Poverty Row

Bushido 01:33
What's left of a hero except for their name? It's your actions, not words, that people retain. There are no enemies that cannot be defeted. There is honor in loosing, death is a reward. Respect your foe, even though he'll be vanquished.

They came here through our blue harvest; taking everything and keeping what was left. Began setting up their "civilization". Forgetting that we are the First Nation. Just sign there, this is no time to talk. The land we'll take is about a two day walk. Your Chiefs all agreed some fifty years past. It's true they didn't sign. it's also true they didn't last.

Mayflies 00:45
Extinction is the rule, survival, the exception. Our pale blue dot is headed for destruction. We once were star bound, adventures lay ahead, Now we're like Mayflies Live for a day, and think it's forever. Remember when we heard the song of the open road?

Juice Man 01:39
We don't wanna sound blunt or cold hearted- It's not our problem; you've known our position. We'll give you six months; you'll get no reprieve If you don't think so, our Judge will believe. So sorry for your loss, but they left a sizable sum. You won't even have any space in your head after we're done.

"God gave me money, the public be damned!" Says the Jolly Banker peddling 21st century scams. "we are not in business for our health I can hire one half of you lot to kill the other half" How I long for the days when everything's sunny. What good is ten million if you can't have real money? Money is gold and nothing else.P

Traits 01:06
People don't reall change do they? Sure, anything's possible. People are malleable. But, people don't really change, do they? How could they? Could you? I try every day. I fail everyday. I just want to be better. Live grateful. Think clearer. Like Beckett says, Try again, fail again, fail better.
7.
We do not come as aggressors Our war is not a war of conquest We fight in defense of our homes, For our families, and prosterity. We have begged, and they have mocked our calamity We have petetioned, petitions scorned. We have entreated, entreaties disregarded. We beg no longer We entreat no more We petition no further. We defy. You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.
8.
A little taste is all it takes. Boot down and see what power makes. Little boys playing cops and bandits, so called justice makes me sick. To protect and serve your neighborhood maybe one day it'll be understood A little taste is all it takes. Boot down and see what power makes. Innocense is the only thing you smote. All cuz you've got a tin shield and a blue coat.
9.
He heard it from the television. No, she saw it in a book. We only do what we're told till we don't. Eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth, leaves the world blind and hungry It's only progress, come and see, take a look. When will our herder come to take us home?
10.
This red decade, do yu remeber when? Now it's just theater, comedy and tragedy. Remeber when the kids all sang, "Better dead than red"? God save the Queen! Do you know what I mean? Sent her victorious, happy and glorious! Now they chose Nazis in their Parlament Makes you wonder who's next? Soon the kids sing, "Better red than dead!" If we want independence, we're gonna need help No one votes cuz politics is shit. But in this life you gotta take it easy, but take it. We are nothing, let us be all.
