LYRICS
If you’re feeling down
And you want to get high
Did you know
Just look me in the eye
Then close your “I”
And get ready to fly
Putting on a show
In your mind’s eye
Giving your vision a try
For sure, tell your worries bye-bye
Good-bye
Stimulation of imagination
Spirit nation elevation
Realization celebration
Stagnation deprivation
Creation illation
Flirtation elation
Hydration libation
Vexation cessation
Salvation gyration
Vocation vacation
Coloration demonstration
Stimulation of imagination

LYRICS
1,2,3,4
1,2,3,4
1,2,3,4
Counting out in music
Let’s play and play some more
Starting in the morning
The rooster counts its crow
Waking us to counting
Letting us all know
Moving us to getting…
Getting up and go!

5,6,7,8
5,6,7,8
5,6,7,8
We’re counting out some more
Till we dissipate the wait
Then, all afternoon
We’re counting out the time
Bell can’t ring to soon
Dismissal bell chime
Counting the days till June
And playing all summertime

9,10 again
9,10 again
9,10 again
Going to keep on counting
Till you tell me when to end
Later in the evening
Crickets start the counting
Till I should be sleeping
The sunlight starts dimming
But I want to keep on counting
Count on counting on playing

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Going to keep on counting
Till you tell me when to end

LYRICS
Looking to put a little harmony
Back into country
Some transparency
In our dirty laundry

Just the basic fact
Of exactly where we’re at
In our humanity extract

Looking to put a little peace piece
Back in civility
Civil in our civil war
On integrity

Chorus

Looking to put a little pride
Back in nationality
A quick logic fix
In our rationality

Wrong

The left is all wrong
About what’s going on
The right is all wrong
About what’s going on

As the left and right fight
There’s nothing left
No direction
The intersection
Of dejection
And perplextion

Circumcision
Concoction
Circumspection
Erection
Rejection

A song about senators pulling a vote-a-rama.

As Republicans push forward with repealing the Affordable Care Act, lawmakers are about to undertake a grueling Senate tradition: the vote-a-rama, a marathon of rapid-fire votes that is likely to stretch on for hours.

LYRICS
It’s hard to face the facts
When the facts lack
Or pull yourself up by the bootstraps
A barefoot kickback
Going to find the facts
Put an end to this fact flack
Get baby a new pair of shoes
Compassion’s for those that choose

Give me a break
There’s a lot at stake
When the POTUS turns fake
And the news — if only we knew

Now that I’m facing the facts
We elected a slack
In need of a boot to the ass
To show us worldly class
Back from fact finding
No need in reminding
Don’t ever, ever, ever let in
A con-man with thin skin
Give me a break
There’s a lot at stake
When the POTUS turns fake
And the news — if only we knew

Give me a break
There’s a lot at stake
When the POTUS turns fake
And the news — if only we knew

LYRICS
The fear
Of his smoke and mirror
I tire
Of the bold face liar
Bankruptcies
As far as the eye sees (the I’s see)
Oligarchists
Stealing money hands over fists
Took a full-time job
Taking money from the mob
Imagine this
Russian prostitute piss
What’s next
Off shore snakeoil drilling
Perplex
For sure, taxpayer billing
OH! Sob…
Dirty laundering with the Russian Mob
Now you
Make ‘merica squandering, again

LYRICS
You thought the bell had rung
That the fight was all done
Become aware
As you stare into the air
That was just round one

Don’t give up your fight
When you fight for what is right
Keep up the good fight
When it comes to shedding light

Hear my battle cry
“Fighting for peace!”
Here we try, try, try
Getting hate to cease

Did you hear the bell? Did you?
Well, that was just round two
Become aware
As you start into the air
There’s much more to do

LYRICS
One door will make you small
The other one will make you tall
Fly out the window
Up to the sky
Or maybe you’ll follow
The call of gravity… and fall

Command and choose a hand
You’ll come to understand
The wisdom of random
In our chaos kingdom
Or maybe you’ll swallow
The bliss of ignorance

One side will fix it all
The other drop the ball
One lives in shadow
The other blue sky
Belly ache n’ wallow
Or get it on the ball
After all

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Wait a second?
I can’t wait a second
’cause I reckon
The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round

Leap a second
And before long
A second second
Thus this song
The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round

The spinoff of taking a spin off
You scoff?
Well, do you wanna get off?
’cause
The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round

It’s that mean solar time
Or UT1
Try to coordinate Universal time
Or UTC
And I for one can see
You won’t even give away
The time of day
No way

The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round

ABOUT THE SONG
Style: ExperiMental Music
Chords: E B E –> 7th fret and slide down to E
Recording: digital 8-track stereo recorded live

This song is about the Earth slowing down. Why is the Earth slowing down?
The Earth is slowing down and speeding up for many reasons. In general, the Earth is slowing down it’s rotation due to friction. The wind and the oceans and mountains, tides and gravity cause friction that slows an object in motion.

A leap second is a one-second adjustment that is occasionally applied to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in order to keep its time of day close to the mean solar time, or UT1. Without such a correction, time reckoned by Earth’s rotation drifts away from atomic time because of irregularities in the Earth’s rate of rotation. Since this system of correction was implemented in 1972, 27 leap seconds have been inserted, the most recent on December 31, 2016 at 23:59:60 UTC.

So, every once in a while humans travel a second forward in time. “Specifically, a positive leap second is inserted between second 23:59:59 of a chosen UTC calendar date (the last day of a month, usually June 30 or December 31) and second 00:00:00 of the following date.”

Why is the moon falling farther away from us?

The migration of the Moon away from the Earth is mainly due to the action of the Earth’s tides. The Moon is kept in orbit by the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on it, but the Moon also exerts a gravitational force on our planet and this causes the movement of the Earth’s oceans to form a tidal bulge.

Political science
Or better of silent?
Not nice
Dealing with the intolerant
Should remain silent
Open it… remove doubt

Rivals
As it riles

Being kind
Being to our kind, kind
Kind to the humankind
Ignorant to the intolerant?
If they only knew
They are the ignorant
The intolerant ignorant
The few intolerant
They are the intolerant few
With an intolerant view

I won + you won = won

Not be indifferent

So that you are not ignorant

Ignorant of intolerance
