Who will remember, passing through this Gate the unheroic Dead who fed the guns?
Who shall absolve the foulness of their fate,those doomed, conscripted, unvictorious ones?
Crudely renewed, the Salient holds its own paid are its dim defenders by this pomp;
Paid, with a pile of peace-complacent stone the armies who endured that sullen swamp.
Here was the world's worst wound. and here with pride
'Their name liveth for evermore' the Gateway claims.
Was ever an immolation so belied as these intolerably nameless names?
Well might the Dead who struggled in the slime rise and deride this sepulchre of crime.

State Of Independence
State of life, may I live, may I love coming out the sky, I name me a name
Coming out silver word for what it is it is very nature of the sound, the game
Siamese, Indonese, to Tibet treat the life as a game, if you please
Coming up Caribee such a freedom derives from a meditative state
Moving on, believe that's it, call it magic third world, it is, I only guessed it
Shot to the soul the flame of Oroladian the essence of the word the state of independence
Sounds like a signal from you bring me to meet your sound and I will bring you to my heart
Love, like a signal you call touching my body, my soul bring to me, you to meet me here
Home, be the temple of your heart home, be the body of your love just like holy water to my lips
Yes, I do know how I survive Yes, I do know why I'm alive to love and be with you
Day by day by day by day time, time again, it is said we will hear, we will see
See it all in His wisdom hear his truth will abound the land this truth will abound the land
This state of independence shall be this state of independence shall be
Be the sound of higher love today
Time, time again, it is said we will hear, we will see see it all in His wisdom hear
His truth will abound the land this truth will abound the land
This state of independence shall be this state of independence shall be
This state of independence shall be this state of independence shall be
This state of independence shall be
Coming out silver word for what it is it is very nature of the sound, the game
Siamese, Indonese, to Tibet treat the life as a game, if you please

