LYRICS
What do you do with all your day
Do you get to work as if to play
Is being productive seductive
In some sort-of way
When you’re through
Do you love your nighttime, too

What do you do along your way
By any chance do you get to say
“Amazing! Elusive? Inclusive?”
For what do you pray
When dues are due
Will we still be tight, too

Oops! Your cup spilleth over
Hope we start to discover
Not a fighter… more a lover

LYRICS
Firecracker on the 4th of July
Poof! Band! Auld Lang Syne
Is the load of your energy spent
Or, resurrected… from heaven sent (second time lent)

It’s not too late… let’s repent
Soar as high… let’s fly
(Soar on high second time)

Heartbreaker on Valentine’s Day
Poof! Band! Auld Lang Syne
Is the cloud on your picnic wet
Or, hung to dry and live on yet?

Do you find the more they take… less they give

LYRICS
1) Here’s the funny thing
Mom’s half was for the King
Pop’s half said, “Wrath we bring!”

2) Her’s the funny thing
Ya gotta attest with protest
Or, we all fail the (democracy) test
Here’s the funny thing

It’s time we got our freedom back
Don’t blame it on the terror attack
It’s time we got our freedom back
Don’t blame it on the guts that you lack

On my way home to the free n’ the brave
Let’s get our leaders to behave
On my way home to the free n’ the brave
It’s time we stopped being our own slave

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

I like watchin’ the puddles gather rain

    E                    D
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two

    A                         G         E     E7
and speak my point of view but it’s not sane, It’s not sane

E              D              E           D

And I start to complain that there’s no rain

And all I can do is read a book to stay awake

   A                           G           E 
It rips my life away, but it’s a great escape

escape, escape, escape

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

LYRICS
When the doom starts to loom
Go toward the omnipresent light
When storm troopers goon
Got to stick up for what is right

What is “just” must come true
True the alignment is meant

When you feel down on your luck
When you are persecuted
It’s time to give a F&%#!
Risking being executed

What is “just” must come true
True the alignment is meant

Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

Like a new born baby, I could cry and wail
About the plight of the killed killer whale

Like a scene from a nightmare dream, I could scream

LYRICS
I’m not looking for you to spare a dime
I’m not looking for any of your time
I’m just asking you do the asking of you

At the end of it all
Can you stand tall?
Will you stand at all… or will you fall?
Yell! Heaven or hell (Hell no!)

Do you offer shelter from the howling wind
Do you offer refuge? It’s time to begin
Implications are huge… not only for you, but me, too

ABOUT THIS SONG
While I was trying to record video for how to play the guitar part, the wind was blowing. Since I didn’t yet have a title for the song, I called it what I was trying to do — block the wind. Then, a guy came buy and threw me a dime. The lyrics developed from there.

Who is driving the wedge
Between yes and no?

Gonna live by the sword…

Writing a Monsanto Protest Song in West Chester, PA

ABOUT THIS SONG
At one of my usual haunts for writing music, I had begun a songwriting session… when, a group of people started gathering around me. It appeared as though my “office” had become the site of a Monsanto protest.

So, I figured I’d write this song about it; however, I didn’t have a title. As I went to record the a video of the music, an alarm went off. It seemed to fit. Thus, the name of the song.
