(Political Poem) Baking Cookies

Personally I prefer to bake my own.
Then rely on a system so corrupt.
I honestly and truthfully believe in hard work.
No matter how many crooks stand over me waiting to steal from my jar as well.
It is disappointing and makes me angry at times.
The crimes that we commit for things we don't even need.
An overindulgence in gluttony.
But it comes down to this.
They need us more then we need them.
No matter the monetary system created.
No matter the thievery so jaded.
It is still not really that complicated.
Even as their are those who act like it is.
Just so they can receive one more handout before they have to go.
Just one last scam.
Come on man.
I say no.
Not this time.
Collapse the system go ahead.
And forgive me if I start laughing at you.
Even with all your threats I know.
For you rely on it more the I do.

The whole universe is carried on on the credit system, and if the mutual confidence on which it is based were to collapse, it must itself collapse immediately. Just or unjust, it lives by faith; it is based on vague and impalpable opinion that by some inscrutable process passes into will and action, and is made manifest in matter and in flesh: it is meteoric — suspended in mid-air; it is the baseless fabric of a vision so vast, so vivid, and so gorgeous that no base can seem more broad than such stupendous baselessness, and yet any man can bring it about his ears by being over-curious; when faith fails, a system based on faith fails also. Whether the universe is really a paying concern, or whether it is an inflated bubble that must burst sooner or later, this is another matter. If people were to demand cash payment in irrefragable certainty for everything that they have taken hitherto as paper money on the credit of the bank of public opinion, is there money enough behind it all to stand so great a drain even on so great a reserve?

Shock To My System

So there I stood, square on my side of the great divide
A message came across a void
And for the first time in my life
Im awake, Im alive
I thought I was immune to this
til I felt the static charges in the air
I touch you, youre a live wire
Youre the raw fire burning in my heart
And it took me by surprise, thats no lie
You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system
A spark, a real shock
You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system
You start I cant stop
You taught me how to listen, shock to my system
My soul, my skin, you plug me in
And all of my pain is gone just like it never was
For the first time in my life I know what I feel
Now every time we touch Im caught off my guard
Thats no lie
You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system,
A spark, a real shock
You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system
You start I cant stop
You taught me how to listen shock to my system
Shock to my system
Shock to my system
You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system
You start I cant stop...

Scam

Written by jay kay, stuart zender and toby smith
You say you fight to give us freedom
But often more than not this is abused
And the faces of a tired generation
Have decided they are sick of being used
For the purpose of current declarations
Still the same, it will never change until the end
Is to buy the appreciation of the nation
To cover the mistakes you must defend
And you say there will be a chance for eveyone
To protest against your calculated greed
But I can see into the future
Wont be long before the welfare
Send me letters telling me how much they need
And its not been in my interest to please them
For the only interest rate to fall is mine
See a brand new generation is demanding
What youve been doing with our money all this time
Scam, people try to live at the speed of light
Scam, dont know why but Ive got to do the things I do
Scam, give me ten, thats the move I give you five
Scam, people say its the way to stay alive
So you see you have to be a schemer
If you wanna love the life you have to live
And I dont matter how much I earn
Cos I always get my fingers burned
When the man gets down to his business
And Ive been searching for a reason
Why I have to give it all up just I want to get ahead
See I had to lose car, job, wife, dog and home
Debts and threats on the phone
Maybe I should bust a move instead
Now we all know when we watch television
Not confused between a puppet or conviction
Glued to the screen by a thousand shallow words of wisdom
It aint what it seems when its a single sided system
Someones got to hold on my living
So Im gonna have to do the thing thats fair
They got to justify for what I should be giving
Should I lie, should I steal or should I care
Cos now Ive got to scam!