Tool Fear Inoculum
Fear Inoculum
Immunity, long overdue contagion, I exhale you naive, I opened up to you
Venom and mania now, contagion, I exhale you
The deceiver says, he says you belong to me you don't wanna breathe the light of the others
Fear the light, fear the breath fear the others for eternity
But I hear them now, inhale the clarity
Hear the venom, the venom in what you say inoculated
Bless this immunity bless this immunity bless this immunity
Exhale, expel recast my tale weave my allegorical elegy
Enumerate all that I'm to do calculating steps away from you
My own mitosis growing through division from mania
Exhale, expel recast my tale weave my allegorical elegy
Forfeit all control you poison, you spectacle exorcise the spectacle
Exorcise the malady exorcise the disparate poison for eternity
Purge me and evacuate the venom and the fear that binds me
Your veil now, lift away I see you running
Deceiver chased away a long time coming
Pneuma
We are spirit bound to this flesh we go around one foot nailed down
We're bound to reach out and beyond this flesh become Pneuma
We are will and wonder bound to recall, remember
(We are born of) One breath, one word
(We are all) One spark, sun becoming
Child, wake up Child, release the light
Wake up now, child, wake up Child, release the light
Wake up now, child (Spirit)(Spirit) (Spirit) (Spirit)
Bound to this flesh this guise, this mask, this dream wake up, remember
(We are born of) One breath, one word
(We are all) One spark, sun becoming
Pneuma reach out and beyond wake up, remember
(We are born of) One breath, one word
(We are all) One spark, eyes full of wonder
Invincible
Long in tooth and soul longing for another win
Lurch into the fray weapon out and belly in
Warrior struggling to remain consequential
Bellow aloud bold and proud of where I've been but here I am
Beating chest and drums beating tired bones again
Age-old battle, mine weapon out and belly in
Tales told of battles won of things we've done Caligula would grin
Beating tired bones tripping through, remember when once invincible
Now the armor's wearing thin heavy shield down
Warrior struggling to remain relevant
A warrior struggling to remain consequential
Cry aloud bold and proud of where I've been but here I am where I am
Warrior struggling to remain relevant
A warrior struggling to remain consequential
Tears in my eyes, chasing Ponce de León's phantoms
So filled with hope, I can taste mythical fountains
False hope, perhaps, but the truth never got in my way
Before now, feel the sting, feeling time, bearing down
Tears in my eyes, chasing Ponce de León's phantoms
So filled with hope, I can taste mythical fountains
False hope, perhaps, but the truth never got in my way
Before now, feel the sting, feeling time, bearing down
False hope, perhaps, but the truth never got in my way
Before now, feel the sting, feeling time, bearing down bearing down
Descending
Free fall through our midnight this epilogue of our own fable
Heedless in our slumber floating nescient we free fall through this boundlessness
This madness of our own making falling isn't flying floating isn't infinite
Come our end suddenly all hail our lethargy concede suddenly to the quickened
Dissolution pray we mitigate the ruin calling all to arms and order
Drifting through this boundlessness this madness of our own making
Sound our dire reveille rouse all from our apathy lest we cease to be
Stir us from our wanton slumber mitigate our ruin call us all to arms and order
Sound the dread alarm through the primal body sound the reveille to be or not to be
Rise stay the grand finale stay the reading of our swan song and epilogue
One drive to stay alive elementary muster every fiber mobilize stay alive
Stir us from our wanton slumber mitigate our ruin call us all to arms and order
Culling Voices
Disembodied voices deepen my suspicious tendencies conversations we've never had
Imagined interplay psychopathy don't you dare point that at me
Heated altercations we've never had, so I'm told yet guided by them all every single one
Psychopathy misleading me over and over and over
Judge, condemn, and banish any and everyone without evidence only the whispers from within
Psychopathy misleading me over and over and over
Psychopathy misleading me over and over and over
(Imaginal interplay, Imaginal interplay)
(Psychopathy) Don't you dare point that at me
(Don't you dare point that at me) (Don't you dare point that at me) (Don't you dare point that at me)
Don't you dare Don't you dare Don't you dare point that
Don't you dare Don't you dare Don't you dare point that at
7empest
(Keep calm, keeping it calm, keep calm. fuck, here we go again)
Heat lighting flash, but don't blink misleading tranquility ruse you're gonna happen again
That's what I think follow the evidence look it dead in the eye you are darkness
Trying to lull us in, before the havoc begins, into a dubious state of serenity
Acting all surprised when you're caught in the lie
We know better it's not unlike you, it's not unlike you we know your nature
Blame it all on the bastards when you're blowing out shame on you shame on you now
No amount of wind could begin to cover up your petulant stench and demeanor
Calm as cookies and cream, so it seems we're not buying your dubious state of serenity
Acting all surprised when you're caught in the lie
We know better it's not unlike you, it's not unlike you we know your nature
Calm before the torrent comes calm before the torrent comes
Calm before the torrent comes calm before the tempest comes to reign all over
Disputing intentions invites devastation a tempest must be true to its nature
A tempest must be just that a tempest must be just that a tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that a tempest must be just that a tempest must be just that
A tempest must be just that a tempest must be just that
Control, your delusion insane and striking at random
Victim of your certainty, and therefore your doubt's not an option
Blameless, the tempest will be just that so try as you may, feeble, your attempt to atone
Your words to erase all the damage cannot a tempest must be just that

Accidents Will Happen
I just don't know where to begin though he says he'll wait forever
It's now or never but she keeps him hanging on the silly champion
She says she can't go home without a chaperone
Accidents will happen we only hit and run
He used to be your victim now you're not the only one
Accidents will happen we only hit and run
I don't want to hear it because I know what I've done
I know I know
There's so many fish in the sea
That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
But they keep you hanging on they say you're so young
Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone
And it's the damage that we do and never know
It's the words that we don't say that scare me so
There's so many people to see so many people you can check up on
And add to your collection but they keep you hanging on
Until you're well hung your mouth is made up but your mind is undone
It's now or never but she keeps him hanging on the silly champion
She says she can't go home without a chaperone
Accidents will happen we only hit and run

Pump It Up
I've been on tenterhooks ending in dirty looks,
Listening to the Muzak,thinking about this and that.
She said that's that. I don't wanna chitter-chat.
Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.
Pump it up until you can feel it.
Down in the pleasure centre hell bent or heaven sent,
Listen to the propaganda, listen to the latest slander.
There's nothing underhand that she wouldn't understand.
Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.
She's been a bad girl.she's like a chemical.
Though you try to stop it,she's like a narcotic.
You wanna torture her.you wanna talk to her.
All the things you bought for her putting up your temperature.
Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.
Out in the fashion show,down in the bargain bin,
You put your passion out under the pressure pin.
Fall into submission, hit-and-run transmission.
No use wishing now for any other sin.
Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.

