LYRICS
Hope and love
Are you really that far?
Hope for love
Does it matter where you are?
Have you ever thought
To look within
It’s something
You’ve been carryin’
Now you know what it’s about
Do you care to let it out?
And you could smile
All the while
Loving style

Piece of peace
Are you really that far?
Life’s on lease
Doesn’t matter who you are
Have you ever thought
To look within
It’s something
You’ve been carryin’
Now you know what it’s about
Do you care to let it out?
And you could smile
All the while
Loving style

Clarity on charity
Is coming into view
Having a clue
What shall I do
I’ll start
I’ll begin
By digging in
I’ll live to give
And care to share
I’ll dare to love
And shout it out
I’ll love to smile
All the while
In loving style

LYRICS
Hey you
There’s a wind blowing through
Word is it’s a wind of change
Pass through
Blackened point-of-view
Into the blue
Change
Rearrange
In position
Opposition politician

Go irate to instigate
Boomerangs (with fangs)
To investigate
Illuminate
The innate
Inert (lert-tee-dirt)
Just innate you for lunch
If indigestion is your hunch
Too late
Your fate
Innate
Dirt
Inert

This is the poison we take Yeah  
E  
Outside the velvet rope standing there all alone

Are the grotesque and ashamed Yeah

Well that's a far cry From the truth

E  
I feel so traumatized Doped up and televised  
                      C  
Life can be cruel and insane  
E  
But we've got these ugly scars On our infected hearts  
                       C  
Maybe it's time for a change  
 
     E                                 C  
Well if you think real beauty's on the outside

Well that's a far cry From the truth  
E                         C  
Maybe all the information you received  
                Am                     E  
Well you should not believe There's no proof

ABOUT THE SONG
This coversong was inspired by the rioting in Baltimore, MD. The people rising up against violence with violence seemed too ironic… too hypocritical. So, the rioters posing to be on TV made me think of this song (for they are The Beautiful People.)

LYRICS
We’re in step
To the promised land
In a marching band
A reggae… funky reggae marching band

Pick up a flute or pickup a lute
A mandolin or violin
Pick up whatever you can get into

We’re getting in step
Left right it’s alright
Left right left right
We left left right
Left left for right
We’re getting in step
With a reggae marching band

In step to thee promised land
If you want to joins hands
Hand in hand in step to the promised land
This marching reggae band
This reggae marching band

LYRICS
All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution

Son, had you begun in Ferguson?
Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore

You can’t hate hate unless you partake
You can’t take part with what’s at stake
When you behave all irate… at any rate

There’s a moral lack when you strike back
At others not involved in your attack
Doesn’t matter whether they’re a shade of grey, white or black
It’s just a matter of fact
That ain’t no way to act

Is it any wonder they wanna put you in a cage
The way you behave all in a rage
You’re more likely to engage as a sage
Put a The End to that book… and look to a blank page

All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution

Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore?
No more! No more!

No if, and, or, but

LYRICS
A fight to the finish
In our fragile space capsule
A race to The End of the human race
Living to diminish
Our fragile space capsule
Modern Age rage flailing in disgrace

Happy birthday (Hey, hey, hey)
Dear ole Earthday (Hey, hey, hey)

Right on!
Get positive on negative ions
May the atmosphere of our sphere
Scatter blue your sky
… and make you feel high

Happy birthday (Hey, hey, hey)
Dear ole Earthday (Hey, hey, hey)

Can you see yourself floating in the sea
I confess the weightlessness is bliss
Crave the rave of riding on a wave

Happy birthday (Hey, hey, hey)
Dear ole Earthday (Hey, hey, hey)

Do you know the feeling of a rainbow
Synesthesia like anesthesia from the dread
Flourish and nourish your head

Happy birthday (Hey, hey, hey)
Dear ole Earthday (Hey, hey, hey)
