LYRICS
One and the same thing
Is one and the same
What do you bring to the table
Is your boasting just a fable
Surely, you’re jesting…
I’d rather be toasting… the game
The matador and his sportsmanship
Just couldn’t let ’em “stick it to it”
Ku Klux Klan with their bullwhip
Just couldn’t let ’em “stick it to it”

LYRICS
Everybody is rushing to have a revolution
Yet they’ve got no system substitution
Nobody is looking to find a solution
Instead pushing for a Russian revolution
Could be the fall of us all (x2)
For the laborers, the hammer will fall
For the peasantry, the Reaper’s sickle
When death does call
She’s none to fickle
Could be the fall of us all (x2)
Everybody is flushing their toilet
Forgetting whose downstream from their inlet
Can’t just keep streaming our crap
Onto our neighbors’ lap
Could be the fall of us all (x2)
ABOUT THE SONG
D Em G A D

C A D
A song about being careful what you wish for:
The hammer and sickle (â˜) is a Communist symbol that was conceived during the Russian Revolution. At the time of creation, the hammer stood for industrial laborers and the sickle for the peasantry; combined they stood for the worker-peasant alliance for socialism and against reactionary movements and foreign intervention.

LYRICS
When you came into view
Wasn’t sure what to do
Lookin’ like a heartbreaker
A cute lil’ riddle
Sure plays a mean fiddle
Lookin’ like a heartbreaker
When you take your guitar stance
Wonderin’ if I stand a chance
Lookin’ like a heartbreaker
Then you sing the most amazing thing
The smile you bring… better than anything
Lookin’ like a heartbreaker

LYRICS
Just another blowhard
Working a snow job
Pulling wool over eyes
Propagating big lies
The facts smacked… the truth marred
Morality robbed… enraged mob
Lying about
Laying about
Don’t you think it’s just about a total white-out?
Just another blowhard
Working a snow job
Time you’re cut down to size
And, said your goodbyes
Your opinions are forever barred
Please! Stop making our heads throb
You send shivers up my spine… you’re that cold
If the story be told,
Your ill will
Is like my tongue getting stuck to an icicle

LYRICS
The blind man picked up the hammer… and saw….
Hitting the nail right on the head, he said,
“How can you ever think we’d be better of dead?”
Can everybody see
The greed, violence and poverty
Is complete and utter social insanity
Institution of pollution
In search of a selfish solution
Results in our own eradication
(Let alone eternal damnation)
‘I see’ said the blind man to his deaf and dumb daughter
Did you hear, here we’re in this together
We can break free of blind leading the blind
Put humanity back into you humans by being kind

A mule
A mule
Do you think I am stubborn as…
A mule
Perhaps played as the fool
Maybe not the sharpest tool
But when it comes to wrong and right
Damn right I’ll put up a fight
Like an ass
I’ll be stubborn as…
A mule
A dog before food will drool
Just how long to be cruel
When it comes to the moral rule
I’m prepared for the final duel
Like an ass
I’ll be stubborn as…
A mule

LYRICS
Just keep telling yourself it’s not as hard as it seems
We can wake up and share (in) the dreams
The sun is rising high in the sky
Before the date gets too late
Open our eyes to realize
We won the prize
Open our eyes
We won the prize
Realize
Just keep telling the world what it is life really means
It’s much more than just kings and queens
Take it in a loving embrace
Leave no scars. Leave no trace.
Open our eyes to realize
We won the prize
Open our eyes
We won the prize
Realize
May humanity prosper in the human race

LYRICS
Toss the baby into the air
Wondering if this life is fair
Ohhhh… I do believe I forgot my fudge
Order in the court. Here comes the Judge.
Toss a maybe our of despair
Is a response even there
Ohhhh… you won’t even budge
Order in the court. Here comes the Judge.
Toss a body into my car
Now you took it a lil’ too far
(siren sound)… bring on the badge
Order in the court. Here comes the Judge.

LYRICS
Consequences of…
The impact of your impact
Essence of love
In fact, missing… at a lack
Social responsibility
Civic duty or duty-free?
Your right to rights
Doesn’t make your fight alright
All right?
Alright!
Consequences of…
The impact of your attack
Essence of love
If ever there, come back
All right?
It’s not alright

LYRICS
In the Berkshire Mountains
… no limit to what you can do
In the Berkshire Mountains
With ease you’ll gain the view
You can not afford not
Can you?
Do you think the bird’s heard the word?
A ballbusting nuthatch
Do you think that bird’s a lil’ absurd?
A ballbusting nuthatch
Watch! That’s no nuthatch
Some kind of King Pharaoh sparrow
Watch! That’s no nuthatch
In flight… out of the shadow
Your desires… living in the Berkshires
You can do what’s best to do in view
… of the Berkshires
