Amor Fati

1.
HERE.NOW.US I know I'm just a social construct/ My vote or consumer dollar doesn't matter/I've got to have some integrity/I've got to stand for something At least we have each other We can find our own identity/ We could make our own self worth/ Out of something real and permanent/ What's more important than this ...?
2.
THE WAY FORWARD The Monsters come out of the shadows/ Dismissing all values , Attacking our rights The Monsters have taken the Castle/ Together in anger, United to fight Those on the front lines/Yesterday were just your neighbors Let go of your cynicism/ it's just a beginning When people unite! Show up everyday and keep hammering/Forces will crack, the Castle will fall He got the power, We got the numbers ..

ROSS COUNTY Alone away from the great cities/ Back in the heartland/ Back to the life you've always known Alone with your traumatic stress/ "Thank you for your service" We live lives of Silent desperation Feel the walls closing in, the sand through the glass Little pills for the back pain/ but the VA is running out/ the boy with the heroin is so much cheaper you've known him your whole life We live lives of unquiet desperation Feel the walls closing in, the sand through the glass -Enough to numb the pain and then back to work Living lives of unquiet desperation / The Gun or the Needle We've been here our whole lives
4.
OUR BRAND IS CRISIS Like anyone selling a product, They have to create a demand/ The stakes can get very high, when militarization is the goal Media sells a constant state of danger, to feed your anxiety/ In the name of Security, we give up our sovereignty ... Fear your neighbors, and the Others not like you/ The world is safer than you think it to be/ For the ones you elect are selling security

IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE Election handed to him by the KGB/ Take away medicaid and overtime pay/ Criminalize protest as anger grows/ Take away a woman's right to choose White way of life threatened when told that Black Lives Mattered/ Far right media sells xenophobic lies/Community sympathies lie scattered/ Here in post Truth America Attacking Science and the EPA/ Exxon Mobile in charge of foreign policy/ Blackwater connection to privatize schools/ Online Threats and the rise of Hate Groups ... Tell Yourself It Can't Happen Here ...
7.
THIN GREEN LINE They line up in front of the bulldozers/Protecting the treasures of our world / They lost their lives/ To paramilitaries and assassins Thin Green Line Illegal strip-mining and deforestation/ Ignored by governments and treaties/ Every year they stand up to evil/ They give their live for our world Thin Green Line
8.
AT WHAT PRICE? Our conspicuous consumption/ Created their terror Our demand for convenience / Created their slavery We live at a higher standard/Than ever imagined/ And it's destroyed the entire world At What Price? At What Price our leisure? Can't we live with less? And have a world left for our children/ The cost of convenience / That we refuse to see/ Consuming the world ... At What Price?
