Street Angels

TheEliteExtremophile Street Angels is a fantastic record, and I’m glad Bobby Shock was able to maintain such a high quality of output on such a rapid schedule. His last album was released only seven months ago. The artful mix of progressive rock, art pop, new wave, and various other bits ‘n’ bobs results in what might be my favorite record of the year so far.

Part 1: A World Of Injustice (Instrumental) Part 2: Our Leading Lady Here we have Miss Renee She has a lot to say The world is not ok It's not a peaceful place Everyone around her just doesn't seem to care And she's gotta make a stand And she's gotta help the ones who need a hand She's gotta make a stand Stop the evil ones from destroying all the land And imprisoning the children And oppressing all the people with lies She's gotta make a plan and stick with it She's gonna form a band and rock to it She's gonna make a change and grow with it All she's gotta do, is just do it She walks alone by the riverside And a gentle breeze Carries a butterfly... Part 3: Riverside Remedies A little trail Runs along the river That's where she likes to go To get away from the sounds of the city And hear the water flow Big Blue and The Institution They wanna bring her down Now with a sigh She looks up to the sky Gonna rest for awhile... Miss Renee's gonna make it right Teach them all how to fight You don't need guns, just the power of love It comes from you and the stars above Give the people what they really need To lend a hand is the way to succeed To see a smile on a face of another A strong reminder that we need each other The Sun sets With the color of freedom But we are far from done Now with a cry, she shouts out to the sky We deserve to thrive... Part 4: Big Blue Strikes The Institution buys you with a smile You sell your soul Just to live for awhile Corporate schemes Fading dreams Quality of life - Retirement Enjoy your life, what's left of it The Institution Keepers of our rights They can be stopped By the kindness of your heart Give all you have To the folks of the land Break the fear and lend a helping hand Like the tales of old To destroy the creatures of the night You must drive them out Expose them to the light No matter the age Any time or place You cross Big Blue They'll kick in your face Whoever survives Gets traded away Don't matter to them We all bleed the same way Part 5: Transfer Of Power Like mindless drones Big Blue charges the city streets Smoke fills the air A figure emerges from the crowd Tensions high, eyes of tears This is what she said: No cages, no borders, no masters Strike me down Lock me up I'll never stop I'll never give up In our hearts we have to search For the love and compassion To start a chain reaction We must heal the Earth Miss Renee Shows us the way To let our hearts combine Moments of truth Shatters the lies Miss Renee Save the day She teaches us to be kind The people rejoice Big Blue has resigned Battles won Just for now War's undone We must prevail The Institution Is not defeated The empty souls Will keep recruiting Evil hides, but will return Another loss, something learned We can't give in, we can't give up We must go on repeating Showing how much we care Watch the smiles unveil Love will not derail Together we can be the setting Sun Give chance A second glance Another shine A river give a ripple it's time... Part 6: Message Of Light (Spoken Word by Valore) You are me, and I am you I feel your pain, we play the fool Someday soon We'll all be free...

How long Can this keep goin on Everyday I tell myself There's nothing wrong Train your mind to think it's fine All you do is work all the time Someone else makes more money than you But you work harder than they do Look around What do you see Somewhere else you'd rather be Born to work You work til you die All you gotta do is say goodbye There's nothing I would rather do Than quit my job and stay with you I don't want to waste my time Working a job I don't even like How long Can this keep goin on Everyday I tell myself There's nothing wrong I can't afford to live my life They say you gotta work Just to survive Someone else is more happy than you But you got more money than they do Look around What do you see Someone else you'd rather be Born to work You work til you die All you gotta do is say goodbye There's nothing I would rather do Than quit my job and stay with you I don't want to waste my time Working a job I don't even like There's nothing I would rather do Than quit my job and stay with you I don't want to waste my time Working a job I don't even like Goodbye...

Part 1 Where are we going Where have we been Broken dreams and miseries Are dripping in the din Lifetime after lifetime Will we ever learn Hatred grows from barren hearts Where love does not grow first As courage spreads by battlecry The love you share will not be halved Every life is precious Each a gift to souls in motion The change of hearts is found When all your love erodes corrosion Leave all your hate behind Anger is entangled In so many emotions The fear that hides inside you Churns a hate filled deeper ocean Cast away the doubts inside you See the eyes of those beside you Let all your loving guide you And leave your hate behind Kindness spreads forgiveness Turns to joy Then turns to laughs Every life is precious Each a gift to souls in motion The change of hearts is found When all your love erodes corrosion Of hate that scales the softness All the steeping in devotion Leave all your hate behind Leave all your hate behind Leave all your hate behind Part 2 Why don't - you just Leave your hate behind There is - no need For the constant fight Why don't - you just Leave your hate behind You'll have - more fun Basking in the light... Why don't - you just Leave your hate behind There is - no need For the constant fight Why don't - you just Leave your hate behind You'll have - more fun Basking in the light...