Rich Girl

Youre a rich girl, and youve gone too far
cause you know it dont matter anyway
You can rely on the old mans money
You can rely on the old mans money
I ts a bitch girl but its gone too far
cause you know it dont matter anyway
Say money but it wont get you too far,
Get you too far
And dont you know, dont you know
That its wrong to take what is given you
So far gone, on your own
You can get along if you try to be strong
But youll never be strong
cause
Youre a rich girl, and youve gone too far
cause you know it dont matter anyway
You can rely on the old mans money
You can rely on the old mans money
Its a bitch girl and its gone too far
cause you know it dont matter anyway
Say money but it wont get you too far,
Get you too far
High and dry, out of the rain
Its so easy to hurt others when you cant feel pain
And dont you know that a love cant grow
cause theres too much to give, cause youd rather live
For the thrill of it all, oh
Youre a rich girl, and youve gone too far
cause you know it dont matter anyway
You can rely on the old mans money
You can rely on the old mans money
Its a bitch girl and its gone too far
cause you know it dont matter anyway
Say money but it wont get you too far,
Say money but it wont get you too far,
Say money but it wont get you too far,
Get you too far
And you say
You can rely on the old mans money
You can rely on the old mans money
Youre a rich girl, a rich girl
Oh, youre a rich rich girl yeah
Say money but it wont get you too far,
Oh, get ya too far

You Are In My System

Day by day and night by night
I feel you in my mind
It happens all the time
You know the day dreams stop
My heart beats on
I cant take it any more
It's you I live for
You are in my system
You are in my system
I just want you to know that,
You are in my system
You oooohhhh youre in my system, system
Dont you, Dont you, dont you know that, babe.
I will keep on pushing, pushing, pushing
Until I get through
My main objective baby is to get to you
To turn your mind around
I know will take time
But you know I can wait, now
Youre on my mind
You are in my system
I just want you to know that,
You are in my system
Got me burning, Im on fire
You, youre in my system
Youre everything I need
You, oooohhhh, youre in my system, system
Dont you, Dont you, dont you know that, babe.
Its a romantic vision of me and you
It happens all the time
My dreams are filled with you
Theres no doubt in my mind
That Ill be true baby
You know Ill take you out
And Ill keep lovin you
Oh baby you are in my system,
I just want you to know that
You are in my system
Cut me right down to the wire
You, ooohh, youre in my system
Got me burning Im on fire
You, youre in my system
Cant make believe
You, youre in my system
Youre everything I need
You, Ooohh, youre in my system
I just want you to know that
You, youre my system
Got me burning Im on fire
You, youre in my system

Any Way At All

We never know
Where the winds of love
Will carry
Our hearts unfold
Into the hands of time
Nothing will ever change
This love we share
No matter what it takes
I will be there
When the sun goes high
You pray for
Clouds to break
Reach up to the sky
And pray for it to rain
When the times get hard
You rely on
Your faith
Will be together
If theres any way at all
It theres any way at all
Dont be afraid
Cause were in
This love together
Will ride the waves
til we reach the other side
Your love is life to me
None can compare
No matter what it takes
I will be there
When the sun goes high
You pray
Clouds to break
If theres any way
At all
Well be together baby
If theres any way
At all
Well be together forever and
Ever
Reach up to the sky
And pray for it to rain
When the times get hard
You rely on
Your faith
Will be together
If theres any way at all
If theres any way at all
If theres any way at all...

System Of Life

Now its time to look in your eyes
Youre so much better its no surprise
Its like a mirror is watching you
Maybe the words been broken - dont be no fool
Following the lights you see like a rolling train
Yesterday is gone - tomorrows in your hands
Something youve had is gone - dont wish it back
Let it go - dont run away - its nothing youll forget
You know the rules dont need no warning
Theres only one way to find the clue
Inside you so let it go
System of life - be the hunted or the hunter
System of life
System of life - its always by your side
System of life - the one and only way to live in harmony
Dont paint a picture full of love and hate
Paradise is here - but exceptions prove the rules
Sometimes it feels just like a dream becoming true
Close your eyes - look inside - it will never be the same
cause for your life there aint no warning
So stand up and fight to find the clue
So watch out you live and learn
Its the
System of life - be the broken or the breaker
System of life
Its the
System of life - its always real and true
System of life - the one and only way to live in harmony
Yeah - yeah
Oh, its the
System of life - be the hunted or the hunter
System of life
Its the
System of life - its always by your side
System of life - the one and only way to live in harmony
Its the
System of life - be the taken or the taker
System of life
Its the
System of life - its always real and true
System of life

