In the beginning of time, everyone got along fine
Until one day one man saw another man’s gland
And said, “Hey – his dick is bigger than mine!”
He felt inadequate, having such a small dick
But he said, “That’s OK, I’ll be a big dick some other way.”
So he made bigger guns and he built bigger bombs
For thousands of years through blood and tears
He continued to carry on
Feeling so insecure and acting so immature
This is the story of war
And once upon a time, people used their own minds
Until one day one man out of self doubt
Decided only his way could be right
He told them what to believe, and if they thought differently,
Well then quite simply they were wrong
He created guilt and he created sin
For thousands of years exploiting the very
Fears he filled them with
What you should think and feel, that ain’t your decision
Yeah, this is the story of religion
People continue to fight and to be lead around blind
But one day, one man’s shallow world
Won’t be affecting mine
Peace is long overdue, salvation’s way past time
This is the story of your life
It’s time to open our hearts, it’s time to open our minds
We’re writing the story of our lives

Sitting in a room in a plastic chair
Smoke from my cigarette looms
They’re feeding us warm tortillas and soon
They’ll be bringing us back to our rooms
I’m a middle aged man with a full time job
And a granddaughter soon to arrive
With the money I make I will never provide
I don’t take enough to get by
We left in the morning before the sun rise
Three days of darkness and then we arrived
On the American side
My Coyote left me to die
I paid my Coyote a handsome sum
He promised to get me inside
I quit my job laid it all on the line
Now I’m lucky to be half alive
Chorus
No my own home I don’t even own
And those in the barrio know
I feel ashamed to be seen sick and lame
So I never set foot out these doors
Chorus

Murder of millions - all in the name of your greed
Contamination - poison the air that we breathe
Eyes start to bleed - Infection come to the fore
Contempt for life, causing our strife, putrid right down to the core
We were fine until you arrived
And then we took a hit, a world of shit
Thy kingdom come—oblivion, now-
Angel’s descend, this is the end
Wealth is your weapon - with it you eliminate
World we rely on, destroy, sealing our fate
Eater of souls - forever invisible
A portrait in red, a picture of dread, a scene of injustice so pure
We were fine until you arrived
And then we took a hit, a world of shit
Thy kingdom come—oblivion, now-
Angel’s descend, this is the end

What is everyone so afraid of?
Why is everyone so mad?
If I marry my girlfriend
Do they really think the world is gonna end?
I thought we were all created equal
What ever happened to separation of church and state?
Thank god we've got a constitution
To keep people like you from owning slaves
The inside of me is just like the inside of you
All though we may disagree,
You know my sister
-I'm just like you
Just like you
Not sure what makes you think you're better than me
All you know is what you were told to believe
It's a shame you never thought for yourself
-The real sin is everything you never felt
The inside of me is just like the inside of you
I don’t need you to pray for me,
You know my brother
-God loves me too!!!
We all work, and we all pay taxes
We're human beings, and American citizens
Land of the free and the home of the brave,
-Just as long as you're exactly like everyone else
-I guess you got it made
What are you so afraid of?
Why are you so mad?
If I marry my girlfriend,
Do you really think the world is gonna end?
Do you really think the world is gonna end?

Dear America:
I stand here, in front of you,
Fearful, Faithless
Pale White like your constituency,
Your electoral body.
Hoping you can still lend a hand,
Lend a heart, lend a fucking brain-
To those who felt left behind by their democracy,
For who it will never be the same.
This man doesn't have your interests in mind,
Just his bottom line.
Not My President.
Sexual Predator.
Habitual Liar.
Fucking Coward.
Don't tell me I can't use my brand of hate,
To fight his brand of hate.

How would life be
If we were all colorblind?
No hues to segregate
No hatred misaligned.
Imagine we are all the same
Cause behind this fabric
We are only one brain
Visually engaged
in a struggle with ourselves
So throw your tongues to the ground
And exit from this hell.
I wish we were all colorblind
We need to shed this hate
It's only in our minds
I wish we were all colorblind
There is no race, we can't lose
If we leave no one behind.
How could life be
If we just dropped the gun,
No bullets congregate
In the the hearts of our loved ones
Imagine we are all the same
Cause behind the trigger
Is a weak heart to blame
Misplaced anger
In a struggle with ourselves
So throw your arms to the ground
And exit from this hell
Humanity is in its infancy
Suffering from hypocrisy
Strong in the head
But weak at the knees

IT'S A DANGEROUS GAME
THAT YOU WANT US TO PLAY
WHERE YOU'LL HURT EVERYONE
THAT MIGHT BE IN YOUR WAY
AND IT SEEMS THAT WE'RE FOOLS
WATCHING HISTORY REPEAT
BELIEVING WE'RE WON
WHEN WE'RE GETTING BEAT
WE PLAY THE GAME
I WISH NEVER WOULD BEGIN
WE PLAY THE GAME
THE ONE NOBODY EVER WINS
IT'S A DANGEROUS TIME
WHERE YOU MAKE YOUR OWN RULES
THERE'S NOT MUCH CONSEQUENCE
WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH TO LOSE
I'VE SEEN WHAT YOU OFFER
I'VE SEEN WHAT YOU BRING
YOU'VE LEARNED ALL TOO WELL THAT A STARVING MAN
WILL EAT ANYTHING
WE PLAY THE GAME
I WISH NEVER WOULD BEGIN
WE PLAY THE GAME
THE ONE NOBODY EVER WINS
IT'S A DANGEROUS GAME
WHERE YOU’RE TRYING TO SURVIVE
WHERE EVERYONE LOSES
ON EVERY SIDE
SO OF COURSE HOPE IS FLEETING
BUT I'LL DO WHAT I CAN
TO CHANGE THINGS UP
AND START OVER AGAIN
WE PLAY THE GAME
I WISH NEVER WOULD BEGIN
WE PLAY THE GAME
THE ONE NOBODY EVER WINS
