Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Say human
Just for fun
Hey human
Can you just have one
Say human
(A humane humanity?)
Can you just have one potato chip
Without the entire bowl of dip
Can you be a little for a little bit
Without being tragically hip?

Say human
Just for fun
Hey human
Can you just have one
Say human
(A humane humanity?)
Can you just have one automobile
Without it being a really big deal
Can you be a little less and still be real
Remember to touch… remember to feel?

Say human
Just for fun
Hey human
Can you just have one
Say human
(A humane humanity?)
Can you just have one residence
Can you be a little more resilient
Without harboring resentment?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Fair is fair
Is there’s any there
In despair
Anybody care?
The attitude
Of our fortitude
Will be our driving force
An interlude
In our magnitude
Off of our winding course

Fair is fair
Is there’s any there
In despair
Anybody care?
The amplitude
Of our gratitude
How high our spirits fly
Our servitude
Be it platitude
Will we live… will we die

Fair is fair
Is there’s any there
In despair
Anybody care?
Our habitude
Wasting platitude
May lead to our demise
Our multitude
Will be barbecued
If we don’t realize

bookmark_borderAt the End

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you see light at the end
Can we tunnel through
Will laws of physics bend
We can always make do
The fixin’ of fascism
The divisions of the prism
Colors true
The beating of the rhythm
The uniting of the schism
True-blue

Can we do right… make amends
Or we pummel through
The meaning the message sends
Do the best we can do
The fixin’ of fascism
The divisions of the prism
Colors true
The beating of the rhythm
The uniting of the schism
True-blue

If only all could be friends
You know we’d pull through
Who wants to bring on The End
Wait till my time is due
The fixin’ of fascism
The divisions of the prism
Colors true
The beating of the rhythm
The uniting of the schism
True-blue

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Now comes down to how
Bad we want it
Thrill to the last kill
Sad we’ve done it
Tell me how bad we want it
Do we have far to go
Tell me how long to get it
Does our behavior show
Oh, no

Now comes down to how
Bad we want it
Lost battles, more war
Guess we won it?
Tell me how bad we want it
Do we have far to go
Tell me how long to get it
Will our behavior slow
Oh, woe / woah

Now comes down to how
Bad we want it
Glad for what we’ve had
Hope we save it
Tell me how bad we want it
Do we have far to go
Tell me how long to get it
Can we still grow to know
Hope so

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Let’s all see what we can do
How ’bout it?
I’m all in… how about you?
How ’bout it?
If Man’s the plan
How will we get through
With Man’s command
How will we make do?

Be the best we can be
How ’bout it?
Share the love while it’s free
How ’bout it?
If the plan’s Man
How will we get through
With Man’s command
How will we make do?

Stand the test of our time
How ’bout it?
Be the brightest to shine
How ’bout it?
If Man’s the plan
How will we get through
With Man’s command
How will we make do?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Sitting on the edge of the world
Spinning round
Watching modern civilization
Falling down
Before their time
What a crime
Are you cryin’
I know I’m….

Sitting on the verge of deep space
Spinning round
Watching the human race
Coming down
Before their time
What a crime
Are you cryin’
I know I’m….

Shout out about the situation
Going round
Watching the population
Winding down
Before their time
What a crime
Are you cryin’
I know I’m….

bookmark_borderOutside

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Well outside of in the machine
I can’t help but living the dream
Living the dream
What do you deem?
Does your though run hot
Does the cold grab hold
After the “what not”
Did we just grow old

How far outside the lines to draw
Think outside of the box at all?
Living the dream
What do you deem?
Does your though run hot
Does the cold grab hold
After the “what not”
Did we just grow old

We’ll run outside of the rat race
Flight at a speed of light pace
Living the dream
What do you deem?
Does your though run hot
Does the cold grab hold
After the “what not”
Did we just grow old

bookmark_borderEasy

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Who said nothing’s easy
Did they ever try to be
Everything is easy
If you’re living to be free
Hard knock schools
Freedom rules

