Posted on by admin

[Silence]

[Instrumental: Hohner Clavinet, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, sub-bass, organ, percussion, drums]

[Intro]
Funk that love!
(Funk it up!)
Hands to the sky
(Never give up!)

Feel that beat
(Feel that ground)
All of the people
(Comin’ around!)

[Verse 1]
From the forests to the plains
Through the sunshine, through the rains
Ancient rhythms, future sound
Feel the heartbeat underground

Circle turning, feet in time
Every culture, every rhyme
Different stories, different ways
One world dancing through the days!

[Pre-Chorus]
Indigenous dancers
(You’re universal)
You’re all… (we’re all)
Dancers

[Chorus]
Hate is reigning
(Raining from the high heavens)
Hate is raining
(Raining down)
Down, down, down

Time to rise
(Surprise!)
Let the love
(Rise above)
Rise high n’ shine
(Let the love)
Rise above…
(Rise above)
… love

[Verse 2]
Hear the drums across the land
Feel the rhythm, take my hand
No more walls to keep us apart
Let the music move your heart

From the desert to the sea
There’s a place for you and me
Respect the roots, protect the ground
Let the love and life abound!

[Pre-Chorus]
Indigenous dancers
(You’re universal)
You’re all… (we’re all)
Dancers

[Chorus]
Hate is reigning
(Raining from the high heavens)
Hate is raining
(Raining down)
Down, down, down

Time to rise
(Surprise!)
Let the love
(Rise above)
Rise high n’ shine
(Let the love)
Rise above…
(Rise above)
… love

[Bridge]
[Instrumental: Bass Solo, Percussion, Drum Fills]

[Rap vocal breakdown]
Shake n’ bake
(Wake!)
Shake n’ bake
(Wake!)

Move your feet
(Feel the heat!)
Move your soul
(Make it whole!)

Shake n’ bake
(Wake!)
Shake n’ bake
(Wake!)

Break that chain
(Stop the pain!)
Let love flow
(That’s the show!)

[Dance Break]
Funk that love!
(Bring it on!)
Funk that love!
(From dusk till dawn!)

Step to the left
(Step to the right)
Dance for the day
(Dance through the night)

Round and round
(Feet off the ground)
Love is the rhythm
(Spread it around!)

[Bridge]
[Instrumental: Bass Solo, Percussion, Drum Fills]
Shake n’ bake
(Wake!)
Shake n’ bake
(Wake!)

[Instrumental: Psychedelic Jam, Synth and Organ Duel]

[Pre-Chorus]
Indigenous dancers
(You’re universal)
You’re all… (we’re all)
Dancers

[Final Chorus]
Hate is reigning
(Raining from the high heavens)
Hate is raining
(Raining down from hell)
Oh, well!
(Down, down, down)

Time to rise
(Surprise!)
Let the love
(Rise above)
Rise high n’ shine
(Let the love)
Rise above…
(Rise above)
… love

Hate is raining
(But love keeps growing)
Hate is reigning
(But love keeps flowing)

Time to rise
(Surprise!)
Let the love
(Rise above)
Rise high n’ shine
(Let the love)
Rise above…
(Rise above)
… love!

[Outro]
Indigenous dancers
(You’re universal)
You’re all… (we’re all)
Dancers!

Shake n’ bake
(Wake!)
Funk that love
(For goodness’ sake!)

Rise above…
(Rise above)
… love!

Funk that love!
(Funk it! Funk it!)
Funk that shhhhhh….
(It… funk!)

[Intro]
Way-O…
(Weigh, oh…)
Way-oh-oh-oh!

[Verse 1]
What’s it worth?
(What’s it weigh?)
Is it heavy
(Or just in the way?)

[Pre-Chorus]
Left or right?
(Black or white?)
What’s the weight
(Of your fate?)

