And on the big screen in your big scene you got the eyes right you held on so tight you built an altar to your ego you drew the eyes right uneven and slight right And does it feel good being so mean? putting us down just so can feel clean? and does it feel nice throwing pigs rice? talking so slight just so you can feel right? When you step down from your high horse I hope you feel good I hope you know this that i was once there and now i'm thinking I knew what you felt uneven and back built And does it feel good being so mean? putting us down just so can feel clean? and does it feel nice throwing pigs rice? talking so slight just so you can feel right?

Donald Trump is a nazi He likes to play SS He's got a picture of Adolf his boy Tucked in his billion dollar vest Well he would grab your mama’s pussy Sure he would fire your pop Sure he would march you up to his wall Sure he would frame you for a big fall He is a nazi Still a nominee He is a nazi Wait how can that be? He is a nazi Still a nominee He is a nazi Donald trump will kick out Mexican brothers Build a wall and rape our mothers Now he's thinking he's the white man’s lord Out of my country or die by my sword He is a nazi Sill a nominee He is a nazi Wait how can that be? He is a nazi Still a nominee He is a nazi Donald Trump wants to start a race war We don't give a fuck about Don anymore We all know his plans of blood and gore Just another pawn for the capitalist whore Late show Muslim or Mexican dies Klan propaganda legitimized Hypocrite coward never fought a real fight When I see Don I'm ashamed to be white You are a nazi Sill a nominee You are a nazi Wait how can that be? You are a nazi Still a nominee You are a nazi You're dumb dumb dumb

It’s easy to feel defeated when half of the world is against you He said, “Hey Emily, buck up, this is how things are supposed to be.” I think hiding and crying would be the best for me I’ll join my friends soon, they’re so brave, they’re so much more braver than me But I’ll sing, “Keep on fighting, Keep on fighting, Keep on fighting, It’ll be all right.” This problem is larger than galaxies, you’d see it if you’d only open your eyes People are out on the street begging for basic human rights And that’s not right And we’ll sing, “Keep on fighting, Keep on fighting, Keep on fighting, It’ll be all right.”

Breaking down on the broadcast You’re breaking up, I must have heard you wrong Breaking down demographics Cracking up in living rooms alone And we all fall down the spiral It’s been a year, a mailbox over What’s her name, it might start with an “L” Hear the bang, built from whimpers Voyeurs of hollowness evolve And we all fall down And we all fall down the spiral Give me post-apocalypses In the post-information age Tell me now, cause I wonder Should I feel more hysterical? What a miracle Nineteen Eighty-Four (People of Oceania) Never went to war (People of Oceania) Screens for decor (People of Oceania) Technicolor core (People of Oceania) You can’t have our souls (People of Oceania) You can’t have our souls (People of Oceania) You can’t have our souls (People of Oceania) You can’t have our souls (People of Oceania) Oh, your miracle (People of Oceania) Feels too physical (People of Oceania) To have our souls (People of Oceania) You can’t have our souls (People of Oceania) And we all fall down And we all fall down And we all fall down the spiral People of Oceania

Come all aboard the asylum train Destination media bug in your brain You got no ticket, but he could fix it for now The conductor, a white man, he takes a bow We’re on the tracks to derail the train The chugging motions, emotionless days Think your smart, you read your book But no windows open to give a second look We’re on the tracks to derail the train The chugging motions, emotionless days You sit alone and read facebook The whole world is all some kind of crook A choo choo A choo choo A choo choo Train Crash

Verse 1 These are the days of low hanging fruit These are the days we call post truth Rebranded fools, call them all "alt right" We all know it's supremacist white Chorus While the man in the castle Tramples the rabble And artfully crafts the deal Verse 2 Intellectuals painted in villainy Sciences are now a conspiracy

Every people, they walk along, and I stay silent on the phone, while They grab what's not their own. Anger rising, as we turn round to the tone Anger rising, as they cut us from our bones And I stay silent as I'm pushed from my home But I can no longer fight it, I must yell for my own. Too late, I have spoken too late. Every people, band together now. And I stay silent watching from the window. But I can fight it, I can push the ebb and flow. Too late, I have spoken too late.

I don't need no dead man coming, knocking on my door trying to eat my brain // i don't need some failed world summit, melting ice-caps turned tidal waves // i don't need to know how you get your money; you make more than me, and that's ok // all i need's your love, pretty baby, and a bed to sleep in through the heat of the day I remember back when my mind was young; the world had a halo, and the trees all talked // i remember gathering wild onions, pulling 'em up when the earth was soft // i remember thinking that if i were to run away I could survive on the fish i caught // i don't know when all of the magic stopped; i feel it again after a couple of shots When the room starts to spin, i hope that you will be my friend // pick me up, take me outside // i want proof that i am still alive; i want to dance under the starry sky // as the world burns before our eyes // oh, it's a mad time to be alive, and i'm so glad that i am alive // i'm so glad that i am alive // i'm so glad that you are alive

Your prejudices will crumble Under the tower of hatred that you You built upon quicksand And now you're sinking slowly Wasted Jaded Estranged You're falling apart Better hold yourself together man And we, we better, We better hold each others hands

