There's a thousand deaths a day
and the end is miles away
still I wonder where is it
we went wrong
your either broke or life's a joke
'cause there ain't nowhere to go
when going there will kill someone
who looks the same as you
I got the pandemic blues
no thanks to all of you
out there acting and thinking
it were not true
there's a killer in me and you
it just depends on what you do
how bads it go to get for you to believe it?
said how bads it got to get for you to believe it?
said how bads it got to get for you to believe it?

Burn It All Down

When I was young
mom said son
follow the rules
don't play with guns
fight for what's right
until you've won
the work ain't over til the
job is done
Now I look around
seeing lawlessness abound
but its from the ones
who claim they've done
a service in providing us some protection
Its all got to go
total abolition so you know
state funded street gang
blue life isn't a thing
so fuck your crowd control
Its all go to go
take your broken system ass back home
take off your riot gear
do I make myself clear
the revolution is on a roll
Its a shame that you don't know
a police is bad for the soul
quit your job
nobody likes a cop
its all got to go
Shameful pig your indignant
thinking dark skin is never innocent
you done wrong now it wont take long
the streets are gunna reap what you sow
no prisons just rock and roll
this is reality not a reality TV show
and I wont get mine til the thin blue line
is deep deep down in the line
its all got to go total abolition
so you know
state funded street gang
blue life isn't a thing
so fuck your crowd control
its a shame that you don't know
a police is bad for the soul
just quit your job nobody likes a cop
its all got to go
quit your job nobody likes a cop
its all got to go

What It's Like

You think you wanna know what it's like
well if I were you I might be thinking twice
this game we play is rigged right from the start
and that's before you even get to the hardest part
see you can push it everyday
learn from your mistakes
in the end the question still remains
but they say ignorance is bliss
meaning there's nothing you would miss
so why waste your time wonderin' what its like
If you don't ask the questions
then they won't tell you the lies
but if lifes meaning becomes your obsession
you'll be obsessed until the day that you die
You think you wanna know what it's like
the space residing between you and I
when I say there's nothing to see
and you ask how can that be?
I suppose you're right so what the hell is it like?
If you dont ask the questions
then they won't tell you the lies
if you live life by others discretion
may the discretion of others favor you in stride
If you don't ask the questions
then they won't tell you the lies
if lifes meaning becomes your obsession
you'll be obsessed until the day that you die
'cause you never really can tell
what on earth it's like

Perfect Idiot

They say nobodies perfect but I know this one guy
he couldn't be more perfect if he tried
he can't ever do wrong can't tell a single lie
because he decides what's true and manufactures what is right
it doesn't really matter as long as he's on your mind
He's the perfect idiot
totally self assured
he's the perfect idiot
perfectly disturbed
he's the perfect idiot
a product of his time
he's the perfect idiot
jealous and unkind
You can't decipher what he's said
before what comes out next
his only means of discourse is to put down and deflect
he worships at the feet of monetary gain
if you call him anything but great
he'll just call you insane
one more time before somebody says his names
He's the perfect idiot
just started talking one day
he's the perfect idiot
doesn't mean a word he say
he's the perfect idiot
the best of the worst of us
he's the perfect idiot
and he's driving the bus

Christian evangelicals bible bumping assholes
catholics baptists lutherans and methodists
then you got your pentecostals non-denominationals
jehovahs witness mormon mystics but its all the same ain't it
Say you accept a man as king expect that to absolve everything
bad news is god knows what you did and what you did not mean
you're all going to hell
I'm sorry if you couldn't tell
but you can't go on preachin
somethin you don't practice
near as much as you sell
You're all going to hell
take me with you might as well
to be with all the queer jew islamic commie
hedonistic atheists you locked up for eternity in a cell
ah hell
You gotta think about things
and I know how hard that is for you
like how this came to be
and what you deem is true
see Jesus was a middle eastern man
he wasn't white he had a tan
an alstruistic socialist whose only request
was that we follow the golden rule
We're all going to hell
get your picture so you can tell
which dumb face you made
while getting locked away
in your eternal damnation cell
We're all going to hell
buckle up and fair thee well
the flames burn hot
while we rot in the devils hotel
The earth ain't six thousand years old
and god don't care who's your lover
I know you can't save my soul
I know its not one or the other
its just you and me
how it's supposed to be
why get caught up in what's next
for all we know this is all that it could be
We're all going to hell
get your picture so you can tell
which dumb face you made
while getting locked away
in your eternal damnation cell
We're all going to hell
buckle up and fair thee well
the flames burn hot
while we rot in the devils hotel
there's always vacant space at the fire breathing demon hotel
there's always vacant space at the fire breathing demon
blood sucking heathen roller-coaster hotel