Watching The Detectives
Nice girls not one with a defect cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct
Red dogs under illegal legs she looks so good that he gets down and begs
She is watching the detectives he's so cute
She is watching the detectives when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
They beat him up until the teardrops start
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart
Long shot of that jumping sign visible shivers running down my spine
Cut the baby taking off her clothes close-up of the sign that says,"We never close"
You snatch a tune, you a match a cigarette she pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet
I don't know how much more of this I can take she's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake
She is watching the detectives he's so cute
She is watching the detectives when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
They beat him up until the teardrops start
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it now fear is here to stay.
Love is here for a visit they call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit
Someone's scratching at the window. I wonder who is it?
The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents
Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay it only took my little fingers to blow you away
Just like watching the detectives Don't get cute
It's just like watching the detectives I get so angry when the teardrops start
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart watching the detectives
It's just like watching the detectives watching the detectives

They're a care-o, singing a song all the day long!
So if you like the beat take a lesson from Cuban Pete

Imposter
MC Sean
"Hey imposter! They say you took something that belonged to them,
And man, they're gonna kick your white ass!"
Imposter I'm just a middle class white kid from Toronto in spite of how I sound
My single went platinum, I'm bigger than Marley, Jimmy, and Yellowman
But I'm not even mulatto my reggae's watered down
Hear me on the radio think I could not be blacker but on my video you see I'm really a cracker
Pretending I was a rasta since I was in jammies I should paint my face and start belting out mammy
You can criticize me all the way to the bank my single's number one and Shabba don't rank
Time Warner kicked Ice-T off of the label for dissing the cops they said it just ain't right
But when a Caucasian man records a cop killing song they don't have a problem must be an oversight
All the Jamaicans think I gave them a bum steer but everything I know I learned from a auctioneer
The bidding will start at seven for this here Gauguin eight do I hear eight nine who'll give me ten
I got ten, ten gone once going twice sold I can spout gibberish and it will go gold
I am what I am and that's all that I am
MC Sean
I rappin' your songs with the best of my ability you need a black man to increase the credibility
When put on the spot, I side with the rasta cause the Sean ain't down with no imposter
Imposter like Vanilla Ice the people are sick of me they put my boom boom down
In four months my butt will be back in Canada working a day job and with a burger crown
Would you - would you - would you like fries with that a hot apple pie with that
Just drive around man blue class Cool Runnings

What I Am
I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know if you know what I mean
Philosophy is a talk on cereal box religion is a smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know if you know what I mean
Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep
What I am is what I am are you what you are or what
I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know if you know what I mean
Philosophy is a walk on slippery rocks religion is a light in the fog
I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know if you know what I mean
Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep
What I am is what I am are you what you are or what
Don't let me get too deep don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep don't let me get too deep
Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep
Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep
Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep
Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep
Philosophy is a talk on cereal box religion is a smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know if you know what I mean
Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep
What I am is what I am are you what you are or what
I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know if you know what I mean
Philosophy is a walk on slippery rocks religion is a light in the fog
I'm not aware of too many things I know what I know if you know what I mean
Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep
What I am is what I am are you what you are or what
Don't let me get too deep don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep don't let me get too deep
Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep
Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep
Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep
Shove me in the shallow water before I get too deep
She (Tous Les Visages De L'Amour)
She may be the face I can't forget a trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings may be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things within the measure of a day.
She may be the beauty or the beast may be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams a smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem inside her shell
She who always seems so happy in a crowd whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last may come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die
She may be the reason I survive the why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and ready years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears and make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be the meaning of my life is she, she, she
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings may be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things within the measure of a day.
She may be the beauty or the beast may be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams a smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem inside her shell
She who always seems so happy in a crowd whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last may come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die
She may be the reason I survive the why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and ready years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears and make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be the meaning of my life is she, she, she
Oliver's Army
Don't start me talking I could talk all night
My mind goes sleepwalking while I'm putting the world to right
Called careers information have you got yourself an occupation?
Oliver's army is here to stay Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else but here today
There was a checkpoint Charlie he didn't crack a smile
But it's no laughing party when you've been on the murder mile
Only takes one itchy trigger one more widow, one less white nigger
Oliver's army is here to stay Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else but here today
Hong Kong is up for grabs London is full of Arabs
We could be in Palestine overrun by a Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne
But there's no danger it's a professional career
Though it could be arranged with just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear
If you're out of luck or out of work we could send you to Johannesburg

(I Don't Want To Go To) Chelsea
Photographs of fancy tricks to get your kicks at sixty-six
He thinks of all the lips that he licks and all the girls that he's going to fix
She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle
But there's no place here for the mini-skirt waddle
Capital punishment, she's last year's model
They call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie
I don't want to go to Chelsea no it does not move me
Even though I've seen the movie I don't want to check your pulse
I don't want nobody else I don't want to go to Chelsea
Everybody's got new orders be a nice girl and kiss the warders
Now the teacher is away all the kids begin to play
Men come screaming, dressed in white coats shake you very gently by the throat
One's named Gus, one's named Alfie I don't want to go to Chelsea
I don't want to go to Chelsea no it does not move me

