LYRICS
Doing this and doing that
It’s not clear
Where is there
Or if I’m here
Feeling overdue
So something simple will do
Are you feeling it, too?
Do you feel it? Do you?

Running here n’ running there
It’s not clear
Where is there
Or if I’m near

Feather ruffle caught up in the shuffle
It’s not clear
What is what
Or should I fear?

Get a grip n’ take a dip
It’s come clear
There is there
And I’m right here

LYRICS
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
When at first I did arrive
They say when I became alive
Those were the days of freedom
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
With each day it did erode
With every flush of the commode
Insane! Down the drain with freedom
How come?
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
Now be careful what you say
We had better “walk this way”
Watching freedom fray… how come?
Freedom
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
A little more every day
Slipping, slipping, slipping away
who let the freedom come undone?
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?

LYRICS
If it all falls together
All depends on whether
We call
(after all if we call after all)
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

If we all pull together
The chances of whether
Fall
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

If we all get together
Decide what’s “whether”
We’ll quell
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

If we all join together
A crier / choir of “whether”
Hall / haul
(concert hall / sound haul)
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

LYRICS
No, I’m not being lazy
Nor am I going crazy
Is your vision hazy?
In my vision
I’m on a mission
To go from fission
To fusion
Am I the only one
Think how happy we could be
As part of a nuclear family

No, I’m not being lazy
Nor am I going crazy
Is your vision hazy?
In my dream
We create a scene
Totally void of mean
(Know what I mean?)
Once we’ve all seen
The light of atomic energy
Can shine for eternity

Where are you going
Aware… or not knowing?
Rabbit’s circle jump off track
Never looking back
Do you feel the coup
Of the loopity lou
Can you tell me where you’re going to?

Being a bleeder follow the leader
Stampede off a cliff
Hey! Lemmings, to be seceder
Gotta ask “what if?”

Bling lead the bling ain’t being kind
Need I remind
We gotta take a stance where we stand
Do you understand?

LYRICS
Why do you think it is…
Is turns to was?
What’s all the fuss
What’s all the buzz
’cause I’m telling ya…
It always does

When do you think will…
Will stand still?
Hoping it’s long until
We lose that thrill
’cause I’m asking ya…
Have you had your fill?

Now find out how…
How is right now
Maybe time will allow
Us to love the “wow!”
’cause she’s telling us
Seize the here and now
Turning sword into plough
Sowing seeds that endow

LYRICS
One at a time
Going down the line
Two at a time
Double-down divine
Feeling fine

And what about
Three strikes you’re out
Before four
Just need one more
Four sure

Barely alive
Passing by five
Not a peep
At six feet deep
… that’s deep!

Dead on
Hit the nail on the head
Carry on
Unflail the dread
Dawned on
Enlightened my head
Beyond
where the logic led
Philosophy wed
(Fertile field bred)

Thinking about the blood flow
Making it go head to toe
I amaze myself
With physical existence wealth
Don’t even need to think to blink
Nor flick a switch to start the heart
Into the craze
Of the ways that amaze

Drive, body, drive

LYRICS
I find it most compelling
That you are yelling
“Down in front!”
I find it most revealing
That you are screaming
“Down in front!”
Why not just get up
And put your feet on your seat
Please give it up
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
To the beat

I find it most relieving
That you’re believing
Up upfront!
The zest you’re retrieving
Makes me feel I’m living
“Down in front!”

Why not just get up
And put your feet on your seat
Please give it up
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
To the beat

LYRICS
Which came first, the chicken or the egg…
I beg?
Why did the chicken cross the road…
Please unload?
Can you be freed if never caged
Or live a life unengaged?

If a tree falls in a vacant forest, does it make a sound…
Please resound?
Knock, knock! Who’s there…
Are you aware?
Can you be freed if never caged
Or live a life unengaged?

When first come last and last first…
Will you thirst?
At the crossroads: the devil, your soul…
What’s the toll?
Can you be freed if never caged
Or live a life unengaged?

African or European, your sparrow…
If asked to narrow?
Would you bet the sun to set, yet…
Still stand still?
Can you be freed if never caged
Or live a life unengaged?

Rock the clock like Bangkok (+12 hours)
Ya ought ‘a Jakarta (+12)
Come on, Boy, like Hanoi (+12)
You know you can even go to Tokyo? (+14)
Living in a time zone
Where I’m prone
To run fast
Living in a time zone
Where mind’s blown
Free at last

Want to start slow? Try Oslo (+6)
Or way down in Freetown (+5)
Time flies by? Try Dubai (+9)
As for me, I’m rarin’ like a Yarenian (+17)
Living in a time zone
Where I’m prone
To run fast
Living in a time zone
Where mind’s blown
Free at last

Still standing still in Guayaquil? (same time)
Or minus a few in Honolulu (-5)
Come on Ketchup to Hamburg (+6)
Gonna do what I can do in Katmandu (+10:45)

Where I’m prone

Living in a time zone
Where mind’s blown

The New Sedition.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
A song inspired by Iran’s supreme leader and the protests of the “New Sedition”:

Supreme Leader Khamenei has blamed the protests on enemies of Iran. And, today, the commander of the elite Revolutionary Guard sent troops into three provinces to put down what he called the new sedition.

Iran’s supreme leader was in a supremely sarcastic mood Tuesday as he gave a speech to a sea of military officials. His target: Trump’s first foreign policy moves.

“We actually thank this new president! We thank him, because he made it easier for us to reveal the real face of the United States,” said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a transcript posted on his official website. “… Now, with everything he is doing — handcuffing a child as young as 5 at an airport — he is showing the reality of American human rights.”

LYRICS
That which lay before us
Lie no more
The scales of justice / just us
Heard roar
Herd roar
All of us
Which lay before
The scales of justice… just us
Skating, skating on the thin ice
Maybe, maybe should have thought twice
Icing, icing on the cake
Shaked and baked before you wake
Now the toll you took, they take
Naughty, naughty could have been nice
Skating, skating on the thin ice
Maybe, maybe should have thought twice

I tell no lie
I say, if you look at it this way
That which lay before us
Heard roar
Herd roar
All of us
Which lay before
The scales of justice… just us
The scales of justice
It’s just us

LYRICS
Don’t know if I can testify
When you purse your lips
Don’t know if I can answer “why?”
You’ve the perfect hips
The politics of a complement
Give pause to lament
The politics of a complement
Give cause to what’s meant

Don’t know if I can satisfy
The rule or requirement
Don’t know if I can ratify
A fool as precedent

Are you a victim of her-ass-meant
#me too #it’s true
Found out that I am entertainment
For you know who

LYRICS
So…
… long to what is was
If was really is
If it happened so long ago
As to be was
Then, maybe it no longer is
… or never was?
Ya, know?
So, so long was
That is what’s up
Heads-up, Buttercup
Before we pass into the past
Let’s find some future… at last
Come on, Buttercup
