LYRICS
There’s a fly in the ointment
Without an appointment
Does anybody anywhere even care
There’s a fly in the ointment
Without an appointment
Is anybody aware

There’s a guy holding office
That’s a public disgrace
Does anybody want to save face
Give a try grasping this
Human rights aren’t hit or miss
Let us create some space

LYRICS
chorus
There’s a movement of the people
You can not deny
Oh, my, my

And, it seems it’s starting to show
Tearing at the seams
As the people get into the know
You know what I mean?

Chorus

You dare not cross the line
Or, they’ll try to crack your spine
If you dare to raise a presence
The weight will crush ’till silence

Civil Unrest in the City of Brotherly Love
Civil Unrest in the City of Brotherly Love

Chorus

Chorus reprise
There’s a movement toward a steeple
When the temple is the people
Try, try, try

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was/is inspired by N.A. Poe of Philadelphia’s TV show the Panic Hour. Though Poe was not allowed on Federal Ground, his presence was the essence.

LYRICS
There was a time when time went tick tock
But, since… they’ve changed the meaning of clock
There was a time when Plymouth was a rock
Now freedom’s hogtied… gagged with a sock

Chorus
Can you really, really break free
And, freely be “me”
Can you wiggle into sanity
And, become totally

There was a time when they heard rhyme
But, since… they’ve changed the meaning of crime
There was a time when Goliath was giant
Now, wonder if you’re God’s client?

LYRICS
Who is afraid of the big, bad wolf
Meandering propaganda comes from his mouth
Who is afraid of the lion pig
With all that lyin’ his own grave he’ll dig

Chorus
You can huff… you can puff… but you can’t blow it down
When they judge the play, who’ll be the clown
You can huff… you can puff… no! You can’t blow it down
When they judge the play, who’ll wear the frown

Once upon a time there were three little bears
Into their den Goldilocks dares
Eating their porridge… sitting in their chairs
Until she’s caught in bed, nobody cares

Chorus

LYRICS
The bigger they come the further they fall
Thinking that they’re above it all

Isn’t it about time for realization
Isn’t it time for a real celebration
Of a civil civil civilization

The meeker they come the further they’ll go
The promised land is coming or don’t you know?

Instead of spines without ration
Following passion’s latest fashion
From the highest peaks to the depths of the ocean

The bigger they come the further they fall
Thinking that they’re above it all
The meeker they come the further they’ll go
The promised land is coming or don’t you know?

LYRICS
You the new world order
Is a suit and a tie
Can you protect the border
Or, is it all a lie?

La, de, da, la, de, da, dum

They say you are what you eat
With the media we’re fed… I guess bullshit?
They say the system can’t be beat
Maybe if we all led a protest fit

Na, na, na, na, na, na

You think the new world order
Is live and let die
Well, it’s the last quarter
Time for us to say goodbye

La, de, da, la, de, da, dum

Daniel Brouse Philadelphia Songwriter
Writing the song Todays over Interstate 95 at South Street and Penns Landing

In the yesterdays
There are ways
To consider them good
But, while there’s todays
Great we would

Great to be free

Of Soulitary confinement
Excellently
Don’t want to reach
Contentment
Don’t want a speech
On resentment

Got all our needs
Need no more than
The birds and bees
Enough of the greed
Filled all our needs
Need no more than
The birds and bees

Am Em
C Em Am
