LYRICS
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

How sure is your footing on the precipice of the future
How sure? For sure?
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

Presently I consider the present a present
The recent present won’t persist
No, it won’t last
Men, grasp it while you can!
Before it passes to past
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

Did you notice the crowd
It’s loud!
A mad dash to the finish line
3, 2, 1… then, you’re out of time
3, 2, 1…
Then, you’re done

Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

LYRICS
We’re building a prison
You’re already in
We’re building a prison
Too late to begin

It’s time to shout,
Breakout!
‘take my freedom,
Takeout

What’s our independence all about?

They’re building a prison
I’m already in
They’re building a prison
Too late to begin

Watch the fall… Independence Hall
Watching the fall of us all
Watch the travesty of liberty
Sights our eyes should never see

LYRICS
The knot to tie
The not to try
why not…
Rock You Pie?

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

Rockupy!

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

Rockupy!

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!
