Here’s to the state of Mary Fallin For trapped within her borders, there’s no room to discuss The lies pouring from the mouths of those you’re supposed to trust With zombie caged conformity and ignorant blood-lust Yes, there’s no point in denying the machine is made of rust Whoooaooo, here’s to the land, you’ve torn out the heart of Mary Fallin, find yourself another country to be part of Here’s to the government of Mary Fallin With twisted, giant smiles, they strangle every star Say anything you please, just don’t take it too far Legislators stand for masters and the Governor’s a czar It kind of makes you wonder just how free you are Oh, here’s to the land, you’ve torn out the heart of Mary Fallin, find yourself another country to be part of And here’s to the false prophets of Mary Fallin They’re really very friendly; they’ll surely help you out As long’s you’re not gay and your Christianity’s devout They’re generous with judgments they gladly, loudly spout But if you don’t like the status quo, why don’t you just get out? Oh, here’s to the land, you’ve torn out the heart of Mary Fallin, find yourself another country to be part of And here’s to the laws of Mary Fallin Where Authority is sacred, there’re never enough rules There are those who disagree, but the Bible says they’re fools “There’s only one correct way and we teach it in the schools” Too bad the prisons and police merely serve as tools Oh, here’s to the land, you’ve torn out the heart of Mary Fallin, find yourself another country to be part of

"Crucify Me" 04:06
Oh I’m off to cut the roses Then I’ll weave a crown of thorns Oh I’m off to cut the roses Then I’ll weave a crown of thorns There’s a stake to be ignited And a body to be torn Oh I’m off to set a-sailing Oh so far away from here Oh I’m off to set a-sailing Oh so far away from here I may get lost at sea but It’d be better than lost here Oh the sails are open blowing The sails are surely free Oh the sails are open blowing The sails are surely free The wind fills them with glory How I wish those sails were me Oh if ever I am tempted To flee into fangs of fame Oh if ever I am tempted To flee into fangs of fame I just stare into a bottle And try to forget my own name Oh Fortuna is a-calling You can surely hear her cry Oh Fortuna is a-calling You can surely hear her cry I may not run to meet her But then again I might I said, I may not run to meet her But then again I might

When I found innocence in a sense I drowned. We both fell down the drain, my only hope went up in smoke And you can’t hear what I won’t say the brightest noise the dullest pain And you can’t fix what you can’t see no other left C’est la vie. But you might find yourself a-wishin’ that you hadn’t slammed that door shadows only like to follow Lay back and open up your sorrow spill a spring upon my floor tears begin to fall and fall and fall And we won’t hear and they won’t say the brightest noise the dullest pain And we won’t fix what we can’t see no others left, c’est la vie And we won’t hear and they won’t say the brightest noise the dullest pain And we won’t fix what we can’t see no others left, c’est la vie

Don’t be afraid Face the day A bitter taste Wastes you and I Under a sky So sweet and sick There’s no tomorrow Nor yesterday Regret or sorrow That fills your mouth so thick So you may run laugh and play With all worries faded away No horizon and no regrets So tell me, Have we made it yet? You may find your eyes Begin to rise You may kiss benighted sight goodbye And you may run laugh and play With all worries faded away No horizon and no regrets So tell me, Have we made it yet?

"Volk Punk" 02:00
[Verse 1]: Well, you’re transparent as a spook in faded sheets You criticize yet you’re some kind of NEET No dun-colored hair to spare, you’re no Aryan horde It’s more than clear just who you are (no G to G7) [Verse 2]: (quiet, muted strumming) And no ghost robes can hide your face While you try to decimate the human race It’s your race to lose and it’s you who’ve got to choose Or we may wind up in that concentrated place (G to G7) [Verse 3]: No snowflake in an avalanche feels responsible But dutiful we surely all are George Soros funded this track While I play dressed in black Yet you continue to say shit that’s quite wack [Harmonica solo] [Verse 4]: So go back to Russia Back to Germany too In this battle of wits, it’s you who’s bound to lose We anarchists have got quite a short fuse So keep on kvetching the blues [Bridge]: [Harmonica Solo] [Verse 5]: Love it is wisdom And hate’s not the same (start strumming louder here) TO feel full of love one must possess a brain! But please keep on preaching Please keep tilting on Until the day that you are all gone
