[Upbeat, anthemic rock with driving guitars, pounding drums, handclaps, and big gang vocals. An optimistic, forward-moving chorus that builds into a powerful singalong finale.]

[Intro]
Hey, hey, hey!
Whoa-oh, oh-oh!
Hey, hey, hey!
I’m on my way!

[Verse 1]
I’ve seen the darkness, I’ve felt the rain
I’ve watched the world go round again
Now the morning brings a light
Another chance to get it right

No looking back at yesterday
No wasting time on what they say
I’ve got a dream I can’t ignore
Taking the step means so much more

[Refrain]
Yes…
(I’m on my way)
Hey, hey, hey!

For the best…

Hey, hey, hey!

(Hey, hey, hey)
I’m on my way
(To a better day)

[Verse 2]
We’re all just trying to find our place
To leave a little hope and grace
A little kindness, a little truth
A chance to dream like we did in youth

We don’t need riches piled up high
Just open hearts and an open sky
And if we stumble, if we fall
We’ll rise together, one and all

Hey, hey, hey!

(Hey, hey, hey)
I’m on my way
(To a better day)

[Bridge]
No more waiting for a sign
No more standing out of line
Feel the heartbeat, hear the sound
Telling us there’s a way around

If you hear me, sing along
If you feel it, make it strong
Side by side, we’ll find the way
We’re building a better day!

Hey!
Are you ready?
(Hey, hey, hey!)

Are you coming?
(I’m on my way!)
Keep on moving!
(Hey, hey, hey!)

Keep on believing!

[Style: Melodic alternative rock with jangling guitars, a hypnotic bass line, driving drums, and a slightly psychedelic edge. Intimate verses build into an infectious, danceable refrain. A song about stumbling into an unexpected answer, only to discover that the answer opens up a more intriguing question.]

[Intro]
Walking in circles
Following signs
Looking for something
I couldn’t define

A door left open
A light in the rain
A voice in the distance
Calling my name

[Verse 1]
I wasn’t looking for a reason
Wasn’t searching for a clue
I was halfway through the evening
When the world came into view

[Pre-Chorus]
You can look until you’re blind
Chase the truth you hope to find
Then the universe rearranges
… questioning the definition of strange

[Refrain]
I stumbled upon…
(The answer)

The question…
(“Be my dancer”)

I stumbled upon…
(The answer)

The question…
(“Will you be my dancer”)

[Verse 2]
The answer wasn’t the ending
… rather another start
The truth worth defending
Leaves a doorway to the heart

One more step into the unknown
One more rhythm in the air
I was dancing on my own
Then I turned and you were there

[Refrain]
I stumbled upon…
(The answer)

The question…
(“Will you be my dancer?”)

I stumbled upon…
(The answer)

The suggestion…
(“Be my dancer”)

The answer came to me
Dancing to the melody
… sets the question free

Step to the left
Step to the right
Turn with the rhythm
Into the light

[Refrain]
I stumbled upon…
(The answer)

The question…
(“Will you be my dancer?”)

I stumbled upon…
(The answer)

The suggestion…
(“Be a dancer”)

I stumbled upon…

Dance…

I stumbled upon…

The question’s…

“Be a dancer?”
DANCE!

[Final]
I stumbled upon…

The question…
(“Will you be my dancer!”)

I stumbled upon…

[Outro]
I wasn’t looking
I didn’t plan
I found the answer
When you took my hand

I stumbled upon…

The question…
(“Be my dancer!”)

One little question
One little chance
I found the answer…

When you asked me to dance.

One, two…
(One, two…)
And they’re off!

Off and running, nobody knows
Where the finish line is, or how it goes
Dust in the air and a blur of faces
Hush! Now… “off to the races!”

The rabbit’s running with a watch in hand
Says there’s no time to understand

A thousand thoughts inside your head
You think you’re choosing where to go

A little less there…
A world full of people
Who just don’t care.

You pass me by
With vacant stares…
Is anybody home
Behind that carefully careless airs?

[Verse 1]
You see the trouble
But look away
There’s always tomorrow
There’s nothing to say

Someone is falling
Someone is scared
You step around them
Like nobody’s there

[Chorus]
Are you…
(Carefree?)
… is it true
(Or could it be…)

… not without a care
(You’re without care)
Forgot how to find…
(… being kind?)

[Verse 2]
The news keeps coming
The numbers climb
Another disaster
Another headline

A hand needs holding
A voice needs heard
But you scroll right past it
Without a word

You say, “Not my problem”
You say, “Not my fight”
But indifference grows
In the absence of light

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Is your heart on vacation?
Is your conscience in stagnation?
Did you build a wall so high
You can’t hear the world outside?

About the Song
Can Anthropogenic Global Warming Be Proven?
Yes.

The isotopic signature of atmospheric carbon dioxide provides direct evidence.

