LYRICS
Do you hear war drums
Cat n’ dog at it again?
Flash of firing guns
Let the war games begin!
Once cannonballs are flying
Youth rising are dying
Time we end the debate
Over hate
(No debate. End the hate.)
The left and the right
In the middle between their fight
Brings out the fright
They may never see the light
Dropping like flies
Got our rights in their sights
Everyone dies
They say,
“Live to fight another day”

LYRICS
Can you feel it, too
We know what to do
Can you feel the temperature dropping
Look outside! The snow is falling
Stop on by we’ll take it higher
Let time transpire by the fire
Can you feel the mistletoe calling
Get your present and stocking stuffing
Give the dog a Christmas bone
Then, we can be all alone

LYRICS
Gather round enjoy the sound
Hope and joy and cheer are found
All around
Holiday bound
Fill your cup and drink it up
Make the most… propose a toast
All “a round”
Holiday bound
They say this is the day
Earth was given the birth
Make the most of a heavenly host
Propose a toast
Refreshment in merriment
Feel love come in from above
Spirit moving near it
Can you hear it?
Cheer it!

They say this is the day
Earth was given the birth
Make the most of a heavenly host
Propose a toast

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Too bad… mad
In every sense
Or lack there of
Membrane dense
Heart without love
Mad… angry
I can see
Mad… crazy
Sad to see
Insane in the membrane
Just hate does remain?
Where to begin?
“Don’t let them in!”
Another hypocritical sin
Jesus! You claim religion
And, dig your heels in
You claim, “America first!”
Yet, native blood you thirst
Just another rampant tangent
Bible thumper stumped
Gone mad… sad.

LYRICS
Losing all respect for the country folk
Living in sin… part of a bad joke
Redneck hate hoping we’ll choke
Oh, Lord, help them see
They need religion more than me
Oh, Lord, show them light
’cause racist bigotry just ain’t right

High hypocrisy the least of the crime
With that laundry list they should be doing time
Redneck hate dissipates too late
Oh, Lord, help them see
They need religion more than me
Oh, Lord, show them light
’cause this ignorance bliss just ain’t right

Every time they shout “U.S.A.”
Someone should show them the way
Redneck hate dissipates too late
(chorus 1)

Losing all respect for the country folk
It’s a sin the fun that they poke
Redneck hate hoping we’ll choke
(chorus 2)

LYRICS
It’s getting cold
Seasons unfold
That time of year
Solstice draws near
The nip in the air
Takes memories there
With presents under the tree
We’re singing merrily
How blessed are we
All Men

Fresh snowfall scent
More memories lent
Sound of a bell
Wishing all well
The nip in the air
Our memories share
With presents under the tree
We’re singing merrily
How blessed are we
All Men

LYRICS
This is it, believe it or not
They say, “you get what you pay…
For.”
though sometimes it’s more —
How much you can endure
This is it. Quit if a bore
Transit to alure
And ensure
“What’s in store”?
Then the admission:
“Well worth the price of admission!”
In excess of a 3-ring-circus
The fairway’s way
Get to know the sideshow
Going down slow….

LYRICS
Knowing I love you
Knowing you love me, too
Gets us through the things we have to do
I love you

Know what I mean
Got to cook and clean
When the spaces in between
Are seen

To fill the spoon and fork
Got to do all kinds of work
Almost more then one can take
… but when we get a break….

LYRICS
Zombie apocalypse*

*No 3-D glasses required
(You’re soaking in it)
You and me —
Hairless apes with lips
As time transpired
Became full of shhh… hit!
Prerequisite
Required
Dialed
Dire
A respite from dimwit
Suffer fools gladly?
Sadly, I had to quit
As they claim to own “alone”

LYRICS
I really don’t want you
To think and misconstrue
What I say or do
But it’s really hard to get through
No matter what I say or do

Askew in point-of-view
How to bring you to?
What’s to say or do
’cause it’s really hard to get through
No matter what I say or do

Try to shine the light
Try with all my might
Insight is up to you
’cause it’s really hard to get through
No matter what I say or do

LYRICS
Oh won’t you please
Send in the cavalry
Peace dove release
White hat civility
(Have we) Lost our grasp on reality
Really?
Yippie yi yay
Yippie i owe
Underway
Line to tow

How about a knight
In shinning armor
Shield us from fright
The mob rule clamor
(chorus)

What we need is a cowboy
To save our scalps from savages
From the modern man city-boy
And the resources he ravages
(chorus)

LYRICS
In this day and age
I can only understand
Body language
The demand
On verbiage
Is out of hand
The strain on the brain
Meaning’s down the drain
Don’t need to be a sage
To understand
Body language
Compile a smile
With a twinkle in the I
Eye spy
Body language

LYRICS
So far
It just gets more bizarre
You’re not kidding
The proof is in the pudding
A fact’s a fact
And that’s that
Once it’s gone
Can’t get it back
The fool lost his cool
Misplaced his mental tool
Now, it’s starting to dawn
Everybody keep your calm
The longer you grow old
The less thought is bold
