Democracy Is An Illusion you can want in one hand and take a shit in the other and see which one fills up faster. terrorism is only a problem you see when it happens to western countries, i am charlie but fuck nigeria? exceptionalists play the victim card, oh no. how could this happen to us, uh-oh. a legacy of bullying and exploitation, of course there’s terror. imagine a bully at your school using muscle to spread fear and the teachers and administration condone, allowing the creep to operate. stand up to the tyranny, policies are in place to punish you, of course the oppressed will eventually rebel and maybe even assassinate. another presidential election is coming up but really who gives a fuck? when your allowed only two options (between coke and pepsi) at the end of the day, corporations have more say so than the president, of course the deep state is watching (a conspiracy?) it’s kind of cute how you believe that voting matters, give us a voter reform, bastards. the actors are predetermined and put into place, isn’t democracy great? if you have to choose between two evils, of course you’ll pick the lesser of the two, this is modern fascism costumed as democracy. the senate, congress, the commander in chief and those judges are on strings controlled by the elite. people are tired, overworked and underclass. overstimulated, uninspired, complacent and content, settled and subordinate. afraid to lose what little they do have and that’s not the half. they want us to live in fear not just of one another but to be scared to death of what we conceive as different. perceptions are conditioned, we are molded and shaped to participate and act against what’s in humanities best interest. anecdotal interpretations and limited human interaction, do these gadgets and conveniences actually make the world a better place? or do these misunderstandings come from a place of not ever truly being present in the moment, living in cyberspace. what are we becoming? what have we become? how do you sleep at night without sex, trazadon or ambien..?

Cop Watch 04:34
Cop Watch officer friendly was out on patrol, looking for any reason so out of control. so full of hate. hate, hate, hate so full of hate. fucker took an oath to serve and protect , to communities of color, piggies show no respect, just some things, thug, thug, thug with a badge and gun. the role of law enforcement was never intended to serve the community, you could find them supervising lynchings or dishing out beatings, behaving fucking brutally. oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, cops are fucking pigs. oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, pigs are fucking cops. pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig, pig that’s what cops are. it’s all for one and one for all, to climb that ladder, you better play ball, fuck them all, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck them all. officer friendly, never held accountable, a bully with a badge, state protected criminal, a bad attitude, bad, bad, bad fucking news. i can smell the bacon, nearly taste the sausage, imagine an armed cop watch. self defense is common sense, armed resistance, standing guard. oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, cops are fucking pigs. oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, pigs are fucking cops. you know your hated, vile and disgusting, not to mention so corrupt. you can’t be trusted, a tentacle of the state that does what the fuck they want.

In Palestine (You Have A Right To Die) ask arabs how’s the livin’ in the largest open air prison. all the borders are patrolled, under isreali control. where the bombs are phosphorus, dropped on the common populace. ethnic cleansing expulsions, here come the bulldozers and destruction. where the towns are segregated as are the schools and roads. another isreali settlement expansion in occupied zones. in palestine, cluster bombs get dropped on you, your actually given a curfew, a right to return is overdue. in palestine, there’s even an apartheid wall, isreals above international law, hezbollah will take the fall. in palestine, isreal controls all imports, as well as the exports, your a terrorist if you support, those in palestine, you’ll be dubbed anti-Semitic, zionists can be so dramatic. in palestine, let the bombing begin. in palestine, here we go again. no right to free speech, oppression is what you see. imprisoned without a trial, even get tortured for awhile. house searches without a warrant, human rights are not important. collective punishing of civilians, as long as they’re palestian. if you need to get to a hospital or find water resources, you’ll have to survive mandatory check points of isreali forces. in palestine, u.n. resolutions get defied, over forty years of being occupied, an institutionalized genocide. in palestine, geneva conventions you will find, get violated all the time, another isreali war crime. in palestine, from the west bank to east jerusalem, gaza strip families will get bombed again, when will it ever end? in palestine, if hamas fired a rocket, prepare for an isreali bombardment. in palestine, isreali will do it all again. in palestine, here come the bombs again. in palestine, isreals looking for a reason, to open up another season of womyn and children killin’. in palestine, if one isreali soldier get killed, palestian families will get drilled, zionist hate will be fulfilled. in palestine, what goods a two state solution?, who the fuck are you fooling, when you can’t even get treated like a human. in palestine, your guilty buy association, now prepare for annihilation. in palestine, you have the right to die.

