A metaphysical Rock&Roll odyssey featuring Paul Mertens (Brian Wilson Band) on Saxophone

Guilty

An anthem for those hurt by the church, and a send-off for those who hurt them

Crooked Crosses

Well I haven't pissed clean in a decade
Can never get as high as I want
I blew my last nickel at the penny arcade 
to score a paperback Immanuel Kant
And you ask me was it worth it?
What can I say?
Will anything we do be worth it 
On Judgement Day?

Well I always did love a good parade
Any spectacle to keep me entranced
Bought a ticket to every cabaret and charade
From Chicago to Paris, France
And you ask me was it worth it?
What man could say? 
Will anything we do be worth it
On Judgement Day

Only love 
Only love will remain
Only love
Only love will remain
All else will pass away 
But love will remain
Only love
Only love will remain 

Oh yeah
Only love will remain
Oh yeah 


Well I once drank a tall glass of milkmaid 
She took me for a roll in the hay
And just like a hen with the egg that she laid
She sat upon me till the break of the day 
And you ask me was it worth it?
I wish I could say
Will anything we do be worth it?
On Judgement Day

Only love 
Only love will remain
Only love
Only love will remain
All else will pass away 
But love will remain
Only love
Only love will remain

Oh yeah
Only love will remain
Oh yeah 
All else will pass away 
But love will remain
Only love
Only love will remain

Only Love Will Remain

I wrote this song during his first term, and at the time I thought it was cringe. Three months into his second term I realized its time had come. Three months later, I realized it was already too late. Drums were recorded the day he signed the executive order criminalizing flag burning for federal employees. I was editing this song in the fallout of the Charlie Kirk assassination and the administration's move to start actively censoring broadcasters. The importance of this song for America today is not in the music or the lyrics, but in the words of Abraham Lincoln's Lyceum Address, echoing through time with a prescient warning for all Americans. 

Lyrics
I hold these truths to be self- evident, let's go

They say this land was made for you and me
Where we got the right to speak even if we got nothin to say
Yeah we're red, white, and blue in the land of the true and the free
But, sister, freedom's just permission if amendments can taketh away

That's why America has always been
And America will always be
And America always is 
A free country for now

She's got American flag lapels on her Sunday dress
Her Bible has a copy of the Constitution in front
She says the Pledge of Allegiance each and every time she prays
Yeah, her lips sing Jesus but her heart screams America

That's why America has always been
And America will always be
And America always is 
A free country for now

Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the sixteenth President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln

At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?-- Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!--All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

That's why America has always been
And America will always be
And America always is 
A free country for now

And America always is 
A free country for now

"A republic, if you can keep it" my ass
Poor Richard Dick Franklin didn't say shit about giving it away

AMERICA

Another war started yesterday
And there's a rumor going round 
That more are on the way
And can you feel the ground 
Begin to shake
If you ask me 
This whole world is bound to break

So if this be Armageddon
Come on let's get it on
Yeah if this be Armageddon
Come on let's get it on
But truth be told
I'm a lot more scared
Than I'm lettin' on

Fire is falling from the skies
And it's landing on the heads
Of children passing by
And can you see the dead
Begin to rise
Ain't no time to wait
'Til you've said your long goodbyes

Cause if this be Armageddon 
Come on let's get it on
Yeah if this be Armageddon
Come on let's get it on
But truth be told
I'm a lot more scared
Than I'm lettin' on

And there's no place to hide
When those horsemen
Saddle up to ride
Take a breath, do your best
Just to abide

And I'll come find you
Waitin' on the other side

Cause if this be Armageddon 
Come on let's get it on
Yeah if this be Armageddon
Come on let's get it on
But truth be told
I'm a lot more scared
Than I'm lettin' on

ARMAGEDDON

Oh no
Don't you wanna
Don't you wanna get a  timeshare
In Miami with me

Oh no
You don't wanna get a timeshare
A timeshare in Miami
Just you and me

Oh please just won't you co-sign
You're credit's so much better than mine
And then you'll have a timeshare
In Miami with me

Oh no
Why don't you wanna timeshare
It's a great investment
For you and for me

Don't worry 'bout the coastline
It probably won't erode that much over time
Just think about the timeshare
In Miami with me

Okay fine
I won't force you to have a good time
A good time in our timeshare
Just you and me

Oh please just won't you co-sign
You're credit's so much better than mine
And then you'll have a timeshare
In Miami with me

We can watch the seas rise
Underneath the pink Floridian skies
And grow old in our timeshare
Two weeks every year

Oh no
