____Enemy of the People____
Welcome to the press briefing today
I've got something to say that you'd all love to report
but we're sealing off the West Wing
so we can do our own thing.
See the church, see the steeple
All those outside are the enemies of the people!
We spoke to Putin just this morning
Today's the day of a new world dawning
Gonna drop those bombs til the blue states are gone!
See the church, see the steeple
All those outside are the enemies of the people!
You say Black Lives Matter
I say Anti-matter!
They've all got to go in the radioactive glow!
Those who are left will know who's boss
Hitch your wagon to this orange faced hoss!
INTERLUDE
(spoken) It's a dark time in the Republic. Things aren't going so well. But it's going to be okay. We've got a real tough guy in charge now and he wants to have his hands on all the triggers, but there's too many generals and admirals in the way. So we're getting a new 6th branch of the military under one man. The Cheeto in charge, the C.I.C.
____Space Force_____
So you're too weak you got turned down by the Corps
Your allergies and scoliosis bought you a ticket for so much more!
You'll be a silver bird over the heads of our enemies
your crippled hands hold the swords of Damocles.
It's always dark and it's always light
And when you're always alone, you're always right!
And you can't fight
Space Force!
It's always dark and it's always light
And when you're always alone, you're always right!
And you can't fight
Space Force!
Sad and lonely you never got chosen
Now you'll show the world America's atomic explosion
It's always dark and it's always light
And when you're always alone, you're always right!
And you can't fight
Space Force!
It's always dark and it's always light
And when you're always alone, you're always right!
And you can't fight
Space Force!
Space Force is a magical unit.
A place for the creeps and the rest.
But know that one day you will march among the ashes of our best.
It's always dark and it's always light
And when you're always alone, you're always right!
And you can't fight
Space Force!
It's always dark and it's always light
And when you're always alone, you're always right!
And you can't fight
Space Force!
It is indeed a very dark time in the Republic,
but there is a new hope!
Have you ever noticed that Bernie Sanders looks a lot like Yoda?
Space Force!

____Welcome to Wilmington___
Welcome to Wilmington, see our sewage plant and prison
Dead animals, pharma factories, church sign says "He is risen."
Flew into Wilmington and what's that smell?
This cute little town is going to hell!
Welcome to Wilmington, won't you visit me?
From our shining river to our sparkling sea.
Welcome to Wilmington, won't you visit me?
From our filthy river to our frothing sea!
Welcome to Wilmington. Enjoy the beer, but don't drink the water!
Higher ed is big business now, with CFCC and the W,
but all these college kids want to do is get drunk and screw!
Wilmington's a great place if you wanna buy a bed,
But if you shoot junk here, you'll wind up dead.
Welcome to Wilmington, won't you visit me?
From our shining river to our sparkling sea.
Welcome to Wilmington, won't you visit me?
From our filthy river to our frothing sea!
Welcome to Wilmington. Enjoy the beer, but don't drink the water!
The politicians and developers here are in cahoots
They're modern day pirates in their seersucker suits.
They're building new condos and malls for the rich among us,
Mayfair was Parker Farm where we collected fungus!
Welcome to Wilmington, won't you visit me?
From our shining river to our sparkling sea.
Welcome to Wilmington, won't you visit me?
From our filthy river to our frothing sea!
Welcome to Wilmington. Enjoy the beer, but don't drink the water!
Yeehaw!

