LYRICS
Fly
On the windshield
I want to try to fly?
Fly
On the windshield
And just like that
Splat!
Fly on the windshield

Fly
Hope I can fly
Before
The windshield
’cause the windshield
Just won’t yield
And just like that
Splat!

They say I may become bug spray
Better stay out of the way
Don’t be the windshield
Know what I mean?
Don’t be the windscreen
They say I may become buy spray some day

LYRICS
When the messenger warned
Is the messenger scorned?
Please don’t confuse
The bearer with bad news
Take your stance
Fallacies of irrelevance
A, em…
Ad hominem
Touché
Tu quoque
You and me
Equals we

But, you can’t evade
Calling a spade a spade
That’s what it’s all about
Calling a liar out
Even know what you meant
Making an argument?
A, em…
Ad hominem
Touché
Tu quoque
You and me
Equals we

bookmark_borderI Mean Mean (He’s Gotta Go Bad)

LYRICS
He’s got a mean disposition
Do you know what I mean…
Mean
Down right ornery
Ya see
He really had to go
Ya know
What I mean
Mean
Got himself in the situation
With his backside in a position
That caused a mean disposition
Are you aware
You’d better stand away from there
Stand back
From his back
’cause if you’re over there over there
You might not be coming back
He’s got a mean disposition
Do you know what I mean…
Mean
Got himself in the situation
With his backside in a position
That caused a mean disposition

bookmark_borderHammerhead

LYRICS
With a little stammer
“Take this hammer,”
He said,
“And, hit it with a hammer!”
Hit it with a hammer?
I didn’t understand the detail:
Nail the nail
I thought I was it
Bam! Impale
Hit it with a hammer
Like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer
It’s hard for me to feel the appeal
Where’s the glamour
… hit it with a hammer?

He did deliver
A screwdriver
Am I a believer?
Some how I misconstrued
Screw the screw
Now I’m screwed

Hit it with a hammer
“Hit the nail on the head”
Wish he would have said

LYRICS
Feed me some line
And, let me swim
Ready to be free
Again
(Let me swim)
Look,
Let me off this hook
I want to be “really” free
So, please help me
Won’t you please help me?

For the next stage
Enlarge the cage
Oh, believe me
Ready to be free
A whole new page
Out of this cage
I want to be “really” free
So, please help me

Where is the sign
“Free All The Time”
Wish I had known
I could have grown
Free all the time
It’s a state of mind
To thyself as to others… be kind
As others to you, too… be kind

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly Hangs Head

LYRICS
As he looks to the floor
He can’t take any more
The resident President is an idiot
Fascist, racist, bigot

As he looks to the floor
How much more to endure?
A chief advisor
With a losing score

As he looks to the floor
How much more is in store
Trying to glorify the gore
Has he any clue? … I’m not sure

As he looks to the floor
Should I run for the door
When it rains, it’s going to poor
When he reigns, taking from the poor

LYRICS
Have you ever been warned
About the calm before the storm
Before all hell breaks loose
And you’re left swinging…
Under a noose
I’m getting into knowing
The winds of change are blowing
Giving heart attacks
To any heart that lacks

Give your heart an attack of love
Letting in light from above
Feel your heart start
Let the hate depart

Black is black
White is white
I’d say you’re out of the grey
Not so fine… crossing the line

I heard there’s a train leaving
Leaving for Freedom
Freedom, USA
What do you say
We try to find our way
Free of dumb in Freedom
USA

They say Freedom’s just a little way
Further down the line
They say we’ll get there…
Just a matter of time

I heard the last train’s leaving
Grieving for Freedom

What do you say
We find a way to stay
In the Freedom kingdom
Each and every day

LYRICS
I wish I knew this when I was younger
I wish I knew this a little longer
There’s nothing wrong with being a beatless sense monger
A little bit of loving makes you a lot stronger
Give a little bit and love to live

Alas, I wish I would have grasp this on the first pass
Learning the feeling of a complete ass
There’s nothing better than being a beatless sense monger
A little bit of loving makes you a lot stronger
Give a little bit and love to live

Trying not to make the mistake to make the same mistake
Dreaming of being a being being awake
Partake in the song as a beatless sense monger
A little bit of loving makes you a lot stronger
Give a little bit and love to live
