Now you have touched the women.Now you have struck a rock.A boulder youve dislodged.You will be crushed.Soon--you will realize that you dance upon the tip of a blade;and the comedy youve made of violence and of rape the war youve declared on our mothers and sisters our partners and friends--its come right back right back to you doorstep.Its come right back right back in your face.As you crawl to your hole licking your wounds your uncompassionate mind will know their pain.You’ll know their pain.Know their pain.If only it were easier to brush away the malignance that you sell that you sell.Your argument is already written but those bound and gagged now move and speak.We move and speak.Now you have touched the women.Now you have struck a rock.A boulder youve dislodged.You will be crushed.Youll be crushed.

In the second you gave up.In the second you walked away.In the second I wasn’t worth your time.In the second you walked away.In the second you gave up the moment you lost interest--bonds that have taken years to buildInterest lost but for a moment--a moment Ill remember forever.Knowing what you’ll say…Knowing what comes next.Knowing what youll say before the words escape your lips.Im lost Im lost.Look what youve done the giant has fallen--broken to pieces watch as I crumbleCrying hopeless crying…Look what youve done to me.Watch as I fall apart.Look what youve done.Feel my world fall apart.Crying and hopless broken and bleeding

Starshot halo-boundSo laying me outYou got flaxen wings of hayseedAnd something under your armAnd may I please touchYour fancy tattered cloakWere its holes divinely fabricatedOr were they eaten out by a moth?...Eaten out by a moth? (Repeat)Whats that beautiful instrument that you bear?You did not design that by chanceYou were touching a dulcimers fancyA Dulcimers Fancy (Touching a dulcimers fancy)

The monkeys are loose but they cant be.Animals wouldnt organize to attack and to abuse.We created this forum to express to relieve and to celebrate--for fun.But theyre wearing us down.One by one theyll wear us down.One by one theyll make us quit.One by one theyll make us leave.Theyll make us believe this is how it goes.Well run.Weve tried to ignore themAnd weve tried to talkBut the time will come when well have to take actionIn silence we will strike

When did this become about fashion?Remember to dress for success--music a thing to be bought and be sold a badge you can wear on your chest.When did this become about dating?Who do you try to impress?Whos cool whos hot whos hip whos not--tell me who loves you the best.When did this become about handouts?When did you need something free?You act and you talk like youve got something to give.You think you have something we need.But you do nothing.When did we need invitations an audience or a request.Sitting waiting always to settle for less.You want this handed on a silver plate but would that be worth anything?Are we worth anything?Are you worth anythingListen get up go out do something for yourself.

Nine years into the future--were still counting the dead and the dying.Were still totaling countless hidden millions;the result of state terror.Still believing the lies of peace and prosperityof a peace with thousands executed by disease of a prosperity of millions on the street.And I have to wonder what the fuck is it going to take? Can it be undone?Can we stem the tide of violence?Or are we going to sit back and relax and watch tv while havenots get their fucking heads kicked in over and over and over again.Are we going to keep counting the policies that failed?The lies--they worked it worked it worked it worked.We swallowed them down deep.We swallowed them whole.Nine years later...

I hear youve got a child somewhereA castaway a little apeAdrift on the wavesAnd if I was a servant girlWould you treat me the same?Blow the dust from my grave?Keep the IV in me?Chase the critters away?You mother was a crippled heartLost her crutch in the darkCrawled a mile too farWashed up by the beachNow she tends to the seaStarfish anemoneOther misplaced things (Repeat) She bends by degrees so gracefullyPicking up twigs wild seedsIts all the same to me (Repeat)

They took us by the edge of the desertAnd they laid them down in the sandCarrie picked at her nails in the sunshineSally just stayed in the vanOn the old high orchard she had asked himTo promise her that hed never leaveHe wouldve died at the outskirts of towersThe night he started having the dreamsShe chased him all the way to the borderBut he was only picking up speedHe doubled back and finally lost herBy rolling into a ravineBut he could still hear her crying behind himFrom the rocky bank where he hidHe doubled his shoulders right up to his chin And stared up at the firmamentThey found him with his eyes wide openAt a place called the Joshua treeIll never go away for good he saidHe promised her that hed never leaveHe promised her that hed never leave

Three days forever… Etched upon my mind forever three days maybe more.We left you—abandoned.The talking didnt work now lets try this.The pills didnt work now lets try this.Too late.Too late.Youre gone. Were deadCome back.It’s too late.
