LYRICS
Ronald Regan
Jimmy Carter
The Right began
Left the martyr
Here’s the riddle
Where’s the middle
Extremes have meddled
While their Nero fiddled
Where there ever days
With different ways
Try to do the best
For all the rest

Richard Nixon
John F. Kennedy
Put the fix on
Left humanity
Here’s the riddle
Where’s the middle
Extremes have meddled
While their Nero fiddled
Where there ever days
With different ways
Try to do the best
For all the rest

LYRICS
A scene so obscene
Likes of never been seen
Marching in the streets
Saluting all he greets
Playing stolen songs
To the swollen throngs
Blaming others along
For all of his wrongs
He never learned to listen
To another’s position
But he could shout a slur
Watch it go further
Go! Get out of Portland
I demand
Go! Get out of Portland
Understand? I demand
You know… go!
You gotta go, go, go

LYRICS
Our mission is to find out
About the mine within
The landmine of the mind
Where does it end
Where does it begin
Can you mine a heart of gold
Before being told
You’ve grown old?

LYRICS
Do you want to know
Where we come from
Umbilical flow
Cut… come undone
Did you come head first
Screaming with thirst
End with a burst
Go out feed first
Does it feel real
Watching time grow
Do the wounds heal
In the afterglow?

LYRICS
I ain’t heard nothing
Not even a peep
Must be trouble
In real deep
Into the shadows
Slither and creep
Crawl back under
The rock you come from
Time to wonder
Take stock in freedom

I ain’t seen nothing
Not hide nor hair
Must be hiding
Come out, I dare
Insist to fight?
Make it fair
Crawl back under
The rock you come from
Time to wonder
Take stock in freedom

LYRICS
You can’t lose
When you choose
To live
Give “live” a chance
You’re the gods
You set the odds
When you ask “live” to dance
When it’s your life to give
Give to “live”

LYRICS
Born a poor boy
Raised on dreams
So it seems
Pocketful of joy
Busts the seams
So it seems
Dreams dreamt turned to meant
Now the pillars of the scene/seen

LYRICS
Well, I had a little drink about an hour ago
Where time went…
Oh, I don’t know
From the clock, I did stray
Can’t seem to find my way
To now
Somehow
To get my presence
To the present
Is the essence
Of what I’m trying to say
To get my presence
To the present
In essence
Can’t seem to find my way

Guess I’ll have another drink
Before I go
Time well spent
Oh, that I know
From the clock, I did stray
Can’t seem to find my way
To now
Somehow
To get my presence
To the present
Is the essence
Of what I’m trying to say
To get my presence
To the present
In essence
Can’t seem to find my way

LYRICS
Well, are you?
How can you expect us to concede
To your chosen image of hatred and greed
Oh, no
Are you…
Sure that’s what you wanted to do
(Well, are you?)
Is that a growl
Or does it make you howl?
Howling at the moon
Loon, howling at the moon

LYRICS
Quite naively
Thought you got the best of me
I guess you couldn’t really see
Quite coincidentally
I saw you coming clearly
Knew to make my leaving early
Quite the novelty
Cloaked in hypocrisy
Unable to grasp reality
While our home’s on fire
And our situation dire
“Liar! Liar! Liar!”

LYRICS
Why don’t you get from in
Out of the garden?
The indent of your footprint
Can you pay the bill… afford the rent?
The extent of your excrement
Can you foot bill and pay your rent?

LYRICS
Chalk it up
To experience
Talk it up
Our independence
Finding a new way
Of living
Dealing with what
We’re given
Walk it off
Seeing stars
Take it off
Bending bars
Bring it on
Ready to rock
Carry on
Roll the clock
