Songwriting at the 1st Amendment Monument Under the Eye of Authority
Songwriting at the 1st Amendment Monument Under the Eye of Authority

LYRICS
You can’t smoke
You can’t drink
They’re passing a law — you can’t think

You can’t toke
Doesn’t oppression stink?
Placing the last straw
You can’t even blink

Chorus
America!
Home of the free and brave?
America!
Or are we now the slave?

The bloated bloke
Greased palm and a wink
Causing a flaw
And more than one kink

Chorus

LYRICS
Why don’t we all praise God
At least a little

Though I don’t really like to use the word
Thanks for putting the talent on Earth

Please give me guitar…. give me drums…
Please give me management that can count some sums

Maybe Greg Davis on the guitar
… George Manney on drums
We’ll let Stanton count the sums
(Oh, yeah! Bring on the Revue with Bob Beru, too)

Kurrey can create the tune
The clapping keeping time
Debbi Calton introduces the band
Hey! With Michael Tearson lending a hand

Why don’t we all praise God
At least a little

Though I don’t really like to use the word
Thanks for putting the talent on Earth

Please give me guitar…. give me drums
Please give me management that can count some sums

Maybe Allen James on the guitar
Leaving space… for Garry Lee on bass
Peace Creeps and the Preferred Few,
Nicky Sbaffoni, Terence Donnelly,
More than I can ask for… how about you?

And, then…
I come to learn, Fern…
Fern will take us home.

Take us home

LYRICS
Dum, dum, do, deo, do, de, do, dum… dum
At the time, you know the time
and, by the way, on the day
Almost like you can smell it in the air
They set the verse to rhyme
Then, there
They strum
They drum
Rhythm is born and then bears a vibration

ABOUT
The song was written at 4:20 on 4-20-2012 at a reggae music festival, Wall Street International, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I could see
He saw
But, I still couldn’t be sure
If his behavior
Would be peculiar

Will he steer clear?
The fear of those
Not responsible for their own actions

That is
Ornery omnivore -itis
Causing my selfish-homosapien -ophobia

Let’s turn the nightmare
Into our day’s dream
Anti-Anthropophobia
In a social utopia

Posted on by admin

DIRECTIONS TO LIFE

Whatever it is
There are so many ways it can be done
1) The puzzle is to recognize it is a puzzle.
2) The trick is to recognize the best solution.

When accepting guidance from above
When accepting guidance from the heart
The answer is instantly easy to see
As well as, when to start

You’ll know it’s now
You’ll know just how
Understanding,
The impact of your action
On the faction
Comprehending
The ramification
On the population

You’ll know you’ve won
When you know you’re one

Solution
Satisfaction
Deployment
Of enJOYment

Posted on by admin

“I am a stranger”
Stranger, I am
Stranger than you
An Alien?

“I come in peace”
A piece I am
More than a pwan
Are you?

“Take me to your leader and there will be a massive reward for you in eternity.”

This note in my pocket
Is to notify you
There is no intelligent life on Earth —
the third planet from the sun.

We’ll guarantee your eternity
While mine is in jeopardy

ABOUT THIS SONG
The song was written on February 20, 2012 — the anniversary of the John Glenn’s space flight of 1962.

“I am a stranger. I come in peace. Take me to your leader and there will be a massive reward for you in eternity.”
— Note carried by John Glenn (the first man to orbit Earth. It was translated into several languages in case he splashed down in the remote South Pacific seas.

Now that we are hear,
We might as well take advantage of… this opportunity.

The opportunity to see… hear.

Now that we are here,
With hear… I can see. c c c c

corrugated,
perforated,
saturated,
human waste

corrugated,
perforated,
saturated,
with a bad after-taste

rinse it clean,
rinse it clear,
wring the fear,
from the beautiful scene.

corrugated,
perforated,
striated,
through the prism threw.

glistening dew,
upon you,
like a new born pup,
you’re looking up

Am I alert,
To all that is?
Am I aware,
Of what exists?

Subsonic,
Supersonic,
Frequencies,
Infrared,
X-ray,
Why the sky is blue,
All day?

Am I alert,
To all that is?
Am I aware,
Of what exists?

Subterranean,
Angels refrain,
Frequencies,
Of inadequacies,
Infrared,
X-ray,
What happens,
When I pray?

Ring, ring, ring,
“God is calling,
On line # 1.”

“Is it hard to put your finger on,
Everything under the sun?

Or, do you wish you were god?
I hear the jobs pretty hard.

At any rate,
I’ll try to appreciate,
The fate I create.

Ring, ring, ring,
“Calling god,
On line #1.”

Won’t miss you,
If I’m with you.
Sincerely,
Me

Ring, ring, ring,
“Calling god,
On line #1.”

Can’t miss you,
When I’m with you.
Love,
Your wayward son

[whistle]
Fido! Come here, my boy
Yo, Fido!

The animals are running the zoo
There’s nothing much
You can do
They’ve broken free
Of all restraint
Now, there ain’t…
A tame point-of-view

Mic check [echo]
Tell your Ma
Tell your Pa
The sheep say baa

Chorus

Mic check [echo]
Tell your brother
Tell your sister
The mounted monkey will twist her

Chorus

Mic check [echo]
Tell your teacher
Tell your preacher
A sounder of swine
Are taking away your liberty…
And mine

A litter of pigs litter the streets
With a pack of mule mentality
