Blind Me
One day I woke up
and I opened my eyes
I saw things I never saw before
One day I woke up
I visualized
I saw things for how they really were
Blind Me Blind Blind Me
One morning I woke up
with the gift of sight
I saw things I never saw before 
One morning I woke up
in the middle of a fight
I saw them treat my mom like a whore
Blind me Blind Blind me
When I was young
I opened my eyes
I saw my country lie
I saw my God die
In my desperate search for honesty
All I saw were their lies and treachery
have driven me Blind

Truth
I have to come to terms
with the true definition of I
I have to re-evaluate
myself with myself
my own proof of worth
for nobody else
If the Truth be known
I'll always be alone
to think I thought
I knew myself
Truth-let the truth be know
The pain of being my worst enemy
can no longer be endured
the pollution must end
Time to be my best friend
Time to be reborn
in a value of my own
If the Truth be known
I'll always be alone
Truth-let the truth be known
Truth

Same Old Song Remains The Same
As I look out over this beautiful land
I follow my eyes up to the bright blue sky
I think to myself when all this goes
that'll be the day that I want to die
>From where I stand I see a devastated land
devastation of an entire Nation
The line is drawn and its all clear cut
the damage is done with one last chop
The engines roar as the cars roll by
and I just want to die
I'm just singing the same old song
its going, its going, its Gone
I'm just SICK of the Same Old Song
As I look out over this beautiful land
I throw my arms up at the bright blue sky
I know in my heart when all this goes
that'll be the day that I want to die
but until the day I lay my body to rest
I'll put my life and death to the test
and fight for this Land for which I stand
right down to my very last breath.

X-Communicated
Reaching for the bible
like a junkie for the needle
Fucked up fundamentally, you're
fucked up
Leaning on your church
like a cripple on a crutch
There's a white devil among us
There's a white devil in office
Your blind faith has left unforgiven
Wielding your religion
as if it were a weapon
Fucked up fundamentally, you're 
fucked up
Lining your pockets
you deceived a believing flock
There's a white devil among us
walking on the right side
White god with blond hair and blue eyes
is a god of lies
Jesus didn't look like that
You know he didn't look like that
I hold all you right wing christians
in suspicion
There's a white devil among us
There's a white devil in office
Devouring all the stupid fucks

Running With The Devil
Times in my life I felt I was dying
Trials in my life I am still surviving
Like a phoenix rising up from its
own flames
I've been resurrected rise in my own name
I must face the facts,
acknowledge all I've known
across the tracks and back
finally I have grown
I must face the truth,
acknowledge all I've seen
with every fiber of my heart and soul and being
Content of Character
constant test of will
Pass or fail this test
I will sacrifice 
Help me celebrate 
this precious life
as the battle rages
I will carry on
True to my convictions
I shall overcome
Content of Character
a constant test of my will

Homefront
I've been unmade
enslaved by a wage
in the U.S.A.
They'll rob me in my grave
I.W.W. 
What's it mean to you
Wobblies wobble but they don't 
fall down
Back home on the homefront
I'm back home on the homefront
Battered
Back home on the homefront
I must embrace my pain
before I go insane
I'm punching holes
in my walls
I raise my fist in a flame of pain
I raise my fist for Justice
I feel unmade
I feel betrayed
in the U.S.A.
I'm an unmade man
UNMADE
I'm an unmade man

Stands Alone
The Statue of Liberty used to stand forsomething
but now She stands alone
She once welcomed the tired and hungry
She welcomed millions to the USA
but today, She has to turn the massesaway
If She could speak,
what would She say?
LIBERTY STANDS ALONE!
The Statue of Liberty used to 
stand for something
but now She stands alone?

