[Intro]
Black and white, a little gray
Same old picture, same old day
But there’s a rainbow out of sight
Waiting for you to bring it to light
[Verse 1]
Life can look like a faded page
Same old lines in a familiar cage
Going through the motions, day after day
Seeing the world in shades of gray
[Refrain]
Is your day…
(Printing in grayscale?)
Change the way
(Painting color to the detail)
We just might
(Turn it bright)
Shine your light
(In the hue of you)
[Verse 2]
Red for passion, blue for dreams
Green for growing, gold for gleams
Purple thoughts and orange skies
Every shade has its own surprise
[Refrain]
Is your day…
(Printing in grayscale?)
Change the way
(Painting color to the detail)
We just might
(Turn it bright)
Shine your light
(In the hue of you)
[Bridge]
Who’s got the palette?
(Change the view!)
Who’s got the vision?
(Follow through!)
Black and white?
(They’re part of the view!)
But there’s a spectrum…
(Inside of you!)
[Refrain]
Is your day…
(Printing in grayscale?)
Change the way
(Painting color to the detail)
We just might
(Turn it bright)
Shine your light
(In the hue of you)
[Instrumental: Psychedelic Jam]
[Outro]
Fade away?
(No way!)
Turn it bright!
(Bring the color to light!)
[Intro]
Come on everybody, get up off your chair
Shake off the worries, throw ’em in the air
The sun is shining, the moment is right
We’ve got a reason to dance tonight!
[Verse 1]
Put down the screens, turn off the news
Nothing to lose, shakin’ off the blues
A bit more rhythm, a whole lot of cheer
The best part of living is being right here
Left foot, right foot, find your groove
Don’t need a reason, just make your move
Let the music carry you away
Celebrate making it another day!
[Refrain]
Now the day’s been won
(Let’s all have some fun)
Jump in the air
(And kick your feet together)
Fully aware
(Floating like a feather)
[Verse 2]
No heavy thinking, no standing still
Let your imagination get its fill
Rolling in laughter, rollicking in play
A chance to let the blues drift away
Step to the left, step to the right
Turn around and hold on tight
Don’t worry about how you look or whether
Just kick your feet and dance together!
[Refrain]
Now the day’s been won
(Let’s all have some fun)
Jump in the air
(And kick your feet together)
Fully aware
(Floating like a feather)
[Bridge]
One, two, three, now we’re on the move!
(Find your rhythm, find your groove!)
Four, five, six, let your spirits rise!
(Throw your worries to the skies!)
[Refrain]
Now the day’s been won
(Let’s all have some fun)
Jump in the air
(And kick your feet together)
Fully aware
(Floating like a feather)
[Outro]
Kick! Kick!
(Your feet together!)
Jump! Jump!
(Float as a feather!)
Day’s been won!
(Let’s have some fun!)
Kick your feet together…
And keep on dancing forever!
[Intro]
Come on in, leave your worries at the door
A little less trouble, a little bit more
Music is calling, the moment is right
Let’s turn it around and celebrate the light!
[Verse 1]
Shake off the dust, step out of the gray
There’s a whole lot of living in another day
Take what you have, make something new
A different perspective can change your view
[Refrain]
It’s…
(A celebration!)
A real
(Re-creation)
A change
(From the deranged)
Rearranged
(To feel…)
A celebration!
[Verse 2]
Turn down the noise, turn up the sound
Let your imagination spin you around
Get out of the rut, get into the groove
Sometimes all it takes is a change in your move
[Refrain]
It’s…
(A celebration!)
A real
(Re-creation)
A change
(From the deranged)
Rearranged
(To feel…)
A celebration!
[Bridge]
Celebrate the difference
(Celebrate the change)
Step out of the ordinary
(There’s more to rearrange)
[Refrain]
It’s…
(A celebration!)
A real
(Re-creation)
A change
(From the deranged)
Rearranged
(To feel…)
A celebration!
[Outro]
Celebrate!
(What a sensation!)
Recreate!
(A new foundation!)
Change the scene!
(Shake up the routine!)
Feel the beat!
(Get up on your feet!)
[Intro]
Open your eyes, take a look around
The world’s a stage, but who’s freedom bound?
A thousand voices, a million ways
To live your life, to spend your days
[Verse 1]
Born into a world with a place to go
Told what to think, what to say, what to know
Somebody’s rules, somebody’s dream
Is anything quite what it seems?
[Refrain]
Were you meant to be…
(Born free?)
Face to face with reality
(Really?)
Were you born free
(Naturally?)
