The weight of hate lies
heavy on your shoulders
occupies your mind
as your heart grows colder
it eats at your gut
creeps inside your soul
you will never have no peace
until you let it go

hate is a mighty
heavy burden to bear
you can't pretend
that it ain't there
the weight will drag
you down eventually
until you let it go
you will never be free
until you let it go
you can never

break free
you gotta break free
break free
you gotta break free

the weight of hate lay
heavy on my shoulders
it occupied my mind
made my heart grow colder
it ate at my gut
crept inside my soul
I never could find peace
until I let it go
I never had no peace
until I let it go

break free
you gotta break free
break free
you gotta break free
break free
set yourself free

ONE WAY TO HEAVEN
There’s many ways to get somewhere
Havin’ more than your share
But there’s just one way to Heaven
And I don’t think I’m goin’ there
Sins, I’ve had more than my share
And eating too much Jewish-leaven

There’s many ways to get your thrills
Havin’ more than your fill
But there’s just one way to Heaven
It ain’t chokin’ down pills
It ain’t for the love of frills
And it ain’t eating too much Jewish-leaven
Jewish-leaven!

[Music]

CHORUS
There’s just one way
One way
Just one way to Heaven
Walk the straight and narrow
Shoot straight as an arrow
And in the Book of Life pray like hell that you are

There’s many ways to get somewhere
You don’t need to play fair
But there’s just one way to Heaven
And I don’t think I’m goin’ there
Sins, I’ve had more than my share
And eating too much Jewish-leaven

CHORUS
There’s just one way
One way
Just one way to Heaven
Walk the straight and narrow
Shoot straight as an arrow
And in the Book of Life pray like hell that you are

NOT THE ONLY ONE
[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same

[Verse 1]
‘Cuz deep down I know, if I’m feelin’ it
You’re feelin’ the walls closing in, too
Oh, and I wonder how you’re dealin’ with it
Discerning the falsities from the true

[Verse 2]
Now, I see your broken face up on my screen
From my living room and my heart hurts
Seems in America there’s little grass that’s green
And I hate to think it’s just deserts

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same

Oooooh-oooooh, Ooooooh-oooooh
Oooooh-oooooh, Ooooooh-oooooh

[Verse 3]
And it’s hard to say which one of ‘em is worst
The puppets or those pulling the strings
All I know is that this country is cursed
For the greed of men and shiny things

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad-sad-sad just the same

Oooooh-oooooh, Oooooh-Ooooooh
Oooooh-oooooh, Oooooh-Ooooooh

[Verse 4]
And when I’m feeling I was born too late
As if those who came before us had it better
If we could travel to an earlier state
We’d find ourselves one bird of a feather

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
Oh, I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad, sad just the same
Just the same…Oh, I’m sad-sad-sad just same

I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody is suffering
Tired of playin’ the game..

Ooooooh-ooooooh, Ooooooh-ooooooh
Ooooooh-ooooooh, Ooooooh-ooooooh

THE VEIL HAS BEEN LIFTED
[Chorus]
The veil
The veil has been lifted
The veil
The veil has been lifted 
HalleluYah!

[Verse 1]
The good guys are the bad guys 
Everybody knows
Birds are singing everywhere
The king has no clothes

[Verse 2]
The light on the hill begs to shine 
Preaching the true Gospel
The army of Satan has been exposed
The end of Jewish fables

[Chorus]
The veil
The veil has been lifted
The veil
The veil has been lifted 
HalleluYah!

[Verse 3]
The people are showing their teeth
Taking up their swords
Demanding truth and Justice
Demanding no more wars

[Chorus]
The veil
The veil has been lifted
The veil
The veil has been lifted 
HalleluYah!
HalleluYah!
HalleluYah!
HalleluYah!

[Verse 4]
Now the king has taken ill
Or so, it would seem
There lies a glimmer of hope
See it in the memes

[Chorus]
The veil
The veil has been lifted
The veil
The veil has been lifted 
HalleluYah!
HalleluYah!
HalleluYah!

THE VEIL HAS BEEN LIFTED

Todas as vezes que amei
Todas as cores que pintei
Todas as chances que busquei
Todas as causas que ganhei

E é só você que me importa
Nem o ar profundo me leva tão a fundo
E é só você que me importa
Sob esse sol nascem flores e amores
Um caminho

Todas as vezes que eu chorei
Todas as vezes que meus sonhos foram apenas vindos
Todas as letras que lhe dei
Todas as frases formadas, juntos

E é só você que me importa
Nem o ar profundo me leva tão a fundo
E é só você que me importa
Sob esse sol nascem flores e amores
Um caminho

Um Caminho

POVERTY FOR PROFIT WHORES
You got your section-eight slumlords
Payday loans nobody can afford
IRS tax return skimmers
Corp’rate middleman breadwinners 
Gettin’ rich off the poor, poverty for profit whores

