LYRICS
The times are changing… changing fast
Won’t be long ’till the future’s past
Yeah, time is changing… sure hope it’ll last
But you can’t hang on….
Better off letting go
Better off… just let it flow
The times are changing… to the future we go
Won’t be long ’till the future we know
Yeah, time moves faster until I slow
Use to be my lifetime was a whole year
Now a year’s a fraction of my time here

LYRICS
Come out of the dark
Meet me in the park
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day
And, when the sun does set
We won’t be done yet
Gaining insight into the night
Let’s shift out of park
Into drive… embark
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day
Chorus
Come out on a lark
Imagination spark
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day

LYRICS
Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You didn’t earn the blues
Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You don’t deserve the blues
All the time you try
Wasted moments ’till we die
Personal pie-in-the-sky
Question your existence — why?
Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You didn’t earn the blues
Without selfishness
Devoid of ignorance
Never pretentious
No arrogance

LYRICS
There should be outrage!
Who let you out of your cage?
Out of the cage outrage
You’ve set the stage
For the age of rage
There will be outrage
When they find you’re out of your cage
There should be outrage!
Who let you out of your cage?
After all the wars you wage
Why would someone let you out of your cage
Outrageous… outrage us
Out of the cage outrage
Outrageous outrage outrages us
The End Time’s in need of a sage
Please make contact… engage
Please help us gauge
The edge of the page
We don’t want our words running off the side
And the true meaning to hide on the flipside

LYRICS
Eyes gaze in a daze
Eyes glazed in a haze
Can either ear hear
Are you deaf, my Dear?
Chorus
Can you see me signaling
This is the ending
Can you hear me screaming
“Dreaming of you listening”
Eyes stare… unaware
Is anyone in there
Do you think it’s cute
Playing like a mute
Chorus
Eyes open yet blind
Blind-eye turned… not kind
I fear you can hear
Your contempt is clear

LYRICS
Looks like we’re in for a chain reaction
Won’t be a matter of our satisfaction
Looks like we’re in for constant action
Object in motion in perpetual motion

Looks like we’re in for a chin reaction
Won’t be a matter of our satisfaction
Looks like we’re in for constant action
Object in motion in perpetual motion

Looks like we’re in for a chin reaction
Won’t be a matter of our satisfaction
Looks like we’re in for constant action
Object in motion in perpetual motion
And it won’t slow down
Will exponential abound?

LYRICS
The music I hear
Is grabbing my ear
Is drawing me near
I wanna hear clear
The beat of the sound
Makes me move around
The source of the sound
Must be found
The home of the heart
Is on solid ground
Lordy, I’m homeward bound
Unlike sight
You don’t need light
Through the night
The music plays bright
Unlike taste
It’s food for the soul
None shall waste
From folk… to rock and roll

LYRICS
How do you know what’s missing ’till it’s gone
Sacrifice the Queen to save a pawn?
Spending every hour
Trying to be sour
While missing the treat
And everything that’s sweet
How do you know it’s worth kissing ’till it’s gone
Smack Her on the lips just for fun
How do you know the taste ’till it’s in your face
Can’t just sit in the stands for the human race
Chorus
How do you know what’s missing ’till it’s gone
Sacrifice the Queen to save a pawn?
Will you keep walking with your eyes closed
Can you awaken or are you opposed?

LYRICS
You wish you could live forever?
You might want to think again
Be careful what you wish for
It just might happen
Oh my God what went wrong
Oh my God are we livin’ too long
Your bladder will fail
Your eyesight grow dim
Scream a silent wail
Your prospects are grim
Chorus
Love life while you can
There’s no “do again”
Cherish every moment
As you knew what it meant

LYRICS
The fresh water level is dropping
The salt water level is rising
Shouldn’t be eye-popping
… no, ain’t surprising
Backlash of brackish backwaters
The water table is dropping
See the sea level rising
Shouldn’t be heart-stopping
… no, ain’t surprising
Backlash of brackish backwaters
Our wells are running drier
While the tides are rising higher
Would’ve thought it our desire
To put out this man-made fire
Backlash of brackish backwaters

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
C Em Am
B E Am
The song was inspired by a lot of misleading information trending in social-media about Nestle and the California drought. The facts of the matter are — most of the water in California is used for agriculture. Nearly 50 billion cubic metres (13 trillion gallons) of water is used in California each year. Nestle bottled water plants only use 705 million gallons a year. Almond growers use about as much water each year as the entire city of Los Angeles. What percentage of California’s water is used by agriculture? 80 %.
The real cause of the problem is Human Induced Climate Change. As droughts increase in frequency and intensity, the sea level is rising. So not only are the droughts a problem, but salt water intrusion is also a problem. As these problems worsen, the solution is not to blame bottled water companies. Nor is the solution to build desalination plants. (Not only do desalination plants contribute to global warming, they also are devastating to the ocean.)
The solution is for humans to take responsibility for the climate change and take action.