Who said living’s easy
Must have been in ecstasy
When the living’s easy
On the high road naturally
Hard rock blues
Freedom rules

Are you living easy
Or is easy uneasy
If you were to ask me
Have you questioned destiny
Self-doubt fools
Freedom rules

bookmark_borderTigers Holler

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The story that I bought was flimsy
Didn’t come with a warranty
The verdict that they wrought “not guilty”
Doesn’t come with a guarantee
You can bet your bottom dollar
Grab her toe and tigers holler

Facts and truth are bought and sold
That story’s growing old
Can’t believe half of what you’re told
Reality’s harsh and cold
You can bet your bottom dollar
Grab her toe and tigers holler

Are your gods of happiness stingy
A smile we seldom see
If your outlook’s looking dingy
Clear to where you want to be
You can bet your bottom dollar
Grab her toe and tigers holler

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Catch a tiger and let her know
If you holler, let her go
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe

You can bet your bottom dollar
Grab her toe and tigers holler

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
There’s something I’m really dying to know
If you don’t go down fighting
Do you go down slow
Do you slowly fade away
Wade in the river Styx
Unconscious of day-to-day (today)
While stuck betwixt

There’s something I’m really dying to know
If you go down fighting
Do you go down low
Do you slowly fade away
Wade in the river Styx
Unconscious of day-to-day (today)
While stuck betwixt

There’s something I’m really dying to know
If you give up enlightening
Will you lose your glow
Do you slowly fade away
Wade in the river Styx
Unconscious of day-to-day (today)
While stuck betwixt

LYRICS
Though it’s not that complicated
Thought my brain was overrated
I’ll get it
I got it
The unsolved puzzle
Acts as a muzzle
A mystery riddle
Stuck in the middle
What? But what?

Though it’s not that difficult
Should just figure but can not
I’ll get it
I got it
The unsolved puzzle
Acts as a muzzle
A mystery riddle
Stuck in the middle
When? Then when?

Though it should be easy
I can still not really see
I’ll get it
I got it
The unsolved puzzle
Acts as a muzzle
A mystery riddle
Stuck in the middle
Where? Where… there?

LYRICS
Breezes blowing
The streams flowing
Knowing growing
Sing!
Walk to the ledge
Look over the edge
And pledge
(Know how far to go)

Waters streaming
Is our meaning
Knowing growing
Sing!
Walk to the ledge
Look over the edge
And pledge
(Know how far to go)

Crossroads forking
Future’s lurking
Growing knowing
Sing!
Walk to the ledge
Look over the edge
And pledge
(Know how far to go)

LYRICS
Am I awake
I can’t tell if I’m dreaming
See what’s at stake
My eyes see it streaming
If at first you do not succeed
Try not to cry and try not to bleed
If you try and try again
You’ll know where to start to begin

Be the earthquake
Certain to move the mountain
What’s your give/take
Be the drain or fountain?
If at first you do not succeed
Try not to cry and try not to bleed
If you try and try again
You’ll know where to start to begin

To understand
The divine or the damned
Mental command
Compassion and lending hand
If at first you do not succeed
Try not to cry and try not to bleed
If you try and try again
You’ll know where to start to begin

LYRICS
It looks as though I must admit
There’s not a dry eye, not a bit
After stall
there’s heart after all
Let your love show
Let the world know
Let if flow
Let it go!
Let your love light shine
While you still have time
Let your love light shine
And I’ll shine you mine

It looks as though I must concede
Kind souls helping those in need
After stall
there’s heart after all
Let your love show
Let the world know
Let if flow
Let it go!
Let your love light shine
While you still have time
Let your love light shine
And I’ll shine you mine

It looks as though we should proceed
Both mild and meek will take the lead
After stall
there’s heart after all
Let your love show
Let the world know
Let if flow
Let it go!
Let your love light shine
While you still have time
Let your love light shine
And I’ll shine you mine
