THE SIREN OF THE ODYSSEY

Amanda Hatton

Amanda is the Sirens of the Odyssey. Her singing is so good that it will lead those that listen to their doom. In the Retro Punk X  performance she represents the call of the spoken word that is used to lead men to accept poor governments and therefore give up their individuality and creativity.

From Homer's Odyssey, "You will come first of all to the Sirens, who are enchanters of all mankind and whoever comes their way; and that man who unsuspecting approaches them, and listens to the Sirens singing, has no prospect of coming home and delighting his wife and little children as they stand about him in greeting, but the Sirens by the melody of their singing enchant him."

 

 

 

MY COUNTRY TIS OF THEE

 

My country tis of thee
sweet land of liberty
of thee i sing
land where my fathers died
land of the pilgrims pride
from every mountainside
let freedom ring

My country pissed on me
thank christianity
with brainwashing
land where the indians died
blood trickled down the mountainside
valiant attempt at genocide
manifest destiny

My country tis of thee
sweet land of liberty
of thee i sing
land where my fathers died
land of the pilgrims pride
from every mountainside
let freedom ring

My fathers god fucked me
sodomy or liberty
through golden downpour I sing
Long is our hell
of night
stamping out freedoms light
now we must pool our might
let's depose this king






 

  

JINGLE JESUS

Jingle jesus, jingle jesus,
jingle all the way
give my money to the church
or i'll have hell to pay

Hey!

Jingle jesus, jingle jesus,
jingle pocket change
if you're poor just give 'em more
cause that's the christian way,
Hey!

Slaving through this life,
trying to buy my way
out of pain and strife
straight on through pearly gates

End mouth breathers glaze
of church endure no more
bought my ticket, let me in
to church forever more. . .
Well:

Jingle jesus, jingle jesus,
jingle all the way
give my money to the church
or i'll have hell to pay
Hey!
Jingle jesus, jingle jesus,
jingle pocket change
if you're poor just give 'em more
cause that's the christian way,
Hey!

Dashing through this life
trying to make my way
don't look left or right
keep my hands in plain sight

Hide the blood and taste not flesh
crave not for sin with man
keep eyes, ears, mouth, legs shut tight
for that's his divine plan
Well. . .

Jingle jesus, jingle jesus,
jingle all the way
give my money to the church
or i'll have hell to pay
Hey!
Jingle jesus, jingle jesus,
jingle pocket change
if you're poor just give 'em more
cause that's the christian way,
Hey!
