LYRICS
Oh, where did the love go
Whoa… do you know?
Oh, where did your love go
’cause it hasn’t been shinning
No it doesn’t even show
’cause it hasn’t been shinning
Let it start… begin! Let it show

Where, oh, where did your love go
Where, oh, where can it be
Where, oh, where did your love go
’cause your heart is feeling empty

Ohhh… City Of Brotherly

LYRICS
The traffic races through my head
Before I blurt out what’s to be said
Won’t be a blight… no, not a dread
Try as I might to put it to bed

As you depend on a leprechaun
Your luck is gone… gone, gone, gone
Or worship some graven image
Digging your grave is no mirage
Not in this age… not in this day… hey, hey, hey!

You can dance here. There’s nothing to fear.
Put your arms in the air. Dance without care.
Prancing up and down… chancing it all around
Carefree dancing happily

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

’cause don’t you think it’s about time?
No victim. No Crime.

Instead, why don’t you sedate your confusion… militant delusion

LYRICS
Just landed on this stage
And, it’s all the world
What planet? Say, what Age?

Is it an Age you can grow old
When a future generation can be told
Or, an Age when the arrogant’s too bold
When all our live’s expectations have been sold

Is that our world?

Is it a stage you know you can play
Where a fortune generation is to say
The way to truth when you know the way
When all our expectations unfold

Is that our world?

I’m just a foreigner passing through
Praying my days aren’t too few
I’m just a foreigner passing through
Praying to make the most of all I do

Is that our world?

Sure hope there’s water on mars

LYRICS
Was she serious when she said
Serious dumpster fire ahead?
The Boulevard’s shut down
How we gonna get around?

Was she serious?
A serious dumpster fire
Seriously?
It sounds funny to me

How could civilization transpire
To the point of a “serious” dumpster fire?
That’s what the lady on the radio said
“Hello. This is your radio…
Traffic update”
At any rate, she went on to state
“The Boulevard is shut down
You’ll have to find a way around.”
Then, like the town crier
She said, “serious dumpster fire”

A song based on this conversation:

Anudder Cast said, So…after the Harold Camping thing, and the Mayan thing, can we be done with “End Of The World” tomfoolery for a while?At least when it comes to ancient prophecy hocus pocus?

Give me a good asteroid/Earth collision story or something next time, ok?

Daniel Brouse replied, You’re in luck… this just in — To the Church in Philadelphia: “Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.”

  • Anudder Cast So…I’m safe then?
  • Daniel Brouse according to The Book on The End… Revelation 3-7… can’t get much better ancient prophecy than that… well, except for the book named after me http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%2012&version=NIV

    To the Church in Philadelphia

    “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:

    These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.

    11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12 The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. 13 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Why don’t we all praise God
At least a little

Though I don’t really like to use the word
Thanks for putting the talent on Earth

Please give me guitar…. give me drums…
Please give me management that can count some sums

Maybe Greg Davis on the guitar
… George Manney on drums
We’ll let Stanton count the sums
(Oh, yeah! Bring on the Revue with Bob Beru, too)

Kurrey can create the tune
The clapping keeping time
Debbi Calton introduces the band
Hey! With Michael Tearson lending a hand

Why don’t we all praise God
At least a little

Though I don’t really like to use the word
Thanks for putting the talent on Earth

Please give me guitar…. give me drums
Please give me management that can count some sums

Maybe Allen James on the guitar
Leaving space… for Garry Lee on bass

More than I can ask for… how about you?

And, then…
I come to learn, Fern…
Fern will take us home.

Letting hot air out of fat cats

Not the anarchist… ‘rather an artist
Paint a picture that’s just
Pulling the plug if they’re a thug
Painting a picture of bliss

You take some of this and put it with that
Letting hot air out of fat cats

No politician… ‘rather’a musician
Play a pretty song that is just
Pulling the power if they’re sour
Playing a song such as this
