Capitalismo


Well, you came here with nothing And thats how you go.
No money, no cars or no fancy cloths.
There were tears when you got here, and tears when you leave.
And I don't know much, But this I believe.

The truth that I'm telling aint easy to hear.
So tell all your children to cover there ears.
Tell my sweethearts parents this might be the end.
For this is the tension the break in the bend.

I aint no lawyer or no doctors son.
I may never have money, and I live on the run. 
But I'm not running from the truth,or my past.
I'm running towards something new.

The songs that I'm singing, wont make a dime.
And that is the reason I wrote them this time.
 Cause you cant take it with you when you meet your end.
Ask my grandpa and my brother they'll tell you my friend.
Ask my grandpa and my brother they'll tell you my friend.

And if I die with nothing, I have all I need.
Like family and friends, Not financial greed.
In most peoples eyes I've cheated myself. 
But love cant be bought with any kings wealth.
 No, love cant be bought with any kings wealth.

The holiday song (some Christians are Nazis)


Happy fourth of July everyone, 
I hope the BBQ and beer treat you right.
I heard that freedom, Isn't really free.
That doesn't mean it okay to kill other people,
Because they come from different blood than you.
And please don't think that jesus wants you to, 
kill other people cause there Muslim.

Merry Christmas everyone.
I hope your all warm and cozy in you house.
Its not the kids fault, that their dad went to jail.
And its not their fault there is no food in the house.
And santa clause doent visit there part of town.
and i heard a man once say that the last shall be first.
 unless he only meant for white christians.

Happy Easter sunday Everyone.
I think you all look really great in your new shirts.
I wonder if the kid that made it got a new shirt too.
And i wander if he ever learned how to read and write,
 or if he has running water in his house. 
 I wonder if his mom and dad are proud of his work,
or if they died making last seasons fashions. 

Hey there sweetheart I've got news for you,
I had a talk with your dad last night.
 So I went out and got you this diamond ring. 
It came from a slave mine in Africa,
where people dont have the choice to leave. 
The man in the mine, works under gun point.
 But I bought so that I can say I love you, 
and I bought it so that I can say I care, 
and I bought it so that I can get inside your pants, 
and I buy everything because I'm  an American.

Who's got the keys


Tell me who's got the keys to salvation, 
Who's singing songs for the weak.
 Where does a man leave his soul when he sleeps, 
do you have any answers for me?

Am I the only one that wants to throw it all away,
is it good enough to do your best.
What do I do with all of these questions that I have, 
like can g-d heal this pain in my chest.

Does everyone turn into something that they hate,
is it just the friends that I had.
Am I scared to death of growing old myself.
Should I just give thanks and be glad.

Should I turn into something that I'm not,
is that just what everyone does.
Can I live my life free from this fear? 
And just be myself just because.

On the move


Well I took all that money I had saved in the bank, 
and I burned it all with gasoline the economies to thank.
 I'm on the Move
Hallelujah I'm on the move
 Don't need much where Im going and I don't need much right here.
 I'm on the move.

I sold all my records to the local record store,
 I made just under ninety bucks I needed ninety more.
 I'm on the move
Hallelujah I'm on the move
I don't know where Im going , and I don't know where I'll stay 
I'm on the move.

I thought it was important to have things of my own,
But most people with everything are living all alone.
I'm on the move
Hallelujah I'm on the move
Just throw me on a freight car, and I'll be on my way
I'm on the move.

This place that I was born, it really aint my home.
The place that I am going means I'll never be alone 
I'm on the move
Hallelujah Im on the move 
The place where I am going is gonna be my home 
Im on the move

Old timey band


I want to play in an old timey band, and I want to be a guy that says what he means.
I want to sing out of tune and get praised for it, and i want to life in the back the van.
I think that we should get our drinks for free, and I feel the door man should have to leave.
And I still  think it unfair to be seventeen , and not hear the bands that you came hear to see.

But I'm just another person that wishes And I'm just another person that dreams.
And I'm just trying to make sense out of all of this, 
before everything changes and we forget what it means.

I want to play in an old timey band.and I want to be a guy that sings really good. 
 I want to hear singing go all through the croud, that shatters the windows and splinters the wood.

And I want to hear fathers that care for their children,
And I want to hear mothers that act modestly.
I want to hear leaders that care for their people, 
And I want to hear people just like you and me. 

But I can't seem to see past the smoke and the mirrors.
 That blinds me and chokes me and blackens my soul.
So if I die crawling out of this room tonight,
 Please sing me this song at my funeral.

 I'm just another person that wishes, and i'm just another person that dreams.
And I'm just trying to make sense out of all of this, 
before everything changes and we forget what it means.

I want to play in an old timey Band






An end to everything


The end of your rope means different things to different people,
Why can't they all just mean the same.
I can't tell you why things are the way they are, 
So don't expect me to explain.

I hear the grass is greener on the other side,
but I aint ever been over there.
 Why can't you just be happy where you're at,
 and live you life with out a care.

There must be an end to everything,
I just haven't found it yet.
Does it get easier as you grow old,
 It probably never will I bet.

Im have'n a hard time turning 26, I feel my youth slipping away.
And I hope the man i always want to be, won't laugh at me for dying of old age.

Some times I want to build a pipe bomb,
and blow up a corporate clothing store.
Other times I wish That I had half the courage, 
to learn to love my enemies more.

There must be an end to everything,
I just haven't found it yet.
Does it get easier as you grow old,
 It probably never will I bet.

Jesus I hope you're rally com in, spring Is coming and i feel so cold.
 I could really use some conversation, If I'm not being too bold. 

There must be an end to everything,
I just haven't found it yet.
Does it get easier as you grow old,
 It probably never will I bet.

2nd edition for the new record

After a long long long summer of touring the United states and Canada I am so happy to say I had such a great time with all of you! From all the wonderful bands I had the opportunity to play with, to all of the folks who made it out to the shows. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, for all of your support, kindness, and hospitality.
Now that Im home I got a lot of work to do to prepare for the fall and winter seasons of touring and shows. Today I'm printing NEW Vinyl record covers for "you work so hard just to be like everyone else" This summer was great for record collectors, Meaning I dont have any of the first edition covers left and have to re print new ones! Thanks again to all of you who picked one up!
