LYRICS
When the government
Wants to implement
Some sort of punishment
It’s time to vote
To take a toke
Time to invoke
A recall of ’em all

When a politician
Takes a position
Of persecution
It’s time to vote
To take a toke
Time to invoke
A recall of ’em all

Should have left that dog alone

This ain’t your home
This ain’t your throne
Should have left that dog alone

Making him put up a fight
He’s liable to bite
Should have left that dog alone

Not quite right
Should have left that dog alone

LYRICS
Until they don’t let ya be
It’s hard, really hard to see
How much it means to be free
So get up off your seat
And on to your “feat”

Make the move meant

It’s time to get up
It’s time to stand up
It’s time to fight for your rights

Doylestown
Might think they’re a royal town
Reigning tyranny down on me
But I want them to know
We won’t let it go
Gonna fight for our rights

Make the move meant

LYRICS
The sun reflecting off a window
Then it hits me as it hits me
Too many people living with sorrow
Their tomorrow is troubling to see

Being as free as I can be
While law enforcement is unruly

The fun reflecting off of my mind
Then it fits me as it hits me
So many people treating unkind
Time to find ways to the lovely

Being as free as I can be
While politicians are unruly

LYRICS
The policeman, the judge… the mayor
Have it out for the butcher and the baker
The policeman, the judge… the mayor
Have it out for everyone even the candlestick maker
Bet you find that hard to believe
Sure you find that hard to believe

An eruption of corruption beyond imagination
Devastation to civilization beyond comprehension
Bet you find that hard to believe
Sure you find that hard to believe

LYRICS
Are you feeling lucky?

Take a look around and see
Starvation, humiliation, degradation…
Are you feeling lucky?

Take a look and see
How would you like to be
Running, hiding, the bombs cascading
Starving and dying while the world’s watching
Are you feeling lucky?

Climb the tallest tree
And, see what you can see
Segregation, homogenization, elimination
Of privacy
Are you feeling lucky?

LYRICS
Nothing like a smile
Lifts ya up a mile
Put the wind in sail
Never settle to fail

No matter the tribulation
No matter the trial
We’re gaining the satisfaction
With humanitarian style

When the storm clouds come
And darken it for you
You know the light — The Light
Is gonna shine on through

This song was inspired by good cops and bad cops. After dealing with some bad police in Doylestown, PA, I had the pleasure of dealing with some good police in West Chester, PA. While writing this song two different West Chester police went out of their way to be kind. The one with the big smile and wave started the lyrics.

Praying for a miracle
Pray n’ pray n’ pray

During the night dream
Of a more peaceful scene

Say hey say hey my my

For a more peaceful scene

LYRICS
If the dog bites
You can lick ’em
When the system fights
Try n’ be a gem

No matter the outcome
We can overcome

If they try to bring you down
Turn you into their clown
Twist you smile to a frown
Time they get out of town

If the pig slights
You can cook ’em
When it comes to rights
Let there be no qualm

No matter the outcome
We can overcome

If they try to bring you down
Turn you into their clown
Twist you smile to a frown
Time they get out of town

LYRICS
Though I might look unproductive
Playing music on the bench
Maybe too tight… restrictive
… becoming your monkey wrench

I could be the wrench in the works
Screwing with all the little quirks

Look into the crystal ball
See what we could do for all
Depends if we have the balls
Or just their voodoo dolls

Put your ear

And, you’ll hear it coming

Oh, my, Lord
Goodness gracious
The people I’ve seen… the places
Never board

Put your ear to the track
And, in fact
You’ll hear it coming
Clickety-clack

See it coming ’round the bend
Passing through
And headed to

When you’re caught up in a whirlwind
You watch it spin

Yell to her
“Into the storm cellar!”

Do you know where I am?
Toto, too?

When you’re caught up in a whirlwind
You watch it spin
Caught up in a whirlwind

Caught up in a whirlwind

Caught up in a whirlwind

When you’re caught up in a whirlwind
You watch it spin

Land in the land of the munchkin
Build a new world with the lollipop guild

World whirl windfall
