CHORUS Sing, like your heart don't bleed it keeps on beating March, with your head held high you might change everything Don't you know I've been spit on in the street Spent my life knowin' I was second best And the anger slowly boils in my veins But I hear it comin', you can feel the change When will it explode Everything in it's time I suppose The same old same old stories always told Money talks & makes the world go around CHORUS A soldier takes an order in a faraway land Tears don't stop the triggers pullin' over again All those old men and children Buried all together in some godforsaken hole When will it explode Everybody's got their time to go Same old same old stories always told That war will make it so that peace can take hold I don't know CHORUS Can violence fight violence effectively Cuz who am I to just throw up my hands and die I won't let nobody terrorize my life Some people say you gotta take by force what you need to survive When does that explode Can non-violence take us where we need to go Martin Luther King thought so But revolution doesn't always take that road CHORUS Sing, like your heart don't bleed it keeps on beating March, with your head held high you might change everything Run til your lungs just burn the pain is worth it Your voice, it lets freedom ring Your voice, it lets freedom ring

ZOMBIE REAGAN by Mike Votava Saving 24 million dollars on a glass of milk Watch the President at the conference denying milk was spilt Spend the people’s hard earned money on Trident Submarines For protection from Russian birth marks and warheads firing The zombie apocalypse is right around the bend Corporate America will be standing in the end Giant hair and 80’s butt rock bands will rock again With Ronald Reagan returning from the dead Zombie Reagan Wants to eat my brains Zombie Reagan Looks a lot like regular Reagan Nancy says that my military’s the biggest she’s ever seen And I know that Yakov Smirnoff would probably agree Shooting lasers from outer space now I could go for that But how was I to know that the Star Wars program Would be a stupid piece of crap

"Neither have I the least idea of 'joining' you, or in any way assisting the unjust war waging against Mexico. I have no wish to participate in such 'glorious' butcheries of women and children as were displayed in the capture of Monterey, etc. Neither have I any desire to place myself under the dictation of a petty military tyrant, to every caprice of whose will I must yield implicit obedience. No sir-ee! As long as I can work, beg, or go to the poor house, I won't go to Mexico, to be lodged on the damp ground, half starved, half roasted, bitten by mosquitoes and centipedes, stung by scorpions and tarantulas-marched, drilled, and flogged, and then stuck up to be shot at, for eight dollars a month and putrid rations. Well, I won't.. . . "
