LYRICS
Nailed it on the head
Every time I get duped
My head’s outta’da loop

Perplexed betwixt the ears
Scream deafening “Oh, Dear’s!”
Logic smothered by our fears

My truth is what I’m fed
Research and facts I dread
Be better off when I’m dead…
When I’m nailed in the head

(Hey? Which end of this thing do I point?
Ohhh… is that your point?
Does it have a safety from me?)

ABOUT THE SONG
A sarcastic lyric based on a bogus FaceBook picture and post. (It’s actually an M-16 rifle with Dewalt power-tool parts affixed to it.)

Dewalts answer to home protection that doesn't require a registration or license. This nail gun can shoot a 16-D nail through a 2x4 at 200 yards

LYRICS
Has the fool been fooled again?
Guess that’s how a fool will begin
Prime game for a manipulative tool

At any rate,
Please investigate before you regurgitate
Some rant from some irate

Stoop to be dupe

If you read:
“Health Department Confirmed Semen Found on McDonald’s Mayonnaise”
Come out of your haze
Think ’till your eyes bleed
You know it’s not true

Stoop to be dupe

ABOUT THE SONG
Based on a bogus FaceBook post. A quote from the article, “I’m not gonna lie,” McDowell said. “On Birthdays and holidays I give my man a little something extra in the bedroom, you know? So when I licked the mayo off of the bun, the texture was familiar.”

Come on people! If something seems too whacky to be true, don’t spread the rumor. Find out the facts. Bust the myth!

LYRICS
Son,
There’s more to the tale
I’d like you to know
You are a GMO [ever since your mother and I decided to experiment with mixing our genes]
And, there’s no such thing as a chemtrail

I hate to shatter your illusion
But, I’ve come to the conclusion
Putting reality to the test is best

What humans produced induced climate change
It was the parents… it was my fault
Not Big Business nor the Government

Chorus

Make it so compassion doesn’t feel strange
Not set the standard low by default
(Let love out of the vault)
Time we do what we meant

LYRICS
In the thick of their twisted tricks
Perplexed reflex
Betwixt a rock and a hard place
We place the human race

Betwixt a rock and a hard place
With an itch ta make ya twitch
You’re not alone
If it hits ya in the funny-bone

They believe they’ve read:
A famous actor is dead
The President to step down
Or, anything about a mad clown

Chorus

Makes ya dread what you’ve read…
Oh, no! There’s no such thing as a good GMO
The Earth and Killer Asteroid to collide
Big Business causes my personal messes
And, anything they share on Obamacare

Beware!
It’s a shame. Though lame, you can’t believe hardly anything you read from this breed.

LYRICS
The coo of the coup is cuckoo
Insane in Ukraine
The slip in Egypt
Can you understand Thailand?

An irate police state
Eliminates primates

The destiny of liberty…
Freedom come undone

And, the walrus is us

Hey USA what do you say
Be a real pity if it comes to your city?

I…
I have arrived
Arrived alive
Gonna build a lift
As a gift
And shift…
Into overdrive

Build a lift up to the stars
Build a lift up so far
Raise the bar
Beyond lunar
More, more in store
A love allure
Love allure

Overdrive
Alive
I’ve…
Alive
Live
Queen in a beehive
Gonna shift
Catch a whiff
Catch the drift

Build a lift
As a gift
Then we’ll shift
Into overdrive

LYRICS
Could this be the beginning of something
Anything at all
Is it the start of the middle
Or the beginning of the end

… beginning of the end

I know from the day I was born
I was something
Now, I don’t that I’ll forever endure
I hoping when I get to the beginning of the end
I head backward
And start again

At absolute zero
Did you know
There are those
That think we might rewind

Is this the start of something
I’d love to make the most of everything
All my time
No waste of rhyme

Is this the start of the middle
Or the beginning of the end
(The age-old riddle…)
What message will we send

If you play like you should
You know you’ll be good
If you say that you would
You’ll rock the neighborhood

The people will stand. The people will stare.
Amazed that you are really there
The people will clap. The people will yell.
Oh, yeah! Then, you’ll be able to tell

When the reaper comes for you
What are you going to do?
When malice confronts Alice
Through the looking glass?

Chorus
The humans in their zoo
Try to weep ’till they’re blue
Your haggis is the stew
Anyone have a clue?

When the creeper is stalking you
What are you going to do?
When ill-vice confronts justice
There’ll be no free pass

It’s a long ride ’till the end of the road
Sure hoping my patience won’t explode
Saw a sign up ahead… read what it said
“Home is here… or wherever you make your bed”

Lay your head

Their endless loop of confusion
A contusion
End fruitless loops of confusion
Begin enthusiasm

Lay your head
