LYRICS
What lies between your eyes
Should come as no surprise
Vicious venomous lies
Soon to realize
Vicious venomous lies

Sooner or later the investigator
Is gonna come ’round
Bound to be found

What slips between your lips
Is hard to come to grips
Vicious venomous lies
Soon to realize
Vicious venomous lies

What kind of mind is found
Embedded headed bound
Vicious venomous lies
Soon to realize
Vicious venomous lies

LYRICS
I don’t know, Son
Better check your gun
Can’t wear the holster no more
… better check it at the door
In order to bolster
Our atmosphere of fun

I don’t know, Son
Better check your gun
No need for bullets for sure
… better check it at the door
Ensure less regrets
No need for “on the run”

2nd Amendment under siege
Oh, Lord, help me please
Try n’ figure wants from needs
Oh, Lord, help us please

Dm               F        C    Dm             F       C
Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming we're finally on our own

Gm7                       C
Should of been done long ago
Gm7                     C
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
Gm7                       C
How can you run when you know?

Dm              F    C      Dm      F        C
La la la la  la la la la  la la la la  la la la

LYRICS
Has it been a long time coming
A steep road upon which you’re roaming

Does your day turn gray
Then slip away
Does it make you cry
Well’s run dry
Wells up your eye

Does your way go stray
Then slip away
Does it make you cry
Knowing you’ll die

Do you say “no way”
Then slip away
Does it make you cry
Never knowing why

Well they say your day
Goes your way
There’s no need to cry
Give’r a try
Giver try

LYRICS
They call him “salt of the earth”
Ever since his birth
But, aren’t we all mineral… after all?
Some say we’re made from clay
They don’t kid ’bout Adam’s rib
Hard to believe they made ‘er Eve
From dust to dust to dust to dust
Ohhh, the greed… the lust
To dust to dust to dust
Heaven or bust!
Just a hitchhiker on this mass
Don’t mean to be a smacked ass
But, when ya teach hypocrisy class
I just don’t know how long I’ll last
A passenger of the orbit
Really hoping to absorb it
If our days are numbered… spread wit

From dust to dust to dust to dust
Ohhh, the greed… the lust
To dust to dust to dust
Heaven or bust!
Amen

LYRICS
I really appreciate
Your appreciation
No matter the content
There’s lift in the gift
No matter the amount
It’s the thought that counts

I really appreciate
Your appreciation
Every moment of your time…
Sublime

I really appreciate
There’s no hesitation
No hesitation
In your appreciation
Staggering amounts
In your thought that counts

LYRICS
One and done?
Too and two
Free from three
For for more
I’m hoping you can see
You can always count on me
To be what you want to be
As long as that’s happy

Invest completely
In your mortality
Only certainty
Is death… eventually

Are you seeing clearly
You can always count on me
Be it clear or gloomy
To be living happily

LYRICS
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
When at first I did arrive
They say when I became alive
Those were the days of freedom
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
With each day it did erode
With every flush of the commode
Insane! Down the drain with freedom
How come?
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
Now be careful what you say
We had better “walk this way”
Watching freedom fray… how come?
Freedom
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
A little more every day
Slipping, slipping, slipping away
who let the freedom come undone?
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?

LYRICS
This is a time
This is a place
The time is now
The place is here
To know the now
To hear the here
The time I’m
In… the race —
Earthling
Is the thing
… an earthling thing
Please don’t ask
“Take me to your leader”
Our leader is a bottom feeder
We have no meaning
For “intelligent being”
Despite my strife
* NO Intelligent Life *

LYRICS
Running the inane
Feeling the pain
Of a cold driving rain

In the face
Face-to-face
Is your point-of-view
Going to rat on you?
In the face
Face-to-face
Doe the opinion you spew
Splatter back on you

Running from sane
Embracing the pain
Of a lame membrane
(chorus)

Running in sane
Down pouring reign
Feel the pain of the cold bold insane

Where are you going
Aware… or not knowing?
Rabbit’s circle jump off track
Never looking back
Do you feel the coup
Of the loopity lou
Can you tell me where you’re going to?

Being a bleeder follow the leader
Stampede off a cliff
Hey! Lemmings, to be seceder
Gotta ask “what if?”

Bling lead the bling ain’t being kind
Need I remind
We gotta take a stance where we stand

LYRICS
Flip your lid and fill ‘er up
No quid pro quo measuring cup
A deal’s a deal be it love or war
Hypocrisy will cut it no more
Wade into the spotlight
The colors fade
No shade of gray is white
Right can not trade
Gonna run
Or stick to your guns
Gonna fight
Or spread wings for flight

Done you did and that is that
Egg-on-face big fat cat
Choke it up… feed kitty
Owing dues sure ain’t pretty

LYRICS
Maybe by disguising the words I’m saying
They’ll be digesting as word playing:
In some far off distant land
They are praying
For a President
Gone mad
In some far out distant time
They can’t understand
Why so bad?
Maybe it was long, long ago
Does anybody (anyone) know?
World’s gone mime
The president of President dent
Head banging
Boom-a-ranging
Turned down
Frown
Sad
May I lend
“The End”

LYRICS
Yes, I’m having a ball
Aren’t we all?
’cause it runs the whole spectrum
Heave ho! And a bottle of rum
What do you do with a drunken sailor?
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
The most president public servant
Savant-less idiot-savant
Nooo… savant has not
His brilliance is in ignorance?
Redeeming quality?
… I can not see….
Being nothing in his being
It’s hard believing
Of his brain conceiving

Yes, I’m having a ball
Aren’t we all?
’cause it runs the whole spectrum
Heave ho! And a bottle of rum
What do you do with a drunken sailor?
Put him to bed with the Captain’s daughter*
Hit him in the head with leather n’ lead
Give us relief from the commander and chief
For I foresee mutiny!
As for you, do you, too?
You can count on me
It’s plain to see… in need of a mutiny
(If he walks the plank, it’s you I’ll thank.)
