Brown Shirts Red Hats
Brown shirts red hats
Fake “fake news” and a worried staff
Repeat the lie until they think it’s true
Hide the facts so that they’ll follow you
Long knives for Mike Pence, now an enemy?
Transferring power so tragically
Brown shirts red hats
Waving flags wearing masks
Unit the wrong and call it right
Need to talk but you wanna fight
A long way from freedom , the bottom line
New lows for project 2025
Brown shirts red hats
Photo op give ‘em tear gas
“To serve and protect”
Or mislead and neglect
Keeping a promise to crush the weak
Directing your office to lie and cheat
Every outburst was seen and heard
Maybe this poison is what we deserve

Jesus Was A Refugee

Jesus Was a Refugee
Jesus was a refugee
When the angel said they had to flee
There was safety on the other side
A small part of a bigger life
Jesus was a refugee
On the run from tyranny
Protected by his mom and dad
Delivered from an evil plan
Crossing the border seeking asylum
They had to move quick where no one could find them
Crossing the border had to walk through the desert
A way to survive sticking together
Jesus was a refugee
Long before his ministry
A stranger in a foreign land
A small part of a bigger plan
All the stories that we’ll never hear
Of the journeys that grew out of fear
Jesus was a refugee
To bring a greater empathy
Crossing the border seeking asylum
They had to move quick where no one could find them
Crossing the border had to walk through the desert
A way to survive sticking together
What you do to the least of these
Let’s me know what you think of me
What you do with the things you’ve got
Shows me what you really want
What you do to the least of these
Let’s me know what you think of me
What you do with the things you’ve got
Shows me what you really want
Jesus was a refugee
He showed us what our faith should mean
Jesus was a refugee
With peace and love and empathy
Jesus was a refugee
He showed us who we need to see
Jesus was a refugee
But it hasn’t changed what you believe

Super Fear
How did we get here, I’m not really sure
A thousand choices, each one a better turn
Angry pitchforks, to amplify a voice
A blessed outcome, silenced the counter point
The numbers lie, don’t bother with the facts
The chickens sleep, while the fox plans it’s attack
It was said out loud, they announce the power grab
It’s wild and it’s stronger than their greed
How to move on, we’re completely stuck
One more for freedom, clandestine out of luck
To know for certain, undermining faith
But it’s not stealing, if it’s been thrown away
The numbers lie, don’t bother with the facts
The chickens sleep, while the fox plans it’s attack
It was said out loud, they announce the power grab
It’s wild and it’s stronger than their greed
It’s wild and it’s stronger than their grief
It’s wild and it’s the worst I’ve ever seen

Yelling At A Barking Dog
The cast and crew are walking out
You couldn’t keep them inspired
You agreed to let ‘em sing
then you made them use their hands
All of this was meant to hold us back
Blame the weak while expanding the attacks
You’ve argued that it’s not your fault
But you’re yelling at a barking dog
The ambulance is getting close
And it’s worse than you believed
You agreed to keep ‘em safe
then you made them use a stick
Worship flows to the power that they love
While freedom shrinks in Post America
You claimed nothing could throw you off
And yet you’re yelling at a barking dog
All of this was meant to hold you back
Took the bait and stumbled right into their trap
Looks more than a little off
you’re still yelling at a barking dog
How could the answers be received so wrong
You’re still Yelling at a barking dog
It’d be better if you’d turn it off
It’d be better if you made it stop

Shit Show
The pressure’s built and the sky is dark
Is this the end or just the start
Can’t keep up it moves too quick
Was caught on film but it doesn’t stick
Stay inside safe and sound
The reasons changed to run you down
This for that but which is worse
A bill of rights or a flag that burns
Gold standard all out of business
Blind silence can’t find a witness
It’s a real shit show
They’re makin’ trouble, you got here first
Chaos works the inside out
Broke the glass but the alarms don’t sound
An IQ test comes back to me
In uppercase I meant to scream
Gold standard all out of business
Blind silence can’t find a witness
It’s a real shit show
They’re makin’ trouble, you got here first
It could happen on a good day
What’s the difference if it wont play
I was hoping for a spit take
I was hoping we’d be ok
Billionaires and assault weapons
Bodyguards for hungry kids
This for that “thoughts and prayers”
Shattered lives for the right to bear
Gold standard all out of business
Blind silence can’t find a witness
It’s a real shit show
They’re makin’ trouble, you got here first
They’re making trouble but you got there first
They’re making trouble and you made it worse