Airport
So many destination faces going to so many places
Where the weather is much better and the food is so much cheaper.
Well I help her with her baggage for her baggage is so heavy
I hear the plane is ready by the gateway to take my love away.
And I can't believe that she really wants to leave me and it's getting me so it's getting me so.
Airport Airport, you've got a smiling face you took the one I love so far away
Fly her away fly her away airport.
Airport, you've got a smiling face you took my lady to another place
Fly her away fly her away.
The plane is on the move and the traces of the love we had in places
Are turning in my mind - how I wish I'd been much stronger
For the wheels are turning faster as I hear the winds are blowing
and I know that she is leaving on the jet plane way down the runaway.
And I can't believe that she really wants to leave me and it's getting me so it's getting me so.

Dancing The Night Away
So you want to believe everything that you read and you think that you're making the grade
And just when you're getting it made you're still in love with her she'd love you to kiss her
Hoping you'll miss her by taking your mind off the road
Just when you're ready to go you turn your back on her
You just got your mind on the things ahead at last you're gonna be free
You'll only miss her just after you kiss her
Dancing the night away dancing the night away
Dancing the night away dancing the night away
Dancing the night away dancing the night away
So you turn on the smiles because you think of the time
And nobody knows who you are you don't think you'll get very far don't even know your name
At last they accept you in case you go next year and ask you to reach for the sky
And just when you're ready to die they turn their back on you
So they put you on ice in survival hotel and wish you would die from the cold
When all you want is a night alone
Dancing the night away dancing the night away
Dancing the night away dancing the night away
Dancing the night away dancing the night away
So you want to believe everything that you read and you think that you're making the grade

Singapore Silk Torpedo
I've sailed the seas, a hard sea dog to please tattooed on my chest, is the girl I love best.
Back in 1954, on leave in Old Singapore I was soaking in gin, when Miss Foxy walked in.
She's my Singapore Silk Torpedo wearing high satin non stick lip glow,
I fell a victim to this female hypno she's my Singapore Silk Torpedo.
She drives a Mercedes, she is the queen of those ladies,
My China Seas sweetheart, she tears me apart.
She's my Singapore Silk Torpedo wearing high satin non stick lip glow,
I fell a victim to this female hypno she's my Singapore Silk Torpedo.
You speak of love to her, a smile cracks her face,
She doesn't believe in rules, to her it's just a race.
She's seen both black and white you shouldn't go out tonight unless you mean to play it mean.
She's like a spike in the head I'd be better off dead,
Just can't shake her loose now I'm hooked on this juice
We'll build a house on the cliff a small navy our gift,
Passing ships in the night anchored safe we're alright.

Love Hurts
Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and marks, any heart
Not tough or strong enough to take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain
Love hurts love hurts
I'm young, I know, but even so I know a thing or two
I learned from you I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame it burns you when it's hot
Love hurts love hurts
Some fools think of happiness blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess they're not fooling me
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts love hurts
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts love hurts
Not tough or strong enough to take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain

I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts love hurts

Love is just a lie made to make you blue

Miss Misery
Since you came into my life it's the same old situation
Empty days and lonely nights filled with bitterness and frustration.
Walking lonely in the cold trying to find the answer
Spend my money on a crystal ball and the charms of a gypsy dancer.
Trying to break the spell you hold on me
You're Miss Misery that song you lay on me
Set me free, set me free please, please, please
Everyday is filled with shame my nights are filled with anger
Hollow lies, forced denial if you told the truth I can't remember.
You know I've got to find my way got to find a reason
Got to find your weakness so I can end your witching season.
Got to break the spell you hold on me
Can't think how I got myself caught up in this nightmare
Evil schemes, midnight screams come on somebody listen to my prayer
I'd give all I've got to give just to find my way out
Got it going but I can't let go I'm trapped on this crazy roundabout
Trying to break the spell you hold on me

Silver Dollar Forger
Swinging my sweet chariot low gotta make it home to Georgia
Excise lawman on my trail I'm a silver dollar forger
I see a road block on my right engine take me through the night
Gotta make it home to the arms of my sweet baby.
Twenty miles from that Georgia state I can hear the sirens wailing
If only I can cross that line and leave the police trailing
I see a red light at my rear now I'm sweating cold steel fear
Gotta make it home to the arms of my sweet baby.
I'm tired of all this running hiding from the light
I want to walk out in the sun
I'll soon be home I can see the clay I'll soon be in Atlanta
If only I can hold that line I can live just how I want to
I see the state line in my lights engine take me through the night
Gotta make it home to the arms of my sweet baby.

