A Dedication

my2hands

to all of the republicans packing their fucking bags!

Gone

No more upset mornings
No more tired evenings
This American dream
I am disbelieving

When the gas in my tank
Feels like money in the bank
Gonna blow it all this time
Take me one last ride

For the lights of this city
They only look good when I'm speeding
Gonna leave em all behind me
Cause this time

I'm gone

Long gone
This time I'm letting go of it all
So long
Cause this time I'm gone

In the far off distance
As my tail-lights fade
No one thinks to witness
But they will someday

Feel like a question is forming
and the answers far
I will be what i could be
Once I get out of this town

For the lights of this city
They have lost all feeling
Gonna leave em all behind me
Cause this time

I'm gone

Long gone
This time I'm letting go of it all
So long
Long gone, I'm letting go of it all
Cause this time I'm gone

If nothing is everything
If nothing is everything, I'll have it all
If nothing is everything
If nothing is everything, I'll have it all

I am gone

Why would we be packing our bags?

If you're a republican congressperson, there's a very good chance you'll have bags to pack come January.

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie

Do ya?

There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Good dedication. I'll be putting that one on later.
But it will have to follow this one, which has been stuck in my head all day:

Highway

Tired old man you're a wastin' slowly battling grey and blue
Built your empire as a shell so nobody prays on you

Remember when you were fresh and bitter like a blossom in its bud?
Struggle to keep the memories free from the sweat and blood

Just to generalize, you sleep and you rise
You fail to recognize
Like the Red Queen, you're running out of steam every mile
The highway of denial

What a funny way to spend the day like a farmer deep in debt
Tending to the coming harvest, ever trying to forget

Don't you feel like you wanna run away from the mess that you've begun?
Now that they won't let you make it up as you go along

Just to generalize, you sleep and you rise
You fail to recognize
Like the Red Queen, you're runnin' out of steam every mile
The highway of denial

Tired old man you're a wastin' slowly battling grey and blue
Built your empire as a shell so nobody preys on you
