I can't breath, copper Please don’t kill me I can't breathe, please don't kill me Get off my neck. Mama, can't breathe Say his name (George Floyd!) Say her name (Breonna Taylor!) United we stand, United we fall! Take it to the streets and fuck the police No justice, no peace!

Wake up Dick up Get the fuck up It's time to wake up, it's time to get up And rejoin society for a revolution It's time to get up, and lace up your boots, Shiels, Masks, Bats And cans of soup, It's time to wake up, it's time to get up And rejoin society for a revolution!

Everyday he looks out in the streets and Sees mistakes humanity has made He knows they're dumb but destructive And of that he's really afraid All a guy wants is to rule his world But he's stuck in a cage on a shelf He can't trust no one to help him So he's got to do it himself Why won't they let him make a difference? He's got the greatest gift he can give But people don't want to think on their own He knows they're too stupid to live

They say a generation is every 20 years And this next one's facing more shit problems than I feared We're still being shot at by cops and beat and there's still KKK And our vice president thinks you can pray away the gays Side hustle is drugs Cops are worse than thugs Sleep work smoke, get paid It's the only way (I've got to get out, playing both sides, Because just one's not enough For us to rise) So-called post racial USA has dipshits flying Confederate flags Toxic masculinity's so old it's nutsack is starting to sag So fragile even poly nonmon men could ask to spy then throw a fit You set the bar so low no wonder she's impressed with my dick Exaclty what did we get past? US, kiss my ass Politics is play Work not a single day (Bread and circus for good girls and boys, Who keep slaving away and suppress the noise) One of us falls down and hurts The pain we feel's the same And those above who scoff and spurn Treat our rights like it's a game It's our job to stand and fight For those kept in a cage And though I'll dance the night away I'll hold tight to my rage Because this generation, Fights for the nation This generation, Become an inspiration Break the walls down West Coast is burning And they don't care As long as the wheels keep on turning Our homes turned to ash Trump up Goya's ass Promoting snake oil While our oceans boil The top 1%'s content to try and escape to Mars But won't push funds to make an eco-battery electric car Epstein was allowed to die and dirty cops never serve any time Yet a black man can get 25 years on a marijuana peddling crime Stop that shoplifting Prez wants to be king Justice for the stores Stoke a new class war What's the use of free At cost of everything? Not what that word means Are you listening?

I look into the sky and see Millions of stars, they're glistening But they're to far for us to reach So they say Our Space Goddess doesn't need To show herself for your to believe The science facts they teach But somehow they find a way TO DENY Hey there, internet, it's 2009, And scientists are saying a lot of things I disagree with very much cuz I wanna see in black and white (instead of colors and shades of grey!) First off! Is their degree real or fake? It's a conspiracy, you dolts! Boy lemme tell you I did the math right And here's how that shit really works You gotta (IRON THE EARTH) Because we aren't a sphere in space (IRON THE EARTH) We're in God's special place! (IRON THE EARTH) If you found the edge then you would fall (IRON THE EARTH) If not for the giant ice wall (IRON THE EARTH, IRON THE EARTH) IRON THE EARTH) Where did your education fail you? You're a fuck but I'm concerned for your brain Even Nintendo when it flashed its Wii at us Showed the concept's not that insane Jesus still walks on water No matter the way it faced For the atheists why are other planets round And we're the one's out of place? *Hello, plane trotters, welcome to the FEIC, please check your globalism at the door, and be ready for our presenters* With my basic bitch beat kit I'll rap our gospel to the world! My name's Flat Earth Man, I have acoustic guitar And I will launch a rocket with my GoFundMe page, though it only has about two grand so far (then he fucking died) And I'm Mark Sargent, I'm your go-to guy, Viral star and everything general info, And over there is a lady selling flat earth models Even then each one is different and-I...uh, so? IRON THE EARTH IRON THE EARTH IRON THE EARTH IRON THE EARTH IRON THE EARTH IRON THE EARTH IRON THE EARTH IRON THE EARTH Why wouldn't a sphere be made with God's hands And gravity a perfect shape? And if one's a hoax and the earth stands alone Then start preserving our living space Cut greenhouse gasses down Rid the oval office of that racist orange clown But none of that matters as much as clout To feed your ego on shit you know jack about IRON THE EARTH IRON THE EARTH

Can't you see, what's bothering me? Family can't you see police brutality? People marched, they were shot You believe in Deep State conspiracy But somehow police state is not real Even after, the curfew was a blatant Abuse of police power Stop watching Fox, and go the fuck outside Stop watching Fox, and go the fuck outside If All Lives Matter, then that means Black Lives Go and meet these people that you're damning to hell Oh I'd like to believe in Christians again I'd like to believe in Christians again I'd like to believe But it's real hard when the people who raised you post the shit that's so racially charged, Rejecting real and firsthand news It's like they haven’t got a clue I know if God's watching from Heaven He's looking at you and shaking his head If you go down once round the bend It's cuz you sowed the seeds of hatred Can't you see, what's bothering us They violated the rights in which we trust And for what, just because A minority gets a voice you think they’re gonna come Kill us what a joke, unfounded hate And that same skin you fetishize is your Favorite thing to masturbate to Stop watching Fox, and go the fuck outside Stop watching Fox, and go the fuck outside If All Lives Matter, then that means Black Lives They already got the memo see for yourselves I'd like to believe in whitey again I'd like to believe in whitey again I'd like to believe But it's real hard when part of the nation eats up all this misinformation Posting links with the same source Screaming fake news until they're hoarse Which makes them easy prey for COVID Which is why they now wear the mask But whatever Trump tweets to his flock They'll bend over to lick his ass. I'd like to believe in humans again I'd like to believe in humans again I'd like to believe Californians you already know Why fireworks have been illegal West Coast didn't need your help burning, Adding 14 to the death tool To the makeup industry Colorism's hard enough day to day Without being criticized for Not wearing face when I can't find my shade To the guy who made the T&C for food stamps I just wanna talk Was denied on a 20$ tip It's for my cancer-stricken mom Even in my sex life fragile egos are Something hard to evade Even if I offer up my own They think I'm here just to invade I want to see more third parties Be legit instead of being clowns Because the divide in the two-bit system Brings the people down I'd like to believe in humans again I'd like to believe in humans again I'd like to believe in humans again I'd like to believe in humans again

about

Electronic Surf Punk Dance Music. This is another furious blend of punishing synths, wicked guitar, and powerful drum machines guised under political and social commentary. The album follows Skeleton James, who has possessed the shed skeleton of Tommy Apollo and summoned the Sea Witch, who sends a tidal wave of destruction over the city...
