CHRISTOPHER FOX, CHORD PROGRESSION, LYRICS, VOCALS, ELECTRIC GUITAR, ELECTRIC BASS. NYLON AND STEEL STRING ACOUSTIC GUITARS, PROGRAMMED DRUMS, SYNTH. -you can never be rich enough, you can always have more. YOU WOULD THINK BY READING THE GOOD BOOK, MAN COULD SEE MAN. WHAT KING DID JESUS HANG OUT WITH WHEN HE WAS ON EARTH? WHAT WEALTH DID HE ACCUMULATE? THE CLOTHES ON HIS BACK, HE WOULD BE ARRESTED TODAY. A RABBLE ROUSER CARING FOR THE POOR. A MAN WHO IS TREASONOUS. HE IS NOT WHAT THE PRIESTS NEED. HE'S A THREAT TO PAUL McCARTNEY. BILLIONAIRES GET BEHIND YOUR BANK. DESPOTS GET TOGETHER AND LET'S JOIN HANDS. SHANGHAI, NEW YORK, YOU WANT TO OWN THE WORLD. YOU WANT TO OWN THE WORLD, AND NOW YOU WANT IT'S SOUL. TAKE ME ON A SHOPPING SPREE. I WANT MY MTV I WANT A NEW MP3. I NEED SOMETHING TO DISTRACT ME.

JASON KOERBER: FLUTE. CHRISTOPHER FOX, CHORD PROGRESSION, LYRICS, VOCALS,ELECTRIC GUITARS, ELECTRIC BASS. NYLON AND STEEL STRING GUITARS, PROGRAMMED DRUMS, SYNTHS. -you think that is true, well I got news for you. DON’T CROSS ME, DON’T EVER CROSS ME, EVEN IF I FEIGN RESPECT. DON’T TEMP ME TO GET MY SYNDICATE FOCUSSED ON YOU AND YOUR UNTIMELY DEATH. I’VE GOT BEAUTIFUL WHITE SLAVES WITH LONG LONG LEGS, IN A PENTHOUSE HIGH RISE I LEASE IN DUBAI. I’VE GOT LAWYERS WHO THAT HAVE LAWYERS WHO WILL TIE YOU UP IN COURT UNTIL YOU ARE BANKRUPT OR YOU DIE. I’VE GOT 80 US SENATORS BOTH FROM PARTIES THAT VOTE AS MY LOBBYIST TELL THEM TO DO. I’VE GOT 80 MEN IN MY BACK POCKET LINED UP TO RUN AGAINST THEM IF THEY REFUSE. I’VE GOT MY BUSINESS ASSOCIATES NEGOTIATING DEALS WITH COLUMBIAN COCAINE CARTELS. WHILE I WATCH THE HOMELESS FLOOD BY RIO DE JINERO LUXURY HOTEL I’VE GOT NEWSPAPERS THAT WILL HOUND YOU WITH WHATEVER I TELL THEM TO PRINT. I’VE GOT DRUGS MONEY AND WHORES TO BRIBE YOUR MOST TRUSTED CONFIDANTS. I’VE GOT MEN THAT WILL KILL YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A BUNGLED BURGLARY. I’VE GOT MEN IN THE HIGHEST ECHELON IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT WILL CONFIRM THIS TRAGIC STORY. MY STOCKS GO UP EVERY TIME THERE IS A WAR IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW LONG OR WHO WINS. I’VE GOT A PRIVATE JET PRE-CLEARANCE DIPLOMATIC PASSPORT F-15 FIGHTER ESCORT TO SWITZERLAND. I’M GETTING ON THE HOUR UPDATES ON A WHISTLE BLOWER REPORTER WHO I HAVE ORCHESTRATED HIS DISAPPEARANCE. WHILE SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW, SMILING SINGING PSALMS BEING SEEN ON T.V. AT A MEGA-CHURCH SERVICE. I CAN SLOW DOWN THE ALL THE MARKETS, TO DUMP ALL MY SHARES BEFORE TAKING A HUGE LOSS. THEN BE THE FIRST TO SNATCH UP THE PANIC SELL-OFF TO MAXIMIZE MY PROFITS. I WILL DO BUSINESS WITH ANYONE, TO MAKE ANY PROFIT, HUSH-HUSH, ALL THROUGH HIDDEN CHANNELS OF COURSE. IT DOESN’T MATTER IF I AM SHAKING HANDS OR LOOKING THE DEVIL IN THE EYE AS LONG AS MY POWER GROWS.

