It’s O.K.
OK, OK?
It’s O.K.
Don’t let ’em darken your day
It’s O.K.
OK, OK?
It’s O.K.
Don’t let ’em dampen your day
It’s O.K.
OK, OK?
It’s O.K.
The sun is on the cusp
The end of the tunnel
Freeing soul and mental
Letting light shine on us

If you think you’re stuck
Between a rock and a hard place
Retrace
The steps of your future
To see how you make it out
It’s far-out
How you can see
What steps to take
There’s no doubt
You can get free
Make what you make
Of it
All depends
What we make
Of it
All depends
What we make
Of it
Create the flow… go!

This song was written and recorded on the streets of Philadelphia… while the Streets Department jackhammers the street… and after having a conversation with a scientist about the shape of things to come.

Capo 3
A string play D
Add pinky high A
Spewing goo
Hatred anew
Is that what I want to do?
Don’t become that
Which I despise
Less sober
More Wise
Don’t become that
Which I despise
I try to realize
When it’s all over
… rather remain
Love and the same

Em
You’re way to wacky
Not to survive
You’re the one always trying…
You always strive to survive
Stay alive
Way outside the norm
You’ll weather their storm
Let them say what they want to say about you
You’re the one whose heart is true
You have equal rights
Not to be equal
Equality doesn’t mean neutral

When I asked
If you’d dance up a storm
I figured you knew I meant figuratively
Now, literally
We’re in a downpour
Let’s dance some more

This song is based on Hurricane Irene. I was suppose to play a Bob Marley festival… but, it was canceled due to Atlantic City being under a mandatory evacuation. When I explained my situation to a fan, he said, “Irene’s a bitch.”

Ole Lady leery
Left her lantern in the shed
When the how kicked it over
She winked her I and said,
“If ya know what i mean
My names Irene
Gonna be gnarly
Sorry, no Marely.”
So, we played all night
Into the day
Play, play, play
We played into the rain
The spirit will remain
A tidal surge
Irie sea
Love splurge
See irie

Follow the fault line
Where does it lead?
Is it yours
Is it mine
Follow back
To the beginning of time
Follow the fault line
And, where does it lead
Right here
To the land of greed
What is it we’re trying to make
A giant quake to obliterate the meek
Seek the source of the fault line

What do you dread?
A raccoon in (your) bed?
I yelled, “Hey!
What’s going on?”
I thought “Say,
The End is upon?”
Hey! Say,
The End is upon?

Yes, it’s true
Love can slip inside of you
Yes, it’s true
Love will get you through
Yes, it’s true
Love and slip outside of you

Making dreams come true
Love can slip right through you

I can tell by the way
You tore us apart
There’s a hole
In your heart
It’s time
For some major laser
Major laser brain surgery
It would appear
The time is near
For you to have corrective surgery
It would seem
That you are mean
… fix the tear in your heart
The black hole
That tore us apart
Try to fuse
Before we all lose
With some major laser
Major laser brain surgery
Try to repair
Under there
Where the heart
Has a tear
You ripped your heart
Apart
Why would you do
You
Why would you ever
Want to rip your heart apart?
Dear,
Now, I’m here
For some major laser
Major laser brain surgery
Is there anybody home?
Any friends and family
Should beware
Should be aware
The Damn Age
She will damage
The Damn Age
Let’s start
To fix your heart
Major laser
Major laser brain surgery
Fix the tear
In your heart
There’s something wrong with you
Fix the view
Despicable
Fix-able?
Operate
Castrate
Major laser
Major laser brain surgery
Operate
Before, it’s too late
Begin
Time to go in
Here we go
Try to fix her *know*
You’re sick
You’re ill
No goodwill
Time to repair in there
Major laser
Major laser brain surgery

What will yielding yield?
No protection. No Shield.
I will not yield
… will not yield to Satin
In Her Place Of Patton
… can not erase space
Nor, un-time (your) crime
Now, I can not yield
I will not yield
To Evilville
In Evilville
Never yield
Not “until”
Not will
Wont
