Danger Town 03:55
Forever fight for peace... war at home... In silence you may speak... 'bout war at home... And air contagions breed... war at home... And you won't know... but you'll fight the war at home. Everywhere you go... you hear the dogs... It's all the rage on the Internet blogs... And no relief soon to be found... Breathe the toxic fog of your Danger Town. Punks and freaks embrace... war at home... And Mom and Dad belie... war at home... And crafty media oozes toward... war at home... But the children shout revolution... waging war at home. Everywhere you go... you hear the dogs... It's all the rage on the Internet blogs... And no relief soon to be found... Breathe the toxic fog of your Danger Town. A new contempt pervades in business class... And religious militia enforce their holy will... With luck they'll crown their pious king... And crush the people's will to flock... The tanks are in the street... The troops around the dome... A creeping coup de tat. The sides no longer hear... war at home... And rancor can endear... war at home... And bileful hasty claims... war at home... And angry shouts... cannot douse the war at home. Everywhere you go... you hear the dogs... It's all the rage on the Internet blogs... And no relief soon to be found... Breathe the toxic fog of your Danger Town.

Cut it Away 04:35
Why do we follow so far... And claim his victims here? And how can he.... wild and loose... Exploit the wave of fear? By enemies... the sacred fight... He'll wash the land in blood... And claim to see... destiny... A cleansing crimson flood... Decry vengeance for vengeance's sake... Then covet the golden crown... And stoke the fire... prepare the pyre... To burn the witches down. We stand... we fall... We fight... the trouble through it all... With clear sight... and cold steel... We break the spell and cut it away. Why do we follow so far... And pay for worn out cloths? And how can she... straight in the face... Strike compassion's pose? By enemies... equal rights... She'll wash the square in shame... And claim to see... no destiny... But what's been made today... Deny vengeance for vengeance's sake... Then covet the golden crown... And stoke the fire... and prepare the pyre... To burn the rapists down. We stand... we fall... We fight... the trouble through it all... With clear sight... and cold steel... We break the spell and cut it away. How can we know the truth... When all is relative? How can we know enough... When nothing is enough? What can quench the smoldering heat... That must evolve to flame? We cannot give to impulse lest... WE ALL GO TOGETHER WHEN WE GO!!!! We stand... we fall... We fight... the trouble through it all... With clear sight... and cold steel... We break the spell and cut it away.

Abandon your solemn post... Point your crooked fingers east... See the morph respect => contempt... Feeding lives to the beast... And corporations rule... turning fear into gold... Atrocity becomes the norm... Then we realize we've been sold. Questions after profit... Questions after profit... Questions after profit again! She's got a bee in her bonnet... A dose of apocalypse... A bee in her bonnet again. She don't see the dance... The multi-faced political game... Jingo propaganda always cuts in many ways... A Satan great... an evildoer... All depends on where you stand... It's a path... a destination... Cooler heads must command. Sing the gospel truth... Sing the gospel truth... Sing the gospel truth again! She's got a bee in her bonnet... A dose of apocalypse... A bee in her bonnet again. And yes... they hate... But not abstractions (freedom, liberty)... They hate people mindin' their business... Keepin' them down... and killin' their kids! She's got no patience for other... Riders on her commute... The slow... the lost... the sick... the old... Or just takin' in the view... Humility and common sense... Out the window when she drives... Angry aggression... she won't wait... She's just tryin' to survive. Not enough time... Not enough time... Not enough time again! She's got a bee in her bonnet... A dose of apocalypse... A bee in her bonnet again.

Uncle Zadie 04:09
Zadie's on his way... Found his voice and holding evil sway... Straight up with a yell... the desert highway... Zadie's on his way. Woe... Zadie sings... To those who deceive... Cast up... gather out the stones... Hold the standard high... Spread the news cross every hungry ear... Zadie's on his way. Zadie's here today... And out to lunch... his enemies say... But Zadie's not deterred... Sets his face like flint... Zadie's here today... Cut down the right... But still, they're hungry... So why not grind down the left... Still not satisfied... So they meet meet with fiery fate... Dawn the judgment day... hey hey! Wonder why we can't just... Gather good folk together and testify... Speak the truth to power? People like faded roses... Withered from the breath of god... One day bloom again... Cos all will beat swords and spears into their plows... Going back not is allowed... sheep and werewolf... Eating tofu chop together... brotherhood... For walls and gates... Zadie's on his way... hey! Zadie's here to stay... Forever

