LYRICS
If they’re coming after you
What are you going to do?

Coming after you
What are you going to do
You better run
Before your options fade
When they’re coming down on me
What will their options be?

Well, when they come down
I can take it
I get it
There really is some good
Do what we should
Angels raining down around
Can you see
Really
Gay Church
Reality
Start your day
At Church and Gay

LYRICS
Go back to start
To find your heart
Gather your head
And move ahead
Pick up a piece of peace
Live up life’s second lease

A day is found above ground
Open eyes look around

Start jumping for joy
Take a breath… enjoy
I realize
Life’s my prize
Pick up a piece of peace
Live up life’s second lease

A day is found above ground
Open eyes look around

LYRICS
Spitting camel
Spitting cobra
Less like mammal
Much more bizarre
Animal will mar
Animals we are

Set yourself free
Shed your frenzy
Dream fantasy
Maker reality

Venomous snake
Venomous mistake
Mama bear’s cub
The wrong-way rub
Tentacles sting
Birds on the wing

Chorus

LYRICS
The story of “Sam I Am”

I wasn’t even jamming
Noooo
I was just…
Sitting there
Discussing in a rational fashion
The events of the day
There were some big events that day
Come to be known as the tRump Roast
The arrogant boast the most

We weren’t making a sound
That could be heard
Anywhere around
When from out of nowhere
Ohhhhh no no
The Po-po
The Po-po said you gotta go
Go!
I said, “I dunno”

We were just sitting there
Exercising our civil rights
To discuss the events of the day in a neighborhood way
Nooo… we couldn’t just go
No, no, no
No go

LYRICS
Awoke from a slumber
A little bit dumber
A nightmarish dream
Where I turn obscene

How am I suppose to get any sleep
With this racket going on
Turns me into a creep
When this racket’s going on
How am I suppose to get any peace
With this racket going on
Gonna force you to cease
This racket that’s going on

2. Called the fuzz
To create a buzz
No reason… just ’cause
That’s what dumb does

Chorus

LYRICS
Wouldn’t ya say we resemble
How to peacefully assemble
Writing songs about freedom
Redress of grievances from the free dumb

Chorus
I had to tell the Po-po No! No!
Ya know, he didn’t know
Gay Church… Church and Gay
Bring your guitar and learn how to play

Perhaps you should dot your i’s and maybe cross your t’s
Before you confront me
Please don’t tread on me

Just because you’re walled-in
Doesn’t mean we gotta stop talkin’
While your face is turning green
The writing on the wall will be seen
