An Intricate Part Of Economics
If fraud was eliminated,
From playing an intricate part of economics...
The use of delusion would not exist.
Manipulated minds would not find,
Hospitals as institutions to cure their illinesses.
Bankers would not charge,
Such exorbitant interest rates...
To build and create tremendous monolithic monuments.
If fraud was eliminated,
From playing an intricate part of economics.
And...
If corruption was not celebrated,
By those self righteous selling images...
Of themselves being celebrated as reflections of GOD,
And churches were not visited to symbolize materialism...
As a direct way to pray to obtain a feeling of success,
Taxes paid to increase what's in the pockets of thieves...
Would leave all who believe the achieving of happiness,
Depends on the taking of medication to decrease and numb...
The effects of mental stress

Life and Happiness
Happiness in life each year now,
Takes brute strength, like pushing a cow,
Pray do not ask how,
The spider spins an intricate web around life,
A magic web now is around life
Happiness is what we make it,
Life can be better than music, if we let it,
Music can fill the air with life and happiness,
There is music in life and happiness, if we let it happen,
Everyday sounds around that intricate web of life,
Protected by that magic web,
Happiness in life each year now,
Takes brute strength, like pushing a cow,
Pray do not ask how,
Take brute strength, like pushing a cow,
That intricate web around life, is magic,
Life can be enjoyed, create happiness around you,
Music can fill the air with life and happiness,
Life takes brute strength, as you imagine,
A hidden strength,
Work at life and happiness, each day, each year,
Let that spider who spins an intricate web around life,
Now a magic web, create life and happiness.

You And This War
You are part of this war. You
pay taxes. You are not part of this
war. No one in charge cares what
you think. You are part of this
war. You go to work each day
and remain quiet on the subject.
You pave the path of least
resistance. You are not part of this
war. You watch images of it and
read words about it from a great
distance. You are part of this war.
You are one 200 millionths of this
nation. You are not part of this
war. You do not fight in it or
fight to stop it. You are
part of this war.

Direct And 'Hands-On' Involvement
Fraud, deceptions...
And what had once been accepted,
To defend then...
When times were easily manipulated,
By those self-righteous...
Pretending to be above their own sins.
But have become divided by accusations,
Only they have introduced and initiated!
Has come to an end.
And the one thing they seem unable to admit...
Is their direct and 'hands-on' involvement.

Numb
I loved you
You were all that I wanted
Then, I watched you
Turn into someone else
Well I'm sick of the fighting
I'm sick of just blaming myself
Well I'm sick of escaping
I'm sick of erasing
Your face and the places
That give me a trace to you
But I will never find you
I can't hold on
I'm feeling numb
From everything you do
And put me through
When I was part of you
I'm feeling numb
From holding on
To everything that you
Had put me through
When I was part of you
Well if I can deceive you
Then why can't I leave you alone
Well if everything's painful
Then why do I wait for
Your face or the place
That will give me a trace to you
But I will never find you
I can't hold on
I'm feeling numb
From everything you do
And put me through
When I was part of you
I'm feeling numb
From holding on
To everything that you
Had put me through
When I was part of you
Siento el amor
Siento el dolor
Siento el amor
Siento el calor
Siento el amor
Siento el dolor
But I will never find you
I can't hold on
I'm feeling numb
From everything you do
And put me through
When I was part of you
I'm feeling numb
From holding on
To everything that you
Had put me through
When I was part of you

Weakened By Created Nonsense
Today our lives are here to witness,
The staging of events.
Every increment of man made time,
Is to ensure fear is celebrated...
With our minds condensed in it.
Disturbance with the turbulence,
Is meant to not make sense.
Since all of us are thought to be unconscious,
To leave us weakened...
By the created nonsense.
Naturally we are born to love.
Not build fences of hatred,
Or feel a need to wear boxing gloves.
But to control is to condition.
With the selling of beliefs...
There is a need to increase suspicions.

A Toad With a Lisp?
You know what a fraud is?
'A frog? '
No!
A FRAUD.
'A toad with a lisp?
Man,
I don't know.
It's been a while,
Since I've visited this neighborhood.
Why...
You've got one in the house or something? '
I've begun to wonder,
Why I brought the subject up.
'Why don't you kill it.
You want me to kill it for you? '
No...
I'm cool.
But I have been given a lot of insight into you.
You are really quite innocent.
'You are not trying to approach me...
Are you?
'Cause you know I aint into that! '
You have no idea how grateful I am.
'Cool.
So...
You want me to help you catch the 'fraud? '
No!
My bad.
It was a mistaken identity.

Huh? '

Paradise Achieved Prosperity
materialism is too often part of problem mix
perpetuating human greed indifference in excess
materialism applied with soul vision focus
tuned to solving species global problems
should be key to achieving prosperity
spiritual golden paradise for humanity
love dream seeds hope expansion interactions
materialism is too often part of fault problems

When Is Corruption Admitted
When is the act of corruption admitted to be corrupt?
When those who denied its existence,
Now are convinced of it.
And those they offended by calling them names,
Are not heard as loudly voicing their complaints...
Or protesting to be restained by police,
From financial institutions where people have lost...
Their investments and their minds.
Leaving behind the ones who now watch,
Freed from playing truth or dare to stare at this...
As if entertained while jingling some change,
They play with that still remains in their pockets!

