All the hype money can buy

The Greatest Story Ever Told Lyrics
"How's your life?" "How are things?" "Great they're going okay!" Something stale and superficial, not to ruin your day. Something swell, something gay, with the toothiest smile, something sappy, something happy, something smells like bile. I don't want to burst your bubble, not to rain on your parade, underneath my skin I'm tired, limping down the path I've made. The clap of thunder in my veins, breaks on barren manifold, still and small and so mundane, the greatest story ever told. Are you crawling through the dismal? Gray of nothing, frostbite kills. Does this world make light of weaving, Shrouds to bury, graves to fill? I am just a kindred spirity, a runner who is running still. Welcome to the longest mile, the most costly thing you'll ever hold, wonderful is the journey, the greatest story every told. All my dreams are slowly dying. I can count my years in scars. The only one that's never left me, has carried me so very far. I've heard it said that he wastes nothing, so beautiful to behold, the Author of my hope is writing, the greatest story ever told.

Me Oh My
ISAIAH 56:1Me oh my, There's something happening in the sky. I see my favorite face, It chokes me up so fiercely, And I'm filled with your light, Soaked with your grace, I'll dance all night, I've got to say goodbye. Chorus: There's something happening in the sky, Me oh my! I recall that I'm yours now I'm feeling fine, Me oh my, you're mine. I sense a coming reign, A hand to hold the nations up in peace. The sun smiles down and warms our hearts, It's happening in the sky.

Solidarity
To the brothers and the sisters,to all of the resistors, to the workers broke and cryin', on the road that leads to Zion: The mountain, the mountain, we will all climb, all of God's children, in God's own time. chorus Unity the verb, solidarity. You the truth have heard, solidarity. Rise up to the call, solidarity. United we can never fall. Let one voice ring throughout the world, let truth be sown, let us lay our own lives down, a greater love was never known. While the light is growing dim, make war to keep your faith in him, knowing what has made us free, unity, not uniformity. One world, one voice, in trenches we stand tall, one truth that has found us, one shepherd for us all.

The Phantom Mullet
Cruisin' downtown in your Camaro,REO Speedwagon on the stereo. It's kind of catchy, Kind of a virus, Cutting your hair like Billy Ray Cyrus. You're probably bummed, You probably cried, You're probably sad that the guy from Lynrd Skynrd died, You're probably singing "oh, oh, oh", All night long. Chorus" Feel the power of the PHANTOM MULLET, Tremble and cower from the PHANTOM MULLET, White metal burn of the PHANTOM MULLET, Combed straight or permed it's THE PHANTOM MULLET, And you, cutting it short on top, I want that for me. Growing it long in the back, So savage and so free. Drop into first you're taking it slow, You're such a rock-star, You could never know. I wish I was singing, "oh, oh, oh", All night long.

Ugly Day
I can't believe this ever happened,I didn't think it ever could, I'm the author of sappy love songs, Trading in my bachelorhood. Something snapped deep inside me, Something that somebody said, I felt the brush of angels wings then, Your voice echoed in my head. Chorus: Ugly Day the sun is shining, Every cloud's got a silver lining. Ugly day the skies are blue, Now every day is ugly without you. .Are the one pure thing, That I've always prayed for. Scales are falling from my eyes, I must have been so blind before. I would lie down on the street, To keep the dust off of your feet, I would kneel each time I kissed you, Anything Christie I miss you. Today was an ugly one, Just like all the others. All the flowers and the birds, Making me feel smothered. I would lie down on the street, To keep the dust off your feet, I would kneel each time I kissed you, Anything Christie I miss you.

Fahrenheit
Flash Gordon soundtrack, I was in second grade. My first real record, yeah, worn down it played and played. Young and blind, my double mind. When the world was black and white, watch me turn my back tonight, on Freddie Mercury, Mr. Fahrenheit. I was in eighth grade, I said he was a queer, I thought he had it coming, he died of Aids that year. My liberty, like Christ's death meant nothing to me. When my veins choked thick with spite, blind man's bluff burns in hindsight, for Freddie Mercury, Mr. Fahrenheit. Predisposed to bigotry, the regular run-of-the-mill American story. The stench of greasepaint on our faces, pass the mask to our next of kin, instead of wiser idioms, like "love the sinner, hate the sin".

Four-Fifty-One
Here the man draws the line for separation.(Old Vision). Watch the man build up his walls for isolation. (You make division). Walk no mile, I'm sick and tired, of all the cowards at the radio station. No cathartic plot to thicken, to quote the vernacular, I'd say that you're chicken. chorus We're going nowhere, and it's happening fast, a dim future, and a darker past. Somewhere away from here, from past mistakes they often learn, at Fahrenheit 451, you close your doors and let it burn. Pharisees in the church, time to take a vacation. (Emancipation). Pharisees think the world comes to them for salvation. (Booyah). The radio is preaching the candy coated goo, the record companies and the TV too. No one rocks the boat, terrified of trouble, can't tamper with the walls of their sterile Christian bubble. It was never your point to get people saved, you pad yourself with fluff just because you're afraid. I'm not afraid to point the finger now, the choir's so used to the preaching anyhow.