Paper
Little pieces of colored paper
Feel its grip and its will to shape ya
Kneel before the greed
that's gonna rape ya
Call collect to the undertaker
little pieces of colored paper
valued more than its very maker
It is your god
It is your king
It puts a price on everything
Watch the color of our collar
when you steal the almighty dollar
The color of money is the color of greed
That is a shade of green I do not need
It plagues men's hearts
poisons their souls
They make the money
but its in control
You face the facts
then you'd know that its true
its got more of a right to exist than you do
Put a price on your life
My pockets are empty
but my heart is full
and I don't need money
to give my life value
You can buy the land
but you can't buy the Sky
There are some things in this world
that your money can't buy
THESE DREAMS ARE FREE

Badge 118
Passing out in parking lots
living low sweating tents
waking up passing out
completely fucking spent
Living low because I'll chance
Living low but I made a thousand dance
Beat me down in the cell but I won't break
Beat me down in the cell but I won't break
I learned not to make the same mistakes
Beat me down in the cell but I won't break
No I won't break I won't break no
Got you in my rear view
pull me over flashing blues
ask me for some honesty
use it to arrest me
Living low because I'll chance
Living low but I made a thousand dance
Beat me down in the cell but I won't break
Beat me down in the cell but I won't break
They can chase me from state to state to state
Beat me down in the cell but I won't break
I won't break I won't
Try to crush my spirit
Can't even get near it
NO I won't break I won't break NO

Burnt
I used to have fun in the summer sun
but now I have to run for the shade
I used to have fun in the noon day sun
but now its got me headed for an early grave
Like a Deathstar rising in the horizon
you better beware of the tricks
the sunlight plays
I'm not lying out I'll be hiding out
in these last days of ultraviolet rays
The sun has set on my summer Forever
Tick tock goes the clock down to the wire 
Out of the frying pan and into the fire

Deadline
I've got to get things done
before my permanent vacation
I'm always running 
running out of time
Is it true that haste makes waste
I can't afford to hesitate
I've got a Deadline on my Lifetime
Tick tock goes the clock
and its never ever gonna stop
Until it falls off the wall
and we all fall to a crawl
Is it true that haste makes waste
I can't afford to hesitate
I've got a Deadline on my Lifetime
A body in motion stays in motion
a body at rest will stay at rest
No matter how severe
I'm gonna persevere
I'm always running in a circle, within myself
If its true that haste makes waste
I can't afford to hesitate
Deadline
A body in motion stays in motion
a body at rest will stay at rest
A body in motion...

Elephant
Largest land mammal
on the face of the plant
faces extinction
this very minute
Taken from the Land
by the Hand of Man
largest land mammal
faces extinction
in our lifetime
What are we gonna do about it?
Absolutely-- Nothing
Absolute--Extinction
Taken from the Land
by the Hands of Man
cutting a hole
through the heart of the jungle
shrewn with body parts
Look Ma, top of the food chain
whose the king of the road
Has my kind gone so blind
or are we just Insane
look Ma, top of the food chain
Whose the king of the jungle NOW?
Largest land mammal
murdered for jewelry
stolen for ivory
I curse your trophies
Largest land mammal
Taken from the Land
by the Hands of Man

The Highway
The only real way is the highway
Paid my dues singing the blues
not gonna bitch about
the holes in my shoes
Play all night 
work all day
travel around the country because I love to play
The only real way is the highway
I get to get on the stage
I get to bend the bars of my vocal range
travel across the land
making payments on the van
We're gonna rock as hard as we physically can
Fuck #1 we play it all for fun
the harder it gets
is because the harder it comes
not better than the rest
just put ourselves to the test
putting the suck back into success
the only real way is the highway
I think I can
Its what you make it man
You get out of it what you put in
Its what you make it!

This Land
This Land is your Land
this Land is my Land
from California
to the Boston Harbor
from the Redwood forest
to the Gulf stream waters
this Land was made for you and me
As I went rambling that ribbon of highway
I saw above me a polluted skyway
I saw below me a congested highway
This Land was made for you and me
On Sunday morning in the shadow of the steeple
by the welfare office I see my people
They stood there hungry, I stood there screaming
This Land was made for you and me
Nobody out there can ever stop me
when I go walking that Freedom highway
Nobody out there could ever make me turn
This Land was made for you and me
As I went walking I saw a sign there
and on the sign it 
said no trespassing
But on the other side it said nothing
that side was made for you and me!
