Only Human
03:23
|
|||
I see my mind, as something not set in stone
A lighter load when I’m home
The battle lines, deeper now every day
Serving those paid to play
Just as I only mean well
Babe they are only human
In a flash, redemption now not in vogue
The perfect storm for a rogue
Your blind faith, will eat your own and your foes
Short term gain, endless lows
Just as I only mean well
Babe they are only human

The Only Fight
03:06

The only fight
That will get a rise
Is the one that I have
Right behind my eyes
Whether day or night
Its the same old foe
But just like I said last night
You’re not alone
And when hearing it out loud we
Are overcome
Another one
With his talking points
War is peace round here
And the puppeteer
With his think tanks
Short term
Zero sum
But just like I said last night
You’re not alone
And when hearing it out loud we
Are overcome

Muggy Heat
02:55
|

Remember when we would sit around
Rest ourselves in the muggy heat
Finally some conversation
Worth our time and concentration
Not your toys to be thrown around
Surely you can understand
With our hands so tightly bound
Tired of the same demands
I love when we all sit around
Find ourselves a road to meet
Digging through the constitution
A million problems no solutions
Not your toys to be thrown around
Surely you can understand
With our hands so tightly bound
Tired of the same demands

Dirty Money
04:00
|

You are not the soul I once knew
Eaten up by dirty money
But I love you still
A price is on your will
I see it from an open doorway
You’re lost in the mirror most days
You are breaking down
But eager for your crown
If I was to speak my mind
Would you eat up inside
The moment I know
Forever I hold
And you take the well worn path
And with all the bumps you have
It’s the moments you crave
You cannot be saved
Sit and watch the curtain shifting
As the power keeps on moving
But my love is strong
And we keep fighting on
Take all of my cutthroat wisdom
For it will help you build your kingdom
Now the cracks gives light
And truth becomes a knife
You save you have outgrown me
But still want me here to shield
A horrible fight
You don’t have a side
So now time to make your bed
And shape how the truth is read
Your soul is on fire
With all your desire
Your soul is on fire
With all your desire

Maybe I work too hard
Maybe I've come too far
Maybe I work too hard
Maybe I've come too far
Will your hope please carry me through
My faith rests right here with you
This dream here we all got fed
Looks different now that you said
What I needed to hear
Maybe I work too hard
Maybe I’ve come too far
Maybe I work too hard
Maybe I’ve come too far
Will your hope please carry me through
My faith rests right here with you
This dream here we all got fed
Looks different now that you said
What I needed to hear
You don’t fit into the system that is closing in on you
You don’t fit into the system that is closing in on you
This complicated city life is bearing down on you
You don’t fit into the system that is closing in on you
Will your hope please carry me through
With your hope comes hopefully peace
Your hope brings hopefully peace
New hope come and carry me through

Where Hurt Began
03:07
|

Maybe I have found where your hurt began
And I can’t change the past but I know where you stand
So come on let me in
I am here for you
So come on let me in
Let me fight for you
Do not take the blame for their wretched games
Will you let me show a truth to help you grow
So come on let me in
I am here for you
So come on let me in
Let me fight for you
He heard their voices
Those of the desperate and humiliated
But they had their queen with a hollow message
Slave to the donors
A party of posers and pathetic pollsters
The youth will remember
And your days are numbered

Lift The Veil
03:44
|
|||
Come and peel a layer back with me
Give it a look
I’ll show you a truth
I know that I always was afraid
But now I have faith
That change awaits.
When are we all gonna fight for us
No more divide
No more sides
Can we really break free of the chains
Look at our lives
Look at their gains
No more pointless fights
No more left and right
Don’t you see
It’s what they need
It’s getting harder now for them
Its gonna harder now for them
And no convenient way to get a hold of the truth
There’s no convenient way to get a hold of the truth
Out of their hands
Out of their hands
The power
Out of their hands
The power
Out of their hands
Out of their hands

Tamper Brooklyn, New York
Tamper is like a good sandwich. The meat of the sandwich, the pastrami if you will, is John Gribbin's salt of the earth folk songs. Now this is all delivered to your ears via Aaron Barnard's off kilt grooves (the bread in this analogy). So then anyways, lastly, ya throw on some melty, analog, arpeggiated synths (the cheez) and then my friends, you've got a sambo! ... more
