Red Flag

Posted on March 8, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
If you use our flag as a sign of hate
There’s no debate. We’ll go irate.

Don’t wear our flag as a sign of hate
Unless thin ice you skate?
Don’t wear our flag as a sign of hate
Think it through… before it’s too late

We’d rather you wear a Swastika
Or Confederate Flag
Then to bring on the nausea
Putting our flag in that bag

If I could hate hate I would
If I could love everything… But, that’s what’s troubling
I can’t love hate at any rate

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song is about people getting upset on the social networks about banning students from wearing the US flag to a Cinco de Mayo:

A high school in Northern California wasn’t doing anything wrong when it asked students to turn their T-shirts with American flags inside out on Cinco de Mayo, the Mexican heritage celebration, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday.

The court said that the school officials’ concern that star spangled T-shirts might provoke racial violence outweighed the student’s rights to freedom of expression, and that it was correct of the officials to prioritize campus safety. — TIME

LYRICS
Everybody’s yellin’ about the watermelon
When you’re chewing down
And you’re down to the rind
Instead of gnawing on
And starting to whine
Maybe it’s time to find another peace
Maybe it’s time to for a brand new peace

Everybody’s yellin’ about the chicken
When you’re chowing down
And you’re teeth gnash the bone
Instead of gnawing on
And starting to moan
Maybe it’s time to find another peace
Maybe it’s time to for a brand new peace

Dance to the music of life’s picnic

LYRICS
Not the same person that I’m use to
Now what am I suppose to do
With you

I love change
But yours is so strange
You’ve gone down a long dark corridor
Without a door

The criminally insane
You just can’t explain
Nor ever get use to
Not to blame
You can’t play the game
Even if you want to

Not the same
Evil’s un-tame
Not the same
Satin’s fame
Not the same
The devil came
Now, you’re one with the name
Now, you’re one and the same

LYRICS
What I want is what I need
I’m the first to concede
I’d be sick without music
With the dead instead of the quick

Follow the beat of a different drummer
Being the wiser rather than dumber
Bring on rhythm and melody
To top off my hierarchy

Creativity, spontaneity
Evolving by solving
Self-actualization realization
Write a sing along song

ABOUT THIS SONG
A song about music being at the top of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

LYRICS
If we’re gonna go
From here to there
Gotta start to show
That we’re aware

As a matter of fact,
It matters where we’re at

I think we know
No time to spare
It’s time to grow
The love we share

As a matter of fact,
It matters where we’re at
Imagine that…
It matters where we’re at

I don’t know… if for you it comes slow
For me it comes rushing in
Spiritually inspired inspiration
Takes form in creation

A give and take flow
She gives, and I glow

All my show… I’m hoping to grow
Praying I take it all in
Imagination dream injection
Take form in creation

Climb on down
Look around

If he can’t lift a frown
What good’s a wedding gown
If love has left town

LYRICS
Why?
Did I drop the bomb on Nagasaki
Hugh?
Did ya drop the bomb Hiroshima

Here’s dropping a bomb upon you:

Chorus
Matters what you do
Matters what you don’t
If it impacts me
It will impact you
Don’t say you can’t
When you mean won’t

Did we clone a drone
To assassinate what we hate
Do we drop bombs forgetting
The little children at the wedding

You Are Never Alone On Christmas

Posted on December 25, 2013December 25, 2013 by admin

(The Grinch That Stole The Christmas Blues)

LYRICS
You’re never alone on Christmas
Isn’t that what it’s all about?
Feeling lonely is only if you miss
The essence of the Christmas presence

Let’s figure it out?
The love will always be there, I swear
As long as there’s someone…
As long as there’s anyone…
As long as someone cares
That someone could be you
Lord, lordy, Lord, Lord, lordy
Lord, with you…. make two
And, as far as I can see
There’s me
(… that’s three…)
For crying out loud — A CROWD!

Singing Merry Christmas, Almighty
Bless you for taking pity
And, keeping me company

Bumbles Bounce.mp3

LYRICS
An abominable snowman
Part creature… part man
The part abominable
Most probable
Man
Abominable… causing moral revulsion
Diversion, subversion, exclusion

Time for the inclusion solution
Let’s hope humanity can bounce back
After our ethical attack

Pushed ourselves over the cliff
Mostly over a religious riff
The penalty… swift and stiff
Time to be humble
Overcome our bumble

Do what counts
Do the bumble bounce

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — F# / G

Daniel — Vocals, Guitar, Synthesizers (All instruments played simultaneously and extemporaneously.)

“Christians are the most widely persecuted religious group in the world today and this evening we think especially of the Middle East, especially of Egypt, Iraq and Syria,” The Archbishop of Canterbury, Christmas, 2013

This song was inspired by the travesty of religious conflicts and killings during 2013. Unfortunately, the list is too long to list… Shiite, Sunni, Armenians, Christian, Buddhists, Dinka, Nuer, Beni Hussein, Rizeigat, Jews, Muslims… in Syria, Israel, Burma, South Sudan, Central African Republic, Nigeria, Turkey, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq… and on and on. Let’s pray we can bounce back.
