[Joe the Revelator]

Post em up:

A public service announcement followed me home the other day.
I paid it nevermind. Go Away.
Shits so thick you could stir it with a stick-free Teflon whitewashed presidency.
We're sick of being jerked around.
Wear that on your sleeve.

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
We're sick of being jerked around.
We all fall down.

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord,
Count your blessings.
The Papers wouldn't lie!
I sigh, Not one more.

It's been a bad day.
Please don't take a picture.
It's been a bad day.
Please.

[Joe the Revelator]

2. We are further from this than we were yesterday....

And then all that has divided us will merge
And then compassion will be wedded to power
And then softness will come to a world that is harsh and unkind

And then both men and women will be gentle
And then both women and men will be strong
And then no person will be subject to another's will

And then all will be rich and free and varied
And then the greed of some will give way to the needs of many

And then all will share equally in the Earth's abundance

And then all will care for the sick and the weak and the old

And then all will nourish the young
And then all will cherish life's creatures

And then everywhere will be called Eden once again

5. Four More Years by Warrior Soul

playing wild, the dying children,
from the gutter they spawn.
a life created of indignation.
Pride, and seek, or pause.
pig city oil creation.

over sex dose the junk machine crawls.
missing is the laughter from the death bus,
while the eternal human war wages on.

can you believe how little you care?

the friendly face of the empire leader
conquest of style.
ego hate.
walk amongst the ancient dogs,
while the violent kills.
the declining state...

have you eaten today?
i am glad.
your digestion is the sorrow of the hungry

so tired of rejection and stupidity!
cut away to gray man.
isolation room.
a crowd gathers.
fade to riot.
as the fuerher screams deliverance.
the claws of the predatory corporation dig deep into
the naive religion culture...

acceptance blind virtue.
their reason taunts the absurd.

the beggar.
he feeds the anger.
as you burn sorrow's last word.
pain create the answer holy.
learn the lesson passion learned.
hate that teaches oh so saintly.
i kissed the pyre as it burned.

our need flows on.
but we feel nothing!
all emotions kills with no remorseful death blow from jesus

only you can turn the key
to unlock the tortured riches in your soul.
and find the reason we live.
life some sort of god rejection.
place the blame on heads that turn.
you watch the dagger rip through masses.
as wheat and grain and corn.
cry into a hatred reality.
screaming into a vengeful pit.
pitiful scream.

the heart goes forward hating.
wanting life that cannot be obtained.
justice seeker.
pray for vengeance.
the purest life is marred and stained.

i want the world to heal.

i want the world to love.

but it cannot.

[Danmel]

6. Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire

The eastern world, it is explodin’.
Violence flarin’, bullets loadin’
You’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’
You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin’
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin’

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.

Don’t you understand what I’m tryin’ to say
Can’t you feel the fears I’m feelin’ today?
If the button is pushed, there’s no runnin’ away
There’ll be no one to save, with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy
It’s bound to scare you boy

And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.

Yeah, my blood’s so mad feels like coagulatin’
I’m sitting here just contemplatin’
I can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
Handful of senators don’t pass legislation
And marches alone can’t bring integration
When human respect is disintegratin’
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin’

And you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.

Think of all the hate there is in Red China
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama
You may leave here for 4 days in space
But when you return, it’s the same old place
The poundin’ of the drum, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, but don’t leave a trace
Hate your next-door neighbor, but don’t forget to say grace
And… tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend
You don’t believe
We’re on the eve
Of destruction
Mm, no no, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.
