When the world started turning and it set to up and burning All the freedom of a megalopolis The United States was bleeding and the populace was pleading For a living breathing old sarcophagus Well she took to warring constantly for fossil fuels and Jesus And the lies of often civilated songs Turned the Middle East to glass and turned her back on her repast And said the Bill Of Rights is motherfucking wrong, bitch God bless America god bless America Land of the free and the home of the letdown In the meantime out in Asia got a market euthanasia Got it humming drumming economically Tried collecting all her debts the US wouldn't take the bet And said "fuck off" all rather pedantically For the world that was War Four 'cause III was knocking at the door And the history sputtered sporadically In the chaos that ensued after wars for god and crude The second coming happened despotically God bless the marketplace god bless the marketplace Buy that shit low and then sell off the countdown So it came to be the truth that Chinggis Khan would be the proof That if you want shit done you never wait around He was rising in the ast the battle lines were drawn at least The history books would someday write all this shit down So Julius Caesar rose to fight him made an army just to spite him And a war machine that ran on human bones They were clashing every day in every place in every way With the plastics made from tissues of the clones yeah God bless the emperors god bless the emperors Though self ordained still they're willing to get down While the generations died the war was living with a tide Of surplus cannon fodder plucked off of the streets All the fossil fuels are zapped the land is ocean, deserts, crap Yes and the drums of war are shuffle/set/repeat If you're looking for a wasteland well you got it have a taste man What's it taste like fuck you cannot be the judge It's the west against the east it's set, man "shuffle/war/repeat" That's how it will be, is, and always fucking was God bless the atheists, deists, and theists In the land of debris at the edge of the meltdown Read more at http://societyfringepodcast.libsyn.com/page/2/size/25#1sI1OkqHUz6zsKtR.99

Riot 05:46
I seen the sunshine only in my dreams 'cause it's never bright I spent a lifetime feeling my way through the darkest night I rode the airways I supped on lightening and drank the sky I been transcended back away, lord, by and by Riot! Riot now it's our last chance Seduce me with your sinful dance Breath my soul and set me free Everything will burn wait and see Where are the women? Where are the mommas, wives, and sisters? Where is my shotgun? Got it at the pawn shop and sawed it off, mister How is this platform? Hand to hand combat in the goddamned streets The cops are in on it They need money to survive just like you and me Riot! Everything will burn as you will see Burn it down!

They kicked my ass again and said it's just for fun A tattoo on my shoulder says "I'm number one Baby Blue Gun" Baby blue gun Read more at http://societyfringepodcast.libsyn.com/page/2/size/25#UJczCYfIlh5qXtjE.99

Fucking Job 05:21
I hate my fucking job I hate my fucking job Fight or die First day of basic had us drinking human blood We're the only resource left ain't nothing up here, cuz They killed five the first day 'cause they would not fall in line I say "yes sir no sir" but I'm just biding my time chorus The sergeant tried to rape me so I slit his fucking throat Colonel said "Well goddamn, son, you're the kind of kid I can promote." Got my new stripes branded on the fingers of my fist Last thing that you'll see coming 'cause I never fucking miss chorus There ain't no mirrors here they don't want us to see There ain't no living here they don't want us to be Last night I dreamt that I was falling from the sky When I woke up I did not know that I could still cry and cry and cry chorus Read more at http://societyfringepodcast.libsyn.com/page/2/size/25#UJczCYfIlh5qXtjE.99

Seven months in the shit Turns out warring is legit Killed as many as I lost What a cost It's funny how I love my gun It's funny how they never run\ It's funny that I never sleep Never eat It's funny how they never beg It's funny how they get new legs It's funny how the night is day Fades away The roar of the drunken gods The worst of the lightening rods The drunken gods choose not to sip Let her rip Read more at http://societyfringepodcast.libsyn.com/page/2/size/25#UJczCYfIlh5qXtjE.99

Atlantis 07:10
Got a side business booming Found the guy that makes the fucking drugs I know him as the malevolent colonel The one who coddles all us fucking thugs Got my buddies let me cruise right through the missiles Guess in other words they're called the enemy Give 'em drugs I give 'em cash and other goodies And all the largesse coming back to me get down Gotta keep this transport moving Can't believe my motherfucking eyes A secret entrance through the glass desert And an underworld that's better than surprise Got plants and art and poetry and women And everybody's coming up to me Got to thank the malevolent colonel For everything now that I fucking see get down They tell me that this place is called Atlantis The throbbing people mingle sing and fuck How'd this fucking place be kept a secret Eventually it's got to die to luck The mayor is a fucking sexy lady She keeps it so it's never up and gone I need to meet the woman with the power I hear her name is sunshine lit at Dawn get down Every time I pull into Atlantis Where the scientists make robot hookers purr I get out of the transport and I rare back 'Cause I'm pushing on my horse down through the spurs It's nirvana to the bohos and the artists Singing songs and dancing every single night Only law is that there is no re-religion 'Cause the intellectuals don't feel it's right Get down Read more at http://societyfringepodcast.libsyn.com/page/2/size/25#UJczCYfIlh5qXtjE.99

Well they killed the malevolent colonel I'll never see Atlantis again They shipped me back to the front Back to being just a grunt My karma done got wrecked New tattoo on my neck They keep their eye on me 'Cause I seen what could be I got to get back there I got to get back there Out of this karma wrecker While in Atlantis I found an ancient record It was made of vinyl Dawn she sat me down It was named after an early gun But the music was free and fun She burned a sacred plant She let the record chant The band was clearly free The band was clearly free In the corner laughed a man in white He was glowing like a tracer light He ain't no karma wrecker He said "Hello, son, my name just call me Elvis Dawn she gave my whole life back to me" Then Dawn began to sing More beautiful than anything I could see the notes she sung As if it were from my tongue I could taste her warming breath She made me not fear death\ She made me feel alright She said "You're a shining light You ain't no Karma Wrecker." In a trance I made it to the front lines Dawn and Elvis met with Caesar and Temujin I think I may have cried My heart grew dead inside The stink of millions dead The polar caps froze red Time to just survive Make it out alive To Atlantis where I believe To Atlantis where I believe There ain't no karma wrecker I don't know Read more at http://societyfringepodcast.libsyn.com/page/2/size/25#UJczCYfIlh5qXtjE.99
