Alright!
People get whup!
Yeah I'm a beat-up dreamer too,
I'm a justice fighter too,
penniless oatmeal eater,
student turned farmer,
renter turned squatter,
yeah I'm a bed frame breaker,
a river rock layer on-er,
come skinny dip in the river with me,
our planet just got hotter!
We got no time to wait for justice!
Yesterday their time was up!
Not goin limp n' lyin' down,
when sea level got sense to rise up!
You say: “2050 blah blah blah,
we’ll pass a law blah blah” - enough!
Our patience and our sky’s on fire,
and now our people wised up, that:
The wilderness is not for purchase,
the will of god is not the church's!
The wilderness is not for purchase,
the will of god is not the church's!
People get whup!
Roll the city up like rug!
Find the body underneath!
Now we forgot the men’s last names
the men put on our peaks!
Dance 'til nothing is for sale again,
and nothing is for free!
We’re dancing on,
that door right now!
Let’s pick em up!
We’ll put em down!
Hear our bodies, howlin’ answers,
feel our minds trampled by dancers!
People get whup!
We're gonna get up to the ground!
Now the way up is down!
Now the way up is down!
Let’s go!
Come on!

Tie-dye shirt in a country bar,
I was lookin' 'round the room,
This girl said: "what you lookin' for hippie?"
I said: "guess I'm looking for you?"
She said: "I'm lookin' backatchoobaby!"
Do no harm, woncha' take m'arm m'lookin' backatchoobaby,
When I see you lookin' back at me m'lookin'
"My father was from Tubuktim,
my mom from Timbuktu,
but thanks to the power of peace and love
I'm here singin' this song for you!"
She said: "I'm here cause I drove my truck
from my house down the street.
And now we got all that cleared up,
would you like to dance with me!?"
I said: "I'm lookin' backatchoobaby!"
Ain't no ring g'on do yo thang lookin' backatchoobaby!
Hook on, good goin' don't look away see'm lookin backatchoobaby!
Can't be calm, you turn me on!
Hey now I'm a-lookin!
This night is reaching for us,
this life is fleeting for us,
our hearts are beating for us,
to love...
Three years later I's gettin' hitched
in a cowboy hat 'n boots!
And when she walked in in a tie-dye dress
I hollered out: "I do!"
She yelled: "I'm lookin' backatchoobaby!"
We're in love, let's cut the rug, we're lookin' backatchoobaby!
Pass the bottle y'all, let's get rowdy lookin' backatchoobaby!
Hey now I'm a-lookin!
Backatchoobaby!
I'm lookin' backatchoobaby!
Well, I'm lookin' backatchoobaby!

Whup! Whup! Whup! Whup!
Lord, I feel just like goin' on,
feel just like goin' on,
I have come this far,
I'm not gonna turn around,
feel just like goin' on!
Lord, I feel like I'm on my way,
feel like I'm on my way,
I have come this far,
I'm not gonna turn away,
feel like I'm on my way!
Feel just like goin' on!
Lord I feel like we're almost there,
feel like we're almost there!
We have come this far,
and you can't hold us here,
feel like we're almost there!
Feel just like goin' on!
Heart pouring on in endless song, how can I keep from singing?
When equality tells supremacy we're goin' on?
When Black Lives tells everybody we're livin' on?
When the mountains gonna howl right on?
Kicking, thrashing for the surface - right on!
You can't hold us down!
You can't hold us back!
We're goin' on!
Whup! Whup! Whup! Whup!

Brother, brother, grab your boyfriend's hand!
Sister, sister, grab your girl... grab both your girlfriends!
We're not up to any mischief tonight (no good)...
But if we are, I hope you understand (you should!)
We're all trying to crack the same cement now!
We're all pushing back stronger from the same ground!
We're not trying to overthrow the government (nah)...
But if we are, I hope you understand - it's not our fault!
We feel just like goin' on!

