Ding, dong.
Sing, song.
May you be blessed
With Happy Christmas
May your new year
Be filled with cheer
Ding, dong.
Sing, song.
May your next year
Be bright and clear
May you be blessed
With Merry Christmas

[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

bookmark_borderThank Goodness
I feel the days growing shorter
As the nights grow colder and evermore slower
Right when the food is scarcer
Out of nowhere comes a feast fit for the King of Kings
Funny what religion brings
When the discipline of all things
Occurs as humanity sings
Sings from the heart
Of the Good News, music, literature and art
The beauty of the fine arts
As they do their part
Spreading the Word, the joy, the happiness
She whispers in my ear,
“Thank goodness.”

I would like to take this opportunity
To thank God for God
Thanking you gave
Thanking God for good
Thanking you gave
The Smörgåsbord of intellect
Cornucopia of utopia
For all the time we collect
Thanking you gave
I hope to spend all eternity
Thanking God for God
’cause it would be mighty hard
To find a way to pray
Without you
Whatever I can do
To help pay your due
I would love to….
In the mean time, I’m…
Thanking you gave

bookmark_borderWith Love And Rage
We’ve entered an age
In need of our sage
From the year nothing
Spring…
To be our savior
Bringing blankets to the shivering
Bringing food to those hungering
Medical attention to any needing aiding
We pray
Please don’t take that away
With love and rage
Occupy the savage age
X’s and O’s
The hero from year zero

Have we fed the end
Are you fed-up with the end
Ready for the love you send
To bring the thing for which we sing
To the hears of every human
Are you fed-up with this human zoo
Are you? Are you ready…
Ready to begin anew
Look at the view
Through
The eyes of the child
Babe
Swaddling
May the joy be piled

Sigh
Bring that thing for which we sing

Do you wish you were the Grateful Dead
Some sort-of martyr
Or, still alive… going Further?
Do you wish to be grateful, dead?
Born to wear a crown of thorn
Or, still alive… with the gift of life
Grateful live

Grateful life
Cherish the gift
Until your lift
Eternal life with Christ
Eternalness of Christmas

As it’s told
Turn to cold
The winter did
Never too old
Learn to fold
Back into the kid
The child you once were
The rest of your life
Just a blur
Back to Mother Nature
Your wife
Under the star
The child you are
Back from afar
The child you are
The trumpets blare
Now you’re aware
Of the child you are
The bells ring true
Of the child in you
Of the child you are

Heart And Soul?
What happens when the heart is ripped from the soul? What happens when the soul is ripped from the heart? This song is about exodus of the music committee from Occupy Philly.
LYRICS
Whirring of the whirlybird
Overhead
Bringing on fear…
Dread
Rumors, gossip…
Over what’s been said
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Waiting for an onslaught of the assault cop
Gone to hell
All that’s left…
A shell
Heart ripped from soul
Soul ripped from heart
Twisted
Torn apart
What’s the toll of your goal
Resisted
A fresh start

Press the press
For nothing less
Than the truth
Press the press’s button
To turn on
The wisdom tooth
To turn off
The aloof
Are those in P.R.
Really that far
From reality of disparity
Disparity of sincerity
The rarity of ability
To annunciate their state
Seek their fate

Baaaaaa
Blah check
Blaaaaaah
Wear a funny hat
Wear a funny heart
Wear a funky charm
Stand on stage
Rage
For authority
In hypocrisy
Of our age
Bringing harm
Instead of help
False alarm yelp

bookmark_borderQuestion Less
How can you hoard
When you’re homeless
You’re never board with Earth
When Earth’s your nest
Trying to find the ends
To make ends meet
Thank God, Mother Nature lends
Shelter, drink and something to eat
That’s good… Mother Nature sends
Why do humans hoard
When they need less
Squirrel away for their rainy day
Creating a mess
For those with less
No measure of success
Comparing oneself to the homeless
No measure of success
Compared to worthless
