Not For You 04:38
You're the perfect You're the great You're the humble You're the saint We've been lyin’ here And we've been sheddin’ tears You're the sun, you're the sun We'll revolve around the one Ordained by those in charge We see you sitting large God exists when I call Take what you want from all Back down and out of sight Cause this American dream Is not for you, it's not It's a lock on the box There's a bar on the door Back down and out of sight Cause this American dream Is not for you, it's not God forbid we live, Can’t afford to die All we have to give, No way to deny My eternal gift , Burning in my eyes All my thoughts adrift, Listen only lies It's a scam it's a sham Use a shell for a spell Use who I can trust Makin’ dollar boom or bust See my lawyer for the why Reframe it Then game it Then charge you interest In the name of God exists when I call Take what you want from all Back down and out of sight Cause this American dream Is not for you, it's not It's a lock on the box There's a bar on the door Back down and out of sight Cause this American dream Is not for you, it's not No apologies, Can’t apologize, Easy to believe, No way to disguise All that you receive, Tears the angels cry, Stricken with disease, All that you despise Burning in my brain, kill the beast inside, in this life of pain, suffer from your pride Gluttony and greed, All you can desire, Everything you need, then we all expire Red and blue states in a black and white world pay attention what you see is what you get The image of accomplishment is just an illusion urban quicksand never ending debt The resurrection of monoliths, where used to stand projects all familiar faces are gone Now there's paper millionaires looking like I don't belong in the city I was born this is wrong God exists when I call He told me yesterday Take what you want from all I'm busy anyway Back down and out of sight Cause this American dream Is not for you it's not It's a lock on the box It's what our parents prayed for There's a bar on the door We won't allow it anymore Back down and out of sight Cause this American dream Is not for you, it's not No apologies, Can’t apologize, Easy to believe, No way to disguise All that you receive, Tears the angels cry, Stricken with disease, All that you despise Burning in my brain, kill the beast inside, in this life of pain, suffer from your pride Gluttony and greed, All you can desire, Everything you need, then we all expire

Witnesses hypnotized, mental vacation, on coming back paralyzed Media prophesize, blankets of old lies, lobotomize Ubiquit-assimilate, altered status on visual stimulate Activate hate, triggered by the state, manipulate World what are we coming to, fuck are we gonna do Fear of the truth in the light, right in front of you, front of you Homelessness and mental illness are at an all-time high, It’s everywhere While deep pocketed politicians claim to change emissions, yeah right Promises promises, but they never follow through like I thought Does my vote really count, what are we gonna do, you tell me Perversions of quality, speak to the masses, dreams of equality, illusion of scarcity Security heresy, just a parody Divided and demonized, indoctrinate, education is socializing Now you may realize, blind eyes criminalizing World what are we coming to, fuck are we gonna do Fear of the truth in the light, right in front of you, front of you This is what’s happening, caught in a trap again Bank enforced terror, and paid politician Trying not to suffocate between a pandemic and the followers of a deranged puppet I can’t breathe Cause and effect, you try and they reject, and I’m this close to saying fuck it Fuck this shit, but what are we gonna do You tell me Socially engineered, opinions and fears, individual disappears Nobody volunteered, cognitive dissonance persevered Transhuman technocracy, empiricism, epistemic autocracy Fuck aristocracy, mental slavery, kakistocracy World what are we coming to, fuck are we gonna do Fear of the truth in the light, right in front of you, front of you, what is it

How many times can I tell you, how many ways can I say It's anybody’s guess why I’m so restless anyway How often will I be there, how often you are away Only little bit of time entwined every day They dare not whisper in her ears, given a taste she disappears To her I’ll always be in debt, they dare not whisper in their death No condemnation of her, the goddamned nature of her How many lives we are together, how many times we make mistakes Feel everybody’s pain, while you still maintain every day Whenever I feel you burning, whenever I hear you say Leave everything to chance circumstance and the game They dare not whisper in her ears, given a taste she disappears To her I’ll always be in debt, they dare not whisper in their death No condemnation of her, the goddamned nature of her I only want to be with you, always oh Money my love There’s nobody left that can express me to death draining blood Money love my soul salvation, in the world we go anyplace Try to understand, close at hand, packed suitcase They dare not whisper in her ears, given a taste she disappears To her I’ll always be in debt, they dare not whisper in their death No condemnation of her, the goddamned nature of her

The Baroness 03:14
Imbedded in wax and drained Fever and Scandalize And the Divas who leave us behind We give our hearts and we live again And the black and white and tender paste and prime And the soft warm tube of kindness And the Baroness laughed and passed across her last intention Feather touch of intervention, not to mention, not to mention, not to mention White naked comes in them, they are given people I won’t tell your secret, No I won’t tell your secret And the high-tension wires run right alongside of it And the faces on film and grain and traces wind up and slowly away And the Baroness laughed and passed across her last intention Feather touch of intervention, not to mention, not to mention, not to mention And it turns it’s head and shakes and spits Empress of human kindness turned in and on And the closed in reach out their arms and grasp For the plastic coated rip-cord cable To entertain the main attraction and explain Her accidental complication from the fear of separation Lacerations and incisions, fabricational indecisions and the visions And the Baroness laughed and passed across her last intenJon Feather touch of intervention, not to mention, not to mention, not to mention

about

Mordred San Francisco, California

Before Anthrax collaborated with Public Enemy, before Rage Against The Machine tore up the DNC convention, and before Limp Bizkit shredded Woodstock, there was a band called Mordred from the Bay Area of San Francisco, California that started it all.
