SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU
(Words & Music by Paul Cargnello)
If you 'aint angry, there's something wrong with you.
If you don't want to tear something down, you can't sing the blues.
I hope I can put you out of my mind,'cause you're out of sight
I hope you'll understand me,If I can sing it right
You know what everybody says about us,you just don't care
and I hope you take a good look around you, It's worse for ware.
If you 'aint angry, there's something wrong with you.
If you don't want to tear something down, you can't sing the blues.
I know exactly where I stand, just where do you
I hope you'll take a look deep inside you,and see what's true
You hope we can put this all behind us, but I know we can't
'Cause I woke up this morning, with the words coming out like an ancient chant
Fuck the law, fuck the kings
fuck your chains, fuck your rings
fuck your blood and soil, fuck your god given right
fuck your flag, no more excuses tonight
fuck your team, and fuck the whole franchise
fuck your history, fuck those lies
fuck your sad little world, fuck the whole scene
you all make me sick, you know what I mean.
If you 'aint angry, there's something wrong with you.
If you don't listen to me know, you'll never hear the truth.

PAX AMERICANA
(Music & Lyrics: Paul Cargnello)
Pax Americana
Hollywood's a world away
yet it fits in the palm of my hand
Pax Americana
New York's got an interstate
yet that's behind us now
Pax Americana
Washington's a state of mind
that we don't want to know
Pax Americana
the French Quarter's torn apart
the 9th Ward's washed away
You found States of clay
and I thought I heard you say
"Did I play my part well?"
like you couldn't tell
before the curtains fell
Pax Americana
Gettysburg is being fought
each and every day
and you looked the other way

GET INTO THE FRINGE
(Music & Lyrics by Paul Cargnello)
Get into the fringe
and out of the fray
drag the dead of night
into the light of day
well I might be worse for wear
but you got to take me there

INVISIBLE HURT
(Music & Lyrics: Paul Cargnello)
It's getting ugly
you should know
yet it shouldn't surprise you
when you're the star of this show
you being the stop
and the gap
the lone hunter
hunting without a trap
all wrapped in flags
and rhetoric
and kicks below the belt
the invisible hurt
may not be seen
but it is felt
Invisible hurt, got us on our knees
Invisible hurt, that nobody sees
The senate, the parliament
the prime-minister, you
say it ain't on your radar
well let me break it down for you
she got an invisible hurt
in her bloodline
a wound so deep
that it don't just get erased with time
you got security men
up top that hill
we can try to climb it
but for most of us
it's too steep still
well you've got quite a view
it's amazing what you can't see
that with great power
must come accountability
Invisible hurt, got us on our knees
Invisible hurt, that nobody sees

J'ATTENDS LE GROS LOUP
(Musique: Paul Cargnello
Paroles: Paul Cargnello & François Deschamps)
J'attends le Gros Loup
Il rode la nuit
Dans les ruelles
Celui qui rit
De votre cérémonielle
Il fuit la meute
Des idées grises
Celui qui hurle
À l'heure exquise
J'attends le Gros Loup
Il reste fière
Et insoumis
Celui qui chasse
Son propre paradis
Je sens son souffle,
j'entends son cri
Je sens sa force de
Limoilou à l'Arménie…
Et seul sur mon balcon
à regarder une lune sans nom
J'attends le Gros Loup

LAST CALL (FOR MONTREAL)
(Lyrics & Music by Paul Cargnello)
Here we are, barely face to face
In the catacombs, of your lonely place
with Cleopatra waiting in the wings
and Caesar polishing up the shiny things
and right now it's last call for Montreal
Here we are, never eye to eye
caught in a death-grip, but nowhere to die
with Pooh bear and Jillian Jiggs
riding broomsticks and wearing rainbow wigs
and right now it's last call for Montreal
You've see this all before
I shouldn't expect any less or any more from the past
nothing will last
There you are, in the rear view mirror
so close once, but never nearer
with "New Futures", and the music loud
separate now like being lost in the crowd
and right now it's last call for Montreal
