Yo! Do ya wanna go
To a B.M. fiasco?

Call the bluff on hype
Blow up the fiasco

Occupy Philadelphia City Hall Protest
Protesters march at City Hall in Center City Philadelphia, PA

This is about pro-protesting. I am all for protesting and spend time protesting for protesting. Lately, I’ve seen too much poor protesting. If you are going to protest, please do so properly.

Why will we climb the mountain?
Because it’s there
Why will we protest the mountain?
Because we can

Why aren’t we chicken to cross the road?
We’ve got to get to the other side
Besides, we should

Occupy Philly? Oh, yeah!
Really? Oh, yeah!

We are protesting for protesting
We are testing
Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3
Testing humanity
The humane you
The humane me
Protesting for protesting
Suggesting testing
Of the population
As one nation…
Under God

bookmark_borderI Think

The Thinker Museum
Outside the Rodin Museum

written and recorded while sitting under The Thinker statue at the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia, PA

Now, can you tell me
What you think of that?
Spoiled child… raised a brat
No offspring should ever see
Such a bastard… filthy rat
Glad to see my child will be
Free from ignorance
No need for pity
Free from arrogance
What do you think of that
The thought of ought
And, then to act

Tell me, Rodin, what do you think of that?
Natural beauty

If you think you’re stuck
Between a rock and a hard place
Retrace
The steps of your future
To see how you make it out

It’s far-out
How you can see
What steps to take
There’s no doubt
You can get free
Make what you make
Of it
All depends
What we make
Of it
All depends
What we make
Of it

Create the flow… go!

Daniel Brouse writing the song Walking Small

Men thinking
They could wall tall
To make others
Feel small
Without blinking
Squashing
No consideration
At all
A federation
Of corruption
Damnation crusade
Tryin’ persuade
By destruction
Men thinking
They could walk talk
Please,
Drop to your knees

LYRICS
Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You just might….

Going down to Downey’s
Plenty of players there
With the spirit to experiment
What sound can be found?

Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You just might….

Take some singers to Ringers
Bring more to the dance floor
Give a look that’s meant
To ask if there’s more

Thinking of you
On this hot summer night
Wondering if
You’ll improve my sight
Catch a glimpse
Through the crowd
We’ll sing our song
We’ll sing it loud
With astral dancing
Made for romancing
Embrace the space
While we have the chance
