LYRICS
If you spit out the sour milk
And anything of that ilk
If you throw-up from contempt
Bend away from hellbent

Chorus
And you see
What can be
We’re free
We’ve the key

If you flinch from the mere thought
Of getting another swat
It’s a cinch doing our part
We’ll rule from the heart

Chorus

LYRICS
My Grandma and your Grandma
Are sitting by the fire
Wondering why we don’t fan the flames higher
(… just a little higher)

And I pride myself on not being too proud
Not to quite and not too loud

My Grandpa and your Grandma
Are sitting ever higher
Wondering why we don’t and aspire
(… just a little higher)

And I try myself to be the best I can
A likeness to a human

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
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
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?

Posted on by admin

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

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — A A7
G A

While sitting in a field playing the guitar on the last day of the Stir Fry Music Festival, a fellow sitting next to me said, “I want to keep on going.”

Made in the USA (Barto, Berks County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)
