LYRICS
I could drone on and on and on and on
About civilians prone to the attack of the drone
Like a new born baby, I could cry and wail
About the plight of the killed killer whale

State sanctioned execution
Coal Age pollution electrocution
Currency manipulation devaluation

I could moan on and on and on and on
About civilians prone to the burden of the government loan
Like a scene from a nightmare dream, I could scream
About humans being so #%& damn mean

LYRICS
I’m not looking for you to spare a dime
I’m not looking for any of your time
I’m just asking you do the asking of you

At the end of it all
Can you stand tall?
Will you stand at all… or will you fall?
Yell! Heaven or hell (Hell no!)

Do you offer shelter from the howling wind
Do you offer refuge? It’s time to begin
Implications are huge… not only for you, but me, too

Chorus

ABOUT THIS SONG
While I was trying to record video for how to play the guitar part, the wind was blowing. Since I didn’t yet have a title for the song, I called it what I was trying to do — block the wind. Then, a guy came buy and threw me a dime. The lyrics developed from there.

LYRICS

PART I
Mama had a baby and it’s head popped off
Unless there’s less stress
For sure, the pressure will kill
Until,
There’s less stress

Shake that soda up
(Watch that soda pop)

Until,
There’s less stress
In the system
We’ll all be the victim
Of too much pressure
For sure

Shake that soda up
Until it’s soda pop

PART IV
Mama had a baby and it’s head popped off
Unless there’s less stress
The pressure will build
The pressure will kill
Unless there’s less stress

Go ahead, and shake that soda up
Watch that soda pop

Mama had a baby and it’s head popped off

Unless there’s less stress

Go ahead, and shake that soda up
Watch that soda pop

Mama had a baby and it’s head popped off

For sure
The pressure
Will kill

LYRICS

Chorus
Eenie Meenie Miney Mo
They got Poe by the toe
They’d better… better let him go

Instead, why don’t you create an institution to the F’n Constitution
’cause don’t you think it’s about time?
No victim. No Crime.

Chorus

Instead, why don’t you sedate your confusion… militant delusion
’cause don’t you think it’s about time?
No victim. No Crime.

Chorus

Instead, why don’t you generate satisfaction… occupant inclusion
’cause don’t you think it’s about time?
No victim. No Crime.

LYRICS
Crazy roadtrip down I-81
Going down and back
Just for fun
Driven by the boychild
Toward Mexico
Just so he can go
Appalachian hiking wild

Chorus
Dancing! Dancing on the the line
Dancing! On a line too fine
The slippage of your baggage
Rupture rapture carnage
Seepage

CHORDS
Chorus — Em Am C D A C
Verse — Em C G A E

Made in the USA. Conceived on a roadtrip down Interstate 81 from Pennsylvania to Virginia Tech and back. My son needed a ride back to VA so that he could walk the Appalachian Trail back to PA. On the road, an 18-wheeler kept creeping across the line. He yelled out, “Yo! Dancing on the line.” So, this is basically a song about the thrills of being on the road… be it in a car or walking through the wilderness.

Wonder what it would be like
To own a throne
Splendor spike for the psych
Crown of thorn
World is torn

Chorus
As soon as you sit your arse down
The miracles are found
Go ahead… sit your arse down
The miracles abound

Wonder what it would be like
To loan a throne
Splendor spike for the psych
I’m not alone

Sit your buttocks down

LYRICS
No matter what we may do
We’ve gotta keep the faith
Nemesis hubris does pursue
The promise of the oath

Maketh me to lay down in green pasture
Pray for the calm to come faster

No matter what we may do
We’ve gotta keep the faith
Life deceased reflects you
Can’t have one… must have both

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Thank God for every moment ’till my last final dying gasp of breath

LYRICS
If you don’t believe me
Take a look and see

From devastating
The Redwood Forest
To annihilating
The very poorest
Mass destruction
From sea sea
This land was trashed by you and me

If you don’t believe me
Take a look and see
People living happily
From resurrecting
Light in the darkest
To embracing
The very poorest
May jubilation
Setting us free
Understand peace and harmony
Understand peace between you and me

LYRICS
What makes someone act like that?
Makes ya wonder
Why someone would act like that
Why they squander
The love… when that’s where it’s at

Why do people hate and kill
Makes ya wonder
Plenty of yield to fulfill
Yet we squander
Let love cure these mentally ill

What makes someone rape and pillage
Makes ya wonder
Why someone wants the Ill Age
Why they squander
The love when that’s the courage

LYRICS
Just landed on this stage
And, it’s all the world
What planet? Say, what Age?

Is it an Age you can grow old
When a future generation can be told
Or, an Age when the arrogant’s too bold
When all our live’s expectations have been sold

Is that our world?

Is it a stage you know you can play
Where a fortune generation is to say
The way to truth when you know the way
When all our expectations unfold

Is that our world?

I’m just a foreigner passing through
Praying my days aren’t too few
I’m just a foreigner passing through
Praying to make the most of all I do

Is that our world?

Prepare to splash down!
Sure hope there’s water on mars
More than a frown
To be let down
After traveling so far

Want to hear something bizarre?
The sun’s the closest star
You’re face-to-face with an alien in space

Prepare to get down
To 30 Seconds To Mars
Kings, Queens and wars
The perfect sound
After traveling so far

Chorus

Now, up in the air
Playing drums and guitars
Perfect spot right there
The place is found
After traveling so far

If they try to know you down
Push you all around
Get up off the ground
Let the force be found

So, the piece you may find
The solution to your puzzle
On life’s juice chug n’ guzzle