Fossil carbon is depleted in ¹³C and contains essentially no measurable ¹⁴C (radiocarbon), because ¹⁴C decays over thousands of years.

Observed atmospheric trends show:
A measurable decline in the ¹³C/¹²C ratio
A measurable decline in atmospheric ¹⁴C concentration
A measurable decline in atmospheric O2 concentration

These shifts form a remarkably consistent fingerprint.

The carbon isotopes tell us where the additional carbon is coming from. Fossil fuels were formed from ancient biological material and therefore have a characteristic isotopic signature: relatively little 13C and virtually no ¹⁴C. As fossil carbon is added to the atmosphere, the atmospheric CO2 isotope ratios shift in precisely the direction expected from fossil-fuel combustion.

About the Song
The aesthetic often referred to as a botched, overly dramatic plastic surgery look associated with certain public figures in the Republican party is known pejoratively as “Mar-a-Lago face” (or “MAGA face”).

The term, named after Donald Trump’s private club in Palm Beach, Florida, describes an aggressive, “maximalist” approach to cosmetic procedures rather than a natural or subtle look. Plastic surgeons and media outlets characterize the look by a specific combination of exaggerated facial enhancements:
• Overfilled features: Unusually smooth, heavy use of dermal fillers that create puffy “bee-sting” lips and highly voluminous, dramatic cheekbones.
• Frozen expressions: Exaggerated use of Botox resulting in completely wrinkle-free visages, taut necks, and frozen or sharply peaked eyebrows (sometimes referred to online as a “Spock brow”).
• Distinct styling: The procedures are frequently paired with specific styling choices, including heavy spray tans, prominent porcelain veneers, dark smoky eye makeup, and large fake eyelashes.

While individuals across the political spectrum undergo cosmetic enhancements, cultural critics and sociologists note that the specific “Mar-a-Lago face” trend is distinguished by its overt, high-visibility nature. Political strategists and commentators suggest the aesthetic has grown popular among some party insiders as a form of deference to Trump’s personal, camera-centric preferences for flashy, stylized beauty standards.

[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: Piano, Deep Sub-Bass Synth, Acoustic Guitar, Organ, Saxophone, Drums, Electric Guitar, Percussion]

[Intro]
Step right up!
(Welcome to the show!)
Where the wicked wear a halo
(And the good don’t get to know)

Pull back the curtain
(What’s that you see?)
A mess of madness
(A whole lot of depravity!)

… covered in sadness…

[Verse 1]
There’s a shadow in the mirror
With a smile that doesn’t fit
There’s a promise on the table
And a thief who’s sitting with it

There’s a handshake hiding poison
There’s a contract hiding lies
There’s a thousand little victims
And a million alibis

Take a little bit of conscience
Throw it out the door
When you can’t feel another’s pain
You can always take some more

[Refrain]
Debauch all
(Diabolical)
A spectral
(… of evil)

Lie, cheat, and steal
(All that is real)
No empathy… doesn’t feel
(Launch debauch)

[Verse 2]
Sell the truth for pocket change
Sell the future for a deal
Turn a neighbor into numbers
Turn a wound into a spiel

Make the greedy look like winners
Make the ruthless look refined
Put a price tag on compassion
Leave the human heart behind

If the people start complaining
Call their suffering a show
If the evidence gets ugly
Tell the audience to go

There’s a ladder made of broken trust
And a throne built out of fear
And the ones who climb the highest
Never seem to shed a tear

[Refrain]
Debauch all
(Diabolical)
A spectral
(… of evil)

Lie, cheat, and steal
(All that is real)
No empathy… doesn’t feel
(Launch debauch)

When conscience becomes inconvenient
(Throw conscience away)
When truth becomes a liability
(Make truth obey)

When cruelty becomes business
(And greed becomes law)
When the powerful take everything
(In jaw-dropping awe)

Lie!
(That’s the ticket!)
Cheat!
(Go on, get it!)
Steal!
(What’s the deal?)

No remorse!
(Stay the course!)

Who took the money?
(Who took the cash?)
… it really isn’t funny
(Deserving of a lash)

Who told the lie?
(Money answers why)
Who gets the benefit?
(The ones up high!)

Where’s the conscience?
(Out of sight!)
Where’s the compassion?
(Left the fight!)

What happens next?
(We choose the plot!)
Debauch all?
(Or stop the rot!)

[Refrain]
Debauch all
(Diabolical)
A spectral
(… of evil)

[Final Refrain]
Debauch all
(Diabolical)
A spectral
(… of evil)

Lie, cheat, and steal
(All that is real)
No empathy… doesn’t feel
(Launch debauch!)

[Outro]
Debauch all
(Expose the rot!)
Debauch all
(Forget me not!)

