From the album Dumpster Generation.
A Billion Ernies are a ska/hardcore/(genre) band from Hemet, California. Their lyrics are heavy with political content and religious ideas. I am not a christian or a wobbly myself, but I agree passionately with most of this band's lyrics. They're amazing live and this is one of my favorite albums of recent years. Do yourself a favor and download this album for free from www.communityrecords.org While you're there check out bands like Brunt of It, The Flaming Tsunamis, Stuck Lucky, and Fatter Than Albert. then do all of those bands a favor by going to their shows and promoting for them. It takes a village.
Here's the lyrics because the lyrics are very important to the band:
NOBODY HOLDS YOUR LIFE IN THEIR HANDS, NOBODY OWNS YOUR SOUL. STRANGE HOW WE ARE SO AFRAID TO LOSE EVERYTHING WE DONT NEED THEY MADE. WE PRAY FOR REDEMPTION, BUT IF EVERYTHING WE NEED CAN BE GROWN FROM THE EARTH, TELL ME WHAT YOUR MONEY IS WORTH. NOTHING. ITS NOT WORTH A THING AT ALL. ALL THEY WANT IS MONEY, ALL WE NEED IS HONESTY.
