There Is Power In A Union - Lyrics - Billy Bragg

Title: There Is Power In A Union
Artist: Billy Bragg
Composer(s): Billy (Arr) Bragg

Lyric:
There is power in a factory, power in the land
Power in the hands of a worker
But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand
There is power in a union

Now the lessons of the past were all learned with workers blood
The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for
From the cities and the farmlands to trenches full of mud
War has always been the bosses way, sir

The union forever defending our rights
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite
With our brothers and our sisters from many far off lands
There is power in a union

Now I long for the morning that they realize
Brutality and unjust laws can not defeat us
But who'll defend the workers, who cannot organize
When the bosses send their lackies out to cheat us?

Money speaks for money, the devil for his own
Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone
What a comfort to the widow, a light to the child
There is power in a union

The union forever defending our rights
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite
With our brothers and our sisters, together we will stand
There is power in a union

Serpentine - Lyrics - Evolve - Ani Difranco

Title: Serpentine
Album: Evolve
Artist: Ani Difranco
Composer(s): Ani Difranco

Lyric:
Pavlov hits me with more bad news
Every time I answer the phone
So I play and I sing and I just let it ring
All day when I'm at home

A de facto choice of macro
Or microcosmic melancholy
But, baby, any way you slice it
I'm thinkin' I could just as soon use the time alone

Yes, the goons have gone global
And the CEO's are shredding files
And the [unverified] and the republic rats
Are flashing their toothy smiles

And Uncle Tom is posing for a photo op with the Oval Office clan
And Uncle Sam is rigging cockfights in the Promised Land
And that knife you stuck in my back is still there
It pinches a little when I sigh and moan
And these days I'm thinkin' I could just as soon use the time alone

'Cuz all the wrong people have the power of suggestion
And the freedom of the press is meaningless
If nobody asks a question, I mean, causation by definition
Is such a complex compilation of factors

That to even try, to say why, is to oversimplify
But that's a far cry, isn't it, dear?
From acting like you're the only one there
Unrepentantly self-centered and unfair

Enter all suckers scrambling for the scoop
Exit Mr. Eye Contact who took his flirt and flew the coop
But whatever, no matter, no fishin' trips, no fishin'
'Cuz Mamma's officially out of commission

And did I mention in there somewhere
Did I mention somewhere in there that I traded Babe Ruth?
Yes, I traded the only player that was bigger than the game
And I can't even tell you why 'cuz you'd think I'm insane
And that's the truth

And the music industry mafia is pimping girl power
Sniping off their sharpshooter singles from their Styrofoam towers
And hip-hop is tied up in the back room with a logo stuffed in it's mouth
'Cuz the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house

But then I'm getting away from myself
As I get closer and closer to home
And these days I'm thinkin'
I could just as soon use the time alone

An' I must admit, today, my inner pessimist
Seems to have got the best of me
We start out sugared up on Kool-aid and manifest destiny
And we memorize all the president's names like little trained monkeys

And then we're spit into the world
So many spiny-eyed TV junkies
Incapable of unraveling the military industrial mystery
Preemptively pacified with history book history

An' I've been around the world now
And I can see this about America
The mind control is steep here, man
The myopia is deep here

And behold, those that try to expose the reality
Who really try to realize democracy
Are shot with rubber bullets and gassed off the streets
While the global power brokers are kept clean and discreet
Behind a wall, behind a moat and that is all, that's all she wrote

An' my heart beats an [unverified]
'Cuz folks just couldn't care, care, care, less, less, less
As long as every day is Super Bowl Sunday
And larger than life women in lingerie
Are pouting at us from every bus stop
She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not

And "Big government should not stand between a man and his money"
'Cuz "What's good for business is good for the country"
Our children still take that lie like communion
The same old line the confederacy used on the union

Conjugate liberty into libertarian and medicate it
Associate it with deregulation, privatization
We won't even know we're slaves on a corporate plantation
Somebody say hallelujah, somebody say damnation

'Cuz the profit system follows the path of least resistance
And the path of least resistance
Is what makes the river crooked
Makes it serpentine

Capitalism is the devil's wet dream
So just give me my Judy Garland drugs and let me get back to work
'Cuz the Empire State building is the tallest building in New York
And I always got the feeling you just liked to hear it fall off your tongue

But I remember my name in your mouth
And I don't think I was done hearing it close to my ear
On a whispers way to a moan
But Pavlov hits me with more bad news every time I answer the phone
So I play and I sing and I just let it ring all day when I'm at home

