Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I bring to you from above
Floating on a see of love
A message of peace
If we manage to cease
With the greed creed:
I’ve got the blues
Buy me new shoes
Got the blues
Buy me something new
I’ve to the need
For more stuff
I would bleed
For stuff with fluff
I just have to have
Fad and fashion
Have to have
Without ration

I’ve got the blues
Baby needs some new shoes
Got the blues
Buy me somethings new

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Yet another storm is rolling in
Bringing the reign of flash flooding
No doubt followed by a bout of drought
With a landslide within
Climate’s changing
At a rapid rate
Primates rearranging
Driven by fear and hate
Eyes upon you
What will you do?

Can’t leave an avalanche to chance
Don’t want a crushing defeat
Soon to be more sea in the sea
While we rinse and repeat
Climate’s changing
At a rapid rate
Primates rearranging
Driven by fear and hate
Eyes upon you
What will you do?
(While we rinse and repeat
While we rinse and repeat
While we rinse and repeat)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I thought you said our timing
… our timing is good
Not to fret on opining
… our timing is good?
Seems our sense of timing
Has been stymied
Misunderstood
Was sure that we could
Just knew that we would
Missed the beat
Our defeat
Misunderstood

Thought you said our gaming
… our timing is good
Forget our self-shaming
That it’s all good?
Seems our sense of timing
Has been stymied
Misunderstood
Was sure that we could
Just knew that we would
Missed the beat
Our defeat
Misunderstood

bookmark_borderTime to Go?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I asked the clock
What’s with tick tock?
Just a minute!
I need to know
Will we win it
Or have to let go
I need to know
Is time our friend
Or our enemy
Will this all end
In sheer misery
I need to know… time to go?

I asked the clock
What’s with tick tock?
Is the hour of reckoning
To be our hour of wakening
And, are you a friend
Or our enemy
Will this all end
In mere drudgery
I need to know… time to go?

LYRICS
Something in the air
I swear
Something in the sea
You see”
Do you
Want to be true

Want to get through
Do we
Want us to be

Seldom weather fair

Fewer skies of blue
On you

Want to be true

LYRICS
From here on out
Please hear me out
If we don’t don’t
We won’t
If we do spew
We aren’t
The faster the spewing
More rapid undoing
The slower the chewing
The longer ensuing

’cause from now on
We can’t go wrong
If we don’t don’t
We won’t
If we do spew
We aren’t
The faster the spewing
More rapid undoing
The slower the chewing
The longer ensuing

End of the day
End of our way
If we don’t don’t
We won’t
If we do spew
We aren’t
The faster the spewing
More rapid undoing
The slower the chewing
The longer ensuing

LYRICS
I’ve seen this movie before
I’ve seen this show for sure
Paid good money for this ticket
What more can I say?
Got placard. Will picket.
Oh, the price we pay

Can’t really take any more
No I can not endure
I want to see the manager
I want my money back
I want to be the stranger
Responsibility lack (slack… slack, er….)

I’ve seen this movie before
I’ve seen this show for sure
Can’t really take any more
No I can not endure
Now that I know what I know
Can I change the ending
Before our time stow… before I go
… with the message I’m sending
Change the ending?

LYRICS
What are the odds?
Of slipping n’ tripping
Tripping n’ slipping
Slipping n’ tripping
On the tipping point
Put my nose out of joint
What are the odds?
Pray to our Gods
Times like this
Regret you’ll miss
More future
Times like this
Know you’ll miss
What’s in store
Times like this
Sure to miss
More future

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
We’ll be better off by far
Remember who we are
In times bizarre
Remember who we are
The right has left
The left ain’t right
The social theft
In plain sight

We’ll be better off by far
Remember who we are
In times bizarre
Remember who we are
There’s no hear there
There’s no their there
All unaware
… or don’t care

We’ll be better off by far
Remember who we are
In times bizarre
Remember who we are
Get up is down
Light can’t be found
Isn’t any ’round
… we’re at flat

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can’t you see our cities burning
Can’t you see the seas are churning
Hard to say
If you can ever go home
Given the state of Rome
Humans given up on riddles
While Nero fiddles

Can’t you see our cities burning
Can’t you see the seas are churning
Hard to say
If you can ever go home
Given we’re fire prone
Humans given up on middles
While Nero fiddles

Can’t you see our cities burning
Can’t you see the seas are churning
Hard to say
If you can ever go home
Given no place to phone
Human whittles
While Nero fiddles

LYRICS
Is it too late?
Is it too late to procrastinate?
We’d really like to wait
To have this debate
Surely you must know
We love the status quo
And really would appreciate
Going slow

Is it too late?
Is it too late to procrastinate?
If you’ve the presumption
Of ending mass consumption
Surely you must know
We love the status quo
So show appreciation
By going slow

Is it too late?
Is it too late to procrastinate?
Can’t you see consumer greed
Is all we need
Surely you must know
We love the status quo
So won’t you please concede
And go slow

LYRICS
Pick the battles
Win the wars
Earth that rattles
Open the doors
How to get a crowd to hear
No matter how far or near
How to get a crowd ’round here
To get to hear clear?

Biggest crisis
No debate
Answer is:
The climate
How to get a crowd to hear
No matter how far or near
How to get a crowd ’round here
To get to hear clear?

So now what
Are all deaf
If, and, but
Won’t stop death
How to get a crowd to hear
No matter how far or near
How to get a crowd ’round here
To get to hear clear?

Did you go
To the sideshow
In seek of my freak
Elephant mating donkey
You’re never quite sure
What you’ll see
If you ask me
I’d rather take in

Did you go

In seek of my freak
Left n’ right gettin’ in a fight

While the poles melt
To the rust belt

For sure
Did you go
To the sideshow
I go to tweak my freak

LYRICS
Clouds of a storm form
Darkened with forebodingness
Princess
Locked in the watch tower
Caught in the reign of a shower
Falls upon their head
Forecursor to the dead
Caught in the reign of our power
Human induced
Efforts reduce
My habitat habit

Dust of the storms form
No doubt due to drought
Shout:
Locked in the watch of our
Caught in the reign of our falling tower
Falls upon their head
Forecursor to the dead
Caught in the reign of our power
Human induced
Efforts reduce
My habitat habit

LYRICS
As we approach dark
Will you
Shine through
The darkness will encroach
Our light
This day will surely pass
To night (Tonight)
Will you
Shine through

As we approach dark
Will you
Shine through
The eve may deceive
Insight
For nothing can relieve
The light
Will you
Shine through

As we approach dark
Will you
Shine through
More and more light’s slight
That right?
Bring on, bring on more light
Tonight!
Alright?!?!
Will you
Shine through
As we approach dark….
