Banditoland 04:45
Stranded in this ghost town Can't afford a shave Man done took my whiskey so I showed him to his grave Map was in his pocket Ripped it from my kill "X" is where banditos guard a fortune in the hills. An outlaw riding through the Rio Grande A hunted hand They mean to hang me cuz I shot that man Durango Dan Banditoland We rode rode rode where once mighty rivers flowed Till we came upon that mighty, holy glow Gold gold gold is the master of our souls And we'll chip and sift until we're stiff and cold And did the Gringo with his pick and pan Defile the land? A horse and rifle and a half ass plan To kill that clan Banditoland Down down down to some varmint ridden town Where we got real drunk, played cards and kicked around Spent it damn near all on the girls who came to call Now the Sheriff's got our balls against the wall We came out blastin at that caravan To Hell we ran Left us for dyin' in the blood soaked sand With guns in hand Our final stand This lawless band From Texas and... Banditoland

In On It 03:11
they told me that Lee Oswald murdered Kennedy and in turn he was killed by Jack Ruby cancer killed Ruby 'fore his penalty but if you ask me it's all a conspiracy I think the Bush's and the Kray's in connection with the Grey's were working for the shadow men to turn us all into prey it's a complicated tale tied to a stranger past and like every good tail it comes right out of your ass call me crazy but it's all true, so I won't listen you everyone's in on it and I don't know what to do maybe you're in on it too Tricky Dicky hired a couple thugs one day to figure out what everyone was going to say Gerald let him go for democracy but the whole damn thing seems fishy to me I think the Masons and the Klan had a dark secret plan to see if any Democrats were Annunaki fans it's all in the scrolls and it's an epic tale that wags back and forth to tell us how we all fail call me crazy but it's all true, so I won't listen you everyone's in on it and I don't know what to do maybe you're in on it too they're telling me in 2012 that I might as well kill myself they're telling me it all falls down when the Lizard Men come to town but I just don't know. will they really milk fear from my soul? I just can't tell will they really harvest us all? and take our race to Nibiru? I don't feel like hearing about it if you're right, what difference does it make? I don't feel like fearing the future even though, either way, it's the smartest thing to do call me crazy but it's all true, so I won't listen you everyone's in on it and I don't know what to do maybe you're in on it too

and as I waste away just waiting for another day to come and shine the light into my eyes and burn away the ties that bind us to the past while the future comes to fast and I'm not gonna last but could we get away and make a great escape to the place, without leaving a trace of the time that we spent and the space that we bent spinning all the while now I'm dizzy and I'm feeling like I've had a bit too much to drink had too much to drink I think and as I am waiting here just wasting all my time and hate and fear on things that only disappear when I come near and then I hear it on the wind it splits me like a grin and leaves me to the breeze and if we leave It all and let it fade away into the night use it as a guiding light until the fresh day arrives you we know that we'll survive yes we'll be all right now I'm dizzy and I'm feeling like I've had a bit too much to drink I've had too much to drink I think and in another time we'll wait in line to be told that we're fine and that a sign should shine right through theee shattered windows leading to a scattered past that lies like broken glass blanketing the streets and there's no time to waste we need to take the chance of our lives because now it's do or die but victory is ours I can taste it from afar carried by the breeze and if I'm sober when its over wont you come and give me something strong that wont take long is that so wrong

The Ballad 03:34
poor man, don't you feel a little betrayed by the confidence game your peers and your anchors played? rich man, don't you feel a little ashamed? the insulation you made was built on the corpse of the brave. poor man, while you drink from the pouring rain do you feel like you never even had a chance to get ahead with something saved? rich man, did you wager on the failure of commerce for a little more gain you could even buy your way out of blame is it worth your head when the unfed wanna be fed? asleep in you bed something ugly is stirring and we're all unsure but there aint no way to get your soul insured and remember that one day the mighty fuhrer couldn't scare his victims away poor man, don't you think about a change? not on button or a garnish to hope, but an action with results? rich man, aren't you just a little afraid of your abstract overhead becoming too much to pay? poor man, you're used, abused, battered and broken they're out of ideas they're just pouring blood onto your bleeding body rich man, your philosophy is getting redundant right or wrong, revolutions taste sweetest to the weakest are you truly prepared? even the slightest bit scared for the march of the mad? have I lost my mind, or is the future defined? is it what can't be, or is your thinking behind? remember that one day Caesar inquired to his friend "Et tu, Brute?" to every act there's consequence you think you got the better sense but every age has tiny men beating on the castle wall all empires are sure to fall you don't need to hear the call they'll let you know when it's time to cull one way or another, man it may not be in your plans a way is found to rise above the muck of avarice and shove our way into a better day so we can change the name and do it all again

Fly Away 04:25
one bright morning, when this life is o'er I'll fly away, to that home on God's celestial shore I'll fly away. I'll fly away (O glory) I'll fly away (in the morning) when I die, Hallelujah bye and bye, I'll fly away when the shadows of this life have gone, I'll fly away like a bird from prison bars has flown, I'll fly away oh how glad and happy when we meet, I'll fly away no more cold darn shackles on my feet, I'll fly away just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away to a land where joys shall never end , I'll fly away
