Beacon Street
Doing our best as a family of five
Living in a house of six
Trying hard to survive
And I know sometimes, life is hard
But we keep pushing forward
cause that’s who we are
We believe
That we could do things differently, yeah
We believe
That together we can change anything, woah
We believe
We could do things differently, yeah
That together we can change anything, Woah
In the mist of a pandemic
Rent strikes kick in a wealth consolidates again
And we struggle with our own feelings
About how we can do anything
We believe
That we could do things differently, yeah
We believe
That together we can change anything, woah
We believe
We could do things differently, yeah
That together we can change anything, Woah
I can struggle with the bigger picture
But it’s Saturday once again
And instead of focusing on all my problems
I’m gonna make burritos for my friends
We believe
That we could do things differently, yeah
We believe
That together we can change anything, woah
We believe
We could do things differently, yeah
That together we can change anything, Woah

Lomita and Vermont
Last time around we fell
Birds in the trees
Prisoners in the cells
Ground is calling to our feet
Only a culture of labor keeps us out the streets
Woah oh
Look outside in the dark
Raccoons scavenge and our dogs begin to bark
Militia men at the south
Families on the run
Ice is about
Woah oh
On my way to work in the morn
5am and I rush out the front door
People marching in the street
Another black man murdered by the police
Woah oh
Watch the sun set again
Watch the waves come as my rage rolls in
What’s it gonna take to change
What sacrifices have we yet to make
Woah oh

Ports and Condos
Oh I see you there
As the rain comes down
Under an over pass
As the thunder crashes
And the resources that are withheld from you
Are in abundance
There in abundance
We’ll burn this world down
Yeah We’ll tear it to the ground
We’ll burn this world down
Yeah We’ll tear it to the ground
Shooting last week
Right down the street
From your condos
Yeah your beach retreat
And the media
Without a word from their lips
Treated valueless
Treated valueless
We’ll burn this world down
Yeah We’ll tear it to the ground
Oh We’ll burn this world down
Yeah We’ll tear it to the ground
Charity offered
It’s conditional
Housing offered
It’s conditional
Suffering created
It’s bountiful
World we live in
Isn’t functional
We’ll burn this world down
Yeah We’ll tear it to the ground
Oh We’ll burn this world down
Yeah We’ll tear it to the ground

Always
Every day is a new day
Filled with joy and a few mistakes
And we have a hard day
Well, We look at each other and say

Sneaking candy, eating hungry snacks

Essentially Expendable
Your lucky
Your lucky
Your an essential
It’s what they told me
Get out there
With your head held high
And take one for the team
We’ve gotta keep
America strong
We’ve gotta keep
Her moving along
Yeah we know that sometimes life is hard
But we’re willing to sacrifice your life for ours
And if you didn’t see it before
Well I hope you see it now
It’s as obvious as it could be
That your a wage slave
And that’s all they’ll ever see
While they sit there
With their families
Collecting money
That you’ll never see
And your working everyday so hard
Just trying to survive
We’ve gotta keep
America strong
We’ve gotta keep
Her moving along
Yeah we know that sometimes life is hard
But we’re willing to sacrifice your life for ours
And if you didn’t see it before
Well I hope you see it now
It’s as obvious as it could be
That your a wage slave
But your more to me
When we talk with
Our fellow workers
Decide we’re going on strike
We’re not going to work
Not afraid of boss anymore
We can run this place ourselves
We don’t wanna keep
American strong
We don’t wanna keep
Her moving along
Yeah we think it’s time that your life is hard
It’s time we sacrifice your wealth for ours
And if you didn’t see it before
Well I hope you see it now
It’s as obvious as it could be
That your a wage slave
But we’re more collectively

Wooden Fish
Woke up in the morning
Whats the time
Woke up made some coffee
Yeah I feel alright
Then that old familiar thought creeps in
Oh your worth nothing if you produce nothing
But I want to tell you
That it’s alright
If you want to lay here and do nothing tonight
Woke up feeling defeated
Once again
Woke up drove to work
With that same feeling
Then that old familiar thought creeps in
Oh your worth nothing if you produce nothing
But I want to tell you
That it’s alright
If you want to lay here and do nothing tonight
Woke up with the sorrow
Deep inside
Woke up with the grief
Will the world be alright
Yeah that old familiar thought creeps in
Oh your worth nothing if you produce nothing
But I want to tell you
That it’s alright
If you want to lay here and do nothing tonight (x2)

It’s up to you
It’s up to you (x4)

Probably Nothing, Possibly Everything
by Pat The Bunny
supported by 38 fans who also own “wildfire”
I don't think anything I write here will do justice to the artist who commited to this. It feels like he lets his heart open up to you with vulnerability and colours of sorrow, confusion, frustration and hope. All at once. And it's genuine. What does it all mean? Read the title. It all falls down in place and it's truly great.

Scratchy DIY punk from Philadelphia with an impeccable list of inspirations. Think Crass, Flux of Pink Indians, This Heat, and Chronophage.
