Bad King George and Other Songs for Our Time

Bad King George  (lyrics)  (MP3)

King George was a bad king
Come from a long line of rascals and thieves
King George was a bad king
He thought he could do just as he pleased


Can't Take Any More  (lyrics)  (MP3)

Job is secure, your health is too
Unless the bottom line says no
You got nowhere to run
When the chilly wind blows


Rollin' Blackout Blues  (lyrics)  (MP3)

Went down to the gas station
    The price was out of sight
Went down to the gas station
    Pump price was way outta sight
They're drillin' for oil in my backyard
    Tell me everything's gonna be all right


Coup d'Etat  (lyrics)  (MP3)

You're the chief now and your enemy died hard
    The judge wipes a dagger on his cloak
Your hands are clean but smoke still lingers in the air
    And liars laugh before you tell your joke


Times Right Now  (lyrics)   (MP3)

They ransacked my house / They hit me with their fist
Oh, they stripsearched my house / Punched me with their fist
Tell me they don't need a warrant / I'm an urban terrorist
    They got a list with my name on it


Operation Cakewalk  (lyrics)  (MP3)
— song appears on Fortune and Death CD

Don't fight a land war in Asia
Don't fight in the desert in June
Don't tell lies
Ya gotta revise
And don't count your chickens too soon


Panic Attack  (lyrics)  (MP3)

Dreaming in my seat on a transatlantic flight
There are men in the aisles with guns in their hands
They tell me to be calm and just go back to sleep
Things are going on here that I don't understand


Red Alert  (lyrics) (MP3)

Well, beware the Axis of Evil
They're a threat to world peace
They got Weapons of Mass Destruction
But all we want is Iraqi Freedom


And for something completely different:
 

Night Dream Blues (lyrics)  (MP3)

Well, it's East and West, left and right
Heaven and Hell, darkness and light
Where do they come from? And where do they go?
Dancin' like firelight, meltin' like snow


What the Blind Man Saw (lyrics)  (MP3)

One bright day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf policeman heard the noise
He came and killed those two dead boys
    One bright day in the middle of the night
