Out in the wild with my wallet wide open I jumped the ‘stile ‘cause the ticket’s gone Mind the output gap for we’re a-slumming They got reasons for the right to wrong. Just around the corner maybe I can see the sun Turn it on, brother turn it on for everyone Turn it on, sister turn it on for everyone Here we come BABY for revolutions in the sun. Climbed the Empire and the World Trade Center Just to prove that I’m still strong A chorus of cops and cheers on the edges Of a ledger —but I do want to talk. Just around the corner… Phillips’s got a curve that tightens all the belts While the men in the tower scoop the dough El Dorado pleasures in systematic errors But every cook can govern-- don’t you know? Just around the corner…

Well, the dawn is breaking, and I’m ready for some hating The big bad sun is shining deep inside A long, long shadow reaches across the road And knocks on my window and tells me to go… (knock-knock) So, what did I see on the Sunset way? A Lamborghini lunches on its prey Sucking up secrets from a hamburger cup It’s just another day in the Optimist’s Parking Lot. The TV frontier land defies The bloody red wine of failed designs What they stole I never ever bought Branded soil and Pharma stocks Here come placebos from a cocktail crew Lester jester David and Nora too Lest we undo those giant knots It’s just another day in the Optimist’s Parking Lot. Elephants are dancing with guns on the Hill They’ll do what they want/ it’s triumph of the will The windows are broken, and the halls are breached Camp town races on endless repeat Texas is backwards and Flo’s obsolete Slaves are born from the things they teach There’s a fifty-fifty chance that we will get stopped It’s just another day in the Optimist’s Parking Lot. High-class prophets trade in people’s lives Take to the street/or be dumped on the side Offshore crimes lure heartland rot They weren’t told when the theatre stops And qualified immunity is for bluish lives Forward is backwards in feckless times I dream of a chicken in every pot It’s just another day in the Optimist’s Parking Lot. Let it Roll…

We love you nah nah nah We need you no no no It’s your conscience that they’re after And it will go as planned if we don’t make a stand It’s just another… string of disasters. In the square is Mr. Moonlight His church and state are aligned Then pulls a buck from the bucket And rewrites colonial times. We love you nah nah nah We need you no no no It’s your body that they’re after And it will go as planned if we don’t make a stand It’s just another… string of disasters. Before the clinic door is Mr. Bore He knows how women are designed He lobbies for no exceptions See, the baby has his eyes We love you nah nah nah We need you no no no It’s your power that they are after And it will go as planned if we don’t make a stand It’s just another… string of disasters. On the bench is Judge Baton Rouge Who knows which people shouldn’t Vote Beneath her robe is the gavel To hammer anyone who’s woke We love you nah nah nah We need you no no no It’s your money that they are after And it will go as planned if we don’t make a stand It’s just another string of disasters. On the tube is Teflon Guru He keeps his people mesmerized Well, one will win and 99 will lose Because the truths are always lies We love you nah nah nah We need you no no no It’s your life that they’re after And it will go as planned if we don’t make a stand It’s just another string of disasters. At the mall is Captain Empire Waving his AK45 He’s got a thing for G.I. Joe He needs to kill just to survive We love you nah nah nah We need you no no no…

No history is wasted if you want it --you got it right now No history is wasted if you want it --you got it right now The wisdom of the ages—if you want it, you got it right now No history is wasted if you want it --you got it right now When the people move forward, and the leaders move back When the people move forward, and the leaders move back And we got the sun as it crosses our path And we will be marching along How long? ---So long… When the people move forward, and the PACs move back When the people move forward, and the PACs move back And we got the sun up-upon our backs And we will be marching along How long? ----So long… The sound of the sun is the bomb of the air The song of our greatest need On the day you were born There was a dream What will you do for humanity? How long? ----So long… When the people move forward, and the Press moves back When the people move forward, and the Press moves back And we got the sun as it crosses our path and we will be marching along How long? ----So long… No future is wasted if you want it --you got it right now No future is wasted if you want it --you got it right now The voices from the prisons—if you want it, you got it right now No future is wasted if you want it –you get it right now…

Freedom—not so dumb Freedom--- not for some If you can understand your fellow man Or anyone else No one for a shelf But to make the world a commonwealth Freedom—not so dumb Freedom--- not for some None for sale and no more hell Protect us from the laws of the land All below and nowhere else So, pack the courts and pack the jails Freedom—not so dumb Freedom--- not for some It won’t matter from where you came The skin you got or how you changed Never mind the class you’re in Forgive the God who made wrong decisions Freedom—not so dumb Freedom--- not for some Puerto Rico 51 DC 52 Tangled up in red, white and blue…

It takes a village to fight the pillage See the arrow in this song And the question of our direction Leads us to the place where we belong Rising-up from a zero Send the bosses to the cage And the gravel in your travel Leads to a world that we can save There’s a party of a million strong Ready to sing this revolution song... Greener fields grow instructions Lead a life for the stars Generations are the timbers For the fire that you will cause Working for your sister and brother We are here for each other In the streets and in the jungle We open maps to be discovered There’s a party of a million strong Ready to sing this revolution song... I can’t complain, so I will conquer The wrath of reactionary authors And kill them all with my daughters They carry the wisdom of our martyrs Love is shining for the future And we won’t tell them where we are Until the moment of insurrection And btw, this is no coup for the Czar There’s a party of a million strong Ready to sing this revolution song...

Comradery Feel the green of The beautiful earth beneath our feet Break the concrete--and let us breathe Together we can dream Bread and roses for you and me Mangos and goodness and vitamin D… Comradery Feel the green of The beautiful earth beneath our feet Seize the concrete, and set us free And together free the dream Some people fly to the moon But I don’t care There are plenty of things for us to do Way down here… Comradery Feel the green of The beautiful earth beneath our feet

Well, it sure looks to me like you got the flu Could it be what the Cap-Demos did to you? They stole the garden and switched it for a bag of bones And the factory is now your home Send all regrets to the couch and phone They make you feel so alone All alone, and no way out, but… Don’t you know what it’s all about? Open your eyes to the permanent revolution Ain’t no surprise when you come to realize a real solution Form a line to the left for their intent is to destroy you… Well, I see the branding upon your skin Could you be my kind of next of kin? Well, school never really taught us how to be friends So, go smash the windows and start again Four steps more before an open door Where the soldiers scout the artists for an endless war Where the rainbow rings to the hammer’s swing. Open your eyes to the permanent revolution Ain’t no surprise when you come to realize a real solution Hands across the ocean in a land that’s far too gone… The cloud that you dream on is now the ground You own it now, for crying out loud And for all of us to be so proud There are no questions for your doubts Today we jump through exploding frames Tomorrow we cut right through their gains Napoleons fall-fast upon the floor Do it now and so do it some more. Open your eyes to the permanent revolution Ain’t no surprise when you come to realize a real solution Form a line to the left for their intent is to destroy you… The workers will inherit the earth And the billionaires will lose their worth…