Pro-Life Terrorism why do you bomb clinics if you choose life? how do you find it reasonable to take another's life? you assassinate doctors so you can send a message, you’re no different than terrorists I reckon. you have an ideology with a political aim, you say you’re pro-life, i believe you’re insane. using intimidation and violence to those who oppose you, makes you a terrorist group from my point of view. if you donate money to a pro-life organization then technically really you’re guilty by association and the PATRIOT ACT you can thank for that. pro-life terrorist cells are very much in tact. anti-abortion violence to protect the fetus, get protection from the courts, senate and congress and friends that’s what i call state sponsored terrorism. ironically you call it being a good christian. if you donate money to doctors in palestine, on a terrorist watch list yourself you will find. an FBI file and NSA eavesdropping can be expected but donations to the catholic church are totally accepted.

Born At Home (An Ode To Midwifery) em and june were born at home, in a couple weeks number three will come. our midwives have been awesome this is known, no forced medications, interventions or strangers to treat you like a medical condition. it’s your birth so you control the mood, eat what and when you want, walk around nude or do the running man or roger rabbit, woot, woot. it’s your birth, it’s your experience, control of it, you deserve. no one there jonesin’ to cut the cord because they want to get home because they’re bored. instead you’re surrounded by love and support. no hurried procedures to interrupt bonding time with baby, mama and partner. you can wait and name it later and recover at home after your labor. your midwife will come back for post natal with placenta capsules and placenta prints, home births can be magnificent.
6.
Post Traumatic Stress Demons (P.T.S.D.) no, i don’t want to die anytime soon, you know, i’ve got too much to stay alive for. no, i won’t be killing myself anytime soon, although i really couldn’t promise you for sure. i’ve got my wife, children and friends who i love but the question remains will to love and to be loved be enough? however, someday i may do it and pop my head like a balloon but as for today, i don’t plan on dying soon. i’d like to grow older with my wife and watch emmett and juniper grow elderly. yes, i hope i can enjoy my life and not let this post traumatic stress get the best of me. i might have an existential crisis and struggle with depression and feel lost and confused, going on and off medication but at the end of the day through all the trauma and strife, my friends and family keep me alive. combat has changed me, i mean how could it not? i’m grateful for all the things i got, there’s parts of me that i lost in iraq that i’ll more than likely never get back. so if i should take a turn for the worse, i must remember those who care and find comfort in allowing this feeling to pass, being okay with what cannot be repaired. however, now i embrace mortality of those i adore, it worries and sickens me, i’m pacing the floor because without them i’d be all alone and have nowhere to call home, i’d have nowhere to go or to call home.
7.
Protect & Serve (There's A Reason Why They Call You Pig) the police and the military have an awful lot in common, they do. both serving in the name of state power, they do. teaching officers and soldiers how and what to profile and that its perfectly okay to give bullet showers to anybody who is suspicious and makes you uncomfortable, go ahead and fill em full of bullets, you won’t be held accountable. protect and serve, corporations. protect and serve, state interests, protect and serve, the wealthy, protect and serve. and if you want a promotion, you’ll have to play ball and go along or get put on shit details or awful duties that nobody wants or quite possibly lose your job. but these cultures foster camaraderie with an attitude of us versus them and the people you took an oath to protect and serve, your gunning down again. protect and serve, corporations. protect and serve, state interests, protect and serve, the rich, protect and serve.
8.
Please, Don't Take My Guns Away (Wah, Wah) they’re coming to take our guns away, oh no, oh no. they’re coming to take our guns away, wah wah, wah wah. they’re coming to take our guns away, they’re going to take them far away. they’re coming to take our guns away, they’re going to put them in a place far away from me. so you better watch out for the socialists, they’re coming to take our guns away, they will and then there going to have all the guns and then we will have no guns and then they’re gonna put us in those fema camps like hitler and burn us in ovens and stuff. bang, bang, bang to your head. bang, bang, bang to your head. bang, bang, bang to your head. blowing out your brains. i got me an assault rifle, what should i do? i got me an assault rifle, what should i do? i got me an assault rifle, what should i do? blow out your brains. pow, pow, pow to your face. pow, pow, pow to your face, pow, pow, pow to your face. my AK works better than mace. load, load, load my gun. load, load, load my gun. load, load, load my gun. loading my gun is fun. criminals everywhere what should i do? criminals everywhere what should i do? criminals everywhere what should i do? shoot first! ask questions later. pew, pew, pew through your chest. pew, pew, pew through your chest. pew, pew, pew through your chest. stand your ground laws are the best.
9.
Second Resurrection Incoming when the lord and savior jesus christ returns and the second resurrection comes. he’ll take all of his followers up to heaven and save their souls. no, i won’t. no, i won’t be afraid because the odds of that happening are as good as talking pigs flying out of my butthole. and piggies cannot talk, cannot talk. can’t fly or fit let alone in, in my butthole, in my butthole, in my butthole. my butthole. religion is a wonderful excuse for adults to maintain imaginary friends in a socially acceptable way. they will, they will follow and they will never question. the obsequious flock will obey, fucking obey and the delusional space cadets will gather, gather and pray. they will gather, gather and pray. to a god, some fucking god who isn’t listening, who isn’t there, to a god who isn’t even there. oh, your just talking to yourself, there is no hell or heaven, there is no such thing as hell or a heaven. so fanatic, fanatic. kill yourself, oh just kill yourself so you can see for yourself but you won’t see because after you die there’s nothing more than darkness, just darkness, nothing, darkness. it’ll go black, the world will go black and everything will go away because nothing exists after, after you die, after you die.

