From "Destroy Everything", not new, but still relevant, I particularly like the lines:
Sidewalk chalk writers leave notes for our leaders
who cover our eyes with candy and bubblegum.
who cover our eyes with candy and bubblegum.
How true, so of course that means you have to work hard at seeing the truth.
Sidewalk chalk writers leave notes for our leaders
who cover our eyes with candy and bubblegum
who cover our eyes with candy and bubblegum
choose not to listen at all
So we choose a different voice
we chew on our choices
and swallow the knowledge and the experience
that we make for ourselves
And we savor
the flavor of knowing
of trying and doing
of coming and going
From this here cold harbor
where we ship in the labor
to export our culture
in favor of giving ourselves
Welcome to the state
here is your flag
and your minimum wage
just be grateful for what you’re given
Our teachers are telling us
your prayers will be answered
as soon as the cancer has
eaten away at your soul
So we’re waiting
and our savior is hiding
but there have been sightings
on billboards and in federal laws
And business is fruitful
its engineered for the mouthful
the chemicals might be harmful
but you will not notice the taste
If you need more
there’s plenty left over
enough to feed everyone
and plenty to be thrown away
