I want change to happen
I want Social justice
I want Service Programs
No don't drink that wine.
So many huge decisions
Are made in corporate board rooms
What about the streets of our city?
Will we drink that wine? Will we trust those who know
Will we venture out in faith, Confess what we don't know
In a perfect world things are rarely what they seem
Reality could be a dream
Who will we listen ...
Bite the hand
The hand that feeds you, needs you
Greeds you, bleeds you
Grieves you, leaves you
Greets you, eats you
Bite the???
They want what's best for you
They would never hurt you
You could never understand
In ignorance you bite the hand
Hand that supplies you, denies you
Relieves you, deceives you
Excites you, unites you
Violates you, sedates you
Bite the???
You believe? Man what a joke
There is nothing I can't see
My reality is my own creation
And standing in the center is me
Backup Lookout Step aside
The decision maker is coming through
On my road to pleasure and self
I'll crush your bones, I'll step on you
We are not in control of this world
I stand or fall, I live and breathe
By the choices I have made
I stand on the shoulders of no man
And st...
The ideal for the practical
The exchange: freedom for truth
The path you set out on...
Someone will finish it
But it will not be you
Why don't you fly? Why aren't you alive?
'Cause you're a Dead Duck
You dug the hole that you've fallen into
Your lost hopes and Broken Dreams
Fallen away, should have fallen asleep
Dark is your path, can't see what stumbles your feet
Seduced by the times you who ...
I am an experiment
You are an experiment
We are all experiments
Denial of Oppression, Justified Aggression
Imperial Invasion, Nuclear Destruction
Rugged Individualism, Ethnocentrism
Blatant Consumerism, Blind Nationalism
Corporate Globalization, Juvenile Fornication
Warehouse of Corrections, Irrelevant Religion
Rhetoric of Revolution, Economic Concentration

Freedom is a luxury you can't afford
When you're working minimum wage at the corner store
When little children are preyed on in their own homes
When you're working at the factory
Making parts for your radio
Freedom is a luxury
Freedom is a luxury you can't afford
When you've walked all day and your feet are sore
When it's five miles to the next grocery store
When you're slaving over 40 hrs
Sla...
See genetics singing out
The face of this race
The work of creation shouting out
Do you see the same or do you see
What's unique
With the Flesh, the Blood, the Bones,
Here come the clones
With all their garbage, with all their splendor
The breath of the spirit
We can never render
No blade identical, no heart impermeable
How can you manufacture the holy spirit
Father bring life to Blood, to Bon...
Injustice runs rampant in society
You can even find it in our own pretty democracy
Run???Well no
Or hide in a 9 to 5 and don't care to know
Impoverished and homeless don't have a choice
Well, why should they? The money took their voice
And it flows???
Only prepare at the next media scare...
Turn the TV on and tune out the sun
Opinions decisions seem so black and white
When we allow the media t...
Left to negotiate with no sense of knowing
When freedom over truth has triumphed
Free to be lost and disconnected
Given as much value as free things often are
Keep me close to you. Don't let me be alone
Discarded but not overthrown
I'm useless, yes it's true
Keep me, fresh and new. Don't make me obsolete
I still have hands to wash your feet
My uselessness is you
I could be worth my weight in l...
Lounging back in their golden chairs
Plastic smiles surrounded by their plastic hair
Tiny microphone in his swollen hand
Screeching out their praises up to Bula Land
He can't wait to die
A crowd of zombies listen as they wail and cheer
He's likely to expire in another year
Rejoice hallelujah, I want to die
I wanna see what happens in the blink of an eye
Overweight southern drawl, dissonant voi...
Everywhere around us someone's got something to say
Isolated outbursts but nothing goes away
Everyday you hear the words of destruction and fear
Always spreading our opinions
Without the willingness to hear
All this noise about nothing, drowning the meaning of it all
Outside this oral defecation the world is an empty stall
quot;Injustice over here Hatred over therequot;
Talk talk talk but the ...
Riots in the streets
Riots for revolution
People on their knees
Praying for revolution
Children overseas
Fighting for revolution
Soldiers cut and bleed
Dying for revolution
Waiting for revolution
To come
Politicians and priests
Fathers of revolution
Businessmen and beasts
Fathers of revolution
The hungry cry and plead
Pleading for redistribution
Change for all in need
Much needed revolution
Wa...
Why do you think the way you???
Why do you act the way you???
Why do you believe what you say that you believe?
Torn apart between two worlds we stand on the outside
Bringing up the rear we come like lambs condemned to die
Can we ever truly separate the truth we strive to know
From the history behind us and the lies that we've been told?
Soldiers are lined up baptized heading off to war
In the...
