Criminal a label
Reserved for the one
Who destroys such a plant (such a plant which works)
To destroy a planet
A pair of wire cutters
A cage in a laboratory
A siren and an exchange
One captive for another
For someone must be caged
Incarcerate to retribute
And the point is all but lost
To plant you must first uproot
The finer points of salvation
A pair of wire cutters
A cage in a laboratory
A siren and an exchange
One captive for another
For someone must be caged
Why must someone be caged
Why must someone be caged?!
(oh) We don’t want no one to be caged, no
(oh) We don’t want no one to be caged, no
(oh) We don’t want no one to be caged, no more
A pair of wire cutters
A cage in a laboratory
A siren and an exchange
One captive for another
For someone must be caged
Why must someone be caged
Why must someone be caged?!

There will be no more sorrow
And there will be no more pain (oh today)
We rejoice for tomorrow
We will break through these Chains
And we will be set Free!

A beautiful garden, I want to plant
But first I wanna uproot everything, I gotta rip up all the weeds
Then all my flowers, I will water
I wanna watch this forest burn, wanna watch this forest burn
Seeds will burst into new life & the rains will come down
Well, come down rains & wash away
And the rains will come down, come down rain, wash away
And the rains will come down, come down rain, wash away
Let the rains come down & soak up all the earth
After the flames have purged the land let rains bring rebirth
Let the rains come down & soak up all the earth
After the flames have purged the land let rains bring rebirth
And the rains will come down, come down rain, wash away
And the rains will come down, come down rain, wash away
Oh, come down rains and wash away
(Won’t you wash away)
Oh, come down rains and wash away
(Won’t you wash away)
Oh, come down rains and wash away
(I wanna watch this forest burn, wanna watch this forest burn)
Oh, come down rains and wash away
(I wanna watch this forest burn, wanna watch this forest burn)

If you could be inside my shoes for just a day
It is probable you would learn to change your ways
But as for now it seems you’ll keep living your life this way
Because you have never been the one who has to pay
For your crimes
So I pray
That someday
Everything will change
I’ve been living with this pain
All my life
And I just can’t wait to die
I’ll close my eyes
And it’ll all go away
Oh Lord please grant me the strength not to hate
Those people who seemingly control my fate
And my God I pray that you will swing open a gate
Not for myself but for the ones who deserve to pay
For their crimes
So I pray
That someday
Everything will change
I’ve been living with this pain
All my life
So I just can’t wait to die
I’ll close my eyes
And make it all go away
I beg for Mercy
That You would spare those who would not spare me
Of all the things I have have prayed for
All I want is this hate & pain to go away

Every day is Friday to me
What’s the difference between you & me
Every day is Friday to me
Every day is Friday to me
Every day is Friday to me, yeah
Now don’t get me wrong, I think you’re great as can be
But every day is Friday to me
Well, sure you’ll have a veggie burger for dinner tonight
But every day is Friday to me
Yeah, sure you’ll have a veggie burger for dinner tonight
But every day is Friday to me
Every day is Friday to me
Every day is Friday to me, yeah
Now don’t get me wrong, I think you’re great as can be

But every day is Friday to me

You say I’m just one man
And how can one man make a difference
Well, you cannot (not with that attitude)
But I tell you the truth
All it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
All it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
All it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
All it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
What if all the leaders
Of all great social reforms
Were simply to sit back
And wait for their victories to be assured
Naw
I’ve got too much Soul inside of me
And it’s just too damned strong
To not open up my heart & set it Free
Besides, I’ve holding this back for far too long
And all it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
All it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
All it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
All it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
And have you ever noticed all my arguments are based in reason
While every time you debate me, you always fall back on your justification
But all it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
All it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
All it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
All it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
Let me hear you sing:
All it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
All it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
All it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World
All it takes is a little bit of Faith to change the World

If God created us
Superior
What does it say about us
When we create a
Fascist regime & if God made us in His image
And God is Love why have we strayed so far from
His Benevolent
Character
If we slaughter & torture
Everything we are
Given authority over, what does it say about us
We hate, how can we love a god & yet hate His creation
We hate God
If God is Love
We hate God
If God is Love
We hate God
If God is Love
We hate God
If God is Love
We hate

Is it Vandalism to destroy that
Which never should have been built
And is it theft, now, to give back that which
Never should have been taken
Who decides who has feelings and of those feelings
Who’s are valid
And of those you call soulless, well, you had better be right
Or pray for your after life
Until all captives are set free
We will persist
Until all victims are released
We will resist this
Is it Nihilism to destroy all
That which causes our demise
And is it Anarchism so simply not believe
In this hierarchy
And is it truly murder to take one life
In order to save countless
Well, did you truly think that we would just sit back
And watch you fuck everything up
Until all captives are set free
We will persist
Until all victims are released
We will resist this
Until all captives are set free
Until all victims are released
We will persist to resist!
Until all captives are set free
Until all victims are released
We will persist to resist!

It’s hard to keep my feet planted firmly on the ground
While my head is in the clouds
It’s hard to keep my feet planted firmly on the ground
While my head is in the clouds
I got the Sun on the one side
And the Moon on the other
And the Ocean’s in between
I’m trying to tame a Wild Horse
While I, myself, am a Force of Nature that can’t be tamed
It’s hard to keep my feet planted firmly on the ground
While my head is in the clouds
It’s hard to keep my feet planted firmly on the ground
While my head is in the clouds
I got the Trees on the one side
And the Mountains on the other
And the Ocean’s in between
And yet I keep on trying
To tame the Jungle Lion that lives inside of me
(Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo)
It’s hard to keep my feet planted firmly on the ground
While my head is in the clouds (I say)
It’s hard to keep my feet planted firmly on the ground
While my head is in the clouds
I got the Jungles on the one side
And the Islands on the other
And the Ocean’s in between
I am the King of the Jungle
I’m the Queen of the Islands
So why can’t we be Free?!
