  • People are told to pay their taxes
    When actually it's just one of the facts
    That there's nothing in the Constitution to support that
    Television pumping visions constantly to the brain
    That you need either the knife or the pill when you feel pain
    The truth is that the body was created to substain
    And the pills that you take [...]

  • This is a fictional letter from Sgt. John Sawyer, currently serving in Iraq to his loving wife Denise back home
    Dear Denise,
    Hello my love, this is your husband John.
    Sending you all my love and regards from the Middle East.
    I'm taking time to write this letter in the middle of this war going on.
    Thinking of you helps [...]

  • George W. Bush and his family are the worse kind of people
    The image of what happens with too much power
    Turned on his citizens
    Subjecting us to our darkest hour
    We’re not even the first to wear the scars
    Their family has had a hand in all the wars
    And most of us are too busy worrying about cars and [...]

  • Politicians speak on what they plan to do
    I’m here to speak on what we’re going through
    Unemployment, homelessness, same–sex marriage
    A soldier’s deployment… his wife’s loneliness and despair
    Teenage pregnancy and abortions no longer a shock
    The crime rate in cities reaching all time highs
    They blame it on hip hop like they blamed it on rock
    People getting high just [...]

  • So begins the story of a young boy born into a cold land
    Born to a prostitute and her pimp of a man
    Born into a world where no one cares to lend a hand
    Yet still innocent because he doesn’t yet understand
    Some years have passed… he’s just turned 5
    His momma is just happy he’s alive
    Because she passed [...]

  • This is a made for TV war
    Boldly announced to the world like the fall lineup of a major network
    It's leaders… happy to tell us what was in store
    The season premier was highly anticipated
    Bomb blasts broadcasted in high definition
    But even 1080i couldn't show us why
    I wonder how the Nielson Corporation would have rated it
    Reporters embedded with [...]
