Intro/Done 01:05
Had enough of the lowlife motherfuckers Who feel they have to know someone before giving respect That narrow minded bullshit is over For any hope of a progressive future In the face of bigotry I’ve learned to say It’s over, we’re done here It’s over, I’ve had enough of your mind
2.
Paralyzed by indecision I wanna help I don’t know how Don’t only wanna be defined by good intentions I wanna help I don’t know how Everywhere I look I get this feeling I wanna help I don’t know how It’s about time, I gotta do something I wanna help I don’t know how Never again is now Years of my life dedicated It’s been so long, I worked so hard Organizing just led to me frustrated It’s been so long, I worked so hard I’ve lost days, attending meetings How will I find the time? I need overtime hours to make rent How will I find the time? No mas muertes I learned how to scream And use my platform for good
3.
You sit atop a pile Strutting around, I see for miles Only one way to build that mountain The greed that keeps on compounding No awareness No need to connect A self assured “I know what’s best” Classic case of Vision obscured Sure you know the cure No change is made While you continue to Take and take and take Don’t leave a crumb
4.
Married to your work that’s all All you’ll get is more to do Ground down to the dullest point Never taking shape again Ask yourself who lives this life? Down a path end of the night Closing down suits in bars Face in the dirt head in the stars Shutting off not quite right Making excuses for Distancing yourself to the world Nevermore “Trust me I’m good for it I swear” “Im making changes every day” “My past, these letters I wear” “Actions of those caught in the sway” You’re missing out Past potential now replaced with doubt You’re dropping out Keeping track has made you lose count

Wear down the sidewalk On the way to the bar Wear down the concrete Inside of your heart I’ll take an IPA Impale a pale ale Right through the bottom Of my fucking brain stem Life decisions I’ll have no part Sit here waiting Reflecting the art I’ll have a lager Til I’m no longer Functioning Wear down the sidewalk On the way to the bar Wear down the concrete Inside of your heart
6.
It’s not any one person’s fault But there’s still hurt being caused I’m not perfect no one is It’s time to relearn what we were taught as kids Blame generations for this pain But today we woke up with a choice Turn a new leaf over Start sharing the parts of yourself You wanna get from someone else It takes time to learn But you have to try Openness will come in time Nobody ever said Or shared the ways to get in your head Past due for some self reflection Make way for some motivation Down with the bullshit And up with the changes Pick up the weight of the hurt you created There is power in admitting you’re wrong Together we will redefine strong
7.
Im thinking What do we do When the rent is due? What kind of credit do I get? For my best intentions Where to cash in these chips? Worker’s interest It’s rigged against Paid taxes in a past tense It’s how the one percent lives No care empathy deficient Say poverty was our decision You gave no incentive The people are wise Coming with open eyes And a fist in the air Your proud moment's gone We took it out on the lawn Ripped it limb from limb right there Limb from limb

100 Out 01:49
Is this what it means to be 100 out? Watch the man pass the buck And just turn around He’ll get away again Slow or fast either way The heat is on All the prayers in the world Still nothing’s done They’ll save themselves again I went down I went through my head Is this what it means to be 100 out? People just trying to live They’re gunned down Children dehydrated You’ll never know I went down I went through my head Is this what it means to be 100 out? He’ll get away again They’ll save themselves again

Haven’t been making mistakes Haven’t made much of… A fridge of magnets holding nothing A false sense of… When your life becomes what you make A pile of goods for goods sake Stay efficient, running smoothly Until it breaks Get down stay down I’m pushing all my weight down You fucked up, back up Fighting away til you drown Haven’t been sleeping through the night Maybe I’m sleeping through my days Taking bets, over unders on waking time Still everyone but me gets paid A false sense of… Yeah I’m gonna slam it down Down into the ground
