LAST CHANCE IN KANSAS

A WAYS DOWN THE ROAD WAS A GAS AND GO 
WHERE I WOULD STOP WHEN I WAS LOW
THERE WASN'T A PLACE A HUNDRED MILES OR MORE 
LIKE THAT OLD COUNTRY STORE
          NOW OFF TO THE RIGHT STILL HANGS A SIGN  
          DESPITE THE SAGEBRUSH AND RUST
          AND THE LUMP IN MY THROAT OR THE TEAR IN MY EYE  
          ARE NOT FROM THE WIND AND THE DUST 
                    THE SIGN SAYS:

                    LAST STOP IN KANSAS  
                    LAST STOP ON THE LINE  
                    LAST CHANCE IN KANSAS  
                    NEXT STOP 109.

SHE WORKED IN THAT STORE THROUGH THE YEARS
I WAS DRIVIN' EIGHTEEN GEARS
AND WHEN I'D PULL UP SHE ALWAYS KNEW FROM THE SOUND 
OF FAST FOOTSTEPS ON THE GROUND
          BUT HAPPINESS COMES TO THOSE WHO CAN WAIT  
          AND MONEY'S THE SAME AS TIME
          I NEEDED BOTH TO MAKE OUR ESCAPE
         AND TAKE HER AWAY FROM THE GRIND
                    AT THE: 

                    LAST CHANCE IN KANSAS  
                    LAST STOP ON THE LINE  
                    LAST CHANCE IN KANSAS  
                    NEXT STOP 109.

FINALLY COMIN' DOWN THE ROAD I KNOW LIKE A FRIEND 
TO NEVER LEAVE THAT GIRL AGAIN
I PULLED UP AND MY WORLD TUMBLED DOWN
IN THE SILENCE OF A NEW GHOST TOWN
          AFTER LOOKIN' THROUGH THE POURIN' RAIN
          AT THE LAST CHANCE LEFT THERE TO DIE
           I TURNED MY HEAD THEN SAW STRAIGHT AWAY
          WHAT SHE WROTE ME ON THE BACK OF THE LAST CHANCE SIGN:
                    "THIS WAS YOUR 

                    LAST CHANCE IN KANSAS  
                    LAST STOP ON THE LINE
                    LAST CHANCE IN KANSAS
                    BUT I'LL WAIT FOR YOU 109."

                    THEY CLOSED THE 

                    LAST CHANCE IN KANSAS  
                    LAST STOP ON THE LINE
                    LAST CHANCE IN KANSAS
                    YOU KNOW I FOUND HER 109.

CALM DOWN

Dancin Like A Fool

Malignant

Capitalism

Verse1:
Capitalism the new slavery is alarming
Gives you different goods it gives you money
Makes you think you’re working it’s a lie though
Makes you feel like you’re earning a life though
We don’t have no freedom we is locked up
They take all our time and give us nothing
It’s a wheel they need us to make it work
Fuck capitalism it is so flawed

Counting coins and Pennies in the fountain
They don’t see us just pawns all in the grand scheme

It’s the people at the top that’s getting money
They just give us crumbs that make us happy
We follow their rules like we is servants
System built to keep us very under
You’ve got to work your ass to make the top floor
You stay paying bills so you remain poor
In this age we are still slaves bow to the master
Counting coins and Pennies in the fountain

Chorus:
Are we deserving to reach the sky!? 
We are at the top of the food chain! 
Can we enjoy the beauty what is real!? 
The swamp is choking we are Capitalism.

Verse2:
They keep us on the leash with all the money
They stay taxing up our little money
Same thing with the banks they’re part of it too
I just want to leave this stupid system
Fuck capitalism it is a slavery
They wanna profit off of our labor
They make choices like go get a job huh
Tell a child that he should go to school huh

Chorus:
Are we deserving to reach the sky!? 
Look inside yourself and see the peace! 
Can we enjoy the beauty of the stars!? 
Babylon is ruined so call it - Capitalism

Did you pray today??
