Executive Fever
Marked safe from tears when shitty bosses die
I think of the long stingy road to this,
where estimation will not even try
to have no obligation go amiss
in a republic of the free and brave;
free, that is, to accumulate more debt,
as less and less we can keep from the grave,
unless lotteries are a winning bet.
Yet in this mess they say the boss is right
and that the private jet and private yacht
are not somehow an ecologic blight
where at least the Orcas have not been bought
and know damn well that they can't trust a boat ...
I think of the long stingy road to this,
where estimation will not even try
to have no obligation go amiss
in a republic of the free and brave;
free, that is, to accumulate more debt,
as less and less we can keep from the grave,
unless lotteries are a winning bet.
Yet in this mess they say the boss is right
and that the private jet and private yacht
are not somehow an ecologic blight
where at least the Orcas have not been bought
and know damn well that they can't trust a boat ...

Everythings Fine
There are bigger things to worry about than politics or the death of democracy.
Worry about the death of kindness.
Worry about the death of compassion.
Worry about the death of decency.
Worry about the death of yourself.
Or
Don't worry at all.
Look up to the sky
Be amazed and cry.
Isn't that all we've ever wanted
To be amazed.
Worry about the death of kindness.
Worry about the death of compassion.
Worry about the death of decency.
Worry about the death of yourself.
Or
Don't worry at all.
Look up to the sky
Be amazed and cry.
Isn't that all we've ever wanted
To be amazed.

How can a Vote (Mean more than the Truth)
How can a vote
Mean more than the truth
It’s what we teach our kids
To tell the truth
A bedrock belief
It’s what we all stand for
Truth will set you free
It’ll set us free
It’s all about power
Truth doesn’t matter
Try and tell my kids
To be on the up and up
And they see liars and thiefs
Not live up to us
What should they think
When it’s up to us
To not give in to the noise that’s all around
Facts are sound
Since when do we believe
In fantasies
And...
Mean more than the truth
It’s what we teach our kids
To tell the truth
A bedrock belief
It’s what we all stand for
Truth will set you free
It’ll set us free
It’s all about power
Truth doesn’t matter
Try and tell my kids
To be on the up and up
And they see liars and thiefs
Not live up to us
What should they think
When it’s up to us
To not give in to the noise that’s all around
Facts are sound
Since when do we believe
In fantasies
And...
