    100,000,000 people and going strong
    a wave of attraction
    Worldwide and in every little town and hamlet
    We are known

    Wherever rivers flow
    Emitting sounds
    The Siren's cry and the Dragon's wail
    Forged from steel deep within the earth's crust

    Trekking far and wide
    Opening doors and tearing down walls
    From back alleys to concert halls
    Everyone's welcome

    Bring a pint of whiskey
    Bring your troubled heart
    Feel electricity pulse through your veins
    Gallop at a full clip like a cheetah

    As your heart races
    You fear it may be too much to bare
    Yet you are indestructible
    You are a gladiator from ancient Rome
    Long live Maximo

    Long may you stain the memory of man
    And make him praise your name
    You died by a traitor's knife
    But you conquered the many

    And as the sea of human bodies sways too and fro
    The lights flicker through the evening mist
    On this night
    At this moment
    We are free

    Free from the tyranny of evil men
    Free from what lies beneath
    Free from the shadows that lurk in our minds
    Free from the beast

    spiritual beings in physical bodies


    Bombs would be bursting
    Dread locks unfurled
    Gorilla warfare with Cuban cigars and berets
    And I never really liked cake

    Neat little rows of houses
    Passing time by wasting it
    Never went outside my door
    And I hate the smell of thrift stores
    They smell like dead people's stuff

    Simple Simon relax and let go
    Handle the small things
    Work your way up
    Back off when it gets boring

    I walk and I wag it
    It slaps on both sides
    It gets hard when your near me
    That was fun let's do it again

    And the sum total of man's feeble efforts
    Will crumble and fall
    Like the nose on the Sphynx
    Some retarded Jackass will steal it and pawn it for a fix

    But when I run
    It's like I'm a thoroughbred quarter horse
    Stretching my legs
    With the music blasting
    My butt will get tight
    You'll see

    And everything is on sale at Walmart
    We are being outsourced and watered down
    From the board room to the ball room
    From sea to shining sea
    That bright and shiny stars and stripes

    Has been stolen
    That ideal of equality was hijacked
    Since the heros of the republic were gunned down
    JFK and Martin Luther King
    We were born into slavery
    Slavery of thought
    Slavery of poverty

    Lost was our freedom of joy and brotherhood
    Lost was our community spirit
    Lost was the trust we had in our neighbor
    Lost was our faith in the good of our fellow man
    Lost was the easy chair on the porch
    Lost was slumber parties

    After the "Our Fathers" I turned to my neighbors
    And nobody would shake my hand
    Or even give me an acknowledging half smile
    Instead they are just heeding the warning of the times
    Never talk to strangers
    Never smile at someone you don't know

    Especially if it's a guy
    He must just want something from you
    And I'm not afraid you won't like this
    You don't like anything that you don't understand
    You can't understand why anyone would be different than you

    But
