Glue - Steal the crown
(from the album Sunset Lodge EP)
© copyright 2005

How far would you go?
To steal the crown from the thief to be number one,
And run the world with compassion and responsible gun,
So far from the right, I can see the damage spreading,
To the school yard fights, the project nights, embedding,
The idea of pitting class versus the hungry,
Just as complicated as pretty versus ugly,
I’m something of an anarchist, with religious vision,
A last minute addition to the left wing mission,
It all started when I stumbled on a set of footprints,
Big enough to step on a million sleeping children,
I’ve tried to find remorse in knowing the enemy, well enough
To play by his rules singing conforming melodies,
I swear the power fetish, let’s us, get away with murder,
In a third world country that we’ve never even heard of,
Tyrants calling shots right outside your door,
We’ve warned what was coming, but you don’t listen anymore,

We were taught to always obey,
Now we must fight against what they say.

Survival of the fittest means survival of the quickest,
It’s a sickness to be a pacifist unintentional catalyst
For predators and tough guys, and every stereotype,
So you better start speaking right, ?despite running city blocks, the well is pretty dry,
Energy recycled into killing your own kind,
But that’s the 100 year plan working out perfect,
The invisible giant watches the market and the circuit,
Cannibalize itself, on material wealth,
Now everyone plays for a team and never themselves,
Big muscles and big bank accounts become synonymous,
They persecute free thinkers like they use to do communists,
Respect, it’s all for a seven letter word,
Learned from the first time god’s voice was heard,
That stirred beauty which corrupted man with contradiction,
So now we live every day to get back what we’re missing,

We were taught to always obey,
Now we must fight against what they say.

Warlords and Presidents, Gang leaders and Parliament,
Warriors and Insurgents, Dictators and terrorists,
Hero’s hide in headlines but rebellions never mentioned,
The struggle crumbles under corporate media’s protection,
They scare you into thinking you can’t walk the city blocks,
The Economy dies while the people struggle with the cops,
One man’s ego is enough to destroy a world,
All it takes is attractive words and the power to be heard,
In 2004 we’ve saw to many examples,
History left bread crumbs the size of world wars,
Follow me back, to day one, to unite people,
Obey only yourself, don’t get fooled by good and evil,
in 2005 we have a chance to turn it around,
Bush got reelected but they can’t hold us down,
the christian right wants moral values, but god is ashamed
They’ve been destroying the world in Jesus’s name.