The Stay At Home Dad Song how did i wind up in petaluma, hanging with the mothers club? i am working poor, not too educated, i’ve got no valuable skills to offer up, as a civilian i worked in a car wash and managed a record store. in the military i was field artillery, turned mechanic, turned gunner and murderer. now i am a father to two awesome children, neither my wife or i go to work. i am disabled, post traumatic stress and brain damage from combat while serving in iraq. so, i’m a stay at home dad and it’s fucking rad even if it means i spend my days around parents whose partners have career type skills and talents far greater than i could dream to achieve and that’s okay because everyday is like a paid vacation. maybe that’s why they don’t seem to understand me or appreciate my great sense of humor. maybe i am too critical of things they believe in, those who’ve mistaken my passion for anger. the two aren’t synamounuoas, no they don’t correlate the same way meltdowns differ from tantrums. so they next time you see me around town you don’t have to act pleasant with me and hide that judgement behind that forced smile, it’s really unbecoming.
11.
Hey Homophobe (Go Fuck Yourself) Go fuck yourself and find a suitable place to die for a homophobe like yourself. You may believe that your doing gods work, solidifying your place in heaven, there is something you should know. Not only does god not exist, heaven is simply a scare strategy to keep you obedient and to stay in line. Making good people do horrible things and you justify your hate through the word of an asshole, a xenophobic asshole. Why is it so hard for you to be kind and compassionate to others? So go ahead be a vengeful judgmental fucker. Does it really matter who marries who after all or chooses to be transexual? Look at how worked up you get, aren’t you afraid of having a stroke or a heart attack? I’m amazed how you can let such trivial shit fuck up your day, ruin today and everyday. Would you just open your mind? I have a suggestion how that I believe will solve this problem, use a shotgun, put the barrel, in your mouth. (gunshot)

AmeriKKKa The Brutal modern fascism in the guise of democracy, those conditional liberties. global positioning, imperialism, bombing countries, burning cities. america, north america, make way for the fourth reich. plutocrats are laughing all the way to the bank, uncle sam flexes his might. dead soldiers on the battle field, bleeding from a wound in the head. body parts are strewn across the area from where that IED went off. america, north america, your soldiers get to fight in illegal wars where they get sent to die or come home with ptsd.
