Total failure
Reality blur

LYRICS
Abomination
A black-eyed nation
Finding ourselves
In a sticky situation
Doing the same thing over and over agin’
Thinkin’… this time it won’t be the same
That’s just insane
Doing the same crime throughout time
Stuck in a rut of the moral lame
Slain our own brain
Appropriation
Of the Indian nation
Finding ourselves
In a sticky situation
Hypocrites fighting agin’ immigration
Thinkin’ we’ll be the ones to survive a purification
Hallucination
But yes indeed through our greed we succeed
In winning the war on self-mutilation
Degradation

Em Am
Em C D Em
This song is about hating hate. I’ve been assaulted by the police more times than anyone I know. I’ve been assaulted by police in Montgomery County, Chester County and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I’ve witnessed police and federal agencies assaulting people in many more locals. It has never been about race. After reading a bunch of racist posts about police brutality and corruption, I go on to read hate posts about immigration. Hello, Earthlings?!?! Is there anyone home? (Still no sign of intelligent life.)
The video features articles, pictures and footage of police intimidation, police brutality and police corruption by The Doylestown Police Department, The Whitpain Township Police Department, The Lower Providence Police Department, The West Chester Police Department, The Philadelphia Police Department, Homeland Security, U.S. Fish And Wildlife, U.S. Park Rangers and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

LYRICS
Cinderella says, “You’re an ordinary fella…
If the shoe fits, wear it.”
What are we gonna do
When the human-centric view
Gets thrown to askew
’cause of all we do
What are we gonna do
When it all comes true
From many to a few
’cause of all we do
Looks like we’re in this together
Stuck together for forever
The question is whether
Forever is over
As it so happens The End Of Times rhymes

Not swallowed…
Not swallowed by the shadows
By the riff-raff of who knows
Not swallowed
Not follow, hollo, hollow, wallow
Out of the shadow
Hello Apollo — God
Thank God for the light
Alright? All right!
Thanks, God… for the light

LYRICS
Music is the glue that holds me together
Music is the glue… how ’bout for you?
Music is the glue that holds me together
Let the music help get you through
Music is the glue that holds us together
The bridge a bridge over the whether
Music is the glue that holds us together
The chorus is the core in all of us
Music is the power in our “Our”
Music is the power. Let’s turn it on.
Music is the power in our “Our”
Turn it on and we’ll happen
Turn it on and we will spawn
Turn it on so we can go on going on!

It’s the Grand Celebration
A celebration right at hand
It’s the Grand Celebration
Celebration for the benefit of Man
(hand in hand man hand-in-hand)
A benefit to rid the hypocrites
Loosen up… raise your cup!
A benefit where all can profit
Loosen up… raise your cup!
A benefit for humans to commit
Loosen up… raise your cup!

LYRICS
Halfway to the North Pole
Wondering what’s our goal
Gonna pop a cork
In upstate New York
The music scene’s been seen
Does the pop go on top?
Is what the critics deem
Considered on the spot?
Stop! Think on our own… why not?
If you’re not careful you will
Catch a death of a chill
The winter’s cold upon the hill
Standing on the face of a Catskill
Grab a recorder and guitar
Create a lyric… write a bar
About the folk of folk
Fires of imagination stoke
Stop! Think on our own… why not?

LYRICS
Little pink shacks in the outback
In the Catskills… before the Adirondacks
Chorus
Hey, hey “they shut down the NY (state) thruway”
By the time we got to Woodstock
Believin’ all the folklore talk?
About Bob Dylan
Dunno why I’m afraid of him
Could be sarcasm
Then again, could be the color of his skin
Chorus
Down a dirt road… no place to unload
Puttin’ up a fence… some sort-of defense

LYRICS
Sitting adrift on a raft
On what I thought was the sea
But now I’m starting to see
A different destiny
With the handle a flush
The water starts to rush
Is the best choice to go with the flow?
I don’t know
A moment too perplex
Entering the vortex
Spinning round and round and round
As we’re goin’ down, down, down
Into the sewer ’till there’s fewer and fewer
Spinning round. Going down.
A testament to excrement
Our history as testimony
Created a flow against our go
For a fatal blow

LYRICS
To the graduating class of 2014
I hope you know what it will mean
Getting to 2015
Graduated
Arranged in a series… according to a scale
Graduated
Categorized theories… evolutionary tale
To the graduating class of 2015
I hope you know what it will mean
To be alive and on the scene
To the graduating class of 2016
I hope you know what it will mean
Avoiding “one with the machine”
To the graduating class of 2017
I hope you know what it will mean
If the powers come clean
To the graduating class of 2018
I hope you know what it will mean
To still convene
To the graduating class of 2019
I hope you know what it will mean
To live out a dream
To the graduating class of 2020
Isn’t hindsight always
2020
The blind see days
2020
The lost find ways
