RESIST Lyrics:

Here we are today in a trumped upped world
Where it’s not safe to be a boy or a girl
Cuz’ the animals who took control hate their fellow man
Yeah, these monsters of greed have their own plans

Never trust a man who wants to break all he sees
No never trust a man who only loves money
Never turn your back, or you will surely find
He’d gladly snuff out your life for a thin, thin dime

America went to sleep and she was killed
By her own people of their own will
They laid her down, tore out her heart, and smashed out her brains
And all that remains of her is our poverty and pain

Yours and mine
Yours and mine
Yeah, yours and mine
Yeah, yours and mine
All of it stolen by the rich man’s crimes

If you choose this as all you wanted and more
Then heart’s as useless as a broken door
Your soul must be dead and your brain must really be sick, sick
How could you fall so low for a rich man’s trick?

Now stand up and face yourself in the mirror
It’s time for us to find a way from here
We got one chance and only one chance left, left
Don’t let this be your babies world when you take your last breath

No don’t let this be your babies world, it’s time to resist

Don’t let this be your babies world, resist…

Things Are Always The Same Lyrics

Why don’t we go somewhere?
Someplace where no one cares
Bout’ our skin or our hair
Yeah, there’s gotta be a place somewhere

Cuz such things are nothing but dreams you know
Yeah, things are always the same wherever you go

Imagine a world of peace
Without hatred in the streets
Where all children got enough to eat
And shoes for their feet

Yeah, such things are nothing but dreams you know
Yeah, things are always the same wherever you go

Imagine if the rich were good
And the privileged understood
That money ain’t all there is
Now imagine a world like this

But such things are nothing but dreams you know
Yeah, things are always the same wherever you go
Yeah, things are always the same wherever you go
Things are always the same don’t you know?

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

Butcher Man Lyrics

I’m just a pig in heat, cruising down your street
and I’m just looking for some action
Cruising in my black and white, look at me and my pretty lights
I just need the slightest infraction

Cuz I… I… am the law
And my authority out ranks anything you saw
Cuz I’m the butcher man, the butcher man
God help you cuz I’m the butcher man
I’m the butcher man, the butcher man
God rest your soul cuz I’m the butcher man

For walkin’ in the road, my gun I’ll unload
and I’ll just let you lay there and die
Go ahead and raise your hands, cuz I got my own plans
Cuz when you’re dead I can just lie

Cuz I… I… am the law
And my authority out ranks anything you saw
Cuz I’m the butcher man, I’m the butcher man
God help you cuz I’m the butcher man
I’m the butcher man, the butcher man
God rest your soul cuz I’m the butcher man

Don’t be black and young, holdin’ a toy gun
Cuz in two seconds I’ll kill you
Catch you with a broke tail light, and I’ll snuff out your life
Cuz I’m just paid to do what I do

Sell some loose cigarettes, you won’t live to regret
Cuz I just want to kill someone
Now if you’re an ethnic chick, I’d like to give you some of my stick
and if you wanna live you tell no one

Cuz I… I… am the law
And my authority out ranks anything you saw
Cuz I’m the butcher man, the butcher man
God help you cuz I’m the butcher man
I’m the butcher man, I’m the butcher man
God rest your soul cuz I’m the butcher man

I’m the butcher man, the butcher man
And I can’t wait to put you in a body bag…

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
