Streetcar

We are apartment bound
as the rain holds us hostage
It seems time slows down
there's no where we have to be
Part of where are
we can dedicate this time to
Listen to the streetcar singing
Her harmonic wheels ringing
The city never really gets dark at night
You can see us from space we're just this tiny light
The camp fires of our ancient selves
retired artifacts relaxing on our shelves
We're part of something tireless and long
And you can hear it in the streetcar's song
Listen to the streetcar singing
I read you out a passage
from the Carl Sagan
you picked me up
It's a sweet insight to contemplate
While you're lying on the floor
working at your spine
There's something magic in the air
They way it drifts in and out of our bodies
Keeps us going

God hates fags
and God hates the fetus killers too
America -
will you repent or are you doomed?
You had better pick a side there's no room for indecision
Stick to your guns and gather up your ammunition
Interpretation's for Satan's elitist opposition
Well if Jesus was a bigot you're an excellent Christian
God hates Jews
I think because they killed his Jewish son? (yeah, that must be it)
And everyone's the antichrist
God basically hates everyone (you and you and me and you)
Stick to your ignorance it's a healthy long tradition
You'll see the self fulfilling prophecy to fruition
Well I can't account for all your mental malnutrition
But If Jesus was a bigot you're just an awesome Christian
I'm sure that we can count on all the facts you've hunted
I'm sure God hates it when I call your intellect stunted
Tell me is the rapture too late to show all my contrition
Or should I become an asshole to earn my heavenly admission
and if Jesus was a bigot you're an amazing, incredible, perfect Christian
(You might actually be the second coming. That's right, God in human form! but not the Muslim God, or the Jewish God, or all those other Gods in all those other religions. Let's not be ridiculous. Just stick to the facts. There's only one God and He's white and hates women (not Palin) and He's a capitalist and I'm pretty sure He loves the Tea Party and He definitely
hates Obama.)

Connect

Do we connect?
Do we want to push ourselves into another sect?
Add another issue on the table to elect?
Through countless probes and inquests I suspect
We're a drone
Depthless incarnations through this atone
It doesn't matter how much you talk on your phone
It won't change the fact that you'll die alone
Well maybe we have nothing in common
No common ground
We have nothing bound
No connection found
Do we connect
Or should we leave it open while you defect?
In a moment of indifference I never checked
And now it seems lost with no affect
And so it seems
While this engine we've developed spits and steams
I intend to ignore all of my stomachs screams
And try not to confuse my thoughts with dreams.

Rob Ford (Above the Law)

Rob Ford is above the law
He can do whatever the hell he likes
Make Toronto a shittier place
Drive a shark attack right through those hippie bikes
When Stephen Harper is your best friend
You can do whatever you want
Spit on the rights of your country men
The entitlement and grace of a debutante
Rob Ford is above the law
Rob Ford is above the law
He can do whatever the hell he pleases
Luckily he does not please cardio
He takes stairs to KFC and then he wheezes
Rob Ford is above the law
Let's see you try being mayor of the universe.