You Probably Shouldn't Move Here
Well I heard that your state could be sinking,deep into the briny sea, and all of them earthquakes got you thinking, 'bout leaving Californee-ee. There's riots and there's floods and it's smoggy, toxic waste on yonder beach, and all of them Hippies down in SANTA CRUZ, are startin' to suck just like a leach. You're sick of sunshine and surfing, you've had all the tofu you can take, well lookee here times-a-wastin', you just move to the Centennial state! chorus Some people think our state is square, they're wrong just wait and see, I walk a mile high, Colorado's right for me. Well ridin' on a cow can make you tired, and it gets a little cold, "That's true!", but if y'all could use a little swayin', here's Val from the W's! Riding rodeos and square dancing, you farm like mad all day, you might think that I'm lying, shoot listen what my uncle's gotta say! "I'm an old smelly geezer, I don't know what rhymes with that, if you've got a boil you could pick it, get out of my yard and give me my chicken!"

Hurricanes
Yo toda via espero un milagro, Yo toda via te espero a ti. The sunlight is fading, the longest shadows have been cast. Like songs from a siren, hurricanes from the past. And I am a failure, defeated every time, so let me lie here, a sidewalk for a shrine. chorus I am so lonely, they say you were lonely too. Dear God be my savior, I wait for you. My broken spirit, is trembling slow. Park bench for a throne now, my blanket is the snow. And I'm being haunted, by long forgotten dreams, for hurricanes have, the bluest eyes I've ever seen. I am pining for your mercy, for this storm to break, Lord you are my comfort, the hope for which I wait.

Giants
When no one looks the clouds come rolling in,And under darkened skies the buildings grow big teeth and eyes. They breathe and walk through unending doors, Eating restaurants, and barbershops, and hardware stores. With catch phrases and jingles stealing, Steal and concrete lies, The corridors of Babylon are craning for the skies. Chorus: Who's behind the curtain anyway, Who pulls the levers and tells the lies? Giants roam the land today, Gaining dominance with every stride. Oh don't you cry for the mom and pops, Nothing but dry eyes for integrity's demise. Hulking machines grind as whistles blow, Corporate Darwinism crushes everything below. Advances in efficiency increasing productivity, Are narrowing the margin for liberty. " This house is haunted by the ghost of Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations and the further death of innocence. To rule the world, the desire of every man, The earth is shaking, There are giants in the land. See the blood red sun is rising, On the broken carnage from the darkest days. Giants locked together arm and arm, Pushing all the meek out of the way.

I Still Like Larry
I still like Larry. Larry, married Mary, now he's gone so far away, I might go as far as to say, that I still like Larry, yeah I still like Larry anyway.

All The Hype
In the beginning was the hype,the loud fanfare as I grabbed the mic. Suckah M.C.'s stepped with no clout, don't quit your day job or your paper route. Fantastic and so spastic, drop dope rhymes like sonic booms, that's the kind of hype that could clear this room. I got hype so big, it's stacked so high, other M.C.'s just stand and cry. Brad slapped your Mama, your Mama asked "why?" When Brad says "hype", you do or die. Implausible, impossible, we drop dope rhymes like sonic booms, that's the kind of hype that could clear this room. chorus The packaging is nice, we're building it to sell, call all your people in Hollywood and Nashville. It's one in a million, in fact we broke the die, it's all of the hype that your money can buy. It's the fattest rhymes, it's the hypest hype, my name is Reese, Don't call me Mike. This song is good, don't ask me why, it's all the hype that your money can buy. Falsified unjustified, drop dope rhymes like sonic booms, that's the kind of hype that could clear this room. It's so wrong, so far from true, in secret, I'm just like you.

It's Not Unusual

New Hope
Amyıs going back to school today Elation, jubilation screams from her face Did the halls smell of gunpowder still What made the human heart dark enough to kill? A new hope Where is your freedom A new hope cast off your burdens A darker world was behind this one Cryptic it hides beneath perception We all saw it on that day Stunned we stood stuttering What did the news say A new hope Where is your freedom A new hope Here is your freedom Peace Fills us Amyıs going back to school todayElation, jubilation screams from her face Did the halls smell of gunpowder still What made the human heart dark enough to kill? A new hope Where is your freedom A new hope cast off your burdens A darker world was behind this one Cryptic it hides beneath perception We all saw it on that day Stunned we stood stuttering What did the news say A new hope Where is your freedom A new hope Here is your freedom Peace Fills us By hope we steer Our dark hearts salvage We live without fear

World Without End
For all the deepest thought compiled,philosophy to laws of physics, no one's ever heard or seen, a more beautiful thing, than this love that saved us. chorus In the soundless awe and wonder, words fall short to hope again. How beautiful, how vast your love is, new forever, world without an end. The very spark that burns the stars, drew near to me today, the God of everything that is, whispered in my ear that His love is boundless.
