LYRICS
They say “you live and you learn”
I see we’re alive… what have we learned?
Can’t cross back over bridges burned
There’s a lesson well learned
They say “you live and you learn”
I see we’re alive… what have we learned?
You can’t spend what you haven’t earned
There’s a lesson well learned
They say “you live and you learn”
I see we’re alive… what have we learned?
Can’t see ’round the corner ’til turned
There’s a lesson well learned

LYRICS
There’s a cold wind blowing
Wrapping itself around your spine
Sending shivers up and down mine
Can we really be ending
The infinity of eternity
Is there any uncertainty
In the message we are sending
There’s a mean storm brewing
Revolution of evolution
Desolation of our institution
Chorus
There’s lean times a coming
Lacking meat in what we eat
Helter skelter in our shelter
Chorus

LYRICS
If you want your dreams to come true
Dream them until they do
Rome wasn’t built in a day
Sometimes time’s the price you pay
Please wish me a Merry Christmas
No matter the time of year
Love to dream of a wish list
My, God! God for my dear
If you want your dreams to come true
Dream them until they do
Faith, hope and charity
Unto the fools bring clarity

LYRICS
Took a look around and instantly found
A brain of feces is common in my species
If you want to get up, you’ve gotta get out of bed
At the end of the day, what can be said?
Get your get your feet running before you hit the ground
Puzzle a thesis and figure out the pieces
Chorus
Is your only path to knowledge to be force fed
Didn’t graduate from college ’cause knowledge you dread

LYRICS
Have you been a good little girl or boy?
Now you want Santa to bring you a toy
Have you been good the whole year through
Or, I’ll have bad news
Coal in the stocking blues
I heard people talking
They said it’s shocking
Jaw dropping
Eye popping
Been good the whole year through… well, have you?
Or, I’ll have bad news
Coal in the stocking blues
Strum they told me
Stru, stru, stru, stru, strum
A new born king has come
Stru, stru, stru, stru, strum
Break that guitar out of your gunny sack
And give that axe a whack

Oh! No!
Wouldn’t you know
There’s no snow
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near here
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near hear

Wouldn’t you say?
The leaves fell down
Still no snow on the ground
None to be found
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near here
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near hear
Christmas cheer on holiday
Wouldn’t you say?
Advent did begin
December moves in
Still it’s not snowin’

Hard to believe
Approaching Christmas Eve
Pray “at least a dusting, please”

LYRICS
Will it suffice to sacrifice your life
If you know immortality for all eternity
Will it suffice to sacrifice your life
If you just go on to sin and sin again
Are you suppose to resolve all man’s sins
What are you believing
You’ve got to won up to your sin
What are you believing
You can’t run from your sin
If your end never ends
How can you begin to live up to all your sin
You’ve got to take responsibility
Can’t you see
You can’t depend on someone else’s immortality
You’re a sight to see

LYRICS
Just when I thought I’d seen it all
America’s throwing a hatred ball
Ironically, they don’t invite me
I was dying to see if what they’re wearing is lovely
I can’t appreciate loving hate
Red in the face a being irate
Is it too late to start hating hate?
Ironically, that just can’t be
Hating hate will just foster disaster
Perpetuating hate faster and faster
Can’t you see that just can’t be
I don’t want to be hating me

LYRICS
1,2…
Do you think we can make it to….
1+1=2
But I can’t see
How we’ll ever make it to three
Please tell me if it comes to you
(tell me do)
Refrain
1+1=2
What’s troubling me
Is that our degree of difficulty
Is our intelligence too few?
(who knew)
Refrain
1+1=2
Sincerely
Is that it… seriously?
We add up to what it is we do
(come through)

LYRICS
Oh you say you want a rump for president
Oh why are you hellbent?
Oh you say one’s not Earth’s resident
Oh why are you hellbent?
But if you want a mind that hates
Get your rump out of the United States
Another pea-brain playing pinochle
Your Trump card’s gonna buckle
As you devour your own tails
Hors d’oeuvres from the entrails
Oh you say you want to stone the stoners
Oh why are you hellbent?
No shadows in your house of windows
Oh why are you hellbent?
So if ya wanna cast a stone
Better come down off your throne
I hate to shatter your “God” delusion
Ya sure She’s Caucasian?
As you devour your own tails
Hors d’oeuvres from the entrails

LYRICS
Had a vision of you
Didn’t know if it’d come true
Had a vision of you
Didn’t know when it’d come true
Now it’s easy to see…
Now it’s easy for me…
Now it’s easy to see…
See right through
In the dream
You cleansed the mean
In the dream
The mean come clean

Reality plays out
From the stargaze phase
Vision turned to hereabout
