Everything to Me
c. '20 Vlayman
Block 'em at both ends of the bridge, like they always wanna did
Hold up up on that concrete and metal, keep 'em in the kettle
I gotta girl that's out in the streets
You oughta know she means everything to me
Pepper balls and horses and rubber bullets put 'em in the lurch
Push 'em back and knock 'em dow, I gotta show at the church
I gotta bro that's out in the streets
You oughta know he means everything to me
Drive on by in the SUV, shootin' that shit indiscriminantly
Yeah, drive on by the in the po-po macheen,
Hit the barricade and push 'em down the street
I gotta some folks is out in the streets
You oughta know they mean everything to me
Generals is talkin' and fucked-news is sqwakin' and senators is writin' and news folks is fightin'
and the population's learnin' while the trash cans is burnin'
and the population's learnin' while the Constitution's burnin'
I gotta some folks is out in the streets
You oughta know they mean everything to me

Breathe for You
c, '20 Vlayman
Take another breath so you can see yer son
Take another breath and rage at what they done
Take another breath laying there in the bed
Take another breath, proceed to dead
Take another breath, call out for yer moms
Take another breath ya know it's all gone wrong
Take another breath and see yer sister dear
Take another breath while yer still here
Take another breath, do it through gritted teeth
Take another breath, dream of being free
Take another breat see your way clear
Take another breath and shed a final tear
Take another breath laying there on the ground
Take another breath, ya know what's goin' round
Take another breath and pray for all of us
Take another breath in God we fucking trust
Take another breath cuz they don't train 'em right
Take another breat cuz you ain't white
Take another breath and bleed out yer ear
Take another breath because yer time is near
Take another breath, it's all you can do
Take another breath we gonna breathe for you
Take another breath, it's what we gotta do
Take another breath we gonna breathe for you

On the Back Foot
c. '20 Vlayman
Movin' slow, you coulda kept a comin' on
Taken yer time and learned the the song
Movin' slow, you coulda kept a comin' on
Taken yer time and learned what's really goin' on
Instead, in yer head, yer on the back foot
A little patience, a willingness to play fair
You had the experts willing to take you all the way there
Could made it without the pain you now must bear
Could made it without the shame had you learned to care
Instead, yer on the back foot
You rushed right in, did it your way
Breaking promises every night and day
Had no plan, let nothing stand in your way
Yer broken mind is on display
yer on the back foot

Your Best Shot
c. '20 Vlayman
Don't get too close, don't try to talk to me
Yer too afraid, it's really easy to see
You got the armor and got the riot gun
You think yer gonna have some fun
Well, hit me with your best shot man
Gimme all ya got, yeah
Hit me with yer best shot
Don't you dare put yer knee on the ground
Yeah, I know there's a lotta that goin' round
But you, with yer helmate and no badge to see
We seen what you are and that don't make us happy
Well, hit me with your best shot man
Gimme all ya got, yeah
Hit me with yer best shot
Well, hit me with your best shot man
Gimme all ya got, yeah
Hit me with yer best shot
It ain't your fault, yer job attracts yer kind
It ain't all of you, outta yer fuckin' mind
but there's enough that it's epidemic
you are yer own pandemic

Go Away
c. '20 Vlayman
I'm feelin' a little bit badly
I don't know just what to say
I used to love you madly
But you gotta go away
Please don't take this too badly
You'll forgive me I hope one day
I know you love me madly
But you gotta go away
Go away, little girl
Fly away
Go away
You knew what you was doin'
The decision was yours
You knew what you were choosin'
When you walked out the door
Don't care you took my money
Don't care you took my car
Shouldn't have taken your reputation
It sure didn't get you too far
Go away, little girl
Fly away
Go away
Your momma, she's feelin' badlAnd we kniow he died in prisony
She says she didn't know anything
She says yer just like yer daddy
Go away, little girl
Fly away
Go away
Go away, little girl
Time to pay
Go away

Vlayman Chicago, Illinois
Fat, bald and old - could I be anymo' rock-n-roll?
I play guitar, bass, some keys and percussion, and I try to
vocalize. I write and record, and I do so obsessively. Also, I like martoonies, a lot, and I raise my kids, whom I also like, a lot.
Look for me at the TapeOp and TalkBass forums, where I'm vvv, or in various bars in the Loop.
