Rodger Matthews II Think of that album your white friend's dad played in his garage in, like 1998. You stood just outside the garage door, while your friend went in and grabbed popsicles or sodas. Their dad beckoned you in, and you took a tentative step in. It smelled sweet in there, but you couldn't place the smell. Maybe now you recognize it. Favorite track: Trials & Tribulations.

Be all you can be? Well just get out of my way And I don’t want to hear your reply Because Everything’s been bought and sold And now who do I owe? Well it’s this way That way Any way, it’s no way to be ‘Cause they’re gonna sell you all the trial & tribulations of a world where they want you from Is this where I gotta be? Everything you see someday will be washed away And the world won’t stop to cry So here you go, scraps and all Now go dig yourself a hole When it’s yes sir No sir I don’t even know sir, I couldn’t even care at all ‘Cause they’re gonna sell you all the trial & tribulations of a world where they want your from Is this where I gotta be? A whole universe and I ended up here? What a time to be alive So what do you want to do in the meantime? Hey plug cash is king help me kill my brain while we circle the drain

Big Krieg ( Produce or Die ) Waking up Sweating through skipped beats Is it 3am or a waking dream? Gotta play the game and say that’s sane ‘Cause I was alive, then tried, now I’m fried Some day Some way Some time I’m gonna find How to afford some peace of mind In a world that’s produce or die Produce or die Staring out A 1k scene Buy. Consume. Obey. Then you rinse and repeat All the while losing the plot ‘Cause I was alive, then tried, now I’m fried Some day Some way Some time I’m gonna find How to afford some peace of mind In a world that’s produce or die Produce or die Today’s thoughts are tomorrow’s big business Can’t have you sad, won’t someone think of the profits? We should count ‘whys?’ instead of sheep at night, alright And why am I…… Waking up Sweating through skipped beats Is it 3am, or a waking dream? Or another thousand yard stare? The writing’s on the wall saying life is a killer It ain’t getting chiller The writing’s on the wall saying life it’s a killer And you know it ain’t getting chiller

All I hear is the pitter-patter of people trying to climb a ladder All I know is they took the meat and left us with the bone Talking head talking ‘bout their billionaire friend And a liberal with a small ‘L’ didn’t mean to offend While livings getting heavy and we march in a trance. Jesus, Mary, Joseph What you knowing? Sweet Fancy Moses Smell the roses I’m just waiting on a flash and mushroom cloud All I feel is the breeze from our rights flying way All I see is the clouds rolling in for a dark age Our bodies being used as a means to an end Don’t talk about freedom it’s only pretend While livings getting heavy and we march in a trance Jesus, Mary, Joseph What you knowing? Sweet Fancy Moses Smell the roses I’m just waiting for the sweet sweet release of death Jesus, Mary, Joseph What you knowing? Sweet Fancy Moses Smell the roses I’m just waiting for….

The bootlick’n snitch gonna sit and twitch While a hood he hates is burning on tv It’s always a man says he’s got a plan While a nation yells shut up and save me The money thrives where the power lies And the loyalty gonna roll in plenty No one wants to hear You’re hard at work While a Nation yells shut up and pay me. Got ourselves lying that there’s not a gun to our head Got ourselves living like we’re just trying to make it to bed Hands be shaking hands on the money-go-round You better get a good price for your power Because the ones on top are laughing out loud They say I hope you like a golden shower They say our futures’ bright but they’re shining the light and… They already dug our graves Just when you think you got ahead They already bought up space When it seems like it’s never gonna change Just another party with another claim Every night’s alright for a fight When a new day has the same mistakes Another step back with nothing to gain Every night’s alright for a fight When they tell you to pick and choose But you know that every way you’re gonna lose Do what you gotta do And when it seems like it’s never gonna change Every night’s alright for a fight
