The first verse is about my own early employment experience. Second an interpretation of business as usual. Third frustration in the acceptance of the status quo. The chorus on what influences the decisions we make.

ForLoveOrMoney

The scene starts with the ones that toil in the field
their sweat is the lube used to grease the wheel
the spoils returned make the big man rich
but the ones in the field are left diggin’ in the ditch

One way or another
with a wink of an eye
when alls said an done
and we all know why
push comes to shove
time to make up your mind
will it be 
for love or money
love or money

Hey not so fast, you can hear the big man say
their paid a decent wage and their free to go their way
But it’s just enough to see them through to work another day 
It’s a steal of a deal coming straight out of your pay

One way or another
and it ani’t no lie
when alls said an done
enough to make you cry
push comes to shove
time to make up your mind
will it be 
for love or money
love or money

¯\_(ツ)_/¯  yeah ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  solo

ooh-ooh-ahh-ah
ooh-ooh-ahh-ah

Damn the indifference, damn the apathy
damn us all accepting its the way its gotta to be
How much longer till we end this malady
and the walls come tumbling down

One way or another
with a wink of an eye
when alls said an done
and we all know why
push comes to shove
time to make up your mind
will it be 
for love or money
love or money
love or money

ooh-ooh-ahh-ah
ooh-ooh-ahh-ah

StateOfGrace

I went down  to the corner market
To talk to the local prophet
He said $   12.50 please will that be cash or charge

Went home to my one room kingdom
To drink of the liquid wisdom
And let the spirit take the pain away
Take me far away to a better place
Take me back 
To a State of Grace

You know sometimes I’m feeling up 
Sometimes I feel a little down yea
Just trying to get ahead
But I just keep going round and round

Called in to the Tex Mex Shamen 
He said yea man keep on rocking
So I practice my licks till I feel in my finger tips

Let the spirit take the pain away
Take me back
To a State of Grace

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Solo¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

You know sometimes I’m feeling up 
Sometimes I feel a little down yea
Just trying to get ahead
But I just keep going round and round

So I search out the online gurus
To yourself they said to be true
The more you know the more that you will grow
And so it goes

Let the spirit take the pain away
Take me far away to a better place
Take me back 
To a State of Grace
To a better place
To a State of Grace

StateOfGrace 3

Forcément je ressors cette chanson vu que tout le monde n'a pas compris....

Re voici SuperMegalo!
(Translated in english below)
-----

Je vis en haut
D'un monde tout en couleur
Dans un réseau
Mais c'est sans l'ascenseur

Dieu que c'est beau
Tout pousse comme des fleurs
Dans des enclos
On fait gober des leurres

Rien n'est trop gros
Quand ça passe au 20h
Je fais l'info
En dépit des valeurs

Parfois c'est chaud
De leur faire croire au bonheur
Mais c'est mon lot :
Je suis un bienfaiteur

Pour lever les foules,
Flattez tous ces fous
Désignez l'ennemi,
Et divisez,
Et divisez,
Et recommencer

L'autre et le déni
Comme unique cri
Tout pour éviter
De changer tout,
De changer nous,
De vivre autrement

We talk about the real world
It's not a dream road
And you and I both know
That's just the way it is now

J'ai fait du fric
Mais ça ne m'amuse plus
La politique
C'est bien au dessus

Le réchauffement,
Je le tourne en ridicule
Les immigrants,
C'est bon, j'ai la formule

J'ai l'attention
On reprend tous mes tweets
Quelle jubilation
D'enchaîner les hits !

Je crache du sang
A des foules en délire
Montrer les dents
C'est le truc pour me faire élire

L'autre et le déni
Comme unique cri
Tout pour éviter
De changer tout,
De changer nous,
De vivre autrement

We talk about the real world
It's not a dream road
And you and I both know
That's just the way it is now
We talk about the real world
It's not a dream road
We talk about a real world
It's not a dream road

-----

I live on top
Of a colourful world
In a network
But it's without the lift

God it's beautiful
Everything grows like flowers
In enclosures
We make them swallow lures

Nothing is too big
When it's on the evening show
I make the news
In spite of the values

Sometimes it's hard
To make them believe in happiness
But that's my lot:
I'm a benefactor

To lift the crowds,
Flatter all those fools
Point out the enemy,
And divide,
And divide,
And do it again

The other and the denial
As the only speech
Anything to avoid
To change everything,
To change ourselves,
To live differently

We talk about the real world
It's not a dream road
And you and I both know
That's just the way it is now

I've made money
But I'm not having fun anymore
Politics
It's way above

Global warming,
I make a mockery of it
Immigrants,
I've got the formula

I've got the attention
All my tweets are repeated
What a thrill it is
To have a string of hits!

