New video!: “P0RN!”

Lyrics:

You might be from Texas
you might be from Tennessee
You might be from way up north
in the Yukon Territ’ry
You might be from London or
you might be from Peru
It doesn’t matter where you’re from
You all like to watch people screw

Pooooooorn
It’s a unifier
Poooorn
Can’t identify ‘er
Poooooo- ooooo- oooorn
Everyone likes porn

You might have grown up thinking it was only for your dad
Or maybe in a church where they told you it was bad
Maybe you’ve been taught that that’s just not what nice girls do
But now that you’re all grown my friend,
I don’t see a thing stopping you

Pooooooorn
There’s a happy ending
Poooorn
Look at how they’re bending
Poooooo- ooooo- oooorn
Everyone likes porn

It can be for special times when you are with your mate
It can even be the end of a magical first date
It can be for holidays or when you’re feeling blue
It can be for every day, hell I don’t give a shit what you do

Pooooooorn
Might be degrading
Poooorn
But I’m not hating
Pooooooorn
It’s an honest living
Pooooooorn
So let’s be forgiving
Poooooo- ooooo- oooorn
Everyone likes porn

Mission Not Accomplished

Hey, it’s 4/20. Right?

In honor of the hippie holiday, here’s a song I wrote about using marijuana to help me be a nice person.

Dear Boston …

I wrote the following on Facebook yesterday after I heard about the bombing at the Boston Marathon. Many people told me it spoke to them so I’m posting it here for the general public.


Dear Boston, I’m sorry to hear you’ve been bombed today! My heart is with you. And while I’m at it …
Dear Afghanistan, I’m sorry we’ve been bombing you for twelve years.
Dear Iraq, I’m sorry we bombed you and then made it easier for others to bomb you once we’d stopped.
Dear Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, I’m sorry our drones have been bombing you for longer than I actually even know.

My heart is with all of you. Maybe let’s all stop bombing each other.

I said, “The Iraq War was for oil,” on RT TV

Thanks, The Army! You churned out another dissenter:

“Smoke Break” final recording released on Warrior Songs project

Click here to hear/buy my song “Smoke Break,” just released on the Warrior Songs “Story to Song” project! Your purchase helps to fund Warrior Songs, which paid for the recording of this and other veterans’ songs.

Thank you all for your support of my music and my activism against the wars our government starts without caring about the human toll they take. No matter who’s dropping them, bombs fuck people up. So I’d much rather drop records.

This song is dedicated to all my smoke break buddies during six years in the Army, and to my incredibly inspiring family in Iraq Veterans Against the War and Warrior Writers, especially Lovella Calica, Jenny Pacanowski and Maggie Martin for creating the space in which this song was written.

Featuring Rachel Colwell on violin.
Recorded and engineered by Charlie Wilson at Sonic Zen Records in Berkeley, CA.
