You could be President if your daddy was first
If your brother the governor had the power to coerce
It's absurd but he could change laws so certain votes were heard
For what it's worth, that "democratic" election could be yours

Blinded by the Right

It's the beginning of t

Dear Slim,
My favorite icon put the bong and the knife down
I'm sick of the songs about strapping your mom and your ex-wife down
To a nuclear bomb and dropping them on Saddam
Killing all the muses you use in almost all of your songs
Except those songs about Slim the Hip-Hoppi

To what ends we justify.
One word tells all that can be said.
Feed the fire of aggression. charred skeleton of a past remain. Silent. relinquish the thoughts to dust. Red as the blood that flows from our wrists. Insatiable. red as the blood that flows from our throats. Our legacy remai

Burn with the rest.
all innocence lost.

I starve for your dagger. put to rest this warm sadness frame by frame into the fire. I starve for your flame. I have seen better days. So take this last one with you. And fly the colors of your heart at half mast. Standing a

Our Christmas bonus
Was spared with patience
While men who owned us
Took paid vacations
They tried to clone us
To fight deflation
They should have blown us
What?
For reparations

Instead we eavesdropped
Found secret files
Of bad accounting
In shre

Here's my song about gun control
As my politics begin to roll
Things are getting out of control
It's time to stop, drop and rock 'n' roll

We built and sold them the guns
Made in America

Glued to the tube TV before Dallas 1963
It was assumed baby boomers
Bloome

Everybody stand up, get down
Move when I tell you to, so move now

Gather the people
Move to a new place
Gather the people
Do it in a few days
Gather the people
Find out the new ways
To start a new phase
In a few days
In a new place

Crawled through

The sadness locked inside of you.
The beauty of nothing.
The absence of sacrifice, of pain.
Fortress of solitude. burn it down. buried by arrogance. stones crumble. walls fallen from clenched fists that feel no pain. the fists that built them. Shadows of a scarred and skeleton wor

I will never take the life of innocence.
This world's malevolence will be its demise.
Compassion is not something that
I am willing to compromise. For once mankind must open its eyes to the world around. Realize a change must take place. How long must we live on the death of the w

Tucked in the woods
Near North Chicago
Early November
Commences our saga
Two loved in silence
For fear of corruption
Then fate chimed in
With an evil grin and a mighty interruption

She awoke in a panic
The TV in static
She heard a voice
In the attic<

We've come through some tough times
But we've come through them together,
All of us from every race, every religion and ethnic background.
All that we've done and all that we mean to do
Is to make this country freer still.
America's future rests in a thousand dreams inside yo

I'm jailed within
The cell I'm in
And once again
You're on my mind
Trapped inside
The days go by
I wonder why
You're on my mind
I count the days
And dream of ways
To see your face
You're on my mind
SOS
I'm in duress
Nevertheless
You're

Take me bound and gagged. These moments never seemed so clear.
Vivid memories.
I awake.
Whispers shatter the silence. buried in this womb. we stay lost. Buried in this womb. Shelter from the rain. still we are left searching for someone to mend these wounds. we stay under shelter

Lost to the scars that frame. The one last glimpse of you. Portraits of a past fade, rot, and disappear as the dead are carried away.
For a moment it was so clear. Break the windows. smash the mirrors. erase the memories in this eleventh hour. nothing says
I love you like slit wrists.

All he ever wanted was to skip across the water

Tick tock the clock is getting faster

Vicariously
Lives through the dusty
Pebbles while thrusting
Them onto the pond
So very trusting
Betting the calm is strong
And won't let them drown
He's got to swallow hi

grey skies turn red.
choking on the bitterness
it brings. the autumn winds blow right through me. so when you shoot, aim straight for the heart of October. I hold my chest as tomorrow bleeds away. such beautiful words you fed me. I see now that I was choking on each line. so turn your

It's just cruel
It's just mean
I should've let this stay unseen

I don't believe that something's wrong
I don't believe that something's wrong

Fill up the gates but block the flow
Tilt back the head before they blow
Sit back again enjoy the show
My life's a mov

Drown.
Swallowed by these tides that cry.
Not one moment too soon. Regret. Close your eyes, let them pull you away. In this bleeding dawn. wake for the first time. in your eyes a light shines so bright it blinds me. under a sky of rust. raining down on me. walls of red close in. so col