IF YOU WERE TO FALL DOWN THIS WELL. YOU WOULD MAKE QUITE A SPLASH WITH ME. HAD YOU KNOWN, YOU WOULD GROW TALLER? WOULD HAVE ARCHED YOUR BACK TO HIDE? IF YOU SAW PEOPLE STARING AT YOU? WOULD YOU DARE LAUGH AT THEM OR RUN? ARE YOU SO CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR THOUGHTS? WILL YOU WAKE UP SOMEDAY AND SMILE? WATCH THE BIRD SPLASH AROUND THE PUDDLE. IS ITS LIFE WORTH SO MUCH LESS THAN OURS? KNOCK IT DOWN, BUILD IT UP, THE PROFIT. DOES IT MEAN ANOTHER CAN SURROUND YOU? NEVER ASKED, NEVER WANTED THE PROFIT. LOST YOUR SOIL, LOST YOUR AIR TO WHOM? IF WE LOSE, SLAVERY RETURNS TOMORROW. THEN THE BIRD BECOMES THE PRINCE OF HOPE. enough? little trills. cool!

Got my Way 03:40

CHRISTOPHER FOX, CHORD PROGRESSION, LYRICS, VOCALS, ACOUSTIC STEEL STRING GUITARS, ELECTRIC BASS. GOT MY WAY, THEN I RAN AWAY, IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN WHEN YOU'RE A KID. STAYED UP LATE THINKING OF YOUR LOVE, WASN'T EVEN SURE WHAT IT WAS, I WAS THINKING OF. TRY TO CONCENTRATE THAT'S ALL, IT'S EASIER TO FALL IN THAN FALL OUT. WHEN I GO BACK TO THE OL' NEIGHBORHOOD I FEEL COMPELLED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING I SHOULD DO, TO CONTACT YOU AGAIN MY LOVE. DAYS GO BY AND YOU GET A CHECK, IT ALL SEEMS SO GODDAMN RITUALISTIC. I READ SOMEWHERE DAD FORECLOSED THE FARM, YEARS LATER HE WAS HIRED BACK TO WORK IN THE BARN. WHEN I GO BACK TO THE OL' NEIGHBORHOOD I FEEL ASHAMED WHEN I WATCH YOU FROM AFAR, WITH YOUR KIDS ALL DRESSED UP ON THEIR WAY TO THE BUS STOP. A MILLION THINGS I COULD OF BEEN, I HAUNTED BY THE FACT THAT I NEVER SPOKE UP. FLESH FIRE, WEIGHTLESS FLIGHT, I CAME SO CLOSE TO TIPPING THE BALANCE OF WHAT WAS RIGHT. WHEN I GO BACK TO THE OL' NEIGHBORHOOD I FEEL COMPELLED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING I SHOULD DO, TO CONTACT YOU AGAIN MY LOVE.

CHRISTOPHER FOX, CHORD PROGRESSION, LYRICS, VOCALS, ELECTRIC GUITARS, ELECTRIC BASS. ACOUSTIC STEEL STRING AND NYLON ACOUSTIC GUITARS, PIANO, PROGRAMMED DRUMS. SOUND EFFECTS. -what's that noise? That's just the ghost of the Easter bunny past. I FEEL A GHOST IN MY MIDST, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT? SHOW IT AROUND, TAKE IT INTO TOWN? SHARE WITH MY FRIENDS? IT SAID TO ME, "IT'S A SHE". HOW DOES ONE LAY DOWN, HOW DOES ONE GIVE UP, HOW DOES ONE SURRENDER TO YOU? WILL YOU TAKE MY FLAG, WILL YOU TAKE ME INTO YOUR HOME WITH YOU? I KNOW I'M STRONGER, I KNOW I'M BIGGER, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE SO TOUGH. BUT WHEN I WITH YOU, ALL I KNOW IS THAT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. "I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU" MY GHOST, SHE NEVER LEAVES ME ALONE, SHE FOLLOWS ME EVERYWHERE. SHE WATCHES ME DRESS, SHE WASHES ME WASH, SHE KNOWS WHERE I HIDE MY GUN. SHE KNOWS MY SECRET, SHE KNOWS WHAT I TRY TO HIDE FROM MY MOM. MY GHOST SHE LOVES ME, SHE CAN'T WAIT FOR ME TO DIE, SO I CAN JOIN HER. SHE TRIES TO TRIP ME DOWN THE STAIRS, SHE TRIES TO PUSH ME OUT THE WINDOW. 'WOOOH WOOOH". MY GHOST SWEARS I'M NOT HALLUCINATING. SHE SAYS, "SHE FINDS ME MOST FASCINATING". WHEN I BRING HOME A DATE, SHE STARTS TO HOWL. I TRY TO BLAME IT ON THE DOG. BUT THE GIRLS KNOW SOMEHOW. MY GHOST IS KNOCK DOWN, DRAG DOWN IN LOVE WITH ME. IN MY DREAMS, SHE TRIES TO HAVE HER WAY WITH ME. SHE MESSES WITH THE ELECTRICITY, THE POWER IS OUT. SHE SAYS "SHE LIKES CANDLES BURNING". SHE AND I HAVE A TRUCE. I WON'T CALL HER CASPER, IF SHE WON'T BLOW MY FUSE.

