"After Agriculture" written by Barbara Barg 

When we were a rare animal

Newly human beast of prey

It was one big food hunt

We were free and needy

And we lived under skies of uncertainty

We were at large in time


When we were a rare animal

Newly human beast of prey

It was one big God hunt

We were free and trembling

and we made our gods out of everything

We didn’t worship men yet 

We were fond of gang life

Because our lives were .  .  . unpleasantly vulnerable

We haven’t changed out style


Family Church School Nation Party          Family Church School Nation Party

Family Church School Nation Party          Family Church School Nation Party


Family Church School Nation Party          Did not make me feel so hot

Family Church School Nation Party           Filled my childhood brain with rot

Family Church School Nation Party         Units of hostility

Family Church School Nation Party         You can’t be as good as me


If you’re not in my   


Family Church School Nation Party         Squeezes us so far apart

Family Church School Nation Party          Slams the door on the human heart

Family Church School Nation Party         Life’s so hard in history

Family Church School Nation Party          I can’t live oppositionally 


            What do I belong to? Soul or chromosome?

            Boundaries and bloodshed. Earth seems so far from

            What do I belong to? Soul or chromosome?

            Boundaries and bloodshed. Earlth seems so far from home


Family Church School Nation Party   Drown my dreams in tribal war

Family Church School Nation Party  Build Berlin Walls shore to shore

Family Church School Nation Party  Vainly beg their gods to bless

Family Church School Nation Party  Raise their flags above my flesh


            What do I belong to? Soul or chromosome?

            Boundaries and bloodshed. Earth seems so far from

            What do I belong to? Soul or chromosome?

            Boundaries and bloodshed. Earlth seems so far from 

            What do I belong to? Soul or chromosome?

            Boundaries and bloodshed. Earth seems so far from

            What do I belong to? Soul or chromosome?

            Boundaries and bloodshed. Earlth seems so far from home

"Criminal" written by Barbara Barg

The things that I’m thinking could put me in prison

The things that I’m thinking could put me in prison

The things that I’m thinking could put me in prison

The things that I’m thinking could put me in prison

The things that I’m thinking could put me in prison

The things that I’m thinking could put me in prison

The things that I’m thinking could put me in prison

The things that I’m thinking could put me in prison


Ooo, oooey-oooey-ooo, oooey-oooey-ooo, oooey-oooey-ooo

Ooo, oooey-oooey-ooo, oooey-oooey-ooo, oooey-oooey-ooo


Everyone’s a criminal unless you got the money, honey

Everyone’s a criminal now, oooey-oooey

Everyone’s a criminal unless you got the money, honey

Everyone’s a criminal now,



Someone owns the fruit, someone owns the soil

Someone owns the water and someone owns the oil  

Someone owns the sky, someone owns the trees

Someown owns Manhattan but they can’t own me

Cuz everyone’s a criminal unless you got the money, honey

Everyone’s a criminal now, oooey-oooey

Everyone’s a criminal unless you got the money, honey

Everyone’s a criminal now,


Government is dead, corporations rule

Politicians hoping that everyone’s a fool

Wanna live and wish, don’t wanna be a slave

Anything I gotta do to break that cage

Aw everyone’s a criminal unless you got the money, honey

Everyone’s a criminal now, oooey-oooey

Everyone’s a criminal unless you got the money, honey

Everyone’s a criminal now,


Someone owns the fruit, someone owns the soil

Someone owns the water and someone owns the oil  

Someone owns the sky, someone owns the trees

Someown owns Manhattan but they can’t own me

Aw everyone’s a criminal unless you got the money, honey

Everyone’s a criminal now, oooey-oooey

Everyone’s a criminal unless you got the money, honey

Everyone’s a criminal now, na na na 

Everyone’s a criminal unless you got the money, honey

Everyone’s a criminal now, oooey-oooey

Everyone’s a criminal unless you got the money, honey

Everyone’s a criminal now,


The things that I’m thinking could put me in prison

The things that I’m thinking could put me in prison   

Oooey-oooey-oooey, oooey-oooey-oooey, oooey-oooey-oooey-oooooo

"What I Think About" written by Maggie Dubris

What I think about when I think about sex, it ain't necessarily death

What I think about when I think about sex, it ain't necessarily death

What I think about when I think about love, it ain't necessarily what comes of it

What I think about when I think about sex, it ain't necessarily death


It's raining in the city but it storms on the deep blue sea

I'm looking for a yellow cab that's bringing you to me

It's raining on the city but it storms on the deep blue sea

Behind these windows I can be exactly who I want to be


Whoah oh oh, plagues I hear they come and go

Radio says, "Bad times coming, bad times coming,"

No No more Be-bop-a-lula Be-bop-a-lula

The papers all say, "No more loving no,"


It's raining in the city but it storms on the deep blue sea

I'm looking for the yellow cab that's bringing you to me

It's raining in the city but it storms on the deep blue sea

Behind these windows I can be exactly who I want to be


What I think about when I think about sex, it ain't necessarily death

What I think about when I think about sex, it ain't necessarily death

What I think about when I think about love is not necessarily what comes of it

What I think about when I think about sex, it ain't necessarily death

It ain't necessarily death, it ain't necessarily death . .  .
