LYRICS
Does it matter
Does it matter not?
It ain’t gonna matter
If you choose knot
Tied up in yourself
Is no way to eternal health
Tied up in “me, my, mine”
Is no way to spend your time
Don’t take the low road
Please take the high
If you try, there’s a chance we’ll all get by

No one wants…
No one wants…
No one wants to die
Just try…
To bring me back dead or alive
You think the hangman’s comin’
Try bringing me back dead or alive
You thing the guillotine’s fallin’
Try bringing me back dead or alive

LYRICS
Walking up hill… against the wind
It’s hard to explain where to begin
Heaven or hell… Lord knows I’ve sinned
Just glad I remain whole within
If you wanna get to society hill
And, you’re prepared to kill
You’d be better off by far
By choosing not to mar
Walking’s a skill… all humans find
Your first real pain since you began
It’s hard to tell less you’ve been in that bind
Watcha can’t or watcha can

LYRICS
In a binary world
You’re made up of ones and zeros
You’re either with villains
Or, heroes
A black and white world
Of laughter and of tears
You’ll either be chillin’
Or, full of your fears
Might as well live in a fanciful fantasy
I’m livin’ my life
For todays and tomorrows
No sense livin’ in a redundant factory
I’m lovin’ my life
Of todays and tomorrows

LYRICS
I know that we’re neighbors
I know that we’re friends
I know where you are
I know where you’ve been
I know your means
And, I know your ends
I know your whores
And, I know your kin
I know things about you
That I really can’t explain
But, for the life of me
I can’t remember your name

LYRICS
Just wait ’till after dark
Catch sight of the spark
The flight of the lark
Stop! Look! Hark!
As dusk turns to dark you can make your mark
You’ll see after dark
The glow of an eye bright in the night. (Sight!)
You’ll see after dark
Chorus
As lust turns to love you get to embark
You’ll see after dark
There is you and I… going on our insight
You’ll see after dark

LYRICS
Just hit the panic button
That’s all you need do
Just hit the panic button
For an aid parade to you
You tune into the news
Things you’re seeing
Giving you the blues
Lightning! Fire!
Armageddon desire?
You tune into the news
The things that’re being
Making us lose
Frightening! Liar!

This song was inspired by an Eyewitness News Channel 3 Philadelphia crew filming in West Chester, PA. And, since I invented the panic button for the world wide web, it seemed like an entertaining idea.

I got it
I get it
Don’t ever forget it
I got it
I get it
You’ll come to regret it
I got it
I get it
Don’t ever forget it
If you don’t mend your way
All the lies that you say
Redemption you can’t pray
Until your dieing day
Repeat Verse
If you don’t face the fact
Perjury’s an illegal attack
If you don’t face the fact
The lies you can’t take back

LYRICS
When I was carefree
I was board
I asked the Lord, “What for?”
When I was carefree
It was lame
I asked the Lord, “What’s the game?”
Chorus
When I was carefree
Nothing bothering me was bothering me
When I was carefree
It was horrid
I asked God, “Spare the rod!”
When I was carefree
Life was empty
I asked God, “Please spare me!”
Chorus
When you’re carefree are you careless?
When you’re carefree do you care less?

LYRICS
Don’t ever give up your will to live
Forever live a life to give
Spread the love like a contagious disease
I beg you… I’m begging… begging of you please
Don’t ever give up your will to give
Forever give to let life live
Bestow the love so that it may grow
I plead to you… plead until you know

HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR PART
LYRICS
One foot in a flood
The other in a drought
At the cost of blood
One Forty-Four K naught
Chorus
In the Age of waste not, want not
We let the land of plenty rot
The last page… the last astronaut
Engage in rage… love’s forgot
We engage in rage and the love is forgot
One foot under water
The other in the grave
Worse than pigs, for sure
The way we behave
Chorus
One I for an I
Until we all die
Slowly torture
’till extinction
Chorus

This song was written after I read a government report that said over 144,000 people a year are dieing from human induced climate change. Then, I went to a favorite songwriting spot… and it was flooded higher than I’d ever seen.
Learn more about global warming.

LYRICS
Can we see through the possibilities
To get a grasp on reality
Can we agree that rationality
Will set us all free
Can we be more of the humanities
Then at last… no cruelty
Will we foresee our creativity
With generosity… giving freely
