bookmark_borderI’ve Had It

LYRICS
I’ve had it… a long time
Dog gone it… this habit of mine
I’ve had it… a long time
There’s no defeating
Keeping my hear beating
Can’t stop believing
Gotta keep on breathing

I’ve had it… a long time
Dog gone it… this habit of mine
I’ve had it… a long time
Can’t stop the bleeding
Need to keep on eating
I’m still conceding
Gotta keep on breathing

I’ve had it… a long time
Dog gone it… this habit of mine
I’ve had it… a long time
Can’t go any farther
Gimmie some water
Without impeding
My need for breathing

Got any air over there?

Why put up a fight?

Why be so uptight?

LYRICS
Why are you moaning
You didn’t even try
Guess I’ll be going
See ya later… bye-bye
… by the way
Better say
Enough to make a grown man cry
You’re enough to make a grown man cry

Look what you’re doing
Want us all to die
Guess we’ll all be going
See ya later… bye-bye
… by the way
Better say
Enough to make a grown man cry
You’re enough to make a grown man cry

What are you doing
Why not give it a try
Life’s still ensuing
If ya wanna get by
… by the way
Better say
Enough to make a grown man cry
You’re enough to make a grown man cry

LYRICS
Feels so good
Now that I see sky
See clear sky again
Now that I can
For so long
Wished I could
The song was foreign
And….

One thing’s for sure
Long as I can
I’ll be back for more
What ails, it’ll cure
Long as there’s Man
Blue skies like before

LYRICS
Here we go
Turned off slow
As if we didn’t know?
Did you make it
As good as you could
Or the whole time
Was it misunderstood
A global crime
“Not my neighborhood”

Here at last
Turned to fast
Guess it’s hard to grasp?
Did you make it
As good as you could
Or the whole time
Was it misunderstood
A global crime
“Not my neighborhood”

Hear me now
Learned some how
How to tune on wow
Did you make it
As good as you could
Or the whole time
Was it misunderstood
A global crime
“Not my neighborhood”
Yeah… it’s not my neighborhood
What do I care
Don’t want to share my share
No good… I’m no good

LYRICS
A change in the weather
It’s going to get better
Could it get any worse
Without invoking a hearse?
Can we get the sun to shine
So fine

A change in the weather
It’s going to get better
Could it get any worse
Without it being a curse
Without a flood to rout
The drought

A change in the weather
It’s going to get better
Couldn’t get any worse
The End. Chapter and verse
Can we get the winds to blow
To know

bookmark_borderThe Next One

LYRICS
Can’t blame it all on those that came before
Just a generation… maybe one more
Perhaps the next one will save us
If we don’t put up a fuss
If we don’t put up a fight
Do what’s right
Shine the light

Can’t blame it all on those that came before
Just a generation… maybe one more
Perhaps the children will save you
Your heart will tell you true
When meek overthrows might
Do what’s right
Shine the light

Can’t blame it all on those that came before
Just a generation… maybe one more
Perhaps There’s youth still in you
A song and dance point-of-view
Feeling your brings on delight
All is right
Shine the light

LYRICS
Let go of the throttle

Hello? Are we going fast enough?
It’s time to let go
It’s time to ease off
Before your gaskets blow
Yo?!?!?!
Hello? Please check your speed
No time to doddle
Is it your longing to bleed?
Let go of the throttle
Just… let it go
Yo?!?!?
Hello? Is your pension to die
If so, so early… why?
Our fate is in your hands
Our fate is in our hands
Yet, who understands?

LYRICS
I came upon a ramblin’ weed
Yes, indeed
She said, “I wish you would concede.”
Yes, indeed
Feed our flower

My ignorance begot regret
Better bet
Had to transfer my mindset
Better yet
Feed our flower
Our hour to shower
The power…
… of love

Best to call you by name I suppose?
On the nose
Are you Violet or are you Rose?
One of those?
Feed our flower
Our hour to shower
The power…
… of love

LYRICS
What else is in store
Am dying for more
What could it be
Can’t wait to see
All blood and gore
Or a different door
Will sanity reign free?

Will tomorrow bring
Something interesting
Not easy to bore
Searching for more
Into philosophy
and society
Will sanity reign free?

Depending on you
To pull us through
Be the hero
To go net-zero
’cause we’re past the state
Of a climate debate
Will sanity to rain free!

LYRICS
Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
I get that urge I’ve got to satisfy
Can’t satisfy no matter how I try
Am I choosing to die…
… and taking you, too?

Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
I guess you’d call it urge overkill
Immaturity in the skill
To discipline within
… and with you, too
Weeeeee

Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
That dark cloud that always looms
Consume, consume, consume
It’s clear for me to see
… me and you, too — we
Weeeeee

LYRICS
Taking baby steps
OK, maybe when you were young
Now you’re in your depths
The fat lady’s already sung
All you options run
The future’s come undone
We arrived long ago
Or didn’t you know
Yes, been there
Unaware?

Taking giant steps
Got to make up for lost time
Past time to have leapt
From taking part in the climate crime
All you options run
The future’s come undone
We arrived long ago
Or didn’t you know
Yes, been there
Unaware?

Being in her shoes
Seem there’s quite a lot to lose?
Time has come to choose
The “should haves” or the do’s?
All you options run
The future’s come undone
We arrived long ago
Or didn’t you know
Yes, been there
Unaware?

LYRICS
It’s coming right at us
I can see it coming
Too late to cry
Too late to fuss
Better off running
Look to the sky
Even the birds can’t fly
… can’t find their way home
What once was dry
Kiss it good-bye
Bye-bye
… be gone in the foam
(Can’t find my way home)

The eye of the storm
Looking us in the I’s
Today’s new norm
In yesterday lies
Look to the sky
Even the birds can’t fly
… can’t find their way home
What once was dry
Kiss it good-bye
Bye-bye
… be gone in the foam
(Can’t find my way home)

I said it was coming
Now that it’s here
Thunder and lightning
Clear it gets frightening
Look to the sky
Even the birds can’t fly
… can’t find their way home
What once was dry
Kiss it good-bye
Bye-bye
… be gone in the foam
(Can’t find my way home)
