Mother's Day Song - Adam Sandler

word up - John Wayne

[blind-fitter]

"John Wayne WAs A Nazi" - by MDC

John Wayne was a Nazi

He liked to play SS

Kept a picture of Apolph,

Tucked in his cowboy vest

Sure he would string up your mother

Sure he would torture your pa

Sure he would march you up to the wall

Sure he would hang you by your last ball

[Chorus:]

He was a Nazi

But not anymore

He was a Nazi

Life evens the score

John Wayne slaughtered our Indian brothers

Burned their villages and raped their mothers

Now he has given them the white man's lord

Live by this, or die by the sword

[Chorus]

John Wayne killed a lot of gooks in the war

We don't give a f**k about John anymore

We all heard his tale of blood and gore

Just another pawn for the capitalist whore

[Chorus]

John Wayne wore an army uniform

Didn't like us reds and fags that didn't conform

Great white hero had so much nerve

Lived much longer than he deserved

[Chorus]

Late show Indian or Mexican dies

Klan propaganda legitimized

Hypocrite coward never fought a real fight

When I see John I'm ashamed to be white

Death bed Christian of this you avowed

If God's alive, you're roastin' now

Well John, we got no regrets

As long as you died a long and painful death

You were a nazi,

but not any more,

You were a nazi,

Life evens score,

You were a nazi,

But not any more,

You were a nazi,

Life evens the score,

You're dead, dead, dead.

Oh it's the taste I savor....

my favorite currency

"Hourglass" ~ RCPM

Word Up: Coin

[edna]

Well, by this time I was fed up

At tryin' to make a stab

At bringin' back any help

For my friends and Captain Arab

I decided to flip a coin

Like either heads or tails

Would let me know if I should go

Back to ship or back to jail

So I hocked my sailor suit

And I got a coin to flip

It came up tails

It rhymed with sails

So I made it back to the ship

Word up: unamused

[blind-fitter]

"USED, ABUSED, UNAMUSED" - The Icons Of Filth

Fear is the maintainer of this living death called system

Lied to to comply and never ask why

There’s people out here building bombs

People out here righting your wrongs

People out here dying in pain

People out here crying in vain

People out here who just want grain

While you just sit and watch playing life and death games

Still, we accept it ’cos you know best

No you don’t, just a few can’t rule the rest

So much we could do if we’d only realise

Like fighting for peace instead of watching the skies

Like seeing our stupidity, blindness, hilarity

As being only moulded so we can then maybe clarify

Instead of turning a blind eye to maintain some sort of sanity

There’s a big difference between need and greed

They tell us ‘sign this box, we’ll make things better’

They’re out to fool you, you’ve got to be clever

Voting concedes incapability to run your own life

Well how would you know if you ain’t ever tried?

Gotta fight back and refuse to be ruled,

To show that we care and we ain’t no-ones fools

We don’t have to stand for the games that they play

Used, Abused, Unamused? Yeah, every day.

Confidence tricksters they take us for a ride

Political jokers, but I don’t see the funny side

They use to the full this system they’ve perfected

Political jokes are funny but not when they get elected

I can see it’s all crap, I’m not as blind as they tell me

It’s a using, abusing, unamusing story

Maybe we’ll all see we’re not as blind as they think

See the chains? Be yourself. Smash the links.

Word up: distress

[Crazy Don]

I don't mean to bother you, but I'm in distress

There's danger of me losing all of my happiness

For I love a girl who doesn't know I exist

And this you can fix

"Cupid," Sam Cooke