CHORUS
They gotcha payin’ more for a low credit score
Get behind on your bills, get charged more
Gettin’ rich off the poor
Poverty for profit whores

Yeah, they’ll get you by any means
They be keepin’ people on kidney machines
Foster children funds stolen by the state
Privatization schemes at your gate
Gettin’ rich off the poor, poverty for profit whores, oh

CHORUS
Payin’ more for a low credit score
Get behind on your bills, get charged more
Gettin’ rich off the poor
Poverty for Profit whores

[Music/adlib]

Oh, and the bigger the monopolies grow
The higher food prices go
They gotcha financing groceries at the Walmart checkout
Miss one payment the usury leaves you flat-out
Gettin’ rich off the poor, poverty for profit whores

So, when you take a look around the USA
All that poverty is somebody’s payday
And you’re one paycheck from livin’ in your car
Jude stole it all from your, your cookie jar
Gettin’ rich off the poor, poverty for profit whores

CHORUS
Gotcha payin’ more for a low credit score
Get behind on your bills, get f*cked more
Gettin’ rich off the poor
Poverty for profit whores

We gotta eat the rich to save the poor 
We gotta eat the rich to save the poor
Needin’ more pitchforks than never before
Gettin’ rich off the poor, poverty for profit whores
Poverty for profit
Poverty for profit whores
Poverty for profit
Poverty for profit whores
Gettin’ rich off the poor
Poverty For Profit Whores.

And how I wish you were here

IT NEVER RAINS FOREVER
V1
Today, a calm feeling swept over me
In a world of chaos don’t know how it could be
Perhaps it was the guru on the video
Telling me to stack sats and enjoy the show

CHORUS
Things are hard right now
But things will get better
I don’t know exactly how
But it never rains forever

V2
What if there was enough gold to go around?
What if there was no more war to be found?
What if there was no more Left, no more Right?
No more reason to argue and fight

What if there was just one King?
One true and righteous King of kings
I believe He’s with us here and now
Exposing this world’s sacred cow

CHORUS
Things are hard right now
Oh, but things will get better
I don’t know exactly how
But it never rains, never rains forever

BRIDGE
Empires rise, empires fall
Ages come, ages go
These are incredible times
New seeds to sow, whoa-whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa……
……..whoa-whoa, whoa

CHORUS/TAG
Things are hard, hard right now
But things will get better, yeah-ee-yeh
I don’t know exactly how
But it never rains forever
Things will get better, yeah
You gotta believe
Things always get better, whoa-whoa, whoa..

I don’t know exactly how but things will get better, yeah, whoa-whoa

Today, a calm feeling swept over me
In a world of chaos don’t know how it could be…whoa-whoa

IT NEVER RAINS FOREVER

just thinking out loud fantasizing how to solve the gun violence next door...
Wish there were such magnets and vacuums to clean things up

sound clips are from a Breaking Bad episode  about such magnets..........

    The Anger, the Gun and the Magnet Machine

Last night I had a dream where I figured out a way
A gun removal machine, I sailed it to the USA
To that land of politico platitudes, prayers and lies

It had a big-ass magnet with a vacuum connector 
Powerful suction plus an anger detector
I went to work, street by street, house by house, high-rise by high-rise

Get out of my way, I'd say
Got this job to do today
If you be Anger with a gun
Your hateful days are done
I'm coming for you
I'm the People’s Pest Control
I'll cart away your blackened soul
Your anger and your guns
I'll scrunch them into one
Dispose of all the dark you do

Lots of people cheered me on, pushed my magnet machine
Through their schools, through their churches
I cleared the wicked and mean
But got stopped by a crowd screaming ‘bout the Constitution 

They said, “ Hey Buddy desist, we got this lawsuit for you.
Flushing away our firearms, it just won't do”
As they surrounded my contraption, demanding restitution 

Get out of our way, they say
Nation nurtured by the NRA
Feel the anger, feel our gun
We want you to have one
It's Amendment Number 2
My magnetic disarrayer
With vacuum jet disintegrater 
That rids the anger and the gun
Replaces fear with schoolyard fun
Now made impossible to do

Last night while I was dreaming, on the TV screen
More heartbreaking Breaking News, there ain't no magnet machine 
Only questions, many tears and sad goodbyes

Every month, every week, it's the same old shit
We need to plug in, power up and retrofit
A solution to stop this need to weaponize

Get out of the way I say
Is this the way it has to be today?
Anger's got his gun
We better cut and run
What else we gonna do
Uncommon sense, remote control
Gaping wounds and bullet holes
Check the anger, lose that gun
My illusion come undone 
I've only words to stick to you

The Weight of Hate
