I LOVE JULIAN

Don’t stand in the dark and lie to me
Come into the light so I can see
The blood on your hands, the evil in your eyes
I love Julian!

It’s gonna get ugly, it’s gonna get rough,
I know just how tough they’re gonna play
They wanna shut you down, they gotta shut you up
I love Julian!

The titans are trembling, the tyrants scared
Of Delilah cutting off their hair
Well-coiffed secrets are falling to the floor
I love Julian!

The uniforms and the business suits are terrified that we will see the truth
That they’re bleeding us dry
They’re taking everything we got
I love Julian!

All of the heroes I’ve ever loved
Have been shot, jailed or hung
For telling the truth, for saying it straight
For taking the heat
And I love Julian!

See the monster with his mask
See the bully with his guns and his gas
See the people marching in the street
I love Julian!

See the shiny war machine that fights a foe I do not know or see
While mercenaries profit
And the politicians preen
I love Julian!

It won’t be pretty and it won’t be nice
The truth requires a sacrifice
There is a cost we must be willing to pay
I love Julian!

The truth is a lover in the night
The truth is passionate and hot
The truth whispers in your ear
“ Now’s the time to JUST STAND UP!”

Some times it’s a word, some times it’s an act
Some times it’s a march in the street.
Sometimes it’s quiet, sometimes it’s a riot
Sometimes it’s a leak
I love Julian!

All of the heroes I’ve ever loved
Have been shot, jailed or hung
For telling the truth, for saying it straight
For taking the heat
And I love Julian!
