LYRICS
If the future is coming on
Sure hope we’re not going wrong
If the future is coming on
Sure appears it’s coming on
Strong
Coming on strong
Hope we haven’t gone wrong
#ucked up mucked up
The road
The path
In this wrath
Mother lode
The future is coming on strong
I’m thinking…
Did we go wrong?
What were we thinking
I’m thinking the path we’ve left is stinking
Somewhat worried
Somewhat concerned
We didn’t learn
The road to the mother lode
The future
Are you sure
We didn’t go wrong
’cause it’s coming on strong
LYRICS
Once we climb the mountain, it’s all downhill
Once we climb the mountain, it’s all downhill
Downhill
Still, until…
We gotta climb oh so high
Still, until…
We must get by
Let’s head to the sky
Once we climb the mountain, it’s all downhill
The sky opens up and dumps it’s rain
Dumps it’s reign
Let it fall over the fool
As we climb up, let the love shine down
Let the love be found
All downhill
Using freewill
All downhill
Using freewill
We’ll pray to do what’s right
You know it’s in sight
Let is rock and roll downhill
It’s all downhill
Let the rock roll
Let the rock roll downhill
And, we will instill
The will of living
And giving
Until the last drop
Giving non-stop

LYRICS
We’re in step
To the promised land
In a marching band
A reggae… funky reggae marching band
Pick up a flute or pickup a lute
A mandolin or violin
Pick up whatever you can get into
We’re getting in step
Left right it’s alright
Left right left right
We left left right
Left left for right
We’re getting in step
With a reggae marching band
In step to thee promised land
If you want to joins hands
Hand in hand in step to the promised land
This marching reggae band
This reggae marching band
LYRICS
All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution
Son, had you begun in Ferguson?
Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore
You can’t hate hate unless you partake
You can’t take part with what’s at stake
When you behave all irate… at any rate
There’s a moral lack when you strike back
At others not involved in your attack
Doesn’t matter whether they’re a shade of grey, white or black
It’s just a matter of fact
That ain’t no way to act
Is it any wonder they wanna put you in a cage
The way you behave all in a rage
You’re more likely to engage as a sage
Put a The End to that book… and look to a blank page
All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution
Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore?
No more! No more!
Get in to it
With intuition
Get in to it
With intuition
It’s kind-of like a premonition
With very little… maybe no…
Superstition
Get into it
Intuition
In the shell of a nut
You’ll feel it in your gut
There will be no if, and, or, but
You’ll feel it in your gut
Got to get into it
Intuition
(Keyboard Jam)
Intuition
When you get to know know you know the flow
You go, you go, you go
You within the flow
See the me inside of me
I get into it… in to intuition
It’s kind-of like a premonition
With very little superstition
From the gut
No if, and, or, but
LYRICS
A fight to the finish
In our fragile space capsule
A race to The End of the human race
Living to diminish
Our fragile space capsule
Modern Age rage flailing in disgrace
LYRICS
Perhaps some sort-of bumble going on in the jungle
When I looked at the end of my arm
I could see a mirror looking back at me
Ohhh, I think I get it
The conspiracy is me
1,2,3
A conspiracy of me
Ohhh, yeah… I’m starting to see
The conspiracy is me
The conspiracy in me
What the difference between you and me
And we
If you’re talking about the conspiracy in me

Album notes for the yet to be completed concept album… haa… sorry, I mumble about the bungle of The Jungle.
Look up to the sky… please tell me
It’s a mumble
Why’d we bungle the jungle?
oh you ask oh why they foul the sky
they mumble why they fouled the jungle
look up to the sky
what do you see
please tell me
It’s a mumble why the bungle of the jungle
You mumble why you bumble the jungle?
—-
The bungle
The jungle
When I ask people why you foul the sky
’cause I wonder why
It’s just a mumble
Why bungle the jungle
When you look into the sky
Does it make you want to cry
Does it make you wonder why
When I was why
When you ask why
When we ask why
There’s a stumble on the words
A mumble of words
Why the bungled jungle
Destruction
From your construction
Of your mumbled bumbled ways
Twhat did you say
I C’nt hear you

soundcheck
starts with instrumental F# ambient atmosphere… F# F#m … Daug… and… when we kick in, it’s reggae at 80 beats per minute

LYRICS
Check, check…
Check this out
This is a song
It’s the soundcheck for the song
That we’re hoping to call “the party”
It’s a ska tune at 128 beats per minute
We’re working with this new Vox effects… pedal thing… we got it kinda for free at Sam Ash… it’s called the Vox Tone Lab… and it’s like C
If you wanna be free… the boogie… and, just doesn’t do it for we
Children going round and round
It’s getting down, down, down
To me
To me
Once we put the other further
Less and less will suffer
I can feel you….
And, you can, too
Then, you can see
You contribute to me
And, I to you, too
And, we sing in harmony
Once we see harmony
Harm no me
When you get down to the bass
The bass in the lower space
The bass takes over the lower space
The mid’s in middle
Not much of a riddle
Once the pieces fall together
(Feels natural)
Don’t ask why
Don’t let the middle pass by
And, the high
For you and I
When you get down to the bass
The basics
Of the music
Don’t let the high pass by
Once you get down to the basics
Of the music
It’s not a riddle of the middle
The basics of the music
It was originally titled the Party because of political parties… but, I forgot that part once the soundcheck started. I liked the soundcheck enough to just keep it. Anyway, it’s more about getting the parts of music together rather than governments. What the heck, feel free to take it either way.

LYRICS
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
Creating a brand new beat
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
A beat to get ’em off their seat
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
With a groove to make ’em move
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
Move as though nothing to prove
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
Creating a brand new beat
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
A beat to get ’em on their feet
LYRICS
Would you consider me a loon
If I insist we’re living on the moon
Can’t I see that’s lunacy?
Yet we won’t believe in reality
The Earth’s getting hot, hot, hot
Before you know it, we’ll be not
It’s not surprising
The temperatures rising
Is all logic forgot?
What kind-of ticket have we bought
Time we take some giant steps
To our balance there are checks
Yup, giant steps are what we take
If we could only awake
Yup, giant steps are what we take
Leaps and bounds from the fake
142 Beats Per Minute / Reggae (with some inspiration from the Police song “Walking On The Moon”)
The song is about the human race not taking responsibility for global warning and other “real life” man-made atrocities… while getting all wrapped up in make-believe and conspiracies.
Written and recorded West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA.
