Let It Go 03:12
under the parasol, the magistrate sings the madrigal and shields his face from the man who sells his madness by way of the gun - outside the manner yard on the crippled street young girls sell their bodies for bread to eat stare the corner down and say so we meet again but somewhere the people rise and break out in song their voices are carrying them, and i would but the feet on my souls are gone from the night they came in they came in trucks with their iron wrath driving this country to it's dying breath but it's never enough for the tyrant and his cattle let it go and there he sits, the self-crowned-king, in his bird bath, just rearranging his things when he hears the songs high over head he glares at the sky in his disbelief throws a fit and splashes the bath empty and orders his generals to aim higher let it go

Evolution 03:55

bought the old farmland for a song sold it for many reasons too many of them wrong horseshoe bets and the women that came along blind drunk on their demon rum kickin the pedals tryin to out run the dogs with no running start to jump over the fire doin headstands atop of the rotten telephone poles all held up by the wire his knowledge a product of his loneliness a mad cousin to his holiness maniacs in cages and patriots in sages a cruel untelling of the books but i'll not give myself to the ground i kill, more than i live, so slowly heard a great force raping the land like general kelly and his ghost yellow man marching like sherman in reverse steeling the fire from the building, the city from the curse master dies by his own hired hand half a day later father's hanging from the steeple strongest body of thieves to ever scourge a land to ever pillage a people but i'll not give myself to the ground i kill, more than i live, so slowly oh,, allow this night to go on let it roll along, the sun never rise allow this life to go on, let it roll along, the sun never rise say one thing and do another and bunker down in your alsatian den we ain't got room for your politics here politicians make a bad name for the conmen and water fell like burning metal set off by a dying sun them women they circled like covered wagons crying their loved ones back from where they've gone but i'll not give...

she came into my bed in the middle of the night she said i'm tired of sleeping said the world was going mad she wasn't seeing things quite right said the streets were bleeding i remember thinking i think i might as well turn in for the night i think that somebody's trying to tell me something so i gathered up my things and walked back from the light wondering what that something might be she came into my bed in the middle of the night i said you must be mistaken wasn't sure what she'd just seen wasn't sure she could believe i think somebody's trying to tell me something how can we stay still and silent