A de facto choice of macro or microcosmic melancholy
But, baby, any way you slice it
I'm thinkin' I could just as soon use
The time alone

Hold At All Costs - Lyrics - The Glorious Burden - Iced Earth

Title: Hold At All Costs
Album: The Glorious Burden
Artist: Iced Earth
Composer(s): Jon Schaffer

Lyric:
Just a mile or so away
Is my dearest friend in this world
He wears the blue and I, the grey
And God, it hurts me so

The last time we were together
I grabbed his hand and I pledged
If I ever draw my sword on you
May the good Lord strike me dead

The union flank's in trouble
To the round top on the double
A bad decision, insubordination
Exposed our line in a dangerous way

The burden lies upon us
Surrender is not an option
We are the flank and if we break
The union crumbles, we could lose the war

Down below's the carnage
The rebels charging onward
Push the slaughter forward, the peach orchard
Through the wheat field and devil's den

The valor of the Texans
And Alabama's best men
They're unrelenting and devastating
The last full measure of devotion's clear

We'll know what we're made of
When up against all odds, we hold our line
For the cause that we so love
We must hold at all costs

We'll know what we're made of
When our nation needs us
We'll stay the course for the union we so love
We must hold at all costs

Wave after wave, they are coming
Their power must be waning
We're out of ammo, we can't fall back, no
A desperate measure, a means to end

On their next wave, we charge them
There is no other option
Disconcert them, force submission
On my command, fix bayonets

We'll know what we're made of
When up against all odds, we hold our line
For the cause that we so love
We must hold at all costs

We'll know what we're made of
When our nation needs us
We'll stay the course for the union we so love
We must hold at all costs

We'll know what we're made of
(The burden lies with us)
When up against all odds, we hold our line
(We can't fail)
(For the cause that we so love)
For the cause that we so love
We must hold at all costs

We'll know what we're made of
(With courage in our hearts)
When our nation needs us, we'll stay the course
(We won't fail)
(For the union we so love)
For the union we so love
We must hold at all cost

Regular Girl - Lyrics - Sex Style - Kool Keith

Title: Regular Girl
Album: Sex Style
Artist: Kool Keith
Composer(s): Kurt Matlin, Keith Thornton

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Yo Money
Yeah, whassup Kool Keith?
Yo, that girl Kadiva gon' come to your house with blonde hair and boots
Tell her rent a cheap room on Sunset Boulevard for $16.95
I ain't tryin' to get no Medrian no Marriott or all that higher stuff
Yo, we can go on cheaper man
I know somethin' for like $10.99 man
It's a hotel with roaches in it and everything
It's almost near skid row

Buttnaked! Girls walk Sunset with they ass out
I start Cadillacs with suits, wear my mask out
With brims tilted, I finger pop the whole block
Make freaks wear wigs, and put the rubbers on my cock

You see me out there, with big balls like Rosie Grier
Players cream, I pull panties out your wet dreams
Get deep in cracks, and wash 'em out like Mr. Clean
Bring your Massengil, the public think I'm very ill

Like Jimmy Z, posin' naked for the FCC
I'm not no basketball star, your girl watch me pee
Clock me like cops, every time my sperm drops
She's in my face with thongs, chewin' lollipops

I'll hit that butt on the low, just like Monica
Play three tunes and let her blow on my harmonica
I'm out here, you rollin' fake in Union Square
I'll make you go blond, brunettes runnin' down they hair

Regular girl, is so boring
(Get out my face)
Regular girl, you never turn me on
(Work the latex)
Regular girl, is so boring
(Get out my face)
Regular girl, you never turn me on
(Work the latex)

You saw my porno flick, nutsacs banged up on your TV
Your girl pulled her panties off real quick, tryin' to see me
She wants an autograph, a part with my anal staff
You scream test for AIDS, stretch marks make me laugh

Sign your contracts for Willie, smoke a big Phillie
I'm too old for young girls, gigglin' actin' silly
I'm Sugar Daddy, your aunt gon' be worried duke
Your moms at my hotel, her bra is real cute

Dressed in G-strings, she's scopin' me, eatin' fruit
She licked my balls, I came like Niagara Falls
Brought her tittes to Prince show instead of Lou Rawls
Her pelvis grind, she smile show me pantylines

