One Per Cent

A faceless man screwing bolts into a cylinder head
Doesn’t know he will be erased
The loyalty and economy of yesterday are dead
Nothing left but human waste
One per cent
One per cent
Broke his back for the man an apex predator
A robot will now twist his screws
For a penny a day the new machine will crush his competitor
Wait until his family gets the news
One per cent
One per cent
With power lust, I bust the trust
Ignore the obvious disgust
Redefined, refined, supplied,
I need it all to be mine
The greed, it feeds, the need to bleed
The devil is in the deed
I shook and took then cooked the books
The way to deal is to not look
One per cent
One per cent

400 million years ago
Devonian fuel trapped within
Given a chance to capitalize
Man will commit any sin
Business card stuck on my door
Do we have a deal for you
Mineral rights are yours to sell
Cash the checks you are due
Misconceptions and complaining
Bribery while the acid’s raining
Blood of the earth you’re straining now
You’re blowing it all up
Blowing it all up
You're blowing it all up
Vampire truck in my driveway
The foreman says all be fine
Waves his hand a great miracle
Turned my water into slime
Misconceptions and complaining
Bribery while the acid’s raining
Blood of the earth you are straining now
You’re blowing it all up
Blowing it all up
You're blowing it all up
Blow it up
Blow it up
You're blowing it all up

Euphoria

There’s a fair amount of people that I know
Pushing through best they can
The hard times take all the air from your lungs
When breathing’s all we really have
Euphoria
Hit me with another shot
Take the dread away
Euphoria
Give it to me all you’ve got
take it day by day
There’s gotta be resolution on the way
gotta get a little lift
The heavy days are long and they’re longing for repose
But I can feel a little shift
It’s not so easy when the world is coming down
An overload of burden to bear
But humankind has always lifted up from the muck
And found a way to persevere
You do what you can (I’ll do what I can)
We’ll change everything
You do what you can (I’ll do what I can)
Let’s see what it brings
Euphoria

Who was there when you lost your coat
Had an empty wallet and a ragged throat
When you needed a couch to rest your brain
Cooked you breakfast and didn’t complain
Your purple heart is tarnished
Scars earned are finally fading
War is at the
War is at the end
If you need me I’ll be here
Where I’ve always been
You’ll always have one
Always have one friend
When your relationships went wrong
Got you drunk and played punk songs
Drove you halfway across the state
Told you, you deserved a better mate
Your purple heart is tarnished
Scars earned are finally fading
War is at the
War is at the end
If you need me I’ll be here
Where I’ve always been
You’ll always have one
Always have one friend
Who picks you up off the curb?
Never tells you got what you deserve
No criticism just sage advice
I wish humanity were so nice
Your purple heart is tarnished
Scars earned are finally fading
War is at the
War is at the end
If you need me I’ll be here
Where I’ve always been
You’ll always have one
Always have one friend
Always have one friend

Joe Popp New York, New York
Florida's JOE POPP had a whirlwind run in the mid-90’s.
Though the band is governed by the "Loud, Fast Rules"
dictum, there are enough subtle departures and melody to keep things memorable. What JOE POPP does best is the classic clenched teeth, post-Ramones kind of thing with well-structured arrangements and singalong-demanding choruses.
