Lyrical Snippets:

[What went wrong]
We all believed in the fairy tales
How the meek they shall inherit the earth
Brush your teeth and say your prayers
Donât question what it's really worth

[Shao-lin style]
poetry wonât buy you food
minivans will spoil the mood
democracy canât make you free
free the way youâre supposed to be

[Funbar]
Pure fun lies precisely between death and jail
It's not weak and frail
it's abrupt like a slap in the face

[Yuppies and swine]
The man wants to put me in pictures
The man wants to make me a star
Iâm gonna shake my fat ass Iâm gonna play my guitar
I came for the fame you see I came for the money
Big breasted blondes the milk and the honey

[Ejido]
Remember Playas Bonitas
warm sand beneath us
I wont forget the things you told me there