Driving While Black

___Driving While Black___
Sitting in prison wondering how I got here
I made a deadly mistake out of fear
I put 8 bullets in a good man's back
his fatal crime was driving while black
I got buried by internal investigation
his family could only afford a quick cremation.
I put 8 bullets in a good man's back
his fatal crime was driving while black
God how I wish he'd kept his hands on the wheel
'Cause now I know why the caged pig squeals.
Decisions by fear are made too quick
the consequences they make us sick.
He was an unlucky guy like Walter Scott
He was tasered first and then he was shot!
I swore to serve and to protect,
but now I've done things I can't forget.
I put 8 bullets in a good man's back
his fatal crime was driving while black
God how I wish he'd kept his hands on the wheel
'Cause now I know why the caged pig squeals.
(spoken)
I hadn't been on the force very long at all. I was out cruisin', I was looking for trouble. Cruising for a bruising you could say. I saw this black guy driving a really nice car. I mean it was REALLY NICE. Like he probably stole it. So I went ahead, got in behind him. Turned on the lights and siren. Whoop! He pulled right over. I was getting out of my car and he's already got his window down and he's cussing me out. He's cussing ME out! I'm an officer of the law! And he's got that bass in his voice. I'm getting scared. So I walk up to his car, got my hand on my pistol, and he's cussing me out. And he takes his hands off the wheel.And I took my pistol out of my holster. Everything went to shit. Now I'm stuck here.
I put 8 bullets in a good man's back
his fatal crime was driving while black
God how I wish he'd kept his hands on the wheel
'Cause now I know why the caged pig squeals.
Even the Aryans won't take my side
That's what I get for a thin blue line
Being a LEO here really sucks
i'm locked up in here with these angry bucks.
And the worst thing is they call me a racist
I'm getting cornholed on a daily basis! Ow!
(and I ain't talking about bean bags either!)
I put 8 bullets in a good man's back
his fatal crime was driving while black
God how I wish he'd kept his hands on the wheel
'Cause now I know why the caged pig squeals!
SOOEY!

Poli's Got The Tics
02:09

It's used to be easier before she got older
She always did what her parents told her
They lived in a cave were made to behave
The strong man told 'em or else he'd fold them.
Poli's got the tics, Poli's got the tics
Poli's are people and tics make you sick!
Poli's got the tics, Poli's got the tics
Poli's are people and tics make you sick!
Then there were more, they couldn't take such gore!
So they worshiped the sun, and wasn't that fun?
The sun didn't answer, they only got cancer!
So they crowned a bunch of kings who kept the gold things.
Poli's got the tics, Poli's got the tics
Poli's are people and tics make you sick!
Poli's got the tics, Poli's got the tics
Poli's are people and tics make you sick!
Some smart guy said, we'll all wind up dead!
So they pulped up some wood, and he wrote something good.
He wrote a bunch of laws, to give us a cause!
They keep us alive, but we live in a hive!
Poli's got the tics, Poli's got the tics
Poli's are people and tics make you sick!
Poli's got the tics, Poli's got the tics
Poli's are people and tics make you sick!
Poli's got the tics, Poli's got the tics
Poli's are people and tics make you sick!
Poli's got the tics, Poli's got the tics
Poli's are people and tics make you sick!

All our cakes come in chocolate, lemon, or yellow.
They're all made by a strapping woman-loving fellow.
What's the secret to our great taste?

Our cakes are made for straights and I'm ready to bake
"Nobody makes gay cakes!"
If you don't believe Leviticus you won't get a bit of this.
"Nobody makes gay cakes!"
If you let me watch you pee, I'll make it for free!

Call me a creeper or a harasser
but I'd rather be your flasher
I'll send you a picture of my hairy glands
I know you'll be holding it in your big hands
I'm sending dick pix
I'm sending death threats
I'm sending dick pix
I'm an insecure piece of shit
Dick pix and death threats is all I'm good for
My filthy granny is a dirty whore
Not knowing drives me insane
I'm like a moth to their flame
Holding my mouse like it owes me money
I want some of your boyish honey!
I'm sending dick pix
I'm sending death threats
I'm sending dick pix
I'm an insecure piece of shit
Dick pix and death threats is all I'm good for
My filthy granny is a dirty whore
It's not my fault because I'm not weird
I've got a girl friend a manly beard
Shame on those trannies for making me feel that way
I'll send a death threat to prove I'm not gay!
I'm sending dick pix
I'm sending death threats
I'm sending dick pix
I'm an insecure piece of shit
Dick pix and death threats is all I'm good for

I've got to know what's in your pants
Do you wear shoes like that to dance?
Tall girls like you make me suspicious
But there's something about them I find delicious. Oh!
I'm sending dick pix
I'm sending death threats
I'm sending dick pix
I'm an insecure piece of shit
Dick pix and death threats is all I'm good for

___Bullet___
Your mind's been bought and your body sold
Who's the guy that you just rolled
Rioting in the streets a lot of fun
You've got a brick, but they've got a gun!
CHORUS
"Lock!"
You’re a bullet in someone else’s gun
"Load!"
You’re a bullet in someone else’s gun
"Cock!"
You’re a bullet in someone else’s gun
"Pull the trigger!"
Running top speed with a brick in your hand,
looking for a window or a policeman.
You’ve been sighted and aimed,
lead the way so you’ll take the blame!
Chorus
Wear a mask or a hood,
strike a blow for the greater good!
Punching a Nazi for your internet fans,
bloody knuckles you take a chance.
Chorus
Black bloc and brown shirts!
You’re throwing down and getting hurt.
Marching on the Capitol screaming for truth,
but you didn’t know there was a sniper on the roof!

