LYRICS
The coo of the coup is cuckoo
Insane in Ukraine
The slip in Egypt
Can you understand Thailand?

An irate police state
Eliminates primates

The destiny of liberty…
Freedom come undone

And, the walrus is us

Hey USA what do you say
Be a real pity if it comes to your city?

LYRICS
I…
I have arrived
Arrived alive
Gonna build a lift
As a gift
And shift…
Into overdrive

Build a lift up to the stars
Build a lift up so far
Raise the bar
Beyond lunar
More, more in store
A love allure
Love allure

Overdrive
Alive
I’ve…
Alive
Live
Queen in a beehive
Gonna shift
Catch a whiff
Catch the drift

Build a lift
As a gift
Then we’ll shift
Into overdrive
I’ve…
Alive

LYRICS
Could this be the beginning of something
Anything at all
Is it the start of the middle
Or the beginning of the end

… beginning of the end

I know from the day I was born
I was something
Now, I don’t that I’ll forever endure
I hoping when I get to the beginning of the end
I head backward
And start again

At absolute zero
Did you know
There are those
That think we might rewind

Is this the start of something
I’d love to make the most of everything
All my time
No waste of rhyme

Is this the start of the middle
Or the beginning of the end
(The age-old riddle…)
What message will we send

Something about when you say “Philadelphia”
The spirit moves ya

The spirits come into play
Each and every day
Revolution has a way
Of reversing decay

Follow the leader… this way!
Revolution has a way
Of erasing dismay

Are we human
Once again I question
Are we human

Our integrity of humanity
Our responsibility as society

Just listen to your heart
Listen to your head
Listen to your soul
And go, go, go

You know you’ve gotta listen to your heart

Put your blood in the flood

LYRICS

Chorus
If you play like you should
You know you’ll be good
If you say that you would
You’ll rock the neighborhood

The people will stand. The people will stare.
Amazed that you are really there
The people will clap. The people will yell.
Oh, yeah! Then, you’ll be able to tell

Chorus

The kids will sing… the children dance
All the can’s can. There’ll be no cant’s
There’s no surprise. The cream will rise.
Come ride the ride of our rising tide

Chorus

ABOUT THE SONG
The most inspiring thing happened — I was sitting on the wall of the old courthouse writing this song, when a lady came over to me and said, “You’re good!”

LYRICS
When the reaper comes for you
What are you going to do?
When malice confronts Alice
Through the looking glass?

Chorus
The humans in their zoo
Try to weep ’till they’re blue
Your haggis is the stew
Anyone have a clue?

When the creeper is stalking you
What are you going to do?
When ill-vice confronts justice
There’ll be no free pass

Live from KingArthur.com… this is a soundcheck for Idiot Proof
Dm BbM7
110 BPM / Techno

When they said it was idiot proof
They didn’t know it would be me in this spoof

This ain’t rocket science
Nice is nice
It ain’t rocket science

Idiot proof

Mind numbing
Becoming
Idiot proof

1+1 = … ummm… 2
That’s some arithmetic I can do
Idiot proof
When it comes to figuring you
Idiot proof
It’s an idiot proof

You can call me dumb
And then some
But I know one and one
When it leads me to you
It’s not rocket science
Idiot proof
It’s idiot proof
It’s the idiot proof

The idiom of the medium between your ears

LYRICS
Once upon a time
There was a…
Little lamb (Mary had a little lamb, a little lamb)
Does the rhyme make you wonder who you are…
And who I am?

Once upon a time
There was a…
Fairy princess
With the essence of all that’s nice
But, she grew up up
And threw-up vile vice

Once upon a time
They were fearin’
The dragon
Her smoke would make you choke
The spittin’ of fire make you transpire
Ladies trespass into Hades

Are you looking for a knight in shining armor
Or do you really have a sense of humor

The glamor of amore
More. Hey, hey, hey!
