How Long?

Posted on June 6, 2014June 6, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
So this what we meant by destroying our environment
A thesis on how our feces annihilates our species

How long can this go on
How long can we go wrong
How long the same old song
How long can this go on

This surely ain’t heaven sent… more like hell bent
A retrospect on lack of intellect lacking bases for our faces

Chorus

Right There

Posted on June 6, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
I’ve always been aware
You’ve always been right there
There is no need for the meek to seek
Call out the omniscient freak

I’ve found you surround
Penetratin’ in… hope I’ve got a spout
You’re about to pour out

Right There.mp3

One Foot

Posted on June 12, 2013June 13, 2013 by admin

Songwriting at Marsh Creek State Park, Pennsylvania

LYRICS
One foot in a flood
The other in a drought
At the cost of blood
One Forty-Four K naught

Chorus
In the Age of waste not, want not
We let the land of plenty rot
The last page… the last astronaut
Engage in rage… love’s forgot

We engage in rage and the love is forgot

One foot under water
The other in the grave
Worse than pigs, for sure
The way we behave

Chorus

One I for an I
Until we all die
Slowly torture
’till extinction

Chorus

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — E add F, C, G#
Am
unknown chord F# B B G#

Made in the USA (Marsh Creek State Park and West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

This song was written after I read a government report that said over 144,000 people a year are dieing from human induced climate change. Then, I went to a favorite songwriting spot… and it was flooded higher than I’d ever seen.

Learn more about global warming.

Brain Damage

Posted on June 5, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
What do you think happened to your brain
To make you behave so strange
Is it in your genes… you’re mean… you strain
Turned into nails on the blackboard… people cringe

Is there hope you can be saved
Before you reach your grave
Is there a chance you’re less enraged
Relief from how you behave?

Chorus

What do you think happened to your heart
When it comes to unconditional love… you forgot
Over time your goodness did depart
Then, you left those you love to rot

Chorus

Grandeur De Jour

Posted on April 9, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Are we really this close
Yet really that far?
Oh, yes, oh, yes… we really are

The emperor’s new clothes
Seeing things bizarre
Oh, yes, oh, yes… they really are
Not

Experiencing the house of mirrors
Exposing your inner terrors
Going major from the minors
Growing de jour toward grandeur

My Favorite Star

Posted on April 9, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
My favorite star
You shine like the sun
Though nearest… yet so far
You are the same and one

We know without you we can’t grow
Though trite… you are The Light
The fusion of your engine… we can only imagine

No matter seed or womb
We start and end in a tomb
While in between
You sprout out “green”
Then, you bloom

Worldly Beebop

Posted on September 8, 2012September 8, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
The crowd… they hear it
Building community spirit
Worldly beebop, beebop, beebop

Catch a buzz
Rise above
Be the beebop

The age of youth
Believes in growth
Caterpillar evolves into butterfly
Why not I?

When I eye I, I see
I can be the beebop
With those rising to the top
Cream of the crop

ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 5
A / D / A / G / A / G / A / G / A

Written and recorded September 7, 2012 at Marsh Creek State Park, Chester County, Pennsylvania. It about the feeling at a music festival, such as, Madsummer Meltdown, Philadelphia Folk Fest and Stir Fry. It is kind-of like a bee colony or bee-bop community.

Don’t Give Up

Posted on August 25, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Transposing letters to numbers
Transposing the numbers into my name
While intelligence slumbers
It’s turned into a mental game

Don’t give up
Half empty or half full is your cup?
Don’t give up

When they try to give you the run-around
You know the answer can be found
No matter the resistance
Win them over with persistence
Don’t give up

Put you on hold ’till you grow mold
Ask you to please, please, please wait
Nooooo… don’t drop the line yet another time
We shall overcome without hate

Don’t give up
Half empty or half full is your cup?
Don’t give up

Don’t Give-up.mp3

ABOUT THIS SONG

Written and recorded on August 23 and 24, 2012 at Marsh Creek State Park and West Chester, Pennsylvania.

It is about trying to get information corrected in a database and having to call a bunch of automated operators. Then, apply the concept to any obstacle in life.

Ozone Poisoning

Posted on August 22, 2012August 22, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
If you can see the sky
Ask: why?

Turn from green to brown
Fall down
Like a cannonball sailed through
Deny it… will you?

Simple reasoning
Points to ozone poisoning

When the conditions are right with sunlight
Volatile ozone ignites
Blasting right through a tree
Blasting right through you and me

Now it’s been sung
Imagine your lung
Without a tree
Where will our oxygen be?

Ozone Poisoning.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 2
Em add A, C#, F#
Em add F#, C#, A

Written and recorded August 21, 2012 at Marsh Creek State Park, Chester County, PA.

The title says it all — ozone poisoning. Ozone poisoning is killing almost every tree, as well as, you and me.

Tropospheric Ozone = Bad Ozone

Gasoline Plus Ethanol Equals Bad Ozone

Lift Off

Posted on August 21, 2012August 22, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
How can we achieve flight
if we hold on too tight
The trick is getting to know
When to let go

When there’s not a human to be found
The world will still be spinning round
When there’s not a sole left in sight
Nature’s there to nurture curve

Don’t be made a fool. Make a sound.
Let those fools all be hellbound
There’s still you and me to set things right
Nature’s there to nurture. We’re sure.

5,4,3,2,1 Ignition suggestion
Lift off!

See Sure

Posted on August 5, 2012August 5, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
They set out for 3 hours
Sort-of short for seaborne tours
They set out for 3 hours
Ended up with a lifetime of horrors
Such is the fate (of Gilligan)
Such is the fate (of Mary Ann)

If I’m stranded on an island with you
Don’t know what I’d do
I’d leave that part up to you
Maybe distill a ‘lil gin
Then
Let the dancing begin
All the while playing our hearts away
Making beautiful music all night and day

Youth be gold. We’d never grow old.
Just for fun
Maybe distill a ‘lil rum
Maintaining a dance continuum

You’re as old as you feel
And, I am
Unconceal the real deal
Live life while you can

Naked. Swinging from trees.
Begging God we please

See Sure (Deserted Desert Island Sea Shanty) .mp3
