LYRICS
Please relieve what I believe
Scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours
Politicians in positions
Cutting deals behind closed doors
Above the law
Below the belt
Makes my face melt
Leaving me in awe
(Shock and all. Shock and awe… above the law)

“Ahh, poor baby. Join the pity party.”

Republican “can but won’t” party
Democratic “erratic” party
Seems that I’m in the majority
Joined the pity party

Bliss is the ignorance of business
Make a profit God damn it! That’s it!
Claim immunity from highway robbery
Place your order… get away with murder
Above the law
Below the belt
Makes my face melt
Leaving me in awe

LYRICS
The juice doesn’t flow
Do they know
Currently lacking current
Urgent synapse fail
There’s no juice to the third rail

Their brains are jumping trains
… brains jumping trains

The boxcar is empty
There’s no freight inside
Can they see that it’s empty
Even when they ride?

Their brains are jumping trains
… brains jumping trains
The caboose is coming loose
Insane on a runaway train

LYRICS
Hey diddle diddle there’s a doll with a fiddle
And some cat playing the spoons
Sing, “Ring around the Rosie”
Singin’…
And we’ll all go round and round
Then we’ll all fall down

Little Boy Blue come blow your horn
Play Boogie Woogie Blues until the ‘morn
The sheeple are in the meddle
Politicians are all the scorn
Say, “Play the blues on your horn song”
Play all the day long
Say, “All the livelong day”

LYRICS
Burnt on the outside… raw in the middle
Really ain’t much of a riddle
I’d love to say job well done
But the brains may be in the bun

Instead of making you stare
Trying to make you rare
Might be time ya looked
If your mind’s over-cooked

Cook! Cook, will you take a look
There’s a fly drownin’ in my soup
Cook!, Cook, check your cookbook
Are fly’s in the soup du jour group?

Instead of making you stare
Trying to make you rare
Might be time ya looked
If your mind’s over-cooked

LYRICS
Right wing. Left wing.
Hear them sing
Thinking they’re the only thing
Left wing. Right wing.
Here’s the thing
Coming to our table with nothing to bring

The wind of change is starting to blow
Time to re-arrange… time for them to go

Right wing. Left wing.
All ding-a-ling
Thinking they’re the only thing
Left wing. Right wing.
Bird can’t fly
No co-operating… any wonder why?

Chorus

Right wing. Left wing.
Whole thing’s stinkin’
Makes ya wonder what the hell they are thinkin’
Left wing. Right wing. All are freakin’
Waitin’ to see who’s the first one blinkin’

I bet that really stings
Makes your ears ring
Causes throbbing pain
Lack of oxygen to the brain

The road less traveled is more unusual
Such is learned by the stampede of the cruel
Do you see the cruelty of the cruel crowd rule?

(bullfight music interlude)

I bet that really brings
Pain and suffering
Obviously misery
Blinding is what I see

LYRICS
Look! Everything’s coming up roses
Looking through my rose-colored glasses

One supposes
Even the politicians don’t appear as asses
No such luck
They’re still looking dumb as….

Still
An optimistic perception
Will
Give rise to immaculate conception
’cause Holy $hit… that’s it!
Time to birth an idea with worth

Look! Everything’s coming up roses
Looking through my rose-colored glasses
The roses are read
Pessimism’s dead

LYRICS
Am I in heaven
Without being dead
As these mortal thoughts
Penetrate my head

Chorus
The hypocrites so hypocritical
They’re gonna shut their own … (You’re letting us down)
Hypocrite equals political
Severely sadistical clown

Sign of the beckon
Nod — yes is said
No more “why nots”
Time freedom is fed

Am I in heaven
Do Overlords fail
Bureaucrat robot
Tiger eats it’s tail

Sigh… oh, the beckon
Nod — yes! We hail
No more brain rot
Freedom needs a wail!

And, I bet the truth will set you free
From slavery
No surprise your web of lies
Veiled as bravery
Has jailed you…

Found unsavory
Crazy shady

LYRICS
Is there change in the air
Is there change in the anywhere
Is this change uncompared

All a flux for those with bucks

I see London. I see France.
Seeing politicians in their underpants
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
The bigger the crown the harder the down

Re-arrange their despair
Sending hope from here to there
Cause the change if you’re aware

All a flux for those with bucks

ABOUT THE SONG

It’s a song about change and voting on election day.

Heraclitus is famous for his insistence on ever-present change in the universe, as stated in the famous saying, “No man ever steps in the same river twice.”

Plato argues against Heraclitus as follows:
How can that be a real thing which is never in the same state? … for at the moment that the observer approaches, then they become other … so that you cannot get any further in knowing their nature or state …. but if that which knows and that which is known exist ever … then I do not think they can resemble a process or flux ….

32 feet per second per second
Gravitational pull
The higher they climb
The faster they fall
Gonna be Mother Nature’s fool?

Gravitational pull — exponential

We’re not walking on the moon
We’ll come to learn too soon
The more indecent
Sense decent

Acceleration — gravitational

Smaller steps are what you take
Walking on the Earth
For crying out loud! For goodness sake!
Be a creature… or afterbirth?

We’re not walking on the moon
We’ll come to learn too soon

LYRICS
Talk is cheap
When emotions run deep
Wise to reap
If the prize you seek

Chorus
Time to sacrifice the cash cow
Time to surface some know-how
Time to service the citizens
For the foundation of our nation

Shit is deep
The more ya’ll speak
Any ole geek
Can tell a wolf dressed as sheep

Chorus

Talk the talk
Responsibility… you walk
Boat left dock
While you were in deadlock

Dry dock deadlock
