Robbery is redemption Apartheid is freedom Peace activists are terrorists Murder is self-defense Piracy legal Palestinians are Jordanians Annexation not liberation hide the truth in the state of the nation promises are meaningless When you find yourself crawling under the fence Banksters are heros Humans are zeros Nothing in this world makes any sense Defense is offense Revolution submission Politicians are businessmen Annexation not liberation hide the truth in the state of the nation promises are meaningless When you find yourself crawling under the fence Freud promised rational would reign supreme institutional passions of a normal human being But he never met a greedy bankster man who said that god invented paper money and the fed - whew! Annexation not liberation hide the truth is state of the nation promises are meaningless When you find yourself crawling under the fence

Dirty Pitchers 02:49
lyrics

We’re not alone cause the tele’s on We’re not screwy cause we take the right pills We slam our conscience with a swig of ale We clear our thoughts with a drag on a pipe We numb our brains while they inflict the harm Global net scum invade our farms Looking for answers from the riffraff in charge Getting cleaned out makes you wanna shout We keep buying from the dirty pitchers Paying the man while our head is down And we keep buying man we keep buying So we pulled our song from the picket line or was it the Facebook parade? We bled the hate and war from our hearts only to find the scam in yours We’re not alone cause tele’s on We’re not screwy cause we take the right pills We slam our conscience with a swig of ale Same old story it's a long lost tale We keep buying from the dirty pitchers Paying the man while our head is down Media lying people are crying World is dying and you're not trying We keep buying from the dirty pitchers Paying the man while our head is down The people are lying people are crying World is dying and you're not trying We keep trying dirty pitchers Keep keep lying (dirty pitchers) But we keep buying from those dirty pitchers Ohhhh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ohhhhh

In Gaza City on Party Avenue They gotta bomb and it's dropping on you In Gaza City on a transit line Freedom on parole and it ain't looking fine In Gaza City on Party Avenue They gotta bomb and it's coming at you In Gaza City on a transit line They put you on hold and it ain't looking fine Sing you a song it's the Holy Lands turn Two thousand nine freedom fighters gonna burn Garbage-Fundi-Men don't care for peace or rock n' roll It's five o'clock in Rafah and this bomb's about to blow Halla got Falafel in a nightmare zone Then got vandalized on her cheap cell phone Crying to the people won't you leave me alone They makin' war in graveyards on the peacemakers bones When they see your car at the Hammas mans House It seems like a movie 'bout it ain't no cat and mouse It's a living hell for all the kids on the ground. The dead and dying souls and the stench is what they found. Moneychangers Cash an stealing the loot While you and me an the people get the boot Bombs a dropping fast boom away they go Christians, Jews and Moslems say Bingo! Ringo! Way to Go! Yusef ran for cover from this human crime but the bombs keep dropping and he's got no time

Yo,Yo yo wake up texters, listen in Uncle Sam's after more boogeymen Dubya left Barack in a jam Way over in Afghanistan So drop dat i-Phone get a gun We're gonna have a whole lotta fun And it's one, two, three, four What are we fighting for? Not freedom or our fellow man Next stop Afghanistan And it's five, six, seven, eight Open up those pearly gates cause there ain't no need to wonder why For oil we're all gonna die. Now come McChrystal let's move fast Your big chance has come at last Gotta kill all those towel heads Though muslims ain’t who we should dread Our robber barons now they're the ones Who blew the Towers to kingdom come. Huh! Well come on Wall Street Don't move so slow Since 9-1-1 it's go-go-go. There's plenty money to be made Supply both sides with tools of da trade. Just hope if they grab a bomb, They drop it on Dick Cheney's lawn Well come on mothers throughout the land Send your child to Afghanistan. Come on fathers, don't hesitate, Send 'em off before it's too late. Be the first one on your block To have your kid come home in a box. Wave ba ba ba bye to the bus Like Strummer said you're one of us Cold water in your face Brings to you back to this awful place Wave bye bye yeah wave bye bye News flash Its' all for cash

