Some People

Some people don't have ill will
But they're ill in their minds
Some people don't mean well
And that's just how they are wired

Some people can't be trusted
Because they can't trust themselves
Some people can't be helped
If you try, they'll drag you straight to hell

But you think you can reach them
You believe they're just like you
Just in need of understanding
"All anyone ever needs is love"

And you believe you can save them
Relate to what they've been through
You extend an open hand and
Draw right back a bleeding stump

Some people just won't listen
No matter how good the advice
And some people are always schemin'
They'll make you a mark if you're nice

Some people can't care about you
'Cause they can't care for themselves
And some people are broken inside
So they buy what the charlatan sells

But you think you can reach them
You believe they're just like you
Just in need of understanding
"All anyone ever needs is love"

And you believe you can save them
Relate to what they've been through
You extend your last good hand and
Draw right back another stump

Some people never learn
Never learn, never learn
Some people never learn
Never learn, never learn

Some people, man...

What Matters Most

Can you believe what the fascists did today?

I'll have you know just where I stand

The facts aren't in but I've got something to say

No matter what we learn, I pledge to be on brand

I need you to know how much I care

I hope you know that I am aware

What matters most is what is in my heart

So just know how much I care

Can you believe the horrors in the world today?

I'll have you know it's time to act

Details are murky but I've got the names to shame

If I get it wrong, I can just retract

I need you to see the flag I wave

I hope you know who I want to save

What matters most is what is in my heart

So please notice the flag I wave

Do you see - how much I care?

Please tell me - you know I care

We need you to know how much we care

We hope you know we see you over there

What matters most is what is in our hearts

So let it be known how much we care

God Was Never On Your Side (originally by Motörhead)

If the stars fall down on me
And the sun refuse to shine
Then may the shackles be undone
May all the old words cease to rhyme

If the sky turn into stone
It will matter not at all
For there is no Heaven in the sky
Hell does not wait for our downfall

Let the voice of reason chime
Let the pious vanish for all time
God's face is hidden, all unseen
You can't ask Him what it all means

He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Let right or wrong alone decide
God was never on your side

See ten thousand ministries
See the holy, righteous dogs
They claim to heal, but all they do is steal
Abuse your faith, cheat and rob

If God is wise, why is He still
When these false prophets call Him friend?
Why is He silent, is He blind?
Are we abandoned in the end?

Let the sword of reason shine
Let us be free of prayer and shrine
God's face is hidden, turned away
He never has a [fucking] word to say

He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Let right or wrong alone decide
God was never on your side

(No, no, no)

He was never on your side
God was never on your side
Never, never, never, never
Never on your side, never on your side

God was never on your side
Never on your side

You Better Win

Through the morning glare, you came gliding in
Seasons to take aim, an instant to then miss
You thought I'd go down quickly?
That's not the way of men
You might not see me strike
But you'll know who it is

Did you doubt me, brother
'Bout the mess that you're now in?
If you don't end it all
Then you'll wish you did

Yeah, you know the rules, so let's not pretend
A drop of blood won't always cause
A chain reaction
We both know the evil that lurks in hearts of men
Now, brace yourself for a pain you can't imagine

They didn't warn you, brother
Of the mess that you'd be in?
If you're gonna start a war
Then you better win

The world, it spins
It spins for revenge
The world, it spins
It spins for revenge

The world will end
Will end for revenge
The world will end
Will end for revenge

It's not if...
It's not if but when
And until then
You better win

Yeah, you better win
Or I'll make you wish you did
