Don’t care about the Bob Dylan you quote
Books you’ve read or poems you wrote
I see suffering I see no hope
The times have never changed
That’s what drove Phil Ochs insane
The times have never changed
Protest songs of ’67
Against a war you never ended
All that posing and pretending
The times have never changed
That’s what drove Phil Ochs insane
The times have never changed
The more things change
The more they stay the same
Happens time and time and time again
All I know for sure is we have endless, endless war
The times have never changed
One thing I don’t understand
From Iraq to Afghanistan
It just keeps happening again and again
The times have never changed
That’s what drove Phil Ochs insane
The times have never changed

Wage Slave
01:33
|

|
Wage! Slave!
I'm getting hungry and they're raising my rent
I got my paycheque but it's already spent
My hands are tied because they're clocking my time
Selling my life away for nickels and dimes
I'm a wage slave
Nothing more
Wage slave
Working poor
Wage! Slave!
From bull to bear the economy's crashed
That's why they can't pay us any more cash
Hard to get by on this minimum wage
Indentured life I can't escape

Can't Take It

On the right
On the right
They're talking like there's no tomorrow
Hard headed headlines and snub-nosed sound bites
On the right
On the right
Divisive and disconnected
Play us with wedge politics
Thought locked down tight
We've got no real choices
We've got no real voices
It's all the same oh-woah-oh
Nothing gets changed
Just gets rearranged
1234
I can't take it anymore
On the left
On the left
They're talking like there's no tomorrow
Pointing fingers and wasting their time
On the left
On the left
Disorganized and ineffective
Too busy splitting hairs to change any hearts or minds
We've got no real choices
We've got no real voices
It's all the same oh-woah-oh
Nothing gets changed
Just gets rearranged
1234
I can't take it anymore

Meat Of The Matter
01:57
|
|||
|
Have you ever had pain, so much you want to die?
But there was no one who’s gonna hear you cry
In a place where life’s redefined
Leaving morality behind
Inhumane slaughter
It’s the meat of the matter
Compassion we’re after
Don’t take the status quo, don’t take the easy path
Road less traveled can have much more impact
Powerful ethics enrich our existence
Happily expanding our life’s narrative
Inhumane slaughter
It’s the meat of the matter
Compassion we’re after
We expect better
Horrible disaster
Gotta stand together
Advocate
Have to make it better
Animals matters
Gotta stand together
Advocate
Inhumane slaughter
It’s the meat of the matter
Compassion we’re after
In a world that doesn’t care
Doesn’t care at all

One Last Struggle
02:37
|
|||
|
It’s happening again
Our bleeding hearts are overflowing
Spilling out into the streets
You tell me one more time
No one can change the world
That’s exactly what they say
Every time we come close to overthrowing
All our despair they hope to shatter our dream of global unity
No one is free until everyone is free
To liberate a world oppressed all we really need is
One more movement by the people
One last struggle for the world
Let this be a movement without borders – without nationality
A revolution without gender – without sexuality
A struggle for all people all races all ethnicities
No segregation – liberation without triumph in defeat

Invincible

The day we met I knew
I’d never forget you
Invincible yeah
True in your word and deed
You changed the world for me
Invincible yeah
You will go on - you’re invincible
Inspired, loving and principled
Your voice lives on and I’ll sing along
But I’ll miss you
You are a driving force
For us to stay the course
Invincible yeah
And every word you sang
Will now forever ring
Invincible yeah
You will go on - you’re invincible
Inspired, loving and principled
Your voice lives on and I’ll sing along
But I’ll miss you
The day we met I knew
I’d never forget you
Invincible yeah
But now that you are gone
You’ll live in every song
Invincible yeah

Failure Of Character

Failure of Character
Words mean nothing and promises are broken the lessons are clear
Failure of Character
Words mean nothing and promises are broken the lessons are clear
Bargained in good faith – what a mistake
We were betrayed
Gave us your word – made an accord
Agreement in place
Promise to reduce – a trust to abuse
Record of deceit
Breach of trust – like the rust
That cuts so deep
Failure of Character
Words mean nothing and promises are broken the lessons are clear
Failure of Character
Words mean nothing and promises are broken the lessons are clear
Party hacks –grind the axe
Or leave in disgust
Economy – that you lead
From boom to bust
We abide – your cheating side
We can’t escape
So it’s no surprise – all your lies
We approbate

Holding Up Half The Sky
02:08
|
|||
|
Fighting for equality
Struggling for an opportunity
Violence and oppression
Can’t stop her liberation
Stereotypes of sexuality
Leading to misogyny
Now has come the time
Stop believing all the lies
See her eye to eye
While she’s holding up half the sky
Time to be heard above the noise
Time for men to lend a voice
Stand and fight for equal rights
It’s your body - it’s your choice
Gender bias in the justice system
Placing blame upon the victim
We all know who’s at fault
For the harassment and assaults
Prisoners in an economic cage
Equal work means an equal wage
Now has come the time
Stop believing all the lies
See her eye to eye
While she’s holding up half the sky
It’s time we all gave a fuck
Support your local Janey Canuck

