'Den of Thieves'

You learned well at your daddy's knee
Nothin's ever what it seems
You're gonna take while the takin's good
Wreckin' lives and stealin' dreams

CHORUS:
You don't want to lend a helping hand
You want to bring us all to our knees
Don't talk to me about 'honor and dignity'
You took my country, turned it into a den of thieves

Anger makes me want to scream and shout
When I look at all the harm you've done
Freedom comes to those who pay
Justice comes from the barrel of a gun
Youth of america, half a world away
Flown away on the wings of a lie
You sit and laugh as the money rolls in
And out in that desert, people die
(Chorus)

-as

3. That's me - under the name 'American Stranger,' natch.
Symbolman was making fun of me last night for sitting in a room and singing to my dog and cat. :)

I'm working on a whole CD - got 2 songs done so far.

Malloy, Meria Heller, and BartCop have all used that one on their shows in the past.

6. oh yeah
Though it sounds like a different mix.

I'm constantly amazed at the amount and the quality of anti-war, anti-Bush music out there. I've burned 12 full discs and still finding great stuff. Outrage can fuel some inspired art.

7. That's the first mix I did of it.
Malloy wanted a mix with the word 'shithole' bleeped out, and that's the one that's been out there. I have about 6 different mixes of that song, and I'm not crazy about any of them. I oughta just re-record it now that I've upgraded the studio.
