45 RPM

Posted on February 8, 2017February 8, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Dial denial
Truth’s trial
Set “to know”
At zero
I dial denial
But get no answer
Under the file —
“A Truth Dancer”
45’s revolutions
45/minute
45 RPM
45’s revolutions
45/minute
45… revolutions per minute
Don’t you know you’re soaking in it?
(Those alive search for truth no matter how minute)
45 RPM, I am
Going round and round again and again
45 causing 45 revolutions per minute
45 RPM again and again
45 RPM
45 RPM going round n’ round agin’
I am 45 RPM going round agin’
Imagine this
The POTUS
Takes us down the precipice
Disastrous
For all of us
Going down, down, down
In the (tiny) hands of a clown
45 ’till no one is left alive
going under, dive, dive, dive
45’s revolutions
45/minute
45’s revolutions
45 revolutions per minute

A Lovely Revolution

LYRICS
This is a test of the non-emergency broadcasting network
It is only a test

You say you believe in revolution
Not in a bloody institution
But the evolution of your revolution
Umm… what’s in your institution?

What do you have to say
Keep harm outta harm’s way?
What do you have to say
Can you keep harm at bay?

So, you wanna start a revolution
Agin’ the bloody institution
What do you plan instead of bloodshed
Pray tell, what is you plan instead?

What do you have to say
Keep harm outta harm’s way?
What do you have to say
Can you keep harm at bay?

LYRICS
Eggbeater circling overhead
And machine-gunners to dread
Supersonic surveillance boats afloat
This is how you spent your vote

Chorus
Home of the not so free
Home of the not so brave
Is that how you want to be
Is that any way to behave

America what are you doing
What is in your head
America what’s pursuing
Do ya wanna end up dead

Chorus

LYRICS
There’s an uprising in the street
Bound and determined to be doomed — self-defeat

Chorus
Throwing a fit just like a hypocrite
Dowsed and lit… rampage for a bit

There’s an uprising in the street
Destined for destruction… utter downbeat

Hypocrite hypster not so discreet
Into submission you can’t beat

There’s an uprising in the street
No accounting an imbalance sheet

Mister hypocritester bringing on the heat
Time to clock out on your time sheet

ABOUT THE SONG
This coversong was inspired by the rioting in Baltimore, MD. The people rising up against violence with violence seemed too ironic… too hypocritical. So, the rioters posing to be on TV made me think of this song (for they are The Beautiful People.)

LYRICS
We’re in step
To the promised land
In a marching band
A reggae… funky reggae marching band

Pick up a flute or pickup a lute
A mandolin or violin
Pick up whatever you can get into

We’re getting in step
Left right it’s alright
Left right left right
We left left right
Left left for right
We’re getting in step
With a reggae marching band

In step to thee promised land
If you want to joins hands
Hand in hand in step to the promised land
This marching reggae band
This reggae marching band

Baltimore

LYRICS
All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution

Son, had you begun in Ferguson?
Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore

You can’t hate hate unless you partake
You can’t take part with what’s at stake
When you behave all irate… at any rate

There’s a moral lack when you strike back
At others not involved in your attack
Doesn’t matter whether they’re a shade of grey, white or black
It’s just a matter of fact
That ain’t no way to act

Is it any wonder they wanna put you in a cage
The way you behave all in a rage
You’re more likely to engage as a sage
Put a The End to that book… and look to a blank page

All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution

Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore?
No more! No more!
