Posted on by admin

LYRICS
We’ll be better off by far
Remember who we are
In times bizarre
Remember who we are
The right has left
The left ain’t right
The social theft
In plain sight

We’ll be better off by far
Remember who we are
In times bizarre
Remember who we are
There’s no hear there
There’s no their there
All unaware
… or don’t care

We’ll be better off by far
Remember who we are
In times bizarre
Remember who we are
Get up is down
Light can’t be found
Isn’t any ’round
… we’re at flat

LYRICS
I’ve heard it said
Before you’re dead
“Do unto others”… do you?
You’ve made your bed
Before you drop dead
Do unto others as you
Would have others do
Unto you
Do you?
Heard them say
“Up to your dying day”
You’ve a will
there’s a way

LYRICS
Is it OK
If I runaway…
… running to another day…
Say…
Into tomorrow…
… ohhhhh
(Since this time I borrow)
And then tomorrow
I’ll hope to borrow
More tomorrow
Tomorrow
As they say
Living day-by-day

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Jump and shout
Let it out
Tell them what it’s all about
(It’s all about)

If you’re looking to find love
Look below or look above
(It’s all about)
Toward the left. Toward the right.
We’ve got a lot of love in sight
(It’s all about)
Open up your door some more
How much love can you store?
(Let it out)

Jump and shout
Let it out
Tell them what it’s all about
(It’s all about)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If you ever catch on to it
Let me know
Then forever let them grow
Seeds we sow
Hammering on the verge of knowledge
Standing on the ledge
Drilling for a surge of knowledge
Leaning over the… edge

If you ever catch on to it
Let me know
Then forever let them grow
Seeds we sow
Gardening a little wedge of knowledge
Hanging on the ledge
Wishing I could splurge on knowledge
Leaning over the… edge

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can’t you see our cities burning
Can’t you see the seas are churning
Hard to say
If you can ever go home
Given the state of Rome
Humans given up on riddles
While Nero fiddles

Can’t you see our cities burning
Can’t you see the seas are churning
Hard to say
If you can ever go home
Given we’re fire prone
Humans given up on middles
While Nero fiddles

Can’t you see our cities burning
Can’t you see the seas are churning
Hard to say
If you can ever go home
Given no place to phone
Human whittles
While Nero fiddles

bookmark_borderAll Day

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Hey, what do you say
We lighten up a while
… bring on a smile
All day
Today
Each day
Think I’ll have a brain storm
To clear out the clouds
Let new thoughts be born
By shouting out loud:
Proud passed by the Nemesis
This is what is the start
Of unlocking the heart

I hear what you say
Might as well lighten up a while
… make the smile the style
All day
Today
Each day
Think I’ll have a brain storm
To clear out the clouds
Let new thoughts be born
By shouting out loud:
Proud passed by the Nemesis
This is what is the start
Of unlocking the heart

bookmark_borderCan’t Wait to Wait

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Is it too late?
Is it too late to procrastinate?
We’d really like to wait
To have this debate
Surely you must know
We love the status quo
And really would appreciate
Going slow

Is it too late?
Is it too late to procrastinate?
If you’ve the presumption
Of ending mass consumption
Surely you must know
We love the status quo
So show appreciation
By going slow

Is it too late?
Is it too late to procrastinate?
Can’t you see consumer greed
Is all we need
Surely you must know
We love the status quo
So won’t you please concede
And go slow

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Pick the battles
Win the wars
Earth that rattles
Open the doors
How to get a crowd to hear
No matter how far or near
How to get a crowd ’round here
To get to hear clear?

Biggest crisis
No debate
Answer is:
The climate
How to get a crowd to hear
No matter how far or near
How to get a crowd ’round here
To get to hear clear?

So now what
Are all deaf
If, and, but
Won’t stop death
How to get a crowd to hear
No matter how far or near
How to get a crowd ’round here
To get to hear clear?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The things you see in your sleep
Broad and high… thoughts run deep
Life out of the dark
Been given the spark
Ignite the light

The things you see in daydreams
Seems the future melts through the seems
Life out of the dark
Been given the spark
Ignite the light

The things you see in front of your eyes
How long will it take to realize
Life out of the dark
Been given the spark
Ignite the light

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Try not to let them get you down
Time them or us get out of town
If we leave it to a coin toss
They might get lost
To sustain such a loss
Too high a cost
If I try to fly
I just might bet by
If I try to fly
I just might get high

Try not to let them get you down
Time them or us get out of town
If we let them over gloss
The meaning might get lost
To sustain such a loss
Too high a cost
If I try to fly
I just might bet by
If I try to fly
I just might get high

Try not to let them get you down
Time them or us get out of town
If we let them sell their sauce
Our taste might get lost
To sustain such a loss
Too high a cost
If I try to fly
I just might bet by
If I try to fly
I just might get high

LYRICS
Did you go
To the sideshow
In seek of my freak
Elephant mating donkey
You’re never quite sure
What you’ll see
If you ask me
I’d rather take in
More future
For sure

Did you go
To the sideshow
In seek of my freak
Left n’ right gettin’ in a fight
You’re never quite sure
What you’ll see
If you ask me
I’d rather take in
More future
For sure

You’re never quite sure
What you’ll see
Elephant mating donkey
Left n’ right gettin’ in a fight
While the poles melt
To the rust belt
If you ask me
I’d rather take in
More future
For sure
Did you go
To the sideshow
I go to tweak my freak

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
This habit — habitat
I’m sure going to miss you
Hard to imagine…
How I’ll ever make it through
Without you
Going to make me blue
Living life without you
… will turn me blue
(If there’s no air there)

This habit — habitat
I sure do miss you
For days and weeks
I’ll be meek and weak
Looking for a fix…
An elixir
Now that my habit
Is through
Going to make me blue
Living life without you
… will turn me blue
(If there’s no air there)
[gasping for air noises]

bookmark_borderLivin’ Again

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Have you lived life before
Are you dying for more
Was it all full of sin
Gotta do it again
River Styx prone
Time to take it home

Have you lived life before
Are you dying for more
Was it awful sin
Gotta do it again
Hate the Hades zone
Time to take it home

Have you lived life before
Are you dying for more
Was it all full of sin
Gotta do it again
Done the zombie drone
Time to take it home

Time to come alive
Time I’m alive!
