At The Gates

At The Gates

 

Achilles is knocking on your golden door                             

Helen is simply a goodlooking whore                                   

Homer is telling Bad Bart please no more                             

Who are the barbarians I’m no longer sure                           

 

At the gates you can come out or in

At the gates they bargain for your sin

At the gates nobody wins

At the gates it’s where life begins

 

Global warming is looking real these days

The rich man eats while the poor man pays

Obliterate, obliterate Doctor Who returns

Minimum wage is an outrage that burns

 

At the gates you can come out or in

At the gates they bargain for your sin

At the gates nobody wins

At the gates it’s where life begins

 

Samantha Stargazer is moving on up

George Bush still ain’t peeing in the cup

Blue this line is for you and Edgar too

I’d steal a chorus verse that’s what I’ll do

 

At the gates you can come out or in

At the gates they bargain for your sin

At the gates nobody wins

At the gates it’s where life begins

 

Androgena five is alive and she’s wearing shades in the night

They say we’re fighting for freedom now ain’t that a delight

Back to Troy let’s not annoy their joy with a wooden horse

We didn’t catch any fish so seaweed was served for the main course

 

Hell is real I can feel it in your soul

Why are we fighting for total control

Crappy Tech only cares about the bottom line

I’m dreaming of something that ain’t mine

 

At the gates you can come out or in

At the gates they bargain for your sin

At the gates nobody wins

At the gates it’s where life begins

I Shall Rise

I Shall Rise

 

Meat and bones dollars and cents he takes a chance                         

Here’s a dollar baby do you do more than dance?                            

Sparkling eyes tomorrow dies in yes and no                                     

Let’s make the trick quick I gotta do a show                                    

 

I’ve been cheated by men full of greed

They take and take but have no need

But I shall rise you can’t keep me down

I shall rise you can’t deny my crown

 

My past of a fool fuels the rocket to fly

I declare beware I ain’t gonna take a lie

Look hear mister I got my fighting shoes on

Have no sad tear sweet sister my life ain’t gone

 

I’ve been cheated by men full of greed

They take and take but have no need

But I shall rise you can’t keep me down

I shall rise you can’t deny my crown

 

On La Rue Avenue there’s a comic store

Batman and the Joker fight in eternal war

Can you sleep at night sir that’s the real score?

It’s easy to get high but it’s hard to soar

 

I’ve been cheated by men full of greed

They take and take but have no need

But I shall rise you can’t keep me down

I shall rise you can’t deny my crown

 

Scum of the Earth Jesus died for you

What is your worth one and one is two

The calculus of capitalism is pain

Like a crook you took from the insane

Let me explain you’re a carnal crook vain

 

There’s a cop waiting to stop your red corvette

You’re a real prince but even the kings regret

I’m going in the dungeon to find my gold

Life is a tale and the future’s still untold

 

I’ve been cheated by men full of greed

They take and take but have no need

But I shall rise you can’t keep me down

I shall rise you can’t deny my crown

Endless Ambition

 Endless Ambition

 FAWM  # 29 

Just in and she got up and walked out the door

Read the bulletin she ain’t working here no more

Got a job with the city looking pretty

Good pay he says but Lord ain’t it a pity

 

Endless ambition find it all around

Endless ambition dig that funky sound

We buried Joyce today God forgive her sin

She was a good woman endless ambition

 

We’re multiplying life’s an exponential function

Texas engineers building jet bombers for destruction

Here I am stuck on level three fighting a troll

Look Jack he got a big sack hope it’s full of gold

 

Endless ambition find it all around

Endless ambition dig that funky sound

We buried Joyce today God forgive her sin

She was a good woman endless ambition

 

I would have sold out but they said you’re asking for too much

The price on the bill if you will was a good woman with tender touch

Joyce is taking a tour of those mansions of glory

Heaven and hell but do you know the real story?

 

Little angels slowly losing their innocence

Sophie’s crying because life makes no sense

I want to touch their souls show them love

Cryptic Egyptian fractions I’m thinking of

 

Endless ambition find it all around

Endless ambition dig that funky sound

We buried Joyce today God forgive her sin

She was a good woman endless ambition

 

At the repass the woman elder had zero class

Reciting banal poetry oh Lord let me pass

Meanwhile with a smile zero the hero scores

It’s a simple equation of money attracts whores.

 

Endless ambition find it all around

Endless ambition dig that funky sound

We buried Joyce today God forgive her sin

She was a good woman endless ambition
