The Machine

Posted on November 7, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
The gleam of the sheen
We become the machine
Can you name it…
What do you deem

The gleam of the sheen
One with the machine

Colony of ants
Intertwined roots of plants
Have we become one
With the machine

In the gleam of the sheen
We become the machine

What do you deem?

Can you answer the question
What do you deem?
Are you more than you seem
What do you deem?
Have we become one with the machine

Innocent

Posted on November 6, 2014November 7, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Is that what ya get when you’re innocent
When being naive leads ya to believe
Everyone will treat you decent

When was your last trip into society, recent?
When was your last trip into reality, really?
Did your eyes see?

Sss-allah-commander

Posted on November 6, 2014November 6, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Salamander or newt?
I knew it!
A newt is a salamander
Become an understander commander

Do you find the question odd:
Allah or Jesus or God?
I knew it
A subspecies thesis
An exhibit
All created in the image
An iconic mental representation
Spread out through every Age
Fabrication of the holy creation — manifestation

Whose the commander newt or salamander?
Which came first the chicken or the egg
Hard to use God’s name and not to slander
If everyone is equal, how can a beggar beg?

Hard to use God’s name and not to slander
Sss-allah-commander

Just hang on
Superman is on his way
It won’t be long

Heraclitus

Posted on November 5, 2014November 5, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Is there change in the air
Is there change in the anywhere
Is this change uncompared

All a flux for those with bucks

I see London. I see France.
Seeing politicians in their underpants
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
The bigger the crown the harder the down

Re-arrange their despair
Sending hope from here to there
Cause the change if you’re aware

All a flux for those with bucks

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — EE EE A G

EE EE A C
C E

It’s a song about change and voting on election day.

Heraclitus is famous for his insistence on ever-present change in the universe, as stated in the famous saying, “No man ever steps in the same river twice.”

Plato argues against Heraclitus as follows:
How can that be a real thing which is never in the same state? … for at the moment that the observer approaches, then they become other … so that you cannot get any further in knowing their nature or state …. but if that which knows and that which is known exist ever … then I do not think they can resemble a process or flux ….

Bring Out The Vote

Songwriting in Everhart Park, West Chester, PA

LYRICS
You know it’s election day?
What more can I say
We’ve got to change the way
From repressive to O.K.

Chorus
There’s the piper to pay
The Town Crier says, “Everyone’s a liar!”
Corruption — they do what they may
Eruption — the situation’s dire

You know it’s election day?
What more can I do
Run and join the foray?
Wouldn’t want to be like you

Chorus

I know it’s election day
What will change anyway?
The same ole’s gonna stay
Unless we all vote *nay*

Chorus

It Was Just a Dream

Posted on November 4, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Were you dreaming you were screaming
Calling as your falling
But, nothing coming though your lips was ever really forming
A silent scream
It was just a dream

Were you dreaming you were screaming
Reeling from the seeming
As you’re trying not to be the one that is dying
A silent scream
It was just a dream

Were you dreaming you were screaming
Flailing as your sailing
Obscene! I thought you couldn’t die in a dream
Taking over this consciousness stream
To a conscientious dream

LYRICS
Just as I thought I was starting to see
The wind blew some reality
Could it be the conspiracy is in me?

Ahhh… conspiracy taking over me

Maybe their motive isn’t that dirty
Through transparency see more clearly
The conspiracy could all be in me

Why not be conspiracy free?

Good And Ready

Posted on November 3, 2014November 3, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
Creating a brand new beat
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
A beat to get ’em off their seat

If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
With a groove to make ’em move
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
Move as though nothing to prove

If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
Creating a brand new beat
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
A beat to get ’em on their feet

Hang Tight

Posted on November 2, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
You know the time it getting late
An I can hardly, hardly wait
There ain’t much for us to debate
At any rate… can’t
Hang tight
Alright?

Again and again
You say “cool your engine — hang tight”
No maybe.. no might
Hang tight
Not in sight

Ad you stall feeling over righteous
Can’t you tel that I’m anxious
Ya know what would be good for us
The next departure — train, plane or bus
I’m sure… can’t
Hang tight
Tonight

How do I begin
Explainin’ I’m burnin’
Hang tight?
No maybe.. no might
Hang tight
Not in sight