Blood Drunk

Blood drunk serial killer
Tortuous and bitter
In his name, in his honour
Genocide and slaughter
This god is dead
So fucked up in the head
This god is dead
Think for yourself instead
Unrelenting violence
Children smashed to pieces
What is brutal and senseless
Is divine and righteous
He never came in peace he came but as a sword
To cast a fire on earth is what he promised, what he swore
Turn son against father, divide families is his word
Father son and holy ghost, this is your lord

Red Light Union

Union! Union! Ooooohhh!
Criminalized and ostracized
No respect for the lives of the working girls
Trivialized and left to die
No respect for the lives of the working girls
No one is safe tonight
No respect for the lives of the working girls
We need to make it right
And show respect for the lives of the working girls
Culture of fear
Culture of hate
Proliferating violence
Legislating rape
Union! Union! Ooooohhh!
Marginalized and stigmatized
No respect for the lives of the working girls
Pathologized and cast aside
No respect for the lives of the working girls
3rd class citizens
No respect for the lives of the working girls
Hostile work conditions
Show some respect for the lives of the working girls
Culture of fear
Culture of hate
Proliferating violence
Legislating rape
Union! Union! Ooooohhh

Raise Your Flag
02:18
|

|
Raise your flag, Raise it high
Let them look you in the eye
Side by side
Show your pride
Wave your flag, wave your flag
Raise your flag, Raise it high
And when they look you in the eye
Wave your flag, wave your flag, wave your flag
Double standards of the hypocrites
They condescend as you bite your lip
You’re in my heart
You’re on my mind
You don’t have to take that shit
On the horizon is a new frontier
If you feel alone or you’re getting scared
With all your spirit
And all your soul
You know there is nothing to fear
Sing if you’re glad to be gay
Homophobes are just a dying breed
As they cling to an illegitimate creed
You’re in my heart
You’re on my mind
They offer nothing that you can believe
All their hate they never take a rest
Stunning ignorance takes away your breath
With all your spirit
And all your soul
Resolve that you’ll never forget
To sing if you’re happy that way

Turn It Down
02:00
|
|||
|
White noise
In stereo sound
Nothing sounds worse
Need to turn it down
Turn it down
Feeble minds cling to misguided fears
Forcing their nonsense
Into naïve ears
Turn it down
Mouth full of hate
Head full of shit
Bigots pandering to idiots
Turn it down
Your out of touch
Get with the times
Turn it around
And leave your hate behind
Turn it down

Set Us Up
02:49
|
|||
|
Dead eyes with a cold blank stare
Black heart doesn’t feel or care
Driven only by market share and a need to survive
Figure heads full of shit and lies
When are we gonna realize
We don’t have any rights if we don’t organize
Set us up, set us up just to knock us down
Gotta run, gotta run run you out of town
Gotta gotta gotta gotta get rid of you
There’s only one thing left to do
Gotta gotta gotta gotta get rid of you
Profits first and people last
Take advantage of the working class
Hysteria created en masse to conquer and divide
Lapdog with authority
A governing minority
Save money through austerity so viscous and bile
Some day we’ll finally see
Damage and depravity
We’ll drag you through the streets as you beg for mercy
In the rubble and the decay
As your system fades away
We’ll rebuild the ash and clay in solidarity

National Security
02:48
|
|||
|
Don’t use me, I’m no toy soldier
Find yourself a mercenary
Killings on the open market
Buy yourself some loyalty
We all get burned when you play with fire
Run the world from your control cage
I’ve heard this story all before
Armageddon on the front page
Calling all the ships at sea – national security
All brave men and heroes to be - national security
From the western wall down to the east - national security
The dogs of war have been released
Your tongues are full of double talk
You make enemies every day
Your head is just as hard as rock
We’re all gonna to die the American way
Firepower now you think you’ve won
You’ll make no change on the battlefield
Will you commit my suicide
There’s no such thing as a friendly gun
I’ll fight them when they’re at my door
The enemies here but he’s called a friend
A trigger happy policy
Have to see the game to it’s end

Shock And Awe
02:08
|
|||
|
They crack our heads when we take to the streets
Force us in cubicles to chase their "dreams"
Disinformation in daily supply
Erase the ones that they can't keep in line
Shock and Awe
Shock and Awe
Sworn to protect profits and property
They break our necks when we get in the way
Write legislation to force dominance
And as we're shackled we smile and say thanks
