Into The Fire.mp3

LYRICS
Out of the frying pan
And into the fire

The kettle calling the pot black
Imagine that
Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
Couldn’t get much more dire
Straight up dire
A dire straight
(At any rate)

Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
Fire!

Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
The circumstances couldn’t be any more dire
Guess they call this do or die or….
When you’re going to fry
Don’t you just feel like you will die
When you’re out of the frying pan
And into the fire

It might sting a little bit
Eventually the sensation will quit
It might hurt a little bit
Then the sensation will quit
When you hit
Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
That’s it
When you hit
That’s it
That’s how you know it
When you quit

LYRICS
What’s up with all this violence
Thick, unromantic, burn it to the wick, sick
Time for pathological benevolence

Hence forth and forever more
Let’s get addicted at our core
6th sense pathological benevolence

The bigger they come, the harder they fall
Wonder if they’ve a brain at all
Turnin’ mountain into molehill
No need to suffer the fool

Does any of this hatred make any sense
I’ve more of an urge to submerge in bliss
Soakin’ in pathological benevolence

Coming out swinging

Both our arms
Have funny bones
Prevent harms

To numb and dumb

If woman can survive they may find

Em   In the year 3535

C    You won't find a thing to chew
B7   Nobody's gonna look at you 
Em   In the year 5555
D    Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
C    Your legs got nothin' to do
B7   Some machine's doing that for you


In the year 6565
You won't need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube
In the year 7510
If God's a comin' He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
Guess it's time for the judgement day
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again woh oh  / /  / /

In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's takin' everything this old earth can give

and he ain't put back nothin'  woh oh

(very slowly - strum each chord once)
Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man's reign is through
But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday
(faster)
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find

I’m just a bland gland
I don’t understand
Just a bland gland

I don’t know
It’s hard to believe I’ve developed beyond and embryo
I don’t understand
I’m just a bland gland

Like the belly…
No not just the belly
The underbelly of the lowlyest worm at the bottom of the sea
Yeah that’s me
I don’t understand
I’m just a bland gland

Do I care if I see an atrocity
Nooooo
I just plead ignorance
My indifference passed off as ignorance
I’m guessing people will feel sorry for me
If I don’t understand the atrocity

LYRICS
If you consider all homeless
To be terrorists
What’s up with your self-interest?
That’s messed up
That’s what’s up

How can you raise fear about fear
When you create the terror aren’t you the terrorist
It’s implicit
After all, who created the homelessness
That lack of nest
If you create terrorists
Chances are large you’ll live in fear

Next, you’ll tell me that you hate hate
Well, isn’t that hate that you create
Then, you cheer on your fear
Got terror in error
When the twist is you’re the terrorist
The twist is you’re the terrorist

Do you think you can resist becoming the terrorist
When you hold your fear dear
Like your fear is more dear than my fear
Then I fear fear itself

Have you crossed the line?

Is your toe over the line
Have you crossed the line
Did you toe the line
Tow the line

Have you gone to far
Leaving the door ajar
Now all hell is breaking loose
Killed the golden goose
Now you’re running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off
Did you toe the line
Did you tow the line

As a member of society
Being part of humanity
It is business of mine
So I’m minding my own business when I ask you
Did you toe the line

Did you tow the line
Did you start in time
Did you toe the line
Did you cross the line
Did you tow the line

Die-a-gram for Over-cooked Turkey.mp3

LYRICS
May I say, happy holiday? Can you tell me, “How do you like your turkey?”
Our recipe for catastrophe:
Now, somehow Moscow resides on both sides
In France, they’re doing the (anti)terror dance
Invoking the Kremlin gremlin
The Kremlin gremlin provoking a turkey basting
Are you telling me I am the delicacy? Noooo… I don’t wanna be in the recipe!
Too many cooks in the kitchen… too many kooks in the kitchen
And, here I am sayin’, “I need a die-a-gram”

All the while up to their ears in Syria diarrhea
Some sick Islamic
Don’t ya think that’ll stink?
Leave it up to their fears in Syria diarrhea
You ISIS? I is not ISIS
No Boca Raton killing marathon
While Al-Shabaab rape n’ rob
Run as fast as you can from the Taliban
Oh my gawd! No Jihad
Please read the Qur’an agin’
Is that what is meant? The Qur’an is based on the New Testament… which is based on the Old Testament. We’re all on top of the same base-meant.
And, here I am, “I need a die-a-gram”

The Saudi’s out of Yemen
Can I get an Amen?
They ran from Iran
More than a crack in Iraq
Now who’s gettin’ in
Na, na, na not China
And, here I am, “I need a die-a-gram”

What’s left of the leftovers? What’s the deal with this holiday meal? I’ve been rooked… the turkey’s over-cooked! What else can I say on Thanksgiving Day?

Die-a-gram for Over-cooked Turkey

Q: Oui, we?
A: Yes. We are us…
No matter the country
Time humanity adjusts
Eagles Of Death Metal
Soaring high… peace for all
Raptor rapture… a religious nature
Not a single fool
Graduates from Mother Nature’s school
Humor and wit model
Love — the fundamental tool
Inclusive nation foundation
Built on solid rock
You want in? Just knock

“What I did, that evening
What she said, that evening
Fulfilling my hope
Headlong I go for glory… OK”
Nope. Run, run, run runaway!
We, oui. Oui, we.
Psycho killers are dangerous to us
If we become what we hate, it’s too late
Don’t wanna be a psycho killer, too
Nooooo, not me. How ’bout you?
We, oui!

ABOUT THE SONG
Style: ExperiMental Music
Chords: [capo2] E Am / E E7 Am Am7 / B E
Rhythm: Mixed Latin Heavy Metal with some at 104 BPM
Recording: digital 1-track stereo

Inspired by the attack on Paris, France and the fans at an “Eagles Of Death Metal” concert. The song is about psycho killings. Individuals who murder are psycho. It’s not about beliefs, race or religion. You have to be nuts to murder someone.

Additional lyrics are from the Talking Heads’ song “Psycho Killer” (originally in French):
Ce que j’ai fait, ce soir-là
Ce qu’elle a dit, ce soir-là
Réalisant mon espoir
Je me lance vers la gloire… OK
