When The Pendulum Swings
03:45

Lyrics:
At the end of the day
when it all comes clean
will they put him away?
when the pendulum swings
when the pendulum swings
when the fat lady sings
will they put him away when the pendulum swings?
Mueller builds the case
let there be no doubt
in this paper chase
let it all leak out
when the pendulum swings
when the pendulum swings
will they put him away when the pendulum swings?
when the pendulum swings
honey let it swing
gotta put him away when the pendulum swings
go and let him tweet
so he could hang himself
word is on the street
strip him of his wealth
when the pendulum swings
when the fat lady sings
will they put him away when the pendulum swings?
when the pendulum swings
honey let it swing
gotta put him away when the pendulum swings
gotta lock him away when the pendulum swings
lock the bastard away when the pendulum swings

In the underwater sculpture garden and museum of sunken ideas
you can see the statues of confederate losers
to remember how they lost the war
you could teach a bigot how to scuba dive
to view their heritage of hate
It's not a sunken' treasure
it's ideas that died and are buried in a watery grave
In the underwater sculpture garden and museum of sunken ideas
you can see the statues of confederate losers
to remind you how they lost the war
you could view robert e lee
far below the sea
fighting for slavery
his face all covered in algea
in the underwater sculpture garden and museum of sunken ideas
you can see the statues of confederate losers
to remind you how they lost the war
remember how they lost the war?
take a hateful ideology
and teach em about something new
what about Marine Biology?
what about the Ocean Blue?
in the underwater sculpture garden and museum of sunken ideas
you can see the statues of confederate losers to remind you how they lost the war
visitors can look down on the statues
far in the depths below
the statues could serve as a structure
to help the coral reef to grow
in the underwater sculpture garden and museum of sunken ideas
you can see the statues of confederate losers to remind you how they lost the war
remember how they lost the war
Do you remember how they lost the war?
these are the guys who lost the war
they lost the war
remember?

Laying At your Feet
04:38
|
|||
|
Laying at your feet while you play piano
elegant and sweet your profile left a shadow
on that weird painting of the kid with bangs that you found in the Ozarks
I'm glad you finally got out before it got too dark
Well i hope i find a goat by Meissen at a thrift store
or a bird with a beetle on a tree, now that would be a big score
Well i'll send you Tupelo Honey baby from Florida
but it probably won't be Tupelo honey.
Probably be anything sweet like melted snow cones
or whatever else is in between the hive and the tree. i don't know,
Walking in the sun looking up at the branches
the canopy of green, the aerial bird dances
i don't know how they follow each other so closely
something bout the magnetic pull the compass in their brain, i don't know
well i hope the pain subsides and you continue your improving
strengthen all your ties and live a life that's soothing
you're strong as the lion from the painting you restored in Kansas City
the one from the circus, so meticulously
Your sculptures are on par with the finest in this whole world
the alligator gar, with his teeth replaced with pearls
or the midget with the ace of hearts on a pedestal of cards
or the wolverine with a box to reveal its' heart
the years we lived and died
we must extend the hyphen
man the time does fly
as fleeting as the bison.

Heather Heyer

|
Dark days are goin' down
there's a virus upon the town
Swept through Charlottesville
against the town folks will
The virus attacks the brain
makes folks hateful and insane
feeds off ignorance
flourishes on violence
and attacks the innocent
Heather Heyer
32 years old
Heather Heyer lost her life
you can't blame both sides
you can't shame both sides
Heather Heyer lost her life
In the name of equality
protesting bigotry
for the love of humanity
every culture in community
stamp out this bigotry!
Heather Heyer
magnify her
Heather Heyer lost her life
for equality
protesting bigotry
Heather Heyer lost her life
from the cops up the chain of command
to the highest office in the land
the virus ate their brains
made them hateful and insane
while the inclusive community
built up strength and immunity
and a statue to honor thee
and the plaque will read:
Heather Heyer
32 year old
Heather Heyer lost her life
for equality
protesting bigotry
Heather Heyer lost her life

from the presidential palace of pornography ( doo wop doo wop)
turning us into a third rate country ( shoo wop shoo wop)
the anti intellectual and the proudly dumb are
waving flags and they're having their fun now
that the presidential palace has a stripper pole
the oval office is lined in fake gold
ted nugents got a stranglehold.
They like to keep the women under control
great. makin' it great again
great.. just for them
now the presidential palace of bigotry
the treasonous office of impunity
they've got a magic weapon and it's smoke and mirrors
as the grand ole party all hail to their furor
they can't win fair so they gerrymander
the truth hurts they call it fake news and slander or (opposing views spun as fake news and slander)
play to paranoia and religious shame
with bathroom bill distraction games.
hate... they're makin' folks hate again
hate.. it's all they're doin'.
from the presidential palace of indignity
they disassemble a democracy
took the constitution to the paper shredder
blamed it on the intern while drafting up the letter
reality tv ideocracy
they pledged allegiance to the wealth and the money
those poor rich folks need all the help they could get
like billionaires are cashing welfare checks now
great... makin it great again
great... for one half of one percent
now the presidential palace has a flaming cess pool
surrounded by zombies who closed down the school
privatized the prison for the new slavery
and let your houses burn cause you didn't pay your fee
and the EPA it slipped away
all the scientific data got dumped in the bay
the Cuyahoga River caught fire again
and they were dancin on the shore
all these rich old businessmen
singin' great... we're makin' it great again
great... just for them.. (unbridled capitalism)
with their supreme court judge now to twist the law or ( with your supreme court judge by name of Kavenaugh)
with his drunk, rape entitled frat boy character flaw
he's gonna hold true all your family values
fake Christian belief and his unbiased views
He said we'll "reap his whirlwind" appointed for life
as he calmly took the oath with his kids and his wife
thousands of protesters raged on that day
democracy died and he smiled and he said
great.. we're makin' it great again
great... and we're gonna reap his whirlwind
So the presidential palace sent a motorcade (doo wop doo wop)
to roll coal dust all over the earth day parade (shoo wop shoo wop)
while they were getting golden showers in the presidential suite (doo wop doo wop)
in the casino tower built on Pennsylvania Avenue
great... makin' it great again
great..just for them
great... for the wealthy family
great... for the banking industry
great .. for the oil industry
great... for the snakes of wall street
great.. but not for you and me