The Occupation 07:12

Your trail of tears Mark through your years Making enemies of men Your blood runs red You find your children dead It's hell on earth to fight in the street They build a wall It's 2000 feet tall As if Berlin had never been Where's is the law Deals made at the casbah Your brother is selling you out The occupation Just a segregation Humiliation Is this the nation That you cry for A confiscation Your exploitation Obliteration No-Self-Determination Rachel Corrie Hero death or glory Do you even know her name? She sacrificed then gave up her life In the battle of the home bulldozers If God had mercy Then what the heck’s the hurry Can't they see she's just a young kid Are they insane Now we know their name It's Mister I Hate Humanity The occupation Just a segregation Humiliation Is this the nation That you cry for A confiscation Your exploitation Obliteration No-Self-Determination Self-determination is the free choice of men With the power to decide how you want to live again It's the right of the people of a nation to be governed As they please without the influence of another They stole your land Now you understand How the art of war has been played But it's too late 60 years of hate Has left with you a rock in your hand But they got bombs And the soccer moms You know they got a gun to your head What can you do This coke is for you And no one will ever be free The occupation Just a segregation Humiliation Is this the nation That you cry for A confiscation Your exploitation Obliteration Who will fight for The liberation what's the explanation Capitulation Cause you know that Our generation An Obama-nation With a fixation On the world of Globalization A complication For self-determination la la la la la la

War, what was it good for? What was the sacred cause? The enemies we fought are now our friends. What was it for? Why we weren’t friends before? What was it for? Oh yeah, what was it for? War no more, war never again War no more, war never again War no more, war never again No more war, war never again! How could I let him go? What was the lie I believed? The enemies we killed were just like you and me Now the evening breeze drives candles to the edge of the water For those we've loved and lost, lover, son, and daughter… What is more sacred than your son? Your only son! Another family grieves money prophets on the run (ya hear me Cheney)

We must be careful what we project The law of attraction is always in check Bringing us what we think Extremists at the gate hey don’t blink Cause what we think is what we bring When we kiss the lies on a radical ring And we think murder is moral thing It only makes us forget..... That we're all Human Beings We're all Human Beings We're all Human Beings We're all Human Beings When we can't condemn an attack on the sea On protestors just like you and me Cause a talking head will say on TV That the bad guy is the man on his knees So the shipmates defend with sticks and stones While the pirates shoot with bullets on bones And the death toll rises while we go home It only makes us forget That we're all Human Beings We're all Human Beings We're all Human Beings We're all Human Beings Madison Avenue overdrive Lobbyists pay to tell the lies Beltway people speak nothing but jive While taxpayers try to stay alive And the shipmates defend with sticks and stones Where's my president get him on the phone And the death toll rises and he's not home It only makes us forget That we're all Human Beings We're all Human Beings We're all Human Beings We're all Human Beings

9/11 TRUTH ROCK On that September day While the world was sleepin' New york was screamin' What the hell is going on? On that September day The only thing we heard Was the crash heard round the world Will we ever be the same? will we ever be the same? The same? On that September day Many lives were lost That can't be replaced They calculate the cost Will we ever be the same? I don't think so I don't think so Illuminate yourself It's time To know the human farm Is to escape the human farm 9/11 truth Looking back on that September day The more I grow and see the American ways The more I see what the games they play On the nations of the world Take a stand give 9/11 truth a helping hand Take a stand get your head out of the sand Illuminate yourself and see what WTC is all about Listen to the truthers when they scream and shout Talk about murder talk about treason They do it for a very good reason The greatest crime of our time Done by the filthy slime Ask those leaders of the nation Why they have no legitimate explanation Ask those leaders of the nation Why no criminal investigation So take a stand take 9/11 Truth from the man Take a stand get your head out of the sand Illuminate yourself, Scream! What could that be? Controlled demolitions for the whole world to see Building 7 came down Later that day No plane hit it That's what everybody wants to say 47 stories tall Before it took the fall The media forgot about it Then they dropped the ball What’s most surprising was the highjacker’s DNA It survived that crash to see another day But those steel titanium engines They didn’t make it They disintegrated They didn’t find one bit There's a lot more to say about that terrible day But hey don't believe me I'm just the singer here Besides I just want to get a cold beer So get some 9/11 truth Find out Future's at stake Come on now! Take a stand Take a stand Is Your head buried in the sand? Well we're not finished with all this shit We still haven't talked about the pentagon hit The jet plane that caused all the destruction Terrorist pilot with little instruction How could that be? Take a stand Get your head out of the sand Don't forget about flight 93 It crashed in Shanksville That's where it's supposed to be But wait a minute They found debris 8 miles away It must of been a strong wind that carried it away Take a stand Take a stand Take a stand 9/11 truth It's time