New Colossus Betrayed
The poem at the statue’s base
Give me your tired and poor
But you’re trying to change our soul
Locking the golden door
One day you’ll hear a voice
Revealing your shame
You’ll have to answer for
Hiding a truth
Feeding a lie, fixing the game
Scapegoats for a power grab
Bring your huddled masses
They're beggin’ for mercy here
and you’re with holding second chances
One day you’ll see the line
And admit what you’ve done
The weights gonna pin you down
Your excuse will be gone
You’ll pay for it then, you knew it was wrong
You think that you own the light
An inherited grace
But it’s only a proving ground
A short stop on the way
One day you’ll stand before
The ones you’ve destroyed
The cost of a dream deferred
The question remains
Did you raise the lamp ?
Did you hide the flame ?

Bad For Business

Bad for Business
Find someone weak I read your mind
Failing up, a cut in line
Just like them but not the same
The outcome bends to the wrong shape
Slide out of the room, with your fallacy intact
You wont have to double up, If you plan to double back
There’s nothing in your way but you just need something to curse
The margin call the trades go live
The market crash was organized
What they don’t know could quickly turn
It’s been read about but it’s still unheard
It’s up there on the screen, your need to feel divine
Misinformed the common ground changing fates on party lines
There’s nothing in your way but you just need something to curse
Flaming arrows of retribution
but you wont listen say it’s bad for business
Run the numbers you bought the track team
It’s bad for business so you wont listen
Confirmation it’s time to get out
You wont listen say it’s bad for business
Final thoughts on a melting glacier
But you wont listen if it’s just bad for business

Life Jackets
The running time, 4 more years
the protocols were designed by fear
shut it down with no remorse
reverse the growth from a golf course
An orange mask with an evil grin
The markets wait so you can sneak one in
Good and bad and right and wrong
It hurts too much to sing along
Who’s playing, I don’t feel it
Who’s buying can’t believe it
Life jackets 11th hour
We might be going down
Every inch of God’s green earth
Been pulverized by a tube screamer
In my bones and in my soul
The way it starts is the way it goes
Who’s lying familiar spirit
Indignant I’m not listening
Life jackets 13th hour
Love and only love
The prism meets the hourglass
The mercy sinks the threats expand
The red ink fades the crypto climbs
Jesus saves but you’re not sure why
Who’s shaken and out of options
Who’s worried that we can’t stop ‘em
Life jackets, more destruction
You only make it worse
The wrong question the wrong description
Translation the guilt keeps givin'
Life jackets so unstable
We might be going down

Bibles For Sale
More money
For lawyer fees
“ a place of business”
But it’s Holy week
Chinese bibles in a trade war
Chinese bibles, is this what you’ve prayed for
More money
For lawyer fees
So dishonest
He just doesn’t believe
Campaign bibles man made agenda
Campaign bibles, to pay to defend him
Money changer
Pharisee
The oval office
Den of thieves
American bibles who will they exclude
American bibles it should be a rescue
American bibles from an enemy of the people
American bibles through the eye of a needle

Somebody Loves You
Caught in the friction tension’s so strong
Work up the courage to point out what went wrong
feels like an angle a trick of the light
you knew it was coming but you’re still not ready to fight
Makes you so mad
And you just hate it
So discouraged
You just hate it
Somebody loves you
Say it out loud
Whatever the outcome, what you’re worried about
Somebody loves you
Say it again
It doesn’t matter where it starts or where it ends
Feels like a bad dream but you know that it’s real
Spinning your purpose, your time at the wheel
Everything ending might be starting again
It’s only moment can’t see ‘round the bend
Makes you so sad
You just hate it
It’s hard to focus
You just hate it
Somebody loves you
Say it out loud
Whatever the outcome, what you’re worried about
Somebody loves you
Say it again
It doesn’t matter where it starts or where it ends
It's hard to measure by yourself
But you might find it with a little help
Somebody loves you
Say it out loud
Whatever the outcome, what you’re worried about
Somebody loves you
Say it again
It doesn’t matter where it starts or where it ends
