bookmark_borderBreakdown

LYRICS
If I were to breakdown
And confess
Why, yes, it is a mess
Government spent more than lent
President inspires the “hellbent”
With ignorance that won’t relent
Used. Abused. Spent.

Commander and chief is a thief
Stole the value outta me n’ you
Divide the herd by the color of hide
Deep, dark and empty inside

Bureaucrat. Aristocrat. Hypocrite.
The bull’s eye… you hit it
King on the wall needs to fall
Tumblin’ down… broken crown

LYRICS
Twist and shout
Put it in
Take it out
Shake about
The dawning of the day
The showing of the way

Brand new dance
Happenin’
In romance
Take your stance
The dawning of the day
The showing of the way

Grab my hand
Aid in movin’
Help me stand
Understand
The dawning of the day
The showing of the way

Up! Get down
We’re smilin’
All around
Love that sound
The dawning of the day
The showing of the way

In and out
For the win
Without doubt
Shout, shout, shout
The dawning of the day
The showing of the way

LYRICS
Is it the ring of the door
Does anyone come calling
Any more?
A faded memory
Of what use to be
Is it the tone of your phone
Is anyone still calling
Any more
(Is anyone home?)
Might be time to dream
If you know what I mean?
Why wait for fate
To come knocking
When we could still
Be rocking
Jump on the back
And, we’ll lose track
Passing by years gone past

Vanity is vain
Abstain from same

LYRICS
The quite of a winter’s night
Clear and crisp in the moonlight
Frost from the missed mist
North wind wind vane
Paints upon window pane
Mercury I can not see
Temperature plummet… further
Motion in decline
Under the moon’s shine
Now the sound found
Clear and crisp insist
Quality gets to me
Opine the miss
Of winter’s kiss

bookmark_borderBad Hombres

LYRICS
Yo, “bad hombres”
Do you know
The way
Yo, “bad hombres”,
what do you say,
can you tell me the way?

“They go right to the easiest part and the weakest part,
sometimes out in desert.
… they drive out into the desert,
and they come on,
they make a left turn.
….. very important”

They make a right turn going very quickly,
they go into the desert areas or whatever areas you can look at,
and as soon as there’s no protection,
they make a left or a right into the United States of America.
There’s nobody to catch ‘em, there’s nobody to find ‘em.
They can’t come through the port,
because if they come through the port,
people will see: four women!
Sitting in a van! With tape around their face”
—again, he gestured to his own face—
“and around their mouth. Can’t have that.”

LYRICS
What is the meaning
Of meaning
Has it been bleeding
Receding from truth?
In fact, a derivative
Of fact
In need of a sleuth
That knows how to act
Truth
Al alligator
Into accusations
The allegations
Investigator

What is the meaning
Of meaning
Has it been bleeding
Receding from truth
In need of a tourniquet
With etiquette
You know
To stop the flow
The fears
Of “up to our ears”
In bull$hit
Can you hear it?
I wonder
If you’ve gone under
For a bit?

Fish in a fishbowl
Cat looks on
It won’t be long
Until the goal
Participate
In your fate
Procrastinate
Wait

Dear Mr. Reaper,
Can I call you Grim?
Not much of a sleeper
Mind if I keep goin’?
I gotta dig deeper
Before you dig deeper
Who knows
Maybe I’m a keeper
I surmise
I won’t participate
In my own demise
Not a believer in fate
On to the next sunrise

From The Book Of Daneil

The King Who Exalts Himself
Daniel 11:36 “The president will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every head-of-state and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place. 37 He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. 38 Instead of them, he will honor a god of walls

Daniel 12 “The End Of Times”

What do you suppose
Is in those?
What do you propose
To do, too?
Who would have choose
Those?
Now it has arose

Can you tell me at least?

Lucky, to be the 1 / one / won

LYRICS
Dumbfounded by amazement
Well, how long does this go on?
Well rounded in embarrassment
Tell me where we all went wrong
For how long…
Does this go on?
The shame is in the vain
The pain is in the name
The shame is in…
The pain is in…
The shame and pain within

To the past with harassment
It’s gone on far too long
Just won’t last as establishment
Sing along to the same old song
For how long…
Does this go on?
The shame is in the vain
The pain is in the name
The shame is in…
The pain is in…
The shame and pain within

When you say, “U.S.A.”
You give a way (away a way)
Privileged hearsay
Drive a wedge all the way
For how long…
Does this go on?
The shame is in the vain
The pain is in the name
The shame is in…
The pain is in…
The shame and pain

Is a mystery
Is there amnesty
In your amnesty
No? Not really
It’s obvious
To most of us
Across the U.S.A.

It’s starting to show

It’s starting to come true
Through the mystery
Come to be

We come to be
