Being a refugee

Season change mad things rearrange
But it all stays the same like the love doctor strange
I'm tame like the rapper get red like a snapper, when they do that
Got your whole block saying true dat
If only they knew that, it was you who was irregular
Sold your soul for some secular muzac that's whack
Plus you use that, loop, over and over
Claiming that you got a new style, your attempts are futile, oooh child
Your puerile, brain waves are sterile...

And I back this with deuteronomy or leviticus
God made this word, you can't get with this
Sweet like licorice, dangerous like syphillis, yeah...

Cause the whole world's out a order
So at night the feins dance on grease with john travolta
One got slaughtered as he caught blood from his mouth
The other tried to duck and caught a left with my guinness stout
Brother, brother can't you get this through your head
This is a setup by the feds, their scoping us with their infrareds...
--How Many Mics? Fugees

It was me, Jesus Christ and Haile Selassie
Selassie said greetings in the name of the most high,
Jah Rhastafari, Christ, took a sip of the Amaretto,
Passed it down the table said today I'll be betrayed by one you 12 disciples
Give me a clue who could do this to you?
The kid on the block who makes less money than you.
Crooked cops pulled up, they offered him 30 pieces of silver
All he got to do is deliver the savior
Right on Bergen St. from bad luck to good luck
My cup runneth over, pass it down, guzzle up
The time has arrived, the prophecy will manifest
I saw death, I got scared, butterflies on my chest
Father if possible, pass this cup before me,
But it's too late I chose my destiny in Gethsemane.
--Manifest Fugees

Last one turn the lights out, and makes sure everyone is gone

dull as dirt, you can't assert the kind of light
that might persuade a strict dictator to retire
fire the army, teach the poor origami,
the truth is in, the proof is when,
you hear your heart, start asking, "What's my motivation?"
and try as you may,
there isn't a way to explain the kind of change
that would make an Eskimo renounce fur
that would make a vegetarian barbecue hamster
unless you can trace this about-face, to a certain sign...

out of the shaker and onto the plate
it isn't Karmait sure ain't fate
that would make a Deadhead sell his van
that would make a schizophrenic turn in his crayons
Oprah freaks and science seeks a rationale
that shall excuse this strange behavior
when you let it shineyou will inspire
the kind of entire turnaround
that would make a bouncer take ballet(even bouncers who aren't...happy)
but out of the glare with nowhere to turn
you ain't gonna learn it on "What's My Line?" - Shine Newsboys

Hold the milk, put back the sugar
They are powers to console
We've gathered here to sprinkle ashes
From our late friend's cereal bowl.

Breakfast Clubbers, say the motto
That he taught us to repeat: "You will lose it in your gym class if you wait til noon to eat".

Back when the Chess Club, said our eggs were soft
Every Monday he'd say grace and hold our juice aloft
Oh, none of us knew his checkout time would come so soon
But before his brain stopped waving, he composed this tune:

Chorus: When the toast is burned, And all the milk has turned
And cap'n crunch is wavin' farewell.
When the big one finds you, May this song remind you,
That they don't serve breakfast, in hell

Breakfast clubbers, drop the hankies
Though to some our friend was odd, that day he bought those pine pyjamas
His check was good with God
Those here without the lord, How do you cope?
For this morning we don't mourn
Like those who have no hope
Oh rise up, Fruit Loop lovers-Sing out sweet and low
With spoons held high, We bid our brother "Cheerio!" - Breakfast Newsboys

thumbs out on a desert road,
I am told leads to nowhere,
any shade is as good as the next if your shadow doesn't go there,
week seven: Did you really asume,
I'd find some solace from the letter in your room?
next life, could you kindly refain
from throwing yourself at the mercy of a train?

maybe this world is a barren place for a soul prone to get lost,
but heaven still hounds from the smallest sounds to the cries of the storm-tosed,
week nine: I am writing in the sand
any little clue that could help me understand every whispered secret,
every muffled sigh, every half-truth that was added to a lie

every old demon playing back the crime,
if they needed blood, I'd have gladly given mine,
a Child of the Kingdom; still an invalid
forgive her, please Father, she don't know what she did - Elle G. Newsboys




On all of these quote, lyrics, etc. I just gave parts of songs, dialouge, etc. that I found interesting or moving.

I'd sing you Stormy Weather but it's been sung so Let's have some fun

There will never come a day that will ever regret
The hours days years and the minutes
The joy the pain the sunshine and rain in it
The drives on the coast to nowhere
Nothing to say just sit and stare
There's nothing like the comfort of a silence that's comfortable
Not talking small just skip the bull
Then I find myself in servility
Didn't think that was my ability
I go a yard and a mile to make you smile
But then I'm happy see
I got so many ways to make your gaze elliptical
Got a ways to go, future's so Criptical and I'm glad
Just another many things we've had - 8:16 am 311


Don't fear mere words cuz if it takes a word to ruin ya
The shit you've already heard you're finished through and soon ya see
That stifleing sentences is so much more suspicious
Much worse could come of that so much more delicious
To the dastardly bastardly plans of little mice and men
Ugly rears its head and speaks from now and then
People love to disagree so avoid the endless bout make no attempt
To try and suss the stupid out
But of the racist institutions simple minds belong
Not happy being human, no wish to get along
Little people need exclusions sucker groups to throng
It makes them feel special it makes them feel strong...
We won't come after you we'd only end up provin
In the end revenge send ends to the defendant
I know that statement's true
I wear it like a pendant
I know you'll hear this song so I think it's funny - Silver 311

quote it!

"Today's my birthday and I get one every year, and someday I do believe that I'll be very six feet underground" No Doubt

"Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." Jesus, Matthew 7:1-5 NRSV
