Spiritual Unity
You've been around for too long
I’m taking it back to where it belongs
You've laid claim to what's not yours to keep
Dictating the rules and putting folks to sleep
Away from the conception of weak hearts
To a universal love inclusive of all
Away from ego games and bigotry
To a place of pure truth and reality
Lay down your bible
Lay down your gun
Yield to the light
Awaken to the one
You've been using it to serve your own ends
I’m taking that power out of your hands
Out of the church and away from your books
Down from the cross and into the woods
Away from tunnel vision and brutality
Wipe away differences and duality
The divided dissolve into totality
To spiritual unity and true equality
Lay down your bible
Lay down your gun
Yield to the light
Awaken to the one
Lay down your judgement
Lay down your hate
Experience the self
In its purest state

Hey Sis

Hey Sis
In no way am I perfect
But I want this to be known:
There's no question about
Whose side I’m on
Against the bastards who want to
Use and abuse you
Silence and reduce you
Harm and hurt you
Dominate and break you
Hey sis
We're together in this
Hey sis
They're just a bunch of dicks
Hey sis
It's you and me against the pricks
Hey sis
They're all full of shit
In no way am I faultless
There's work to be done
I hate what we've created
What men have become
Heartless idiots who want to
Lessen and diminish you
Belittle and ignore you
Bully and threaten you
Destroy and rape you
Hey sis
We're together in this
Hey sis
They're just a bunch of dicks
Hey sis
It's you and me against the pricks
Hey sis
They're all full of shit
Hey sis
It's you and me against the pricks
Hey sis
They're all full of shit
Under the thumb of control
Forced into bullshit gender roles
Manhood has fucked with your entire life
And yes, even with mine
With all of my heart
I hate their kind
In no way am I perfect
But I want this to be known:
There's no question about
Whose side i'm on
I will keep on fighting the enemy within
Until he's fucking gone
Until he’s fucking gone
Until he’s fucking gone
Until he’s fucking gone

Sweet Change
This eternal chain of events
Equal parts fate and intent
Guided by choice or chance
Decision or circumstance
The only rule of this game
Is that nothing ever stays the same
So loosen your fearful grip
Just let it go, let it slip
And sure it hurts
When buds burst
But it's all worth it in the end
Embrace the pain
It's only sweet change
Having its way with you again
This flux of evolution
From winter to summer revolution
The cosmos ever expanding
This is the rite of spring
The only constant
Is that nothing is constant
The only thing you can count on
Is that nothing can be counted on
And sure it hurts
When buds burst
But it's all worth it in the end
Embrace the pain
It's only sweet change
Having its way with you again

The Blue Bus
There's no difference really
Between you and me
I used to think there was
But that's another illusion lost
Fact is we're more alike than not
But I was angry so I just plain forgot
That you do what you can do with what you've got
And no one is truly free
Until we’re all free
I hear you talking
But I stone cold disagree
That's ok, it's human nature
At least that's what Sullivan told me
As I ride on the blue bus
I see we all do whatever we must
Moving along like marionettes
Right into the traps that have been set
Get tangled up, caught in the net
Did you ever question anything except
How much money you would get?
And no one is truly free
Until we’re all free
I hear you talking
But I stone cold disagree
That's ok, it's human nature
At least that's what Sullivan told me
We're all so busy running around
Tiny little ants so earthbound
And when I’m on the pavement
Yeah, I’m thinking about the government
I saw someone had written "be the change"
I’m glad they see things my way

Monolith
Bow down to your master
The reigning high priest
Kneel before your king
An exploitative beast
Polished gleaming machinery
Clean front with a glossy sheen
There's never enough thievery
Always taking more than he needs
Obey and submit
Behold the monolith
Just do the math
He’s a psychopath
Just another day at the office
The buying and selling of lives
Isolate and destroy
The business of organized crime
Completely devoid of morality
A machine blind for all to see
No conscience or accountability
The bottom line stipulates endless greed
Obey and submit
Behold the monolith
Just do the math
He’s a psychopath
Everything's a commodity
Even human beings
Chalk up the death toll
To progress and growth

Space Is the Program
One night when the machines were quiet
I laid down to hear the hum of the cooling earth
A message implicit in the silence:
Space is the program
Stockholm is the problem
And the two will merge
Unifying heaven and earth
East and west
High and low
Mountain top and street below
Come together
Soul and ego
There is still so much to know
One day when the lights were shining
I got up in the morning to tread the heating soil
A transmission from the center heart:
Space is the program
Ego is the problem
And the healing will occur
In unifying heaven and earth
East and west
High and low
Mountain top and street below
Come together
Soul and ego
There is still a place to go

Vultures
I can feel them out there making their moves
Shady handshake deals in dimly lit back rooms
Strings being pulled by unseen hands
Hear them laughing all the way to the bank
Predatory opportunists
Vulture capitalists
Business vampires
Consumer society evil empire
A gangster bankers scheme
An executives wet dream
Business vampires
Consumer society evil empire
Far away from the public eye
Undercover where no one may pry
Media in their pocket and on their side
Kept secret by mouths all shut wide
The vested interest in the status quo
The politician will obey the ceo
Clandestine covert operation
All hail the almighty corporation
Predatory opportunists
Vulture capitalists
Business vampires
Consumer society evil empire
A gangster bankers scheme
An executives wet dream
Business vampires
Consumer society evil empire

Bullet Holes In the Mirror of My Mind
Illuminated by a harsh light
Bright as day and pitch black
Can't escape the awful sight
Of the glaringly obvious facts
All the fucked up things I have said
All the fucked up things I have done
Everyone I hurt
Every wrong word
Self-loathing and shame
Constantly mortified
I’ve got bullet holes
In the mirror of my mind
Haunted by the pain i've caused
Wanna forget but there's just no way
The damage done, I remember it all
On repeat over and over in my brain
All the fucked up things I have said
All the fucked up things I have done
Everyone I hurt
Every wrong word
Self-loathing and shame
Constantly mortified
I’ve got bullet holes
In the mirror of my mind
Self-disgust and guilt
Every day all of the time
I’ve got bullet holes
In the mirror of my mind
Illuminated by a harsh light
Bright as day and pitch black
Can't escape the awful sight
Of the glaringly obvious facts
Self-loathing and shame
Constantly mortified
I’ve got bullet holes
In the mirror of my mind
Self-disgust and guilt
Every day all of the time
I’ve got bullet holes
In the mirror of my mind
I’ve got bullet holes
In the mirror of my mind

Western Stupid
Vile beyond compare
Civilized beyond redemption
Evolved past common sense
To the point of extinction
As nasty as we wanna be
With non-belief as belief
Locked in material thinking
Dead set on foolish greed
I just wish evil wasn't so evil
And the hurt didn't hurt so bad
I wish we weren't so western stupid
I wish I wasn’t so western stupid
Obsessed with objects and gain
An organism at war with itself
It's not gonna dull the pain
This alienation from ourselves
Impressed by flash and surface
Trapped by the commerce of no choice
We worship the shallow superfluous
Empty barrels goddamn noise
I just wish evil wasn't so evil
And the hurt didn't hurt so bad
I wish you weren't so western stupid
I wish I wasn't so western stupid