I'll smack that butt, the pro spank at different times
Like Max kind of hardcore it's on the dirty floor
Make you scream for stiff rods, you don't want no more
Penetration, I don't do that on your menustration

I want movies back, you smile, addin' lubrication
You know your steelo, orgies doin' three people
Kodak action, Black Tail, butt satisfaction
You lookin' good sweet cheeks

Regular girl, is so boring
(Get out my face)
Regular girl, you never turn me on
(Work the latex)
Regular girl, is so boring
(Get out my face)
Regular girl, you never turn me on
(Work the latex)

I turned the Lakers off, you can't stop my afterparty
A fifth of vodka and latex, drink your Bacardi
I serve it well through tubes and watch your rectum swell
Service your clits with steel, machines keep it real

Got that ramrod, that's pumpin' through your back hard
You be seein' cum stains on Sunset Boulevard
My rubber send streaks and heels off your girl's feets
You not psychedelic wimp, I'm still your girl's pimp

That's part interest, magnificent, mind power
I got nuts that clean kill, let me take my shower
Wash off my pubic and let the females do my nails
Watch naked legs in chairs and enter soft tails
Wear stockin' caps with maps and shoft for soft cracks

Lift off your hairpeace, while milk squirts up on your weave
You know my skin needs butter, your cheeks are popcorn
I get deep, go run in butt like the unicorn

Rodeo anus banger, quick with the middle finger
Her tampons drop down between her Maxi
I left tips for cocked up legs in the taxi
Yo, take her home cab driver, here's her panties

Regular girl, is so boring
(Get out my face)
Regular girl, you never turn me on
(Work the latex)
Regular girl, is so boring
(Get out my face)
Regular girl, you never turn me on
(Work the latex)

State Of The Union - Lyrics - Chicago V - Chicago

Title: State Of The Union
Album: Chicago V
Artist: Chicago
Composer(s): Robert William Lamm

Lyric:
I was talking 'bout the state of the union
How there's no one now in power thinking of me
I was saying how we ought to try to fix it
Find a leader who is not afraid to be

Then a voice came out of the darkness
Saying "Tear the system down"
Tear it down

I was thinking 'bout how that was very crazy
And I tried to find a way to tell him so
But when I did I used a word that was quite nasty
How the policeman heard me man I'll never know

Then a voice came out of the darkness
Saying "Tear the system down"
Tear it downdown to the ground

I was wrestled of to one side of the theater
And they said I'd have to go right to jail
They don't permit coarse language in their city
But they did accept a large amount of bail

Then a voice came out of the darkness
Saying "Tear the system down"
Tear it downdown to the ground

Go Down Witch, Down - Lyrics - The Tossers

Title: Go Down Witch, Down
Artist: The Tossers
Composer(s): Anthony David Broderick, Aaron Lee Duggins, Anthony J Duggins, Clayton Hansen, Rebecca Brooke Manthe, Michael Pawula, Patrick Daniel Shaw

Lyric:
So go down witch, go down
Go down witch, go down

For tho' you are my sister
And although you are my mother
And my cousin and my lover
Go down witch, go down

For you will not stay in servitude
Your insolence is vile and rude
You shun the work you're given less my round
When monogamy is practical for work and socialization
You will stand to subjugation or go down

So go down, Arawak, down
Go down, black man, down

For you are not my father
Or my uncle, or my mother
Or my sister, or my brother
Just go down, Arawak, down

Well, Columbus told Spain there was gold here
But you've not produced enough
So we'll send you back as slaves to fund our rounds
And black man you won't bend
And you incite the white servants and slaves to riot
Let laws and literature separate you and keep you down, down

Go down witch, go down
Go down witch, go down, down down

So go down, American Nisei, go down
Go down, American Japanese, go down

World War Two, Yanks are sending home
Japanese skulls to their girlfriends
No interest in stopping a racist world power at all
And that's why they're so late in the war
'Til the Japs threatened their Chinese recourse
No head was sent from one German, went down
And not one A-bomb was dropped on Europe, see

So go down to Guantanamo, go down

For although you were our partners
No now you are not our brothers
Or our fathers, or our mothers
So go down witch, go down

When the VP's very own Halliburton
They reap billions in owlish benefits
Different cultures are deemed inferior when profitable
And if racism is not natural, it's the result of certain conditions
The fact that laws had to be passed to forbid
Relations between blacks and whites shows
The strength of the tendency to be in union

So go down witch, go down
Go down witch, go down, down go
Go down witch, go down
So go down witch, go down
