Do you remember 2008 When you lost everything All the stocks went wild When you started to cry Chorus: When the housing market crashed Was I the only one that laughed? Your life savings down the drain Goodbye, investment banks Cramer says it’s time For you to, “BUY, BUY, BUY” Everyone’s in a panic I didn’t fucking panic (oh no) Do you remember 2008 When you lost everything Millions of dollars down the drain When the housing market tanked Chorus Do you remember 2008 When you lost everything All the stocks went down the drain When the housing market tanked Chorus

No news is good news (And I can't take it no more) Every day, ten thousand more issues And we're off waging new wars (Chorus) I want to see our ship on the horizon The Black Flag raised at half mast As we all bid farewell together To the bloody mess we left in the past If we're forced to stay and fight But can't ask any questions And there's no hope to survive Put flowers in their guns! Chorus "I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. No good to nobody. Because you are to old, too young, too fat, too slim, too ugly, or too this or too that. I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air, and my last drop of blood. I decided a long time ago that I'd starve to death before I'd sing any such songs as that. The radiowaves on your jukeboxes are already loaded down with such no good songs as that anyhow." -Woody Guthrie Chorus We're free and we'll never look back.

Deep in the heart of our nation We see endless oppression Everywhere we look Failures of our justice system Dead homeless black man left to the gutter IT’S NOT RIGHT Rise above the system and those lying hypocrites IT’S NOT FAIR Up the revolution of the neo-pragmatics Chorus: So light my cigarette And drive me across state lines Nervous drumming on the dashboard In a better place and time well americas a sad place to live if you care about human beings we'll violate the constitution if your a threat to our security im afriad of my computer im afraid of my telephone thats why i have no friends and always find myself alone im surronded by ppl all hopped up on medication taking drugs they think are helping them that just keep them sedated and im filled with apathy for all the reasons the world hates us from endless wars, constant spying and human rights violations Chorus

Well the cops are going out for a ride Got their nightsticks by their side Get ready for the arm of the law Breaking wrists and slappin’ cuffs They got their community college degrees High blood pressure and diabetes They don’t use diplomatic means When they come to get the crime off the street Well the cops are going out for a ride Filling all the jail cells every night get ready for three hots and a cot If you’re caught walking on the wrong block Well police are out on the beat Gonna rough up some minorities Flying past the school zone signs When they’re going to the city out at night Well the cops are going out for a ride Got their nightsticks by their side Get ready for the arm of the law Breaking wrists and slappin’ cuffs
