[Intro]
Funk that love!
(Funk it up!)
Hands to the sky
(Never give up!)

Feel that beat
(Feel that ground)
All of the people
(Comin’ around!)

[Verse 1]
From the forests to the plains
Through the sunshine, through the rains
Ancient rhythms, future sound
Feel the heartbeat underground

Circle turning, feet in time
Every culture, every rhyme
Different stories, different ways
One world dancing through the days!

[Pre-Chorus]
Indigenous dancers
(You’re universal)
You’re all… (we’re all)
Dancers

[Chorus]
Hate is reigning
(Raining from the high heavens)
Hate is raining

Down, down, down

Time to rise
(Surprise!)
Let the love
(Rise above)
Rise high n’ shine
(Let the love)
Rise above…
(Rise above)
… love

[Verse 2]
Hear the drums across the land
Feel the rhythm, take my hand
No more walls to keep us apart
Let the music move your heart

From the desert to the sea
There’s a place for you and me
Respect the roots, protect the ground
Let the love and life abound!

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
Time rolls on, the years go by
Clouds drift past a changing sky
Another turn, a winding track
Here I am, just looking back!

[Verse 1]
Some days sunny, some days gray
Somehow found my own way
Took a chance and learned a lot
Made the best of what I’ve got

A few wrong turns along the road
A few more stories to be told
Trying to figure it out
That’s what life’s about!

[Refrain]
Looking back
(Looking back on life)
As a matter fact
(Not that much strife)

Life’s been good…
(Good to me so far)
Doing what I could
(Landing above par)

… no matter where you are

[Verse 2]
There were dreams I chased around
Some took flight, some touched the ground
Some surprises came my way
Some things just refused to stay

Didn’t need to win them all
Didn’t mind the occasional fall
Another lesson, another view
Made me more as I grew

[Refrain]
Looking back
(Looking back on life)
As a matter fact
(Not that much strife)

Life’s been good…
(Good to me so far)
Doing what I could
(Through the bizarre)

… no matter where you are

[Bridge]
No regrets? Well, not quite!
Had a few long nights
But the wrong turns helped me see
There’s no perfect recipe

You can’t control the wind
Or how the next day’s gonna begin
Just keep moving, do your part
Keep a little love in your heart!

[Instrumental Break]
Looking back!
(Here we go!)
Looking back!
(What a show!)

Round the bend
(Around again)
Each new start
(A work of art!)

[Final Refrain]
Looking back
(Looking back on life)
As a matter fact
(Not that much strife)

Life’s been good…
(Good to me so far)
Doing what I could
(Through the bizarre)

… no matter where you are

Looking back
(And looking ahead)
All the things I’ve done
(All the words I’ve said)

Life’s been good…
(And there’s more to do)
A little wiser now
(While growing true)

[Outro]
Looking back…
(With a smile)
Looking back…
(Been a while)

Life’s been good…
(Good to me so far)
Doing what I could…
(Through the bizarre)

… no matter who you are

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Sub-Bass, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
Watch his mouth
(Watch him go)
Truth comes north
(Then heads south!)
Round and round
(The same old sound)
Another glory “his” story
(Another shroud!)
… for crying out loud!

[Verse 1]
He says the sky is green today
Then swears the blue has gone away
He tells us black is really white
And changes sides before the night

A promise made, a promise bent
A million words, but what was meant?
The facts are knocking at the door
He says he’s never heard them before!

[Refrain]
How can you tell he’s lying
… is he (moo, moo) moving his lips
(Just a bit)
True. There’s no denying
… intentional slips
(Spew some shhh….)
It! Yes that’s “it”.

He’s (moo, moo) moving his lips
(La, la, la) Lying to the dips
(The dip shhh….)
It’s! Yes that’s “it”.

[Verse 2]
He says he won when he lost the race
Then puts a grin on his lying face
He blames the crowd, he blames the game
He changes facts but keeps his name

Add more spin, blow more smoke
A grand old promise, another joke
Check the record, check the score
The truth keeps knocking evermore!

[Refrain]
How can you tell he’s lying
… is he (moo, moo) moving his lips
(Just a bit)
True. There’s no denying
… intentional slips
(Spew some shhh….)
It! Yes that’s “it”.

He’s (moo, moo) moving his lips
(La, la, la) Lying to the dips
(The dip shhh….)
It’s! Yes that’s “it”.