I spit blood
To crowds of people going wild
Showing my teeth
That's the trick to getting elected

The lines refer to "Philoctetes“ (409), a Greek tragedy by Sophocles (496 - 405 B.C.), they are taken (and put into modified form) from a drama of the same title  by Heiner Müller (1929-1995), published 1965. Mainly it is Ulysses speaking to Neoptolemos (The son of Achilles) in order to conspire against the bowman Philoctetes…

The picture shows a detail of „The Wounded Philoctetes“, a painting by Nicolai Abildgaard, 1775

This is how far we have gone 
In the matter (4)
Into the nets
Of our own and others’ steps
That there is no way out
But just the farther

REF 
What we show here has no morals
You can’t learn anything from life with us,
And, 
If you want to pass,
You can leave now
You can leave…
You can leave now…

Bridge
Oh, you have two eyes…
Please, show me my face

Easily with twisted tongue
You catch him
Easily we drag him
To the ship -
In this trade 
You are not the first one
Who does, 
What he does’nt want to…
We did it before you 
We did that before…

TRICKERY（Collabo with Xian3,BP) Pre release for Bandcamp

the red wine is goin' to my head 
and i ought be goin' off to bed
but i'm dreamin' still of 
great things to come 
thinkin' about the time when we'll be 
free from

'n i'm thinking about time 
you were feelin' right
the rain went over your head 
'n left you petrified 
as soon as the winds had called 
to shout out loud 
your new name 
it's hard to see when your shadows nearly fade

can you wake from this one this time

do you remember when we 
were up north ridin' with psychopaths 
oh they carried bottles of blackened 
whatever it was 
they were whacked 
we were there with them a while trapped trapped on
do you reckon we made it thru that night 
just to get back to time 
sweet time

it doesn't figure out
what is

head in the clouds

( for Nadine )

jesus: rhythm, lyrics, vocals
Scotty: lead, harmonica, tambourine 

if i broke your heart
i'd break it slow and sure
i'd send flowers filled with bees
and i'd break it tenderly
i'd send you letters, long
full of tender poetry
if i broke your heart, maybe
you would see

i loved you all along
the seaside and the shore,
like the waves that break upon the love 
that you endure
like autumn leaves that fall
on the grass , no longer sweet
i'd keep you all alone
to wonder, how to sleep

your dreams all full of hope
that we would meet again
up on that road, down by the riverbend
we'd never ever awake
and i would sing to you
if i broke your heart
i'd keep it with me too

If I Broke Your Heart (jesus vegas/QB Bills)

Doctor I rarely say what I have said
I look straight at the sky
Doctor my mind is blocked by my regrets
I assume the end is nigh

CHORUS
I'm inexplicably good
But with a leaning for bad
Its mad
I'm afraid you've all been had
I've written everything down
But all the pages are clear
Oh dear
Its worse than I had feared

Doctor there's many a thing I should confess
I should do but I shan't
Doctor I understand you're not impressed
I want to but I can't

CHORUS

Doctor my name is on the growing list
To which the gates are shut
Doctor I'm signing off and won't exist
The signature in blood

CHORUS

Doctor

I used to do this song in another life when I did stand up comedy many years ago and it would get laughs.  Hopefully that's still the case today.

Long Haired Skinny Guys

Hypothesis from magazines
I just assumed its in my genes
When I am pumping blood from every pore
Tainted teardrops in the eye
This is not yet the year to die
As I am rotting slowly to the core

CHORUS
This slow deterioration
Its invisible to most but I'm not giving up the ghost yet

Every waking aches that bit more
Every breath is more of a draw
Running slow but the gate is closing fast
There's a tale in each age line
I think I've twice as much in mine
That's a fact with such tormented past

CHORUS

Hypothesis from magazines
There's no time to wonder what it means
I just assumed its in my genes
But then life rarely is all that it seems

CHORUS

Deterioration

Prolific musician, author, photographer and oddity.  With influences ranging from the lofi pop of Guided by Voices, the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, the glam of Bowie and the nakedness of Iggy Pop - this is Marc Freak.  Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe.  An experiment in DIY and lofi.  The odd bum note here, the even odder bum note there.  But with art do we care?
