LYRICS
Doctor! Doctor!
Tell me what you knew
Doctor! Doctor!
Tell me what is new
Doctor! Doctor!
This ain’t the flu
And I’m overdue
Need a transfusion
From this delusion
Feel like mud
Need new blood
More radiation
For cessation
Know what I mean
Can’t even scream
Laryngitis
Illness fights us
The modern dread
Is waking up dead
Let me out of this hospital bed
Hospital gown getting me down
The lack of a back
Let’s my ass pass
Into thin air
Is there anybody there?
Hello? Hello?
I just dunno…

LYRICS
Heads up! It’s coming right at ya
We don’t want to have to go crying to Ma
If we all can keep our eye on the ball
We might just get this right

Heads up! It’s headed right for you
We don’t want to have to tell Ma “it’s through”
If we all can keep our eye on the ball
We might just get this right

Heads up! It’s barreling at us
Don’t want to have to tell Ma “it’s ominous”
If we all can keep our eye on the ball
We might just get this right

Heads up! The ball is headed at us all
We might want to keep it in sight
If we all can keep our eye on the ball
We might just get this right

Now it’s time to play suspended
Time upended
Defying the law of gravity
Suspended for humanity

Now it’s time to play suspended
Time upended
Defying the law of gravity
Humanity for eternity
Humanity to infinity

Hey! How do you say “covfefe” (co-fev-ay)
A new pet peeve
How to convey…

Covfefe (cough-eve)
A hex perplex
Spewing diarrhea
Doi and dah
Outta the diaper

Coversong originally made famous by The Beatles

“Yer Blues” is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, from their titular 1968 album The Beatles, also known as “The White Album”. Though credited to Lennon–McCartney, the song was written and composed by John Lennon during the Beatles’ retreat in Rishikesh, India.

The song is believed to be a satirical reference to white English boys trying to sing the blues.

        E                 E7+9
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
        A            E
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
   G
If I ain't dead already
B7                            E    A  E  B7
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
In the morning wanna die
In the evening wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
E                         A E
My mother was of the sky
E                         A E
My father was of the earth
E                         A E
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth

I'm lonely (verse)
The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
Lonely (verse)

Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
Want to die
Yeah, want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why

LYRICS
Herald the 1st world world
Where equity’s one and the same
Leveled with logic of sane
And the yield… a level playing field
Can’t conceal how I feel
When everyone’s treated as real

Imagine when all wars cease
Giving all a piece of peace
And as much as an angelic touch
The choir in company of harmony
Can’t conceal how I feel
When everyone’s treated as real

The children fed and in bed
Know the very next day they’ll play
When all is done it’s said,
“How is our legacy read?”
Can’t conceal how I feel
When everyone’s treated as real

LYRICS
Watching the pendulum swing
Perpetual dumb on the wing
You can try and try
Piling lie upon lie
But you can’t make the truth die

The nation gasps a collective sigh
Dumbfounded… why, why, why?
The scales of justice must balance
At heaven’s gate there’s no second chance

Watching the pendulum swing
It’s time to question everything
Though you try and try
Supporting a lie with a lie
You know you can’t make the truth die

Watching the pendulum swing
Certain the future will bring
Justice for us
The truth we’ll unveil
We’ll prevail
Making the call
Justice for all

In the fears of the gears
The head hog of the cog
Lost a tooth
Nevermore to tell the truth
The clock made a face
As it lost track of time

There’s no reason nor rhyme
Nevertheless
Based on man’s freewill
Time stands still
Much to the distress of progress

We’ve lost a cog
Monkey wrench in the works
Now the works won’t work
Humanity’s in a fog
Raised by a toothless cog

Dear John,

Worn, torn and wasted
You know…

For lives devastated
Shouldn’t have wasted

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The morning shining star
The dawning of the day
Has Home sapien come that far
Questioning of our way
Naledi led me…
Or was it destiny
Is my will free?
So, this is humanity
I expect in retrospect
We will have to face
Our small braincase
Will our tiny brain remain
Could it be
Gorilla compared to Homo naledi
Someday could see me
Relative to a future relative
With the brain that’s tiny?

Homo naledi
Homo naledi

ABOUT THE SONG
The following got me thinking — what if someday “modern man’s” brain is compared to mine? Will they say I have a small braincase?

In 2015, a new human-like species discovered in South Africa was named Homo naledi. Neledi is a Sotho name originated in South Africa meaning “the morning shining star”.

Homo naledi is different than any other primitive human. Naledi has a tiny brain that is about the size of a gorilla’s. The pelvis and shoulders are primitive, as well. Since it has a more progressive shaped skull, small teeth, and long legs and modern-looking feet, it was put into the same genus as humans.

“I saw something I thought I would never see in my career. It was a moment that 25 years as a paleoanthropologist had not prepared me for,” Prof Berger said.

Originally, the fossils were discovered in September 2013. While exploring the Rising Star cave system in South Africa, Rick Hunter and Steven Tucker of the Speleological Exploration Club (SEC) found a hidden chamber. The remains were thought to be 2 to 3 million years old; however, in 2017 new radiological dating estimated the bones were only 200 to 300 thousand years old.

It is quite possible Homo naledi and Homo Sapien were living together. Now, the search is on for DNA evidence to determine if there was inner-breeding.

Coversong originally made famous by Joni Mitchell and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Written by Joni Mitchell

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, where are you going
And this he told me
I’m going on down to Yasgur’s farm
I’m going to join in a rock ‘n’ roll band
I’m going to camp out on the land
I’m going to try an’ get my soul free
We are stardust
We are golden
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it’s the time of man
I don’t know who l am
But you know life is for learning
We are stardust
We are golden
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil’s bargain
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Capo 2 (transposed from f#m)

NC                (Em)       
I've been drivin' all night,
My hand's wet on the wheel.
There's a voice in my head,
That drives my heel.
It's my baby callin',
Says, "I need you here."
And it's a half past four,
And I'm shifting gear.

D5
When she is lonely,
            A5               E5
And the longing gets too much.
D5
She sends a cable,
         A5    G5/A  A5/B
Coming in from above.
B5                  A5/B
Don't need a phone at all.
C           G5           D5           E5
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love,

We've got a wave in the air.
NC    (Em7)
Radar Love.

The road has got me hypnotized
And I’m speedin’ into a new sunrise
When I get lonely and I’m sure I’ve had enough
She sends her comfort comin’ in from above
We don’t need no letter at all
We’ve got a thing that’s called radar love
We’ve got a light in the sky, radar love

No more speed, I’m almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee’s comin’ on strong
And the newsman sang his same song
Oh one more radar lover gone
When I get lonely and I’m sure I’ve had enough
She sends her comfort comin’ in from above
We don’t need no letter at all
We’ve got a thing that’s called radar love
We’ve got a light in the sky
We’ve got a thing that’s called radar love
We’ve got a thing that’s called radar love
