You ask me how I’m doing
I say I’m doing fine
you wanna know how I’m doing
You know that I am lying
I’m not fine
My nerves are on the outside
We’re not fine
We all want to hide
I’m not fine
The boots are marching
Crushing hope beneath the sole
The devil’s grinning
Waiting patient for ya soul
The people shouting, screaming
Wanting, needing To be heard
Signs with slogans repeating
But actions speak louder than words
I’m not fine
My nerves are on the outside
We’re not fine
We all want to hide
I’m not fine
BRIDGE
The people running
Like cattle through the gate
The gunners gunning
Riddling bodies with their hate
I’m not fine
My nerves are on the outside
We’re not fine
We all want to hide
I’m not fine
You ask me how I’m doing
I say I’m doing fine
you wanna know how I’m doing
MAN, You know that I am lying
I’m not fine
My nerves are on the outside
We’re not fine
We all want to hide
I’m not fine

No Justice, no peace
No Justice, no peace
Think about the world we’re living in
I can’t breathe, I wanna scream
No justice, no love
No help from, above
Think about the world we’re living in
I wanna push, I wanna shove
I’m not sure if it’s the moment we’ve been waiting for
I’m not sure about the movement but this is war, this is so much more

Corky - Strangest Days

Strangest Days
The way the sun is shining diamonds in the trees
The world is on vacation I can feel it in the breeze
The wind it whispers tears fall down from a freshly fallen rain
The shadows form a silhouette of a freshly-made disdain
These have to be the strangest days
The shock opinion news that comes in waves
The color's bold and the streets are mean
These are the strangest days I've ever seen.
A glass of wine which carries me to a place that's far away
It introduces words that I’d otherwise not say
The jasmine blooms the candles lit the wild and dancing flame
Reminds me of the bird that flies and doesn't know my name.
These have to be the strangest days
The shock opinion news that comes in waves
The color's bold and the streets are mean
These are the strangest days I've ever seen.
The dark emblazoned callous kale that learns from every wave
To live to hope another day for treasures it may crave
Twenty seven years to live would have been just fine
To give yourself a great headstart to live another time
These have to be the strangest days
The shock opinion news that comes in waves
The color's bold and the streets are mean
These are the strangest days I've ever-- seen.

Did I wait too long
to open up my mouth
Have I sung a hushed song when I
should’ve had a shout
Cause there’s a time to fly above
the smoke and wreckage
Some were born to pull that pin
Harder still to realize
When silence is the deeper sin
You don’t get to be angry this time
It’s not your turn to kick your heels
It ain’t the time to point your finger
Or bitch about the way you feel
You don’t get to be angry this time
It’s your turn to keep your mouth shut
This act, the spotlight’s not on you, dear
You weren’t the one who felt the cut
You weren’t the one who felt the cut
You can fly your flag
Next time you take the hit
But what the world needs now
Is one less hypocrite
And I don’t how you got here
In the first place
They oughta check ID’s
If they knew who you
thought you were
They’d have you on your knees
You don’t get to be angry this time
It’s not your turn to kick your heels
It ain’t the time to point your finger
Or bitch about the way you feel
You don’t get to be angry this time
It’s your turn to keep your mouth shut
This act, the spotlight’s not on you, dear
You weren’t the one who felt the cut
You weren’t the one who felt the cut
You weren’t the one who felt the cut

George Smith - Unplug
02:28
|
|||
Don on the mask and walk the streets
Fingers locked inside the palm, language indiscreet
Rhythm of footsteps ripple in corners undisturbed
United Division of the deeply perturbed
I’m betting on robots and aliens
To take us all away
Or Rapture to pasture all of those who repent
can’t believe there’s a problem of different pigment
Heritage not hate seemed like a sound debate
But well into the well of 2020 hell
heritage will be down the hall from the Holocaust museum
I need a drink. I need to turn this thing off.
Unplug.
