LYRICS
There goes someone with too much cash
Over concerned with how to make it last
Worry away the best of their days
Worry away in so many ways
If you worry beyond today
Maybe you’ve too much any way?

There goes someone with too much time
Over concerned with “me, my, my, mine”
Chorus

There goes someone with too much freedom
Over concerned terrorists will come
Chorus

There goes someone with too much conceit
Under constant threat of defeat
Chorus

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
F#m A
E C A

A song about greed and overabundance. Written in Blue Bell, Montgomery County, PA about the population of Blue Bell. It’s always interesting to me when playing out… that the wealthiest zip codes are home to the most selfish people.

A live 1-track stereo recording.

LYRICS
There must be a reason
No matter the season
You bring out the worst in me
There must be a reason
No matter the season
Justice comes eventually

And by chance
When the scales balance
I’m around to see
Eventually be
Inevitability to reality

There must be a reason
No matter the season
The pig is ripe on the vine
There must be a reason
No matter the season
Humans turn to swine

And by chance
When the scales balance
I’m around to see
Eventually be
Inevitability to reality

LYRICS
Did you give a little
Did you give a lot
When it comes down to it
Would you rather not?

Chorus
Hey! Hey!
Ya can’t take it with you any way

Did you try n’ help out
Or have too much doubt
Did you utilize time
Or say “it’s all mine”?

Chorus

Did you think a little
Did you think a lot
Have you solved the riddle
Or rather bother not?

LYRICS
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo do what you do
The more you change the more you’re the same
You’re going insane
You and your voodoo

Without concern
When will you learn
You don’t care about me
When do you think you’ll see
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
Do what you do

The more you change
The more you stay the same
The more you change
The more convinced I am
You’re going insane
You and your voodoo

The more your change
The more you rearrange
The more you change
The more insane
You’re insane
You went insane
You went off the tracks
You don’t know fiction from facts
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
you do what you do

The more you change
The more you rearrange
The more you change
The more insane
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
You do what you do

The more you change
The more you rearrange
The more you change
The more insane
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
You do what you do

This is the part we talk about the change
Postpartum depression
Ya I am
I learned my lesson
The more you changed
The more you rearranged
The more you changed
The more insane
You went insane
You went crazy on me
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
You do what you do

And it’s coming to a town near you

The challenge of the challenged
Where idiots dictate as hypocrite

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
To your birth on Earth
The fools are king-of-the-hill
Where there’s motivation, they’ll kill

Oh my God! Down this path do we plod?
Blind leading blind leading unkind leading unkind

For heaven’s sake! Don’t we know what’s at stake
If at the wheel, we could only stay awake

LYRICS
Did you ever wonder where the reign goes
When it tumbles
As time fumbles
Who knows?
When the reign falls

It’s rolling on off the hill
It’s rolling on off… still

The king turns to court jester
We sing tunes to support Her
When first is last… and last first
Beggars quench their thirst
In a flood of blood
No surprise… up to your eyes

It’s rolling on off the hill
It’s rolling on off… still

LYRICS
Though I might look unproductive
Playing music on the bench
Maybe too tight… restrictive
… becoming your monkey wrench

I could be the wrench in the works
Screwing with all the little quirks

Look into the crystal ball
See what we could do for all
Depends if we have the balls
Or just their voodoo dolls

LYRICS
Rack ’em. Break ’em.
Let the balls roll
Whack ’em. Crack ’em.
Let the deal dole

No longer behind the eight ball any more
Check out all the angles to explore
Eyes popping from their sockets
Watching balls rolling into pockets

Chorus

There is so little to do with luck
Whether you bet the farm or just a buck
It’s more a matter to see geometry
Whether a straight shooter is what you’ll be

Chorus

Strike with just the right English
Weave yourself into the fabric’s mesh
Some happen to call it The Zen
As it happens to you, you’ll know when

LYRICS
She spent the money
You know she spent the money

So, she could hire an esquire
To acquire what the children desire to aspire

She spent the money
You know she spent the money

Way less than being funny
More akin to a pitiful soul, Honey

She spent the money
You know she spent the money

Instead of getting baby new shoes
She went to the spa and got hairdos

She spent the money
You know she spent the money

When it was time for the kids to be fed
When it was time for the kids to be bed
When it was time for the kids further Ed.
She misled with all she did and said

Going on a fancy vacation
By robbing the kids’ fund for education
Riding in a fancy automobile
Acting like a real big deal
At the expense of your offspring?
Heaven only knows what that will bring

Stampede Of Our Own Confusion.mp3

LYRICS
Who let the fox in the hen house again?
(repeat x3)

As long as we don’t cluck
And, &^$% things up
If we all start panicking
We’ll stampede in our own confusion

Like sitting ducks on the first day of huntin’
(repeat x3)

Probably should take flight
Before we’re in their sights
If they all start shootin’
We’ll stampede in our own confusion

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about politicians and the herd mentality of citizens.

A stampede is an act of mass impulse among herd animals or a crowd of people in which the herd (or crowd) collectively begins running with no clear direction …

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
So, you want to go wailing
Why would you want to do a thing like that?

The buffoon pulls out his harpoon
Shooting himself in the foot
Commence the wailing

You piss in your sink and then stop to think
“Wonder why I have disease?”
You foul your fowl because you’re chicken to change
Then stop to think, “Wonder why I have food poisoning?”

Am I thick
We’re why I’m sick

ABOUT THE SONG

Written and recorded on September 5, 6 and 7 in West Chester, Philadelphia, Ambler and Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.

It is a play on words about questioning both wailing and whaling… especially when the wailing is caused by whaling.

LYRICS
I was…
Naked. Tied-up.
Bound and gagged
In the back of your mother’s station wagon
Hang-on
Lights are flashing
The spot light is on
Officer says, “What’s going on?”

Now, you’ve changed
How you’ve changed
Your mind rearranged
(You’re) estranged

Oh, no
She went psycho
Joined the Puritan Police
Now, I need a release

Oh, let my daughter go
’cause you know
You went psycho

You use to be some fun
But, now
People run!

You ain’t no superhero
With that super, super ego
No. No. No.

Janet, try your switch
’cause less is on

LYRICS
Are you afraid to open your door
See people hurting like never before
Are you afraid to answer the phone
Hear the moan become a constant drone

Are you afraid to show your face
Tired of being made a public disgrace
Are you afraid to communicate
The wrong way on a one-way
Bombarded with hate, hate, thate

Then, please don’t hesitate
To call on God. Let Her mediate.

The place is here. The time is now.
Believe She’ll hear… She does somehow

God’s good grace. The mercy upon you.
Redeem your scene to heavenly… see!

Why not fear not?
