Worm 04:24
Worm by Kai Eckhardt c 2011 Some say what up are is nothing but a slimy bottom feeder Some say what you do is help them on a Friday catch a fish or two. Some would step on you, squash your little body on the rainy pavement Few know what you bring is so much more than meets the naked Eye (I) no longer wonder why the first would be the last And the last would be the first. You should not be surprised if the one who saves your life tomorrow Comes from six feet under. Worm, you little coil in the soil get the scrapple from the apple and the meat off the street, little worm, crawling through the night out of sight, underground what you find you will grind, wiggly worm, nibble on that pebble that you found underground leaving minerals behind. The grass is green ‘cause you do your thing, undisputed master of recycling Some say what you are is nothing but a nasty little creepy crawly, Some say what you do is crawl in two directions when sliced in two Some cremate instead so you can not get a hold of their leftovers, If you die instead, gone will be the days of wine and roses here upon this Earth would be a wasteland if the service you portray finally would go away Nobody breaks down the funk with a passion quite like you, now I know your love is true Worm, you little coil in the soil get the scrapple from the apple and the meat off the street, Worm, crawling through the night out of sight, underground what you find you will grind, Worm, nibble on that pebble that you found underground leaving minerals behind. The grass is green ‘cause you do your thing, undisputed master of recycling

From the North to the South by KE From the north to the south to the west to the east to the bottom to the middle to the top, seven connections to seven directions seven connections and we don't stop From the north to the south to the west to the east to the bottom to the middle to the top, seven connections to seven directions seven connections and we don't stop we don't stop before we can receive the gifts life gave us we've got to detect what it is that enslaves us some of us are ruled by the things we own stuck high and dry on a mighty throne many of us live in deep misery, poverty slipping on the downslide, worldwide Yet it is we who bring it together bridging the gap and changing the weather. Chorus In our hearts and minds we bow to the now we honor you, the live the true great mystery come slow us down, bring us back around and connect us to the inner sound great circle of life you're amazing who are we to judge your forms it's you who shines beyond all norms ….. In the spirit of humility we recognize the contributions, the effort and the sacrifice, made by those who prepared who cared who shared who maintained allowing us to be entertained the ones who clean, who remain useen, crucial lives behind the scene right from the start to art from the heart respect to all who've played their part we thank the ground on which we stand living in silence across the land ancient are the rocks and trees creepy crawlies, birds and bees butterflies and apple trees reaching...

Chased 05:04
Chased yodelayheetee i never had a Swiss bank account yet i wouldn't wanna be ya not for any cash amount you got me tied to your rising interest rates until i'm fried fried fried for every time my monthly payment's coming late. caught up in a nasty chase where the banksters set the pace and keep changing up the rules in the middle of the race just because your name is chase doesn't mean you have a case to harass me for this cash while you're sitting on a stash. skimmin' off the top that is the way you roll you’ll never stop as long as you remain in control when i was down, you'd no longer talk to me. for being poor you came around to punish me Plant commercials in my brain Robot voice drives me insane Pressing one or pressing two Every day some bill is due Brain is large and heart is small profit when the markets fall Made of glass and made of steel nothing in your world is real. breakdown day after day becoming more desensitized being out of touch with the lives of those you've compromised. you wonder why the majority's not down with how you live. you own the pie and they're drowning in the shit that you don't give. If you wish to carry on to where all the mercy's gone We will not be by your side when you have no place to hide cause the system you defend is your master in the end. Like the money you don't spend On the 99 per cent. (Angela Davis and Occupy Wall St go !)
