Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Have you heard the word
Of the increasingly hostile world
… it’s absurd
With their might
They block the light
won’t be long till it all goes wrong
Wrong the right…?
Lacks humane insight
Swan song

Have you seen the sight
Of the increasingly volatile flight
… refugee plight
With their might
They block the light
won’t be long till it all goes wrong
Wrong the right…?
Lacks humane insight
Swan song

Did you taste freedom
It’s a decreasing sum
… we need some
With their might
They block the light
won’t be long till it all goes wrong
Wrong the right…?
Lacks humane insight
Swan song

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
At the root:
Well, well, well
What have we here?
Wait, wait, wait
For the air to clear
Well, well, well
What have we here?
Wait, wait, wait
For waters to clear
From what I hear
That time’s not near
Front’s in the rear

Won’t complete to compete to pollute
Just repeat and repeat till dilute
At the root
Destitute
Is the crisis moot?
In route to acute dispute
With nature’s fruit
A complex Eve complex
In dispute with nature’s fruit

bookmark_borderAre We Insane?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Though it happened before
We pretend to ignore
The prospect of more
Are we insane?
“Bring on the pain!”
End of our reign
Will we remain?

Made this mistake before
Yet, again, we’ll ignore
The onset of more
Are we insane?
“Bring on the pain!”
End of our reign
Will we remain?

Though by now we’d bore
Of the misery and gore
“Hey! Bring on some more!”
Are we insane?
“Bring on the pain!”
End of our reign
Will we remain?

bookmark_borderTake to Took

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When we’ve all got a problem with give
Then we’ve all got a problem with live
How much more can we take
No air left to share
Drinking water — beware
Until there’s none there
Can’t take fake

When we’ve all got a problem with give
Then we’ve all got a problem with live
How much more can we take
Said no-no to the dodo
And what about the rhino?
Come on Man! I don’t know
Can’t take fake

When we’ve all got a problem with give
Then we’ve all got a problem with live
How much more can we take
Took the glaciers (that’s for sure)
Hard to imagine what can endure
Take to took till there’s no more
Can’t take fake

LYRICS
Knowing that it’s wrong
Ain’t right
Same old sorry song
All night
You know it won’t be long
Till we can set things right
Invite their flight
Into the light

Knowing that it’s wrong
Ain’t right
Same old sorry song
All night
You know it won’t be long
Till we can set things right
Invite their fright
Into the light

Knowing that it’s wrong
Ain’t right
Same old sorry song
All night
You know it won’t be long
Till we can set things right
Despite the plight
… bathe in the light
… in from the night
Into the light….

LYRICS
Some are living hand to jowl
Others don’t care…
Don’t care at all
The pis hoppin’ in their slop
Gorge n’ hoardin’
They’ll never stop

Some are living hand to jowl
Others don’t care…
Don’t care at all

There’s just no stoppin’
Pigs from their sloppin’
They’ll take your share
As though you’re not there

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The four headless horsemen
Rode into The End of Times
Depicting the worsening
From humanity’s crimes
Remember the time
You were unaware?
Remember the time
You really didn’t care?
Remember the time
You wouldn’t share?
Remember the time
You were not there!
1. Unaware
2. Didn’t care
3. Wouldn’t share
4. Were not there
Justice is fair

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The seriousness of the situation
Is such…
If we keep turning the temperature up…
Much
Don’t you think
Our time will shrink?
With nothing to drink
Our… well…
You know…
Our thirst will grow
And it’s hard to get down
On the downbeat
With nothing to eat
No doubt a drought
As waste from our haste
Comes flooding in…
We begin
The End

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Cast a shadow
On tomorrow
Tread lightly
Cast a shadow
On tomorrow
Thread tightly
The seams of our dreams
Sows the seems of woes or beams
Don’t let my shadow
Darken the door
Of tomorrow

Cast a shadow
On tomorrow
Tread lightly
Cast a shadow
On tomorrow
Thread tightly
Our veils set sail
And reveal the deal for real
Don’t let my shadow
Darken the door
Of tomorrow

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you know
How far to go
Blow by blow
I don’t know

Could you feel for the edge
I’ve a feeling we’re on a ledge
Precariously perched
On the precipice
(My pants, I…. psssst)
Do you know
How far to go
Blow by blow
I don’t know

Could you feel for my hand
I’m trying to understand
On the precipice
(My pants, I…. psssst)
Do you know
How far to go
Blow by blow
I don’t know

Could you explain to me
The myth of destiny
On the precipice
(My pants, I…. psssst)
Do you know
How far to go
Blow by blow
I don’t know

bookmark_borderWonder Why (Do or Die)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As the sun goes high in the sky
The earth on Earth goes dry
Perhaps it’s time to wonder why
We’ve turned it into do or die
We let out a cumulative sigh
Perhaps too late to wail and cry
We’ve turned it into do or die
We let out a collective sigh

As the sky blackens with storm clouds
Thunder roars like the Gods out loud
River banks burst… a new high tide
No, you can’t run, and you can’t hide
What do you call this hurricane
Not enough Greek letters left to name
As the sun goes high in the sky
The earth on Earth goes dry
Perhaps it’s time to wonder why
We’ve turned it into do or die
We let out a cumulative sigh
Perhaps too late to wail and cry
We’ve turned it into do or die
We let out a collective sigh

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m really going to miss you
When you’re gone
I’m really going to miss you
When you go
(Don’t know…
… if I can carry on?!?!)

Going to miss you, air
When you’re not there
Gonna miss you, water
That’s for sure
And the future
Of grandson and daughter

Going to miss you, food
Always in the mood
Flora and fauna
No la, la, la nor na, na, na
Knee-high in bye-bye
Best make haste
Up to my waist
What the heck
Up to my neck

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you sure that’s the cure
I don’t think so
As the damned demand more
We’ve not far to go
You ask why
Limited supply
The price… sky high
Then, you go to throw
Out, out, out
You’d think?
Everything… even the kitchen sink
Taking in… in the age of excess baggage
Again and again
Going about
Throwing out

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Overrun by the rate of consumption
Wouldn’t be so bad if they’d just consume
But they presume
To excrete excrement
And won’t relent
Indeed they proceed
To excrete excrement
Extra-meant

The damned consumer demands
Then cries
About the source of supply
Cry, cry, cry
The demand be damned

Overrun by the rate of consumption
Wouldn’t be so bad if I’d just consume
But I presume
To excrete excrement
And won’t relent
Indeed I proceed
To excrete excrement
Extra-meant

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can you check to see which station
I dialed?
Don’t you think the sounds of things have
Gone wild?
Wildfires burning
While the seas are over churning
Glaciers receding
All of nature’s bleeding

Can you check to see which station
I dialed?
Don’t you think the sounds of things have
Gone wild?
Temperature’s soaring
Invading North — the boring
Ocean’s rising
Is it at all surprising?
Can you check to see which station
I dialed?
Don’t you think the sounds of things have
Gone wild?

Multitude of species dying
While politicians are lying
No one’s heeding
All of nature’s bleeding
Can you check to see which station
I dialed?
Don’t you think the sounds of things have
Gone wild?