In a world where money talks And the truth remains unspoken There's a rise of a hate-filled walk A sleeping bigotry's been awoken Chorus 1: It's leader claims only he can fix. Divisions in our national mix Just trust him, don't put up a fight Be glad you're free, now give up your rights. Followers decry incivility But want the freedom to discriminate Say they need religious liberty That's practiced by refusing to serve gays. Chorus 2: Their leader - he has promised this To fight tension in the national mix Claims Jesus Christ wants it that way And those who disagree must pay His followers now on the prowl Seeking people they can now attack Their leader's rallies an example now To target women, the media and blacks Chorus 3: Their leader claims only he can fix The tension in our national mix Those who oppose him must say when To make this nation great again. If you're faith's different than be alert. 'Cause the leader wants to take away your rights Keeping them will involve struggle and hurt 'Cause in their eyes greatness is just for whites Chorus 4: The leader - he has promised this. To fight tension in the national mix Fans the flames of bigotry To further his followers' hypocrisy He drained the swamp and son we find He hired the worst among the slime Vent falsehoods about climate change It's okay as long as donors get paid

These walls are tired and soft with time The floors are dark they do not shine There's no one left to foot the bill So they'll tear it town into a rubble, tear it down into a rubble hill Send them down, send them down Down down across the hill Well tear them down, tear them down Down into a rubble, down into a rubble hill You'll take their money, they'll take your will They'll send you down across the rubble hill And all that's left to sing the blues Is an old suitcase and worn-out shoes Send them down, send them down Down down across the hill Well tear them down, tear them down Down into a rubble, down into a rubble hill Well the man with the money is here to stay He's a man with desire for real estate He's gonna build these walls with pillars of salt He's gonna build his glory from a rubble, build his glory from a rubble hill Send them down, send them down Down down across the hill Well tear them down, tear them down Down into a rubble, down into a rubble hill

Now is not the time to hide or run away in fear cuz we've learned from history exactly what's happening here are we just going to sit back and watch it all unfold pretend nothings happening and do what we're told I know that I am privileged and I yes I am white but that doesn't mean that can't stand up and fight for my brothers and my sisters whatever shade they are cuz underneath our skin we are all hiding up our scars how do we break the cycle how do we break the chain are the questions we keep asking again and again you can say this is how it is that's how will always be or we can rise together for the sake of humanity cuz the earth she is screaming, screaming for a change don't you see her bleeding don't you think it's strange that it's summer in November, some say it's cuz were in hell but I've seen heaven at my back door and this much I can tell there is something bigger than you or me than the color of our skin or making money it's bigger than I hate and it's bigger than fear and when we're gone it'll still be here how do we break the cycle how do we break the chain are the questions we keep asking again and again you can say this is how it is that's how will always be or we can rise together for the sake of humanity so the choice is up to you can you rise above can you stand up for those that are hurt can you show them love cuz it's all a matter of perspective whatever you choose to see it's just a reflection of yourself reflected off of me and I've heard people say after dark there is light let us help each other through the dark here, take my flashlight

I'm going down baby, Im stumbling and hungry I'm going down help me I'm confused and hurting When they go low we go high I'm going down I've fallen I'm desperate and starving I'm going down baby don't think that I have much longer When they go low we go high Left and right I've been Don't know up from down anymore Wrong and right have happened So now how do we settle the score? While others play King and queen I've been left in between I can't stand it anymore Yeah I can't stand it anymore Yeah I can't stand it anymore I'm going down baby, Im stumbling and hungry I'm going down help me I'm confused and hurting When they go low we go high I'm going down I've fallen with calloused hands and bruised knees I'm going down baby I think that I'll take you with me When they go lower go high Down this rabbit hole again With a broken back and heart They say they're trying to keep us together But we've never been further apart With this broken back and heart We've never been further apart I'm going down baby, Im stumbling and hungry I'm going down help me I'm confused and hurting When they go low we go high

----------------- an artist's duty ----------------- "An artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times. I think that is true of painters, sculptors, poets, musicians. As far as I’m concerned, it’s their choice, but I CHOOSE to reflect the times and situations in which I find myself. That, to me, is my duty. And at this crucial time in our lives, when everything is so desperate, when everyday is a matter of survival, I don’t think you can help but be involved. Young people, black and white, know this. That’s why they’re so involved in politics. We will shape and mold this country or it will not be molded and shaped at all anymore. So I don’t think you have a choice. How can you be an artist and NOT reflect the times? That to me is the definition of an artist." --Nina Simone

Tell me how to be and I'll say I told you so I've been wrong before but I never really know It's all there if you look open up, read a book tune right in and you'll see here i am, peace on earth it's simple peace on earth (rpt to infinity)

about

We have a long fight ahead of us, and we all need music to lift us up and keep us fighting. Together, we wrote and collected protest songs for a compilation album that will help raise $1000 for the ACLU to help fight our president elect's attempts to strip civil rights. Throughout the album, songs range from folk, punk, ambient, rock, quiet, loud, distressed, and hopeful. From 23 different bands, all the songs emphasize community, validity of emotions, and strength. We hope you can come back to this album whenever you need a light in the darkness. KEEP ON FIGHTING!

With love,
Special Passenger Records

update - We donated $550 to the ACLU on 2/28!!!!