Are you living free
(Spontaneously)
[Verse 2]
Freedom isn’t just a flag you wave
Or doing anything that you crave
It’s having choices, taking a stand
Respecting the rights of your fellow man
You can’t be free by keeping others down
Or building walls around your town
A freedom shared is a freedom grown
Not just a privilege for your own
[Refrain]
Were you meant to be…
(Born free?)
Face to face with reality
(Really?)
Were you born free
(Naturally?)
Are you living free
(Spontaneously)
[Bridge]
Think for yourself!
(Think it through!)
Make up your mind!
(It’s up to you!)
… to be kind
Question the claims!
(Examine the facts!)
Freedom means choices!
(And owning your acts!)
No one owns your mind
(No one owns your voice)
But freedom comes with responsibility
(And the power of choice!)
[Refrain]
Were you meant to be…
(Born free?)
Face to face with reality
(Really?)
Were you born free
(Naturally?)
Are you living free
(Spontaneously)
[Outro]
Born free!
(Not bought or sold!)
Stand free!
(Be brave, be bold!)
Think free!
(And let others be!)
Live free!
(Responsibly!)
[Instrumental, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
Blowin’ smoke, to make a screen
A polished story, a crooked scene
Who’s telling truth? Who’s telling tales?
When justice knocks, who tips the scales?
[Verse 1]
A lie can dress itself in gold
A half-truth bought, a story sold
Slap on spin, a thinly veiled disguise
A thousand ways to fool the eyes
But facts don’t care who tells the tale
The truth can stand when stories fail
You can twist the words, rewrite the past
But sooner or later, the truth holds fast
[Refrain]
What lies in the truth is…
(Justice)
What lies in the lies…
(Lies!)
The scales will balance
(Determine truth and deliver fairness)
At it’s best…
(Justice is blind, not heartless)
Dare you to confess
(The blindfolded lady….)
Looking out for the shady
[Verse 2]
The scales don’t measure wealth or fame
They don’t bend for a family name
No special pass, no private deal
No manufactured way to make it real
[Refrain]
What lies in the truth is…
(Justice)
What lies in the lies…
(Lies!)
The scales will balance
(Determine truth and deliver fairness)
At it’s best…
(Justice is blind, not heartless)
Dare you to confess
(The blindfolded lady….)
Looking out for the shady
[Bridge]
Who benefits?
(Follow the money!)
Who pays the price?
(Not very funny!)
Where’s the proof?
(Show the facts!)
Who’s accountable?
(For their acts!)
No more hiding
(No more games!)
No more blaming
(Other names!)
The truth may sting
(The truth may hurt)
But lies will bury
(You in the dirt!)
[Refrain]
What lies in the truth is…
(Justice)
What lies in the lies…
(Lies!)
The scales will balance
(Determine truth and deliver fairness)
At it’s best…
(Justice is blind, not heartless)
Dare you to confess
(The blindfolded lady….)
Looking out for the shady
[Outro]
Blindfolded…
(Not blind to being kind!)
Balanced…
(Not bought with wrought!)
Justice…
(Not a game!)
Truth…
(Without a name!)
What lies in the lies?
(Lies!)
What lies in the truth?
(Justice!)
Looking out for the shady…
(The lady’s got her eye on you!)
[Intro]
A bit of this, a bit more wit
A twist in the thinking, a mind off the track
Round and round, where do we go?
The more we think, the more we know!
[Verse 1]
Start with a question, follow the thread
Turn it around inside your head
One idea leads to another
Like finding a path beneath the cover
[Refrain]
Nevertheless…
(A thought process)
More or less
(A work in progress)
[Verse 2]
You take a step, then take it back
Discover a hole in the logic track
Assumptions stumble, conclusions fall
A better question can change it all
[Refrain]
Nevertheless…
(A thought process)
More or less
(A work in progress)
[Bridge]
What’s the premise?
(What’s the proof?)
Check the logic
(Find the truth!)
Cause and effect
(Connect the dots)
What we forgot
(Versus what we’ve got)
[Refrain]
Nevertheless…
(A thought process)
More or less
(A work in progress)
[Outro]
Think it over
(Think it through)
Change your mind
(When evidence is new)
Nevertheless…
(Keep moving forward)
More or less…
(A work in progress!)
A thought process…
(Through bone, blood, and flesh)
[Intro]
There’s a siren in the distance
There’s a shadow on the wall
Someone’s talking about emergencies
Like they’re waiting for the call
A threat becomes a headline
A headline becomes a plan
And suddenly the question is
Who’s really in command?
