Blood Money

And I will watch you starve while I gorge myself all day.
I'll take what I don't eat and I'll throw it all away.
And while you look on in disgust, I'll say you should have spoken up.
You, you aren't trying hard enough.
And I will slit your throat, but I won't let you bleed.
Then I'll laugh as you choke and struggle just to breathe.
Then I will break your back and I will break your pride,
But I, wont ever let you die.
I said I wont ever let you die.
Because a pulse equals a profit,
And blood gets money made.
You've got no time to think,
When you're waiting to get paid.
You've got a loan on freedom,
Your life is an interest.
Unless you plan to work forever,
You'll never pay us back.
And I'll have you clear the land for you to work and thrive,
Then I will take your home, your children, and your wife.
I'll take everything you love, and I'll sell it on the street.
Don't you know that you belong to me?
Dont you know that you belong to me.
Because a pulse equals a profit,
And blood gets money made.
You've got no time to think,
When you're waiting to get paid.
You've got a loan on freedom,
Your life is an interest.
Unless you plan to work forever,
You'll never pay us back.
Woo!

You Make Me Feel...

You make me feel emotional,
But not emotional enough to tell you that I love you.
Every fire that I light,
Helps me feel alright,
But at the end of the day,
It seems I forgot what I want to say
Im afraid that what I say doesnt matter or mean a thing
Because when I finally go to speak it seems that i can only sing
About the misery I find in every tired bloodshot eye
I pass by on the corner and quietly leave behind
And it makes me think
It makes me question everything
And everyone claims innocence
They take no part in this
They play along
They're hanging on until they're gone
You make me want to shoot up the town
But I'll never lock and load
Even if your god allowed
Because you look just like i do
And you make the same excuses
Even though you try to prove it
And i think it's fucking useless.
But one of these days
I'm going to stop talking
I'll put down my guitar
And I'll teach the world to walk again
I'll take these six dirty strings
I'll tie them into tangled limbs
When the world tries to throw us around
These four chords can help to slow us down

Secret Base Life Southampton, Pennsylvania
Secret Base Life is the music of Dale Nicklas III.
With a driving, relentless acoustic
guitar and sardonic lyrics that shine the light on the human condition, Secret Base Life's music insists you listen and then you can't help but think.
A guitar style like the Clash, lyrics like a dystopian Dylan, and a vocal delivery of Zappa at his best SBL will make clear the world that surrounds you.