When You're In Love
05:07

It's so hard to get stuff done
(when you're in love)
you just lay in bed together and your phones ring and ring on
(when you're in love)
your friends leave you messages like: "are you dead? did you die? did you move to Taiwan?"
(when you're in love)
job calls you up says: "are you ever coming back to work?"
you're like: "maybe I'm not!?"
When you're in love
It's so hard not to gross everyone else out in the cafe
(when you're in love)
you're sippin' each others drinks! nibblin' each others food! finishing the things each other say!
(when you're in love)
now you're seeing if your first name sounds good with their last
(when you're in love)
you start carrying around your pajamas, toothbrush, contacts when you're in love!
When you're in love
(ooo-hoo-hoo I love you)
dinner time ding-ding, still wearin' the bed sheets!
(ooo-hoo-hoo I do)
now I got your shirt on my back and your socks on my feet!
(ooo-hoo-hoo I love you)
I love the way you do it girl - you do it so sweet when ya...
oh - you love me baby!
oh yeah, all right!
get no sleep, get no sleep, get no sleep she make me leave my light on!
get no sleep!
get no!
get!
whup!
When you're in love!
when you're in love!
yes we're in love!
girl you're in love!
oh I'm in love!
yeah - love!
when you're in love!
oh love, yeah, love!
when you're in love!
(ooo-hoo-hoo I love you)
riding bikes and we hit a red light at the intersection,
(ooo-hoo-hoo I do)
we got a little bit a time, so we think we'll start neckin'
(ooo-hoo-hoo I love you)
the light turns green but we don't see it now!
(ooo-hoo-hoo I do)
red light again, green light, red light...
(ooo-ooo-ooo I love you)
red yellow green red yellow green red yellow...
(ooo-ooo-ooo I do)
people cheering from their cars, let 'em yell baby!
(ooo-ooo-ooo I love you)
green red green red, wish we had a bed mama!
(ooo-ooo-ooo I do)
I got a girl who feeds me, licks on my titties
(ooo-hoo-hoo I do)
we're so damn purdy, tell the whole damn jury now!
(so damn purdy, tell the whole damn jury now!)
tell the judge, tell the judge, tell the judge to set me free!
(so damn purdy, tell the whole damn jury now!)
'cause I know the judge and the judge knows me!
(so damn purdy, tell the whole damn jury now!)
I said sorry 'bout your daughter Honor, you can't blame me!
(so damn purdy, tell the whole damn jury now!)
she's so purdy - got to get her home in a hurry! Come on jury!
(Yah Yah!)

Whenever You're Ready
05:44
|

Stand with me and look through history,
see the workers organize,
and fight brave revolutions,
and win their new sunrise,
then watch their new-formed governments,
corrupt and strip their rights,
and watch it all repeat again,
or hear the forest sigh:
"when will you cease to fight for wages,
and start fighting for our lives?
whenever you're ready,
I will be here waiting,
whenever you're ready,
a wheneva-whenever you're
whenever you're ready!"
So we left civilization,
to find nature's purity,
we dropped out of college, quit our jobs,
and climbed the mountain peaks,
but when we tried to join the mountain goats,
they circled their young ones up the slope sayin:
"why would we circle with you -
who won't even circle with your own?
don't you know your heard and you are
inseparable, no matter how far from them you go?"
And they said:
whenever you're ready,
we will be here waiting,
whenever you're ready,
oye gente, canten conmigo
whenever you're ready!"
How can I want your revolution -
another car your thugs can steal?
I don't wanna take your backseat,
shotgun, or the wheel!
I don't need your god or leader
or their permission to be free!
I don't need your stenciled hero,
or your statue of liberty!
I wanna howl in the canyon,
feel it howl out of me,
with the liberty of a little child..
We are decentralized revolution,
we can touch and breathe our goals,
we claim the flamboyant rainbowed sky
as our own national soul,
and every tree's our country's flag,
air - water - earth - we give rights to 'em,
so you can open your stores, and throw your wars,
my people won't shop or fight for ya,
you can read our advertisements,
we'll leave 'em burning in the night for ya,
standing circled with the wild,
my people:
Whenever you're ready
we will be here waiting
whenever you're ready
oye mama yeah!
whenever you're ready
I hear - I hear the people hummin,' I feel - feel a change a-comin up I'm ready
(whenever you're ready)
all across the country now, hear the people speakin' up out loud, hear the people singin' out sing it!
(whenever you're ready)
we're on our way! we're on our way! we're on our way!
(whenever you're ready)
yeah - ready! we're goin' on, it won't be long!
(whenever you're ready)
whup comin whup comin!
singing "whenever you're ready"
shake your peace! get whup!
(shake your peace, shake your peace, shake your peace)
don' matter how low you feel now!
get moving! we're on the train they can't stop now!
(whenever you're ready)
I can't help it! I can't hold me back!
come on band help me out, 'bout to put some whup on it!
(whenever you're ready)
ready! ya ready?
(whenever you're ready)
you're ready!
(whenever you're...)
I will be there!
(whenever, whenever you're...)
whenever you're ready!

