LYRICS
You’re gonna wish your evil side
Had never seen the turned tide
Now the tide has turned
For the past is yearned

Better run like the dickens
Before this plot thickens
Better head for the hills
Lick your wounds n’ ills
(Yeah, take your medicine… swallow your pills)

Seize the thrill watchin’ your guts spill
Ain’t that much time left until….
Chorus

Be the overall voodoo doll
Watch you cry and ball
But it won’t do ya no good
Could have done what ya should
Crying won’t do you no good

LYRICS
Was it Job or Leviticus
That said God’ld cut us to the quick
Perhaps it’s time to cry n’ fuss
Squeeze the puss… scream and kick

The Reaper’s sickle
Reaping quicker
Isn’t that fickle
Ripping quicker, quicker
Ripping sicker quicker

Was it Moses or Jesus
That said God’ld cut us to the quick
Perhaps it’s time for all of us
To refuse to be then next brick
And it’s just as well
If you cast the spell
Upon you
The spawn of demon’s hell
Angels fell
’cause of you

LYRICS
Cheetah
Jaguar
Tiger
All in a line with the lion
King of the jungle

Not one to mumble and grumble
But it looks like a jaguar
And the cheetah
Together with the tiger
Are forming a line
with the lion
They’re standing shoulder to shoulder
If you have a girl, you better hold her
’cause those are some really bad cats
And ya know, they’re all in a row
Oh no

Cheetah
Tiger
Jaguar
Forming a line with the lion
I ain’t lying
I wish I had my whip and my chair
But they’re nowhere

No whip, no chair
Anywhere
No whip, no chair
We better beware
I don’t think we can hold back
An attack

Cheetah
Jaguar
Tiger
All forming a line with the lion
The king of the jungle
I can see it in their eye
Eye can see it in their I
They want to toss
And they want to tumble
They want to rumble
They want to eat me as meat
They want to eat me as a delicious treat

You talk to her but won’t talk to me
Time to get a grasp on reality

Truth song of how she’s done ya wrong

You walk with her but won’t walk with me
It’s a shame you mess with your destiny

Truth song of how she’s done ya wrong

What you lost with her you won with me
Time lost together is a travesty

Blood is blood and yours is mine
Some day you’re gonna find… you miss your family tree

Wrongful Arrest at the Liberty Bell

LYRICS
How can you attest
That’s resisting arrest?
All she was doing
Was a peaceful protest

Then, you come down on her
Like a Gestapo mob
Take away freedom
And, her liberty rob

That’s what I cal
Shitty authority
You know it when
It stinks to high heaven
You take from all
Sucking royally
As if the creator dictator

At any rate
Create
Dictate
Gangster mobster police state

Aghast! Shame shelling with a gas

Seems there’s no regime

World watches in error

Bombarding babies like Barbarians
Severity to civility… no humanitarians

LYRICS
Does anybody care that it isn’t fair
Sometimes somebody’s gotta say
It really shouldn’t be this way

The police lying about their crimes
While they are trying to silence mimes
It really shouldn’t be this way

So you want to start over
Do it all over again
Push reset without regret
It really shouldn’t be this way

So, It really shouldn’t be this way
We hoped to never see this day
When people enjoy causing dismay
It really shouldn’t be this way

Is it disturbing… more than a bit
Is it gut wrenching… why won’t they quit?

The troll patrol marches in
Before you know it
Decadence and sin

How could this be heaven
With no safe haven
How could this be heaven
When there ain’t no safe haven

Tattooed monkeys flying fly in
Squirting guano $#it
With their hatin’ and liein’

Is it alarming you just a bit
Is that panicking… No! Lack of survival kit

Come on now, everybody knows
At least they should

We could try, we could
You know we could

Where do the good people go… do you know?
If the good life they’ve been livin’
Is full with the goodness of givin’
(Even with the occasional sinnin’)
Ya get into heaven
Pass the pearly gates
I can hardly wait

Where do the bad people go… do you know?
If after all the chances
You choose your dances
By selling your soul to the devil
Well… ya go straight to….

While you’re still quick
Don’t take too long
And, be judged as dead

A toast to the Mother, Sun and Holy Ghost

Of life make the most

Who do you think you are
Trying to pound your fist
Reaching so far

What do you think you are
Bleeding from your ears
Dishing out fears

Demanding it’s your list
Screaming out jeers
Washing out bliss

Who wants your mess?

If you try to diminish us
You will count less
If you try to vanquish us
Us you will release
So please

LYRICS
Are you afraid to open your door
See people hurting like never before
Are you afraid to answer the phone
Hear the moan become a constant drone

Are you afraid to show your face
Tired of being made a public disgrace
Are you afraid to communicate
The wrong way on a one-way
Bombarded with hate, hate, thate

Then, please don’t hesitate
To call on God. Let Her mediate.

The place is here. The time is now.
Believe She’ll hear… She does somehow

God’s good grace. The mercy upon you.
Redeem your scene to heavenly… see!

Why not fear not?

Once, there were two girls
One on either side
Of understanding

The one to the right
Always in the light
Loves to sing
Brings hope to hearts

The one to the wrong
Hates song
Wallows in shadows
Blackens holes in hearts

What is life worth
What fulfills

For my time on Earth
The thrills
Of the ride
That you provide
Make the future bright

Thank God
For the allowance

Now, is once… going toward the one in the light
