LYRICS
Look around for the downpour
Reigning down on the poor
Poor bastards can’t take it any more
Look around for the downtrodden
Being ruled by the rotten
Poor bastards all but forgotten
The authority isn’t right by me
See the “blind eye” so clearly
An elixir for the grifter
Disrupting harmony
The authority isn’t right by me
See the “blind eye” so clearly
Watch him shake and break until nobody’s free

We’re found in the downpour
Raining down on our core
Rich bastards getting cleansed for sure
We’re found with the upbeat
Singing voices… dancing feet
Shuffle play and repeat

bookmark_borderHallelujah Hallucination

LYRICS
For those that think it’s best
The rest are just a pest
If you try to address their mess
They’ll pass the buck to the next
Patriot bull$hit
Political rhetoric
(This $hit is thick)
Do no harm? Sound the alarm!
Men in suits stole the loot
Savage beast… to say the least

For those that boast “I’m the most”
At last, first will be last
At last, last will be first
Their reign quenching our thirst
Redemption nation
Alienation salvation
(Hallelujah hallucination)
Is justice justified
Is your hide on the ride
Was downside… now upside

LYRICS
A robot took my job away
They don’t wanna pay a man to work these days
Automation, I’ve heard it said…
Is the best thing since sliced bread
But, hey! Hey, hey, hey!
I’ve got something to say
A ‘bot took my job today
(What are we going to do anyway?)

Our future drama dilemma
Puts pressure on our dogma
As they reconstitute the absolute

Cloud vortex gives birth
To the wicked witch of the North
Time is nigh to release
That which is good in the East

bookmark_borderAte Hate

LYRICS
What did you have for dinner?
What did you eat of supper?
It sure looks like you ate hate
With your eyes you pillage, loot and rape
Do “know” wrong if I’m The Great
Fill you innards with beast and fouls/fowls
For Judgement Day when you spill your bowels
When things get too dry
The bird gives the dirt a try
Splashing about in a dust bath
Scorched earth from Man’s wrath

This is the part of the song
Where I ask you to sing along
“Home! I’m coming home”
But since you ate hate
I’m afraid it’s too late
Suffer in misery alone

LYRICS
Tistical was a statistical was
Too late to have been a “has been”
Born being with the being leaving
Tistical… not really a free radical
After all
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!

After what id did you should have hid
But no! Super ego left the building
You know?
Look at your feet stuck in conceit
Conceit defeat
Change your goal to the heart in your soul
Forward roll
Into freefall
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!
Let go of your ego
Ego freefall
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!
Electrical juice in cutting it loose
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!
Freefall
Ego
Tistical, let go

LYRICS
Are you aware of the squawking bird
Beware of the squawking bird
Squawking bird
How absurd
Squawked for hours
About hers not ours
Does anybody know
Where did the scarecrow go
(If they only had a brain that was sane….)

Screeching bird
How absurd
Screeching for days
About changing ways
Ours not hers

Relentless bird
How absurd
Acts as if no one heard
Never occurred?

Has anyone heard
From the silent bird
Let’s look in the giblets

LYRICS
Can you hear hell?
Clear as a bell
IF judgment is coming
Why are you running
Well, can’t you tell
You can’t outrun hell

Can you smell hell?
Not hard to tell
Rotten eggs n’ burning sulfur
Nausea and diarrhea sufferer
Judgement day is on the way
Well, you can’t outrun hell

Can you taste hell?
Bitter farewell
An aftertaste of human waste
Laid to waste in our haste
Mankind fell
Trying to outrun hell

LYRICS
What do your wealth and mouth
Have in common?
Money is a medium of exchange
And so is language
Pop the cork… champagne fizz
Put your money where you mouth is
Her’s and His’

Want to transfer fast cash fast
Don’t let another moment pass
Pay your dues in the past
Your word is in the future’s grasp
Don’t let strife
Ruin your life
Free yourself from the chains of exchange
Make Mother Nature your wife
Put your money where your mouth is
There’s an urgency in this currency quiz
Her’s and His’

LYRICS
Free looks here
Free looks hear
In case I’m not clear
You can listen, too
Sing and dance… do what you wanna do

Free looks here
Free looks hear
If I’m not coming in clear
Tune into the tunin’
Once you’re in you’re jammin’

Free looks here
Free looks hear
Appreciate the round of beer
Mighty neighborly of you
So, it’s the least I can do…. (jam)

Free looks here
Free looks hear
Love your heart-warming cheer
Love the response from you
Sing and dance… do what you wanna do
