The 26Dollar Empire

Voice is Gone. Fingers blistered and raw. Tired to the Point of Distraction. Legs so sore they won’t stay still. I am weak and broken. God is Greater (God >) Week 2 of 5 at Winterfest 2012 is finished. Clear Eyes, Full Heart, Cant Lose. View Larger

Voice is Gone. Fingers blistered and raw. Tired to the Point of Distraction. Legs so sore they won’t stay still. I am weak and broken. God is Greater (God >) Week 2 of 5 at Winterfest 2012 is finished. Clear Eyes, Full Heart, Cant Lose.


I just want to wake up in someone else’s arms. Is that too much to ask. This perpetual loneliness machine is beginning to really suck.

I’m a marinade
Of what’s hot this summer
I’m an early comer
Bought a Gulf War Hummer

Every fad, I feel its force
Every trend, I do endorse
Got my genomes mapping
Caught my smart dog napping

I’m charging up the new, new thing
(I’m riffing on the new, new thing)
I’m answering a customized ring
I’m starting from the place you stop
I’m packing for an ego trip…hop

Stop the scam
You day traders in a traffic jam
Can the craze
All you players outta plays
Fight the man
All you suckers for a better brand
They got us livin’ off the fad o’ the land

Get your pager on
‘Cause you know my number
I’m a wireless wonder
Got thumbs of thunder

Soul daddies in a fire wire tumble dryer
Soul mamas broke the breaker
Soul children packin’ Prozac pacifiers
Get your plug-in
We all need to plug into our Maker

— The Fad Of The Land by The Newsboys, from the 2nd to Last GOOD album they made, ‘Thrive’
