So Knee

Posted on December 19, 2014December 20, 2014 by admin

A Lyrical Interview about The Interview
Sony’s so knee-jerk reaction
No Constitution satisfaction

Chorus
It’s plain to see
Satirical comedy
It’s plain to see
This ain’t reality

Sony’s so knee-jerk reaction
No substitution for affirmative action

No satisfaction from retraction

No liberation without artist expression

Oh, no!

Don’t you think we oughta twerk the clerk

What Do I Know?

Song Writing and Recorded at Everhart Park, Chester County, PA

LYRICS
It’s pretty easy to make a list of things I know
Let’s give ‘er a go

1+1=2
The White House is white, too
Whom is buried in Grant’s tomb
And debate the War Of 1812 date

It’s pretty easy to make a list of things I know
Even so
I know I can’t list what I don’t know
If I know God exists… there’s a twist
At any rate, how can God be good? How can God be great?

It’s pretty easy to make a list of things I know
Let’s give ‘er a go

I know a,b,c
… can sing “from sea to shining sea”
I know we’re meant to be free
And, humans should display humanity

LYRICS
Are those fighting words
Prepare to draw swords
At the Liberty Bell
Truth will tell

Hut, 2, 3, 4 let’s march
Hut, 2, 3, 4 lit torch
From the Liberty Bell
Time will tell

Gathering together
A collective soul
Die or live free forever
For whom does the bell toll?

King-dumb

Posted on August 26, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
The King sat on his throne
Sitting all alone
All his horses and all his men
Couldn’t put it back together again

The servant on his knees
Begging for mercy, please
With the King’s thumb pointing down
The bag of kittens will drown

Widows and orphan’s disease
Making the King sneeze
When in doubt
He’ll snuff them out
Now, no kingdom to amount
King’s king-dumb
King dumb

Murder Of Crows

Songwriting at Everhart Park, West Chester, PA

LYRICS
How will we ever know
If we don’t let freedom go
Don’t wanna watch us age
Keeping freedom in a cage

How will we ever grow
If we don’t let freedom go
How can there be a sage
Keeping freedom in a cage

A murder of crows
Count your fingers, count your toes
If we don’t turn the page
Letting freedom outta the cage

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords – E G A D A G E

A rhyme for counting the number of crows in a murder:
One for sorrow, two for mirth,
Three for a wedding, four for a birth,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret not to be told.
Eight for heaven, nine for hell,
And ten for the devil’s own sel’

Written on the streets of West Chester, Chester County, PA. Recorded live at Everhart Park.

  The lunatic is on the grass.

D                       E/D
  Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.

A7                                 D    Dsus2
Got to keep the loonies on the path.

D                          G7/D
  The lunatic is in the hall.

D                        G7/D
  The lunatics are in my hall.

D                              E/D
  The paper holds their folded faces to the floor

    A7                             D        Dsus2  D7  D9
And every day the paper boy brings more.

G                            A
  And if the dam breaks open many years too soon

    C                                   G
And if there is no room upon the hill

G                                    A7
  And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too

  You raise the blade, you make the change

A7                                D     Dsus2
  You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane.

D
  You lock the door

    E/D
And throw away the key

        A7                              D   Dsus2   D7  D9
There's someone in my head but it's not me.

G                          A
  And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear

C                                   G
  You shout and no one seems to hear.

                                 A           A7        A
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes

     C                                   G  Bm7  Em  A7
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

LYRICS
Pennsylvania
Penn’s sylvania
Who knew what the new
William’s wood would become
From the forest let it come

Can’t you see?
Don’t step on me!
Let’s be free
Don’t tread on me!

Don’t mistake
A rattlesnake
For a fake…
Or, fang intake

Stop Her

Posted on June 2, 2014June 4, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
If ya gonna get in line
‘n server your time to the state
Better realize it’s time to open your eyes
As you’re the God of your fate

Imagine your baby more than obese
And on your life she has lease (she has a leash)
The brother is smothered n’ just might cease
Right at the time most crucial for peace

How are we gonna stop her
How can we make Her stop
How are we gonna stop her
How can we make Her not?

If ya gonna dine on a ’69
Better maker sure you’re on top
Underneath there’ll be no, “Breath!”
Your heart… it just might stop

I’m talkin’ to you
We ain’t talking voodoo

(Gasp)
… with my last dying breath —
“You’ve loved me to death.”

LYRICS
The coo of the coup is cuckoo
Insane in Ukraine
The slip in Egypt
Can you understand Thailand?

An irate police state
Eliminates primates

The destiny of liberty…
Freedom come undone

And, the walrus is us

Hey USA what do you say
Be a real pity if it comes to your city?

As far as I can see
There’s more than me
To be true
Ya gotta be you

If the fox is in the hen house
There’s no time to sleep
The pigs will start to squeal

As far as I can see
If ya wanna be free
It is true
Ya gotta be you

Chorus

The fox is in the Whitehouse
Eating the little sheep
Pigs feast on the lamb scam
n’ reveal the real deal

LYRICS
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech
When you start to wine, wail n’ preach
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech

Chorus
If you’re going to talk the talk
Better make sure you can walk the walk
To get what we teach to reach
(2) To get what we seek in deep
What we seek to sink in deep

Start to think I can see the kingdom come come
When we start to find, sail n’ then some
Start to think I can see the kingdom come come

Prince For President

LYRICS
Prince for President
With Ted Nugent on the ticket… too
Prince for President
Or would that make him King?
(Wouldn’t that be something)

President Prince on the far left
VP Nugent on the far right
In a head-to-head musical fight
The slogan that will reign their campaign:
“Put an end to political theft
… with deft!”

Out with the daft and in with the deft!

A monarchy in our destiny

LYRICS
We’re building a prison
You’re already in
We’re building a prison
Too late to begin

It’s time to shout,
Breakout!
‘take my freedom,
Takeout

What’s our independence all about?

They’re building a prison
I’m already in
They’re building a prison
Too late to begin

Watch the fall… Independence Hall
Watching the fall of us all
Watch the travesty of liberty
Sights our eyes should never see
