If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics, I would tell you
that it's easier to desire  and pursue the attention and admiration of
100 strangers than it is to accept the love and  loyalty of those
closest to me and I would tell you that sometimes I prefer to look at
myself  through someone else's eyes. Eyes that aren't clouded with tears
of knowing what an asshole I  can be, as yours are. If ever I would stop
thinking about music and politics, I might be able to  listen in silence
to your concerns rather than hearing everything as an accusation or an 
indictment against me. I would tell you that sometimes I use sex to
avoid communication. It's  the best escape when we're down on our luck,
but I can express more emotions than laughter,  anger and let's fuck...
If ever I would stop thinking about music and politics, I would tell
you  that the personal revolution is far more difficult and is the first
step in any revolution. I would
tell you that music is the expression of emotion and that politics is
merely the decoy of  perception. 

Hangin by a root
shoot motherfucker shoot
Whip it up
Whip it where you got nothin but pain
And dance 
And dance
And dance
Hangin
Just Hangin
By a root
Bang Bang cause happiness is
Shoot shoot cause happiness is
a warm blanket baby and my steel guitar
And eat
And eat
And eat 
Eat me
Fuck me
Hunt me
Love me
And dance
And the torture never
Never
Never stops
Take ride to California
Just before dawn
and knock them motherfuckers out
on they front lawns
and before they get up
I'll be gone
long gone