Living In The Past
Happy and I'm smiling walk a mile to drink your water
You know I'd love to love you and above you there's no other
We'll go walking out while others shout of war's disaster
We won't give in let's go living in the past
Once I used to join in every boy and girl was my friend
Now there's revolution, but they don't know what they're fighting
Let us close our eyes outside their lives go on much faster
We won't give in let's go living in the past
You know I'd love to love you and above you there's no other

Witch's Promise
Lend me your ear while I call you a fool
You were kissed by a witch, one night in the wood
And later insisted your feelings were true
The witch's promise was coming believing he listened while laughing you flew
Leaves falling red, yellow, brown, all look the same
And the love you have found, lay outside in the rain
Washed clean by the water but nursing his pain
The witch's promise was coming and you look and there's where for your own selfish gain
Keep looking, keep looking for somewhere to be
Well, you're wasting your time, they're not stupid like he is
Meanwhile leaves are still falling, you're too blind to see
You won't find it easy now, it's only fair
He was willing to cater to you, but you didn't care
You're waiting for more but you've already had your share
The witch's promise is turning so don't you wait up for him, he's going to be late
You were kissed by a witch, one night in the wood
And later insisted your feelings were true
The witch's promise was coming believing he listened while laughing you flew
Leaves falling red, yellow, brown, all look the same
And the love you have found, lay outside in the rain
Washed clean by the water but nursing his pain
The witch's promise was coming and you look and there's where for your own selfish gain
Keep looking, keep looking for somewhere to be
Well, you're wasting your time, they're not stupid like he is
Meanwhile leaves are still falling, you're too blind to see
You won't find it easy now, it's only fair
He was willing to cater to you, but you didn't care
You're waiting for more but you've already had your share
The witch's promise is turning so don't you wait up for him, he's going to be late
Brute Force & Ignorance
Brute Force and Ignorance just hit town,
Looking like survivors from the Lost and Found.
Brute Force and Ignorance have come to play,
A one-night stand at eight o'clock then they'll be on their way.
This old town's exploding and the mayor's uptight,
He'd like to make it to the show but he knows it's not his night.
He's got to be beholding to his legal spouse,
But she's put the thumbscrews on him and snuck out of the house.
The picture on the poster raised an eyebrow or two,
At fifty-five to seven you should've seen the queue.
City slick and country hick they came one and all,
The traffic-light girl and the downhome kids assembled in the hall.
Brute Force and Ignorance that's the name,
The young folks gonna miss them now they've gone away.
Well, the show got so crazy today they took the billboard down,
I'll never forget the scene last night when the band was escorted out of town.
This little town's back in slow motion I'm sad to say,
After the confusion it'll never be the same.
Well, I took a walk down Main Street just to pass the time,
And I could hear that music still rolling through my mind.
Brute Force and Ignorance they sure hit town,
And if you want to find them they're down at the Lost and Found.

Bought And Sold
I'm feeling bought and sold you're just a three card trickster.

You'd better check again I don't intend to stay here.
Hear me now, hear me right.
It's time-wasting checking up on you.
You're high-flying you'll be crash-landing soon that's true.

Back On The Streets
Listen to me woman I just think it's a sin.
I know you hear me knocking but you won't let me in.
Might be fine for you just to keep me hanging around.
But if you don't open up this door I'm gonna kick it down.
Sometimes I feel like I'm back on the streets again.
Sometimes I feel like there's nowhere to go.
Sometimes I feel like I'm back on the streets again.
Sometimes it's the only place that I know
Listen , you've been telling me to short for much too long.
But now I'm gonna put you back where you belong.
Might be fine for you just to keep me hanging around.
But if you don't open up this door I'm gonna kick it down.