[Refrain]
Way-O
(Weigh, oh)
Way-oh-oh-oh

Weighing on you
(No way with me)
I see clearly…
(What I wanna do)

[Verse 2]
You’ve got a load
(You’ve got a choice)
You can carry every worry
(Or listen to your voice)

Is it weighing on your shoulders?
(Or weighing on your mind?)
Maybe what you’re looking for
(Is what to leave behind)

[Refrain]
Way-O
(Weigh, oh)
Way-oh-oh-oh

Weighing on you
(No way with me)
I see clearly…
(What I wanna do)

[Bridge]
[Half-Time Drums, Psychedelic Guitar Echo]

Way…
(Let’s hear you say:)
Weigh…
(Lighten up the day

(Wait!)
Don’t let somebody else’s burden
(Become your weight)

[Instrumental]
[Surf Guitar Solo / Organ / Handclaps / Tambourine]
Way-oh-oh-oh!
(Weigh, oh!)
Way-oh-oh-oh!
(No way!)

[Final Refrain]
Way-O
(Weigh, oh)
Way-oh-oh-oh

[Outro]
Weighing on you
(No way with me)
I see clearly…
(What I wanna do)

Way-O
(Weigh, oh)
Way-oh-oh-oh

[Surf Guitar Fades, Group Vocals]
Way-O…
(Weigh, oh…)

Way-oh-oh-oh…

Say:
(Out of the weigh!)

Gonna give it a whirl
In good ‘ole East Earl

[chorus]
What’s “birthday” mean to you
Going to Shady Maple, too
For an all you can eat

You can have your cake
And, eat it, too
Sampling apple dumpling

Are you telling me
All you an eat for free?

For service n’ smiles
Another run around the sun
When it’s all said and done
Can’t wait ’til next year
When my birthday draws near
Heading back to East Earl
For another whirl

LYRICS
Grab your hoe
Come on let’s go
What we reap is what we sow
Probably should water good
Adding to the neighborhood

[chorus]
Generation germination
Pant my seed
Grows like a weed

Hey, maybe our baby
Falls close to the tree..
Guess we’ll see
Probably
Sprout nine months out
Isn’t that what life’s about
[chorus]

Sometime soon… around noon
Shady Maple’s fork and spoon
Pops, son n’ me… family three
Generations dinning happily

Chords: Em

LYRICS
What the hell?
Clear-as-a-bell
See-saw
Teeter tottering
On the brink
Civil-annihilation
Humanitarian
Starvation
Historian
Degradation
Can I count on you
To lean into
Terrestrial realization
Down to earth birth
Singing earthlings
Sky blue blues
They say
They went away
Turned gray

Crawl out of the fright
Crawl in into the light
Walk out of the night
Talk of the found light

Music – Reinhart / Brouse
Lyrics – Brouse

Daniel – Drums, Keyboards, Vocals
Matt Eck – Banjo
James – Audience
Chords: Dm D

LYRICS
Walking down the street
Head buried deep
Shedding all mystique
Into the crosswalk creep
Really not that far
From being hit by a car
Oblivious
To all of us

Before you end up old
Come out of your own world
Before you end up dead
Listen to what you said

How come you’re in the midst of Vietnam
Lost calm… a pig slaughtered… turned to ham
Singing the Napalm Psalm Song
Head in the sand for how long?
Do you think we might
See the new day’s light?

LYRICS
Welcome to the air
My Dear
Though I know not how you breath
Yet, it’s clear you’re here
So, now I know
My eyes to believe
How the scales fit your hips
On the other hand
How to understand
You’ve hands and lips?
How can we meet
How can we complete compete
With survival
Of all
As the fittest
At best
Our quest
To be we
(Oui, oui)

Will you be my Mayan mermaid
And, I’ll try to be your humane human man?
Maid/made please don’t clean my memory
Of what my third-eye can see

LYRICS
St. Dennis Fair
Been there?
St. Dennis Fair
Are you, too?

A stilt walking musician
Said, “I’ll meet you there.”
Where a larger than life
Ferris wheel
Became real
Talk about zeal
To the beat
IN the summer heat
Hot girls hot
In their tube-tops
Trying not
To run from cops
If it starts to rain
Will we remain
In your stride
On the ride
Going roundabout
Guys shout
Gals scream
Living the dream

LYRICS
Though people may scoff
Truth they can’t con
Wax on
Wax off
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues

Gonna find that buzz
Make it was
Gonna grind that hum
’till pure when done
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues

Come on! Fix the mix
Give balance a chance
A lil’ more keys
If you please
We’ll let the bass
Melt your face
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues
