A village pulled like weeds
A country lets their people bleed
Oh Lord, oh Lord
And in return, citizens turn cold
Preachers turn into G.I. Joes
I’ll fight, I’ll fight
And I’m watching on the screen yeah
My Americana dream yeah
Oh Lord, Oh Lord
But I’m oceans deaf to their pain,
Killing greed and the desert heat
Where a refugee clings to believing
That when we hear we’ll come to free them
Every desperate cause you’ve known to slide
And it seems the truth was something left behind
Been counting pennies for so long they glow
I know, I know, I know…black gold
But money makes the rich go round
And keeps the poor out of our towns
Oh Lord, Oh Lord
And if I never find a way
Of breaking through this divided state
I’ll fight, I’ll fight
Could I give up my own comfort
For the fortune of another?
Oh Lord, Oh Lord
But no one can kill this ghost yet
Consumer minds are bound to forget
About the troubles of a torn land
When its cost outweighs benefit
Every desperate cause you’ve known to slide
And it seems the truth was something left behind
Been counting pennies for so long they glow
I know, I know, I know…black gold
Take charge
Got something to tell you boy
Right here
Right here, right now
You know now ignorance is impossible
Maybe this is guilt talkin’
Write off Johnny
Every desperate cause you’ve known to slide
And it seems the truth was something left behind
Been counting pennies for so long they glow
I know, I know, I know…black gold
Waiting on a cure that’s more divine
Cause’ a worldly resolution’s hard to find
When you're counting pennies for so long they glow
I know, I know, I know…black gold
Every desperate cause you’ve known to slide
And it seems the truth was something left behind
Been counting millions for so long they glow
I know, I know, I know…black gold

Hold on tight
Got no peace till these words air worldwide
Don't think you know
Cause' Sunny's war wont' be in glam photos
Trouble at the bottom, when hope goes
Where resistance grows
Soldier rising, can't hold tight
Assimilate won't work out right
Cause it's hotter, stronger, boiling to the top
And it feels like it's gone too far now to stop
Sunny gun shy
We'll shoot the sky
What stirs inside
Won't stay inside
Sunny gun shy
Learn your place
Student criticized for questioning
U.S. History
Cause' Sunny's picked up where white bias reads
Never raise your hand up, teacher knows
Keep your thoughts below
Now it's too much, can't retract
Truth's got a way of striking back
Cause it's hotter, stronger, boiling to the top
And it feels like it's gone too far now to stop
Sunny gun shy
We'll shoot the sky
What stirs inside
Won't stay inside
Sunny gun shy
Too far from grace
Too close to fear
I changed my course
To see it clear
Sunny gun shy
We'll shoot the sky
What stirs inside
Won't stay inside
Sunny gun shy
Creative crime
What stirs inside
Won't stay inside
Sunny gun shy
- Track Name: Slow Burn

Let me tell you bout a girl I know
She left me dead about an hour ago
I know you think no value in my word
but believe me when I tell you, this stone heart's been purged
Cause' she's not like other girls, the status barbie quo
Not too shy, but she won't dress porno
She keeps it hidden in between the sheets
Where the ember turns to fire and it's all for me
She's a slow, slow burn
She's a slow burn
Sets my soul on fire
She's a slow, slow burn
She's a slow burn
Got my brain rewired
See the gossip mags in grocery lines
Celebrity: false idols of our time
Hey, I'm not looking for the trophy wife
I'm just looking for a good girl to walk by my side
And she likes it how I like it in the dimmer light
Eye of the crowd but she don't have to try
She rebel rebels current status quo
Where it's self destruct to teach em something they don't know
Cause' she's a slow, slow burn
She's a slow burn
Sets my soul on fire
She's a slow, slow burn
She's a slow burn
Got my brain rewired
Throw me up against the wall
Can't resist your mating call
Slow it down chica in the sun
You're still running but the race is won
Slow, slow burn
She's a slow burn
Sets my soul on fire
She's a slow, slow burn
She's a slow burn
Got my brain rewired
- Track Name: Boat Wakes, Devils, And Friends
-
Summer's over
Family trees of strangers grow
Who's my brother?
Never had the guts to know, I know
I'm awkward here
My hand to hand combat's off
Crowd wrestling fear
That I'll be exposed a fraud
I'm lost in the search for applause
Boat wakes, devils, and friends will say I've changed
Yeah, I've changed
Raised in class rooms
Uniform learning the rules
While the halls croon
No such thing as smart and cool, I'm cool
Escalator
Move me up without moving
But now I'm on stairs
Unprepared for post-schooling
I win a job atoning sin
Boat wakes, devils, and friends will say I've changed
Yeah, I've changed
Stuck behind bars
Jail cell city come winter
Dreaming of stars
On a small island with her, with her
But I can't leave here
I already drank the punch
Faith in new years
No solutions in the sun
I run tied to these things I've done
Boat wakes, devils, and friends will say I've changed
Yeah, I've changed