Power Of The Blues
Did you ever get the feeling everything was going wrong?
Did you ever get the feeling all the good times have gone?
Don't try to fight it you know it's no use
No way you can beat it you're messing with the power of the blues
Did you ever get the feeling nothing's going your way?
Did you ever get the feeling that it just ain't your day?
Ain't no use to fight it you're just gonna lose
You know you can't beat it you're messing with the power of the blues

When It All Comes Down
The world goes round no one knows what it all means
You're still out there looking for a brand new scene
And I'm still here never have been hard to find
When new gets old I'll be playing on your mind
When it all comes down, look for me I'll still be around
When it all comes down, look for me I'll still be around
The day will come when there's nothing new to see
And then you'll know here is where you want to be
You know my song used to take your heart away
That same old feel is gonna bring you back to stay
When it all comes down, look for me I'll still be around
When it all comes down, look for me I'll still be around
You're still out there looking for a brand new scene
And I'm still here never have been hard to find
When new gets old I'll be playing on your mind
When it all comes down, look for me I'll still be around
When it all comes down, look for me I'll still be around
The day will come when there's nothing new to see
And then you'll know here is where you want to be
You know my song used to take your heart away
That same old feel is gonna bring you back to stay
When it all comes down, look for me I'll still be around
When it all comes down, look for me I'll still be around
Donald Trump (A Business Study)
Trump may be making millions , but it doesn't anywhere near cover all his debts , he spends more money than he brings in. he's hiding his taxes for a reason , it's called embarrassment , you have to make billions , and have billions in your bank account to really be a billionaire. just because you lose billions in business failures and bankruptcies , that doesn't make you a billionaire , that makes you a wannabe billionaire and someone who isn't good with business or with money. just bullshit and bluster
This guy does in government just what he does in business. 'Mob boss' surrounded by enablers and/or the compromised. And an army of lawyers to tie up the law in court.
Plus, he heads a political party that does it's best to gerrymander and ensure they can't be voted out.
The diversion of the military to Scotland particularly draws irritation. Military bases have very nice billeting on bases, especially on AF bases, where they should be gassing up the planes...the US taxpayer pays for these facilities. It also pays for Camp David for off-site meetings and R and R. But the taxpayer, must pay for the use of Mar A Lago to prop up certain Trump properties. In the end, the taxpayer gets screwed
Trump is running the US as if it's another third world banana republic.
The only thing more shocking is the inability of the US authorities to do anything about it other than turning it into talk show fodder
Corporations want congress to decide : they bought congress.Unregulated trade, frenetic globalization is good for the corporations, it's bad for the planet, and, ultimately, for the people. And China is the worst totalitarian nightmare you may have.
So, Trump trade wars is, overall, a good thing. For the planet. For democracy. For the future.
The problem is that when you wage a war, you are supposed to win it. And Trump will lose because he has done so many errors. But don't think corporations are giving good advices. They just want to keep doing what they have been doing for decades : buying the congress and concentration more and more wealth into fewer and fewer pockets. And if it leads to the world being lead by a totalitarian, genocidal, orwellian state... Not a problem for them.
Having a crooked lunatic in the White House has made it abundantly clear that there needs to be a lot of new laws and restrictions put on powers of the "president". That would be the only good thing to come out of Trump's presidency, if Congress is smart enough to do it.
It may be too late as the damage TTW on China has hurt America already and bankrupted small businesses that have been trading with China for generations. And because Trump doesn’t understand the ways China does business, because he is a failed businessman. He thinks that China is ripping of America.
Trade is outsourced to other countries to manufacture so that the organisation that owns the product and service can produce more units, move more units, sell more units at a cheaper price because manufacturing is cheaper. And Donald Trump doesn’t understand why American firms do this when it could be manufactured in the US which is where MAGA came from.
But what Feckless Trump fails to understand. Manufacturing in the US where they don’t have the facilities or the equipment to manufacture. This increases the price of per unit and therefore the final price of the product is more expensive and they sell less units as a result. This has been proven before and it it more expensive to manufacture the same product in the US than outsourcing to another country to manufacture the same product and sell it 35% (The percentage is an example and not an actually figure) cheaper. Trump doesn’t understand this because he is a useless businessman.
Even I understand why businesses outsource. But the start are paid low wages and work long hours. And it’s barbaric and they use child labour. I get this all the time... you have to realise that our way of life in the western world is completely different to other countries around the world.
What we would consider a poor wage and working long hours and the working age is 12. We would consider this barbaric but for them in their country this is a normal way of life and this is where people don’t understand and take to Twitter and other social media and complaint and rant about it. Because they don’t understand that this to them is a normal way of life and what they get paid we look upon as a pittance.

