DRILL BABY DRILL (free) 02:45
SONG LYRICS: Let's appoint a commission. Try and place the blame. Start legal maneuverings. You know the game. Withhold information Don't let the public know Limit Liability! Meanwhile oil flows Drill Baby Drill So we sit and we talk And talk some more Start partisan bickering Dead sea life washes ashore Every minute wasted On political games Means more sea life lost Have they gone insane? Drill Baby Drill Speedy Drilling Greed Damaged blowout seal 70,000 barrels a day Time to get real As the Gulf Coast turns to dead zone Devoid of all life Oil Plume underwater Too late to make it right Drill Baby Drill Damage Control! That's all we can do When will it end? Nobody has a clue Turn you back on Nature Try and cover your a$$ testify to congress They liked your campaign cash Drill Baby Drill Drill Baby Drill Drill Baby Drill

SONG LYRICS Ever since the beginning of time Mother Nature has a rhythm and rhyme Then Man came along With his industrial crimes Human race can only survive If we stand by Mother Nature’s side She’s suffered our abuse Up to her to decide Can we win back trust or will she leave us behind? If war and killing wasn’t enough Man pollutes the air with poisonous stuff Burns rainforests and fill the ocean with oil Instrumental All God’s creatures have their place It’s not just about the human race Everything’s connected And what gives us the right To kill and destroy all that beautiful life Global warming is upon us now Took us a while to figure it out And now that we know We need to turn it around And now we talk of being green Promoting clean energy While we burn fossil fuel And build our war machines And worry about the world economy Will we ever learn to live in harmony Will we ever learn to live responsibly Will there ever be a time when we can live in peace Instrumental Mother Nature’s gonna take a stand ‘Cause she’s tired of being raped by greedy man Being stripped of precious gifts every single day She’s left battered and bruised and laid to waste I see an innocent Childs face They can help us illuminate Shine the light of Love On the darkness of Hate Ever since the beginning of time Mother Nature has a rhythm and rhyme Let’s be thankful for All that she provides She asks nothing in return For sustaining life Our time here on earth Is just a blink of her eye

Hate (free) 05:55
SONG LYRICS When you were born you didn’t know how to hate Came into the world an innocent soul with a clean slate As you grew up then you looked around the schoolyard Went to make some new friends but they called you ugly names and hit you hard You came to me tears rolling down your face Broke my heart to tell you that they’ve already learned to hate So as you walk through life remember to avoid People who hate their fellow man and are looking to destroy CHORUS: Just because someone else hates you...doesn’t mean...you need to feel the hatred too We might just end up saving the world But it starts with you my friend...and all our little boys and girls Put aside your differences....and preconceived beliefs Believe in Love then we can all...start living in Peace You asked me “daddy how did the world ended up this way?” All I can hope for is when you grow up you’ll be OK So never be afraid to stand for peace and love Don’t let fear take over……learn to rise above Stay away from people who always believe they’re right They’re only really looking to start a fight And religious extremists on both sides would have you believe like them or go away or die CHORUS Beware of corporate media news…..reports on war They’ll treat it like a sports game and just keep score They’ll give it some ridiculous name and hype it for prime time Gotta keep the sponsors happy and meet the bottom line Don’t even bother anymore to tell the people what’s wrong The days of good night and good luck are now long gone So take these lessons you've learned and pass them on Go out in the world and sing your song CHORUS

SONG LYRICS Somehow we lost our way Nowhere to turn today Somewhere In the USA A child’s without a home Well there’s something I can’t reconcile Some children haven’t eaten in a while While some billionaires are living in style While a child’s without a home This Is Wrong Three Decades of Wall Street Greed Went unnoticed by the SEC Caused a crash of our economy Now a child’s without a home People watch homes foreclose Lost jobs when the economy froze A school provides food and clothes To help children without homes This is wrong And our government should be ashamed They had decades to stop greedy games Yet they chose to look the other way Another child’s without a home We pay out bonuses to billionaires Nobody asked if that was even fair To the homeless child standing over there Dreaming about a home This is wrong
