Gone

“Don’t fall in love with strangers on the internet

Even though their beauty is impossible to forget

There are real life girls who’d love to take you to bed”

It’s the world’s shortest line, because they’re all gone

 

“Don’t spend all your time watching You Tube clips

While you’re munching down on a bag of cheesy chips

There’s so much cinema, characters you want to ship”

There’s just one problem, the best of them are gone

 

“Stop laying in bed when there’s so much to create

Never mind that the discourse is covered in hate

You can counter it with love, why would you want to wait?”

I’ll tell you why: because the good ones are gone

 

“Mother Nature is the very best antidepressant

The cost is cheap for every working-class peasant

You can feed the squirrels, sing with the pheasants”

It’s too hot outside, because the ozone is gone

 

“Get yourself a car, show off your convertible

Get yourself a job, get paid to be serviceable

Buy all the shit you want, stack it high and vertical”

Where are all the good bosses? Oh wait, they’re gone

 

Just gone! Gone! Gone without a trace!

A shitshow of a world is what came in its place

I’ve never seen a broken spirit with a happy face

It’s camouflage for authenticity they want to erase

 

“Can’t we all just get along?” Fuck no, we can’t!

Not as long as we’re repeating the same racist chant

Not as long as the elite cuts us off at the knees

And brainwashes everyone with the greatest of ease

 

Gone! Gone! Gone without a trace!

Irresponsible Christian Parody


VERSE 1
What would Jesus do? Pretty much anyone
Who walks on water with God’s favorite son
He gives me strength for an eternal length
He makes me sing for the blessings he brings
My heart flutters every time I hear his name
Suddenly masturbation doesn’t feel like a shame
He brings me the hope and peace I’ve looked for
Ever since I walked into that Christian bookstore

CHORUS
Walk on water with the one I love
Enter paradise in the heavens above
Listen to the music of golden harps
And the beating of my bleeding heart

VERSE 2
Nonbelievers say that we’ll never last
They’ve got too many stones to cast
The only stones I’ve got belong to you
My boss is a carpenter and a practicing Jew
Let’s build Noah’s Ark with our bare hands
Collect every animal across these lands
Show them the love we have between us
Teach them to value the life of a fetus

CHORUS
Walk on water with the one I love
Enter paradise in the heavens above
Listen to the music of golden harps
And the beating of my bleeding heart

VERSE 3
The planet is melting, the oceans are boiling
But only because hell on earth is uncoiling
Let’s show them what we’ve got with prayers
Why should we blame it all on the industrial air?
Your love will set the human race totally free
If that makes us fruitcakes, be our honeybee
Only one way to heaven and it’s not a stairway
It’s to kneel for Jesus while bashing the gays

CHORUS
Walk on water with the one I love
Enter paradise in the heavens above
Listen to the music of golden harps
And the beating of my bleeding heart

FINAL LINE
April Fools, bitches! Hail Satan!

Climate Change


Rain is sadness and thunder is anger
The sunshine is all yours to savor
Snow is magic and ice is dreadful
Tornadoes are the be-all and end-all
Earthquakes are Lovecraftian horror
Tsunamis bring chaos and disorder
Wildfires turn forests into ashes
Turn living treasures into trashes
Apocalyptic rage on the front page
Zombies walk the earth, newfound birth
You’ve heard it all before on your TV
You’ve got the classics on a DVD
It looks silly sitting on your shelf
Until the ice caps begin to melt
Water gets warm, rises over land
Washes away more than just sand
Knocks over buildings, wrecks homes
Destroys every single car you own
Murders families from all walks of life
Every last kid, your husband or wife
Politicians keep sitting on their asses
Ignoring cries for help from the masses
The top one percent has nothing to lose
Think they have the right to choose
Who lives, who dies, who benefits
We don’t get to hear the end of it
Wish the tide would eat these rich jerks
And every golf course, go fucking berserk
A redwood tree falling on a limousine
Wouldn’t be enough or so it seems
But a lightning bolt to the mansion
Would put their asses into action
A hurricane throwing fat cats around
Up into the skies, crash to the ground
Only an emergency when privilege is threatened
Now do I have your motherfucking attention?

Blue Sky Blues

VERSE 1
You think the skies are your personal toilet?
You think you can heat the ocean and boil it?
You think your actions have no consequences?
You think we can solve this problem with fences?
Breathing the cleanest air is a god-given right
It never should have come to a verbal fight
It never should have resulted in casualties
That you bury in the ground so casually

CHORUS
More smoke in the air than a hookah bar
More poison in the water with oily tar
More politicians who don’t give a shit
These are blue sky blues, not a comedy bit

VERSE 2
Gas masks are not a fashion trend setter
Bigger trucks will not make things better
Lead doesn’t belong anywhere near water
You’ve led us all to the fucking slaughter
You answer to the world, owe them everything
You talk a lot, but haven’t said anything
As long as your bank account continues to grow
You’ll never be wrong, what the fuck do we know?

EXTENDED CHORUS 1
More smoke in the air than a hookah bar
More poison in the water with oily tar
More politicians who don’t give a shit
These are blue sky blues, not a comedy bit
Coal country blues, not a sitcom scene
Steel country blues, so fucking obscene
Pipeline blues, covering rivers in black
Blue sky blues, earth is under attack

BRIDGE
Climate change is as real as it gets
The safest bet, get paid until death
It’s not too late to clean this mess
This will be your ultimate test

EXTENDED CHORUS 2
More smoke in the air than a hookah bar
More poison in the water with oily tar
More politicians who don’t give a shit
These are blue sky blues, not a comedy bit
Drill baby drill, more people to kill
This ain’t no hoax, this is real, folks
The planet will drag you to hell with it

Find a cure for this pollution sickness
