Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do your colors run
Static come undone
Dirty laundry
Hanging from the line
Proper airing
Will do it every time

Does your WARdrobe smell
Getting hard to tell?
Maybe just as well
If you say farewell
Dirty laundry
Hanging from the line
Proper airing
Will do it every time

Have you come to think
Maybe your feet stink
Afraid you might shrink
Bottom of a sink
Better pour a drink
Give a nod and wink
Dirty laundry
Hanging from the line
Proper airing
Will do it every time

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How far
How far
How far to push bizarre
Go to your closest city and see
Insanity
Coming to a town near you
The human zoo
So God bless the witness
Save us from this bliss
Unless we’ve experience
Death by ignorance

How far
How far
How far to push bizarre
Out of your closet and be
All you can be
Coming into view real soon
The full moon loon
So God bless the witness
Save us from this bliss
Unless we’ve experience
Death by ignorance

How far
How far
How far to push bizarre
Know all your closest intricacies
Let’s see
Coming to mind how to be kind
Loves not hard to find
So God bless the witness
Save us from this bliss
Unless we’ve experience
Death by ignorance

LYRICS
Time
Time sneaking up on me
Time
Passing right by me
Time… and time again
As she flies right by
I’m reminded of who I am
What right to blue sky
Am I god-given?

Time
Just out of my grasp
Time
How much left, I ask?
Time… and time again
As she flies right by
I’m reminded of who I am
What right to blue sky
Am I god-given?

Time
The reason why I’m….
Time
The reason why I’m….
Am… I think… I thought
Up until the day I rot
… till I rot

Time… and time again
As she flies right by
I’m reminded of who I am
What right to blue sky
Am I god-given?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Regarding sting
You must be kidding?
You have misspoke
It’s no joke
The power’s in the people
We know it’s always been
If you want an angel
Search from within
Kick out the demons
Who say amen
Kick out the demons
Sing amen
Amen

About our straits
Better get it straight
You are mistaken
Once again
The power’s in the people
we know it’s always been
If you want an angel
Search from within
Kick out the demons
Who say amen
Kick out the demons
Sing amen
Amen

Your suggestion
On suffering
Is plain to see
Lacking empathy
The power’s in the people
we know it’s always been
If you want an angel
Search from within
Kick out the demons
Who say amen
Kick out the demons
Sing amen
Amen

LYRICS
Careful of the hand you chew
Mindful if it’s feeding you
Take a bite
Start a fight
Going hungry tonight

Careful of the hand you chew
Mindful if it’s feeding you
Take a bite
Cause the flight
Going hungry tonight

Careful of the hand you chew
Mindful if it’s feeding you
Growl n’ bite
Show your might
Going hungry tonight

Careful of the hand you chew
Mindful if it’s feeding you
Bark or bite
Just ain’t right
Going hungry tonight

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Let’s run it up the flagpole
See if anyone salutes
Run it up the flagpole
See if anyone refutes
Absolutes
1+1=2
This we know is true
Shortest wavelength — why the sky is blue
Who knew?

Let’s run it up the flagpole
See if anyone salutes
Run it up the flagpole
See if anyone refutes
Absolutes
2+2=4
This we know for sure
When the soul’s sick
Music is the cure
Play more!

Let’s run it up the flagpole
See if anyone salutes
Run it up the flagpole
See if anyone refutes
Absolutes
4+4=8
Say it’s not too late
Push back the date
Re-arrange our fate
Is resolute an absolute?
Let’s run it up the flagpole
See if anyone salutes
Run it up the flagpole
See if anyone refutes
Absolutes

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Is comatose
The most
You can boast?
Courage made of milk-toast
Or standup to the Man
Foot off the gas… let ‘er coast
Or demand to command

Is verbose verse
As close
To almost
Courage made of milk-toast
Or standup to the Man
Foot off the gas… let ‘er coast
Or demand to command

Is overdose
Morose
The endmost
Courage made of milk-toast
Or standup to the Man
Foot off the gas… let ‘er coast
Or demand to command

To be utmost
As host
Our milepost
Courage made of milk-toast
Or standup to the Man
Foot off the gas… let ‘er coast
Or demand to command

bookmark_borderWhat Doesn’t Kill Us

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
After all that we’ve been through
It’s the least I can do
If pointing out to you
Will change your point of view
If it will get through
The things that we both do
Are going to kill you
And, me too
What doesn’t kill us
Will make us stronger
Learn the calculus
Of how much longer
Observe
Under the curve

