Pleased to meet you
How do you do?
Pleased to greet you
It’s something knew
Wouldn’t it be nice
To meet everyone
Once or twice
To understand
Human
Communicate
Worldwide
Network
A guide
Participate
In a survey
Of every*
Every being
Seeing
A census
Of senses

B / Cm Dim / Bm
Peering at my peers
I see their fears
Of being different
Making them intolerant
Of those that are
Peering at my peers
I see their fears
Of being slightly odd
Making them rob
The innocence
Of those that are
Peering at my peers
I see their fears
Of being somewhat strange
Making them re-arrange
Their arrogance
A bit too far
There go
Id and ego
Rampaging
Super ego
Locked up tight
Trample my right
To be free
To be me
What a pity
Their conformity
What a shame
To ruin the game
Hey, robot!
Why not
Get loose
And, lighten up
Over the hump
You choose
Your cage
You choose
Your age
C / C7 / Gm / Bb
The summer
Came and went
So quickly
Now, the fall
Is settling in
The numb-er
Is the gent
Who luckily
Missed the ball
In oblivion
Unaware
It’s the season
Of Change
Unaware
There’s reason
To re-arrange
Unaware
Or doesn’t care
To share
Soon winter
Will arrive
Moving closer
To a new year
To a new age
Sets the stage
For “all clear”
No more loser
Left alive
Come together
The fall
Will be over
And all
Come together
Fall over
Tell me this again:
Time is growing thin
Many will lose
And, some may win
The who whose
Baring a grin
Looked within
And, gave throughout
The entire route
From birth to death
Earns worth
One second’s value
Is the same as two
The value holds true
I can’t save time
For a rainy day
I can’t accumulate
At any rate
Time
I’m
To emulate
My potential
The energy in me
Make my genetic
Kinetic
The value in me
Figure how
To find the value
In now
One second’s value
Is the same as two…
Or more
The value holds true
For sure
Put meant
In every
Moment
Make very
Important
The present
I just can’t wait
No, I can’t wait
I just can’t wait
I anticipate the date of our fate
When we see
Our destiny
We set a course in motion
And, according to Newton
We’re about to learn
That this object in motion
Is going to destruct
Under it’s own propulsion
I just can’t wait
Anticipate the date of our fate
Where we collapse
Under our own weight
Do we love to love
Do we love to hate
Do we hate hate?
Tick Tock Tick Tock
If you are feeling down
And, your smile turned to frown
Well, look around
At what can be found
What can you do?
It’s really nothing new
Just raise your voice on high
Shout to the sky
Say a prayer out loud
Above the crowd
Maybe you’ll receive mercy
Mercy, mercy, mercy
I try my best
Not to have you pity me
If you are feeling down
And, your smile turned to frown
What would you say
If I was thinking
We could be sinking
Just take a look around
And, see what you see
And, can it
Really be?
Disrespect the rock
Disrespect the land
Disrespect the tree
Can’t you see?
We can’t go on and on and on
To infinity
Can’t you see
Can’t we see
Don’t we see
Cause I
Ya, know I
I could be thinking
That we’re sinking
I could be thinking
That we are sinking
Human Induced Climate Change Experiment
Ozone Pollution And Extinction
Is It The End Of The World As We Know It?
What you want
Can’t always be
Achieved as conceived
If only…
What you want
You’ll always need
Unless you concede
To succeed
Never bleed
If you could only read the signs
Because they’re everywhere
If we were aware
To pay a little bit of attention
To what’s around
The answer’ld be found
What we want
You’ll always need
Unless we concede
To succeed
A flood of blood
We’ll bleed
Unless we have faith
In heaven above
Unless we have faith
In the power of love
We’ll always want
What we need
We’ll always need
What we want
lyrics
Whatcha gonna say
When the angels come to take you away
Will you fall to your knees and pray
When the angels come to take you away?
Will you wish it were another day
When the angels come to take you away?
Will you wish it were another day
When the angels come to take you away?
Will you fall to your knees and pray?
Whatcha gonna say
When the angels come to take you away
Whatcha gonna say
When the angels come to take you away
On your judgment day
Will you wish this day would fade away
Oh, well
It’s hot way down way down way down
If I fell
Would you pick me up
If I cry
Would you dry my eye
Will you offer me solace
Or, will you run and hide?
