bookmark_borderInsanity (and the Criminally Insane)

Posted on by admin

“If we focus on getting ‘guns out of the hands of the criminally insane’ instead of focusing on ‘why are people behaving with this insanity’, we won’t solve the problem.”

A song inspired by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings and the 22 children slashed with a knife in the Chinese school stabbings.

Insanity (and the Criminally Insane).mp3

LYRICS
What do you blame this insanity on?
Society
Society insanity
Don’t blame it on the gun
That’s not how this society will run
Don’t blame it on the murder weapon

If someone is criminally insane
If their brain can not refrain
From the criminal thought…
It comes to be an obsessive compulsive behavior
Then for sure…
Insanity

It’s too aplenty in my humble opinion
It’s society’s sin

Um…
Don’t treat the symptom
We need to find a cure
That’s for sure
We need a cure

Despite their doom and fear

Though the Mayan calender may end
Even after, you’ll be my friend

LYRICS
Are you feeling Christmasy?
Are you feeling Christmasy
Like me
Are you, too

Although
You know
There’s no snow
And, the mailman
Doesn’t come anymore
With Christmas cards to your door
But, there’s still plenty of parties
And, there’s still plenty of cheer
You’ve got to love the Christmas time of year

Are you feeling Christmasy?
Are you feeling Christmasy
Like me… are you?

Sure Christmas has it’s ho, ho, ho
But, reggae has Christmas ya know?!?!
We go hey, hey, hey!
Ho, ho, ho
Hey, hey, hey

Are you feeling Christmasy
Every time of year when Christmas is near

LYRICS
I walk upright
Am a little too bright
For my own good
That’s who I am
Did the best I could
Will do the best I can
’cause that’s who I am

Do you find it bizarre
That’s who we are

The omnivore
Cast as Earth’s whore
Just take a look at our shape…
Not much better than an ape

Coach, let’s catch the last stage coach
Ride off into the setting sun
As it all comes undone

The sun is shining in….

The sun is shining in
On the inside
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

The sun is shining in….

Now, a new life can begin
The sun is shining in
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

As the sun sets on society
We question
“Hey, didn’t we have plenty?”
Why the suffering
On the outside
There’s no place to run
There’s no placed to hide
On the outside

The sun is shining in
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

Come on join in
Come on join in
On the inside
The smile is twice as wide

The sun is shining in

Let the sun shine in
On the inside
As the sun is setting on the outside

LYRICS
The last time I was in heaven
God asked, “Do you want to do it again?”
I said, “Yes, please. Human!”

If I can do it again
You bet. You’re in.
Do it again
Human

I thank you kindly
For giving me the opportunity
To be all I can be as me

If I happen to have the chance
To catch the final dance

I’m eternally grateful
For this opportunity
To be part of humanity
And, to try to make it humane — Humane humanity
It could be quite sane
Sanity
Humane humanity

This is really being born again
Oh, thank you, Lord
Under the finest star
Your sun
I thank you, oh, Lord
Getting to experience time one more time

The last stage coach out of here
Into the setting sun
To the home that’s dear
I can feel it near

Thank you, Lord
I can see
Being a human being
Then, I can mean
Without being mean
Mean without mean

We can let go
We can come to know
Our collective knowledge
Is the rhythm of our souls

It’s the rhythm of our souls

Please, yes, please
Again as human!

LYRICS
What are you doing today?
Do you have anything better than to play
And, Jah the day away

What are you doing today?
What are you doing with your life
If you want to come this way… there’s less strife
We can do some things
We can make a song everybody sings
We can Jah the day away

What do you say?

If you’ve got something better to do
Like pay your past due
Well, if it’s past due
I suggest you do
Take care of that first
Then, quench your thirst
We can celebrate with a little champagne
A little bubbly-wubbly
Would be due to you when you pay your due
Then, you can come back through
And, Jah the day away

We can Jah the day away
We can love and pray
We can Jah the day away

ABOUT THE SONG

LYRICS
Which came first
God or the image?
(Can you imagine?)

If you can just let yourself be
You can be me
As me as me as you are you
You can be God, too

Which came first
God or God’s image?

Some matter
Some mud
Toss about and becomes a man
Then, comes to realize
There’s more to me than I am
At least there can be more to me
Than I am

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — F C

Written and recorded on December 10, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Genesis 1:25-27
New International Version (NIV)

25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

I get so excited when I think it might
Snow Christmas night
And, if I really believe
Maybe Christmas eve

I get so excited when I think we might
Make Hanukkah bright
Let the light relieve
For eight days and a night

I get so excited when I think we might
Get together… unite!
All religions of The Book
Take on the peace look

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — A E7sus4 C#m7 Aadd9 C#dim

Written and recorded December 9, 2012 in Chester County, PA. The song is intended to bring people of every religion together. After all, Jews, Christians and Muslims all believe in the same God.

Why Don’t Christian’s Celebrate Hanukkah?

And she (virgin Mary) who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her, and We made her and her son a sign for all that exists.
— Chapter Anbiya, verse 91. Holy Koran

And indeed We gave Moses the Scripture, that they may be guided. And We made the son of Mary and his mother as a sign, and We gave them refuge on a high ground, a place of rest, security and flowing streams. And verily this your religion is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me. But they have broken their religion among them into sects.
— Chapter 23 verses 49 50, 52, 53 – Koran

LYRICS
I feel something in the innards
Around the solar plexus
Though describing it perplexes
A touch of God’s is obvious

Pray for today
Your rewards come tomorrow
Pray through the day
May your next one follow

I feel something in my heart
Some sorts of Love’s hexes
Though explaining it perplexes
A touch of God’s is obvious

Chorus

I feel something… let us sing!
Let us be Love’s chorus
Emulate what we can’t articulate
A touch of God’s is obvious

Take a look over there
Take a listen here
With a sound crystal clear
Among friends held dear

Dance is natural
It’ll make you bop and sock-hop
It’ll make you twirl
Music is magical
It’ll make you stop the stop
And, start to feel special

It’ll become your favorite spot
Make you feel comfortable being hot
When you play a song you’re beautiful
When you dance along your unbelievable
Let it be told — sold on out-of-this-world
Why not?
