LYRICS
If I knew now, what I knew then
When I knew now, if I knew then
I suppose I’m one of those
IN the here and now
So, somehow it’s not hard to see
Not for “we” when we’re bright
IN the light
Not hard to see wrong from right
When it’s in the light
Understanding when your standing
Not hard to see, really
When it’s in the light
If I knew now
Now from then
What I knew than when?
Not hard for me to see
Not hard for me to see we
When we see
In the light
Wrong from right
When it’s in the light

LYRICS
The story of “Sam I Am”

I wasn’t even jamming
Noooo
I was just…
Sitting there
Discussing in a rational fashion
The events of the day
There were some big events that day
Come to be known as the tRump Roast
The arrogant boast the most

We weren’t making a sound
That could be heard
Anywhere around
When from out of nowhere
Ohhhhh no no
The Po-po
The Po-po said you gotta go
Go!
I said, “I dunno”

We were just sitting there
Exercising our civil rights
To discuss the events of the day in a neighborhood way
Nooo… we couldn’t just go
No, no, no
No go

Underdog pops a power pill
Going into overdrive
Still, the energy pill
Can’t kill all the evil
Wickedest antagonist spill

Dr. Simon Bar Sinister overkill

Try to make Sweet Polly Purebred dead
And, this shoeshine boy turns to alter ego hero

Underdog pops a power pill
Going into overdrive… help keep hope alive
Speed of lightning
Power of thunder
Righting all
With a glimpse of wonder

Strive to keep hope alive!

LYRICS
Those pictures from the Hubble
Really popped my bubble
Here I thought the universe was centered around me
Must have some sort-of vanity curse… ’cause it’s hard for me to see

Did you see the the supernova star explosion
Damn it!
If a star explodes in space, can anyone hear it?
By the time we see it, maybe there will be evolution
Or is intelligent live still light years away?
Call it post-humanity dismay

“Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar” galaxy
It’s time to set your soul free
Go far
F#$@ the greed czar
Make the concept of envy bizarre

Those pictures from the Hubble
Popped my bubble
Here I thought the universe revolved around me

The words for the verse are crucial
And, I’m trying to figure it out

The chords for the chorus… revolution
And, I’m trying to hammer it out

Please let what they sing ring
Throughout the land
Please let what they play say
We understand

No need to rehearse. This crucible
Is sure to fire things up
The power of love is critical
The volume it’s time to turn up

So, this is class warfare
I was totally unaware

People sleeping in the streets
You call this natural?
People sleeping in old crates
You say this is normal

Children dieing of starvation
You call this natural?
Part of society in deprivation
… business as usual

So, this is class warfare

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”

Is she looking at me?

As she walks in the door
Across the dance floor
Beaming from ear-to-ear
With the smile upon her face
Drawing ever near
Wrapping arms around me in an embrace

Is she looking at me?

She looks me in the eye
Then, I know
She looks I in the eye
Then, I knew
Oh, yeah! She’s looking at me

It feels oh so good
The way she wraps her arms around me
It’s a glimpse of heaven I see

Ahhh… she’s looking at me

My oh my
You think you can make that pig fly

If you think you can get that pig to dance

You might as well be writing some paperback romance
’cause you’re dreaming
In case you didn’t get it
You’re having a nightmare
And, I can only see one way clear —
Wake up!

There’s no way you will remain
Unless you pray for an angelic refrain