Lie, cheat, and steal
(That’s not the deal!)
No empathy… doesn’t feel
(We know the real!)

[Outro]
No shame!
(Lust fame!)
No conscience?
(Pay the consequence!)
Take it all!
(Watch it fall!)

[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: Piano, Deep Sub-Bass Synth, Harmonica, Organ, Saxophone, Drums, Electric Guitar, Percussion]

[Intro]
But, but (… butter?)

Well, well, well…
What’s it gonna be?
A bigger pile of weapons…
Or your lunch for free?

You can build a bigger cannon,
You can polish up the brass,
But if everybody’s hungry,
How long’s the party gonna last?

[Verse 1]
There’s a factory on the corner
Making bullets by the ton
There’s a kid across the street
Who hasn’t eaten since the sun

[Pre-Chorus]
Move it to the left
(Move it to the right)
Count the cost
(Of your fight)

[Refrain]
Guns or butter
(You better get some)
Guns or butter
(You just might get none)

Butter’s better
(Guns on the run)
Make you bitter
(Ruin the fun)

[Verse 2]
Build another battleship
Build another missile shield
Who’ll be left to pay the bill
When the hungry take the field?

[Pre-Chorus]
Raise the budget
(Raise the stakes)
Cut the table
(Who cuts the cake?)

[Refrain]
Guns or butter
(You better get some)
Guns or butter
(You just might get none)

Butter’s better
(Guns on the run)
Make you bitter
(Ruin the fun)

[Bridge – Half-time, bass and drums]
Guns might guard the border
(Guns might win a fight)
But butter feeds the children
(Each day through sthe night)

No bread, no butter
(No peace of mind)
No room at the table
(What did you find?)

A mountain of steel
(A mountain of debt)
The biggest gun in the world
Can’t be supper yet!

Guns! Guns! Guns!
(Who’s paying the bill?)
Butter! Butter!
(Who’s working the till?)

Guns! Guns! Guns!
(Shiny and new!)
Butter! Butter!
(What about you?)

What do you eat?
(Bread and butter!)
What do you need?
(Not endless slaughter!)

[Final Refrain]
Guns or butter
(You better get some)
Guns or butter
(You just might get none)

Butter’s better
(Guns on the run)
Make you bitter
(Ruin the fun)

[Outro]
Guns or butter
(It’s not just a game)
Guns or butter
(Who’s left to blame?)

Butter’s better
(When the day is done)
You can’t eat bullets
(But you can feed someone!)

But, but … butter
(Would be better)
Win the battle if you’re able…
And still lose the dinner table.

[Intro]
Breaking news!
(Who’s breaking what?)
Another truth!
(Or maybe whatnot!)
The facts are facts
(Until they’re not)
Welcome to the circus
(Where the clowns call the shots!)

[Verse 1]
Wake up, check your timeline
See what everybody knows
Yet another prime time crime
Spun so the rumor grows

A rumor gets a rocket
A lie gets running shoes
And facts are in the corner
With a serious case of the blues

[Refrain]
Social truth
(Are you serious?)
Know’s no couth
(Must be delirious)

Nothing you do
(Is true)
Inflicting your insanity
(On all of humanity)

Shame, shame, shame
(You’re to blame)

[Verse 2]
You bend what is true
Till it breaks in half
Take a fact, twist it n’ spew
Turn the whole thing into laugh

Make an enemy of reason
Make a hero of deceit
Then convince the whole damn crowd
That the lies are indiscreet

[Refrain]
Social truth
(Are you serious?)
Know’s no couth
(Must be delirious)

Nothing you do
(Is true)
Inflicting your insanity
(On all of humanity)

Shame, shame, shame
(You’re to blame)

Truth is not a popularity contest
(Not a vote, not a trend)
A million people repeating a falsehood
(Doesn’t make it true in the end)

You can fool a few
(You can fool a crowd)
You can make a lie
(Sound awfully loud)

But reality keeps knocking
(At the door you barricade)
You can argue with the mirror
(But the image doesn’t fade!)

Fact check!
(What the heck?)
Double check!
(Who’s a wreck?)

Clickbait!
(Too late!)
Truth serum!
(Who can hear ’em?)

Is it factual…
(… or theatrical!)
Can you conceive
(How they believe)
Hook, line, and sinker
(Swallowed the thinker)

[Final Refrain]
Social truth
(Are you serious?)
Know’s no couth
(Must be delirious)

Nothing you do
(Is true)
Inflicting your insanity
(On all of humanity)

Shame, shame, shame
(You’re to blame)

[Outro]
Social truth
(Who’s keeping score?)
Social truth
(We can’t take much more!)

Shame, shame, shame
(Stop playing the game!)
Shame, shame, shame
(Truth isn’t yours to rename!)

Social truth…
(Are you serious?)
Social truth…
(Or just delirious?)

Lame (brain)
