1. Say my name loud and clear Do you want me to whisper in your ear? Let me tell you a story Of what’s been going on out here Showing up to your shitty part-time job At the big box supermarket working like a dog Boss makes a dollar you used to make a dime Now you better clock out so you can unionise! [Chorus] Have you really given up on hope? (Say my name loud and clear!) Working people this is not a joke (We’re fuckin’ getting outta here!) Putting in the hours won’t keep us alive They’ll work us til we die 2. Can you breathe in this heat? Temperature is rising , but keep marching to the beat Don’t even think about crossing that picket line No more scraping by! [Chorus] Have you really given up on hope? (Say my name loud and clear!) Working people this is not a joke (We’re fuckin’ getting outta here!) Putting in the hours won’t keep us alive They’ll work us til we die [dubstyle break] Anything they can do we can do better They got the bills, but we got the numbers! *scream* [Chorus] Have you really given up on hope? (Say my name loud and clear!) Working people this is not a joke (We’re fuckin’ getting outta here!) Putting in the hours won’t keep us alive No more scraping by!

1. A thousand days Same old replays Not knowing what’s in store My hair grows long My patience short Can’t take this anymore Filling up with anger Spilling over, makes me sick All because of money Now, I’m here to eat the rich Chorus Just a little off the top A little off the top A little off the top will do A little off the top A little off the top Turning tables with our truth 2. Problems don’t just go away with profits on the rise Moves around your game board cost millions of poor lives Monopoly, it’s all the same, you’ve got to win your prize Printing funny money, all like you’ve hypnotized Chorus Just a little off the top A little off the top A little off the top will do A little off the top A little off the top Turning tables with our truth 3. It’s upside down, we’ll coming round, We’re here to live our truth No more delays, we’ll staking claim, You bunch of hypocrites Towers up to heaven always tumble to the ground

I broke up with my boyfriend because he thought makes made a scene I broke up with my boyfriend because he refused to see The reality of the work we’re doing happens every day Yet he’s the one who taught me about solidarity I had to listen to him tell me “don’t deal in absolutes” But baby I would rather stand tall knowing it’s the truth I’m not ashamed of where I am or of the work that I have done Because to me that’s what it means” Solidarity Chorus Do you think that you can pick and choose Where your unity lies? We’re all in this together and that ain't' no surprise If you can stand with one but not the other You better check your side He’d go out to the protest calling out A-C-A-B But when it came to protest death by disease it was only me It’s not because I’m afraid of taking a “little risk” It’s because this is all just another piece in loving humanity Chorus Do you think that you can pick and choose Where your unity lies? We’re all in this together and that ain't' no surprise If you can stand with one but not the other You better check your side You may find there’s a little bit of grey matter when you come around for the loss, for the cause, for the progress of humanity But then when we realise that Everything is beautifully intertwined I think we can move mountains We can move mountains with our size Yeah

1. I remember what you said and what you said we’d mean I remember you like yesterday vivid as a dream But, all dreams end with wakes ups, and so did you and me Your feelings fake as plastic plants, not really as they seemed Chorus Plastic plants Go on forever But forever they’re still fake You left me in your wake Plastic plants, Like dying embers fade Just like all those words that said You’d never go away 2. You said you’d always love me You’d treat me oh so well But all the heaven promised Is just broken promise hell You claimed you’d die without me But you’re breathing all this air Fake like plastic plants, you were never really there Chorus Plastic plants Go on forever But forever they’re still fake You left me in your wake Plastic plants, Like dying embers fade Just like all those words that said You’d never go away 3. I don’t know that I’ll recover, or I’ll ever be the same If I only could forget you, and all the games you played You showed up on my doorstep, And, I let you in my heart Faking your desires, things could only fall apart Chorus Plastic plants Go on forever But forever they’re still fake You left me in your wake Plastic plants, Like dying embers fade Just like all those words that said You’d never go away Plastic plants, Plastic Plants, Plastic plants Forever they’re still fake Plastic plants Plastic plants Plastic plants Just throw them all away

1. You find true love It goes away Can’t have clean air No, not today You work for peace They give you war Just fight and fight And fight some more Chorus Everything turns to shit! (4x) 2. Your money’s down The price goes up Trade cash for lives Your time is done Save for food Or take a loan But, the meat is gone You’re left with bones Chorus Everything turns to shit! (4x) 3. It’s a rigged game They always win They’ll buy religions To call out your sins. Don’t be surprised This is our existence. Amen, amen! Can I get a witness? Chorus Everything turns to shit! (4X) Whatever goes in comes out again (4x) Everything turns to shit