[Verse 1]
Another election lie…
The rhetoric gets loud
The same ole cry, cry, cry…
About the voting of the crowd
They’re planting seeds of doubt
They’re working up the crowd
And telling us the system’s broken
So the rules can be disavowed
[Refrain]
Marshal?
(Martial law)
Who put this clown in command?
Marshal?
(Martial law)
I don’t understand…
(All over the land?)
[Verse 2]
Emergency powers
Are a dangerous game
You can’t declare an emergency
Just because you claim your fame
You can shout about a rigged vote
You can turn the volume high
But making claims is not the same
As showing people why
[Refrain]
Marshal?
(Martial law)
Who put this clown in command?
Marshal?
(Martial law)
I don’t understand…
(All over the land?)
[Bridge]
Who decides?
(Who decides?)
Who complies?
(Who complies?)
Is it law?
(Is it fear?)
Is the threat
Really here?
The power isn’t personal
The office isn’t king
The people choose their leaders
That’s the point of everything
No crown!
(No crown!)
No throne!
(No throne!)
The government belongs
To voting throngs!
I didn’t shoot the sheriff…
(Didn’t even see the deputy)
But, the gall
(After all…)
Of the self-declared Marshal!
(Martial!)
Law!
(Jaw dropping awe!)
Read the Constitution!
(That’s the law!)
Not the latest proclamation
(Of a wannabe czar!)
[Refrain]
Marshal?
(Martial law)
Who put this clown in command?
(Dam!)
Marshal?
(Martial law)
I don’t understand…
(All over the land?)
[Final Refrain]
Marshal?
(Martial law)
Who put this clown in command?
Marshal?
(Martial law)
You don’t own this land!
Marshal?
(Martial law)
The Constitution still stands!
Marshal?
(Martial law)
The people make the plans!
[Outro]
No manufactured crisis
No dictator’s master plan
No emergency election
To keep one person in command
The ballot is the answer
The people have a say
You don’t get to cancel democracy
Because you lost the day
Marshal?
(Martial law)
Who put this clown in command?
(I’ll be damned…)
About the Song
The new release of the day is “Marshal Law” — a reggae, bluegrass, and lo-fi hip-hop fusion track inspired by a true story where fact is stranger than fiction.
The inspiration? President Donald Trump is pointedly refusing to rule out invoking emergency powers, while high-profile MAGA activists and allies are openly urging him to issue emergency orders or even declare martial law if they believe the November 2026 midterm elections are “rigged.”
It’s a song about political power, election denial, and the dangerous idea that a leader can challenge the rules when the people don’t deliver the result he wants.
Sometimes you just can’t make this stuff up. So I made a song about it!
[Intro]
Faces in the shadows
Eyes upon the stage
Appear to be watching
Yet totally disengaged
A thousand voices
But nobody speaks
… still searching
For something they can’t reach
[Verse 1]
Standing in a room
That’s filled with sound
But there’s no people
No, no one around
You raise your voice
You make your case
But indifference
Takes its place
[Refrain]
When you look out in the audience
(With indifference)
Does it make a difference…
(When you scream out loud)
… to a lonely crowd
Dwindling
(Due to hindering)
The ability
(… to be free)
[Verse 2]
No crowd did gather
No crowd to cheer
But still are frightened
Of what they hear
[Refrain]
When you look out in the audience
(With indifference)
Does it make a difference…
(When you scream out loud)
… to a lonely crowd
Are you aware…
(There’s no one there?)
Forever dwindling
(Due to hindering)
Their ability
(… to be free)
[Bridge]
Are you listening?
(Or just waiting?)
Are you thinking?
(Or debating?)
Are you speaking?
(Or retreating?)
Are you aware…
(There’s no one there?)
[Instrumental Break]
(Alone in a crowd…)
(Screaming out loud…)
(Anybody listening?)
(Anybody now?)
Are you aware…
(There’s no one there?)
[Refrain]
When you look out in the audience
(With indifference)
Does it make a difference…
(When you scream out loud)
… to a lonely crowd
Dwindling
(Due to hindering)
The ability
(… to be free)
[Final Refrain]
When you look out in the audience
(With indifference)
Does it make a difference…
(When you scream out loud)
… to a lonely crowd
Still listening
(Still questioning)
The ability
(… to be free)
[Outro]
Are you aware…
(There’s no one there?)
When you scream out loud…
(Who hears you now?)
A lonely crowd…
About the Song
On multiple occasions, Trump delivered speeches to audiences consisting almost entirely of journalists. He has also been seen saluting and waving to people who weren’t even there.
Speaking to an audience that never showed up? Saluting someone who isn’t there?
