Storm's A-Comin'

All hands on deck
A storm's a-comin'
All hands on deck
A storm's a-comin'
More frequent than ever before
The wind blows the trees
out from the Earth
The rain clouds keep fallin'
Except when you need it the most
The tides keep rising
Swallowing cities whole
The sun keeps shining
Rather burn than utilize
All hands on deck
A storm's a-comin'
All hands on deck
A storm's a-comin'
More frequent than ever before
There is no place to run
No where to hide
Nothing we can do
Except stop fucking the Earth
Stop polluting
Stop destroying
Stop with the arrogance
Stop with the entitlement
Stop destroying our home

The eagle consumes at will
The apex predator
The beaver fells and dams
Ignorant of the flood
Ignorance that leads to
Confused patriot
Staring dumbfoundedly
In chains on scorched earth
Slash and burn
Industry
Slash and burn
Can't believe
Face the fact that evil
Has taken over
Everything we love
They've taken over
The eagle patrols above
The beaver dams below
Violence is used to maintain
Brutal strict control
Of petty resources
Confused Patriot
Staring dumbfoundedly
In chains on scorched earth
Slash and burn
Patriot excuse
Slash and burn
Look past the flag
Face the fact that evil
Has taken over
Taken over
They've taken over
I can see the forest for the trees
There's no fucking forest without trees
Our trail marches steep and to the right
The empires forest burns and bleeds
I can see the forest for the tress
There's no fucking forest without trees
The fascist forest only feeds the leaves
The empires forest burns and bleeds
Slash and Burn
Depleted
Slash and Burn
Everything
Face the fact that evil
Has taken over
Everything you see
Is taken over

Beginning transmission
Orbiting inhabitable world
Current lifeforms
Possess significant
Weapons which they
Use to settle
Minuscule Disputes
Recommend remote observation
Predict self-Armageddon extinction

Bad news
Things are getting worse
History repeats itself
Unless we make a change
We can do better than this
We must do better than this
Uprising to the Occasion
Uprising to the Occasion
Uprising to the Occasion
Deny their scorched Earth doctrine
Deny their system of lies
Guess What
Things are even worse
Than we are led to believe
Most folks been trained to ignore
That we can do better than this
We can do better
Rise up and disarm the corporate sponsored armies
Rise up and shut down the propaganda machine
A shadow society of puppeteers
Armed with the media and all the soldiers
Uprising to the Occasion
Uprising to the Occasion
Uprising to the Occasion
Rise up and disarm the corporate sponsored armies
Rise up and shut down the propaganda machine
Insatiable greed of the global elite
That spit in the face of all life on planet Earth
Uprising to the Occasion
Uprising to the Occasion
Deny their scorched Earth doctrine
Deny their system of lies

They lie, cheat, steal
Get what they want
They lie, cheat, kill
To get what they want
HAHAHAHAHA HA HA HA HAAA HAHAHAAA
They are laughing as we fall
Most of it is true
Right in front of eyes
I can't live with the right
Goodbye racists, sexists, homophobes
They lie, cheat, steal
Get what they want
They lie, cheat, kill
To get what they want
HAHAHAHAHA HA HA HA HAAA HAHAHAAA
They are laughing as we fall
Most of it is true
Right in front of eyes
I can't live with the right
Goodbye racists, sexists, homophobes
We hate you

Hey now baby, get into my big black car
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
I want to just show you what my politics are
I'm a political man and I practice what I preach
I'm a political man and I practice what I preach
So don't deny me, not when you're within my reach
I support the left
I don't trust the right
I support the left
I don't trust the right
I just might be there when it comes to a fight
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
I want to just show you what my politics are

Terraform
The moment when we become
What we once called god
Terraform
Germinating Earths
We can leave a wake of life
Terraform
Existences left long after
Our extinction
Folklore
Turned out to be
A prophecy
Not our history
Religion
Had it backwards
We create
We are the man in the sky
Terraform
The moment when we become
What we once called god
It's quite possible that this is
The meaning of life
Ascendance to the next level
Of existence
Terraform
Bestow evolution
What will they imagine to explain
Who created their Earth
Folklore
Turned out to be
A prophecy
Not our history
Religion
Had it backwards
We create
We are the man in the sky

Never Voted For

Remember when you voted for
Never ending war
Remember when you voted for
Fossil Czar
I never voted for
Military Police
We never voted for
Kings and queens
Spectacle of democracy
Attritionary form of conquistadors
Nothing has changed in a thousand years
including the bliss of ignorance
Remember when you voted for
Never ending war
Remember when you voted for
Fossil Czar
I never voted for
Military Police
We never voted for
Kings and queens
Debacle state of affairs
Military industrial complex
Has perfected the ultimate weapon in
Apathy
Remember when you voted for
Never ending war
Remember when you voted for
Fossil Czar
I never voted for
Military Police
We never voted for
Kings and queens
Remember when voting worked
complete farce
Remember when voting worked
Corrupt core
It has never fucking worked
Democracy
Corporate liege has you
On your knees

The Crossroads

A proxy does not justify
The petty wars of our century
A cleverly designed excuse
Never ending war
Morals code is dead and gone
Obsolete by the paradox
Of peace and war mutually assured
Stop all the fuckin' fighting
They will say we destroyed
Ourselves
Not by perceived ideals
The consequence
Dictates circumstances
Uncontrollable
The will say it turned out
To be mercy disguised
An age required for
Mutual peaceful respect
How could the darkest light
Provide this reward
Morals of old are dead and gone
Burnt to a crisp, hypocrisy
Of peace and war mutually assured
We know you're fuckin' lying
Microcosm morality
A shadow of what used to be
The irony of peace and war
Stop all the fuckin' fighting
They tell us we need to
Destroy fellow humans
No way to resolve our
Slightly different view
System where pettiness
Trumps all forms of reason
The needs of the very few
Supersede everything else
