Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Prelude (recorded in the soundcheck)
What if I’ve just been the victim of the world’s greatest con
What if I’m just a victim of everything that’s gone wrong
And, we all bleed
When one of us is bleeding, we concede to bleed.

The Song
Have I just been the victim of the world’s greatest con?
All these people and politicians tell me nothing’s gone wrong?
That’s the wrong song!

Try to convince me
We’re not responsible?
Yes, you try to convince me
That we’re not responsible?
That’s most irresponsible

We’re responsible for all this trash
We’re responsible for all this mess
We’re responsible for all pollution
We’re responsible for institution
De-civilization

Maybe it’s time
We woke up and smell the coffee
Can you smell the coffee
Or, is it just me?

We’ve all got something wrong going on
Well, folks…
Look behind that curtain
It’s a hoax
The Wizard is you
Now, what’cha gonna do?

Have we just victimized ourselves of the greatest con
It’s all around
How it went wrong is now in song

Is it just me or do we have to take responsibility?

LYRICS
Relevant

Relevant
As an elephant
In a China shop
Now, drop

It’s time to be big
Big… bigger than this
Bigger than this
A luscious kiss
Able to transcend
Again and again

Time to get relevant
Like an elephant in a China shop
Now, drop

Relevant

Like an elephant in a China shop
Now, drop
Irreverent in a reverent way
Instead of gone astray
We can band together
As a band
Not, necessarily hand-in-hand
(Staying unique)

Coming relevant
Like an elephant
In a China shop
Now, drop!

Imagine you get all that you want
Imagine your dreams come true

Would you finally have the time
To find your inner view
Would you start to reason and rhyme

LYRICS
The police, like lice, will get in your hair
The police, like lice, are everywhere

Suppose to be a social servant
Suppose to be a civil servant
But, you’re neither civil nor serving
No, you don’t know how to be civil or serve

Causing me to flee
Bugging me out
The police, like lice
All these lice and flees
They’re bugging me out
I can’t scratch enough
They’re so &%$damn tough

The police, like lice, will get in your hair
The police, like lice, are everywhere

Police
Mean
Scream, “We need help!”

Hello, 911
I’m being assaulted by an officer of the law
He’s out of line
He’s out of bounds
He’s an outlaw

Assault
Kidnapping
Being restrained against my will
Bring on more trouble, still

LYRICS
Your voice is a gift from God
Let’s hide our pride
Instead of being proud
Let’s get loud

Your voice is a gift from God
Let’s get out The Word
With a meaning deeper
Than just a sound blurb

Can you feel it?
Can you hear it?
Can you get to know it?

If you listen with your heart
You can start to take part
Are you listening?

Wisdom and knowledge glistening
With the power of know
You can go

LYRICS
Will you follow?
Will you follow me to the other side?

Will you come with me to see?
Will you come?
(Watch afar as the world comes undone)

Did you know you could go
Pass through the looking glass
Why not pass through the looking glass

Come with me and see
Pass through the looking glass
Go deep inside
Then, spread it far and wide
Dig deep inside
Then, spread it far and wide

To the other side
To the farside
From inside to outside

Do you know
Will you follow
Will you go
Will you come with me
Will you come see
What lies beyond
Come to see
What lies with me

LYRICS
Got to try to get the knot out of whatnot
Got to try to untangle the mess
Got to try to straighten out the situation
Before we go into critical realization

Got to get the know out of whatnot
Before we’re dead, buried and forgot
Got to try to untangle this mess
Got to get the knot out of whatnot
Got to get the not out of whatnot

Got to see… maybe if we clear the debris
Maybe we can grasp the notion
Rise up above the commotion

Let’s get things in motion
Quit searching for a magic potion
There’s no need to cross the ocean
Again and again and again
No need to climb a mountain

Forget about never
We’ll stick together
Forget about forever
We’re right now
Somehow
We’re going to rise above the commotion
Get a grasp of the notion
We can create a motion
We can untangle this mess, I confess
Get the knot out of whatnot
Get the not out of whatnot

LYRICS
Through the gauntlet to the guillotine
When you get caught up, get caught up, get caught up…
In the money machine
It’s through the gauntlet to the guillotine

When you get caught up, get caught up, get caught up…
In the money machine
The people are nice…
They’re oh so mean

You’d hope you’d wake from this dream
’cause it’s too obscene
See what you can bring to the scene

You would think enough stink
You would have thought we’ve had enough to drink of that stink

Through the gauntlet to the guillotine
’till you’ve seen everything obscene

Why would you stretch the neck for the blade
Get out of the sun and into the shade
Before you know how to swim, you’d better just wade
Out of the sun and into the shade

LYRICS
In the hour of power
Our power
All that came before that was sour
In that final hour
She said, she will show LOVE

Shinning down from above

She, who holds the key
In the final hour
In the hour of power
We’ll find out our

Our punishment or reward

If you want to be under the shower
Of Her LOVE
Then, have faith in above

She said, I didn’t denounce her name
I loved Her all the same
And, in the reflection of the image
She’s been showering Love back again

Didn’t let her name go down in vain

Hour of power
Our final hour
Some may say it’s judgement day
Eventually everybody will find their way

When you get to your Baptism
Will it be Psalms and hymns
Or Brimstone and Satin
On your Judgement Day?

Chords — Em Cm7 Em Em(add 9)

LYRICS
Do you think she really did that on purpose
So, disruptive
So, do you really think she did it on purpose
Self-punitive

Do you know why would she do that on purpose
Inexplicable
So, do you believe she would do it on purpose
Unexplainable

Why would anyone ever do that on purpose
Worthless
So, do you really think she did it on purpose
Pointless

Do you think she really did that on purpose
So, disruptive
So, do you really think she did it on purpose
Self-punitive

Shoot yourself in the foot
Make every point moot

Shoot yourself in the foot
Ripped out by the roots
Making your every point moot
Give it the South Philly salute

Guess I’ll take my marbles and go home
No more of the lame game
Watching you fiddle as you burn Rome
Don’t wanna take part in the shame

LYRICS
It is hard to believe you can live this way
First free, then not me, then free again
When I first was free, sure, it was lovely
And, rather it had stayed that way
But, the way some play their cards
Is not fair, but who am I to declare
Suppose it will stand on it’s own if I am the clown
As for now, I do not mind what is behind
For once again, freedom rings… it sings
It brings justice into the light
We know everything is going to be alright

Love for me to be free
Love for you to do so too
Love for me to be free
Love for you to do so too

Persecution
Prosecution
No resolution
Discrimination
Still have my determination
Determine nation
solution
Restitution
Without prostitution
Of ethics and morals
Have we the ….

To get it up
To stand it up
Look at it from many angels
Call in the angels

Love for me to be free
Love for you to do so too

LYRICS
Who is that knocking at my door?
Who is there?
There’s something special in the air.

This is the part I’ve been waiting for
Just don’t know if I can wait any more
It’s been a long, long time coming
Now, peace is at my door
It’s been a long time. That’s for sure.

Raise our arms to the sky
Let out the cry… of peace
Peace, the decree we cry out
As we open the door
Peace, that’s you. There’s no doubt.

“Peace, I’m damn glad you’re home”
When I’m with peace, I’m never alone
“Peace, I’m damn glad you’re home”
A long lost friend I’ve forever known