Adam and Eve you know they had it rough
The Appalachian Trail was never that tough
They were short ape people with no antibiotics
The animal planet life was too chaotic!
Goddammit! This animal planet
Goddammit goddammit this animal planet
Fucking goddamnit this animal planet!
Romantic ideas will only get you so far
when your whole hide is one itchy scar
The garden of Eden you know it sounds real nice
but they never told you they were all covered in lice
Goddammit! This animal planet
Goddammit goddammit this animal planet
Fucking goddammit this animal planet!
You run and you run and jump over a shrub
you got bit on the dick because no one invented the club
You're fighting off mosquitoes the size of birds
The hills and plains are covered in animal turds!
Goddammit! This animal planet
Goddammit goddammit this animal planet
Fucking goddammit this animal planet!
Modern man you've got it so easy
The animal planet life was short and sleazy
Run kill hide it's the way of life
Predator or prey, it's a constant fight!
Goddammit! This animal planet!
Fucking goddamn it this animal planet!
Goddammit goddammit this animal planet!

__Keep Your Enemies Close__
Statecraft is a suckers game
I find it easy because I have no shame
Diplomacy is hella easy
I do what I want and let them call me sleazy!
"Keep your enemies close!"
And stab your friend right in the back
"Keep your enemies close!"
My loyalty don't mean jack
"Keep your enemies close!"
And stab your friends right in the back!
Shit hole countries are my only real foe
Don't come back til you got some dough!
And I keep my neighbors at arm's length
Why should I care what those bastards think?
"Keep your enemies close!"
And stab your friend right in the back
"Keep your enemies close!"
My loyalty don't mean jack
"Keep your enemies close!"
And stab your friends right in the back!
I don't wanna do what Obama did
If you want an alliance just make a bid
It's in what I call the art of the deal
There's no friends in business, let's get rea!
"Keep your enemies close!"
And stab your friend right in the back
"Keep your enemies close!"
My loyalty don't mean jack
"Keep your enemies close!"
And stab your friends right in the back!
Me and Kim and Putin we ain't good guys

"Keep your enemies close!"
My loyalty don't mean jack

__Scream__
We're pissed off about a lot of things,
that's why we're up here singing
Bullshit bullshit passes for news
it's stacking up above your shoes
Did you ever get so mad you could scream?
Did you ever get so mad you could scream?
Nothing is certain, my friends are going off
Interpreting facts has always been tough.
This administration's bent on destruction
Nothing else matters except their reelection!
Did you ever get so mad you could scream?
Did you ever get so mad you could scream?
Gin up a war to distract the sheep
It's so fucked up I can't even sleep!
Launching missiles over the Persian Gulf
while the shithead in chief, he's playing golf!
Did you ever get so mad you could scream?
Did you ever get so mad you could scream?
Fucking plastic is choking the Earth
It's been that way before our birth
Can it get any worse before it gets better?
There's only one way out, your back is on a stretcher!
Did you ever get so mad you could scream?
Did you ever get so mad you could scream?
Did you ever get so mad? Did you ever get so mad?

___Intolerant of Intolerance___
You're free to use your hate speech,
But know it isn't free
I'm going to make you pay for it
if you try that shit around me.
When racists vie for power,
There is no time to wait.
Let make America great again
By forcing out the hate!
Chorus
Intolerant of intolerance x 3
oh yeah
Intolerant of intolerance x 3
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!
There's no room for white power
in the land of the free.
So fuck your tiki torches,
and fuck your tangerine!
And if you're a fucking Nazi,
there's something I've got to say.
It starts with my boot,
and ends with your face!
Chorus
You claim to love the troops
But what would your heroes say
If they saw you wearing a swastika
while they rot in Nazi graves?
And what about the soldiers
in uniform today?
Are they any less American
If they're Jewish, black, or gay?
Chorus
If your church tells you to hate someone
Your church is full of shit.
And if the state says don't trust your eyes,
It's time to resist!
If it's wrapped in a flag and it's holding a bible
Fascism in America holds no hope for tomorrow.!

