LYRICS
If you’re feeling the day-to-day is drudgery
Just another cog in the human factory
Maybe it’s time to wake up and see
All you can be

If you’re feeling the day-to-day is drudgery
Maybe it’s time for a new recipe
Where we wake up and see
All we can be

If you’re feeling the day-to-day is drudgery
Maybe it’s not too late to get out and see
Get up, get out… be all you can be

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Sure hope I never see the day
When I never see the day

I hope I never see the day when I never see the day
When all in sight is the black of night
Not even a reflection from the moon
Daylight can’t come too soon

I hope I never see the day when I never see the day
Blue sky
Oh, my, my

Before we do what we do for you
Got to see the light
Keep alive
And the day will arrive

I hope I never see the day when I never see the day
It’s all right
Alright
The daylight

If I may take the liberty
To tell ya what I see
To try to explain me
I hope I never see the day when I never see the day
All right daylight
Alright daylight
In sight
Daylight
Insight
Daylight

I hope and pray every day
That I never see the day when I never see the day
Every day above ground is a good day
Every day I’ve found sound is a good day
All right daylight
Alright daylight

See The Day.mp3

LYRICS
Er, a…
How’s your credit?
You want me to lend you my ear
Hear here… now
Forget it

There might be a few mistakes that you’ll make
As long as you don’t fake
That you regret it
If you know you’ve made a mistake
If you know you’ve been a fake
You’re better off to regret it
To begin to be forgiven of that sin

Isn’t it a sin
Not to begin?

How’s your credit?
You want me to lend you my ear
You can forget it

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The march of the mindless people
All in the name of the steeple
It’s getting deep but still
The march of the mindless people

The march of the mindless sapiens
Repeat the same phrases
Repeat the same phases
Again and again and again

The march of the mindless people
It’s getting deep but still
In the name of their steeple
The march of the mindless people

The march of the mindless people
It’s getting deep but still
They march, they march, they march… until
The cows come home
Into the setting sun
They march, march, march
’till the west is won
’till overkill is overdone

March, march, march
Hut 2, 3, 4
March into the dark
We march on a lark
Into the dark
The march of the mindless people

All under the name of their steeple
The point, their point on the top of their head
That negates everything they’ve said
They march, march, march
The blind leading the blind
To the unkind

The march of the mindless people
It’s getting dark
But still
They will
Do as they will
The march of the mindless people

LYRICS
Do you consider yourself outrageous
Do you consider your outrageous outright contagious?

Is your outrageous contagious in such a way that it may be spontaneous
Some spontaneous combustion

I feel it churning
The hearts are yearning

Is your outrageous contagious?
Do you consider yourself outrageous
Do you consider yourself outrageous outright contagious?

Can you gauge your outrage
About our time… about our age
You’d think the history book would have already turned the page

Yet we march
Some say stampede
We’ve got to succeed in… divin’ over the cliff
’till we’re all stiff
Over the cliff
‘tell we’re all dead and stiff

Do you consider yourself outrageous
Is your outrageous outright contagious?

The outrageous age ages us
Becoming before it’s due
Yes we do
Become old before we’re due
Yes we do

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Have you humans no self worth?
Living on a giant pile of filth
Just selfishness and greediness
Leads inevitably to worthlessness

Does the Pope poop in the woods
A bear Catholic… believing God is good
Can you see the trees through the forest
If one falls can it be heard by the rest

Have you humans all gone mad
Not even the lightest bit sad
Am I standing here all alone
Thinking it’s a shame to trash our own home?

Does the Pope Poop in the Woods? .mp3

LYRICS
Do you dread what’s in your head
And when you come to
Will you think so, too?

Do you dread what’s in your head?

Well, my guess
If I were to wager
If I were to place a bet
I could just wait and see
As far as I can see
You set your own destiny

You’re better off to figure
Before you pull the trigger
You better figure it out
Don’t scream and shout

Can’t we just put it to bed?

Oh please don’t ever let me get dread locks in my head

LYRICS
I think it’s time we had a talk with your mother
Unless you have some sort-of druther
I think it’s best if we had a talk with your mother
What’s she gonna think when she see’s this stink
“Jesus, not another”

Mamm, I don’t know if you know who I am
No need to slam
But you might want to have a confidential with your boy
’cause it seems in the pursuit of joy
He thought all the rest of us were just his toy
So please
Get him to cease

If I may say…
Being interrupted in such a rude way
I think it’s time we had a talk with your mother
I’m thinking she might be left in awe
Ahhhhh

I’m aweful sorry Ma
But, after all the awe
Your son has caused such dismay
So if I may
Go outside and play
If I may ask
Just spank his ass
That boy is out-of-control
He’s an outta control troll

The cat is out of the bag
Can’t afford a time lag

Gotta search far and wide
Gotta turn the tide

No time like the present
Make yourself present in the present
Before your past goes passed

Take a ride on the slide
Bring your inside
Down to Earth
For what it’s worth

No sense trying to hide the inside
Let your inside out
Let everyone know everywhere
What you’re all about

You’ve got nothing to hide
Let your inside…
Out
Let the whole world know what you’re about

Let your inside slide
Let it out
You can find out what you’re all about

Everything has ended up strange
Do you even know if it’s in your range
In your reign

Within your heart

It’s time to start aiming for the heart
Maybe, baby?
