the Beatles do a great rendition of this song but the original is always the best

Meow meow

Born of vomit
Forged by sickness
Bathed with greed
Cleansed with hate
Degradative baptism
By church and state
Clawing my way, gasping and wheezing
Out from the sewers of organic sludge
Light burns my eyes as I gaze above
Stripped of my worth, never succeeding
Confined to my knees bowing to crud
Crushed and abused I've lost myself love
Imprisoned by flesh, a shack not a temple
Worn out by sorrow ugly deformed
Life is based on nothing but scorn
Having no meaning, socially impudent
My love is outside the cultural norm
Caressed by the vomit from which I was born
Drowning...
Drowning in despair
Baptismal fluids
Begin to crust
I am a plague, spawning infecting
Contagious and virulent against the machine
Cursing a life god gave to me
People like me defying your system
Pushing us down so that we all lose
There's more of us than there are of you!!!
Stripped...of...my...worth

Carcinogen - Socially Impudent

Feed us your lies
Fatten us with corporate shit
Fuck us to death
For your profit
Enslave our minds
Force us to convey your thoughts
You make me sick
I can't be bought
Trust...Respect
Unity...Smashed by shitbreath
Use us
Use us for profit
Divide
Divide to conquer
Fuck us
Fuck us for your wealth
Greed lust
Greed lust kills us

Chorus:
Nothing sacred, twist our feelings
Business first, we need the cash
You forget your floors my ceiling
You deserve to sleep in trash
Rip off others with your dealings
Manipulating human greed
Won't support greed or deceiving 
Fuck this selfish industry

No compassion, helping hand
Trust is crushed, understand
Greed molds hate, and mistrust
All for profit, what have you done?!
All that's pure you desecrate
Money and fame is your bait

Carcinogen - Shitbreath

Brain leech
Brain leech you're a part of the system I despise
Brain leech
I feel you itching writhing in my mind
Infesting
Infesting my thoughts making me impure
Deafening echoes
Echoes of your feeding I try to endure

Chorus (2x):
Someone help me
Make it stop, I cannot fight
It's fucking painful
This capitalistic parasite

Feasting on me
Controlling my brain
Gotta do something
Grab a coat hanger
Put it in my head
Cranial abortion
No one helped me
Made it stop on my own
Starved the brain leech
Gouged my head to the bone

Carcinogen - Brain Leech

Crouched beneath the light
I cower from the night
Walls bleed perspiration
Television corporate lies
Mass hypnosis controls the mind
Sewer system lies
On bulletin boards, in our homes
Sewer system drowns
Drowns the mind
Tap into our brains
Make us love when we hate
Sewer system drains...thought
Non exposure
Spoils thought shit unclot
As I stare at my reflection in a river
Of human waste
Sewer my home
All alone I cry...for...help
You can't hear

Carcinogen - Sewer System

Acid rain
Chemical spills
Earthly erosion
Toxic landfills
Destroy the world
Human trash...
Rape mother nature
Human garbage
Bleed dry mankind
Human filth
Writhing in nature
Forcing extinction
Use religion as your crutch
And you call yourselves civilized
Fuck this species
Human waste

Carcinogen - Civilized

From the liner notes of our 2-disc Ebo Taylor retrospective, Life Stories:

Ebo acknowledges the influence of US jazz rockers Blood Sweat & Tears and
– less obviously, perhaps – Deep Purple on this easy going mid-tempo
piece, written a few years before it was recorded, when Osibisa and
various ‘blaxploitation’ themes were hip. “I was trying to fuse rock and jazz together with highlife,” Ebo recalls. “This kind of music was ahead of its time – not very popular when we recorded it!”

DANIELLE PONDER &
KARATE BOOGALOO

“Look Around” ​out July 24, 2020 via ​Hopestreet Recordings​.

New York singer and activist ​Danielle Ponder pairs up with Melbourne cinematic soul outfit ​Karate Boogaloo to deliver ​“Look Around,” a haunting reflection on the times we live in. ​“Look Around” was written in the studio with the band in the first days of 2020 when Danielle was in Melbourne, and at the time was conceived as a cry for help in the literal firestorm that was engulfing Australia. As 2020 progressed, the words that came in that moment of inspiration seemed to reflect each of the multiplying calamities this year has presented. When the death of George Floyd ignited indignation across the USA and the world, the lyrics to Look Around could not have been more apropos.

In Danielle’s words: “fires were raging through Australia and smoke covered the sky. It felt like all of our human sins had gotten the best of us and we were paying a price. I didn’t know that when I arrived back home in the U.S, the world would only get darker. I feel like my past self wrote this song for my future self knowing what was to come.” ​This song would help Danielle through what has been one of the most painful times to be Black in America.

Coming from different continents and different backgrounds was no obstacle to Danielle Ponder and Karate Boogaloo forming an immediate musical connection in the studio. Karate Boogaloo is a formidable studio band with years of studious focus learning soul music and its history. The instant connection is obvious on ​“Look Around”, ​as the band and Danielle sound like they’d been playing together for years rather than hours. Black Lives Matter, while being a US based movement, has a strong resonance in Australia where Indigenous people are massively over-represented in prison populations and in fatal interactions with the police. Thus, sales in July and August are going to be donated to the Equal Justice Initiative in the USA and Warriors Of The Aboriginal Resistance in Australia.
