bookmark_borderAgent Of Change

LYRICS
Feeling so strange
Thoughts rearrange
Agent of change

The same ole same ole
Is getting old
See the shoulder
Growing cold
Feeling so strange
Thoughts rearrange
Agent of change

The rolling bolder
Gathers no moss
Before I grow older
And life’s a loss
Feeling so strange
Thoughts rearrange
Agent of change

LYRICS
Blah blah blah
Hogwashed jibberish
Excuse me
I guess we’ll have to wait and see
Wait and see
What we’ll be
Wait and see
What will be
Our goal
Swallowed whole
Into the depths
Of he bowels
Babies cry
Wolves howl
We’re all going to die
I say…
Just not today

LYRICS
Look out over the scene
Hello,
We’re all yellow
With the blues
What we choose —
Green
He said turning from red
Hello,
Turning to yellow
’till just my a$$ is seen
Turning to green!
Resources of the Earth
Getting lean
Time for a rebirth
And, turning green

LYRICS
Can you grab it?
Grab it
Isn’t this the $hit!
Breaks their habit
Least slows it down a bit
But, will anything come of it
Or back to our use and abuse
Rape the landscape
Foul the air
So fresh air’s rare
Do we really want to go there?
Got to wear a mask everywhere
Cation! Alert! Aware…
Of Be Ins with human beings

LYRICS
I can see beyond the canopy
… beyond the canopy
The light shines through upon you
… through upon you
The way of the ray
The ray makes the day

I’m afraid we’re losing the shade
… losing the shade
The flora is starting to fade
… starting to fade
The way of the ray
The ray makes the day

Pollution revolution
… revolution
These “we’s” killing the trees
… killing the trees
The way of the ray
The ray makes the day

LYRICS
Did I hear your mom calling?
I think you’d better go
Don’t you know the sky’s falling
I think you’d better go

Can we go?
Let’s roll

Didn’t you say you couldn’t be late
I think you’d better go
Didn’t you say you hated to wait
I think you’d better go

Can we go?
Let’s roll

bookmark_borderDo as I say Not as I Do

LYRICS
Do as I say not as I do
’cause I don’t care about you
And I’m going to do
What I want to do
Is the rude attitude
To which I allude
Soon the fool will learn
The Golden Rule
Can’t fool the Golden Rule
Karma is the baker
When you go to meet your maker
Do you find it absurd
You eat your own words
And do you hate the taste of hate
Perhaps it’s not too late to relate?

Jump in

Got you

Unless you try
You’ll never know why

LYRICS
You know I’ve gotta…
I’m gonna… catch up a bit
If I’ve gotta…
I’m gonna… catch up to it
Time to get out of the gate
There’s a race… I’m running late
Hesitate… and I cast my fate

You know I’m going to go out on a limb
Because the light is going dim
You know I’ve gotta…
I’m gonna… catch up a bit
If I’ve gotta…
I’m gonna… catch up to it

Is it time to relate to the date
If I’m fixated in time?
You know I’ve gotta…
I’m gonna… catch up a bit
If I’ve gotta…
I’m gonna… catch up to it

Got a life and that’s quite a lot

LYRICS
What do you make of it?
The human habitat (bull$hit)
And all that (bad habit)
Looks like they’re losing ground
All around
Save the sinking ship
Going to drown
Going down

Living it up in America
Volatility of humanity
In a pandemic society
Protest: they riot and loot
Garnishing and licking boot
Ha, ha
Ahh… living it up in America

All the malfeasance

How deep to delve?

Realize too late
You cast your fate
Surprise anticipate
Salt in the wound

None too soon
Rinse and repeat

The despise of the I’s
When you are them
Surprise to realize

Soak our spirit
For all to hear it

LYRICS
Look here
Look what we’ve got
Sounds queer
Haves and have nots
Lawn mowers and helicopters
Blend the sounds of co-opters

Hear that?
That’s what I mean
Ball bat
Eliciting screams
Lawn mowers and helicopters
Blend the sounds of co-opters

Look there
That’s what we get
Not fair
No not there yet
Lawn mowers and helicopters
Blend the sounds of co-opters

ABOUT THE SONG
I had to check to see if I heard a lawn mower or a black hawk helicopter during the pandemic, riots and looting.
