LYRICS
They say “you live and you learn”
I see we’re alive… what have we learned?
Can’t cross back over bridges burned
There’s a lesson well learned

They say “you live and you learn”
I see we’re alive… what have we learned?
You can’t spend what you haven’t earned
There’s a lesson well learned

They say “you live and you learn”
I see we’re alive… what have we learned?
Can’t see ’round the corner ’til turned
There’s a lesson well learned

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
There’s a cold wind blowing
Wrapping itself around your spine
Sending shivers up and down mine

Can we really be ending
The infinity of eternity
Is there any uncertainty
In the message we are sending

There’s a mean storm brewing
Revolution of evolution
Desolation of our institution

Chorus

There’s lean times a coming
Lacking meat in what we eat
Helter skelter in our shelter

Chorus

LYRICS
Took a look around and instantly found
A brain of feces is common in my species
If you want to get up, you’ve gotta get out of bed
At the end of the day, what can be said?

Get your get your feet running before you hit the ground
Puzzle a thesis and figure out the pieces
Chorus

Is your only path to knowledge to be force fed
Didn’t graduate from college ’cause knowledge you dread
Chorus

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Just when I thought I’d seen it all
America’s throwing a hatred ball
Ironically, they don’t invite me
I was dying to see if what they’re wearing is lovely

I can’t appreciate loving hate
Red in the face a being irate
Is it too late to start hating hate?
Ironically, that just can’t be

Hating hate will just foster disaster
Perpetuating hate faster and faster
Can’t you see that just can’t be
I don’t want to be hating me

Degree Of Difficulty.mp3

LYRICS
1,2…
Do you think we can make it to….

1+1=2
But I can’t see
How we’ll ever make it to three
Please tell me if it comes to you
(tell me do)

Refrain

1+1=2
What’s troubling me
Is that our degree of difficulty
Is our intelligence too few?
(who knew)

Refrain

1+1=2
Sincerely
Is that it… seriously?
We add up to what it is we do
(come through)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Oh you say you want a rump for president
Oh why are you hellbent?
Oh you say one’s not Earth’s resident
Oh why are you hellbent?

But if you want a mind that hates
Get your rump out of the United States
Another pea-brain playing pinochle
Your Trump card’s gonna buckle

As you devour your own tails
Hors d’oeuvres from the entrails

Oh you say you want to stone the stoners
Oh why are you hellbent?
No shadows in your house of windows
Oh why are you hellbent?

So if ya wanna cast a stone
Better come down off your throne
I hate to shatter your “God” delusion
Ya sure She’s Caucasian?

As you devour your own tails
Hors d’oeuvres from the entrails

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Orientation deprivation
This end up
This end down
Turn around
Fragile! Handle with care
Orientation deprivation

This end up
This end down
Whatever you do don’t spin it round and round and round
Are you aware
Handle with care
Beware
Handle with care

Orientation deprivation

In a situation
You don’t know which way is up
How can you lift your cup
If you don’t know which way is up
How can you raise your cup
If you don’t know which way is up?

Orientation deprivation
You don’t know which way is up
Orientation deprivation
You don’t know which way is down
Can’t seem to look around
A nation of orientation deprivation
What’s in your head
Something embedded
More than just a taint of faint
Orientation deprivation

I don’t know which way is up
How can I lift my cup
Raise my glass in some kind of toast
To say you’re the most
How can I lift my cup
If I don’t know which way is up?

Live like a human
Die like a human
What other choice do I really have?
Live like a human
Die like a human
If I’m good, getta go to heaven

Love like a human
Cry like a human
What other choice do I really have?
Love like a human

Don’t wanna be the talk of the town
For letting everybody down
Rather turn up the downtown
And, be the future renown

LYRICS
Your logic’s slippery
It eludes me
How you can claim any sanity
Ooooh sooooo slippery

Beyond slippery
It scares me
Lookin’ like criminal insanity
Ooooh sooooo slippery

Your logic’s slippery
Downright slimey
Void of any dignity
Ooooh sooooo slippery

LYRICS
I… don’t know why
Does it make you cry
Watching children die

Why… let our fight
Cause children’s plight
Babies screaming in the night

Dropping bombs like we don’t care
Dropping bombs everywhere

I… don’t know why
We don’t try
To testify

Why do we kill
Are we mentally ill
Kill, kill, kill!

LYRICS
Take a look at the book
Could be the saint… could be the crook
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

Have you heard the word
Rational or completely absurd?
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

Have you read a page
Golden or in the Dark Age
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

What kind of read do you concede
Does it drain you soul or your head feed
… once read feed your head?
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

LYRICS
If you’re out lookin’ for action
Watch out! Here comes some
If you’re aimin’ for reaction
Watch out! Here comes one

With a punch to the “knows”
To the brain blood flows
What do you expect
When you stimulate intellect

If you’re out for satisfaction
Go ahead! Create some
If you’re cravin’ locomotion
Go ahead! Run, run, run

LYRICS
You’re damned if you do
You’re damned if you don’t
Can or can’t or even won’t
You’re damned if you do
You’re damned if you don’t
Your whole whole — a doughnut hole
Damned if you do and damned if you don’t

You’re damned if you try
You’re damned if you fail
My, Oh, My, enough to make you wail
You’re damned if you can
You’re damned if you can’t
The moral of the story “the morals of man”