Close The Camps
04:25

|
___Close the Camps___
It's a war with only one aggressor
They're locking up those that they think are their lessers
As they once did to families of Asian descent
Underpasses and desert lands all packed with tents
They're good-hearted people that are driven to panic
For seeking asylum and being Hispanic
My friends say to trust no one and now I know why
Because there are people here who laugh when a brown kid dies
Close the camps,
Close the camps
Close the camps!
My grandfather came here before World War 2
He was from Japan so he got interred too
He was sent to a dried up ranch called Manzanar
He left behind his house, his job, and his car
But at least he got to stay with his family
The living conditions now, they're an atrocity!
My friends say to trust no one and now I know why
Because there are people here who laugh when a brown kid dies
Close the camps,
Close the camps
Close the camps!
If you support the camps, we ask you think again
What if it was your kids, locked up in that pen?
They're sleeping on the floor, being groped by strangers
They're shitting in the corner, they're cold and endangered
They were brought to this land of milk and honey
Now they're treated like garbage while the masters make money!
My friends say to trust no one and now I know why
Because there are people here who laugh when a brown kid dies
Close the camps,
Close the camps
Close the camps!
They're locking up those that they think don't belong
It's a classic case of weak versus strong!
Incarcerate those with brown eyes and black hair
It seems like we've heard this song before somewhere!
Fear of the alien it drives this shit
And we're fucking sick of it!
My friends say to trust no one and now I know why
Because there are people here who laugh when a brown kid dies
Close the camps,
Close the camps
Close the camps!

___A Room Without Windows___
It all started one night in November,
a few days past Halloween
It's a date I'll always remember,
it's the day the fiends were set free!
Just put me in a room without windows
Just put me in a room without windows
Just put me in a room without windows
Cause I can't bear to see
the things out there in this world of despair
that want to torture me!
They'd been bound by rusty chains
hidden out of sight and out of mind
but that only made them stronger
I should've seen the fucking signs!
Just put me in a room without windows
Just put me in a room without windows
Just put me in a room without windows
Cause I can't bear to see
the things out there in this world of despair
that want to torture me!
They no longer lurk in the shadows
now it seems like they're everywhere
They feed on my years, my anger and my tears
While I scream and pull out my hair
Just put me in a room without windows
Just put me in a room without windows
Just put me in a room without windows
Cause I can't bear to see
the things out there in this world of despair
that want to torture me!
Just put me in a room without windows
In where the beasts can't get me
Close the hatch, bolt the latch, and don't forget to swallow the key!

Look up in the sky, it's a bird it's a plane
No hold on a minute that's just our friend Shane!
If you drink the water here, you'll fly too
Except for Bambie, she's a giant now and her skin turned blue!
Surely you know what I'm talking about,
It's our favorite mutagen, let me hear you shout!
Gen X!
"Gen X! Gen X! Gen X!"
Gen X!
"Gen X! Gen X! Gen X!"
Gen X!
"Gen X! Gen X! Gen X!!"
Gen X!
"Gen X! Gen X! Gen X!"
I still remember when I got that text
from my old teacher, Professor X!
He said tell your friends to stay hydrated,
now twenty percent of us have become mutated.
Faster than you can shout "Imperious Rex!"
I'll pour you a cold glass of Gen X!
Gen X!
"Gen X! Gen X! Gen X!"
Gen X!
"Gen X! Gen X! Gen X!"
Gen X!
"Gen X! Gen X! Gen X!!"
Gen X!
"Gen X! Gen X! Gen X!"
If you want super powers
You'll have to take a lot more showers!
And don't believe those tree huggers' rumours
about our new sponsors down at Chemours
Just put your trust in big brother DuPont!
Because they've got what your really want!
(they've got)
Gen X!
"Gen X! Gen X! Gen X!"
Gen X!
"Gen X! Gen X! Gen X!"

"Gen X! Gen X! Gen X!!"
