On Your Side
(A. Schein, A. Jost)

Don’t you worry about the time
Don’t you hurry as we try
to push the river but you die
cause I’m always here on your side
I’m always here

We speak in speech
reside in mind
And what said do you make true?
Why hold truth better than children?
Fight back supple minds
Break backs
This is a station break beat counter attack
A liquor store hold-up of soul out cash in
But still I breath out
look up stream
I see seams breaking
weakening
busting at the gut
the old model failing
this is what owning
what cannot be owned
smells like
look right / same fight
T.V last night
same play / same stage
same skeet / new week
change channels / same creeps
figure heads embedded
in the same News Speak

But what game are you playing?
And with what evil are you laying?



Cause baby
don’t you worry about the time
don’t you hurry as we try
to push the river and you die
but I’m always here on your side
I’m always here
on your side
open your eyes

I am the sword
they are the noose
letting you dangle
as I cut you loose

from the time
as we rewind
counterclockwise

I am the sword
they are the noose
I am the sword
they are the noose
electric chess
the levee is loose
the president pupated
by a Dick in a suit.
We must speak and read
know history
Counter Clockwise Culture
Masters of subtlety
see when we say
SLEEP
now y’all are the sheep
internet your neck
and Google™ your teeth
and all I’m saying is
this gold is fools
just like first they called them Race Records
then Rhythm and Blues
know the game
study the rules
don’t push the river
let the river come to you

cause baby
don’t you worry about the time
don’t you hurry as we try
to push the river and you die
but I’m always here on your side
I’m always here
on your side
