TOOL OF EMPIRE White supremacy, a cancer White man's burden, your disease Privatization, a plague Militarism, their creed Don't doubt or ask questions Don't think for yourself Of all the things That you could be Why do you choose to be a fuckin' Tool of Empire? Tool of Empire Don't be a fuckin' Tool of Empire Tool (break) Don't doubt or ask questions Don't think for yourself Of all the things That you could be Why do you choose to be a fuckin' Tool of Empire? Corporate media, propaganda Click bait, dejure Ad hominem in absentia Profiting from people's pain Don't doubt or ask questions Don't think for yourself Of all the things That you could be Why do you choose to be a fuckin' Tool of Empire? Don't be a fuckin' Tool of Empire Tool of Empire Don't be a fuckin' tool

Spooks 05:41

SPOOKS Beards who watch and listen Spooks move among us Slithering between loyalties Walking through two doors Theirs and money, their lord Openly betraying Their interests elevating Integrity inverted, greed automated So sprach der Spook: “I got mine, fuck all y’all” Spooks, bloody spooks Spooks, bloody spooks Right, left, front, center, and rear Who’s the spook up over under and in you? Silent and hiding Uncritically conforming Always informing Twisting society like a toy until it’s broke, disfigured Performing their role without a care save their own Free to prosper in the land of spooks Spooks, bloody spooks Spooks, bloody spooks <solo break> Spooks, bloody spooks Spooks Dear Spook, Which form do you take? The team player, the happy homemaker, a trusted colleague? The rich, the poor, the bourgeois middle Hipsters, lawyers, doctors, and bankers The auditor, the creditor, the loan approver? The forecloser, the repoman? Spooks, bloody spooks Spooks Spooks, bloody spooks Spooks Spooks. . . of the corporate caliphate Spooks, bloody spooks

As the World Burns 07:52
lyrics

AS THE WORLD BURNS As the world burns I can’t seem to find my phone There’s no one to call And no one to send pics home As the world burns I don’t know which way to turn Who should I trust? And will we never learn (break) As the world burns And we turn the other cheek Our complicity in our own demise Speaks volumes of the weak And the spineless, who are they? And should we even care If the meek inherit the Earth I reckon their plates are bound to be bare Refrain: ‘Cause division and hatred Are devised to divide We slit our own throats for scraps While the rich just wine and dine (break) Paradise is burning And there’s no water left to drink We teeter on the verge now Yawning into the brink What will we leave the future And what will we tell the past? We couldn’t see that train coming Barreling down our own neglected tracks Refrain: ‘Cause division and hatred Are devised to divide We slit our own throats for scraps While the rich just wine and dine (break) Where are the prophets now And should we heed their calls? I hear they’re working two jobs on the weekend Going door to door Pushing their feeble samples Promises of a cure Lining their own pockets Hypocrisy de jure Refrain: As the world burns And we sit upon our thrones I got mine, F all y’all Go out and get your own (solo) As the world burns Follow the signs of the seal Deep down in our heart of hearts We know it’s about to get real So give thanks for your fortune Your family and your friends The lucky man is that man Who runs with them till the end Till the end… The macro in the micro The micro in the macro ...Till the end

MAJESTIC We try to make amends But the blade drives sharp Down dark and deep Where pain rolls like thunder I've seen it all before Pettiness spite and fear It just drags you down And won't let go (solo) I've seen it all before Pettiness spite and fear It just drags you down They say to rise above Try and be majestic Be the better man Or you might live to regret it I've seen it all before Pettiness spite and fear It just drags you down Until you come back for more

LIBERAL MILQUETOAST ESTABLISHMENT BOOTLICKER [Phil Ochs] “…10 degrees to the left of center in good times 10 degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally…” Sunday afternoon spins in your Tesla How very Gatsby! Where do you think the electricity for your hybrid comes from? Coal, coal, nuclear, and natural gas How can you pretend to give a fuck about the environment while empowering politicians who support fracking? [Phil Ochs] “…10 degrees to the left of center in good times 10 degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally…” When the status quo kills Just what are you preserving? When one group stands privileged, tell me Who is really deserving? Blue Lives Matter, fuck that shit The shiny black boots of the fist of the state— They ain’t lollipops, suckas!! Liberal milquetoast establishment bootlicker! Liberal milquetoast establishment bootlicker! <break> [Stef Zamorano] “You know what, I like to think of this as political porn.” [Ron Placone] “It’s like animatronic propaganda. Like it seems like robotic. It’s just like ‘there were cosigners, random source, to not be named, Russian oligarchs, some would say!’” [Graham Elwood] “Shut the fuck up Kamala with your fucking bullshit. I’m so fucking tired of this shit. I’m so sick of listening to this bullshit! Why don’t you also talk about when you were district attorney and you protected pedophile priests? Why don’t you talk about that? Talk to me about that! ‘Cause I’ll tell you what, Assad didn’t take my fuckin’ house. Maduro didn’t take my fuckin’ house. Iran didn’t take my fuckin’ house. Jill Stein didn’t take my fuckin’ house. Susan Sarandon didn’t take my fuckin’ house. These motherfuckers took my house! And I’d like to see Tulsi Gabbard whoop your fuckin’ corporate oligarch ass!!” [Stef Zamorano] “Graham…Graham…I don’t…I don’t understand…I don’t understand why Susan Sarandon’s gonna take your house.” [Phil Ochs] “…10 degrees to the left of center in good times 10 degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally…” Endless war to end all wars? 20 years on the U.S. War of Terror is still gunnin’ You know it’s wrong But still you pay your taxes? Instead of gathering in the streets and bum-rushin’ the Pentagon You direct your Two Minutes of Hate at the Orange Cheetoh or talk shit about RT, Putin, Russia, and Assange?!? Liberal milquetoast establishment bootlicker! Liberal milquetoast establishment bootlicker! Liberal milquetoast establishment bootlicker! Liberal milquetoast establishment boot—lick—er!

Rigged 05:03

RIGGED [Krystal Ball] "Well guys, it was rigged, what can I tell ya? That is not a conspiracy, it is a simple objective statement of fact. Let me explain what I mean here..." "After waiting nearly an entire day and endless speeches about how it was better to be late than wrong and a day of chastising Sanders supporters for doubting the fairness of a process run by people with manifest contempt for them, the Iowa Democratic Party made the absolutely inexplicable decision to release a partial set of data from the Iowa caucuses that showed 62% of the vote totals." Legalized bribery, payoffs, kickbacks Cooping, armed thugs, intimidators Bruisers, ballot stuffing, vote buying Machinations, tabulators, hijinks, hacks Legal rollbacks!! (break) Straight up fraud, missing ballots, poll taxes Dark money, gerrymandering, super pacs, hanging chads Slick insiders, backroom deals, intimidation Superdelegates, bots, faulty apps!! I know their ways I know their game (break) [Krystal Ball] "As if they hadn't done enough damage to any sense of trust in our basic democratic institutions, which they have clearly sold to a coalition of grifters and donors, the pièce de résistance came yesterday evening. I'm not alleging a grand conspiracy here, not at all, but a potent combination of media and democratic establishment contempt combined with utter incompetence..." (solo) I know their ways I know it's rigged!! [Krystal Ball] "You don't call that rigging? If Russian bots were somehow involved, you can bet that MSNBC would be in full meltdown mode for years to come. But because it benefits one of their anointed, preferred candidates they'll just accept it instead." "Let me just say this: trust is something that has to be earned. And today, there is absolutely no reason for any anti-establishment supporter to trust that the process will unfold fairly for them." [Jimmy Dore] "It's a real people's party, huh?"
