you can trust me
do you trust me?
I'm not a pig
I'm not a rat
I'm not a sheep
I'm not a machine
can you see
what we're working towards?
are you ready
for what's in store?
have you the strength
to say "no" to war?
I don't sleep much
anymore

This Is Now

I am well aware that I used to be just like the rest
I followed anyone who seemed to know the best
way to live their life and how to make every moment count
I used to fear the future and regret the past
I wanted permanence, something I could grasp
I was blinded by illusion, until I found the words:
that was then
this is now
when you leave the cave, you begin to see
how many people run from responsibility
your life is your own life, there's no one else to blame
I hope you understand the meaning of what it is I say
and if you don't, don't waste another day
it isn't difficult, but you've got to free your mind
that was then
this is now

Schizophrenia

careful work will start a fire
warming skin and growing tired
I'll wait for the flames to fade
embers shimmer, ashes grey
I heard last monday that you were dead
guess all that acid finally went to your head
o, schizophrenia
you kept a notebook on the dresser by your bed
ink thoughts would slither out, ghostly serpents from your pen
o, schizophrenia
I thought it was right to be your friend
I thought I could stay with you 'til the end
I tried your madness on but it didn't fit me right
didn't fit me right
if something I had said changed your world
I hope it was beautiful like smoke from the cherry unfurls
o, schizophrenia

revolution
is what I need
revolution
is what I need
I said "it's coming"
no one agreed
I think it's about time, baby
if you don't that's on you
they will watch us
but we can see
they will watch us
but we can see
they are butchers
but we aren't meat
winning might not be an option
that won't slow me down
I want it peaceful
some disagree
I want it peaceful
some disagree
it's time to end this
oligarchy
how it goes ain't up to me
but baby, count me in

Endless War
03:26

it surrounds you
you cannot avoid it
it is a name that we must not speak
shall we speak it it will be known
and if it is known
it can be ended
it is ongoing
it is against all things
it is against every kind of person
it is against every kind of race
it is against every man woman and child
it is against the poor
it is against the rich
it is against the plants and the trees
it is against the animals
it is against all things living
it is against the Earth
perhaps you
perhaps you too
want to end it
to end it
END IT
NOW

Lonely Boy

I was a lonely boy
I'd lost my smile, I'd lost my joy
then you turned up
and you turned me on
when you turned up
you turned me on
drowning in darkness, strangled by fear
you gave me sunbeams, I'm keeping them near
you turned up
and you turned me on
when you turned up
you turned me on
I was a lonely boy
I'd lost my smile, I'd lost my joy
then you turned up
and you turned me on
when you turned up
you turned me on
you brought solace
wiped away my tears
voice so soothing
I've waited all these years

In Your Bed

I am yours completely
shining dew on the blades of green
you kiss me so sweetly
yellow pollen makes the flowers lean
you were the one
of whom I was dreaming
I awoke, we were
there in my bed
you were the one
to whom I was speaking
I slept, you were
there in my head
you are mine completely
leaves flutter down with a gently breeze
I kiss you so sweetly
a bluejay calls from among the trees
I was the one
of whom you were dreaming
you awoke, we were
there in your bed
I was the one
to whom you was speaking
you slept, I was there
in your head