I WISH I DID THINGS DIFFERENT TO YOU EVEN MORE, EVEN MORE, EVEN MORE. JIMMIE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER, HIS DADDY WAS PICKED UP FOR THE SAME THING BEFORE. JIMMIE'S MOM SHOULD HAVE TOLD OR WARNED HIM OR SOMETHING. BUT SHE SPENT TOO MUCH TIME ON THE FLOOR. I'LL BE SO GOOD TO YOU, MAKE SWEET LOVE TO YOU. I WISHED THINGS WERE JUST LIKE BEFORE. TAKING THE DAY OFF, MAKING LOVE EVERYWHERE BEHIND OUR CLOSED DOOR, OUR CLOSED DOOR. I FIXED THE PLASTER IN MY ROOM, SO NOW THEY ARE RAISING THE RENT. I GOT A RAISE THAT I WANTED, NOW I FIND I MUST WORK EVERY WEEKEND. I'LL BE SO GOOD TO YOU, MAKE SWEET LOVE TO YOU. I WISHED THINGS WERE JUST LIKE BEFORE. TAKING THE DAY OFF, MAKING LOVE EVERYWHERE BEHIND OUR CLOSED DOORS.

I work six days a week and I still pay a higher percentage in taxes than someone who inherited a fortune? YOU WOULD THINK THAT BY KNOWING SOME DAY OUR SUN WILL BURN OUT. WE WOULD LOOK TO THE STARS TO SEE LIGHT. FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE THIS PLACE MORE INHABITABLE. INSTEAD OF MAKING A BUCK, FUCKING IT ALL UP. CALLING IT ALL LUCK, DRIVING A HUGE TRUCK. PUTTING BLINDERS ON, LET THE LEADERS LEAD. PUTTING YOUR BLINDERS ON, SAY GOOD BYE TO DEMOCRACY. BEIJING, TEL AVIV, YOU GOT WHAT YOU NEED. HONG KONG, WASHINGTON, LOBBYIST MAKING LAWS. SHELL OIL, HOUSE OF SAUD, VLADIMIR PUTIN. VERIZON, CITIBANK, YOU WANT A SLAVE STATE. WE'LL PROTECT YOU IN THE WOMB. HELP YOUR MOTHER NURSE AND RAISE YOU. SEND YOU OFF TO DILAPIDATED PUBLIC SCHOOLS. WE'LL SWEEP YOU OFF THE STREETS WHEN YOU HAVE A CLUE. YOUR WHOLE LIFE BOMBARDED WITH ADS. LET CORPORATION NEWS TELL YOU WHAT'S BAD. INDEBT YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH A CREDIT CARD. BY THE TIME YOU ARE 30, DESPERATE, LABELLED AND SCARRED. EVERYTHING IS FINE, DON'T DROP THAT DIME. EVERYTHING IT'S FINE, FINE, FINE FEINSTEIN. SEE THAT MAN ON THE STREET, HE'S NOT LIKE YOU AND ME. HE DESERVED TO LOSE HIS HOUSE, DON'T YOU AGREE? LOOK, HE DOESN'T, HE DOESN'T EVEN BLEED! THERE IS NO LAW THAT SAYS WE HAVE TO FEED YOU. THERE IS NO LAW THAT SAYS WE HAVE TO CARE FOR YOU TOO. AND IF WE WANT TO PULL OUR KIDS OUT AND PUT THEM IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS. AND LET THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS FAIL, SO BE IT! NA NA NA-IF YOUR KIDS WANT A COLLEGE EDUCATION. NA NA NA-THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO JOIN AND FIGHT. NA NA NA-AND IF THEY DIE OR GET INJURED, WELL HEY THAT'S NOT OUR FAULT. NA NA NA-WE GET TO LIVE OFF OUR TRUST FUNDS. EVERYTHING IS FINE, FINE, FINE, OH IT'S SWEET AND FINE. EVERYTHING IS FINE, FINE, FINE, FIENSTEIN. LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

CHRISTOPHER FOX, CHORD PROGRESSION, LYRICS, VOCALS, NYLON ACOUSTIC GUITAR. I MET MY FIRST NAKED WOMAN IN COLLEGE. IT IS LATER THAN MOST MEN WILL ACKNOWLEDGE. BUT YOU MUST UNDERSTAND, WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN. MY PARENTS TURNED THE T.V. WHEN THERE WAS KISSING. THEN THIS NUN, WHO THOUGHT I WAS THERE FOR FUN. ACCUSED ME OF BEING ON THE BASEBALL TEAM. MY TEACHER INTERVENED, EXPLAINED TO THE DEAN. THAT I WAS SERIOUS, JUST A SILLY TEEN. EVERYTHING WAS FINE, SHADING IN GESTURE LINES FORESHORTENING ARMS AND LEGS, USING CHARCOAL THEN ONE DAY, A BALLERINA STEPPED IN. OFF CAME HER ROBE, SO DID MY COMPOSURE. SHE WAS SO THIN, A WOMAN'S SMOOTH SKIN. I FELT SHE LOOKED AT ME TO MAKE ME TURN AWAY. I SAW HER AS A SHAPE, I ACTED LIKE A PRO. I KEPT HER BEAUTY IN MY PORTFOLIO.
