bookmark_borderThe War You Wage

LYRICS
Is the war you wage already won
Is the battle you choose one you’ll lose
Did you know
Easy come
Easy go

You wake in the morning to the rising sun
Before you know it, the day is done
Did you know
Easy come
Easy go

Running on a treadmill trying to get ahead
Only to find your aspiration is dead
Did you know
Easy come
Easy go

bookmark_borderA Dead Beat

LYRICS
If you can feel
I can feel can you feel
If you can feel
It’s real
If you can feel
You’re alive
It’s best to strive to stay alive
’cause it’s said when you’re dead
You’re not alive
A deadbeat in the music of life
So as long as you can feel
Consider it the definition of real

It’s the real deal

Why not survive
Stay alive
’cause it’s said when you’re dead
Well…
If you want to thrive
Stay alive
Or there’ll be no I
What good would just me be
There couldn’t be any us
Certainly, there would be any we
And, I like the way we compliment
When we implement
The meaning of life

So I can feel
That you’re real
’cause in this real deal
We feel
Though a rock might exist
It doesn’t fee
Knock on wood
A rock doesn’t feel
Unless you want to be a rock
You need to feel
And a worm can squirm
But you don’t want learn
That you’re just a worm
Feel the real deal

I can feel the real deal

LYRICS
Heading faster toward disaster
Wanna be lemmings jumping off a cliff myth
Going out in flames
Making boisterous claims

Have you heard of the herd
You know… buffalo… noooo… whoa
Going up in flames
Making boisterous claims

There’s a tale of a beached whale
Ohhhh… how it makes me wail
Going out in flames
Making boisterous claims

Heading faster and faster and faster
Toward disaster

LYRICS
There’s blood on the floor
There’s blood on the wall
Must be the downfall…
The downfall of us all

There’s kids with no shoes
Begging for food
We must be pitiful
The downfall of us all

Maybe it’s not too late
To participate
Create a wonderfall
A wonderfall for us all

A reigning of love
Falls from above
Cascades waves
A wonderfall on us all

There’s hope in the air
Peace will spread everywhere
May we heed the call
A wonderfall on us all

LYRICS
The way you scream and shout
Makes me doubt
Your reality
The way you scream and shout
Makes me wonder about
Your sanity
The way you scream and shout

The way you scream and shout
Casts doubt
On what you’re about
Unless indeed you’re in need
Of some aid
Then my presence will fade….

If there’s no trace
I won’t be in your face
But, the way you scream and shout
Is casting doubt
If there’s any sanity about
Any sanity about

Any sanity
In the vicinity
We’d love to see some sanity in the vicinity

If anyone out there can declare
That there is sanity in the vicinity
I’d love to see
Please make yourself known
(Can some be grown)
’cause we’re looking for clarity on sanity
Is there any?

Any sanity in the vicinity of me

LYRICS
I’ve been doing some thinking about how things are going
But, why look so grim
Immortality’s chances have always been slim (grim and dim)

I’ve been doing some thinking about where things are heading
But, why look so grim
Immortality’s chances have always been slim (grim and dim)

I’ve been doing some thinking about how things are going
The outlook is seldom dim
Keeping up the chin
(Then things are looking up)

LYRICS
Praying for world peace
And life’s second lease
Praying there’s a cure
For rotten to the core
We won’t face mortality
No trace of disease
Life will be heavenly
As we do what we please

Praying for some cash
The well-being of my cats
Praying my team wins
And the forgiveness of my sins

Chorus

Praying cancer free
That fortune finds me
Praying blind can see
Eradication of deformity

You hypnotize me
Made a monkey out of me
If I would have realized
I’ve been mesmerized
I would have opened my eyes

When you hypnotized me
You made a monkey out of me
Some kind of chimpanzee
When you hypnotized me
You made a monkey…
Some sort of chimpanzee
You made a monkey out of me

You hypnotized me

If I only could of realized
I was mesmerized
Does it come as a surprise
When you hypnotize me

LYRICS
Don’t know if it’s gonna snow
Ask my brain if it’s rain
Sunshine and rainbow
Just when I thought I had nothing to fear
Sure lookin’ like global warming is here

Will we survive the scary ride
There’s another record high tide
Praying flood waters will subside
Just when I thought I had nothing to fear
Sure lookin’ like global warming is here

Didn’t know the wind would blow
Fracture the structure… to and fro
I’m guessing that it’s time to go
Just when I thought I had nothing to fear
Sure lookin’ like global warming is here

How am I to beat the heat
When our fields are concrete
Even conceit’s gotta admit defeat
Just when I thought I had nothing to fear
Sure lookin’ like global warming is here

Where are you coming from
Are you true blue
Or filled with rhetoric and… come

Hit The Ground Running Part 2.mp3

LYRICS
Take off running when I hit the ground
Lookout scouting for what can be found
Gonna try to amaze for all my days
Finding ways through dismay’s haze

Shake-up churning hypocrites abound
Pining… yearning… in the baggage mound
Gonna try to ingest this Earth-fest
Cease when deceased and they lay me to rest

No need to cry over why
Alas, the past has passed
Going to keep my I (eye) lookin’ ahead
Reminiscing is for when I’m dead

LYRICS
If the puncture doesn’t cause a rupture
Try to capture a little bit of rapture
Juncture to the crossroads of the future
Then, we can play away
Live to see another day
As we all roam to our new home

If the pinprick unravels your bailiwick
Try to think quick what will do the trick
Lick the… kick the wicked out of the sick
Then, we can play away
Live to see another day
As we all roam to our new home

If the needle pierces your threshold
Then, you’ll need to loosen the chokehold
Indeed, ill needs to behold
Then, we can play away
Live to see another day
As we all roam to our new home

Can’t you see his life’s in jeopardy
Can we bear to kill another bear
Should be aware of the cross we’ll bear

Who’s more mighty… we or he

In their fight for me, me, me

First is past but last can’t be first
When the population bubble bursts