Unhinged 03:46
Well music is my religion... but i like what Mohammed said... He said the best Jihad is the one for yourself... Gotta conquer your nappy head... And Allah doesn't care about your threads or your smile... More about your heart and the things that you do... So don't go stuffing yourself... While your neighbors got nothing to chew. No one is born more deserving than another right out of the womb... So... conduct yourself like you were here to stay... Prepare for death like it were coming today... I like what Mohammed said BUT I COME UNHINGED WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE EVIL DONE IN HIS NAME!!!! THE RISE ON INTERNATIONAL TERROR… THE FANNING HATRED'S FLAME... AND MONEY CHANGERS IN UNSTABLE LANDS... MAKE PROFIT LIKE NEVER BEFORE... FOR THEM... THESE ARE THE BEST OF TIMES / THRIVE ON PERPETUAL WAR! Well music is my religion, but i like what Jesus said... He said... blessed are those that make the peace... To heaven they will be lead... And the kingdom of God is right here and now... All you got to do is open your eyes... You can break through the troubles of your day to day... Use the mind of a child... Your faith in God can heal you... Forgiveness will set you free... So... love your enemy like yourself... and live a right noble life... Money can't buy happiness... like what Jesus said. BUT I COME UNHINGED WHEN I THINK ABOUT... THE FOLLY DONE IN HIS NAME!!! THE ARROGANT AMERICAN POWER… THE FANNING OF HATRED'S FLAME... AND MONEY CHANGERS AT THE PENTAGON... MAKE PROFIT LIKE NEVER BEFORE... FOR THEM... THESE ARE THE BEST OF TIMES... THRIVE ON PERPETUAL WAR! Why is it always us -vs- them? Why can't we find common ground? When will this trend of trouble end? Just listen to the sound... Well music is my religion... but i like what Prescott said... He said the sooner technology connects the world... The sooner prosperity spreads... And tax cuts are a real good thing... they provide incentive to work... And the more people works... they more they enjoy the perks... A golden age for economists... predicting the ebb and flow... The bottom line of prosperity... a stable policy will set them free... I like what Prescott said. BUT I COME UNHINGED WHEN I THINK ABOUT... THE POWER IN THE DOLLAR'S NAME!!! THE ENSLAVEMENT OF THE COMMON MAN… THE FANNING OF TYRANNY'S FLAME... AND MONEY CHANGERS AT THE FED... MAKE PROFIT LIKE NEVER BEFORE... FOR THEM THESE ARE THE BEST OF TIMES... THRIVE ON PERPETUAL WAR! Well here's what i think... 'bout power in $$ name... The enslavement of the common man... The fanning of tyranny's flame... And money changers at The Fed... Make profit like never before... For them these are the best of times... THRIVE on perpetual WAR!

I don't understand how a Hummer so grand... Answers really simple questions of life... LOOK...! Mommy's on the cellphone... Paintin' her face to the rhythm of the traffic lights... In the manicured parkways of suburban anytown... Hummer's tires'll never touch the dirt... Never a tow... never a scratch... For speedbumps always alert... Hummer insures Mommy's life... But she'll need post-accident trauma relief... Chipped her nail... spilled her mocha... All mangled up in grief Don't cry for me... The dregs of your social tree... I'll be alright... and sleep with the stars tonight. It seems to be... Many shopping sprees... Seem ridiculous even to me... You've been there before... The rich or the poor... Blind irrationality. In a culture where success... Worships the bling that you've got in the bank... From the day that we're born... we're taught to conform... The poison Kool-Aid we've all had a drank... What you do... is who you are... Doc... lawyer... cop... teacher of kids... The tender of a bar. But the bling is where it's at... And the toys that you buy show the world... All to see... you're a success... no need to confess... It's all in your confident beam... but I said... Don't cry for me... The dregs of your social tree... I'll be alright... and sleep with the stars tonight. I'm lucky to live in the USA... A wonderful land of plenty... It allows me to reach the higher levels of need... Doctor Phil... I DON'T NEED ANY! When I'm on my feet... in the middle of the day... Watchin' Hummers speedin' by... I quietly wonder if Brittany and Brad... See the strength they've got inside... Now... the salesmen have their eyes on us... Do you know what they've found? That perception... is reality... And they're playin' us all for clowns... Buy this toothpaste... drink this beer... It defines who you are... Just GIVE US ALL YOUR MONEY! And we'll make you a silicone star... but I said... Don't cry for me... The dregs of your social tree... I'll be alright... and sleep with the stars tonight.

Dog 03:20
Lately i've been very... very busy... Taking refuge in the shroud of night... In the light of day i work the shadows... But i'll emerge when the whip comes down... Lately i'm content to hunker down... Patient ... quiet mountain waiting... watching you... but soon the waiting will be over... And you'll see the light when the whip comes down. When the whip comes down... Your karma will burn you down... From head down to every toe... When the whip comes down... You don't want to be around... Cos my dog is bigger than yours A rumor here... some innuendo there... Keep the pressure on... don't even let me breathe... Stay on your message... keep it simple... You better run... boy... when the whip comes down. The time is right for a fresh start... But miles to go before we finally sleep... And i'll be joined by the millions... And your hide will burn... When the whip comes down. When the whip comes down... Our heroes will make us proud... From hell down to every shore... When the whip comes down... You don't want to be around... Cos my dog is bigger than yours. When the whip comes down... No mercy will be found... time... now... For #alloutwar... When the whip comers down... You don't want to be around cos my dog's bigger... My dog is bigger... :-/ MY DOG... IS BIGGER THAN YOURS!

A man of awesome gravity... Commanding modern levity... (soulda coulda woulda) Leverage vice and base desire... Glamour... sex... the faithful choir... (soulda coulda woulda) The river quenched Eden's bed... Now as the river flowed... (soulda coulda woulda) So went Babylon's people... A fate we oughta know... (soulda coulda woulda) Of all the forms of currency... He chose to chase the gold... (soulda coulda woulda) He coulda chosen good will coins... His blood will now run cold... (soulda coulda woulda) STAYED ON THE LINKS!

about

The "dog" tore from its leash, out of Rohlfie's control, fall 2005. At the time, there was so much anger in the media... so much unbridled hatred between fellow citizens. Rohlfie felt this was, in some way, incited or even encouraged by the shameless demagoguery practiced on 24hr cable-news and talk-radio networks. The dog is Rohlfie's response to all of that negative energy.

Toward the end of the recording, mixing and mastering process he was ready for it to be over. He hasn't produced a record since... or should we say... yet.

Woof!
