LYRICS
Do you think this is
When you think this is
If you think this is
Have you heard of show biz?

Can you feel it coming
You know you feel it coming
Do you look within
If you feel it coming
You know you feel it coming
What are we doing?

Beware of “awes” behind the curtain
For certain, if there’s one thing certain
There’s no onw no where wanting hurtin’
Forget the rest. Wink. Smile. Flirtin’….

LYRICS
What makes you so certain
That we’re apt to adapt
Our evolving motion
Could very well snap

Still we forget nature is fragile
We regret we mature… yet gullible
Forgot to think all we extinct
Jack broke his crown… just ask Jill

LYRICS
These are some really strange days
Whether we messed-up the weather
In oh so many ways

It’s making me feel a bit see (sea) sick
Hard to believe it’s hard to breath
The air’s getting so thick

Strange how these are such strange days
Could you please help me… push RTZ (return to zero)
Phase us out of this complacent phase

LYRICS
A rat in a maze
A cat in a cage
Not hard to amaze
So easily enrage

Just like a monkey pushing a button
Chain-gang bustin’ rock by the ton
Grooming each others fleece for fleas
Amazing we get anything done

LYRICS
What is our solution
To the saline solution
Can you see
We’ve left the sea
In a terrestrial evolution

Hear we’re filling the ocean
With our own pollution
Can you see
We’re killing the sea
In a tribal revolution

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — G Em

This song was inspired by a trip to the Shore with my son. It got me thinking that the human body is mostly salt water. I fail to see how we can pollute the sea.

LYRICS
Standing in the ocean
Watching the tide roll out
I start to thinking
My feet are sinking
I begin figgerin’
What life’s about

Standing in the ocean
Watching the tide roll in
As I get a notion
My body’s in motion
The spirit’s en route
Life’s precious… no doubt

LYRICS
Don’t blink. Don’t think.
Do wink. No kink.

If you read the signs and obey
You might be headed the wrong way
Don’t always believe what they say
Or from the path you may stray

Ding-dong. Clock’s gong.
Time slide in stride

LYRICS
There’s something different in the way you think
There’s something different in the way you see
I think with the universe you sync
I see in our time it will be

Chorus
If you want, you can have it
(But) Do you need… ’cause when you bleed it
We concede it… we’re conceited

There’s something different in the way you go
There’s something different in the way you move
The way you go with the flow
In the pocket… in the groove

LYRICS
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

LYRICS
How can someone just turn and walk away?
It’s become the way of our day
Haven’t you anything more to say?
How can anyone just turn and walk away?

Chorus
May the peace roll down every mountain
Through the valley
To the sea
May the peace spout out like a fountain
Raining down on you and me
Reigning down on you and me

How can someone not even care?
They don’t have a dime or the time to spare
Making a statement about how life’s not fair
How can anyone claim they’re unaware?

LYRICS
Does it matter
Does it matter not?
It ain’t gonna matter
If you choose knot

Tied up in yourself
Is no way to eternal health
Tied up in “me, my, mine”
Is no way to spend your time

Don’t take the low road
Please take the high
If you try, there’s a chance we’ll all get by

LYRICS
I can’t see clear
Until I’m outta here

’till the shackles are gone
I can’t go wrong
Free of the ball and chain
Before I can roam again

Where do we go from here

I can see your fence
And, I can see past
To a fence past tense
And, we’re free at last

We can see clear
To a place outta here
We can be free
There’s a place… it can be!

With that came the ability to see

LYRICS
Give me freedom, and I’ll be home

Land, sea or foam
Wherever I may roam
Give me freedom, and I’ll be home
Give me freedom, and I’m coming home

Give me freedom, and I’ll be home
Add a dash of liberty
The taste we shall hone
So, the flavor is just right
For civil rights
And, the fat cats
Give up the fight

Give me freedom, and I’ll be home

Lord, tell me I ain’t alone
Give me freedom, and I’ll be home
Ring the bell. We’ll come hone
Give me freedom, and I’ll be home
With praise, prose and a poem
Give me freedom, and I’ll be home
Freedom, here I come
Give me freedom, and I’ll be home

Stampede Of Our Own Confusion.mp3

LYRICS
Who let the fox in the hen house again?
(repeat x3)

As long as we don’t cluck
And, &^$% things up
If we all start panicking
We’ll stampede in our own confusion

Like sitting ducks on the first day of huntin’
(repeat x3)

Probably should take flight
Before we’re in their sights
If they all start shootin’
We’ll stampede in our own confusion

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about politicians and the herd mentality of citizens.

A stampede is an act of mass impulse among herd animals or a crowd of people in which the herd (or crowd) collectively begins running with no clear direction …