[Bridge]
Moo, moo, moo
(What’s he trying to do?)
Spin, spin, spin
(Where does truth begin?)

[Breakdown]
Fact-check!
(What the heck?)
Double-check!
(What’s next?)
Words are cheap
(Promises steep)
Watch what they do
(Does he have a clue!)
A claim’s not true because it’s loud
A lie’s not truth because it’s proud
Don’t take the bait, don’t buy the show
Look at the facts before you go

The proof is there for all to see
If we can face reality

[Final Refrain]
How can you tell he’s lying
… is he (moo, moo) moving his lips
(Just a bit)
True. There’s no denying
… intentional slips
(Spew some shhh….)
It! Yes that’s “it”.

He’s (moo, moo) moving his lips
(La, la, la) Lying to the dips
(The dip shhh….)
It’s! Yes that’s “it”.

How can you tell he’s lying?
(Check the facts!)
How can you tell he’s lying?
(Watch how he acts!)

Moo, moo, moo
(We see through you!)
Spin, spin, spin
(Truth will win!)

[Outro]
Moo, moo, moo!
(What’s he gonna do?)
La, la, la!
(Lie to you!)

Words may twist
(Facts persist)
Lips may flap
(There’s the trap!)

How can you tell?
(You know it well!)
Check the facts…
And ring that bell!

About the Song
Fact-checking organizations have documented tens of thousands of false or misleading statements by Donald Trump throughout his political career. Because tracking criteria and scopes differ among media outlets, there is no single consensus figure, but comprehensive databases provide the following counts:
• The Washington Post Fact Checker: 30,573 false or misleading claims
• PolitiFact: rated approximately 76% of the Trump statements they examined as “Mostly False,” “False,” or “Pants on Fire”.

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Tambourine, Drums]

[Intro]
Round and round the stories go
What he’ll do, we never know
Pumpkin head upon the throne
Smashing things he doesn’t own!

[Verse 1]
Promises piled up to the sky
Ask him why and hear him lie
Every deal’s a private score
Who’s gonna pay for this encore?

Cut the funds and raise the price
Sell us trouble, call it nice
Shake the tree and take the fruit
Then blame the people at the root!

[Refrain]
Is he out of his gourd
(Has he lost his mind)
More than we can afford
(Fallin’ further behind!)

Robbin’ us blind
(To be abrupt – corrupt)
Far, far from kind
(A mean obscene scene)

[Verse 2]
Look at all the bills we pay
While the grifters get their way
Working folks are stretched too thin
Who’s outside and who’s cashin’ in?

Rules for you and rules for me
Different rules for royalty
Tell us all we’re doin’ fine
While they help themselves to mine!

[Refrain]
Is he out of his gourd
(Has he lost his mind)
More than we can afford
(Fallin’ further behind!)

Robbin’ us blind
(To be abrupt – corrupt)
Far, far from kind
(A mean obscene scene)

[Bridge]
Gourd’s got a hole
(Where’d go the soul?)
Seeds on the floor
(What’s he takin’ us for?)

Big orange grin
(Where do we begin?)
Round as can be
(But who’s gettin’ free?)

The louder the boast
(The more we all roast)
The bigger the show
(The less we really know!)

[Verse 3]
Count the cost and check the score
Ask who’s richer than before
When the truth comes knocking loud
Can he fool the whole darn crowd?

[Refrain]
Is he out of his gourd
(Has he lost his mind)
More than we can afford
(Fallin’ further behind!)

Robbin’ us blind
(To be abrupt – corrupt)
Far, far from kind
(A mean obscene scene)

Gourd! (Gourd!) Out of his gourd!
Who’s gonna foot the bill?
Gourd! (Gourd!) Out of his gourd!
Who’s got the power still?

[Final Refrain]
Is he out of his gourd
(Has he lost his mind)
More than we can afford
(Fallin’ further behind!)

Robbin’ us blind
(To be abrupt – corrupt)
Far, far from kind
(A mean obscene scene)

Is he out of his gourd
(Or is this by design?)
Who’s keepin’ the score
(While we’re payin’ the fine?)

Robbin’ us blind
(It’s a hell of a grind)
Far, far from kind
(What a mean obscene scene!)

[Outro]
Round and round the stories go
Seeds of truth are all we sow
When the bills come due at last
Who’s gonna answer for the past?

