LYRICS
I had this crazy notion
To create a concoction — Love Potion
I had this crazy notion
To create a concoction
Love potion
A love potion
Spreadin’ from ocean to ocean
Upon suggestion
Create a concoction
Injection
Straight to the heart
Like Cupid’s arrow
And a bow… ya know?
Straight through the heart
A love potion
Can you help the love grow
Spread it from ocean to ocean
Could be the solution
To our situation
The creation
Of a concoction
A love potion
A love potion
Set in motion
Love potion
Solution to our situation
Our hell-bound self-annihilation
We need some new ventilation
It’s hard to breath
I think our hearts will seize
And our brains will freeze
A love potion
If we start to look in our heart
The soul-ution will be the potion
And the potion will spread from ocean to ocean

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
