your name is big brother

you say that you got me all in your notebook,
writing it down everyday,
your name is i'll see ya,
i'll change if you vote me in as the pres,
the president of your soul

i find it hard to believe that we can spend $231 billion on a war that we started out of our own selfish interests but we can't get 13 west virginia miners out of the ground within 2 days? are we that strapped for resources? what if haliburton's board of trustees were trapped in a coal mine?


"they caught the last poor man
flying away in a shiny red cape
and they brought him down to the station
and they said 'boy you should know better
than to try and escape'
and i ran away with the circus
'cause there's still some honest work left for bearded ladies
but it's not the same goin' town to town
since they put everyone in jail 'cept
the cleavers and the bradys

and my country tis of thee
to take swings at each other on talk show tv
why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun
'cause we'll never live long enough to
undo everything they've done to you"
