Toxic Reasons
I don't want to wear your jacket
I won't fit into your mold
I'm going to reach my own conclusion
I won’t do what I am told
Chorus:
I don't believe your toxic reasons
I won't swallow your bitter pill
Wrapped in a flag you're screaming treason
The medicine you feed me is making me ill
Your motivation is only profit
Don't make me out to be a fool
You're gonna crush all who try to stop it
Because I won’t be your corporate tool
Chorus
Bridge:
The media says jump, you control how high
Concoct a story from your lies
Fall in line the rich man screams
I won’t be a part of your artificial dream
Chorus
I like to keep my eyes wide open
I don’t accept the things that I hear
I don't believe your misinformation
I see the future, it’s bright and clear
Chorus 2x

Janitor Joe
Tote the pail, swing the mop
Working day I better not stop
Dust the shelves, sweep the floor
Then unlock the front door
He’s Janitor Joe, no area neglected- Janitor Joe, the toilets disinfected
Janitor Joe, has to survive- So in the morning he arrives
Afternoon clean the shop
Metal and grime to three o’clock
Coffee truck, empty the trash
His hand it hurts from his finger he smashed
He’s Janitor Joe, no area neglected- Janitor Joe, the toilets disinfected
Janitor Joe, has to survive- So every morning he arrives
It’s five o’clock it’s quitting time
Until the next morning and the same old grind
Janitor Joe what have you learned?
What happened to the money that you earn?
Well Janitor Joe isn’t that dumb
He’s got a kid and a college fund
A wife, house that he doesn’t shirk
So every morning he’s off to work
He’s Janitor Joe, no area neglected- Janitor Joe, his life is perfected
Janitor Joe says he’s happy- Gets the job done and he makes it snappy

40-40-40
I'll say it now cause I shouldn't speak
They make you work 40 hours a week
So you can retire on 40%
But even with that you can't make the rent
5 buys you 2, yeah that's the deal
They buy your time and your youth they did steal
Now you've done that for forty odd years
Here's the part I want to make perfectly clear
40-40-40 what you do to survive
40-40-40, have you bought the lie
40-40-40, have you figured it yet?
40-40-40, it's a suckers bet
So now you bought the 40 year plan
All the riches go straight to the man
Made you slave to consumerism
To believe differently is communism
They mesmerize all the girls and boys
They suck you in with the latest toys
You'll trade your time for an hourly wage
They'll lock you up on their working cage
Chorus
Protests happen but soon dissipate
More free money, lowered interest rates
Make you think that gains have been made
So dissent soon it will fade
The utopian society for which you scream
Bought off the leaders, cooped the dream
Turned your rebellion into a marketing ploy
Sold it back to you as clothing and toys
Chorus
Come on you people get up on your feet
Come on you people get out in the streets
Come on you people it some time for action
Come on you people get some satisfaction
Come on you people, can’t you think for yourself?
Come on you people redistribute the wealth

Please

Please
I'll try to explain it so let me begin
You've always wondered just where you fit in
You start out first to make it last
Before the future slips into the past
Chorus:
Please, can't you see you're just like me?
Please, you can choose what you want to be
Please- please
So now you've warmed to a world grown colder
With the wisdom you've gained as you've grown older
With all that you've seen, all that you've felt
Make the most of this life with the cards you are dealt
Chorus
I can't really answer just where to begin
All of the answers are found deep within
Don't play the victim, make your own choice
Be who you are and find your own voice
Chorus
Please (4x)
Please can't you see, you can be, anything that you want to be
Please can't you see, you can be, anything that you want to be, anything that you please

President (Peace & Love)

President
Some feller asked me about the government
And did I know where all that money went
And then he asked me to be the president
But then I’d have to tell them where all the money was spent
On bombs galore and the threat of a nuclear war
On tools of hate, designed to wipe out the human race
Well then he asked me about the deficit
And what’s the overall net effect
So then I thought about being the president
So I could control where all the money went
On food galore, let’s put an end to threats of nuclear war
On peace and love, let’s worship prophets that are up above
Let’s worship profits that are up above
Let’s worship prophets that are up above (let’s go!)
It’s so easy to build utopia
Spaced between my own two ears
And not to inflict it on anyone
Or play on other people’s fear
About bombs galore, let’s put an end to threats of nuclear war
Say peace and love; let’s worship prophets that are up above
Let’s worship profits that are up above- Let’s worship prophets that are up above
Say peace and love, say peace and love,
Say peace, peace, peace and love, love, love- I said peace

Do You Want It Now?
03:46

Do you want it now?
Life's not a fashion show
Having said that anything goes
It's doesn't matter how fast you play
It's an attitude and what you say
It's about thinking for yourself
It's not about chasing wealth
Don't be told what you like
Reject cars and ride a bike
Chorus:
Get it, get it, got it - do you think you want it? 4x
Do you want it now? 4x
Accepting others for who they are
There's a concept that will take you far
Do it yourself, mean what you say
Plan for tomorrow but live for today
Tapping into an energy
Develop a personal anarchy
I don't need a rule to do the right thing
These are ideas of which I will sing
Chorus

He’s a mango Mussolini
He’s a mango Mussolini
He’s a mango Mussolini
A mango Mussolini-

We Resist

We resist
You feed ignorance to their fear
Then get off when they cheer
Your arrogance, the lies you say
Have rubbed me the wrong way
Chorus
At your alter of the almighty buck
Can't you see I don't give a fuck
Inflated opinion of yourself
You only care about chasing wealth
I insist, we resist,
The narcissist, he won't be missed 2x
I challenge you, you get irate
You brand me, enemy of the state
"Lock them up" screams the hoard
Pitchfork justice in the name of the lord
Chorus
My free will you'll never steal
I won't be party to your devil's deal
My perspective is not for sale
So lock me up in your jails
Chorus
Stop
I insist, that we resist
The narcissist, he won’t be missed 2x

I don't know what to believe
Everybody's got an angle
Should I bite at the carrot that they’ve dangled?
I don't accept that it's black or white
Who says I've got to join your fight?
I believe there are shades of grey
More than I believe the thing that you say
My opinion you're trying to sway
I'll reserve judgement for another day
Chorus:
I don't mean to sound the alarm
I don't want to do no harm
It's so easy to be deceived
I don't know what to believe
I'm trying to find a greater good
Trying to determine the woulds from the shoulds
I'd take a stand if I understood
I'd understand if I only could
The more I learn the less I know
The news today is like a show
Trying to lead me where they want me to go
Just like the wind I think it blows
Chorus
Are you on the left or are you on the right
Hate the other and you must fight
Stand up for what you believe
I think I'll just wait and see
How'd there get to be so much hate?
Surely love must control our fate
Not some blind ideology
If that's the case don't count on me Chorus -Last line 3x