Out of his gourd!
(Out of control!)
Out of his gourd!

Wanna be, wanna be
Who you really wanna be?
Take a breath, unlock the door
There’s a whole lot more!

[Verse 1]
Wanna be somebody new
Wanna find a better view
Tired of the same old show
Wonder where the wild things grow

Got a dream behind your eyes
Got a heart that wants the skies
But the walls are closing in
Let the outside world begin!

Wanna be, but who will decide?
What’s behind those walls you hide?
Is it fear that holds you tight?
Or a world you haven’t tried?

Step outside and look around
Feel your feet upon the ground
All those things you thought you knew
May look different in the blue!

Are you a “wannabe”

(Don’t reach too far)
See what you see
(Just set it free)

Drop the disguise
(Open your eyes)
No need to pretend
(Let the old walls end!)

You don’t need to play a part
When you’re living from the heart
Life is more than make-believe
There’s so much more when you conceive!

Wanna, wanna, wanna be!
Come on out and look and see!
Wanna, wanna, wanna know!
There’s a world beyond the show!

[Final Refrain]
Are you a “wannabe”
(Do you wanna be free)
Free of your cage

Black sky, no sign
Lost track of space and time
A distant glow, a rising flame
Not much feels the same

[Verse 1]
I was waiting in the darkness
With the silence closing in
Couldn’t see beyond the shadows
Couldn’t tell where to begin

[Pre-Chorus]
Was it always there?
Hidden somewhere in the air?
Was I looking the other way?
Waiting for another day?

Paint the walls a shade of gold
All the things I thought had vanished
Come alive before my soul

Two big egos in a room
Easy to feel the gloom
Neither one will ever bend
Both determined just to win

Pointing fingers, raising hands
Drawing lines across the lands

Old farts cast the same old blame
He won’t listens, never learns
Watch the world go up… it burns!

Stubbornness is free to bloom
Facts are facts until they’re not

[Intro]
Lie, cheat, and steal
(For real… the deal)

[Verse 1]
Turn on the screen, another show
Another deal we ought to know
A golden promise, a flashing sign
A little hustle dressed up fine

The headlines spin, the numbers fly
The truth gets buried in the why
And if you think it’s all okay
Just watch the money slip away

[Pre-Chorus]
Follow the dollars, follow the trail
Listen close when the stories fail
When the smoke clears, look around
Who’s standing tall? Who’s going down?

[Chorus]
In case your head is in a cloud
(I’ll let it be said out loud)
He can grift more in a single day
(Than all presidents in history)

Did you hear what I have to say?
(It really isn’t a mystery)

[Verse 2]
Sell the dream and sell the name
Turn every setback into blame
Make a fortune from the fuss
Then tell the crowd it’s good for us

A brand, a bargain, a grand parade
Another promise that won’t be made
The rules are different when you’re king
And every failure’s someone else’s thing

[Pre-Chorus]
Follow the money, follow the claims
Watch the profits, watch the games
When the facts refuse to bend
The spin begins again, again

In case your head is in a cloud
(I’ll let it be said out loud)
He can grift more in a single day
(Than all presidents in history)

Did you hear what I have to say?
(It really isn’t a mystery)

[Bridge]
It’s not a question of red or blue
It’s what they sell and what is true
Who pays the price? Who gets the prize?
Who’s cashing in before our eyes?

[Final Chorus]
In case your head is in a cloud
(We’re saying it out loud)
Follow the money, follow the play
(Ask who’s winning every day)

Did you hear what I have to say?
(The facts are there for all to weigh)
No smoke and mirrors, no mystery
(Just accountability)

Said out loud…
(Said out loud)
No more hiding in the crowd

Said out loud…

Truth is stronger than being proud

Now are you starting to see…

(Here it comes!)

[Refrain]
Might want to…
(Hold tight)
… might

Might want to…
(Get right)
… insight

Step into the light!

[Final Chorus]
Here it comes!
(Here it comes!)
Feel the rhythm, feel the drums

Here it comes!
(Here it comes!)
Time to see what we’ve become

Hold tight!
(Get right!)
Look ahead and use your sight

Here it comes!
(Here it comes!)
Step into the light!

[Outro]
Might want to…
(Hold tight)
Might want to…
(Get right)

Find the insight…
(See it right)

Here it comes…
Here it comes…

Step into the light!

