Hello, you big beautiful audience! I'm Grubo with The People's Ensemble ...dreamt my whole life of being up here on this stage to perform for you, so get on the edge of your seats 'cause we're about to have a lot of fun playing a little rock 'n' roll. We got a little pop, we got a little bit of this and that, sugar and salt, so uh...yeah...uh...thanks for coming out! I'd like to save the world From guns and GMO's Wearing a discount shirt I'll read Das Kapital I heard that it's hip Protesting in the streets I've got my cardboard sign Youthful regalia I'm in the picket line 'Till I need a job Liberal Utopia coming to save us all Trotsky to Lenin to Pol Pot to Chairman Mao I don't know just quite what to say I'm not a leftist But I feel the... I just want free stuff! I can't help that i'm uninformed I just know Trump is bad I can't spell "xenophobia" Maybe we could live in a world where people think in groups together Thinking for yourself is hard and protests in the streets look better Sunshine People and flowers and very nice things Sunshine Liberal Utopia saving me I may sound kinda dumb I just want my weed for free And my college degree Basking in the sunshine Down on the campus we're protesting Sunshine Go Bernie Sanders, he'll give us free things I don't really know what he does I know that he's old And the rallies I go to are cool Basking in the sunshine My lune, mid-summer afternoon Dropout, no use in school Go find a job from 9 to 5 Find how hard it is to survive One day you'll see a friend in need And take their cash and flee (vocal melody on peripheral speakers) And there we were Singing songs holding hands Out in the streets With our hip regalia With pickets signs Slavoj Zizek in quotes A hopeless world 'Cause the Whole Foods is closed (center vocal melody) So long, the fun is gone So much for Jacques Lacan I need something to eat Not chic philosophy Goodbye, Jill Stein The revolution is dead

Restoration keeps them respirating Waiting 'till the grave is urgent Double sided page turner Double sided blade murder Worthless words and food for thought Standing in lines and stanzas Get to kicking them when glued inside the mental piece Signing checks and wrecking rentals leased for the season With tendency suspecting treasonous methods and grief and obsession Get to speaking a blessing if just to breathe for a second Leave this ink to dry Love and let it rust Compassionate capital kept in touch with Leftist torches extra sources get to morphing Vanity and morpheus on the brain

today my gramps passed away half past six same direction which my cigarette hang doctor says he slipped and split eleven ribs in his cage so i ain't fucking ducking stomach pains the feeling is strange like time wrinkles though benign wrinkles was filling his face face a spliff and chase with liquor in my live it up ways muttering that in the gutter's where my sentences will stay for several full days i hate the sentiments i never felt until too late

Do we need God for a better world? Efficacy for simplicity? In the complex of desires Of humanity Love, what is love without equality? Without a tenderly placed embrace on the lips A lover's sanity In tandem At random With another Human other Memorandum For the human race, in memoriam In the emporium of dignity and grace We need a better world Detangled and unfurled Of greed, poverty, and hate I love you, humankind I love you, human I

Where did the rhombuses go? In a cool band on the radio Interview after the show Leaving the station and heading home No I, I don't mind Feelin' you're wasting your time You're ineffectual, don't know why Love songs are written in vein Never to hear your voice again No I, I don't mind To find

But I feel it's been a while now We should be wilding out and smiling proud through a childish mouth But my brain in the basement of the same station it came in When this favorite vision strayed from its placement And that's okay with you ain't it I hope your face is still smiling and I don't need a replacement Cope with feelings of being jaded and anxious Till I'm faded and wasted Tasting anguish flavored with how much I've needed you lately "Oh, Oh, Oh, Here we go!"

"Can I be SkyNet?" "Yes!" "Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet!" "Okay, I'm not gonna say 9/11 was an inside job, but..." "But?" "Jet fuel cannot melt through fuckin' steel beams" "You mean Jeb Bush can't melt steel beams" "Jeb Bush can't melt steel beams, ha ha ha."

"Aw, that little boy outside was looking inside the window!" "They don't know..."

I wanna be in monogamy With you in the morning sun You'll keep me warm Safe from the storm And I I'm in love with you All I needed was a friend to treat me kind But you're romantic ways left me inclined To think you'd never wanna be apart But that's okay with me Exclusivity I wanna be in monogamy With you 'till the end of time You will be mine Until we die And I I'm in love with you

Welcome to America! The land of the used and destitute Free markets, shares, and capital implore us Take the oil from the Arabs! Bomb the Syrians! Mexico's next, we've got the troops on stand by We, ordained by God Selling the ultimate fraud Human rights are over rated but we're real friendly Oh my jobs so hard Why do they hate I should have been a bus driver Nique la police nique la police Feeling hot getting hot and hard from riding a shiny blue motorcycle Around cambridge Nique la police absent of merit yup badge swinging terrorist Fronting for their arrest air this laundry from terraces Nique la police over a right to eat and a right to sleep

Industry is bound to history We aim to see a new reality Empathy entwined With all human rights Equity redefined For all human kind

Off the harvard harvested This arsonist is harnessed in with linguistic spit sinister Finishing lit swishers in minutes A slick riddler slips syllables Into this pit of unfillables Skillet in which rhythm is grilling Killing these kids So I'll bump the dutch to the light And let the blunts breathe What speed are you kids playing with? What BPM are you kids playing with? ADHD and MXE can lead to seeing satanist Visions in which a schism's got the world split And you don't know which fucking religion will get you up there And mentioned so I've been ducking and dipping And searching for a secret hideaway I found it in the light of day where my mind can play In circles like a pendulum burning herbal and break out the earl Turn it in a swirl then you're done And the letters run off the page with fine print Sold it for plays need be reminded there's lions Roaring up from the underground speak in silences That sounds like a thunder cloud One hundred ounces in the boxes of legos Sounds like green bricks if you've gotten the memo All my friends spit hotter than the top of a kettle

This is America Oh no Home of the free and brave No hope Goodbye, Blue Skies No reason to buy you
