Stand Up

standing in the breadline, got no bread;
with a hole in your pocket, you can't get fed
you know you got to do just what you got to do
it isn't up to you, it's never up to you
the people outside just don't understand
you wouldn't need the money if they'd give you a hand
can't find a better way, must be a better way
but there's a price to pay, always a price to pay
it's been coming been coming a long time now
it's time to stand up and knock them down
where do you go when the king is a thief
and the law of the land brings no relief
you know you want to do just what you got to do
it's time for something new, past time for something new
wasting your time as a means to an end
when the rich got money you know they'll never spend
there is a better way, always a better way
it's their turn to pay, you know they have to pay
it's been coming been coming a long time now
it's time to stand up and knock them down
the truth was lost but it will be found
it's time to stand up and knock them down

Not for You

time is coming
we're on the brink
the future's close now
not when you think
i can see it
just over there
why can't you see it?
or don't you care?
it's not for nothing that you've been left behind
keep on obstructing but you're all out of time
always trying to hold on to your past
it's not the first time but it will be your last
this is not for you
we are not for you
they are not for you
i am not for you
hope is not for you
strength is not for you
rage is not for you
love is not for you
science is not for you
religion is not for you
what was is not for you
what's ours is not for you
the future is not for you
the future is not for you
the future is not for you
the future is not for you
in their greed, these false teachers will exploit you with deceptive words.
The longstanding verdict against them remains in force,
and their destruction does not sleep. [2 Peter 2:3]
my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail:
they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper:
their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten. [Jeremiah 20:11]
To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence;
their foot shall slide in due time:
for the day of their calamity is at hand,
and the things that shall come upon them make haste. [Deuteronomy 32:35]

Liar

why can't you ever say
'yours is the better way'
you twist around and wrap it up in lies
but we don't believe it
and you can't conceive it
so this is where we need to say good bye
why don't you ever say
all the things you ought to say
you turn around and then you say good bye
but you can't just leave it
when we don't believe it
i think you owe us more than a lie
why do you need to say
stupid things you shouldn't say
and then just say some more and more and more
you try to qualify
and then try to justify
and now it's time to show you the door

Uncertain

i know you know you've got to keep it together
it isn't good, but it's bound to get better
it isn't fair and it doesn't feel right
and either way, you won't sleep well tonight
it's all uncertain
you don't know what to do
they seemed so certain
now you don't know what to do
there is no way you can express your displeasure
don't waste your time with your father confessor
he has no answer, he cannot relate
his god is good, but he just isn't great
hold on tight to all the things you can remember
i know you know nothing will ever last forever
just close your eyes, let it all slip away
tomorrow comes once you're done with today
it's all uncertain
you don't know what to do
they seemed so certain
now you don't know what to do
this is the hardest thing you've done, and there's just no way to get it right
though you might feel the troubled son, the dark will fall as the sun alights
and just when you feel like someone is coming for the rest of you, can never get the best of you
because you're the only one who knows the love he left inside of you is all he ever left for you now
It's alright to feel alright now
