LYRICS
If you get thrown
And fall on your ass
Just be glad
It’s in your past
Ya gotta get up
Get up and do it again

Poor little Jack
Fell down… broke his crown
Still the fact
It’s in your past
Ya gotta get up
Get up and do it again

Hubris
Fell to Nemesis
Falling humbles
No more grumbles
Ya gotta get up
Get up and do it again

LYRICS
Every day when I think about time
I know I want to make this day mine

Ya know, I want to make it mine
When I get up and start the day
I want to take advantage of all my time
I want to make the day mine
And, when I’m through, I’ll gift it to you

I’m never bored
Or at a loss
For something
Or anything to do
Want to take advantage of all the time
I want to make the day mine
And, when I’m through, I’ll gift it to you
When I’m done
I’ll be the one
There’s nothing better I can do
Then pass the feeling on to you

When I’m through, I’ll gift it to you

I’m so thankful for being given this time
I want to make the day mine

In the way you lay down a groove

LYRICS
The proof is in the pudding
How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?

The proof is in the pudding darling
The pudding is the proof

So, it seems the tailor sows a seam to ward off evil

The proof is in the pudding darling
The pudding is the proof

Poof! Let’s see how it cooks up

So, it seems the tailor sows a seam to ward off evil
Yet, still…
Leave some room for freewill

LYRICS
You can be the eye of a hurricane
You can be the face of a cliff
As long as you’re not an old stiff
By keeping an active brain

You can be the moth of a river
You can be the heart of the matter
By keeping young as a mad hatter
You’ll be the one to deliver

Embody the soul
The sole body

Where one and one and one are one
When one and one and one are one

Just when you think everything’s alright
Something comes up to give you a fright
It’s another sleepless night

Just when you think wrong is long gone

Something comes along and vies you a bite
You better pray your hope in faith is great

LYRICS
Order another drone strike
Maybe this time we’ll get it right

Order another drone attack
No need to worry if our man comes back
Order another drone strike
Maybe this time we’ll get it right
Fulfilling government contracts
Doing dastardly deeds

Let’s order some more murder
Maybe that will be the cure
For all that ails mankind
We’re vicious and unkind
Fulfilling government contracts
Doing dastardly deeds

Let’s foul the drinking water
Not care what happens to order
Let’s kill them with their own feces
Then chant U.S., U.S., U.S.
Fulfilling government contracts
Doing dastardly deeds

“Drone strikes in Pakistan have killed far more people than the United States has acknowledged and traumatized innocent residents.”

Writing the song Oh! Susanna Part 2

LYRICS
It rained all night the day I left
The it was dry
And, we all go marching
Down into the ground
To get out of the rain

When January feels like June
Wake up! Wake up! And, none too soon
And we all go searching
Everywhere all around
To get our of the rain

Oh! Susanna
Won’t you cry for me
Oh! Susanna
All can surely see
Oh! Susanna
It’s a tragedy

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Capo 1
C Am
G Am

Written and recorded on January 12, 2013 in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania as a digital, 4-track stereo, extemporaneous recording. After posting this status on Facebook, the song was written and recorded on the streets: “Hmmm… 60 degrees in January… perfect day to take music to the streets… maybe write a global warming song?”

It started while I was sleeping… I heard a news report about severe weather being the new normal. Then, I started hearing a mix of the Stephen Foster song Oh! Susanna and the children’s version of Johnny Comes Marching Home known as The Ants Go Marching (and a dash if You Are My Sunshine)… kind-of tossing traditional irony with a modern day twist.

From here to there
And, anywhere in between
A gypsy of body… a lover of being

Spirit comes apart
Soul comes together
There’s a certain science or art

And, anywhere in between

Thank you your Grace
For allowing me to embrace

From here to there
And, everywhere in between

Getting together spirits groove
Going to make ’em move
