I resist
Executive order
I raise my fist (to)
Executive order
I'm so pissed (with)
Executive order
I resist
Executive order
Do you think of your children
When you bomb theirs?
How can you be so cold
In world affairs?
Why must I be conquered by your
Point of view?
Sooner or later (Mr President)
all your nightmares
Will come true
I resist
Executive order
I raise my fist (to)
Executive order
I'm so pissed (with)
Executive order
I resist
Executive order
how can you be so blind
To what is real?
I hold on to my mind
That you try to steal
Your best intentions
Are always lies
With your interventions
And covert spies
I resist
Executive order
I raise my fist (to)
Executive order
I'm so pissed (with)
Executive order
I resist
Executive order

indefinite detention

You say I'm a troublemaker for the way I think
My eyes are focused; they don't blink
Guilty as charged for thinking
Thinking I can live and just be
Many before me have done this
Hold truth up to tyranny
I'm captive in my own homeland
Held without a cause
The lies you tell on me, I can't understand
Join me to crush this system's flaws
You say it's a problem; the way I think
My eyes are focused; they don't blink
Guilty as charged for thinking
Thinking I can live and just be
Many before me have done this
Hold up truth to tyranny
I'm captive in my own homeland
Shock & Awe has happened to me
Lessons of the past I understand
Stand with me and be free

living proof
05:04
|

Verse:
I wish I could find a way
A way to make u see
The fool that I used to be
Is gone and been set free
Some say people can't change
Old habits die hard
The first step is positive thinking
Don’t need no tarot cards
Chorus:
I am living proof
Living proof of a higher love
This is living proof of
A spirit that we're all a part of
Verse:
We all got some dreams
that live down deep inside
Most don't come true
Because of ever present fear
if we be, large or small
pearl or swine
The spirit of love watches us all
as we are all divine

palm of your hand

Well, it's all in the palm of your hand
No illusion, just complete command
Your worth is self contained
Sometimes it's hard, but you must maintain
Sometimes life gives you a test
Maybe you can't no rest
But if you give your life your best
The Universe will take care of the rest

trickle down
07:59
|
|||
what starts at the top
stays at the top
those who try to climb
never gets a dime
trickle down
make it rain
trickle down
feel the pain
economics
for the fewest
no options
for the newest
you weren’t born with it
you can’t have none of it
