Posted on by admin

LYRICS
For all we can save
Come out of your cave
Take it to your grave…
… or…
Freedom from enslave
Free to do
All that’s due
Do what you can do
(You do, do too, to do, do too)

How humans behave?
Come out of your cave
There’s lives to save
Before the grave
Do you believe in naive
… or…
Ignorance is bliss?
Said the ostrich head
Buried so deep
No one heard a peep

Hear no evil
See no evil
Speaks the devil
The sin unto him
Is a virtue
Free to do
All that’s due
You do what you do

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What grows in the garden
Is born to be free
To beggin’ your pardon
The garden includes me
One thing’s for certain
Fire on the mountain
See the see breaking free

Can’t hide from the rising tide
Wildfire to mudslide
See the falling of the last tree

The fly is in the ointment
Spoiled in resentment
See the calamity of “Be”

Out of the fryer into the fire
Situation dire… tide rising higher
See the sea breaking free

LYRICS
The last thing
Is the first thing
That jumps into mind
The first thing
Is the last thing
When it comes to being kind
Wake up! Open my eyes
Might be in for a real surprise
Surfs up! Catch a wave
Come on, girl, we’ve a world to save

Look around! I think it’s proven
Yes, I’ve found the world is grooving
The cream of life with a cherry on top
The times are rife with dance. Don’t stop!

The street’s alive with gliding feet
My treat that we get to meet
Fun and games our humor remains
Feeling sane. No aches or pains

LYRICS
What else can I say
Another beautiful day
Hope is on its way
Make way
The sun is shinning down
Not a frown found all around
Children quick to frolic
Young at heart foray at play
The warm tease of a cool breeze
A gentle wind through the trees
Reflections of my memories
Forever cherish days like these
[Latin jam]
Embrace a smile on every fact
Dogs prance while their masters dance
Church bells ring as the birds sing
Romance fills the air… love is everywhere

bookmark_borderWant Some? (The Law of Marginal Utility)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What if you want some
What if you got some
What if you got some…
But, want some more?
Did you take a look around
The storm clouds are baring down
Raise your praise to the sky
Then, you’ll wonder why

What if you had none
What if you had some
What if you had some…
But, want some more?

Now that you’ve got some
Now that you’ve had some
How come then some sum
Isn’t better than one?
(Ain’t much better)
You earn the diminishing return
(Earn diminishing return)
You’re reaction
To “Can’t get know satisfaction”

ABOUT THE SONG
In the context of cardinal utility, economists speak of a law of diminishing marginal utility, meaning that the first unit of consumption of a good or service yields more pleasure than the second and subsequent units, with a continuing reduction for greater amounts. Therefore, the fall in marginal utility as consumption increases is known as diminishing marginal utility.

LYRICS
Turn the page
In the age
Of the sage
On the edge
Of the ledge
A.I.
Aye, aye captain
(eye, eye)
(I, I)
Are you certain
You know
Where you are going?
Row, row, row
The negligence
Of my artificial intelligence
Do tell
Due tell
Intel
On intelligence
Arrogance
Of enlightenment
Meant
Our brief moment
Who knows?
Cut off my knows
To spite my face
Or embrace
All natural
Intelligence?

LYRICS
Make America great
For the first time
Sick-and-tired tirade
On political crime
Ring the corrupt out
Scream and shout
Ring the corrupt
Wring the corrupt
Wring out
Ring out
Obstruction of “obstruction of justice”
This is a thesis
Of feces
Free to fail
Never go to jail?
This train…
Has gone off the rail

LYRICS
Is that your nose that grows,
Pinocchio
More lies than thumbs in pies,
Little Jack Horner
Humanity’s mourner
Hate’s fate
Around the corner
Follow the leader’s lead
Nations will bleed
Freedom’s fiefdom dumb
Never the learner
Chief commander of grief
Your President
Delusional and collusional
You represent
Fantastic plastic from sea to sea
(Shining see to shining see)
Our legacy
Less Redwood Forest… Rocky Mountain tragedy (travesty)
Our history

LYRICS
Bringin’ vinegar
And some piss
Better think quick
(I’m) ready to pitch
Get a load of this
Swing and a miss
Oh yeah
Just another day in the office
Tellin’ ya
Got to make the sacrifice
Swing and a miss
Make it twice
Now, that’s nice
Swing and a miss
Make it thrice
Now, that’s nice
Have no fear
They’re out of here
In the clear
Make your claim the “ballgame”

LYRICS
Won for the money
Too for the show
3 to get ready
For to know
Better run for your honey
Fast yet steady
Not trying to be funny
No fad. Not trendy.
Better run for your life
Fast yet steady
Better run from your strife
Not mad… more friendly

When we reach the destiny

Of what “Me” will be

LYRICS
Amazingly interesting
Doing the same old thing
Abstaining from ubiquity
In favor of obscurity
The fruit is ripe
Upon the vine
If you’re going to pick it
Now’s the time
Lived up to the hype
Turned on the love spigot
Spilling the wine
To a nursery rhyme

Unbrazenly interjecting
Inherent… I’m speculating
Heavenly subsistence
A lovingly influence

LYRICS
I don’t know (No, no, no!)
Here we go? (Know, know, know!)
Fasten my safety belt
Less impact felt
Hold on with white knuckle
Double check the buckle
Prepare to bring about
The inside out
The title bout

I don’t know (No, no, no!)
Here we go? (Know, know, know!)
Strappin’ my helmet on
It won’t be long
Witnessin’ a new dawn
Captured in song
Prepare to bring about
The inside out
The title bout

I don’t know (No, no, no!)
Here we go? (Know, know, know!)
Going for one more ride
To the top of the slide
will the will to let go
Learn what I know
Prepare to bring about
The inside out
The title bout

I don’t know (No, no, no!)
Here we go? (Know, know, know!)
Fasten your safety belt
Less impact felt
Hold on with white knuckle
Double check the buckle
Prepare to bring about
The inside out [vomiting noises]
The title bout

bookmark_borderTimber!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If I’m determined to chop, chop, chop
I’d better learn to start at the top
Going to put in some think, thank, thunk
Before axing the trunk
Pulling the trigger on “timber!”

It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock n’ roll
Getting there will surely take its toll
Got to be prepared to spend some time
Learning how to climb
Be a climber before “timber!”

I’m going to take it apart limb from limb
Cut it down to size… yes, I am
I’m going to take it apart branch by branch
Only get one chance
The hair trigger of “timber!”

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Standing right here, I see
Where else could I be
Exactly where I am
Now, to begin…
Stand up! Shout out!
Don’t you think it’s time we all move about?
Stand up! Shout out!
Don’t you think it’s time we all dance about?
It can’t get past me
We’re all alone
I won’t outlast me
Mortally prone
Eventually we cease to be
Perpetually remember me
(seize a memory of me)
It can’t get past me
We’re not alone
You may outlast me
… on your own
Eventually we cease to be
Perpetually remember me
(seize a memory of me)