My Mom the Realtor
05:28
|
|||
When my Mom the realtor
sees a new Ivory Homes development
because she’s hard-workin’
she sees a market opportunity
she sees money.
When her son the anarchist
beholds the prefab robot turds shat out of some Southern California factory hole,
growing for growths sake, looking like a big mistake,
he sees cancer!
But what I’m trying to say is,
Is I love my Mother anyways
I love my Mother anyways
and she loves me, anyways!
My Mom the realtor used to smoke dope and wear tie-dye
her son the anarchist remembers being 4 years old and marching with her
in the streets of Berkeley in the 80‘s.
Now as we ride in her Lexus SUV to Costco
you can bet I still keep a place reserved for her in the revolution anyways!
(Chorus)
Now she’d do anything for me - anything!
except...for stop spraying her lawn!
And I’d do anything for her - anything!
except...for maybe, get a job!
Her generation birthed us
and now they’re trying to kill us all!
They worked real hard to raise us
now work hard to melt our glaciers
invested in our swim lessons
and guaranteeing now we’ll have to test ‘em
anyways!
But either way the thing is, is I love my mother anyways
and when I’m treading water through my city
I’ll know that she loves me anyways!
My mom puts me first,
she’s the only person on this earth,
who does that.
While I chant “Earth First!”
she still puts me first anyways!
I guess I’m her political cause
along with my sister and brother-in-law and their two kids
(she loves being a grandma)
along with staying married to my pa
for so long it’s a miracle
for all that I got to say to y’all
that though you know I love The Cause
my Ma comes befa’
every cause and all a y’all
cause that’s the way I love my Ma
that’s the way I love my Ma anyways!
And if you gotta ma like my Mom,
go ahead and sing along!
And sing it however the hell you want
cause in the end I’m still the anarchist son anyways!
And what we’re trying to say is
is we love our mothers most of all!
We love our mothers most of all,
and they love us most of all!
(and I love you most of all too Pa)

The Walking People

Good morning!
Let's get up - put on your boots, on your feet,
we're gettin' out into the streets,
and we're on our way!
The walking people, walk!
Can you see us while we're walkin'
we're stretching back 100 blocks - sayin:
"Si se puede!" now we're talkin'
we're on our way!
The walking people, walk!
Look! A border wall gets in our way,
police checkpoints and barricades,
"aren't you gonna stop!?" some people say,
but we just smile 'cause
the walking people, walk!
let's go!
we're dancing with the trunks of trees,
we're grounding our philosophies,
finding truth that only feet can see,
when they're out walking,
with one foot behind us and one ahead,
who's the leader? who's the led?
freedom's ours in every breath now,
and every step! (singing)
Blessed are the ones who walk
Blessed are the ways we walk
Now everybody!
Every kind of body!
Any way you move is praise!
Any way you move is walking!
Stand up friends
(let's walk together)
on our common ground
(let's walk together)
we all love our kids
(let's walk together)
keep 'em safe and fed
(let's walk together)
we're all born helpless
(let's walk together)
we all need love
(let's walk together)
we all need justice
(let's walk together)
we all need choice
(let's walk together)
we all need music
(let's walk together)
we all need consent
(let's walk together)
clean air and water
(let's walk together)
we need each other
(let's walk together)
we're all sisters/ brothers
(let's walk together)
we're all born from mothers
(let's walk together)
every woman every man every one inbetween,
every one who's beyond - let's get goin'!
PEOPLE!
WALK!
Alright!
Whup!
Alright!
The walking people!

I've got a head full of dreams that I redeem as my reward,
and my reflection beams in every direction,
and though sometimes it seems there's only one you can record,
there are multicolored streams of many dimensions
and whatever happens next, I hope I will know how by now,
and I hope I will know where when there's nowhere but here!
'Cause I learn from what I live,
and I live for what I love,
and I love the life
I've learned to live!
and I give and I get,
and I get and I give,
and I love the life
I've learned to live!
Whup!
Even at the height of my crest I need some rest I suppose,
when I take my last breath, death'll be my best repose,
whatever happens next, I hope I will know how by now,
and I hope I will know where when there's nowhere but here!
'Cause I learn from what I live,
and I live for what I love,
and I love the life
I've learned to live!
and I give and I get,
and I get and I give,
and I love the life
I've learned to live!
Whup!
Salam-a-lay, ma-lay,
Salam-a-lay, malecun sala
(ay esta!)
there's a party out in the streets!
(ay esta!)
so damn purdy, don't call police!
(ay esta!)
this is your part you can sing it with me - come on!
(oooh ay esta!)
weather alert in these area codes:
(ay esta!)
4-1-5, 5-1-0!
(ay esta!)
wild dancing flooding the roads!
(oooh ay esta!)
everybody's moving in time!
(ay esta!)
every age, every kind!
(ay esta!)
Waist Down Demolition Drumline hit 'em!
Moving at the speed of light...
repeat 'til we get it right...
and if there's nowhere but here I'll know how by now,
as I figure it out
[announcer: "welcome to the ecotopian independence day fireworks extravaganza!"]
Fare thee well,
to my shell,
for I've become,
something else!
And if there's nowhere but here I'll know how by now,
as I figure it out