Everybody Gets The Blues

It don't matter if you're rich
It don't make no differenve if you're poor
Simple things in like can make you mad to the core
It doesn't matter if you're young
Don't make no difference if you're old
You got to stand a little rain
Before you reach your pot of gold
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Take the good with the bad
Take the lows with the highs
Well you work and you worry
Spend your life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues
Ain't no different for a woman
Than it is for a man
Everybody goes dancing
Everybody pays the band
Everybody got to take
Everybody got to give
Everybody got to live
Don't matter if you're fat
Don't matter if you're thin
Everybody got to lose
Everybody got to win
Don't matter if you're black
Don't matter if you're white
You know you got to get it wrong
To have a chance to make it right

Rely On Me

Writers: leo sayer & alan tarney
Rely on me
Devil take tomorrow
Take these blues away
Too much pain and sorrow
All our yesterdays
Theres a world a waiting
Where you reap just what you sow
No good contemplating
So come with me and watch it grow
Rely on me
Rely on me
Rely on me
I will set you free
Ill break down the walls and set you free
Moon is bright in my sky
Nightingale sings sweet sweet
Youre the song in my heart
Put your faith in me
Lets not cool the spirit
Waste each others time
Its my world I want you in it
Trust in me and what were sure to find
Rely on me
Rely on me
Rely on me
I will set you free
Ill break down the walls and set you free
Rely on me
Rely on me

I will set you free
Ill break down the walls and set you free

Let It Burn

Knowledge is key.
You can never know too much.
Open your books aim to the stars
Well i won't let them
Keep me from learning all i can.
Public schools just stand up.
The system feeds our minds.
Did the system tell you about democracy?
The same system that supported slavery?
And doesn't it seem strange that
When we try to make a change
To lock us up and throw away the key.
I won't let you
Play me for a fool
Set me free to go to church
But i cant pray in school.
Make a decision for yourself
Don't bother with any trends
Open up a book
And share the knowledge with your friends.
Did the system tell you about democracy?
The same system that created slavery?
And doesn't it seem strange that
When we try to make a change
To lock us up and throw away the key.

Enth E Nd (Kutmasta Kurt Feat. Motion Man)

hey yo, when this first started off it was just Linkin Park, and then in the middle came motion man and at the end of it all it was Kutmasta Kurt with a remix( the remix)
[Shinoda]
One thing, I dont why it doesnt even matter how hard you try keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme when I was obsessed with time. all I know, time was just sliping away, and i watched it count to the end of the day. watched it watch me and the words that i say. they echo in the clock rythem in my veins. i know that i didnt look out below when i watched the time go right out the window. trying to grabhold, tyring not to watch. i wasted it all on the hands of the clock. but in the end, no matter what i pretend the journey is more important than end or the start and what it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard.
[Chester]
I tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end it doesnt even matter. i had to fall, to lose it all, but in the end, it doesnt even matter.
[Motion Man]
Hey yo one thing (one thing), i dont know why. it doesnt even matter how hard you try. keep that in mind. I designed this rhyme to explain in due time. all i know, I so-socialize like the host of the party and spost shake the need, I contact. party the toe strong all mat, northeast, southwest coast. im staring out the window at the opportunity to Mendel. i tried disorda your weak in your system and i defordered. i brought you back into things, like the imagionary man of your dreams. youd always seem to make it worth it. a pig skin, i never nerfed it. you felt lever never pleather real bringing the pleasure. by any means it means Im leaving your teens,. holler for teen magizens, but i tried so hard.
[Chester]
Tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end it dosnt even matter. i had to fall, to lose it all, but in the end, it doesnt even matter.
[Shinoda, Motion Man]
Linkin Park! remix motion man
Linkin Park! the end (the end) kutmasta kurt
Linkin Park! remix motion man
Linkin Park! the end (the end) kutmasta kurt remix
[Shinoda]
One thing, i dont know how. it doesnt even matter when you look at it now. cuz when designed this rhyme, i was scared of it all. scared to fall, and hadnt even tried to crawl. but i was forced to run, with you mockin me. stoppin me, back stabbing me constantly. remembering all the times you faught with me. watched the clock mount chock full of hip-hopcrisy. and now your mouth wishes it could inhail, every single little thing you said to make things fail. every single word you sputtered to just to get you peace, but it doesnt really matter to me, cuz from the start to the end, no matter what i pretend, the journey is more important than the end or the start. and what it meant to me will eventuly be a memory of a time when i tried so hard.
[Chester]
Tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end it doesnt even matter. I had to fall, to lose it all, but in the end, it doesnt even matter.

