LYRICS
You call this art? Need a blood flowchart
The art of warfare is everywhere
I could sure start with a blood flowchart
Beware of the blood-flow over there
I wouldn’t want you to step in it
It’s worse than stepping in… worse than stepping in… stepping in $hit
The art of warfare is everywhere

A picture’s worth a thousands words
A million words can’t describe the toll of a sole soul
The art of warfare is everywhere
Ya know this ain’t Vincent Van Gogh
We make Picasso look less absurd

The risk to every art critic… you’re gonna get hit
There’s a fan… and, when the $hit gets to it… you’re gonna get hit
The art of warfare is everywhere

Die-a-gram for Over-cooked Turkey.mp3

LYRICS
May I say, happy holiday? Can you tell me, “How do you like your turkey?”
Our recipe for catastrophe:
Now, somehow Moscow resides on both sides
In France, they’re doing the (anti)terror dance
Invoking the Kremlin gremlin
The Kremlin gremlin provoking a turkey basting
Are you telling me I am the delicacy? Noooo… I don’t wanna be in the recipe!
Too many cooks in the kitchen… too many kooks in the kitchen
And, here I am sayin’, “I need a die-a-gram”

All the while up to their ears in Syria diarrhea
Some sick Islamic
Don’t ya think that’ll stink?
Leave it up to their fears in Syria diarrhea
You ISIS? I is not ISIS
No Boca Raton killing marathon
While Al-Shabaab rape n’ rob
Run as fast as you can from the Taliban
Oh my gawd! No Jihad
Please read the Qur’an agin’
Is that what is meant? The Qur’an is based on the New Testament… which is based on the Old Testament. We’re all on top of the same base-meant.
And, here I am, “I need a die-a-gram”

The Saudi’s out of Yemen
Can I get an Amen?
They ran from Iran
More than a crack in Iraq
Now who’s gettin’ in
Na, na, na not China
And, here I am, “I need a die-a-gram”

What’s left of the leftovers? What’s the deal with this holiday meal? I’ve been rooked… the turkey’s over-cooked! What else can I say on Thanksgiving Day?

If the door is shut open it up
Just turn the knob
It’s not a hard job
If you think the path is blocked

Just open it up

Open it and see
Check it out
Open it up

LYRICS
If it’s a lie
Will you find out before you die
Just because it’s you, you, you
Believing it’s true
Do you think that’ll do?

Don’t need to be a sleuth
When the truth
Is obvious
To all of us
Logical to all
That are logical

Forget the fantasy of conspiracy
Conspiracies miscarry
The reality of responsibility is the destiny of your mortality

LYRICS
I had this crazy notion
To create a concoction — Love Potion

I had this crazy notion
To create a concoction
Love potion

A love potion
Spreadin’ from ocean to ocean

Upon suggestion
Create a concoction
Injection
Straight to the heart
Like Cupid’s arrow
And a bow… ya know?
Straight through the heart
A love potion
Can you help the love grow
Spread it from ocean to ocean
Could be the solution
To our situation
The creation
Of a concoction
A love potion

A love potion
Set in motion
Love potion

Solution to our situation
Our hell-bound self-annihilation
We need some new ventilation
It’s hard to breath
I think our hearts will seize
And our brains will freeze

A love potion

If we start to look in our heart
The soul-ution will be the potion
And the potion will spread from ocean to ocean

LYRICS
Out of the web in my cob
With a wink and a nod
For which I yearn to learn
I learn…
I can see… it’s already a memory

Clearing the webs from my cob

Clearing the webs from my cob
With a wink and a nod
For all which I yearn to learn
I can see clearly
It’s already a memory

I can see…
Was already a memory

From within
I begin
To see
Quite clearly

Clearing the webs from my cob
With a wink and a nod
All for which I yearn to learn
I discern
I can see clearly
Already a memory

… already memory

LYRICS
I really think you
Have it in you
I do
Heaven in you
I think there’s heaven in you
And, I believe you can help relieve
Give aid
You can help save
Not that you’re meant to be a savior
’cause you’re too late
As a matter of fact
That didn’t work

Nevertheless, all the mess
You need not confess
Want to make it clear
That’s not what we’re looking for here
Nevertheless
I believe you have it in you
So, come on… let’s see what we can do

Yes, I guess
You’ve got it in you
It’s true
You’ve got it in you
It’s true
Now, watcha gonna do

Tidal Wave Goodbye.mp3

LYRICS
The ebb and flow
Of the tide do you know
Which way it’s going to go
Do you know if it’s going high
Or is it going low

Coming in or going out

I’m just trying to find out what it’s all about
If I’m going to ride the tide to the other side
Figure I better stop looking inside
And start exploring out
See if I can find out what it’s about

So, I was just wondering if you know
About the ebb and flow
If you know which way the tide is going to go

Going high or going low

So if you can just give me the heads up on when the tides up
I would like to partake in the participation of ridin’ the time
Surfs up
Come ride the tide
Surfs up
That’s what’s up

LYRICS
I hear your name is Dan
And, you’re the man with the plan
Would you say it again
Over and over again

I hear your name is Dan
You’re the man with the plan
Would you tell me again
I’m a lil’ slow ya know
Can’t take it all in

I know where we’ve been
But, I’m having trouble with where to begin
The plan, Dan
For man, Dan
The plan, Dan
For man, Dan

Dan you’re the man with the plan
Would you let us in
And, say it again
’cause I’m a lil’ slow ya know
And, I really can’t take it in
I can’t bare it with a grin
So, tell us again
Please would you say it again and again and again
It’s not like we’ll listen
Would you say it again

So, if you don’t mind as to be so kind
If you could go over it again and again and again
Because the human sin… well, I’ve heard I’ve been forgiven
So I can do it again
Over and over and over again
So if you’re just going to bring… just going to spring
This thing on me now
Somehow,
I’m suppose to be responsible for all that I am able…
To be
Well, golly
It’s seems like… ya, know… a lot of work
Not to be such a jerk

This is Dan with the plan
I’m a man
A human
I can understand that we’ve got to make a change
But there’s a few individuals that want to gobble it all
Gobble it all up
’till there’s none left for the rest of us

So, this is Dan the man with the plan
The human
Trying to explain the gap in the synapse
Trying to re-arrange the brain
The membrane
The rationality
Sensibility
Responsibility
For both you and me
Or we’re all going to cease to be
(That’s something none of us want to see)
Wake the F#$% up

Just like has been said before
Don’t know if we can stand any more
Going through the floor

The way we’re going
It’s going to begin
The way things are going
It’s going to begin
To end

The way we’re headed
Going to be dreaded
By the youth
The way that we’re headed
Won’t need a sleuth
Falling through the floor

Once we climb the mountain, it’s all downhill

Still, until…
We gotta climb oh so high
Still, until…
We must get by
Let’s head to the sky

Once we climb the mountain, it’s all downhill

The sky opens up and dumps it’s rain
Dumps it’s reign
Let it fall over the fool
As we climb up, let the love shine down
Let the love be found

All downhill
Using freewill
All downhill
Using freewill
We’ll pray to do what’s right
You know it’s in sight
Let is rock and roll downhill
It’s all downhill
Let the rock roll
Let the rock roll downhill
And, we will instill
The will of living
And giving
Until the last drop
Giving non-stop
