Soiled Ground Lyrics

Woe is me she cried to the breeze as it spun around
Woe is me she cried to the sea as it flooded over the ground
All under heaven’s just soiled ground

Woe is me he cried for the tree as it hit the ground
Woe is me he cried for the bee when another could not be found
All under heaven’s just soiled ground
All on earth’s just soiled ground

Water’s turned to poison, nothing left to drink
Listen to decay, as you breathe in deaths stink
There ain’t no compromise when we’re all gonna die
All on this earth’s just soiled ground

Woe is me she cried to the sea as it washed away the ground
Woe is me she cried out for air as it turned a dirty brown
All under heaven’s just soiled ground
All on earth’s just soiled ground
All on the earth’s just soiled ground

Someone of Value Lyrics

Out in the darkness, there lives an old man
who eats raw chicken, with his dirty bare hands
and he says maybe, I made some bad choices
and maybe, it’s just the voices
and maybe, I could be like you, red, white and blue
and wave my flag in your parade,
and wave my flag in your parade…

Then maybe I could be someone of value
Then maybe I could be someone who mattered
Then maybe I could be someone of value
Then maybe I could be someone who matters…

Down on the corner’s, a girl we call Loosy Lou
cuz she’ll do anything, for just a dollar or two
and she says maybe, I made some bad choices
but every night, I hear their voices
and maybe, I could be like you
and not be, black and blue
and wave my flag in your parade,
and wave my flag in your parade…

Then maybe I could be someone of value
Then maybe I could be someone who mattered
Then maybe I could be someone of value
Then maybe I could be someone who matters…

Up on the hill, lives a veteran with no legs
who fought for his country, and now he has to beg
and he says maybe, I made some bad choices
listening to all your voices
and maybe, I could be like you, and not be cut in two
and wave my flag in your parade,
and wave my flag in your parade…

Then maybe I could be someone of value
Then maybe I could be someone who mattered
Then maybe I could be someone of value
Then maybe I could be someone who matters

Cornhole Blues Lyrics

Republicans and democrats, livin’ high on your income tax
and you can’t even buy your baby shoes
Send our kids off to war, what the hell they dying for
Just more entertainment for FOX News

Bend over and open wide, let em’ ram it deep inside
Ain’t ya got the cornhole blues, ain’t ya got the cornhole blues

Entitlements for the government, don’t ask where your money’s spent
cuz there ain’t no pie for you
Corporations got more rights than any citizen black or white
can’t you see that you’ve been used

Bend over and open wide, let em’ ram it deep inside
Ain’t ya got the cornhole blues, ain’t ya got the cornhole blues

You say you want a revolution, gonna let em’ change the constitution
They ain’t workin’ for you. No, no, no, they ain’t workin’ for you

Bend over and open wide, let em’ ram it deep inside
Ain’t ya got the cornhole blues, ain’t ya got the cornhole blues

Run it up the flag pole and cover up your cornhole
cuz you’ve been F’N screwed

Bend over and open wide, let em’ ram it deep inside
Ain’t ya got the cornhole blues?

United States of Shame

United States of Shame Lyrics

The man in the white sheet, he sits in a Congress seat
and he’s reelected year after year
The man who walks the beat is full of anti-color heat
and he’d like to see em’ all just disappear

United we stand, divided we fall
as our cities go up in flames
United we stand, divided we all fall
in these United States of shame

Rape a ten year old girl, cut off her pigtails
and burn a cross on her family’s lawn
Take all the blacks and Jews, and put em’ on a barbecue
and America turns away and yawns

United we stand, divided we fall
as our cities go up in flames
United we stand, divided we all fall
in these United States of shame

It’s a nation of rich and poor
and the rich WANT more and more…
to keep their “agenda obscure”

It’s a nation of rich and poor
and the rich NEED more and more…
to keep their “agendas secure”

United we stand, divided we fall
as our cities go up in flames
United we stand, divided we all fall
in these United States of shame

Take all the blacks and Jews, and put them on a barbecue
and America turns away and yawns…
