LYRICS
Faster than in the middle
But not so fast we’re not able to last
Can we answer the riddle
When does the future pass to the past?

And, in between what does mean mean
The Earthling beings seem to be being
Reigned by humans… the least humane I’ve seen

My Friend,
As far as the future
Are we almost there?
I’m not sure
Are you aware?

Can we try n’ figure
If it could be found
’cause I’d like ta’ get there ’round….
The End

LYRICS
When you can foresee
What will be
It doesn’t trouble me
When you can foresee
What will be
It doesn’t bother me

As they carry on in Sodom
Nero fiddles away
As they babble on in Babylon
Daniel sees the way:

[Daniel 2:19]…the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said:

“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are Her’s.
21 She changes times and seasons;
She deposes kings and raises up others.
She gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
22 She reveals deep and hidden things;
She knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.
23 I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors:
You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dream of the king.”

Prince for President
With Ted Nugent on the ticket… too
Prince for President
Or would that make him King?
(Wouldn’t that be something)

President Prince on the far left
VP Nugent on the far right
In a head-to-head musical fight
The slogan that will reign their campaign:
“Put an end to political theft
… with deft!”

Out with the daft and in with the deft!

A monarchy in our destiny

LYRICS
Circus mucus
Might drown from that clown

Did you see
There’s a monkey
Running the zoo
… did you?

There’s an elephant in the room
And, the idiot in-bloom
Implore no more do we ignore

We need a ring master
All the faster
For this circus is on the cusp of disaster

Step right this way…
One thin dime
One tenth of a dollar
He walks. He talks. He crawls on his belly like a reptile

(Must be an Earthling thing?)

Worse than a Yoko to the Beatles
Oh, no
One two many free radical for us all
Oh, no
One too many free radical for us all
The dismay of decay
Don’t want to fade away
Fade away

Worse than a larva attack of beetles
Snakeoil salesman are just weasels
Damn us from the animal kingdom

Longevity travesty of me
… and, it’s getting old
Foretold

ABOUT THIS SONG

The free radical theory of aging (FRTA) states that organisms age because cells accumulate free radical damage over time. A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell. Strictly speaking, the free radical theory is only concerned with free radicals such as superoxide ( O2 ), but it has since been expanded to encompass oxidative damage from other reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), or peroxynitrite (OONO)

It’s not as though we couldn’t know
Nor we could not care
It’s not as though we couldn’t forgo
Nor we were unaware
I’m guessing there’s no trying denying

That’s it — the culprit

There’s no deniability
When it comes to you and me
We know very well the certainty
The inevitability
Of our vulnerability
Creating our destiny of reality

LYRICS
Can we speed things up a little bit
Please, can we?
Of course we’re on a collision course
Plain to see

Inevitable collateral damage from the hit
Unfortunately, includes me
But, even worse…
Includes all of us

No sense in slowing down
Seize or freeze
Wear the devil’s crown
Cease to be

Can we hurry things up a bit
Please, can we?
Get a divorce from this collision course
Ohhhh humanity

Let the glow flow to the beat
From my head to my feet
Let the glow flow from head to toe
Under the skin from within feel the heat

Feed the soul on the shine of the divine
Devour life whole
A soup thick with music
Ripe with the sweet nectar of the guitar

Now the task to bask some in the sun
With a glance to those who dance

We’re building a prison
You’re already in
We’re building a prison
Too late to begin

It’s time to shout,
Breakout!
‘take my freedom,
Takeout

What’s our independence all about?

They’re building a prison
I’m already in
They’re building a prison
Too late to begin

Watch the fall… Independence Hall
Watching the fall of us all
Watch the travesty of liberty
Sights our eyes should never see
