Paseo

I can walk your dog I can wash your car,
I can fetch your dinner from the abattoir,
We can talk all night I can rake your lawn,
We can take a trip to the movies lest the feeling's gone.
It's a sweet parade it's a paseo,
My dog is always with me but he mostly barks alone.
WOOF
Lock your windows bolt your doors,
Keep out the sweetness to the weakness of the left of the law,
Take another look down on the street some of us are sleeping on the floor, Make sure you're always scared of something except for sending the boys to war.
I can walk your dog I can wash your car,
I can fetch your dinner from the abattoir,
We can talk all night I can rake your lawn,
We can take another trip to the movies lest the feeling's gone.
It's a sweet parade it's a lullaby, contentment's sitting in the back of your eye,
It's a fire in the day it's a long way home,
My dog is always with me but he mostly barks alone.
WOOF.

Cigarette Lighter

Echo Chamber, Narrow sight,
Extreme left never meets extreme right,
Terror Preacher, Freedom fighter,
Arsonist, Cigarette Lighter.
Left says bigot, Right says dreamer,
But at the core neither are either,
So, by all means, preach your righteous way,
Shine your light and I'll watch the shadow play.
I'll keep walking,
Cos I can't help that I feel something,
That rises above all the talking,
The sway in the trees the smell of fire picking up on the breeze.
Echo Chamber, Narrow sight,
Indignation, Equal right,
Hate inciter, Fascist fighter,
Tinder box, Cigarette lighter.
Left Says bigot, right says dreamer,
But at the core neither are either,
So, by all means, preach your righteous way,
Shine your light and I'll watch the shadow play.
I'll keep walking
Cos I can't help that I feel something,
That rises above all the talking,
The sway in the trees the smell of fire picking up on the breeze.
I am on your side I have been since day one,
We tried and tried to build ourselves a home,
One foot after the other, keep keeping on,
Cos it will soon be over.
I'll keep walking
Cos I can't help that I feel something,
That rises above all the talking,
The sway in the trees the smell of fire picking up on the breeze.

Numb
02:51

|
All my life spent listening to the same old lies, Bound working to the same old time, Kept hush about the same old crimes,
But if we get any further right,
I'll be finding a place where I can freely live my life, In a manner that I feel's right,
For a purpose that furthers light,
Never having to struggle or fight,
For the freedoms of the common man,
For the love of a giving hand.
Numb
All my life told I should not defy, Taught I should just comply, That I'm a villain if I occupy, But if none of us try ask why, We'll never see a time, When a black life's worth a white, When a woman isn't undermined,
When greed isn't held up high, When none of us have to die,
For the freedoms of the common man, For the love of a giving hand.
Numb

Subsission

Burn away sweep the stakes on a sugar high, Fully packaged piece of shit seems to catch your eye, All the while lay lying in a suit and tie,
Say what you want,
As long as it's the sweet surrender mind on acquisition, Seems to get you high,
All around ring roses of repetition,
Did I guess you right?

Flag

|
Waving your flag around,
Waving your flag around, Living in a hole in the ground, Waving your flag around,
As if nothing really matters at all, As if nothing really matters at all, If it all ends up in the hole, Then nothing really matters at all.