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
Ready for takeoff
(I wouldn’t scoff)

Flying by…
(By the seat of the pants)

I was flying by…
(By the seat of my pants)
The circumstance…
(… I had to fly.)

I wouldn’t scoff
(Are YOU ready for takeoff?)

I was flying by…
(By the seat of my pants)
The circumstance…
(… I had to fly.)

I wouldn’t scoff
(Are YOU ready for takeoff?)

[Bridge]
Do as you dare
(Up in the air)
Play the day…
(Or be played.)

[Breakdown]
Hey! Hey! Hey!
(Hear what they say)
The levity (of the gravity)
… is getting to me.

(Set me free)

[Refrain]
I’m flying by…
(By the seat of my pants)
The circumstance…
(… I tried to fly.)

… I too off…
(And turned on…)
Now, aloof…
(… living proof)
Flyin’ on!
(On and on and on)

[Final Refrain]
We’re flying by…
(By the seat of our pants)
The circumstance…
… beyond “why”…
(… we tried to fly.)

… we too off…

Now, aloof…
(… living proof)
Flyin’ on!
(On and on and on)

Fly on on
(Try!)
On and on
(Fly!)

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
Avail…
(Set sail)

[Verse 1]
Wake up, the sky is calling
Blue horizons, not soon falling
There’s a breeze outside my door
And I can’t stay here anymore

[Refrain]
Fly (Fly high)
Catch a cloud
(Passing by…)
Sing aloud:

Sail away
(For the day)
Float (remote)
Hightail… sail

[Verse 2]
Drift above the rooftops glowing
Where the rivers keep on flowing
Little towns become a scene
Like a picture in a dream

Over mountains, over seas
Setting souls free
From the things that hold us down
To a place within the sound

[Refrain]
Fly (Fly high)
Catch a cloud
(Passing by…)
Sing aloud:

Sail away
(For the day)
Float (remote)
Hightail… sail

[Bridge]
Up where the air is lighter
Makes the colors seem much brighter
Nothing pulling at our wings
We can be a thousand things

[Refrain]
Fly (Fly high)
Catch a cloud
(Passing by…)
Sing aloud:

Sail away
(For the day)
Float (remote)
Hightail… sail

[Final Refrain]
Fly (Fly high)
Touch the blue
(There’s a world…)
Waiting for you

Sail away
(For the day)
Float (remote)
Hightail… sail

Fly (Fly high)
Sing it loud
(Up above…)
Beyond the clouds

Sail away
(For the day)
Float (remote)
Hightail… sail

[Outro]
Sail away…
(Sail away)
Drift away…
(For the day)

Fly… fly high…
Catch a cloud…
Passing by…

Sail away.

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
Razzle
(Dazzle)
… before the fizzle
(Drizzle)

[Verse 1]
First they praise you, then they stare
Whispering rumors everywhere
One little remark, one little doubt
And suddenly you’re the one they talk about

[Refrain]
Razzled
(Bedazzled)
Realized
(On the spot)
Demonized
(Then cast out)
… frazzled

[Verse 2]
They all love a simple tale
A shining angel or a soul for sale
No shades of gray, no middle ground
Just another villain to run out of town

Take a little truth and twist it around
Add some outrage to the battleground
When the facts don’t fit the view
Make a monster out of someone new

[Pre-Chorus]
First they crown you, then they blame
Turn your story into shame
One little spark, one little shout
And suddenly you’re the one they want out

[Refrain]
Razzled
(Bedazzled)
Realized
(On the spot)
Demonized
(Then cast out)
… frazzled

[Bridge]
Who decides what’s right or wrong?
Who gets silenced, who belongs?
Is the truth too hard to face
When the crowd controls the place?

Build you up and tear you down
Pass the verdict all around
When the dust begins to settle
Who’s the devil? Who’s the rebel?

[Refrain]
Razzled
(Bedazzled)
Realized
(On the spot)
Demonized
(Then cast out)
… frazzled

[Final Refrain]
Razzled
(Bedazzled)
Recognized
(Then forgot)
Vilified
(Like it or not)
… frazzled

Razzled
(Bedazzled)
Truth denied
(What a plot!)
Cast aside
(Cold and out)
… frazzled

[Outro]
Razzled…
(Bedazzled…)
Realized…
(On the spot…)

Demonized…
(Then cast out…)

All that glitter
All that doubt
Razzled…
Frazzled…
Out!
