10 Steps BehindDesaparecidos - "10 Steps Behind" from the album 'Payola'
It’s hot as hell
The sun beats down
While we’re waiting for gelato
In a brutal crowd
He makes you walk
Ten steps behind
AnonymousCan’t live today off that minimum wage unless you sleep on the factory floor
If there is anything great left in this sorry state it was built on the backs of the poor
So we buy and we sell for your corporate cartel and we vote when the contestant sings
A mind-control mix for our obedience, strong sleep-aids and hard energy drinks
Cause Freedom is not free
Neither is apathy
“Slay Goliath! Slay Goliath!”
BacksellI was scanning through the stations
Every channel sounded clear
With tempo like a timepiece
You know you are on a grid you just slide the snare
No worries for admission
Cause we got you on the list
But when your boy found out we don’t put out
You know his face turned red and he got so pissed
Greather OmahaDesaparecidos - Greater Omaha
Well, traffic is kind of bad
They’re widening Easy Street to fit more SUVs
They’re planting baby trees to grow to shady peaks
A little shelter from the sun and the upper tax bracket
Here on the cul-de-sac we are not giving back
Until the community repents
Mall of AmericaThey say it's murder on your folk career
To make a rock record with the disappeared
We'll let the police helicopters
Pull stereos out of the lake
There's not an image that I must defend
There are no art forms now, just capitalism
So send the national guard
To the Mall of America
MariKKKopaThere is a lynching at Home Depot of the last day laborer
In this sanctuary city with its anchor-baby births
They say “Its time we had some justice for the white race on this earth
This place is strange and getting stranger”
“We got to round ‘em up!
Door to door tonight we’re ready”
Knock Knock Knock
RadicalizedDesaparecidos - "Radicalized" from the album 'Payola'
[Verse 1]
My whole family tree has got nothing to eat
The machine guns guard the checkpoint
From starving refugees
So when I stop to pray for the fifth time today
Still see my sister Alma
SlacktivistDesaparecidos - "Slacktivist" from the album 'Payola'
Just “like” this and the problem is solved
I want to start to kick back and get involved
Everyone is selfless it’s so much fun
Donate a dollar with my coffee and save someone
Calling all friends I loosely know
We’re a tight knit clique in the virtual
Te Amo Camila VallejoWhen tear gas falls and bullets fly
I'm going to stay right by your side
The police push and you just smile
They could never match your style
All winter we will march
By spring this town is ours
The Happiest Place on EarthDesaparecidos - The Happiest Place on Earth
I want to pledge allegiance to the country where I live
I don’t want to be ashamed to be American
But opportunity, no, it don’t exist
It’s the opiate of the populace
We need some harder shit now
The truth is getting around
The Left is RightIt begins when we chain ourselves to the ATMs
Make a mess when we pitch our tents on the statehouse steps
Now we’re taking it, now we’re taking it back
Now we’re taking it, now we’re taking it back
For the greater good
Goddamn Robin Hoods
Fan the flames, serve them cocktails down at the Stock Exchange
The Underground ManYou were calling out from the underground
You had lots of big ideas but no one can hear them now
They riddled you with guilt
They tempted you with wealth
They twisted all your words
They made you hate yourself
So now you do your schtick, a loyal patriot
What's New for Fallinto corduroys or jeans,
chinos or capris,
sweater vest no sleeves,
oxford underneath
or whatever you think...
(i mean whatever is gonna make you want me)
c'mon and dress me!