Lyrics to Empty Gesture:
you say your heart goes out to them, thoughts and prayers too
empty gesture blathering still nothing's what you do
the horror keeps unfolding, the violence and the pain
you remembered all your weapons but forgotten every name
of our sisters and our brothers while their blood flows on the streets
but you never could be bothered cause you couldn't take the heat
with your identity of politics you lost your very soul
The NRA was in your pocket, we got no gun control
So the blood is on your face and hands as you look the other way
and justify your plan to go on another day
with this weaponry of warfare so easy to be had
you tell me how you care, pretended you were sad
while your hollow heart goes out to them thoughts and prayers too
empty gesture blabbering still nothin's what you do
the horror keeps unfolding the violence and the pain
empty gesture blabbering but still you do nothing
remembering Las Vegas at the country music show
58 were killed that day from a shooter in a hotel window
remember all the kids of Newtown and those of Columbine
remember all these people, remember every time
but you try to keep us scared, try to sell the fear
to keep the bullets flying' so you can profiteer
while we're crying' at the graveyard you're laughing to the bank
you say you're trying hard but secretly you're giving thanks
while your hollow heart goes out to them, thoughts and prayers too
empty gesture blabbering still nothin's what you do
the horror keeps unfolding, the violence and the pain
another candle lit gathering but still you do nothing
you say we need protection, protection from these crimes
personal protection in these violent awful times
protection paranoia, it's protection gone insane
i need protection from protection, who's to win in this dumb game?
or get caught up in the crossfire of some good guy with his gun
who got drunk and accidentally pulled the trigger on his son
stood his ground to that intruder but it was his own daughter sneaking out
he didn't mean to shoot her but in his weapons he's still devout
my hollow heart goes out to them, thoughts and prayers too
empty gesture blabbering still nothin's what we do
the horror keeps unfolding, the violence and the pain
empty gesture blathering but still i do nothing.
I second an amendment to amend the second one
to end this psychopathic society of guns
to finally grow a spine and condemn the NRA
let all these itchy trigger fingers learn to macrame
on the day i got my way of what to do with all these guns
i melted them all down and made bikes for everyone
took all that gun powder for a fireworks display
for independence from gun violence but they shot me that same day.

Thought i was a hurricane
but i was just a tropical depression
years and years of pouring rain
unorganized with no direction
I thought i was a hurricane
couldn't take the high pressure system
it ate the eye wall to my brain
and destroyed all my convection
in this cone of uncertainty i blew upon your door
land fall destroyed me at the shore
and i rained myself out to flood a river with my tears
willed this to happen for too many years
thought i was a hurricane
now i'm just an unnamed storm
living out the weather in vein
John Hope said "nope! you're not a storm"
but i could i rain myself out to flood a river with my tears
willed this to happen for too many years
I couldn't rock you like a tropical depression
just bummed you out with my confession
but the Scorpions are gonna be playin' in Tampa tonight
Scorpions are playing in Tampa tonight
i got 4 tickets we can go with Johnny and Denise his new wife
Scorpions are playin Tampa tonight
yeah they're partying down at the Quality Inn
Scorpions play in Tampa tonight
yeah i saw some guy in a leather vest on the elevator
Scorpions playin in Tampa tonight
he was using a trash can for a beer cooler stuffed with beers
Scorpions playin' in Tampa tonight
he's passed out on a lawn chair
Scorpions are playin' in Tampa tonight
i wonder if he even made it to the concert.

All The Empty Houses
04:42

all the empty houses sitting lonely by the sea
all the empty houses sitting free
all the empty houses sitting lonely on the hill
all the empty houses sitting still
where have all the people gone?
where have all these people gone?
no children playing on the lawn
no one's ever on
I have run the leaf blower and i have blown the leaves
i have run the weed eater and i have chopped the weeds
these are investment properties
the owner's in the city
it's where they make the money
for the investment property
not a single leaf
there's not a single leaf
i've manicured this lawn
that no one's ever on
where have all the people gone?
where have all the people gone?
i have manicured this lawn
that no one's ever on
Many are the people in the city park at dawn
many are the people on the lawn
cops have come scare the homeless people from the lawn
cops have come with guns and their batons
they have come to confiscate the blankets and the tents
not compensate for tripling of the rents
the rich will try to vilify the migrants and the poor
while they're the ones who closed and locked the door
you people gotta move along
they have come to clear the lawn
you people gotta move along
wayward lost and gone
all the empty houses sitting lonely by the sea
all the empty houses sitting free
