We should all be obliged to appear before a board every five years and justify our existence... on pain of liquidation.

Shut Down The Canadian Parole Board

SHUT DOWN THE CANADIAN PAROLE BOARD JUNE 23RD,2012
BY
JAMES BREDIN



Why do we have to listen and obey the Parole Board pantomime?
And why can't these prisoners be required to serve all of their time?
And the Parole Board should be shut down for at least twenty years,
They are the problem that allow killers free without tears.




Killers back on the street is a reason why parole boards should be shut down,
If we had binding referendums, we could bring this around,
We don't even have set-date elections as released killers walk free,
As they all claim Trudeau's Charter Rights and the Parole Boards agree.




Parole Boards justify their existence by setting prisoners free,
And no one questions this or any of the high-up appointees,
It's a form of social cancer that should be changed and cut out,
Just eliminate the Parole Boards and the accompanying doubt.

The Guilty One

I was never the one
guilty guilty guilty
of not not loving
the other enough.

You were meant
to be with me
but you are not.


Therefore
you were not
equal to

a great love
or the sacrifices
needed.


Were you too afraid
to commit to love
in a material age
where everything is sold
at market price?


Does your job
justify justify justify
your menial pleasures

or is your existence life
still meaningless
with status but no love?

All Over You

the sap is rising
and there's no disguising
what I feel for you
so mesmerising
got me fantasising
nothing I won't do
parascending, whoa oh
but it's all depending
on your sky so blue
my wings keep stalling
from the sky I'm falling
and it's over - all over you
all over you
let me build a nation
that bears no relation to the one we knew
take inspiration
from my own salvation
'cause it's over - all over you
get on board the gravy train
off the rails if you don't keep me sane
justify the things I do
just believe that it's all over you
all over you
the sap is rising
and there's no disguising
what I feel for you
so mesmerising
got me fantasising
and it's over - all over you
[Spoken]
through the heat-haze and the blue
I will shimmer and distort
and become what you always knew
but were never taught in this sad time
take on board the things I say
just be sure that you'll be mine someday
justify the things I do
just believe that it's all over you
all over you
the sap is rising
got me fantasising
so mesmerising
and there's no disguising
that it's over - all over you

Justify

Babys gone
Said shes movin on
Telling me
I aint comin along
I thought you said you were satisfied
Youve given up on everything we tried for, why?
How can you justify sacrificing our love
Justify
Sacrificing our love
Smoking gun
Hoid it in your hand
You cant deny
Im the victim of your plan
Innocence with a guilty side
I dont understand
Tell me why oh why
How can you justify sacrificing our love
Justify
Sacrificing our love
Lonely hearts finally find a home
Then they part
Like everybody does
Guess the love meant more to me
Go your way
But I cant see... why
How can you justify sacrificing our love
Justify
Sacrificing our love

Jusitfy My Love (Orbit 12" Mix)

I wanna kiss you in Paris
I wanna hold your hand in Rome
I wanna run naked in a rainstorm
Make love in a train cross-country
You put this in me
So now what, so now what?
Chorus:
Wanting, needing, waiting
For you to justify my love
Hoping, praying
For you to justify my love
I want to know you
Not like that
I don't wanna be your mother
I don't wanna be your sister either
I just wanna be your lover
I wanna be your baby
Kiss me, that's right, kiss me
(chorus)
Yearning, burning
For you to justify my love
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
Talk to me -- tell me your dreams
Am I in them?
Tell me your fears
Are you scared?
Tell me your stories
I'm not afraid of who you are
We can fly!
Poor is the man
Whose pleasures depend
On the permission of another
Love me, that's right, love me
I wanna be your baby
(chorus)
I'm open and ready
For you to justify my love
To justify my love
Wanting, to justify
Waiting, to justify my love
Praying, to justify
To justify my love
I'm open, to justify my love

Without the ones I love, Without the god above.

