you've been so missed, brother, you've missed so much

you've been so missed, brother, you've missed so much
a lot has happened here since you've been gone
and life goes on without your special touch

you've missed new shows, new episodes and such
and sharing laughter till the crack of dawn
you've been so missed, brother, you've missed so much

so many questions raised, and in my rush
I turn to ask you, realize you are gone
and life goes on without your special touch

oh, what I wouldn't give to fill your hush
with that sweet voice your laughter rides upon
you've been so missed, brother, you've missed so much

my heart's like jello, I've been turned to mush
my bones have bled out of my flesh, they're gone
and life goes on without your special touch

just flick me once again, or I'll stay crushed
upon the floor forever till I'm done
you've been so missed, brother, you've missed so much
and life goes on without your special touch

his likes, dislikes, his ways, by far unique

his likes, dislikes, his ways, by far unique,
a snowflake melted back into the sea,
so long, far gone, this special one I seek,

a voice, no other has, no more could speak,
though strained, I hear but none, and none I see,
his likes, dislikes, his ways, by far unique,

I whisper it, and call his name, and shriek,
so long my echoes reach, so far from me,
so long, far gone, this special one I seek,

into the souls of all I meet, I peek,
yet find not even similarity,
his likes, dislikes, his ways, by far unique

his flesh, my flesh, now gone, my bones do creak
his name, his fame, no more though it should be,
so long far gone, this special one I seek,

his void sucks life from me as from his cheek,
as does his irreplaceability,
his likes, dislikes, his ways, by far unique,
so long far gone, this special one I seek.

they almost picked up stones, i've been accused of PC sin

they almost picked up stones, i've been accused of PC sin,
i'm racist and i'm sexist, so they say, that is my crime,
for voting for an old white man and hoping he would win

i would not vote for Hillary, no woman's ever been
a President, i'm sexist, don't I think that it's her time?
they almost picked up stones, ive been accused of PC sin,

i would not vote for Obama, no black man's ever been
a President, i'm racist, don't I think that it's his time?
I voted for an old white man and hoped that he would win

if voting for a color or for genital's a sin,
then isn't choosing blackness or vagina then a crime?
they almost picked up stones, ive been accused of PC sin,

yet old McCain won't get my vote, and still I'm not within
the PC bullies' good graces, for I shunned theirs for mine
by voting for an old white man and hoping he would win

the Doctor's got my vote, I know where his good record's been
for liberty, small government of Founding Father's time
they almost picked up stones, i've been accused of PC sin,
for voting for an old white man and hoping he would win

Oh, dear elected representatives

Oh, dear elected representatives,
whom we elect to represent our needs,
your own agenda's most imperative,

though to our nation, most pejorative.
If words were noumisma, yours would be beads,
oh, dear elected representatives!

The Founder's writings were indicative
of paradigms for those who wish to lead.
Your own agenda's most imperative.

Your own beliefs are not comparative
with those of Jefferson, whom you won't heed,
oh, dear elected representatives.

Our Constitution's most declarative,
yet you ignore it, and the People bleed!
Your own agenda's most imperative.

Our need, why will you not take care of it?
You swore upon your oaths that you agreed!
Oh, dear elected representatives,
your own agenda's most imperative!

if i was told i had to choose between

if i was told i had to choose between
mccain, obama, none would get my vote
two evils, they would find my vote unseen

it's un-American and most obscene
when constantly harangued to "rock the vote"
and told i had to choose only between

a fascist or a socialist, i mean
c'mon, am i as stupid as a goat?
two evils, they would find my vote unseen

i'd rather eat then vomit up my spleen
and swim with alligators in a moat
if i was told i had to choose between

two know-nothings with brains drunk on caffeine
all energy, no substance worth to note
two evils, they would find my vote unseen

when the Establishment sets up the scene
and narrows choices, it strangles my throat
if i was told i had to choose between
two evils, they would find my vote unseen

what is the left, what is the right?

what is the left, what is the right
two cheeks, the same old farting ass
are these actors who claim they fight

are not their puppet strings in sight
is what they spew familiar gas?
what is the left, what is the right

a head, a tail, so close and tight
two sides, one coin, one made from brass
are these actors who claim they fight

they know the magic words, alright
here "change", there "change", and "middle class"
what is the left, what is the right

how could they both pretend this fight
their words resound the same through glass
are these actors who claim they fight

more of the same, no change in sight
for no one dares to wipe this ass
what is the left, what is the right
are these actors who claim they fight

a special person was snuffed out

so long so loud i scream i shout
how could this be, how could this be?
a special person was snuffed out

there is no end to this here bout
i'm draining, dying, i can't flee
so long so loud i scream i shout

only one thing this is about
it's irreplaceability
a special person was snuffed out

our lives are torn up in a rout
he was what no one else will be
so long so loud i scream i shout

my blood has dried into a drought
i saw him but now cannot see
a special person was snuffed out

he left no part of him to sprout
how could this be, how could this be?
so long so loud i scream i shout
a special person was snuffed out
