Sea Serpent Washed Ashore in California

LYRICS
Sea lion devastation
Dolphins beached again
What’s the solution
The ocean solution

Are you sure
There’re sea serpents washing ashore
Once more
Are you sure
There’re sea serpents washing ashore

Crustacean radiation
Pollution. Extinction.
What’s the solution
The ocean solution

Save the whale — fail
Coral reef — disbelief
What’s the solution
The ocean solution

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Capo 4
Am Em Am7
D G Am

This song was inspired over the tragedies occurring in our seas. Massive sea lion deaths in the West, and massive dolphin deaths in the East… the radiation leaking into the Pacific from Japan… Greenpeace trying to stop Japan from killing whales… while trying to protect the North sea, getting jailed by Russians… then, sea serpents washing up on the beaches.

LYRICS
Don’t look back
Don’t ever look back
IF you want to win the race
Be the one to outpace
It’s a racing fact
Don’t look back

Don’t look back
Keep your eye on the ball
Or, you’re likely to fall
Don’t look back
Don’t ever look back

Don’t look back
Go! Imagine it all
Swimming right through the wall
Don’t look back
Don’t ever look back

LYRICS
Talk is cheap
When emotions run deep
Wise to reap
If the prize you seek

Chorus
Time to sacrifice the cash cow
Time to surface some know-how
Time to service the citizens
For the foundation of our nation

Shit is deep
The more ya’ll speak
Any ole geek
Can tell a wolf dressed as sheep

Chorus

Talk the talk
Responsibility… you walk
Boat left dock
While you were in deadlock

Dry dock deadlock

Chorus

$52,709.99 Plus Tax.mp3

LYRICS
Let me see if I can figure this out…
The Federal debt is $16,699,000,000,000
Divided by 316,809,000 people
That must equal
$52,709 dollars… not to mention the 99 cents

Fifty-two thousand seven hundred and nine dollars
… not to mention the 99 cents

We the people of the United States
State that this ain’t right
Taxes, fees, fines and interest rates
Rate debt out of sight

Fifty-two thousand seven hundred and nine dollars
… not to mention the 99 cents

What shall be our presence
What shall be our essence
Does the essence of our presence make sense?

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Dm6 A
A G E A

This song is about raising the debt ceiling from it’s current limit of $16.699 trillion.  That means every human in the USA owes $52, 709.99 without raising the ceiling.  What will you owe after the limit is raised?

LYRICS
I’m plotting a course
Through rough territory
Feel nature’s force
In the music of country

Finding my way back
To the range
Finding mighty strange
That we lack
Sing “nothing!”

I’m plodding along
Through this hysteria
American folk song
Man bless America

Finding my way home
Over prairie
Finding not along
Trail to unveil
Happy Valley

LYRICS
You wake up in the morning
Lift your head from bed
You wine that life is boring
While you play the living dead

Oh, glory be
If we can get to eternity
Oh, glory be
Eternity without infinity

Should heed the warning
Listened to what She said
Making life enduring
Feeding spirit, heart and head

Oh, glory be
If we can get to eternity
Oh, glory be
Eternity without infinity

LYRICS
Oh, Karen
It’s raining again
The opens
Pourin’ pours in

There’s a hard rain falling
Mother Nature’s calling

Deserts barren
Not raining at all
The dry searing
Parchin’ our skin

Earth’s climate falling
Mother Nature’s calling

Oh, Karen
It’s happening again
Extreme weather shenanigans
Volatility maximum

There’s a hard rain falling
Mother Nature’s calling

Start everyone shoutin’
At the Love Fountain
Throw a penny if you wish
Certainly can’t miss
May the dream come true
For you

To get to know the flow
Meet me at Love Park
Before it gets dark

Time to stop all the lootin’
With our atmospheric pollutin’
Stand up if you care
Share you’re aware
Truth is more than just a dream
It’s the dream supreme

LYRICS
We’re so out of step with time
We’re so out of step with time
It makes no reason or rhyme
We’re so out of step with time

So out of time
They’ll call it a crime
So out of time
Beating The Dead Sublime

We’re so out of step with time
We’re so out of step with time
Don’t know if we’ll fit in the frame
Don’t want the legacy of your shame

We’re so out of step with time
Now it’s a strain
For us to remain

LYRICS
Ya saddle on up next to me
I lose my gravity
Now I’m starting to see
… starting to see clearly

Ride, cowgirl, ride

Take me by the arm and swing me ’round
I ain’t ever, ever coming down
Though this dance has four equal sides
It’s definitely one of my more chaotic rides

Ride, cowboy, ride

Now I’m starting to see
… starting to see clearly

Oh, where did the love go
Whoa… do you know?
Oh, where did your love go
’cause it hasn’t been shinning
No it doesn’t even show

Let it start… begin! Let it show

Where, oh, where did your love go
Where, oh, where can it be
Where, oh, where did your love go
’cause your heart is feeling empty

Ohhh… City Of Brotherly

LYRICS
The traffic races through my head
Before I blurt out what’s to be said
Won’t be a blight… no, not a dread
Try as I might to put it to bed

As you depend on a leprechaun
Your luck is gone… gone, gone, gone
Or worship some graven image
Digging your grave is no mirage
Not in this age… not in this day… hey, hey, hey!

You can dance here. There’s nothing to fear.
Put your arms in the air. Dance without care.
Prancing up and down… chancing it all around
Carefree dancing happily

LYRICS
At the days end the crow did descend
And ate all that did remain
Only to ascend… do it again
To call it a constant refrain

At the end of days
Trapped like rates in a maze
Confused, rattled and dazed

As night approaches
Darkness encroaches
Known fear of the unknown
Which nation or location
Will be your salvation
Crucifixion? Spirit bares it

LYRICS
A reminiscence about the resonance
Of your presence

In place with God
At peace with the sword
Oh my, Lord!

Being able to see what will be
Be it what it may for is surely maybe
Maybe we’d see
We as a seed
n’ proceed to succeed
Without greed
Fulfill the need
Breed to feed society

I think I am
Therefore, I am… alive!

Time to dive
Into the essence
Of Her presence