Without the ones I love
Without the god above
I am of but of the weak
An existence so bleak
They say come on man you should really turn the other cheek

Listen to every word I speak
I'm here to teach
So mistakes won't be repeated
A heart that I can't stop the bleeding
With my words I can only hope I'm reaching
Let distance divide
Still I shall try to change the tides

Without the ones I love
Without the god above
I am of but of the weak
An existence so bleak
They say come on man you should really turn the other cheek

Listen to every word I speak
For I'm not here cause I like to preach
Pain can be prevented with right medicine
An antidote with and injection
A simple confession
To my self
And everyone else

Without the ones I love
Without the god above
I am of but of the weak
An existence so bleak
They say come on man you should really turn the other cheek

Listen to every word I speak
My intent is not of the cheap
Bury all the greed in the dead sea
For it is dead to me
I've done things in my time I'm not proud of
I've made up reasons that start with because
I tried to justify the why
It engulfed the sky

Without the ones I love
Without the god above
I am of but of the weak
An existence so bleak
They say come on man you should really turn the other cheek

Listen to every word I speak
I must eat
Not because want to, but because I need to
Someone has to keep this body alive
Through those evil eyes I watched you die
Didn't lift a finger, you said it was what you wanted
Didn't try to stop you, figured you wouldn't go through with it
But you did and now it is so hard to forgive

Without the ones I love
Without the god above
I am of but of the weak
An existence so bleak
They say come on man you should really turn the other cheek

Justify My Love

Wanting, waiting for you to justify my love
I want you to chew my balls
In Paris, Niagara Falls
I want you to lick my toes
Los Angeles, San Francisco
With the fags and the ho's.
Wanting, waiting for you to justify my love
For you to justify my love...
Oh oh oh oh.
Oh oh oh oh.
Wanting, waiting for you to justify my love
Wanting, waiting for you to justify my love

On A Path Of Least Resistance

I'm on a path of least resistance.
And its existence.
On a path of least resistance.

I'm on a path of least resistance,

And its existence.
Felt,
And its existence.
Hurts,
In this existence...
And I need to get away.

And I need to get away.

On a path of least resistance.
And I need to get away.

Rationality

What is pain?
An ill constructed metamorphosis
Of rationality gone sour?
Good for nothing other than
Self regulated depression.
To think and to feel is all.
And when emptiness is a bedmate
Who holds you in her arms at night?
When loneliness is not a feeling
So much as a way of life,
What then is our rationality?
Rationality pulls at the worms
Of cogency like a hungry ha-de-da
Dismembering each one,
Tasting the earth of our existences
And then discarding them for dead.
I could be rational; to what end?
So I can justify my pain, my
Depression, my cogency of emptiness?
If I must feel the way I do
I ask just one favour:
That you do not rationalize me
And condemn me to some
Pseudo justifiable existence.
Life is only rational when you forget to live.

Passing Trains In The Night

A train passes by
Only five minutes walk
From my door to the track
I’d like to board that train
Riding somewhere away from here
Where old memories linger
Like stains on the future
I’d like to escape
My nine to five existence
Only I’m kept comfortably
By routine and responsibility
Now too old to change
Take that five minute walk
Board that train
Go someplace away from here
No I’m set in my ways
Listening to trains pass by
While I wait to grow old
Make a complaint, die
I’ll just sleep now

Who Was The Guilty One?

One was never the one
guilty guilty...
of not loving
other partner enough.

You were meant
to be with me...
eternally but your not.


Therefore
committed you were not...
equal to

a great love
or supreme sacrifices...
needed.


Were you too afraid
to commit to love...
in a gross material age

where everything
is sold at...
market price?


Does your job status
justify justify...
your menial existence?

Or is your life
still meaningful...
with status but no love?

Or is your life
still meaningless...
with status but no love?


One life in the material
where status reigns supreme.
One life in the ephemeral
walking back beyond between.

Throughout the Years

Throughout the years I've bottled up this pain
Held onto it even though it almost killed me
I don't know why I bottled it all inside
I guess I thought nobody would understand

I was right nobody does understand
It's a different kind of pain
Pain of agony and desperation

Pain has followed me everywhere throughout the years
I swear I was born with it
Being in pain is nothing new with me

I was just made this way
Made to be broken and in pain
But throughout the years it feels like it has gotten worse than before

I feel so trapped and alone
Wish someone would and could save me
I need to be set free
