LYRICS
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

In the morning, come clean from being so mean
In the evening, calm down
Find where the love is found
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Can you explain why you’re causing so much pain
How can you find joy in snatching a baby’s toy?
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Miss “The Grinch That Stole Christmas”?
Don’t you wanna know how large your heart can grow
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Does any brain remain
Certainly none sane
Be sure to save a piece
For understanding love and peace
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

LYRICS
What’s your fate
Volcano of hate
That’s poor taste
Oh, no! The waste
Just can’t wait
Volcano of hate
Destruction eruption

Whirlwind of sin
Tornado of hate
Pinned to “has been”
Human waste
Just can’t wait
Tornado of hate
Destruction rotation

Crush romance
Avalanche of hate
Each and every chance
You participate
Just can’t wait
Avalanche of hate
Smother sister
Smother brother
’til there is no other

Red Flag.mp3

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
I’m coming at you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming at you with repentance

Sure, someday you’ll pay
But, it doesn’t have to be my way
I’m more than happy

The future’s your own destiny
It’s not up to me
Choose your own destiny

I’m coming at you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming at you with repentance

There’s no need to be defensive
This is all meant for our own good
If we would have just done what we could
Then we wouldn’t be in the dilemma
A little more Dalai Lama
A little less crusade
Would bring the aid

I’m coming after you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming after you with repentance

Every life comes to an end
Will your soul ascend…
On Judgement Day
When justice comes your way

I’m coming after you
There’s not much you can do
I’m diligent
Not violent
Gotta get the repentance through

LYRICS
Never been in this place before
So close to the edge
The outcome… unsure
Never been in this space before
So close to the judge
The vision a blur

What the hell are we doing
Pollution
Suing
De-evolution pursuing
Solution avoidance
Despite evidence
Wipe-out existence

The minds that shine will shine, shine, shine
But
Never been to this place
To history trace
The accumulation of the humanization blunders
Then… as one… wonders
What the hell are we doing
Pollution
Suing
De-evolution pursuing
Solution avoidance
Despite evidence
Wipe-out existence

Please… don’t wipe-out existence

Though it was unintended, the music ended up being inspired by the Kinks’ David Watts. The idea is kind-of like David Watts, too… I wish I could be like David Watts. I wish I could be smart enough… to get through to the people… that don’t care about other people. What the hell are we doing?

Written and recorded on October 1, 2012 at Marsh Creek State Park and other locations in Chester County, Pennsylvania… on an 8-track digital recorder. 2 tracks as stereo guitar (first with no effects, then effects followed by Capo 2 with effects). 2 tracks as stereo vocals. 1 backing vocal with a bullhorn effect. 1 backing vocal with Darth Vader effect. The six tracks were mixed down onto the remaining 2 tracks.

LYRICS
Are you afraid to open your door
See people hurting like never before
Are you afraid to answer the phone
Hear the moan become a constant drone

Are you afraid to show your face
Tired of being made a public disgrace
Are you afraid to communicate
The wrong way on a one-way
Bombarded with hate, hate, thate

Then, please don’t hesitate
To call on God. Let Her mediate.

The place is here. The time is now.
Believe She’ll hear… She does somehow

God’s good grace. The mercy upon you.
Redeem your scene to heavenly… see!

Why not fear not?

LYRICS
What will be your part
When it’s time to depart
What will be the message you send
When you reach your end?

What did you will in your will
Will it serve to help people still
Did you pay off your debt, yet
Let your hair down
Did you care to share your crown
Let it all hang out
Tell the truth what love’s about
Did you care to leave no regret
Or, like an ass
Did you leave nothing behind
Well, it’s not too late
Don’t let another day pass
You can be nice. You can be kind.
Just don’t wait till your post mortem

LYRICS
You! Yes, you.
You’re on the verge of…
[And, I’m realizing
Your victimizing
Puts all on the verge…
We’re on the fringe of violence

Looks like I’ll have to pass you by (sigh!)

Sirens screaming
Distraction leaning
Toward anarchy
A cryin’ shame
We’re to blame
For not takin’ care of our own
Opportunity blown
We crush the lush
Then, try n’ hush
The harm…
Reason for alarm

ABOUT
Written and recorded in April 2012
The original idea came from feeling hatred from another as I watched them pass by in West Chester, PA. The more intelligent part was inspired from feeling love on the streets of Ambler, PA. The one line about taking care of our own is a protest to a Bruce Springsteen… because, we ain’t done a very good job of taking care of humans, have we?

bookmark_borderJoe’s Alibis For Hate

ABOUT THIS SONG
I made a deal with my co-author (God) that I would not sell out. So, I try not to. However, when it comes to songs that talk about hate or anger, it is tough. I’d prefer not to do these songs… because love is easier. Nevertheless, here it is — what someone’s hate toward us sounds like. Then, as the song progresses, the co-author and I make a suggestion to the hate-monger

instead of them just wearing a black hat, we ask them to crawl back and fade all the way to black. That way no one has to see how ugly. Hate, go away.

[i.e. A song about a hometown near you.]

LYRICS
Yow! Spreading hate like a #%Ckin’ disease
You’ve got the mange, and you’re sporting fleas
Maggots, a leech… maybe some sort-of worm
Has eaten the heart right out of your heart
Now a shadowy, pitiful *lurking in the dark*
Creatures of slime eaten your warm
Fuzzy turned to slurm, harm, germ
[Spreading hate like a #%Ckin’ disease]

Won’t you fade to black
You’re already better than half way (there)
No… no, no, please do not delay
Crawl back
Fade to black

Humans
Create fate
Humans
Create dates

Human’s fate
Set their date

At any rate
There’s no debate
Our state…
Irate

We’ve gone mad
Off our rocker
All more than a tad
Beyond rational

Create hate?
Participate
Via voyeur
Then begin
The citizen
If we fall folly
To our
Un-natural nation

The gravity
Of no passivity
Leaves no pity

Create hate?
Participate
Via voyeur

Or, didn’t we know
Or, didn’t we NO

For us it is
A dismal prognosis

DOA RIP

Pray love gets the best of me.

Well, well, well
I thought I knew you
Well, well, well
Then, you showed me
Well… well…
You showed me hell

It may not have been this way
From the start
But, now you’ve grown dark
With a blackened heart

As time went by
You ceased to try
Then, further on
You grew malevolent
Who knew
Evil would become prevelent

I thought I really knew you before
Now, I can tell you
Tell you for sure
It may not have been this way
From the start
But, now you’ve grown dark
With a blackened heart

Luckily,
I’ve been set free
Hopefully,
Not just me
Maybe someday
You’ll find the way
To let love be the power
The power of our

We can depart
From the blackened heart
