LYRICS
Are we just scratching the surface
Or, are we already in too deep?
If we could only let the knowledge seep
Into our heart
Into our mind
Into our soul
Maybe we could cut down on the human toll
I don’t want to be the troll of your body
But it’s easy see
But if that’s what you’re calling me
Are we just scratching the surface
Are we in too deep
I believe the temperature is rising
It’s really not surprising
Not the slightest bit
Now it won’t quit
Need more proof
It’s going through the roof
The only problem… our race can’t adapt to living in space
’cause we trashed this place
A song inspired by human induced climate change. Since most of the energy is going into the ocean, many people are fooled by the Earth’s surface temperature.

LYRICS
If you’re gonna believe what you wanna believe
Then please relieve and give relief to the relief that is life
Raised above the plane
Relevo! To raise! Be sane!
Help put an end to strife
See if you can find out
Where that fact is at
See if you can take in
All that has been
And come to a logical conclusion
For real
Believe what is real
Based on facts more than how you feel
It’s more the real than how you feel
It’s kind-of pungent
To be that ignorant
One thinks it stinks
Seriously? Really seriously?
Your conspiracy theory
So silly
You must be kiddin’ me
Seriously? Conspiracy theory?
Why chemtrails in the sky
Why 9/11… some divine heaven
Why vaccination intimidation
Silly. Seriously conspiracy theory?
Do you like the controversy
When you distort the story
Or is really just pungence
From ignorance
One thinks it stinks!

ABOUT THE SONG
Inspired by the riots in Baltimore, MD.

LYRICS
All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution
Son, had you begun in Ferguson?
Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore
You can’t hate hate unless you partake
You can’t take part with what’s at stake
When you behave all irate… at any rate
There’s a moral lack when you strike back
At others not involved in your attack
Doesn’t matter whether they’re a shade of grey, white or black
It’s just a matter of fact
That ain’t no way to act
Is it any wonder they wanna put you in a cage
The way you behave all in a rage
You’re more likely to engage as a sage
Put a The End to that book… and look to a blank page
All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution
Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore?
No more! No more!
LYRICS
If you think it’s a question of maybe
When it comes to killing a baby
Then it’s time to grasp reality
Put away the grenade
Into the light. Out of the shade.
If you think there’s nothing wrong
With dropping a wedding bomb
Peace will forever long
Military parade charade
Into the light. Out of the shade.
Lurking in the shadows
A wolf in our meadows
Dressed in sheep’s clothing
Nothin’ more worth loathing
Hatred fade! Into the light. Out of the shade.
LYRICS
Everybody is rushing to have a revolution
Yet they’ve got no system substitution
Nobody is looking to find a solution
Instead pushing for a Russian revolution
Could be the fall of us all (x2)
For the laborers, the hammer will fall
For the peasantry, the Reaper’s sickle
When death does call
She’s none to fickle
Could be the fall of us all (x2)
Everybody is flushing their toilet
Forgetting whose downstream from their inlet
Can’t just keep streaming our crap
Onto our neighbors’ lap
Could be the fall of us all (x2)
ABOUT THE SONG
D Em G A D
C G D
C A D
A song about being careful what you wish for:
The hammer and sickle (☭) is a Communist symbol that was conceived during the Russian Revolution. At the time of creation, the hammer stood for industrial laborers and the sickle for the peasantry; combined they stood for the worker-peasant alliance for socialism and against reactionary movements and foreign intervention.

LYRICS
We’ve been straying a ways
From our better days
On a path of destruction
Evolution dysfunction
Mating with Neanderthal
Going to lead to our fall
Take on the shape
Of crawling back to the ape
And at this rate (And at this rate)
Approaching our expiration date
And at this rate (And at this rate)
Casting our destiny’s fate
We’ve been straying a ways
From our better days
On a path to damnation
Eternal dysfunction
Any orgy of imps
Resembling chimps
Squirting demons’ seaman
On the Succubus in all of us
LYRICS
I aim to tame
I’m…
The lyin’ tamer
Constitutional framer
Lyin’ tamer
The politic
The rhetoric
The hypocrite
Who you calling a heretic?
Enough to make me sick
You couldn’t be much lamer
Look out! Here comes the lyin’ tamer
It’s a jungle out there
Better beware
Those elected officials have the initials
F.U.
F you
They say F! you and then some, too
The lyin’ tamer
Lying in wait
To participate
In the taming of your ass
An opportunity I couldn’t let pass
