Stupid Questions
By White Trash Folk
There was a man lived on my road, cancer was eating at his throat
And his insides and he lived in pain each day and every night
Hospice made him comfortable for a few months then disposable
He became just because he wouldn’t die on time
So they took his 02 machine, and pain meds, and said goodbye
If we lived in Great Britain, or Canada, or Sweden
Universal health care would take care (Of him)
But we live in the good ol’ US of A
Where you don’t get to live if you can’t pay
It’s survival of the richest and their heirs
Should having good health be a human right?
Should we all pay to help our neighbors fight for their lives?
In the face of logic, tragedy and crimes…
How are these still questions in our times?
How are these still questions in our times?
My friend Heather wanted the right to influence her health and life
And to choose whether or not to create on, and at what time
She got pregnant anyway her Doctor said, “If you carry all the way
To term, it’s certain you or the child will die,”
“But doing anything to save you is illegal,” he sighed.
If she lived in Belgium, or Tunisia, or Sweden
A woman’s choice would find her still walking this Earth But
Rich white men all have a book whose words’ foundation won’t be shook
So both Heather and her baby died while she gave birth
When it comes to their body and life, should women have a voice?
Should powerful men get to stand between every female and her choice?
In the face of logic, tragedy, and crimes…
How are these still questions in our times?
HOW are these still questions in our times?

White Trash Folk: Alone
The chair it squeaks in protest
Saying “I’ll move for no man”
And the dust that’s settled on surfaces adds
“Hey I’m good where I am”
Peering out into the twilight
The window lets go of a sigh
Feeling its age and cracking its neck
The faucet feels ready to cry
And they’re all alone, They’re all alone
This house ain’t no home, when they’re all alone
Yeah they’re all alone
Magazines piled in tribute
To a childhood left out in the rain
All muddied and tracked with yesterday’s prints
Dried into forgettable stains
And they’re all alone
Nick-nacks and paddy-whacks and dog bones
And other cluttered forget-me-nots
In the back room are congregating in mourning
Past air balls and missed big shots
Saying this house ain’t no home
And we’re all alone
Another failed intervention
By the shirts hanging over the door
Leads to a blood orgy of wrinkled old fragments
Of closet spilled out on the floor
‘Cause he just can’t take it no more
And he’s all alone
Photograph albums turned yellow
A tomb of a tome of regret
For his mother, his father, his sons and his daughters
It shoots a look he’ll not forget
From the pages all snotty and wet
Sobbing we’re all alone, we’re all alone
This house ain’t no home, when we’re all alone
We’re all alone
Yeah, we’re all alone

White Trash Folk: A Stream of Consciousness is Always Better Than a Death Wish (And Lengthy Song Titles Are Overrated)
A wise chick once told me, “it’s Futile to search for the
Logic in illogical People and their words” and I
Thought how profound yet so Simple a statement to not
Dawn on a punk like me in the Depths of debasement it was
Around that time I bought my First decent six string and
I named him Johnny for the Memories that he brings and
Even to this day I don’t Really write our songs I just
Let him do his thing and I try to sing along about
Nothing but the random ass Thoughts in my head because
Free association beats Wanting to be dead but for now
I’ll keep my thoughts between my Notebook and the moonlight good
Thing it’s full tonight or I Couldn’t see to write the
Note that I taped with a Ramshackle Glory sticker to your door it said
“Thanks for the good times but you Won’t see me no more. I’ll be
Vacant and vagrant and Fragrant and all-knowing and I’ll
Miss and remember you but don’t Follow where I’m going.” So I’ll
Leave the wrong address and a Fake telephone number and sign
“If you want to find me, you just Have to look under the
Obituaries or the Work wanted adds in some
Small town news paper in a Made-up, distant land where
People aren’t valued by the Size of their bank rolls and
You can cross bridges without Paying unfair tolls and
Nobody cares if your Black or republican or
Gay, straight, transsexual, Jew, Atheist or Christian and
Laws aren’t created to strip People of their rights & words like
Science and opinion don’t Cause stupid fights and the only
Governing bodies are Benevolent organizations and
Children aren’t robbed daily Of their imaginations.” Knowing
Me I’ll spend all my time Under a lamp post
Screaming out ballads of Yesterday’s ghosts and how I
Wish I was back there with All of my friends I
Always wanted to get out now I Feel sucked back into my
Days when I thought I had All the solutions and a
Purpose and a goal: Global revolution! Then
Apathy struck and I Lost motivation for
Fighting and failure and Winning and celebration of the
Things that I stood for the Things I believed before
My tree of knowledge Shook off all its leaves and so I
Cried for seven days and I Wept seven nights then I
Got up and locked all the doors and Killed all the lights & even
Though I didn’t make my bed I still Had to lie in it
Dreaming of some way that I could begin it all
Over again so I could Rewrite my dumb luck instead I
Pulled a Rip Van Winkle and I Never, no I never woke up

Barbara
By Jugglin’ Bunnies
They're coming to get you barbara
Don't look but here comes one now
Oh Ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba-ba-bara Anne,
I know We'll get out somehow
From the Dawn of the Evil Dead Alive
To the Fright Night of the Living Dead we'll survive
‘Cause Damnit, Janette, I love you
I know That's not your name, but we'll get through
Oh ba-ba ba-ba ba-Barbara
Ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba ba-Barbara
They're coming to get you Barbara
The news man on the TV said
That we better go see our loved ones
'Cause pretty soon they will all be dead
Reanimated corpses or remains
Slowly chasing after our big ol' tasty brains
I'll gladly do what you want me to
'Cause in the end I've just gotta run faster than you
Oh my ba-ba ba-ba ba-Barbara
Ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba ba-Barbara
Beep beep bop bo
Ba-ba ba-ba ba-Barbara
Ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba ba-Barbara
I'll miss you

Battle Hymn of the Undead
By Jugglin’ Bunnies
My eyes have seen the horror
Of the zombie holocaust
We fought and prayed to save our lives
That in the end were lost
We barred our doors against the hoards
And Still our world was tossed
The undead marches on
Zombie, zombie, hallelujah
Zombie, zombie, hallelujah
Zombie, zombie, hallelujah
The undead marches on
Tell your kids, your folks and friends
And parents your goodbyes
Give your love and say that they are
Everything in your eyes
For in short time you're sure to find
That everybody dies
And the undead marches on
Zombie, zombie, hallelujah
Zombie, zombie, hallelujah
Zombie, zombie, hallelujah
The undead marches on
Survivors fled from the undead
They'd run and hide and fight
The sickness spread and blood was shed
All morning and all night
Til one remained in all his pain
To find no soul in sight
The survivor marches on
Zombie, zombie, hallelujah
Zombie, zombie, hallelujah
Zombie, zombie, hallelujah
The survivor marches on
