The News
Verse
Take me back
To my home
I’m on my own
In the great unknown
I still find gold
In the sun
Truth be told
I’m the lucky one
Chorus
So take your news
Take your bad news away
Take your news
Take your bad news away
Verse
I love the sound
Of the night
I got peace of mind
In the dark
I still find joy
Day by day
In things I do
In words I say
Chorus
So take your news
Take your bad news away
Take your news
Take your bad news away
Verse
The headlines shout
The TV cries
Bad news sells
And the good news dies
Simple things
Keep the world at bay
So words you say
Don't hurt me
Chorus
Take your news
Take your bad news away
Take your news
Take your bad news away

Bury the Devil
Chorus
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Put the devil in it
Put the devil in it
Verse
There was a mighty poet
Who had a love for the devine
He went by Hafiz he lived for peace
Open up your mind to the words he left behind
He was a gift to mankind if you look into the rhyme
Where bombs hit the kids
And the kids get guns
And the mother’s cry
And the cities die
And the flags fly high
By the target on the tongue
Of a pilot on a run for God
Chorus
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Put the devil in it
Put the devil in it
Verse
In a big town tiny town
Someday soon
The man in the moon
Gonna go and get the goon
That deals drugs to the fools
That sell it in the schools
Kids tap into a vein to forget the pain
They feel good till blame takes aim and the shame
Will make their soul crave to dig their own grave
And the mother’s cry and the city’s die
There’s a war outside and a war inside
Protect them
Can I get an amen
Chorus
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Put the devil in it
Put the devil in it
Verse
From the East to the West
It’s all about the money
It ain’t about God
If it’s all about the honey
Sing the songs unsung
For the old and the young
Protect them
Can I get an amen
Chorus
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Put the devil in it
Put the devil in it

The river is rising
The well is running dry
The river is rising
The well is running dry
You brought the mountain to you
Now that mountain you must climb
Trouble oh trouble
Is on your mind

You reached for the spirits
You’re tangled in their vines
You reached for the spirits
You’re tangled in their vines
You brought the mountain to you
Now that mountain you must climb
Trouble oh trouble
Is on your mind

With mercy and courage
You’ll make it through hard times
With mercy and courage
You’ll make it through hard times
You brought the mountain to you
Now that mountain you must climb
Trouble oh trouble
Is on your mind

The river is rising
The well is running dry

The well is running dry
You brought the mountain to you
Now that mountain you must climb
Trouble oh trouble
Is on your mind

Call You To the Carpet
Chorus
I’m gonna call you to the carpet and sweep up all your lies
I’m gonna call you to the carpet and sweep up all your lies
I’ll hang you upside down till the truth rolls out your eyes
Verse
Karma’s gonna catch you
Take you to the dungeon
Bring the dragon to you
Turn the heat on high
Flames are gonna lick you
Smoke is gonna choke you
When they ask about you
Gonna say you fried
Verse
You can try and hide it
Go on and deny it
I’m gonna lose my pride
If I let you slide
When I find out
All your secrets
The truth is gonna ring
Up above the harvest
Gonna come the reckoning
Chorus
I’m gonna call you to the carpet and sweep up all your lies
I’m gonna call you to the carpet and sweep up all your lies
I’ll hang you upside down till the truth rolls out your eyes
Verse
Midnight’s gonna get you
Pull you in the shadows
I’ll take up with the serpents
In your native tongue
Some will call it voodoo
Some will call it freaky
You’ll be honest to me
By the time I’m done
Verse
Gabriel blew a trumpet
Moses parted the sea
But the original sin
We blame on Eve
We blame it on Eve
For the likes of you
I’m gonna call you to the carpet
Till your lies run true
Chorus
I’m gonna call you to the carpet and sweep up all your lies
I’m gonna call you to the carpet and sweep up all your lies
I’ll hang you upside down till the truth rolls out your eyes

The Lowdown
Verse
I’ve been feeling lowdown
Got trouble in surround sound
I’ve got to spin that record ‘round
And get funky with some Motown
Verse
Now I’ve been swimming upstream
I’ve been chasing after my dreams
I went and had my fortune read
She took my hands and shook her head
Chorus
She said
Take your lowdown
Make it uptown
And shake it away
Verse
I got to get out of my own head
Go play some music on the street
Got to jam out on some bucket drums
And stomp and shout on the backbeat
Chorus
She said
Take your lowdown
Make it uptown
And shake it away
Verse
I’ve got to move it like the Jackson Five
Leave my troubles on the flipside
I got to spin that record ‘round
And get funky with some Motown
Chorus
She said
Take your lowdown
Take your lowdown uptown
Take your lowdown
Take your lowdown
Take your lowdown
Make it uptown
And shake it away

Double Shift Tuesday
Verse
It’s double shift Tuesday
On minimum wage
How'd you end up here
I’m reachin’ for the future
Through the wheel in a cage
How'd you end up here
Not about to give in
But I could use a good year
There’s a stranger in the mirror
Starin’ back at me asking
How'd you end up here
Verse
Business is slow
My raise is a no go
My boss is king
He’s the only one who thinks so
Though I live close
To the bone
It takes a payday loan
To keep me in my home
The thought of givin’ up
Is all I really fear
I do battle with the demons
In my head at night asking
How'd you end up here
Solo
Made some mistakes
Yeah that's on me
How'd you end up here
You live and learn
That nothin’s ever free
How'd you end up here
Same ol’ same is all I see
I ended up where
I ain’t meant to be
There’s a stranger in the mirror
Starin’ back at me asking
How'd you end up here
How’d you end up here
