Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The complication
Of the situation
Seeks solution
Perhaps restitution
Into the darkness delves
Save us from ourselves
Misunderstood
Earthling neighborhood
Could, would, should

Rearrange with our climate change
Deranged more than a little strange

Suffice to say divisive
Sacrifice the will to live

LYRICS
Your waves rock me, knock me
Try n’ make me roll
Tell me who made you
Tell me do
Who made you keep of the toll?
It’ain’t always what will float your boat
Sometimes you think
It could sink
No matter however remote
Bow to the bow
‘less the stern get stern
What the heck?
Show a little respect
Karmic “get what you get”
S.O.S.
Your waves rock me, knock me
Try n’ make me roll
I mean God save the Queen
And save our soul
Yes
S.O.S.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A one way ticket
A real go getter
Going to let her
Pick it
Wonder do I get it
Faith in the better
Is a risky endeavor
Remember savor the flavor
No take-backs
Nor do-overs
Can’t relax
As risk hovers

Once you’re there
No going back
Hope I don’t lake the flare
There’s no refund
Can’t be undone
Better be sharp as a razor
Remember savor the flavor
No take-backs
Nor do-overs
Can’t relax
As risk hovers

LYRICS
Got your finger on the button
Launchin’ stinger for a hurtin’

Chorus
Rushin’ toward Armageddon
Here comes the Kingdom
Kingdom come
Blowin’ ’em
To Kingdom Come

Got your finger on the button
Clear nuclear is for certain

Got your finger on the trigger
Placing your bet on Russian roulette

Got your finger on the trigger
Blaze of glory
End of story

ABOUT THE SONG

LYRICS
I thought things
Couldn’t get any better
Than what they were
Amazings
Doing the go get ‘er
Ends up a blur
Because just like that
I could be splat
Never forget
Windscreen on the bonnet
And I the fly
The fly in I
Can’t yield to the windshield
The windshield will not yield

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
With skin so thin
I can look within
I begin
To see
“What’s inside of me?”
Does my blood run true
I’m asking you
If you can see
What’s inside of me
Is my heart genuine
Can you see within?

It was you
When I could see right through
I had a clue
I should see in me
Too
So, please see it through
Look deep within me
What do you see?
My spirit
Can you hear it?
Can you feel
That I’m real
Taste, touch, smell…
Please tell

Hope is a waking dream.
— Aristotle

LYRICS
Seems you’ve got a head start
If I snooze I lose
Bull’s-eye greeting your dart
Attention I pay to choose

No need for confession
I’m learning my lesson
Am I tortoise or hare
Awake and aware

Can I picture this
Hubris’ nemesis
Gotta let go of ego
Pretending that I know

The order is tall
Symbol for them all
Ray of hope I hope
Can I be the beacon
Can I be the be can

Mandarin tangerine dream
Is it all Chinese to you
Imaginin’ a knew view
Consciousness stream

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You say your dad was a veteran
I don’t hear you saying, “I am”
You say your mom was a lady
Yet, you seem a little shady
When it comes to the merit
Of your family
I don’t want to hear it
Quite frankly
What have you done?
Are you anyone?

You say your daughter is a virgin
Wondering if you’ll ever learn
You say your son is a hero
Yet to move you from zero
When it comes to the merit
Of your family
I don’t want to hear it
Quite frankly
What have you done?
Are you anyone?

You say that your grandpa
Was a crafter of modern law
You say that your grandma
Most beautiful thing he ever saw
When it comes to the merit
Of your family
I don’t want to hear it
Quite frankly
When it comes to your spirit
Is it lovely
Have you ever been near it
Embraced wholly
What have you done?
Are you anyone?

LYRICS
Game time! The horse isn’t tame
Grab hold of the mane and hang on
Good time! Wild horse is the game
Stayin’ on is the game… and ride on
If you’re feeling meek
Your grip is too weak
You’re long gone
Ride ’em cowboy
Get up and ride
Ride ’em cowboy
Dust off your pride
Ride, cowboy, ride
Ride on
Right on

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Tried to explode
Spent his load
The overlord’s going under
Tried to explode
Spent his load
Is it any wonder?

I understand
Once this land
Was free… no longer to be?

Tried to ignite
Start a fight
Now the King is falling
Tried to ignite
Start a fight
Scraped knee and balling

I understand
Once this land
Was free… now, we’ve got to restore democracy

Tried to erode
Didn’t bode
Well there’s hypocrisy
Tried to erode
Didn’t bode
Well for humanity

I understand
Once this land
Was free… now, it’s up to you and me

LYRICS
Candy coated popcorn, peanuts and a prize
Starting to realize
I don’t care if I never get back
If there is substance lack… there of

Been found about
Your’ old ball game is nuts
Not sane
Blood and guts

LYRICS
What can you do for me
The answer, obviously
What can I do for you
To change your point-of-view
Public Servant Commander In Chief
Please give me some relief
Can not handle all your grief
Please make your duty brief

This giant baby balloon
Can not take flight too soon
Enough ranting, raging baboon
Be he moron… be he loon

Trump Baby Blimp
Trump Baby Blimp

What can you do for me
The answer, obviously
Go far, far, far away
And let the children play
Selfish negativity
Is really getting to me
Please, what do you say
Go far, far, far away

This giant baby balloon
Can not take flight too soon
Enough ranting, raging baboon
Be he moron… be he loon

Q: Are you saying Trump is a Treasonous Traitor Twitterer? If so, we’ve got both a tongue twister and a brain teaser… is he twitterdee… or twitterdumb?

You were a beginner?
You must be a very fast learner