1. When I think of evil people One pops in my head Who lived and lived Of course he did but He’s finally fucking dead Chorus Henry Kissinger’s dead Henry Kissinger’s dead Let’s all shout out for joy today Because he’s finally fuckin’ dead 2. Neocons just loved him Because he dropped their bombs He dropped them, dropped them without qualms But, now he’s bought the farm I don’t believe in hell but If there is one now he’s there Turn up your heat with joy today And, dance without a care! Chorus Henry Kissinger’s dead Henry Kissinger’s dead Dance and jump for joy today Because he’s finally fuckin’ dead 3. I hate that motherfucker and I know I’m not alone But now death, the equalizer, has claimed him as their own. So today I’m fucking happy And, my friend you should be too. If you’re inclined to take a drink, now’s your time to booze! Chorus Henry Kissinger’s dead Henry Kissinger’s dead Raise your glass of cheer today He’s finally fucking dead Henry Kissinger’s dead Henry Kissinger’s dead Lift your glasses way up high Because he’s finally fucking dead

I seem ok on the outside But everything stirs underneath I try and try, I feel like I’m hiding I want the world to know me And I want you to know me too My feelings are all locked away Days go on as I sit here Betrayed by each word that I say Chorus To be seen To be seen I only want you to see To have myself known Not feel so alone I only want to be seen I go through the motions of lifetimes They belie all that lies inside me The world moves along as I’m yearning I live in a lans of make believe You ask and I tell you I’m happy But really, I’m wanting to scream Like a puzzle that rests uncompleted Forgotten along with my dreams Chorus To be seen To be seen I only want you to see To have myself known Not feel so alone I only want to be seen To be seen

1. Living in this do or die Corporate(s) on their corporate buy Death merchants leave their wake Profits must survive Furious to win their game Extinction with remote Logos on brand name drones They’ll say it’s just a cold Chorus Virus in the air Virus in the air Virus in the air Virus everywhere 2. Spewing venom like a snake Service with a smile No masking for children’s sake Laugh until you die This must be a big mistake How much shit can I take Bending, bending, til I break Emotions running high Chorus Virus in the air Virus in the air Virus in the air Virus everywhere Bridge Savior will you come and set your captives free Savior will you come and bring us sweet relief Setting right a world of wrongs Ashes, ashes, all fall down Outcasts come to claim our throne Lifting up of the unknown Chorus Virus in the air Virus in the air Virus in the air Virus everywhere

Do you think that cold hard facts would save us from this cold hard hell? There’s way too many lies, we’re all dehumanised - at least as far as I can tell It’s a class war - it’s a war on the class - And the easiest thing we can do is wear a mask Do you even think about that when you’re ignoring the facts? Billionaires get Davos, the rest of us exposed! Chorus Fuck it! Let’s all wear masks! X4 The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer Coughing up their lungs because it’s the “new normal”! They breathe in wildfires, they breathe COVID-19 And officials in the white house are fuckin’ living peachy-keen Chorus Fuck it! Let’s all wear masks! X4 Let’s get these motherfuckers and flip their fucking tables Spinning all their lies and creating all their fables We’re gonna take over, taking power off the top And, in case this isn’t clear, we’ll never fucking stop! Chorus Fuck it! Let’s all wear masks! X4

1. What do you when you been knocked down Flipped over, turned inside out Can’t seem to set yourself free How do you get away, find what you need? Chorus Hit the road and never look back Speeding away as fast as you can Life’s for living, that’s a fact Hit the road and never look back 2. My job pays pennies It’s a full on drag Boss takes credit for my work, gets a raise Same old story, day after day So damn tired, gotta get away Chorus Hit the road and never look back Speeding away as fast as you can Life’s for living, that’s a fact Hit the road and never look back Bridge Transformation, changing It’s the only way If you want a better life start moving today Games are for players, fakers circling the track Break free from the rest of the pack Chorus Hit the road and never look back Speeding away as fast as you can Life’s for living, that’s a fact Hit the road and never look back – 2X

This is a nightmare I can’t wake up from I’m too destroyed, I’m paranoid There’s nothing left to fill the void The Earth is burning up Everyday feels closer to living on the sun We’re all dying just to live - Trade our spirits for the profit margin Chorus Whoah! Where had arrogancy got us but a one-way Ticket to the bottom? Whoah! Our distractions are the new drug Where we can see the future and not give a fuck But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have hope Government’s changin’ Things have stayed the same but Now they feel so different Is it because I see them now? Looked past the boots and saw the ground Chorus Whoah! Where had arrogancy got us but a one-way Ticket to the bottom? Whoah! Our distractions are the new drug Where we can see the future and not give a fuck But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have hope I have decided To demand the change that power’s overridden
