The Judge

Posted on September 28, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Bits of fits and tantrums
Is what you’re all about
Clenched fists and war drums
Brings on a crying bout
Cry, baby, cry
Watching credibility die
Cry, baby, cry

Hissy fits… you’re yelling
It’s yourself you’re selling
Crying over id
’cause of what you did
Cry, baby, cry
Watching credibility die
Cry, baby, cry

Claim to be a judge
Yet, have no judgement
Character’s what’s meant
Your pedestal needs a nudge
Cry, baby, cry
Watching credibility die
Cry, baby, cry

Monster In Me

Monster In Me Overkill.mp3

LYRICS
A troll and a mole
Had a love child — wild!
Out of the hole
Far from mild — wild!
Too much juice
On the loose
Should you fear her
Look in the mirror
Be it numb or dumb
Where do you think you come from
Oh, Lord, kingdom come is done
Look at us — hideous
See the hair and nails?
Never fails
Skunk doesn’t smell its own hole
How droll

Won’t you play me
A “for free”
Song
A for free song
Doesn’t need to be long
Play me
For free
See you do your dues
Play me
No fee
To yourself be true
Start singing the blues

Won’t you play me
A “for free”
Tune
A for free tune
Before the next blue moon?

Won’t you play me
A “for free” melody
A for free melody
Would make me happy

Love Can Rule

Posted on September 19, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
When things are slowing
You’ve got to keep going
Got to keep showing
Nice being done twice

Done being the fool
Being the tool
The victim of cruel
Show ’em that love can rule

If life strays
… not going your way
It’s time to say
This is a new day

You were not born
To bear Man’s scorn
It’s time for you to see
The meaning of liberty
Head the call
Justice for all
Life — the pursuit of happiness
Yes, that’s what this is

Sneak Up

Posted on September 16, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
I’m thinking
Without blinking
Better come on slow
(Ya know?)
In your mind
Sneak up from behind

Out flank their flank
I thank
Think, thank, thunk
Royal flunk
Need to access how they flunk recess

I’m thinking
Without blinking
Better come on slow
(Ya know?)
In your mind
Sneak up from behind

Calamity Of Man

The point-of-view
You’re seeing through
Is it stressing you?
High anxiety
Testing sanity
You better run for cover
Run while you can
Shun disaster

You’re seeing through
Is it pressing you?

Have A Few

Posted on September 14, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Hane’t seen these guys
In a long, long time
Hope you don’t mind
If I drop the dime
Overdue
To have a few
How about you?
(I don’t know if you’ve been there, too?)

Another year’s gone by
Now please don’t cry
Sooner of later
We’re all gonna die
Overdue
To have a few
How about you?

It’s been so long
Since I set my eyes on you
Time it’s put to song
And maybe more than two
Overdue
To have a few
How about you?

Disturbing The Peace

Posted on September 12, 2018 by admin

I’ve had my fill
OF nice and peaceful
So nice and peaceful
I must be dead

When you have to strive
It makes you feel alive
So if there’s something to dread
It’s 6 feet under in bed
(chorus)

When you have to fret
About what you need to get
It makes your heart beat
So they can hear it down the street

Swinging from a tree
Like a chimpanzee
Nothing like being free
If you were to ask me
(chorus)

The best part to live
Is when you get to give
So before your cold and stiff
Give yourself a lift
(chorus)

Searching

Posted on September 11, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
If I only knew what I was looking for
Maybe I could find it
Then, find some more
If I only knew what I was looking for
Maybe I could find some more
And be sure
If I only knew what I was looking for

If I only knew where to look for it
Maybe I could find just a little bit
If I only knew where to look for it
Maybe if my light was lit
I’d find a bit
If I only knew where to look for it

If I only knew it’s in front of my eyes
Realize there’s no color or size
If I only knew it’s in front of my eyes
Surprise! There’s no color or size
Realize the prize
If I only knew it’s in front of my eyes

Bat Out Of Hell

Posted on September 10, 2018September 10, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Like a bat out of hell
Flying
Say that it’s just as well
Dying
If they crucify
Won’t you please come back again
Eye for an eye
Left us all in sin
Instead of being kind
Now we’re all blind

Sometimes it’s hard to tell
Whying
Believe in what they sell
Lying

Hoping we adjust to jell
Jamming
Coming out of you shell
Awing
Jaw dropping

Blue Tail Fly

Posted on September 9, 2018 by admin

Traditional Folk Song

  G                                  D
 When I was young I used to wait
                                 G
 On the master and hand him his plate,
G7                                     C
And Pass the bottle when he got dry,
        D                        G
 And brush away the blue tail fly.

G                                   D
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
                              G
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
G7                                 C
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
       D              G
My master's gone away.

And when he ride in the afternoon,
I follow with a hickory broom;
The pony being very shy,
When bitten by the blue tail fly.

One day he rode around the farm,
The flies so numerous they did swarm;
One chanced to bite him on the thigh.
The devil take that blue tail fly.

The pony run, he jump and pitch,
And tumble mater in the ditch;
He died, and the jury wondered why;
The verdict was the blue tail fly.

They buried him 'neath the sycamore tree -
His epitaph there for to see:
"Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie,
The victim of a blue-tailed Fly."

Is That Right?

Posted on September 7, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Is that right?
Is that what they say
Is that right
Righteousness right this way
I should have seen it coming
The proof is in the pudding
Righteousness oozing and running
Is that right?
Is that what they say
Is that right?
Well, that’s not O.K.
Is that right?
Brain farted delay
Is that right?
Not right! Touché
Is that right?
Righteous decay

Wake Up And Dream

Posted on September 3, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
You know it must be getting deep
Catch yourself running
In your sleep
Blood curdling scream
Doesn’t make a peep
Time to awake
The reality leap
You know it must be getting weird
While you’re dreaming
You grew a beard
First day of class
And as you feared
Naked, lost
The room cleared

Wake up and dream
Be the light beam
Rise up — the cream
Blow off — the steam

Posted on August 27, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
If it’s a minor offense
Why take such offense
Such a major offense
If it’s a minor offense
Why take offense
Defensive is what it is
For sure
Your posture
Pasteurized
Posturing
Past your eyes
Yes it is
Defensive
Past your eyes
Posturing
