LYRICS
Oh, a very influential person
(Underworld Don)
Ain’t that the understatement of the year?
Didn’t wanna worsen
(Didn’t wanna dawn)
Too much enlightenment I fear

Euphoria in the euphemism
If it means I am
In the clear

Do ya need to tame the truth
Veiled in the cloak of couth
No need to soften the mouth
If spouting knowledge is wealth

#uck it, before you “kick the bucket”
Of course, beat a dead horse
Faux B.O.?
I don’t think so
Or, in The End gluteus maximus will epitomize us

LYRICS
What the heck is privilege
Do you believe you can have an edge?
Smelling all hubris inside
Draped in a cape of pride
Don’t you know
The first are the first to go
The last surpass
… at last

Up to our eyeballs in sludge
Stubborn mule won’t even budge
Trying to rule — overlord
In the kingdom of absurd

Chorus

As I gain the knowledge
The classes drive a wedge
Take the poverty pledge
And, your bets hedge

Chorus

LYRICS
Ladies and gentlemen
For your listening pleasure
All the way from outer space
The human race
They float around a star they call the sun
Fighting over how peace can be won
Even though the race is one

Their ladies aren’t very ladylike
Acting more like the Third Reich
And the gentlemen aren’t gentle at all
Only a matter of time until an uncivil civilization will fall

So if you like the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard
Have you heard the human herd?
As for me, theirs is too much pain and agony
Spending their days trying to see
How much destruction there can be
I’m looking around trying to hear if a sweet sound can be found
Ladies and gentlemen
For your listening pleasure?
I’m not sure you can endure

LYRICS
Turning cog
Rum in eggnog
The wheels turn
Will we ever learn
Or just keep spinning
Watching the population thinning
Who’s winning
Watching the population thinning
Egg noggin
Scrambled or fried
Mind untried
Brain died
Heard someone said… dead
Braindead
Eggnoggin
In fact, cracked
Yup
Can I have mine sunny side up

LYRICS
Can we dream a scene less obscene
Less greed, envy and being mean?
The annihilation of being self-annihilating
A constitution of love negating hating
Where we find a solution for all our pollution
And everybody gives a $hit where they take a $hit
Admits to it and takes care of it
We don’t need to start with all of it
Just a little bit
One little baby step in the right direction
Before ya know it
We’ll be running toward a humanity resurrection
A revolution over insurrection yielding human salvation
Taking responsibility as a society
So, one day you can say
To your children’s children’s children
“This is the view the humen left behind for you”

LYRICS
Hey diddle diddle there’s a doll with a fiddle
And some cat playing the spoons
Sing, “Ring around the Rosie”
Singin’…
And we’ll all go round and round
Then we’ll all fall down

Little Boy Blue come blow your horn
Play Boogie Woogie Blues until the ‘morn
The sheeple are in the meddle
Politicians are all the scorn
Say, “Play the blues on your horn song”
Play all the day long
Say, “All the livelong day”

What you think you see ….
Is that reality?
Basically
Your reality is killing me

Oh please save me
From your reality
Your reality
Is killing me

One is one
You can’t make it undone
Two is two, too
The definition is not up to you

After all….
Who is the biggest killer of us all
It’d be us by far
No need to fear
Of them reaching near
It would be us by far

LYRICS
What shall we do?
I dunno about me… well, how about you?

General made a general mistake
Major has made a major problem
What’s at stake is solemn
Subject to corporal punishment
In our private establishment

What shall we do?
I dunno about me… well, how about you?

Have the bugler sound an alarm
‘less we all suffer harm
Not sure who is at fault
But now we’re under assault

While the admiral does admire
His ship sinking and on fire
In the end was he just liar?
Maybe it’s time to retire

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
An eruption of corruption
Or, more like an ejaculation due to mental masturbation

soundcheck

A song about the justice system
In particular, the Pennsylvania Justice System
And, the situation in which I’m in
That would be Montgomery County

The accused — Risa Ferman (esquire)
I’ve never been victimized ’till I realized the discrimination
This attorney would reign down on me
This hell she would rain
I’m talking about wreaking havoc
Until I’ve had it
I was told to go away and never come back
And, if I had to be shot, why not
Under the gun
Forced to run
Under the auspice
Of the unhospitableness of Risa Ferman
(She’s got it out against men, man)
Some district attorney
She’s not only hurting me… she’s hurting all humanity
When she’s raining tyranny
When she’s reigning tyranny

Declared an outlaw
By an outlaw
There must be a flaw?

LYRICS
Burnt on the outside… raw in the middle
Really ain’t much of a riddle
I’d love to say job well done
But the brains may be in the bun

Instead of making you stare
Trying to make you rare
Might be time ya looked
If your mind’s over-cooked

Cook! Cook, will you take a look
There’s a fly drownin’ in my soup
Cook!, Cook, check your cookbook
Are fly’s in the soup du jour group?

Instead of making you stare
Trying to make you rare
Might be time ya looked

LYRICS
I’d sail the seven seas
If you weren’t just a tease
Now one sees you seize the siege

An endless campaign of over hill over dale
In the long run’s got to fail
To a chief they’ll never bow down or hail
A legacy of lunacy as our tale

How can you say the only righteousness is us
A bunch of holly rollers that must have missed the bus
Another crusade that’s American made
Can not be considered as fair trade

How can you say the only righteousness is us
A bunch of holly rollers that must have missed the bus
Another crusade that’s American made
Into Styx’s waters we do wade

Or is it just me?

Just passing by
Didn’t even try
Riding on-top of the underbelly
Ain’t it’s easy to see?

Are ya’ll just being silly

Isn’t it plain as day
Riding on-top of the underbelly

Or, are ya gonna cut it off in disgrace
Sorry, alright… just to spite

Right wing. Left wing.
Hear them sing
Thinking they’re the only thing
Left wing. Right wing.
Here’s the thing
Coming to our table with nothing to bring

The wind of change is starting to blow
Time to re-arrange… time for them to go

Right wing. Left wing.
All ding-a-ling
Thinking they’re the only thing
Left wing. Right wing.
Bird can’t fly
No co-operating… any wonder why?

Right wing. Left wing.
Whole thing’s stinkin’
Makes ya wonder what the hell they are thinkin’
Left wing. Right wing. All are freakin’
Waitin’ to see who’s the first one blinkin’
