OUR EVOLUTION LYRICS
1.
THE NEW MEEK – Yeah, here we come again/The impossible and unstoppable Force of Meek/Burning for your disbelief/Yeah, here we come again/With a new philosophy/Because they teach Foucault to imbaseals like me/And we’ll never go away no!/Some stoners some junkies some freaks/Install the genocide/Of our little tribe/By infectious suicide/Do or die!/We’ll show our scars on our face/We won’t ever be erased no!/You can’t stop us/Cuz’ we’re never gunna quit/We’ve read the rules/And know they’re incorrect/We’ll keep building/Something better has to be/We simplify complexity/So that we can see/The future’s ours for us to reach now!/Wanting our voice to be free/Underneath the ruling class/We walk on broken glass/Untill a time will have to pass/For peace and unity/Authority admit defeat now!/Without respect/Life is just a waste/This bomb will blow up in your face!
2.
MY LIFE - Symphony of wrong undone/Sing to me aluminum/Box me in and ship me safe/Memorize my saving grace/And everything I’ve always known/Stretching out to time before/Can this pattern be erased?/Give me something to strive for!/Its My life/Can I live?/Ancient tongues lick at my face/Stereo scholastic waste/Forced to prove the worth of self/In the naphtha raining down/And I am just a lullaby/My consciousness it questions why/Is this truth uncertainty? Or are the answers hiding?/And I will never go away/I’ll be the ink, the mark, your stain/And all the days one in the same/Please conquer me and my small brain/Right?/So come on, I’ve been waiting so long, so bring it on/I think a thought I think therefore I think I am I think a thought I think I really thought a thought I think a thought I think there I think I am I think I thought it!?!/And I live it/And I spend it
3.
RISING – Constantly/Our Numbers/Power/Tooth and nail we sacrifice/We’re striving towards a better life/One free of free and hate because/We trust each other and our cause/We refuse to hesitate/The time has come to clean the slate/We stand together we are strong/Our time is now, we are Rising/Yeah, well listen up/The time has come to re-invent/The chains that bind us must be rent/We won’t be slaves that can not think aspire higher to great things/We won’t give up we’ll never quit/We are the few we’re sick of it/Our time has come our time is now/No one can stop us from Rising/How can it be alright?/When it’s not alright/How can it be alright?/If it’s not alright/So we must fight/Till it’s all alright!

TRYING TO BE – Trying to be what I’m not/I’m trying to be what I can’t/I’m trying to be what you want me to be/And I’m trying to be what I’m not/Then the sun goes down/There’s no one else around/And I can be alone. Everybody, sing along, ok? Just follow the bouncing ball...

MARLBORO BLUES – A tattered tale(il) of a rat’s old story/A bleeding heart searching in the morning/Eyes of oak hidden in a treasure/Waiting for my next disaster/Picking at an open sore/So the pain won’t hurt no more/And all she ever had/Was all she had to give/And all she had to give/Was all I wanted/She’s got the Marlboro Blues/With nothing to lose/I’ve got the Marlboro Blues with nothing to lose, yeah/Masquerading my selfish mold/Egocosm (I made it up) of truth untold/Spreading terror and spreading lies/Just to crown yourself lord of flies/And if you need a friend/red, white, black and blue/Someone to be true/red, white and so bruised/I’ll be there then/We’ve got the Marlboro Blues.
9.
FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY - I wrote this song, for your birthday/Even though I, can’t be with you/Cuz everyday, I think about you girl/Even though I, can’t be with you/I wish that we could get away/From your father and this messed up place/Be irresponsible for just one day/Cuz right now I'm just killin’ time/Hopin’ one day, things will be just fine/Just fine… yeah/Her every whispers like a shout to me/Cutting the darkness of my mind/Her every word is so important to me/Like a book of poetry/Hopin’ one day you will be all mine/Just mine… yeah
10.
AND IT FALLS - With our hearts full of passion/And our minds to resolve/Everyday getting stronger so that we can evolve/With an abracadabra but no magic involved/We speak and we will it to be and that’s all/And then it all falls down/Is the future obnoxious, is the future obscene?/Is this the Valley of Dead or just a movie, B/Is there anyone out there that can hear my screams?/Will this be the end or can we start our dreams?/It’s life, as it seems/And it’s killin’ me/It won’t go away/Looks like its here to stay…

STYROFOAM by Fugazi – www.dischord.com - I'm not even certain I got the words right... I know for certain that when he says 5 billion I changed it to 6... and I say go after every chorus line - dunno why... prolly just nervous energy from getting to record/sing one of the greatest band's (of all time) song. Send all donations and checks payable to FUGAZI at Mt. Olympus c/o Zeus for this one. And thank you once again to them for letting us do this song - it meant a lot to us.

OMAHA by Babyland – www.babyland.info - I'm not even certain I got the words right... If you have never seen Babyland play, you MUST MUST MUST go to a show ASAP - or NATE will kill you. They are his favorite artists, and he is pissed that you have not gone to see them, especially if you live anywhere near LA. Japaneese are off the hook for now... but you Europeans that didn't see them should be ashamed.
16.
SWEET COLUMBINE – Cover this up/media reruns/Where’s my villain?/Force feed opinions/My sweet columbine won’t you be mine?/JFK, David Karesh, Janet Reno, The IRS/Iraq is now, Iran is next!/Holy Land still killing time for the rest/No relating, can’t stop hating/My news source at 9, can’t think of a rhyme/Give up now before you’ve lost/And all end up a bit like us/No relating, can’t stop hating/Human nature’s never changing!/My great FBI, made where prof(phe)its lie...
