LYRICS
And, the water rushes in
Will it wash away your sin?
Over your toes towards your nose
I hope you can swim
And, the water rushes in

Of course,
You’re not going to change its course
The water ruses in
I can see it’s past your knee
You should have taken that opportunity to flee
The water rushes in
I hope you can swim
I hope you can pray
At least one more day
I pray, “I’ll obey!”

LYRICS
If you’re a little chicken
Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
Do you think the sky is falling to the ground
All around?
Well, it wasn’t a quiz… ’cause it is

Falling all around
It’s falling to the ground
A million square feet of glass
Does not pass through humans so swell
Oh, well?

If you’re a little chicken
Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
’cause you think the sky is falling
Well, you passed the quiz
’cause it is
It’s falling all around
To the ground

Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
A million square feet of glass
A thousand people it could not pass
Asteroid to meteoroid
Enter the atmosphere
Raking fear on anyone near
Oh, dear!

LYRICS
You’re a monster

You’re a monster
In everything you do
You do, you do
In everything you will
You will, you will
You can’t help
You’re a monster

You’re larger than life
You can play the bass
Like a monster
You can sing
Like nothing
Or, everything
Certainly something
Why did you say nothing?
Like nothing else compares

You’re a monster

You Are A Monster.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — G Gm F G A Am

Written in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Digital, 1-track stereo, extemporaneous recording. This song was inspired by friend Rick Reinhart calling me a monster (in a good way.) It made me think of my analogy the “Friendly Dragon”.  A friendly dragon walked into the main street street of a village. The people on the left side of the street saw him and started screaming in terror. When the dragon turned to comfort the paniced people, his tail swung around and destroyed the right side of the village. Moral: be careful with your power even if your intentions are good.

Unless you don’t want your blood

Your going against the current
By the way
You’re not making any headway
When you’re swimming up stream
No matter what you deem
When you’re swimming up stream
No matter what you deem
So, I hope you know how to swim
If you forgot, I hope you remember again
Got to swim

Got to swim

If you know how to swim
There’s a chance to win

Trying to make people sad

But, there’s only so much you can dish out

bookmark_borderRevelation 20:11-15

Then I saw a great white throne and She who was seated on it.
From Her presence earth and sky fled away,
no place was found for them.

I saw the dead,
great and small,
standing before the throne,
and books were opened.

Then another book was opened,
which is the book of life.
the dead were judged by what was written in the books,
according to what they had done.

The sea gave up the dead who were in it,
Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them,
they were judged,
each one of them,
according to what they had done.

Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.
This is the second death, the lake of fire.

If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life,
he was thrown into the lake of fire.

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

ABOUT THE SONG

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.

After a massacre
People get a scare
As though they’re unaware
They try to take my scissors away

Hey! Thinking gone astray
Taking my scissors Away

Just because someday
Someone, somewhere
May slay
You’re going to take my scissors away?

When you can’t take a gun on a plane
The insane use the plane
Does that make it sane to take the plane?

Tough to own a gun in China
So, the insane stab ya
Are we all going to be eating with spoons soon?

Save the day
Before they take my scissors away

LYRICS
If you are down from all these attacks on humanity
Please consider… it might just be our tax for insanity

May the music take us higher
Elevate all we vibrate

If we create
This society
I guess that’s what we do
Then it’s our responsibility to see it through
We create these monsters
Then when it comes time
We distance ourselves further
Farther, further, father

May the music take us higher
And, elevate all we vibrate

May the music
And, all that we do
Take us higher

When you talk about talking about

But, that doesn’t make sense

Please don’t be dumb with our freedom
Why would you want to give mine away

Killing Me With Insanity.mp3 (Free MP3 Download or Streaming Audio)

LYRICS
Intro: Just because you’re ignorant
Or, have a fear
There is no need to bear it hear (here)

If you are ignorant
Or, having a phobia
Then, I am telling ya
Get a grip
Don’t talk
Don’t spout
Irrationally
’cause you’re killing me
You are kkkkkkkkilling me

If you want to talk gun control
Then call me some kind of troll
You’re killing me

Instead
Educate yourself
And, not only will you gain self-wealth
But, you’ll bear fruit for society
(helping with the insanity)

If we all were to act responsibly, respectfully, prospectively
We could see what could be
We could live in peace and harmony
But, when you get fear… phobia
Or, going to get ignorant and scared of the unknown
Well, you’re better off being alone
’till you can educate
Ya, from the apple of knowledge you ate
And, then we can talk reasonably… rationally
Instead of killing me

Look who is sounding militant
The one that wants to melt down all the guns
’cause it will take an army
To take your guns away
Do you think it will be any safer that day?

When ya talk that talk
Like you don’t know
’cause you don’t know
With a knee-jerk reaction
With less of a knee and more of a jerk
