LYRICS
Dropping bombs
Blowin’ up babies
Filling tombs
With young ladies
We’d like to reconcile-ate
For our rape and our hate
What can we do for you
Reconciliation
For our damn nation… damnation
What do you say
How can we repay
You lost your tooth? Truth?
Teeth?
… in disbelief
The truth of tooth for a tooth
Or an I for an I
Did it cost you and arm and a leg
Can we compensate you with a peg?
What is the cost of your loss?
What is the cost of your lost?

This is about Donald Trump’s ban on Muslim’s. Legal residents of the USA are not allowed to renter the country if they are from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. In how many of these countries has the United States try to inflict regime change and invoke civil wars? The U.S. should take in 100% of refugees from countries whose governments we have overthrown.

Band together and join THE RESISTANCE

LYRICS
You call this art? Need a blood flowchart
The art of warfare is everywhere
I could sure start with a blood flowchart
Beware of the blood-flow over there
I wouldn’t want you to step in it
It’s worse than stepping in… worse than stepping in… stepping in $hit
The art of warfare is everywhere

A picture’s worth a thousands words
A million words can’t describe the toll of a sole soul
The art of warfare is everywhere
Ya know this ain’t Vincent Van Gogh
We make Picasso look less absurd

The risk to every art critic… you’re gonna get hit
There’s a fan… and, when the $hit gets to it… you’re gonna get hit
The art of warfare is everywhere

Die-a-gram for Over-cooked Turkey.mp3

LYRICS
May I say, happy holiday? Can you tell me, “How do you like your turkey?”
Our recipe for catastrophe:
Now, somehow Moscow resides on both sides
In France, they’re doing the (anti)terror dance
Invoking the Kremlin gremlin
The Kremlin gremlin provoking a turkey basting
Are you telling me I am the delicacy? Noooo… I don’t wanna be in the recipe!
Too many cooks in the kitchen… too many kooks in the kitchen
And, here I am sayin’, “I need a die-a-gram”

All the while up to their ears in Syria diarrhea
Some sick Islamic
Don’t ya think that’ll stink?
Leave it up to their fears in Syria diarrhea
You ISIS? I is not ISIS
No Boca Raton killing marathon
While Al-Shabaab rape n’ rob
Run as fast as you can from the Taliban
Oh my gawd! No Jihad
Please read the Qur’an agin’
Is that what is meant? The Qur’an is based on the New Testament… which is based on the Old Testament. We’re all on top of the same base-meant.
And, here I am, “I need a die-a-gram”

The Saudi’s out of Yemen
Can I get an Amen?
They ran from Iran
More than a crack in Iraq
Now who’s gettin’ in
Na, na, na not China
And, here I am, “I need a die-a-gram”

What’s left of the leftovers? What’s the deal with this holiday meal? I’ve been rooked… the turkey’s over-cooked! What else can I say on Thanksgiving Day?

Die-a-gram for Over-cooked Turkey

LYRICS
Hard to believe the pace
Of our latest arms race
Russia, Iraq, Afghanistan
Not really sure which wars we’re in?
Ukraine, Syria, Iran…
You reign? Seriously, I ran

Where to begin….
Russia rushing in
For crying out loud
While all the while Putin actin’ proud
Crimea Annexation
Cry me a river (exasperation!)

Unbelievable human race
Gonna leave us without a trace
Spreading like Malaria in Nigeria
I’s is in hysteria
Isis and Boko Haram
Teenage hostage harem

Dead Babies In Syria

LYRICS
An abominable snowman
Part creature… part man
The part abominable
Most probable
Man
Abominable… causing moral revulsion
Diversion, subversion, exclusion

Time for the inclusion solution
Let’s hope humanity can bounce back
After our ethical attack

Pushed ourselves over the cliff
Mostly over a religious riff
The penalty… swift and stiff
Time to be humble
Overcome our bumble

Do what counts
Do the bumble bounce

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — F# / G

Daniel — Vocals, Guitar, Synthesizers (All instruments played simultaneously and extemporaneously.)

“Christians are the most widely persecuted religious group in the world today and this evening we think especially of the Middle East, especially of Egypt, Iraq and Syria,” The Archbishop of Canterbury, Christmas, 2013

This song was inspired by the travesty of religious conflicts and killings during 2013. Unfortunately, the list is too long to list… Shiite, Sunni, Armenians, Christian, Buddhists, Dinka, Nuer, Beni Hussein, Rizeigat, Jews, Muslims… in Syria, Israel, Burma, South Sudan, Central African Republic, Nigeria, Turkey, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq… and on and on. Let’s pray we can bounce back.

From the album Miss Christmas and part of the on-going Christmas Music Experiment.

LYRICS
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, lift-off
This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
Can you hear me, Major Tom
Are you even awake?
Cause if you are, I have a feeling you’d shake
We don’t need gun-control
What’s needed hear is bomb-control

We nuked all these kids in World War II
Then, we tried to… er, a… ya know… say it wasn’t true

How about in Iraq
When we did the attack
On the sewage treatment plants
Just so we could kill tens of thousands and thousands of kids
With their own feces
We’ll my thesis is — that’s sick!

This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
Can you hear me, Major Tom
Are you even awake?

Are you conscience
Do you have a conscience

This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
Can you hear me, Major Tom
I’m telling ya
Something’s gone wrong
The wiring in your brain has gone insane
The drone attacks
The CIA
You can’t just sodomize everyone everyday

This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
Can you hear me, Major Tom
Come in
Can you hear me….

This is Bomb-control
And, I gotta say things are outta control

Bomb Control.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — G Em G C D G

Written and recorded on December 16, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania as an impromptu response to the calls for gun-control in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shootings. If we want to stop the mass murder of kids, we need to wake-up and look in the mirror. U.S. citizens are responsible for killing a multitude of thousands.

It was written in conjunction with the article
Gun Control? We Need Bomb Control

P.S. thank you to David Bowie