Whatcha gonna say
When the angels come to take you away
To your judgment day
When you get to the pearly gate
Will you pause
Will you hesitate
When they ask you
“What is your fate?”
Oh, well
Oh, well
I hear it’s hot in hell
Hear the bell?
For whom does the bell toll
Whom does the bell toll for
In the end
It’s not a sound you can ignore
Did you live your life
Good and full
For whom does the bell toll?
What will you say
When you meet your maker
Are you a giver
Or taker?
About The Song
The song is extemporaneous. A Casio keyboard workstation, mixboard and vocal microphone were recorded using an M-Audio Microtrack 24/96.
lyrics
Are we getting the fun out, yet?
We don’t want it to be our dying regret
It’s something we forget
Are we getting the fun out, yet?
Look what you chose
What will you choose
Wanna win or wanna loose?
Are we getting the fun out, yet?
God knows
Misery blows
’cause God knows
Misery blows

lyrics
You shouldn’t have done it at all
I sure hate watchin’ ya fall
Shouldn’t have dont it
Shouldn’t have done it
Done it, done it, no….
Shouldn’t have done it at all
You feed on the dastardly deed
Shouldn’t have done it at all
I sure hate watchin’ ya fall
Though I hear your call
I fear you’re null
Though, I hear your call
And, there’s no quell
I fear you’re null
About The Song
This song was written and recorded on-the-fly with an M-Audio portable digital recorder.
The subject matter is about a person who creates a vortex… a spiraling downward… due to hate and destruction. In the end, they destroy their own empire, not their enemies.
Song Title: Back Stabbers
Made famous by The O’Jays
Cover version is simply a Mess
(What they do!)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)
All you fellows who have someone and you really care, yeah, yeah
Then it’s all of you fellows who better beware, yeah yeah
Somebody’s out to get your lady
A few of your buddies they sure look shady
Blades are long, clenched tight in their fist
Aimin’ straight at your back
And I don’t think they’ll miss
(What they do!)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)
I keep gettin’ all these visits from my friends, yeah, what they doin to me
They come to my house again and again and again and again, yeah
So are they there to see my woman
I don’t even be home but they just keep on comin’
What can I do to get on the right track
I wish they’d take some of these knives off my back
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)
Low down… dirty…
(What they do!)
(They smile in your face)
Smiling faces… smiling faces sometimes tell lies (Back stabbers)
(They smile in your face)
I don’t need… low down, dirty bastards (Back stabbers)
XX (aka peter’d out and double crossed)
Have you ever had a friend,
That petered out?
Is that how you found out,
What they-r ‘ll about?
Have you ever been double crossed?
Stiffed? Stuffed? Stripped?
Have you ever been double crossed?
Mished. Mashed. Messed.
Too bad for their fate,
But, don’t let it get you irate!
Better to find out,
What they-r ‘ll about,
Before it’s too late,
And, they castrate…
Berate… degenerate.
Noooo… I choose to create!
Give ’em enough rope,
To prove their scope,
They define:
Lifeline?
Or, is their definition too loose,
As they build (fasten) their own noose?
Have you ever had a friend,
That petered out?
Is that how you found out,
What they-r ‘ll about?
Have you ever been double crossed?
Stiffed? Stuffed? Stripped?
Have you ever been double crossed?
Mished. Mashed. Messed.
I sure hope She comes my way,
In fact, that’s what I pray,
And, She continues… to this day,
To keep on passing my way.
I hope She comes my way,
I mean… that’s just it,
I don’t mind a bit,
When She should pass my way.
Up until my judgement day,
I’ll continue to act this way,
As long as I have my way,
I’ll follow what She has to say.
I won’t let her pass me by,
I’ll continue to try n’ try,
To continue by Her side,
To continue to try n’ try,
To continue to continue to abide.
Cover Version of
BANG THE DRUM ALL DAY
originally made famous by Todd Rundgren
cover version is simply a Mess
I don’t want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don’t want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
Ever since I was a tiny boy
I don’t want no candy
I don’t need no toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing ’til I got
Blisters on my hand
because… chorus
When I get older they think I’m a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks was so hot
I made the teacher wanna dance
And that’s why… chorus
Listen to this
Every day when I get home from work
I feel so frustrated
The boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And I pound on that drum like it was the boss’s head
Because… chorus
I can bang that drum
Hey, you wanna take a bang at it?
I can do this all day
