Hello!
Call each and every superhero
To the rescue
Friend, we have a foe
We need a superhero
‘less net gain — zero
Hello!
Lord, we need a miracle
Rapture spectacular
Psalms… something lyrical
Song heard near and far
Mystical love Czar
Superhero rescue
Save “our” savior
Save our
Save your

LYRICS
Are you crazy
Thinking hazy
Are you out of you mind?
Are you nuts
Brains in butts
To all of logic blind?
Oh my goodness the mental illness
A threat to all mankind
Oh my heavens growing misgivin’s
When rage is all you can find
Does your hatred explode
Grey matter overload
Anger mismanagement
… understatement
As the storm clouds loom
Crash! Bang! Boom!
For crying out loud
Nemesis follows Hubris
Dag nab it! You hellish habit
Ethics and morals amiss

LYRICS
What goes around
Comes around
What goes around
Home is found
Better be careful who I push around
Gonna find out about dishing it out
Time will pass till Karma kicks my ass
Chorus
Better be mindful of where I’m bound
Takin’ in a lesson about taking it
Hold still! This might hurt a bit
Chorus
Better be thankful it wasn’t worse
Coulda ended up in the back of a hearse
Or the glue factory with the ‘ole horses

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
I…
Eyelashes
To ashes, bashes, clashes, crashes, dashes, flashes, rashes, slashes, smashes, splashes, thrashes, trashes… bring on the lashes
Apply the lashes to I
Now, I can see
Eyelashes
Self-destruction
Resurrection revolution
Time for introspection
If there’s to be a resurrection revolution
The solution
I lashes

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
It kind of helps if you open the door…
Before! Once More! Before!
Chorus
It will be less hard on your head
If you listen to what I said
It’ll be a much better day
If you’ll just listen to what I say
Cut down on yelps by opening the door…
Before! Once More! Before!
Chorus
It’ll be less savage by taking advantage of the handle…
Less scandal
Chorus
I hear ya knockin’ but ya can’t come in
It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!
Much easier to pass through
A much wiser thing to do
Time to act your damn age
And minimize the damage
It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!
Listen to that slurred speech
You can barely stand on your feet
Not much of a reach
(To say) you’re destined for self defeat
It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!
It kind of helps if you open the door…
Before! For sure! Before!
It kind of helps if you open the door…
Before! Once More! Before!
Won’t be as hard on your head
If you open the door instead
You won’t be “that guy” they’ll dread
If you use your head to open the door instead
Chorus
You won’t be going to bed
Wishing yourself dead
When all is done and said
Should have opened the door…
Using your head instead

LYRICS
Ummm… hmmmm
Sitting on a pendulum
The thing will swing
Sitting on a pendulum
Now, here’s the thing…
The scales of justice
Will balance
If the judge won’t get there first
The scales of justice
Will balance
Due process will quench Her thirst
Sitting on a pendulum
Do you feel the sting
Sitting on a pendulum
The hammer brings
The scales of justice
Will balance
No matter the fool’s outburst
The scales of justice
Will balance
Jurisprudence will end up first
Into your heart, it will impart a start

LYRICS
A cricket plays the smallest symphony
Between his shin and his knee
In sympathy
Rub those legs feverously
In a party of pity
A butterfly claps its wings
As the chorus of song birds joins in and sings
“1,2,3… waaa”
Laughing at me not with me “hahaha”
Maybe it’s not too late
To get it straight
Maybe to get it right
Ain’t our of sight?

LYRICS
With the eye of a hawk
She let out a squawk
With the speed of a jaguar
Set the liar on fire
… liar on fire
With the grace of a swan
She showed me the dawn
A situation that’s dire
She wants to set the liar on fire
Being stubborn like a mule
He insists on playing the fool
Thinking all will admire
A liar set on fire
This little piggy went to market
The piggy should have stayed home
This little piggy is out-of-pocket
Does the piggy need a loan?

LYRICS
Not nearly near the bathroom
Barely down the hall
No, nowhere near the stall
And you’ve gotta scratch you ball?
Oh, gloom and doom
Why don’t you smoke a cig
While we dance the pig jig
You can’t get into a bar
Ever think you’ve gone too far?
Don’t you know it’s time to wipe the smirk from your face
A public disgrace
If everyone know
You’ve got your finger up your nose
Clown’s pants down
Or, no emperor… no clothes… no “knows”

LYRICS
I, I, I, I don’t know right or ought
I, I, I, I don’t know no or not
Did Id get our of control
Like a belligerent troll?
Please release the police
Seize the cease of peace
Never thought I would say
Please release the police
Never thought I’d see the day
When the heathen would pray
“Officer can’t you see… this man is annoying me!”
Did Id cost you your soul
Neck deep in a $#it hole
