The Mall and The Muster Zone
No more computer
No more Diplomat pen
No more trips to Freehold
Until I'm back on that medicine
Forget that! I'm coming back again
You know where
You just don't know when
Who is more confused than me?
All over the place, just look and see
Better believe it, Mr. Kaczynski
I'll kill three thousand men to save one Tree
Then I'll hide in the hills like a wild monkey
yin and yang
dark and light
tears and rage
fight or flight?
Now I move from day to night
And as the holy jihad hair grows on my face
I no longer fear the foot soldiers' mace
Kilroy was here, and so were my kin
The Nephews of Uncle Ted will ride again
Sending Empire into the realm of Never Been
Many changes are comin' our way
What about my feelings?
They're too dark to say
Allison, twenty years ago, so Gray
And now this senorita here today
La Reina De Las Gortas? No way, no way!
She insulted me deeply yesterday
Now she looks at my back as I run away
I won't be back to see her
At least not today
Now they got me in a zoo like a chimpanzee
And your glass walls are closing in around me
But I'm breaking through and busting free
La gorta made my eyes to see
How ugly inside pretty can be
Ugly inside, or just ugly to me
But I'm in love with her
And I always will be
I guess I must be some kind of pagan tramp
If I only had a sack of potatoes and a place to camp,
I would use our only moon as my lamp
And my own voice would become my organic amp
So now as my Queen sticks Her nose in the air,
I get a grip on the reality that life just ain't fair
Choking on the lies and blinded by the glare
Defiant homeless gringo cracker,
The dirty white dog!
His cigarettes are hand rolled
This Doctor Faustus of Freehold
Got a common cold from smokin' white gold
I'm the first to admit this shit is gettin' old
So if you see me in a rage, please don't take a chance
Like a German barbarian descending on France,
Coming to Nueve Freehold to steal your daughter
Old Gorticide must be back to drinking that Fire Water!
Shame, shame, shame on you Old Freehold
You sold out on this Native Son so very long ago
When you let them build the Raceway Mall
Since then I've watched the woods fall, fall, fall
Into the hands of rich city folks who have much gall
But now things are getting out of control
Your new children, the Old Aztecs, are now in my soul
And don't think that because I'm not there
Or because you don't see me stop and stare
That I no longer really care
That's right, you know me, I don't lie
My love is strong, it just will not die
Never mind my skin, I am family
Hate me if you must, you folks are stuck with me!
An Elder Son of Freehold wants it to be known
Like a hawk, I've been watching this Muster Zone
I know they want me to want them to go,
And you think because I'm down and out, they are my foes,
But it's the rich not the poor, I call mis enemigos
yin and yang
dark and light
tears and rage
flight or fight?
Now I move from day to night
And as the holy jihad hair grows on my face
I no longer fear the foot soldiers' mace
Kilroy was here, and so were my kin
The Nephews of Uncle Ted will ride again
Sending Empire into the realm of Never Been
No more Diplomat pen
No more trips to Freehold
Until I'm back on that medicine
