LYRICS
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech
When you start to wine, wail n’ preach
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech

Chorus
If you’re going to talk the talk
Better make sure you can walk the walk
To get what we teach to reach
(2) To get what we seek in deep
What we seek to sink in deep

Start to think I can see the kingdom come come
When we start to find, sail n’ then some
Start to think I can see the kingdom come come

Chorus

LYRICS
You can’t smoke
You can’t drink
They’re passing a law — you can’t think

You can’t toke
Doesn’t oppression stink?
Placing the last straw
You can’t even blink

Chorus
America!
Home of the free and brave?
America!
Or are we now the slave?

The bloated bloke
Greased palm and a wink
Causing a flaw
And more than one kink

Chorus

LYRICS
All the days under the sun
Like father, like son
All the ways our mission won
Like father, like son

A chip off the ‘ole block
Contribution to the genetic clock
A chip off the ‘ole block
Reign’s end drawing near… tick-tock

Chorus

Standing up for freedom
Bringing sum enlightenment to some
Fighting for the good fight
Giving proof through the night
Are you aware? Our flag’s still there

Chorus

Hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle
Little Boy Blue and the Man In The Moon
Boy to man then to dust too soon
When you coming home Dad (Son)? “I don’t know when…
You know we’ll get together then.”

LYRICS
If nothing really matters
Why even bother?
But, matter, it does
Better do your matter
Before you’re latter

No, no, no, don’t ever give up
Yeah, yeah, yeah, have faith in hope
La, la, la we can change the slope

We can glide
We can slide
We can glide
It’s all downhill
we can ride
The rising tide
We can slide
’till our asses spark
What a thrill

The knot to tie
The not to try

Rock You Pie?

For a real dream
Add ice cream
Rock-you-pie a la mode

Down the commode
Hand clapper for the crapper
As in, “Do you get it…
Flush that shit!”

Writing the First Amendment Song While Sitting on the 1st Amendment

LYRICS
It’s the 1st Amendment
Whether you like it or not
The 1st Amendment
Ya can’t piss in “It” without the pot
[We ain’t even got a pot to piss in. Sing it again!]

Do ya get “it”? This is our permit

As I sit on the rock of the constitution
Watching the evolution of a revolution
Solution? (x5)

Tick-tock on the rock
Of freedom
Universal communication vibration
The #1 celebration

You are free to sing
You are free to dance
Whatever is your thing
To help further existence
The First Amendment
Whether you like it or not
And, I can’t take it back.
No. I won’t take it back!
