Album: Burden and Don’t Let It Reign
(Budde/Johnson)

Leave your weapons at the door step 
When you enter the house of God
There is justice and uprightness
No need to kill a man

Leave your judges, leave your juries
At the threshold of the Lord
Nothing is hidden, none are guilty
In the courtroom of Dog

Young, black, poor, and stoned
Stand your ground and leave me alone
I’m on your land and I’m in my hood
Leave me alone as they said you should
Young, black, poor, and stoned
Now, how! I’m all alone

Bring your shotguns, bring your switchblades
When you enter the house of Man
Ain’t no justice, no comeuppance
In this broken land

A man may shoot down his own brother
With no recourse and no time
One is buried, one is set free
Book deal for his crime

Passenger, Pass On By

Album: Burden and Don’t Let It Reign
(Johnson/Budde)
 
Passenger, pass on by
Don’t you stop to take a look
Pilgrim kill you sure as you are born
Fry you in a pan with potatoes and corn

Passenger, pass on by
Don’t you delay on your way
Pilgrim take your wings, won’t fly no more
Leave you flightless on the dusty river shore

Injun man, pass on by
Don’t you stop to take a look
Pilgrim kill you sure as you are born
Celebrate Thanksgiving with turkey and corn

Injun man, pass on by
Don’t you delay on your way
Pilgrim take your land, won’t dance no more
Leave you homeless away from the river shore

Virgin land, them tar sands
Won’t you stop to take a look?
Pilgrim kill you sure as you are born
Tear your roots up, leave your children all forlorn

Virgin land, them tar sands
Won’t you delay on your way?
Pilgrim rape your land, won’t breathe no more
Hope that pipe line don’t spill on that river shore

(Don’t Let It) Reign

Album: Burden and Don’t Let It Reign
(Johnson/Budde)

Let it rain
Let it rain bombs
Let the free market reign
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

Gotta go to the store
Gotta get some of that stuff
They got it two for a quarter
And I ain’t got a dime

If there ain’t no rights
Then there can’t be no wrongs
Have you seen it rain?
Rain right on the floor
Let it rain on the poor
Let it pour

Exchange a shake
Can’t shake that change
No change of face
Can change that shake
The face of change
It’s such a shame
Now, let shame rain
On that old exchange

They killed our gods
But they kept one hostage
And they let it rule
In the name of regression
And let it rule
In the name of suppression
Well, gold and silver
Can’t stop no lead

Don’t let it reign
