LYRICS
The times are changing… changing fast
Won’t be long ’till the future’s past
Yeah, time is changing… sure hope it’ll last
But you can’t hang on….
Better off letting go
Better off… just let it flow
The times are changing… to the future we go
Won’t be long ’till the future we know
Yeah, time moves faster until I slow
Use to be my lifetime was a whole year
Now a year’s a fraction of my time here

LYRICS
There’s a monkey in the circus
And he’s dressed like us
There’s a monkey in the circus
And he walks like us
There’s a monkey in the circus
Reminds us of us
(a little too much like us)
There’s a lion in the zoo
Thinks he’s king of us, too
There’s a lion in the zoo
But he’s caged like us, too
There’s a lion in the zoo
Are we lying to ourselves, too?
There’s a man in our home
So we’re not alone
There’s a man in our home
Saying it ain’t ours to own
There’s a man in our home
Turns out I’m his clone
There’s a man in our home
Guess I’m not alone

LYRICS
Shocking! But, nothing new
Shocking… that no one knew
You discovered it’s true
What are you gonna do?
Now it’s been found
The Earth is round
So, there goes that
With it being flat
Not only that that
But as a matter of fact
It spins around going around and around the sun
No, my wit has not become undone
You see it’s nor heresy, blasphemy nor insanity
It’s been true all the while
Just took us a while to fine the need-le in pile
Shocking! But, nothing new
Shocking… that no one knew
You discovered it, too
What are you gonna do?

LYRICS
Preoccupied with the unimportant
Deplete the brain to be ignorant
#1’s winning the rat race
Loosing humanity in the haste
Laid to waste
Time for us to focus
Try to deny all that is important
Nemesis comes to the arrogant
Unaware there’s egg on the face
Hubris falls in utter disgrace
Loosing humanity in the haste
Laid to waste
Time for us to focus

LYRICS
There goes someone with too much cash
Over concerned with how to make it last
Worry away the best of their days
Worry away in so many ways
If you worry beyond today
Maybe you’ve too much any way?
There goes someone with too much time
Over concerned with “me, my, my, mine”
Chorus
There goes someone with too much freedom
Over concerned terrorists will come
Chorus
There goes someone with too much conceit
Under constant threat of defeat

A song about greed and overabundance. Written in Blue Bell, Montgomery County, PA about the population of Blue Bell. It’s always interesting to me when playing out… that the wealthiest zip codes are home to the most selfish people.

LYRICS
Why don’t you go ahead and get it
Stutter stuck on a blabber habit
Monday morning quarterback
Backseat driver annoyance knack
Are you aware
The answer’s right there
Come as a surprise
It’s right before your eyes
Why don’t you get up and go
Instead of stuck on “I don’t know”
How are you going to save face
If you’ve never even been in the race
Why don’t you go ahead and get it
Stutter stuck on a blabber habit
Monday morning quarterback
Backseat driver experience lack

LYRICS
How did I end up here
Situations not clear
A man with a badge standing there
Acting like he doesn’t care
Don’t just stand and stare
Who ever said life is fair?
Only thing to fear is fear
Holdin’ on to things too dear
It’s time we are more aware
And car isn’t so rare
Time to awake
Goodness for goodness sake
Which direction will we go
Does anybody really know
Caught in a rift adrift
Missing the daily gift
Remember along the way
To give thanks for every day

LYRICS
I thought it’d all been said
That’s when it entered my head
If no one’s listening
’cause ears are blistering
Deaf, dumb and blind to being kind
I thought she’d been put to bed
That’s when she rose from the dead
Chorus
The last chapter’s been read
On which path were you led

Are you seeing white or seeing red
Choose the right to be invested

LYRICS
What message do you want to send
Your intent and what is meant
I’ll be your servant… just call me Sir Vent
Oh, Lord, what can I do
Who can I serve you?
Come from a tribe of scribes
No corruption. No bribes.
Just tell me what you want to
I’ll get the message through
Do what I have to, too
To convey what you say
A bugle to blow… a trumpet
Where it is wrong went

In the event of severe weather
The question won’t be “Now?” or whether
Message sent —
“Severe weather event”
It seems our dreams of climate change are coming true
Pray tell, well… what will we do?

The wrath of God you can see in the sea
Ominous clouds forebode what’s to be

Is there more?
#1
Can’t be won
’til you’re sure
There’s much more
Do you throw a fit
Being a benefit
Are you at a loss
If you’re not a cost
Cry n’ wine
All the time
Nothing’s fine
Me, my, mine
[Read my mind: No me, my, mine]

There’s heaven
#1
Next to none
Lovely…
More than me

LYRICS
Left me sitting here in the dark
Maybe it’s time for a little spark
Inconsiderate
Sorry doesn’t make-up for a sin
Especially when you do it again and again
Inconsiderate
Then you say you forgot to pay
When you get a chance, you’ll send it my way
Then when you pray you forget to say
“Lord, how may I serve you?”
Consider it
Inconsiderate

LYRICS
Have you ventured too far
“Who do you think you are?”
Lady? Bug! Lady? Bug!
Fly away home
Lady? Bug! Lady? Bug!
Leave them alone
Will you push them too far
Forcing them to fly
Will you push them too far
’till they say bye-bye
Chorus
Now you’ll take your own test
In your empty-nest-ness
Baby’s grown and flown
Now you’re on your own
