LYRICS
Hope the youth are doing well
Are the rest damned to hell?
Only time will tell
We poison their well
With products we sell
Bring on a thick sick spell
Chorus
Discontent we quell
With cracked liberty bell
Until freedom fell

Food for thought
Fear not
Fear not
Fear not God
Fear not
Fear not
Romans wrought
Smear a lot
All love
All love
Nothing odd
With loving God
Fear not
Fear not
Fear not God
She’s a beautiful sensation
Sure beatin’ damnation
A hell of a gal
She’s a beautiful sensation
Sure beatin’ damnation
Bring well to us all
ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Capo 5

C Am Em
Em G
This song was inspired by a woman holding a sign in downtown West Chester. One side of the sign said, “Sin is death. Christ is life. Romans 6:23”
However, her quote is taken out of context. The Bible actually reads:
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
On the other side of the sign, it read “Fear God”.

LYRICS
Start slow… as you go
Grow momentum
Take a little
And, give back some
You know… as you grow
You won’t be the second fiddle
Be a dreamster
Rock star of love
Um… so….
What party you can throw
Stray from middle
The seeds you’ll sow
To and fro toward hero
For second best don’t settle
Be a dreamster
Rock star of love

LYRICS
How can you attest
That’s resisting arrest?
All she was doing
Was a peaceful protest
Then, you come down on her
Like a Gestapo mob
Take away freedom
And, her liberty rob
That’s what I cal
Shitty authority
You know it when
It stinks to high heaven
You take from all
Sucking royally
As if the creator dictator
At any rate
Create
Dictate
Gangster mobster police state

LYRICS
Aghast! Shame shelling with a gas
Kill all children by chemical
Guess I won’t see ya
In Syria
Seriously a tragedy in Syria
Seems there’s no regime
Any less mean
World watches in error
The reign of terror
Guess I won’t see ya
In Syria
Seriously a tragedy in Syria
Bombarding babies like Barbarians
Severity to civility… no humanitarians
Guess I won’t see ya
In Syria
Seriously a tragedy in Syria
A, B, C, D… it’s killing me
Baa, baa black creep… cause to weep
Twinkle, twinkle little star… hopes dashed… helps so far

LYRICS
I’m talking damage
Damage!
Damn age damage
I’m talking damage you could not believe

Sandy getting sandy
Gonna show her wrath
Sandy ain’t so handy
Gotta take her bath
I’m talking damage
Damage!

LYRICS
There’s a wind blowing in
Off of the sea
And, it’s blowing me
Away… hey, hey!
There’s a wind blowing in
Off of the sea
It’s talking to me
Hear it say….
There’s an escape we can take
You know… we can go below…
We can talk
Under the boardwalk
We’ll ascend… blowing up
Down by the sea
Yup, we’re blowing up
And, away… hey!
Where there’s a wind
Blowin’ in
Up against the skin
Listen to the voice within
Hey, hey! Blown away

LYRICS
Though he probably needs it more than me
He decided to give and be
Though he probably needs it more than me
He decided to give and set us free
Change is needed
Change is needed
Take a look around. You can’t help but see
Starvation and poverty
Take a look around. You can’t help but see
People suffering in misery
Change is needed
Change is needed
Your charity is appreciated
Helping others get liberated
Your charity is appreciated
A helping hand is underrated
Change is needed
Change is needed

LYRICS
Does anybody care that it isn’t fair
Sometimes somebody’s gotta say
It really shouldn’t be this way
The police lying about their crimes
While they are trying to silence mimes
It really shouldn’t be this way
So you want to start over
Do it all over again
Push reset without regret
It really shouldn’t be this way
So, It really shouldn’t be this way
We hoped to never see this day
When people enjoy causing dismay
It really shouldn’t be this way

What did you expect
Emergency eject?
It keeps on coming
You know it keeps on coming
Why do they reject
The real suspect?
It keeps on coming
You know it keeps on coming
Humankind’s neglect
Of the object
It keeps on coming
You know it keeps on coming
If you fall, just call
If you stumble, tumble or fumble the ball
Anything at all

LYRICS
Sometimes all you need is some good notes
When words fail, music sparks
Keep strumming 88
Let’s go
Into the flow
And, a picture tells a thousand words
Making sense of all the absurds
Sometimes all you need are some good notes
Hark! Music spark… let’s sail
Strumming, humming… it’s not too late
Let’s go
Into the flow

HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR PART
You say you want another tie-dye day
Don’t want the feeling to ever go away
I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing
Now I’m working on something to say
Something to move us… change our way
I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing
I believe the day is today
That the false opinion can sway
I want to keep on giving
Sense I’m on the path to loving
I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing

Wondering where you are
Do you find it quite bizarre
You’ve been given birth
On Earth
Traveling oh so far
Just to get near this star
Ohhhh… let it shine

LYRICS
How come you’re just sitting there
All dolled-up
With a silly grin above your chin?
Living from day to day
Living in a positive way
Somewhere in a parallel world
There’s someone getting young
TO mirror growing old
So while the song can be sung…
Pray. Play. Say….
Living from day to day
Living in a positive way

LYRICS
What a lucky lad
When you look back
At all you had
What a lucky lad
Chorus
And, they all join in
With the words you’ve given
Make them sing and shout
Get the words out
I suppose
When it comes to prose
Nothing you lack
Please give a dose
… a word attack
