Pastel tractors
Treading tirelessly
Through corporation automation
Robotic hands of injustice
disassemble all the freedoms
So hard won so long ago
Teased and hazed so far they finally
Fell under the strain
Truth be told, your life's controlled
By ruthless men
Who laugh to feel your pain
Buy that big lie
Raise it high
Wave it proud
Show the world for all to see
Chant it loud and feverishly
Celebrate your whiteness
And it's dark history
Slavery and genocide
Reflect the values deep inside
How we're able to preside
In the land of the free
Armed with such ineptitude
And such a cocky attitude
Truly believing that all is ours
As meant to be
Wading through the lies and slander
Truth, not a word was said
Are you waiting for the answer
To clearly knock you upside the head?
Another year another dollar
Trade your chains in for a collar
You can't live my life like that
It's hell in your own wishing well
You're wishing you were a stranger
No one told you your virtue would hurt you
Well I don't know
And I don't care
about your ignorance or apathy
it's a forced compliance
crushed defiance
corporate giants
culture of worker bees

Donnerybeck's Machine

One day a young Republican
went walkin in a store
he bought a pound of sausages
and laid them on the floor
and then he started whistling
the evilest little tune
and all the little sausages
went dancing round the room
(congregation sing along)
OH MR DONNERYBECK
HOW COULD YOU BE SO MEAN?
I KNEW THAT YOU'D BE SORRY
FOR INVENTING THAT MACHINE
THOSE LONG HAIRED RATSAND DEMOCRATS
WILL NEVER MORE BE SEEN
WE'LL GRIND THEM UP TO SAUSAGE MEAT
IN DONNERBECK'S MACHINE! !
One night when no one was looking
they rounded up the weak
they cut the funding
pulled the plug
on those that tried to speak
and nobody tried to stop them
as they hunted down some more
they killed the best
enslaved the rest
and now we eat the poor
(not very good eatin!)
When night when all was quiet
the darned thing would'nt work
so Donneybeck he stepped inside
to see what he could do
his wife was having a nightmare
and walking in her sleep
she gave the crank a great big yank
and Donneybeck was meat!
CHORUS
(everbody sing along! don't be shy!)
OH MR DONNERY BECK HOW COULD YOU BE SO MEAN ?
WE KNEW THAT YOU'D BE SORRY FOR INVENTING THAT MACHINE
THOSE LONG HAIRED RATS AND DEMOCRATS
WILL NEVER MORE BE SEEN
WE'LL GRIND THEM UP TO SAUSAGE MEAT
IN DONNERYBECK'S MACHINE!

Shopping For Jewels

Just refuse to believe,
evil plots up my sleeve.
Lock in step, go blindly forward
fascism is its own reward.
scale and size of all the lies
is working now just close your eyes
I chew the heads and suck the souls
of unseen third world nations.
enslave the peasants’ most unpleasant
family situations
I’ll stage a coup or march on through
Just waste the opposition
Who’ll take the fall? Mass graves for all
Who don’t see my position
Don’t let me see what I might be
Just keep me undereducated, subjugated supple and dumb!
Your plastic stamped out fenced in
housing complex insulates you.
So glad to see you finally realized
everybody hates you.
Laughed out loud above the crowd
you plead with now to spare you
burned your lifeboat, slit your own throat
nowhere to escape to.
We could forgive and let you live
No, I say Kill’ em all and quickly
A sharpened stick, an eye for an eye!
Well I guess that’s not nice, killing folks not good advice
Stay and wait sit calmly we won’t ask you twice nice
Hide your head instead both hands, close your eyes and count backwards
Listen to the voice and obey the commands.
95% of the people
have only 5 of the wealth
not the best condition
for that stable social health
to the .05 it’s lookin’ good
you know they want their way to last
deny the problem – blame the victim
Victors write the past
Cause its Man over Nature
Any thought or foresight trashed
Gut the arts and public broadcast
Cookie Monster smashed!
No Health, No edjucation so we just
Done ain’t got the tools
While they’re laughing to the bank
And then out shopping for jewels
Love the diamonds don’t you too?
Just refuse to believe
evil plots up their sleeve
Lock in step go blindly forward
Fascism is it’s own reward.
Scale and size of the all the lies
Is working now just close your eyes.

Too Much Coffee

Well I drank way too much coffee
That’s what happened to me
Could you scrape me off the ceiling?
Cause I got just a little too much energy
Oh Mr. Waiter Don’t go away
Could you please bring me a double latte ¢
My patience getting kinda frayed
It’s the 15th one I’ve had today yeah!
All my nerves so sharp and keen
Kinda irritable, kinda mean
I end up makin’ such a scene
All cause I drank too much caffeine
Stayed up studying through the night
Then I stressed out to the first light
I gave my teacher such a fright
It’s plain to see, I’m a little uptight
Swillin’ Joe to such excess
Teeth-a-grindin from the stress
Why I do it it’s hard to tell
Putting myself through this kind of hell
So I cleaned the closets, mowed the lawn.
Painted the house at the crack a dawn!
Cleaned the basement, washed the dog,
Got my spices catalogued,
Washed the dishes, washed the windows,
swept the driveway, took the trash out,
Changed the cat box, cleaned the toaster,
watched some daytime television,
swept the floor, shampooed the rug, I tell you caffeine’s my kind of drug!

Brian Kenney Fresno Fresno, California
My name is Brian Kenney Fresno, and I have this super fun solo ROCK show
where I sing modern TALES of urban
legends and epics of the absurd- in a
sing along format, mostly about Fresno Ca, my home town, and everytime I say
"Fresno", everybody eats the raisins and says "WHOOO!" in a group
experience.
It's really fun!
Everybody laughs a lot!