Right Behind You (Mafia)

You you you you you)
You haven't seen the world outside for days.
You sleep,
You hope,
You wait.
Imagination disappears and all the dreams you have,
You save.
Confrontation like a mirror they try to take your mind away.
(Hey hey)
I don't know, but I believe in yesterday
And what it means to bleed
And know that you're okay.
(Are you waiting?)
No matter what you say,
No matter what you do,
No matter what I'm always right there behind you.
No matter what you say,
No matter what you do,
No matter what I'm always right there behind you.
(You you you you you)
Bombarded by the atmosphere
You breathe,
You choke,
You breathe, again.
Conversation disappears,
You realize they're not your friends.
The panic of the future rears.
You dig,
You jerk,
You find another way.
(Hey hey)
I don't know, but I believe in yesterday
And what it means to bleed
And know that you're okay.
(Are you waiting?)
No matter what you say,
No matter what you do,
No matter what I'm always right there behind you.
No matter what you say,
No matter what you do,
No matter what I'm always right there behind you.
You opened up my face,
No I dont feel the same. (no no no)
You opened up my brain,
But I wont be with haste. (no no no)
(X4)
No matter what you say,
No matter what you do,
No matter what I'm always right there behind you

Justice For Who?

Frantic lives
In this twisted time
Work all you might
And begin to fight

No system of justice
No real freedom at all
Our rights are our wrongs
Who can tell whose sane now

Find out what you want to do with your precious life
They will tell you
But it is all the same
You will never win this game

Never win at all
No matter how hard you try
Study every book to get ahead
To just be left for dead

Just like the rest
You didn't want to settle for less
And now you all fall down
Just like they wanted you to do

Make them win
To see them smile
And laugh in fame
And justice for all

Theres Always Goodbye

(richards)
Ever since that first night
When I gave my love to you
Everything seemed so right
You are my sunlight shining through
And I tried so not to let it show
Yet it seems sad because I know
No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I try
Theres always goodbye
You smile softly as you leave my bed
And I tightly hold your hand
You lean down to kiss my head
But theres nothing to be said
And if you said you want to sing
I know youd soon be on your way
No matter how hard we try
No matter how hard we try
Theres always goodbye
So here we stand, you and i
You are too kind and Im too shy
To say what we really mean
So we make life a masquerade
Never showing all, only the parts we played
Chorus
No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I try
Theres always goodbye
Theres always goodbye
(repeat)

You Matter To Me

Look up, the sky is crying
Endless tears
Feels like my whole worlds dying
It hurts when youre not here
cause you matter to me and thats why
You still matter to me
And thats the only reason I need, to get by
You still matter to me, yes you do
I aint no good at talkin
So girl Im tellin you straight
My heart feels just like an orphan
I hope Im not too late
cause you matter to me and thats why (and thats why)
You still matter to me
And thats the only reason I need, to get by
You still matter to me, yes you do
If I could have just one wish
Id stand you in my place
Then youd know how much I miss you
Youll never be replaced
cause you matter to me and thats why (and thats why)
You still matter to me
And thats the only reason I need, to get by
You still matter to me, yes you do

And thats the only reason I need, to get by
