For people that love politics more than their neighbor.

Long, Long Gone

You fight for the men 
That sit high on the hill
As they bury your future
In papers and bills
Jes’ smilin’ and winkin’
Between crooked teeth
And then they're long, long, gone
Oh yeah, they're long, long, gone
Well, they are long, long, gone

So you sleep in their jersey
Play in their games
They mock your obedience
As you crawl through the flames
Just pray and have faith
In their jaundiced beliefs
But they're long, long, gone
Yes, they're long, long, gone
They’re just long, long, gone

(Bridge)

They tell ya “Cut down your neighbor
Get in his face
What made him think
He had somethin' to say
And at the end of it all
You'll share the same grave
You'll be long, long, gone
Yes, you'll be long, long, gone
Oh, you'll be long, long, gone

Oh, they promised you silver
For hoarding their gold
But your life isn't worth
The cards that they hold
A slave who won't realize
He’s been bought and sold
You are long, long, gone
Yes, you're long, long, gone
You are long, long, gone

Go ‘head and cut down your neighbor
Spit in his face
Well, what made him think
He could have somethin' to say
And at the end of it all
We’ll share the same grave
We'll all be long, long, gone
Yes, we'll be long, long, gone
We’ll all be long, long, gone


20140704 Long, Long Gone - Moonshine Techno Remix

This song is for people that hate fascism...until they're in charge.

Not The One

You dip your sponge in vinegar
And press it to their lips.
Then you try to hold them captive 
With your prison politics

You curse those with a blacklist 
Then you hiss, "You'd better fit!
Bow down your head. 
Kiss the ring.
We are everything that is."

The clouds that all surround you now
Are menacing and fierce
You claim to love the least of these
Well, look whose side you've pierced

Your business is in envy now
You trade on all their fears
When accounts are finally settled
The price you pay will be severe. (Chorus)

Well, I ain't trying to convince you
Ain't trying to make you quit
But I ain’t buyin what you’re sellin’
This low-down counterfeit
And I won’t fall right in behind you
Just to kiss deceitful lips
I'll never bow
My head beneath 
Your fascist master's whip

Well, you've finally got it figured out
But you've known it all along
“How do these people even breathe?
How have they lived so long?”

Your arrogance floats high and fast
Your ego stands so strong
That you've never once imagined
All this right could be so wrong

With a comedy of genius 
And the confidence of fools
This effluence you represent
You cradle it like jewels

So blessed to have the brains it takes
To make up all the rules
There'll be no discharge of the debt
This sickness has accrued. (Chorus)


There’s a judgment day a-comin’
Down the hill, it’s movin’ fast
This kingdom you’ve created
Is gonna crumble down at last

And that rumbling thunder underground
Is a train tearin’ up the tracks
The engineer is shoveling coal
And he ain’t turnin’ back

Feel the cold wind on your shoulder
And the greying of your hair
See the anger of the multitudes
Who know that it’s not fair

That voice you hear out in the dark
When you look and no one's there
On that hazy day you breathe your last
You’ll hear it everywhere. (Chorus)



20140912 Not The One

I was leaning like a tree
on the hills of Monterey
Just doing all I could to face the wind
Reaching down, holding on
halfway sane and halfway gone
Not sure that I could ever try again

Then you flew between the leaves
Settled on a branch so deep
A place that no one else had ever been before
I confessed to bein' nervous
But you got right down to work and
Built a little birdhouse in my soul

Chorus
You built a little birdhouse in my soul,
You built a little birdhouse in my soul, 
When I see you I get happy,
Feel like I'm 5 years old,
With that pretty little birdhouse in my soul.

The branches there were cold and kinda rough
From years of being covered up with stuff
Those other birds were just passin' through
None of them held a light to you
Or that pretty little birdhouse in my soul.

Chorus

You painted and you polished it real good
You put a brand new shine upon my hood
I don't know where I would be
If you hadn't come along and saved me...
And built that little birdhouse in my soul.
