged by twelve
Than to be carried by six
It’s a long battle with the government
Taking our rights without consent
If we have a right to self defense
They can’t take our guns on a pretense
Best to be judged by twelve
Than to be carried by six
Best to be judged by twelve
Than to be carried by six
Best to be judged by twelve
Than to be carried by six
Best to be judged by twelve
Than to be carried by six

Perpetual Crisis
01:55
|
|||
Take a look around, tell me what you see
The whole damn world is going to hell
Look at yourself and don’t blame me
It’s your fault if you can’t tell
You vote last time
(This is what we get)
You vote next time
(This is what we get)
You vote all the time
(What else did you expect?)
A perpetual crisis
Fires in the street you call anarchy
But you don’t know what that means
Voluntary action: your capacity
Own yourself or they’ll intervene
You vote last time
(This is what we get)
You vote next time
(This is what we get)
You vote all the time
(What else did you expect?)
A perpetual crisis
You vote last time
(This is what we get)
You vote next time
(This is what we get)
You vote all the time
(What else did you expect?)
A perpetual crisis
You vote last time
(This is what we get)
You vote next time
(This is what we get)
You vote all the time
(What else did you expect?)
A perpetual crisis
A perpetual crisis
A perpetual crisis

Mythical Creature
03:13
|
|||
Sitting in my house day after day
Nothing to do but hear the words they say
They keep talking but they don't say a thing
Been sitting here since winter and now it is spring
Every four years we get to vote
From only two options it's such a joke
Don't call it flaw 'cause it's a feature
An honest political is a mythical creature
I'm so confused, tired of listening to Trump
Sometimes I wish he would shut the fuck up
His lips are moving but nothing comes out
At least nothing I need to worry about
Every four years we get to vote
From only two options it's such a joke
Don't call it flaw 'cause it's a feature
An honest political is a mythical creature
I, I'm tired of sitting here
I, I'm tired of sitting here
Sitting here
Sitting here
