LYRICS
Gentlemen, start your engines
(Fossil fuel fool)
Unlock the dino’s from their dungeons
(Fossil fuel fool)

Dinosaurs take back the planet
As if we didn’t really plan it?
I’m a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

The “Damn Age” inflictin’ damage
Cry of privilege in an outrage
I’m a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

Sniffing their fumes while “The End” looms
Brain is dead before the corpse is bled
I’m a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

Rev the engine again and again
’til the smell of Jurassic makes you sick
I’m a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

LYRICS
Human says:
What are you eating under there
Are you aware
What you’re eating under there?
Dog replies:
Underwear? Why do you stare?
Underwear? Relative to where?

Human says:
What are you eating under there
Do you even care
What are you eating under there
Eat it raw. Eat it rare.
What you’re eating under there?
Dog relies:
Underwear? Why do you stare?
Underwear? Relative to where?

Human says:
What are you eating under there
Why wont you even share
What you’re eating under there?
Dog relies:
Underwear? Why do you stare?
Underwear? Relative to where?

Human and dog say:
It all comes out in The End
The truth comes out in The End

LYRICS
1) Spent too many days home alone
Waiting on some telephone
Condition of death prone
Chorus:
When it comes to The End
Best thing for heart’s mend
Man’s best of friends
Maybe man’s only friend?

2) People want to stare and gawk
Behind your back talk, talk, talk
Think it’s time to take you for a walk
(chorus)

3) People want to chastise me
No, they won’t let me be
All you want’s the closest tree
(chorus)

4) Oh, oh dog gone it!
Forget the people flaunted
Nevermore to be wanted
(chorus)

LYRICS
The earth, wind and fire
The elements conspire
Gas, liquid, solid
They did
In a state of transition
Transformation
A new age information
For formation

Air, land, sea
In unity
(Get down to Earth)
Rock, paper, scissors
Metamorphosis

Birth, life, death
Laid to rest
The End, middle, begin
Do it again

LYRICS
Are those columns or pillars?
Holding up the weight
Let alone there’s no keystone
To participate
I can’t wait
To end this debate

Built on a foundation of solid rock
Or banging erasers at the school of hard knocks?
I can’t wait
To end this debate

Those standing proud and tall
Applaud your facade… of all the gall
I can’t wait
To end this debate

Is your house built on solid ground
Or falling down all around
Does your cup overflow
With what you know
Wisdom; therefore, I am?
I can’t wait
To end this debate

LYRICS
How long does this go on?
Who’s taking bets on “no regrets”?
The things you do come back to you
In The End
If the rules won’t bend
What’s the message you send
In The End

If you love to hate
It’s never too late
To quit that bit
To love to love can’t wait

No obstacle is ever too great
Participate! Carry your weight

It’s up to you what you’re going to do
To pull through
Reporter of days grown shorter
Re-order

LYRICS
You don’t always find what you seek
You don’t always hide your mystic
The mean seems to be in between
The savage of average

You don’t always give what you take
You don’t always take what you give
In The End there’s a chance
It will balance… out
Rebels shout

If you seek you might find
That there’s others seeking kind
Seek and find the kind kind
Rewind

Look back and inspect
Search for the respect
In your retrospect

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Watching all the head banging
Jumping on the bandwagon
Claim the fame of a train wreck
What the heck
No sense hanging
When you’re siting on top of the world

Feeling all the needling
Lost your youthful seedling
Are you always told
You’re growing old
No sense hanging
When you’re siting on top of the world

At “The End” of your rope
Debating if you’ll cope
Waiting for your fate’s
Too late
No sense hanging
When you’re siting on top of the world

LYRICS
Would you say
A banquet fit
For Beggars’ Day
When the winners lose
And the beggars choose
May the last in line
Be the first to dine
(Don’t you think it’s about time?)
And they say
“So it’s told”
One the page
The day and age
The meek inherit the world

In this fable
Are you able
Your treat a seat
At the table

Is it the end of the beginning
Or the beginning of The End
When there is no such thing
As sinning
What’s the message
That you send?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Will you say “It wasn’t me.” ?
Will you take responsibility
… at The End of the line?
Fly or cry
… at The End of the line?
Try or whine
… at The End of the line?
The End of the line

Time to own-up to what we do
I know my fault… how about you?
… at The End of the line?
Fly or cry
… at The End of the line?
Try or whine
… at The End of the line?
The End of the line

“The End” is certain. This is true.
But why expire
Before our time is due
… at The End of the line?
Fly or cry
… at The End of the line?
Try or whine
… at The End of the line?
The End of the line

Have you no faith in your fellow man
For crying-out-loud…
… why not do what we can
… at The End of the line?
Fly or cry
… at The End of the line?
Try or whine
… at The End of the line?
The End of the line

{E jam: start at 92 BPM increase then decrease tempo to naught}

If you ever let your ponder wonder
More than likely you’ll see clearly
You create your own destiny
Have you “know” curiosity
… at The End of the line?
The End of the line

ABOUT THE SONG
A song inspired by “human deniers”. That is to say, “those humans that are not taking responsibility for their own actions and the harm being caused to their own habitat.” When their habitat is no longer habitable, will they keep on denying?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Usually wake near daybreak
Might stay up all night
Try to roll from the same ‘ole
Shy to begin “again and again”
Repetitive disorders take their toll
Given into sin is hard to win
Always starting
Always searching
For understanding
End’s beginning

Usually wake near daybreak
Might stay up all night
Void of pain and strife
Makes for a better life
Try to sway into something knew
Find O.K. in a different way
Find what to do in lieu
Spy your stray ray today

LYRICS
Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Jack burns the candle…
Both ends of the wick
Put on the thimble
Thread the camel
The last straw
Thread the camel
Break his back
Eye of the needle
Step on a crack
Break the camel’s back
And you’ll cry baby cry
Wipes the tear
From the eye
Of your camel
Wipe the fear
From the I
Of your need-le
Life is nimble
Cuts you to the quick
Too quick
The Book read: “The quick and the dead.”
Too quick to quick, my friend
The End

LYRICS
Seen it before
Know how it ends
And the message it sends
Same ole folklore
’bout blood and gore
And the morals it bends
The good guys always finish last
Hoping it was a thing of the past
That ain’t no damsel in distress
Just a MILF in a hot mess

The plot doesn’t know where to begin
The dog’s at the door and want to come in
Is this the climax? What’s it about
Now that damn dog wants to go out
All of time just keeps dragging on
Really can’t wait ’til I’m gone
Romans, countrymen your ears lend
Finally, this story comes to “The End”

LYRICS
Throwing into the wind
Where the mind has been
Gone with the wind
Or come back again?
Don’t you know
I think it blows?
(Don’t you think I know it blows?)
No matter which way it goes
It blows
Any way the wind blows
Don’t you know
I think it blows
All my answers…
Blowin’ in the wind
Why question the suggestion
’cause in conclusion the conclusion:
Is in the hands of the weather/whether
Blowin’ like a feather
In the wind

LYRICS
What can I do
The time sure flew
What can I do
I’m asking you
Hands of the clock
Are ready to shock
Spinnin’ ’round
They never slow down
Sets the pace
With the hands on his face
… to pursue the chase?

Hands on the clock
Never going to stop
Night and day
They go the same way
No surprise
They’re going clockwise
… the wise realize

Hands on the clock
Would fit like a glove
If this were
The time for love
I’m a bandit of time
Hands up! This is a stick-up
I’m…
… a band-it of time