Donald Trump & Jeffrey Epstein
Stern interview (6/3/1999): Robin: "But Donald, do you worry because you have a daughter who's a model?" Trump: "I do and I have a deal with her, she's just 17 and she's doing great, Ivanka. And she made me promise her, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her. Howard, as she grows older the field is getting very limited to deal with, you know?" Stern: "Yeah, the nerve of her! Now you can't go out with 16 year olds."
On the set of the Apprentice, Donald asked Latoya Jackson if Michael Jackson's 12 year old daughter was "really that hot" as in the pictures.
In a Howard Stern interview discussing attractive women, Trump said, "Now, somebody who a lot of people don’t give credit to but in actuality is really beautiful is Paris Hilton. I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s 12, her parents are friends of mine, and the first time I saw her she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?!'" Stern: "Did you want to bang her?" Trump: "Well, at 12, I wasn’t interested. I’ve never been into that ... but she was beautiful. " Donald then bragged he had watched Paris' sex tape - the girl he's been attracted to since she was 12.
Multiple times, Trump barged into the dressing room for Teen USA contestants, many underage, while they were undressed. He'd later brag of this on Stern's radio show as a perk of owning the competition.
Of convicted sex offender and pedophile Jefferey Epstein, Trump said: "I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it, Jeffrey enjoys his social life."
Trump was accused by an anonymous woman going by "Katie Johnson"of rape, as a 13 year old girl in 1994, at Epstein parties. The story was connected to a few political activists with a sketchy history, whom "aggressively" shopped it around to the media. Under alleged death threats, Katie Johnson has vanished from the public eye and it remains to be seen if her horrific story is true.
Epstein’s phone directory from his computer contained 16 different contacts for Donald Trump, including emergency numbers, car numbers, and numbers to Trump’s security guard and houseman.
Further various excerpts of Trump sexualizing children:
[Donald Trump turned up Monday for a carol sing by a youth choir outside Manhattan's Plaza Hotel. He asked two of the girls how old they were. After they replied they were 14, Trump said, "Wow! Just think--in a couple of years I'll be dating you."] Chicago Tribune, Dec. 1992
Also in 1992, then 42 year-old Trump was caught on camera making small talk with a little girl (appearing anywhere from 7 to 10 years-old), and then as she passed by, suggesting "I'm going to be dating her in 10 years. Can you believe it?"
When Trump was asked whether Tiffany looked more like him or Trump’s then-wife Marla Maples, he said Marla, and added that Tiffany was “a really beautiful baby.” But the first specific feature Trump mentioned wasn’t anything in her face it was her legs.
“She’s got Marla’s legs. We don’t know whether or not she’s got this part yet,” Trump said, miming a pair of breasts over his own chest, “but time will tell.” ]
[ Mr. Trump frequently sought assurances — at times from strangers — that the women in his life were beautiful. During the 1997 Miss Teen USA pageant, he sat in the audience as his teenage daughter, Ivanka, helped to host the event from onstage. He turned to Brook Antoinette Mahealani Lee, Miss Universe at the time, and asked for her opinion of his daughter’s body.
“‘Don’t you think my daughter’s hot? She’s hot, right?’” Ms. Lee recalled him saying. ‘I was like, ‘Really?’ That’s just weird. She was 16. That’s creepy.” ]

Creature Comfort
Some boys hate themselves spend their lives resenting their fathers
Some girls hate their bodies stand in the mirror and wait for the feedback
Saying God, make me famous if you can't just make it painless just make it painless
Assisted suicide she dreams about dying all the time
She told me she came so close filled up the bathtub and put on our first record
Saying God, make me famous if you can't just make it painless just make it painless

Some girls hate themselves hide under the covers with sleeping pills and
Some girls cut themselves stand in the mirror and wait for the feedback

Born in a diamond mine it's all around you but you can't see it
Born in a diamond mine it's all around you but you can't touch it
Saying God, make me famous if you can't just make it painless just make it painless
It's not painless she was a friend of mine, a friend of mine and we're not nameless
It goes on and on, I don't know what I want
On and on, I don't know if I want it
On and on, I don't know what I want
On and on, I don't know if I want it
Well if you're not sure, better safe than sorry
Creature comfort, make it painless creature comfort, make it painless
We're the bones under your feet the white lie of American prosperity
We wanna dance but we can't feel the beat I'm a liar, don't doubt my sincerity
Just make it painless creature comfort, make it painless

