LYRICS
Here I stand wringing my hands
I didn’t know you were such…
A gambling man
A gambling man
You put your egg in one basket
Tripped n’ fell, now you cracked it
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men
Could never bring gains to your losses again
… no never again
You’re a gambling man
Here I stand with head in hands
What I said, you didn’t understand
… didn’t understand?
Bulls and bears can be on top
But don’ you know pigs get slop?
… pigs get slop
It’s as easy as buy low… and, don’t you know
Try, try, try to sell high
… you’ve gotta sell high
Here I stand wringing my hands
I didn’t know you were such…
A gambling man

LYRICS
First, I heard it
Heard they said it
But I really, really, really didn’t get it

So maybe you can explain to me
Why the big mystery?

Next, I read it
Read they said it
But I really, really, really didn’t get it

Chorus

Then, I saw it
Witnessed all of it
Couldn’t see how someone… anyone… really, really, really couldn’t get it

Chorus

LYRICS
You make my heart race
Tryin’ to keep up to the pace
You make my heart pound
Every time that you come ’round

The scent of the chase
Your frills and your lace
You make the world sound
Every time that you come ’round

The pressure of the skin
The emotion wears thin
A heart has been found
Every time that you come ’round

LYRICS
Put the Bull in the ring
With a human being
A fight to the death is what you’re seeing
And who is left bleeding

The Bull dung bell has rung
In fat, we’re up to our ears
The Bull dung run rang our fears
Running of the Bull
Death of many a fool

Humans like rats in a maze
Never cease to amaze
Pray it’s just a stage
On our way to the Golden Age

LYRICS
Maybe we can live together
Maybe we can live in peace
None of us live forever
Eventually we seize and cease

As long as we’re alive together
Might as well give peace a chance
To ensure a clever endeavor
We’ve gotta join in the dance

Maybe we can end the fighting
Just say “no more” to war
I mean… since our life is fleeting
It’s our legacy that will endure

Chorus

Perhaps we can save the children
From our adult hypocrisy
By remembering how we begin
Created image… will set free

LYRICS
Kind of like Newton inventin’ gravity
But instead of an apple falling from a tree
Praying it’s money falling from the sky
… and I know why

Pennies from heaven
Loose change in the cushion
Then, a penny saved
Will be a penny earned

Kind of like Newton inventin’ friction
Instead of money slipping through fingers
It hangs around… it lingers
Preaching to the choir brimstone and fire

$52,709.99 Plus Tax.mp3

LYRICS
Let me see if I can figure this out…
The Federal debt is $16,699,000,000,000
Divided by 316,809,000 people
That must equal
$52,709 dollars… not to mention the 99 cents

Fifty-two thousand seven hundred and nine dollars
… not to mention the 99 cents

We the people of the United States
State that this ain’t right
Taxes, fees, fines and interest rates
Rate debt out of sight

Fifty-two thousand seven hundred and nine dollars
… not to mention the 99 cents

What shall be our presence
What shall be our essence
Does the essence of our presence make sense?

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Dm6 A
A G E A

This song is about raising the debt ceiling from it’s current limit of $16.699 trillion.  That means every human in the USA owes $52, 709.99 without raising the ceiling.  What will you owe after the limit is raised?

Made in America (West Chester, Chester County, PA, United States of America.)

LYRICS
If you’re craving something really funny
Just look around you
There’s people chasing money
It’s expensive, too

Come to think of it I’ll make that bet
You know exactly where it’s at

As if it were simple as honey
Dripping with dew
It might be real funny
If they only knew

Come to think of it… who need suggest
Deep down inside you know what’s really best

LYRICS
There will be a time
When the Earth and sky fly
And, you’ll be faced with a lake of fire
And, you’ll be wishing you could get higher

On your Judgement Day
What will you say
Will you find a way
To escape the lake of fire

Every dog has it’s day
And, when it comes to be your day
What will you say
On your Judgement Day

Everybody will meet their maker
After all, you met your mom
When you first started living
In her womb
Now you think you don’t have enough room

Your money ain’t no good on the other side

LYRICS
Money
Like flies to honey
It’s the disease bringing people to their knees
It’s the disease bringing people to their knees

I say, “God!” as I fall to my knees, “give me some, please!”
(more money please)
While busker says the word
A gift from a lord
Brings back faith in prosperity

Money
Like flies to honey
It’s the disease bringing people to their knees
It’s the disease crippling people such as these
While the busker plays the chord
A flowerchild pulls her sword,
Blows bubbles… restores faith in humanity

ABOUT THE SONG
Dm / Am
C / Am

Written and recorded on October 17, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. I had been playing the guitar part and just started writing the lyrics when a kind gentleman came over and gave me money. Then, a hippie-chick surprised me with a shower of bubbles. What a day to be thankful.

LYRICS
Lost in a dream,
No intent to demean,
A heart that’s good,
And, souls… that know they should.

The glass is half full,
The ass is all fool,
We don’t suffer gladly.

Really? Really reality.

Feel surreal in this “Twilight Zone”
The blade, sharpen
The senses, hone

Let it happen in heaven
On Earth
Re-birth
Where what it is
Is what you do
The old gets new?

… to be continued
