LYRICS
I’m afraid if we leave it to you
What will ensue
I’m afraid of leaving it up to you
It’s time all of us try to pull through
It’s time to do what we gotta do
It’s time we all pull through
Don’t wanna reach the end of our rope
Too many acting like a dope
Find us a different way to cope
‘fore we slide down this slippery slope

LYRICS
Jesus!
Oh, my God
(ooops)
Oh, oh… how odd
To claim you as my God. My God!
We won’t be one ’till I’m done?
Guess it won’t be ’till I’m dead
That being said
Hope I haven’t made my bed
Gotta lie in it
Gotta die in it
Forgive me Lord
For I have sinned
Sinned again, again, again
What’s been has been
Has been
Now I’d love to start again
Love love to start again
Love Love to start again
(increase tempo)

LYRICS
May your light shine bright
Feeling alright!
May your light shine bright
So you feel alright
Into the night
May your sky be litter with stars
Bringing light from afar
Alright, may your light shine bright
Alright! May your light shine bright
And, your night…
Sky…
Keep you high
Night sky
Lit with light from afar
Bringing you light from afar
Littered with stars with light from afar
Sometimes in the night
The moon will redirect the light
And, it can shine, shine, shine
Make ya feel fine
Standing in the moonlight
Moonlight
I’m…
Gettin’ a moontan
Gettin’ a moontan on
May your light shine bright
Feeling alright
Get your moontan on
Feeling alright
May your light shine bright
Feeling all right, alright?
Get your moontan on
The sky at night
Littered with stars
Bringing you light from afar
Light bright, alright!

LYRICS
The sky is blue
And, the sea is, too
When you pull back your point-of-view
For the heavenly view
They say it looks like a marble of blue
Marble of blue
View of you
Marble of blue
Marble of blue
Looking like I’m one with you
Marble of blue
From their view
I’m one with you
While I’m here, I hope I can do all I can do
(ripple on the water interlude)
Taking in a heavenly view
Marble of blue
They say you’re looking like a marble of blue
Marble of blue
Just hurling through space with the human race
Will they be your flea?
Or, will they set the marble free?
Not looking long ’till we will see
(ripple on the water interlude part 2)

Awwwww
Chop, chop
Ughhhh
We will kill the old red rooster
Sure to be a morale booster
Chicken running with it’s head cut off
Makin’ me sick gonna gag and cough
Gotta love that chicken and dumplings
Isn’t superiority something?
We’ll be barreling down the mountain when we come
Runaway train loaded with the dumb
We’ll be barreling down the mountain
Spewing feces like a fountain
We’ll be barreling down the mountain
Here come the dumb

A Lyrical Interview about The Interview
Sony’s so knee-jerk reaction
No Constitution satisfaction
Chorus
It’s plain to see
Satirical comedy
It’s plain to see
This ain’t reality
Sony’s so knee-jerk reaction
No substitution for affirmative action
No satisfaction from retraction
No liberation without artist expression

LYRICS
Pop polka dot
Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
It’s tiny
Itsy bitsy
Pop polka dot
Not
You’ve gotta dot your i’s and cross your t’s
Especially
If you’re at the bottom of the bin
Again and again and again
Pop polka dot
Especially
If you’re varmint kin
Again and again and again
It’s tiny
It might seem miniscule
to you all
but to us
it’s worth puttin’ up the fuss
Yeah, put up the fuss
Pop polka dot
It’s the Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
I ask why
You say why not
The dream is not?
Why not…
You might as well be drooling in snot
That’s why not
And, then just when you think you can do it again
You find out not
You’re just a pop polka dot
Not
Dot

LYRICS
Do you grasp the price we’ll pay
Continuing to carry on this way
Reeking and reaping our dismay
Deaf to what the Lord does say
At our fingertips lay
The script for the Passion Play
Does your wrath clog your sight
Lighten up. It’ll get bright
Join in the festival of lights
Eight days and eight nights
Perhaps on this day
We’ll hear God pray
Repeat First Verse

LYRICS
Is it any wonder that wisdom is wise
Just opened my eyes to realize
There’s no surprise
Wisdom is wise
Not a faker
Wiseacre
A wise acre
43560 square feet
Presented as an enlightenment feat
Be the kind to fertilize your mind
Let your imagination go
And, the seeds of genius grow
The roots of your soul
Flow from your furrow
Plant the seeds for tomorrow
A wise acre goal

LYRICS
Riding and flying on the back of Pegasus
A winged divine stallion is going to save us
It’s time for the back-up plan
To start kickin’-in
It’s time the hue of human
Starts givin’ in / believin’ in / glowin’ agin’
Sired by Poseidon… foaled by Medusa
Divine as God’s son, Muhammad, Buddah
Chorus
Maybe a unicorn will save us with it’s horn
Or, a leprechaun will save us all from harm

LYRICS
Junglized
Realized I’ve been junglized
When I first realized I was junglized
I was surprised
Instead of seeing through rose (colored) glasses
I realized we were just making ourselves into asses
We were looking through jungle eyes
We’ve lost clarity of humanity
Junglized
Jungle eyes
Have you realized
We’ve been junglized
Looking at the world through jungle eyes

LYRICS
Ohh, I thought I heard her say
She wants Santa to come this way
Ohh glorious us
Bless Christmas Day
Ohh, she’s God’s gift to the world
She’s what makes the pearly gates pearled
You’ll be answered if you pray
Bless Christmas Day
Ohh, she’s got God’s good grace
Angel written all over her face
Hallelujah, ya!
The Lord formed man as of clay
Bless Christmas Day

LYRICS
The funny thing
He never called himself king
The Prince Of Peace
To say the least
I’m going to Bethlehem
I am
I’m going to Bethlehem
To behold him
Hey, hey, hey, ya!
In Judea
Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee
So, the angels could sing and dance merrily
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly
Appearing with the angels, praising God and singing,
Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth may peace never cease

LYRICS
What are the people doing
Does it have you stewing
A body without a head
As the headless tread
Chorus
Hey, ostrich
Get my head out of the sand
Not a stretch
To understand
An anthropology apology
For not being too smart
From the bottom of a heartless heart
What are the people doing
Does it have you brooding
A body without a brain
Flushing civilization down the drain
Chorus
What are the people doing
Does it have you crying
A body without a heart
Tearing the whole world apart

LYRICS
Can I attest I protest your protest
Because your protest is lame
Have you gone insane?
This protest is lame
Even if it’s just me that thinks they can see
That this protest needs protesting
And, in and of itself this is interesting
There still needs to be more… more protesting
More sanity, clarity in what it is we want to be
What it is we want to be
It’s time I’m
Going to protest this protest
(Unless we can get it together)
If we don’t stand up and protest this lame protest
We’ll only become less and less… and less and less
Unless we protest this protest
Unless we rise
Unless we realize
Rise
We’ve got to protest this protest
Test the protest
Unless we become less and less
It’s not so much a matter of whether…
We need not confess
It’s much more a matter of whether we become less and less
Unless we protest this protest
Or, become less and less
Here comes the interesting part
… it’s all about you
Do, de, do, de, do-do