Ill Do Anything
Down in the warm dark part of my heart you stay
Ive been on my own for so long as I stand here today
Id never leave you
Ill do anything that you say
Ive been around some walking on the down street
Feeling as low as the soles on the shoes of my feet
Taking dead aim on fortune and fame you might say
Playing guitar doesnt make you a star anyway
Manys the time Ive wished that I were free
But my love for you was too deep for my eyes to see
Id never leave you
Ill do anything that you say
Whenever the thought seems better off left alone
I think of you then in a way that is ten times as strong
Taking dead aim on fortune and fame you might say
Playing guitar doesnt make you a star anyway
Id never leave you, Ill do anything that you say
Try to believe me, Ill do anything that you say
Though it might never grieve me, Ill do anything that you say
Please understand me, Ill do anything that you say

Astounding
Rusted metal in moonlight, orange. Monkeys can't hold it,
So they even are not worth good graces.
But who, friend, is? Motorcycle men towing old ladies,
flipping off those they pass in hatred and self-satisfaction,
Scream to be mocked, for the pomp,
Their absurdity as Camus' absurdity. And today, Whitsunday, meaninglessly, the tarantulas at the pulpit, experts in raking in dough,
Grab our soulless hearts, tug the strings of their pulpits.
Bankers are select money-grubbers, Who get off when they overfee the poor, so they can float in heated pools.
Oil concens drain your pockets as you refuel:
You are playing their fool.
And the journey you prolong unto death
Is to make the rich richer;
But bless their bloated suicide rates,
As they sit transfixed by Fox News,
Empty-headed, lily-livered, drunk with deep pockets.
Out for the honor of no one,
Not themselves either,
Because there is direct pay
Dearly in coming
Birth, stillborn,
Conjoined at the pockets with empty holes.

History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict, victory is always with economics. Vested interests have never been known to have willingly divested themselves unless there was sufficient force to compel them.

Picking Segments To Be Neglected
Different are the teachers of today,
Who are challenged to teach lessons...
To collective minds,
Sitting with a desire to be taught...
And learn in times desperate for thinkers.
A future invested can not be molested,
With a selecting to dissect...
Which part of a unified society,
Should receive a better treatment.
While picking segments to be neglected.
Those expecting to rise to leave others beneath,
Has not proven to be of benefit...
To a quality of life that has steadily decreased.
Nor has this strategy,
Eliminated a tragedy created by division.
And the need for discipline and respect is overwhelming.
As those who now see...
The feeding of ignorance and mediocrity,
Does not influence success.
Nor promises greatness to reflect the best.

Self-servicing politicians
Self-servicing politicians
Unalterable laws of economics
Formed vicious circle.
Voters are caught in net
Everything to give nothing to get
Playing of crocodile and monkey
Are being set.
Starved poor
Debt ridden farmers
Commit suicide
Policy paralysis
Administrative crisis
Debilitated middle class
Un-affordable price
Rampant corruption
Touching high.

There Is Something Really Wrong About That
There's something really wrong about that!
Those facts you ration.
There is something really wrong about that!
They're not based in truth of action.
Something really wrong about that!
Those facts you ration.
Absent is the truth of action.
Nothing is said about that.
There is something really wrong about that!
Those facts you ration.
There's something really wrong about that!
They're not based in truth of action.
Something really wrong about that!
Those facts you ration.
Absent is the truth of action.
Nothing is said about that.
Truth has been manipulated.
Something is wrong about that!
And people now themselves they hate.
Something is wrong about that!
Racism is the indicator.
Something is wrong about that!
And how one lives is too debated.
Something is wrong about that!
There is something really wrong about that!
Those facts you ration.
There's something really wrong about that!
They're not based in truth of action.
Something really wrong about that!
Those facts you ration.
Absent is the truth of action.
Nothing is said about that.
We've all been underestimated.
Something is wrong about that!
The thoughts of people are degraded.
Something is wrong about that!
Deceivers seem too much elated.
Something is wrong about that!
And truth for us has been created...
With an ease that's made..
Oh there's something really wrong about that!
Those facts you ration.
There is something really wrong about that!
They're not based in truth of action.
Something really wrong about that!
Those facts you ration.
Absent is the truth of action.
Nothing is said about that.
Something's really wrong about it.
Where are the facts?
Something's really wrong about this.
Who erased the facts?
Something's really wrong about it.
Where are the facts?
Something's really wrong about this.
Who erased the facts?
Oh there's something really wrong about that!
Who is hiding facts?
Oh there's something really wrong about that!
Keeping truth from action.
Oh there's something really wrong about that!
Who is hiding facts?
Oh there's something really wrong about that!
Keeping truth from action.
Oh there's something really wrong about that!
Who is hiding facts?
And why are facts held back?
The truth has been eliminated.
Something is wrong about that.
The truth has been eliminated.
Something is wrong about that.
The truth has been eliminated.
Something is wrong about that.
The truth has been eliminated.
Something is wrong about that.

Ladder Of Success
Now the race has begun
You are strong and you are young
Its your choice, its up to you
Be good to us and well be good to you
And you will be rewarded for conforming to our plan
The system will accept you because we understand

Winning, climbing on the ladder of success
Why take less, now youre on the ladder of success
Now weve reached the end of another school year
And those of you who are leaving us
We wish you well in your chosen careers
I see you got a job with a well established firm
Youll be earning a 3 pound 10 shillings a week
Plus luncheon vouchers
Well my boy it looks as though youre heading
Straight for the top

Pay your money make your choice now

Now you played your reputation
Theres so much that you can lose
What a struggle to get up there
Youve really paid your dues
Now youre up there with us on the pinnacle of success
Still youre climbing on the ladder of success
Now youre up there with us
Competing with the best
Winning, climbing on the ladder of success
On the ladder of success
Achieving, winning on the ladder of success
