LYRICS
Solidified as I
Like a cackle of geese or a lump of grease
… a grease lump
Let’s up the bump
If you think it’s time to unseat the seat
Then it’s time to turn up (turn up) the heat
Let the lump melt
The cards be dealt
May the shimmering certainty provide the slide
For the ride
Heart felt
Grease lump melt
Comic karmatic dump
Grease lump

LYRICS
If ya gonna get in line
‘n server your time to the state
Better realize it’s time to open your eyes
As you’re the God of your fate
Imagine your baby more than obese
And on your life she has lease (she has a leash)
The brother is smothered n’ just might cease
Right at the time most crucial for peace
How are we gonna stop her
How can we make Her stop
How are we gonna stop her
How can we make Her not?
If ya gonna dine on a ’69
Better maker sure you’re on top
Underneath there’ll be no, “Breath!”
Your heart… it just might stop
I’m talkin’ to you
We ain’t talking voodoo
(Gasp)
… with my last dying breath —
“You’ve loved me to death.”

LYRICS
You can hardly get by
If you hardly try
Can’t just cook a quick biscuit
Gonna have to bake for the Earth to shake
Dead if you don’t
Prolong pain for those that remain
So with disdain
A new refrain:
You’ll be dead if you don’t
You’ll ‘ve wished ya’d won’t
You’ll be dead if you don’t
From thence can’t shant
Never dread the head
Instead, alter the point-of-view
Never dread the head
Instead, change the view of you

LYRICS
Oh thank God for the night
Stand in front of a mic
And “hears” the thing
… get to sing
About the might in what’s right
(Interlude)
Let there be love
Let there be light
From above…
Let it bite!
(Interlude)
Oh thank God for this night
As I stand in front of the mic
Conveying by saying
Praising with singing
“Alright! Let it bite!”

LYRICS
Nailed it on the head
Every time I get duped
My head’s outta’da loop
Perplexed betwixt the ears
Scream deafening “Oh, Dear’s!”
Logic smothered by our fears
My truth is what I’m fed
Research and facts I dread
Be better off when I’m dead…
When I’m nailed in the head
(Hey? Which end of this thing do I point?
Ohhh… is that your point?
Does it have a safety from me?)

LYRICS
Has the fool been fooled again?
Guess that’s how a fool will begin
Prime game for a manipulative tool
At any rate,
Please investigate before you regurgitate
Some rant from some irate
Stoop to be dupe
If you read:
“Health Department Confirmed Semen Found on McDonald’s Mayonnaise”
Come out of your haze
Think ’till your eyes bleed
You know it’s not true
Stoop to be dupe

ABOUT THE SONG
Based on a bogus FaceBook post. A quote from the article, “I’m not gonna lie,” McDowell said. “On Birthdays and holidays I give my man a little something extra in the bedroom, you know? So when I licked the mayo off of the bun, the texture was familiar.”
Come on people! If something seems too whacky to be true, don’t spread the rumor. Find out the facts. Bust the myth!

LYRICS
Son,
There’s more to the tale
I’d like you to know
You are a GMO [ever since your mother and I decided to experiment with mixing our genes]
And, there’s no such thing as a chemtrail
I hate to shatter your illusion
But, I’ve come to the conclusion
Putting reality to the test is best
What humans produced induced climate change
It was the parents… it was my fault
Not Big Business nor the Government
Chorus
Make it so compassion doesn’t feel strange
Not set the standard low by default
(Let love out of the vault)
Time we do what we meant

LYRICS
In the thick of their twisted tricks
Perplexed reflex
Betwixt a rock and a hard place
We place the human race
Betwixt a rock and a hard place
With an itch ta make ya twitch
You’re not alone
If it hits ya in the funny-bone
They believe they’ve read:
A famous actor is dead
The President to step down
Or, anything about a mad clown
Chorus
Makes ya dread what you’ve read…
Oh, no! There’s no such thing as a good GMO
The Earth and Killer Asteroid to collide
Big Business causes my personal messes
And, anything they share on Obamacare
Beware!
It’s a shame. Though lame, you can’t believe hardly anything you read from this breed.

LYRICS
The coo of the coup is cuckoo
Insane in Ukraine
The slip in Egypt
Can you understand Thailand?
An irate police state
Eliminates primates
The destiny of liberty…
Freedom come undone
And, the walrus is us
Hey USA what do you say
Be a real pity if it comes to your city?
ABOUT THIS SONG
A song about the coups, police states and military take-overs that have been going on this year.

LYRICS
I…
I have arrived
Arrived alive
Gonna build a lift
As a gift
And shift…
Into overdrive
Build a lift up to the stars
Build a lift up so far
Raise the bar
Beyond lunar
More, more in store
A love allure
Love allure
Overdrive
Alive
I’ve…
Alive
Live
Queen in a beehive
Gonna shift
Catch a whiff
Catch the drift
Build a lift
As a gift
Then we’ll shift
Into overdrive
I’ve…

LYRICS
Could this be the beginning of something
Anything at all
Is it the start of the middle
Or the beginning of the end
… beginning of the end
I know from the day I was born
I was something
Now, I don’t that I’ll forever endure
I hoping when I get to the beginning of the end
I head backward
And start again
At absolute zero
Did you know
There are those
That think we might rewind
Is this the start of something
I’d love to make the most of everything
All my time
No waste of rhyme
Is this the start of the middle
Or the beginning of the end
(The age-old riddle…)
What message will we send
