LYRICS
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo do what you do
The more you change the more you’re the same
You’re going insane
You and your voodoo

Without concern
When will you learn
You don’t care about me
When do you think you’ll see
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
Do what you do

The more you change
The more you stay the same
The more you change
The more convinced I am
You’re going insane
You and your voodoo

The more your change
The more you rearrange
The more you change
The more insane
You’re insane
You went insane
You went off the tracks
You don’t know fiction from facts
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
you do what you do

The more you change
The more you rearrange
The more you change
The more insane
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
You do what you do

The more you change
The more you rearrange
The more you change
The more insane
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
You do what you do

This is the part we talk about the change
Postpartum depression
Ya I am
I learned my lesson
The more you changed
The more you rearranged
The more you changed
The more insane
You went insane
You went crazy on me
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
You do what you do

LYRICS
I ain’t in no need of a regiment
No fulfillment in discipline
I can walk a straight line at any time
The ability of agility… no religion

Chorus
97th Regiment
In honor of the dead
I thought we meant for a moment
Dead was something to dread?

During the war of rebellion
Son agin’ son to hell and back again
No will to be civil in war (at war)
Killin’s ill… that’s for sure

A monument to the dead
Made of stone not flesh and blood
Spilling wine and breaking bread
Bringing on the onslaught flood

LYRICS
Wonder who’s out ridin’ on the breeze
Definitely an imagination tease
Taking in the sensation please

Chorus
Cocoon cracked
Butterfly unfurled
Sprouts sprung
Kite-wind whirled

The trees all bowing to the breeze
The buds leaving into leaves
Mother Nature’s annual release

Finally thawed from the freeze
Been too long since days like these
Come to life! The moment seize!

LYRICS
Won’t you please pass some more
Though I dunno how much I can endure
But I like it

Indulgence endurance
Is what’s on tap
Intelligence absence
Can’t fill the gap

Won’t you please pour some more…

Won’t you please have some more….

Won’t you please mind your peas (p’s)
And the cues (q’s) to mind yours too
Indulgence won’t cease
Mind your cues and peas

LYRICS
If you go preaching about nourishment
How ’bout enlightenment for the soul?
If you go reaching for establishment
Be careful you don’t reach your goal

What’s that on the road ahead?
Surely, don’t call me Shirley
Ironically, you mistook what I said
What’s that on the road… a head?

If you go stretching and retching matters of the truth
What’s due to the devil will take it’s toll
Can’t change to Superman in a telephone booth
When archaic is obsolete and elite is null
Quenched thirst for when last is first
First is last is first is last is last is first

What’s that on the road ahead?
Surely, don’t call me Shirley
Ironically, you mistook what I said
What’s that on the road… a head?

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”

Sickle And Hammer.mp3

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 G D
C A D

A song about being careful what you wish for:

The hammer and sickle (☭) 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
From when you rise under the sunrise
’till the day’s undone under the setting sun
May all your dreams come true
While doing what it is you do

From when you go to sleep at night
’til that first ray of the new day’s light
May all your dreams come true
Dreaming the dreams that you do

In the scenes from your dreams
Do you dream in colors… ya know… colors of the rainbow?
Who gets the pot ‘o gold
How is your story told?

Ride the time wave of high tide
Leaving the past on the crest of the present
Roll in breaking on the sure (shore) of the future

A full moon tugging at you
Gonna pull you through
Acceleration floatation
Articulation of our manifestation

Breaking your record
Recording your time
See how The Book looks
On the line that’s mine
Prophet or loss
In the striking of life’s chord

Oh, Lord, please don’t leave it to a coin toss

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

Up over head
A clear blue sky
Have you said
Your purpose… why?

A reason to be
Be one with free

Under your feet
There’s solid ground
Can your feat
Ever be found?

Buffoons to the left
Hypocrites to the right
Blatant theft
In plain sight

LYRICS
We’ve been straying a ways
From our better days
On a path of destruction
Evolution dysfunction
Mating with Neanderthal
Going to lead to our fall
Take on the shape
Of crawling back to the ape

And at this rate (And at this rate)
Approaching our expiration date
And at this rate (And at this rate)
Casting our destiny’s fate

We’ve been straying a ways
From our better days
On a path to damnation
Eternal dysfunction
Any orgy of imps
Resembling chimps
Squirting demons’ seaman
On the Succubus in all of us

I fear it’s none too clear
The atmosphere is none too clear
Oh, dear!

If you hold life dear
Check out the atmosphere

Afraid to begin to breath in
If I can find out how to just breath out
Gonna die
Crazy to know why

The ambiance of the atmosphere
I fear is none too clear
Everything that I hold dear
It’s time to fear

Ya know it’s more than a random chance
More than romance