Everything Now
I'm in the black again can't make it back again
We can just pretend we'll make it home again from everything now
Every inch of sky's got a star every inch of skin's got a scar I guess that you've got everything now
Every inch of space in your head is filled up with the things that you read
I guess you've got everything now
And every film that you've ever seen fills the spaces up in your dreams that reminds me
(Everything now) (Everything now)
Every inch of road's got a sign and every boy uses the same line
I pledge allegiance to everything now
Every song that I've ever heard is playing at the same time, it's absurd
And it reminds me, we've got everything now
We turn the speakers up till they break because every time you smile it's a fake
Stop pretending, you've got (Everything now!) I need it
(Everything now!) I want it (Everything now!) I can't live without
(Everything now!) I can't live without (Everything now!)
Every inch of road's got a town Daddy, how come you're never around?
I miss you, and everything now
Mama, leave the food on the stove leave your car in the middle of the road
We turn the speakers up till they break because every time you smile it's a fake
Stop pretending, you've got (Everything now!) I need it
(Everything now!) I want it (Everything now!) I can't live without
(Everything now!) I can't live without (Everything now!)
(Everything now!) 'Til every room in my house (Everything now!) Is filled with shit
(Everything now!) I couldn't live without (Everything now!) I need it
(Everything now!) I can't live without
(Everything now!) Every inch of space (Everything now!) In my heart
(Everything now!) Is filled with something I'll never start
The ashes of everything now and then you're black again
Can't make it back again from everything now
I'm in the black again not coming back again
We can just pretend we'll make it home again from everything now
I'm in the red again red space in my head again
We can just pretend we'll make it home again from everything now
We can just pretend we'll make it home again from everything now
I'm in the red again red space in my head again
We can just pretend we'll make it home again from everything now
Fire On The Mountain
There is fire on the mountain and nobody seems to be on the run
There is fire on the mountain top and no one is running
One day the river will overflow and there'll be nowhere for us to go
And we will run, run wishing we had put out the fire
I wake up in the morning tell you what I see on my TV screen
I see the blood of an innocent child and everybody's watching
Now I'm looking out my window and what do I see
I see an army of a soldier man marching across the street
Mr. soldier man tomorrow is the day you go to war
But you are fighting for another man's cause and you don't even know him
What did he say to make you so blind to your conscience and reason
Could it be love for your country or for the gun you use in killing
Mr. Lover man can I get a chance to talk to you because you are fooling
With a dead man's corpse and you don't know what you do
So you say you have a lover and you love her like no other so you buy her a diamond
That someone has died on don't you think there's something wrong with this?
Tell me who's responsible for what we teach our children?
Is it the internet or the stars on television why o why o
So little Lucy turns sixteen and like the movie she's been seeing
She has a lover in her daddy she can't tell nobody until she makes the evening news
There is fire on the mountain top and no one is running
One day the river will overflow and there'll be nowhere for us to go
And we will run, run wishing we had put out the fire

Fire On The Mountain
Took my family away from our Carolina home
Had dreams about the west and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell
And there's fire on the mountain lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
We were digging and shifting from five to five
Selling everything we found just to stay alive
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
Sinning was the big thing Lord and Satan was the star
And there's fire on the mountain lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
Dance hall girls were the evening treat
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Or just to hear the noise of their 44 guns
And there's fire on the mountain lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
Now my widow, she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim
And there's fire on the mountain lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
Had dreams about the west and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell
And there's fire on the mountain lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
We were digging and shifting from five to five
Selling everything we found just to stay alive
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
Sinning was the big thing Lord and Satan was the star
And there's fire on the mountain lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
Dance hall girls were the evening treat
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Or just to hear the noise of their 44 guns
And there's fire on the mountain lightening in the air

Now my widow, she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim
And there's fire on the mountain lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there
The Devil Went Down To Georgia
The devil went down to Georgia He was looking for a soul to steal
He was in a bind because he was way behind and he was willing to make a deal
When he came upon this young man sawing on a fiddle and playing it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said let me tell you what
I guess you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle but give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul because I think I'm better than you
The boy said my name's Johnny and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet and you're gonna regret because I'm the best there's ever been
Johnny, rising up your bow and play your fiddle hard
Because hell's broke loose in Georgia, and the devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold but if you lose, the devil gets your soul
The devil opened up his case and he said I'll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow
Then he pulled the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this
When the devil finished Johnny said well you're pretty good, old son
But sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done
He played Fire on the Mountain run boys, run the devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picking out dough Granny, does your dog bite? No child, no
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said Devil, just come on back if you ever want to try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch I'm the best that's ever been
He played Fire on the Mountain run boys, run the devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picking out dough Granny, does your dog bite? No child, no
He was in a bind because he was way behind and he was willing to make a deal

He played Fire on the Mountain run boys, run the devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picking out dough Granny, does your dog bite? No child, no
