Head To Head

Posted on September 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Climb inside my head
It’s an ‘ell of a show
Mind unbind your led
To a place of the know

Mind bending
Non-threatening
Imagine erecting

Mind bending
Non-threatening
Imagine creating

You’ll be admitting
Well worth the price of admission
You’ll be applauding
Well worth the price of rebellion

Fire Alarm

Posted on September 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
If we litter the world
With our missiles and bombs
Bound to set off the fire alarm

Seems to be no reason or rhyme
Why we try to rule time

It’s a fire…
A fire…
A fire alarm

When we trash the world
We build our own tombs
Bound to set off a karmic storm

Live Or Die

Posted on September 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Girl smiles… gives me two thumbs-up
My mind went roamin’ back to the Christians and Romans

Everyone please raise your cup
She gave me two thumbs-up
Elated I get to live
I’ve so much more to give

I’m not lying
For a moment I feared —
Food for the lion

Despite trying
Fear that they would jeer
End up dying

But, she smiled and gave me two thumbs-up
So, everyone please raise your cup
A toast to being alive
The most of being above
Every day above ground
There’s joy to be found

Time Will Tell

Posted on September 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Hope the youth are doing well
Are the rest damned to hell?
Only time will tell

We poison their well
With products we sell
Bring on a thick sick spell

Chorus

Discontent we quell
With cracked liberty bell
Until freedom fell

No Fearing God Zone

Posted on September 2, 2013September 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Food for thought
Fear not
Fear not
Fear not God

Fear not
Fear not
Romans wrought
Smear a lot

All love
All love
Nothing odd
With loving God

Fear not
Fear not
Fear not God

She’s a beautiful sensation
Sure beatin’ damnation
A hell of a gal
She’s a beautiful sensation
Sure beatin’ damnation
Bring well to us all

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Capo 5
Em
C Am Em
Em G

This song was inspired by a woman holding a sign in downtown West Chester. One side of the sign said, “Sin is death. Christ is life. Romans 6:23”

However, her quote is taken out of context. The Bible actually reads:

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

On the other side of the sign, it read “Fear God”.

Dreamster

LYRICS
Start slow… as you go
Grow momentum
Take a little
And, give back some
You know… as you grow
You won’t be the second fiddle

Be a dreamster
Rock star of love

Um… so….
What party you can throw
Stray from middle
The seeds you’ll sow
To and fro toward hero
For second best don’t settle

Be a dreamster
Rock star of love

Resisting Arrest

Posted on September 1, 2013September 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
How can you attest
That’s resisting arrest?
All she was doing
Was a peaceful protest

Then, you come down on her
Like a Gestapo mob
Take away freedom
And, her liberty rob

That’s what I cal
Shitty authority
You know it when
It stinks to high heaven
You take from all
Sucking royally
As if the creator dictator

At any rate
Create
Dictate
Gangster mobster police state

See Ya In Syria?

Child Casualties Caused by Syria Gas Attack

LYRICS
Aghast! Shame shelling with a gas
Kill all children by chemical

Guess I won’t see ya
In Syria
Seriously a tragedy in Syria

Seems there’s no regime
Any less mean
World watches in error
The reign of terror

Guess I won’t see ya
In Syria
Seriously a tragedy in Syria

Bombarding babies like Barbarians
Severity to civility… no humanitarians

Guess I won’t see ya
In Syria
Seriously a tragedy in Syria

A, B, C, D… it’s killing me
Baa, baa black creep… cause to weep
Twinkle, twinkle little star… hopes dashed… helps so far

Change Is Needed

Posted on August 28, 2013September 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Though he probably needs it more than me
He decided to give and be
Though he probably needs it more than me
He decided to give and set us free

Change is needed
Change is needed

Take a look around. You can’t help but see
Starvation and poverty
Take a look around. You can’t help but see
People suffering in misery

Change is needed
Change is needed

Your charity is appreciated
Helping others get liberated
Your charity is appreciated
A helping hand is underrated

Change is needed
Change is needed

Pig let

Posted on August 27, 2013September 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Does anybody care that it isn’t fair
Sometimes somebody’s gotta say
It really shouldn’t be this way

The police lying about their crimes
While they are trying to silence mimes
It really shouldn’t be this way

So you want to start over
Do it all over again
Push reset without regret
It really shouldn’t be this way

So, It really shouldn’t be this way
We hoped to never see this day
When people enjoy causing dismay
It really shouldn’t be this way

Emergency Eject

Posted on August 27, 2013September 4, 2013 by admin

Songwriting in the Park, Chester County, Pennsylvania

LYRICS
What did you expect
Emergency eject?

It keeps on coming
You know it keeps on coming

Why do they reject
The real suspect?

It keeps on coming
You know it keeps on coming

Humankind’s neglect
Of the object

It keeps on coming
You know it keeps on coming

If you fall, just call
If you stumble, tumble or fumble the ball
Anything at all

LYRICS
Sometimes all you need is some good notes
When words fail, music sparks
Keep strumming 88

Let’s go
Into the flow

And, a picture tells a thousand words
Making sense of all the absurds

Sometimes all you need are some good notes
Hark! Music spark… let’s sail
Strumming, humming… it’s not too late

Let’s go
Into the flow

HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR PART

Keep On Going

Posted on August 26, 2013 by admin

You say you want another tie-dye day
Don’t want the feeling to ever go away

I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing

Now I’m working on something to say
Something to move us… change our way

I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing

I believe the day is today
That the false opinion can sway

I want to keep on giving
Sense I’m on the path to loving
I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — A A7
G A

While sitting in a field playing the guitar on the last day of the Stir Fry Music Festival, a fellow sitting next to me said, “I want to keep on going.”
