lyrics

Political Criminal

Wave your sacrifice around
With a selfless fist
Blow up the ones you mean to save
And save yourself a facelift

the backhand of God
Drunk on power, righteous to shiv
Say “It’s a privilege to kill
For people Dying to live.”

I’m dying to live

You are who you believe you are
But you can’t always see who you believe you are
Take time to see through your beliefs
Believe you are
The morning star is not who you believe you aren’t
And there you are
Right back down at the start
Believing that you are what you believe

Criminals trust their instincts
When the politicians drive us to drink
Pirates spinning spider webs
Liars wielding tridents of truth
You think its all about you

You think its all about you

Now I’m a criminal
Pay no taxes, live off the grid
Do what’s wrong for the right reasons
To mirror your bullshit

I’m forced to help myself
Take my life into my own hands
You take away our rights
For our protection, no

Criminals trust their instincts
When the politicians drive us to drink
Pirates spinning spider webs
Liars wielding tridents of truth
You think its all about you

(but its not all about you)

two sides, the same disgrace
we wear each other’s faces
I’d try to take your place
But I hate what you do

You Lie and do the opposite
of what you say you do
to be the opposition I must do the opposite
and same as you

Criminals trust their instincts
When the politicians drive us to drink
Pirates spinning spider webs
Liars wielding tridents of truth
You think its all about
You think its all about
You think its all about you

Agents of Venus New York, New York

AoV's hyper-melodic masterpieces are piped in from deep space with the blessings of the Sun Eve, inventing psychedelic lust- letters to the Goddess of Love herself. Songwriters Allen Towbin (aka Agent 333, vocals, guitars, bass, keys) and Phil Ristaino (aka Artron Avalon, vocals, raps, lyrics, art) bloom purple coated sunflowers of sound down your noise-holes and into your hearts and minds! ... more