After all that we’ve been through
It’s the least I can do
If upon reflection
It will alter your perception
Introspection
Since we all participate
The actions that we take
Are/our make or break
What doesn’t kill us
Will make us stronger
Learn the calculus
Of how much longer
Observe
Under the curve

Don’t give up now
You’re living
Let’s live up now

We’ll come upon
A way to move on
Then find our way

Let’s live up now

Figure out how
We’re thinking
We’ll come upon

We’ll come upon
A way to move on
Then find our way
Back to play

LYRICS
The God of War
And just how far
The art of war
Are
The battlefield
Refuses to yield
Her shield
The message she’ll send
Warriors lose in the end
The End

Did the start of your heart
Ever take part
Your ego and id did
Did you know in your mind
The thought to be kind
Is insight hard to find
“Remind”
The battlefield
Refuses to yield
Her shield
The message she’ll send
Warriors die in the end
The End

LYRICS
Is that shocking news?
How can you say
You never knew
Acting the way
You had no clue
Is that shocking news?
Bringing on the blues
How can you say
You never knew
Acting the way
You had no clue
Is that shocking news?
The wishes you choose
Are they win or lose?
How can you say
You never knew
Acting the way
You had no clue
Hear the disgruntled mumbles
“The way the cookie crumbles”
Are you of the ilk
Cryin’ over spilt milk
Having built a house
Of never forget regret
How can you say
You never knew
Acting the way
You had no clue
(You do)
Is that shocking news?
Careful with the wish you choose

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
An unimaginable heat wave
Coming to our age
Say it’s all the rage
Hear the critics rave
“It’s hot — heat wave!”
(It’s to die for… and so much more)
Heat wave

Man will bake his cake of earth
Curse the land of his birth
No way to behave
Heat wave… wave… bye-bye… don’t cry

Man demands it’s a must
We will all return to dust
Man commands The End of Days
Damn demand won’t change ways

Riff: e d b d b a g e e
Chords: Em / B G
Instrumentation: Vocals, Electric Guitar, Keyboards (Yamaha PSR740, Korg PS60, MicroKorg)

This song was inspired by the world’s largest life saving agencies (U.N. humanitarian aid agency OCHA and the International Federation of Red Cross) saying neither they nor humans can adapt to climate change in time. The lifeguards cannot save you — Extreme Heat: Uninhabitable Within Decades. “We don’t want to dramatize it, but clearly the data shows that it does lead towards a very bleak future,” said IFRC secretary-general Jagan Chapagain.

LYRICS
Look around
Look what’s found
Build it up
Tear it down
Sand castle crasher
Roll out with the tide
Man-made basher
Too much pride to hide

Look around
Car of clowns
Buckle up
Hold it down
Sand castle crasher
Roll out with the tide
Man-made basher
Too much pride to hide

Look around
Shock abounds
Hey! What’s up?
Going down
Sand castle crasher
Roll out with the tide
Man-made basher
Too much pride to hide

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Does anyone anywhere know
How far to go?
Does everyone everywhere go
Too far to know?
May I suggest
The answers to your riddle
Is in the middle
Of your chest
… about the rest….

Does anyone anywhere care
Where we should start?
Is everyone everywhere aware
Start with “at heart”?
May I suggest
The answers to your riddle
Is in the middle
Of your chest
… about the rest….

Does anyone anywhere part
From the above?
To give a part of your heart
And share the love?
May I suggest
The answers to your riddle
Is in the middle
Of your chest
… about the rest….

LYRICS
I never had to be told
“Don’t touch the fire!”
As I started growing old
Realize situation’s dire
Sound alarms higher
Can anyone hear here?
Evidence is clear
Too early to expire

I never had to be told
“The love of life admire”
As my life unfolds
Realize situation’s dire
Sound alarms higher
Can anyone hear here?
Evidence is clear
Too early to expire

I never had to be told
“Don’t be a liar!”
Please don’t think me bold
Insisting situation’s dire
Sound alarms higher
Can anyone hear here?
Evidence is clear
Too early to expire
