Writing the Song Thawed Just Ice
Writing the Song “Thawed Just Ice”

LYRICS
When the doom starts to loom
Go toward the omnipresent light
When storm troopers goon
Got to stick up for what is right

What is “just” must come true
True the alignment is meant

When you feel down on your luck
When you are persecuted
It’s time to give a F&%#!
Risking being executed

What is “just” must come true
True the alignment is meant

LYRICS
When you lookout, lookout, lookout
From behind your eyes
Is it any… surprise?!?!

Got to get up, get up, get up
And, rise

When you stand up, stand up, stand up
For what you believe
You will bring… relief
Surmise — rise!

Got to get up, get up, get up
And, rise

When you speak out, speak out, speak out
About injustice
You raise consciousness
A prize for those that rise

Got to get up, get up, get up
And, rise

Don’t Tread on Us,
Look’s like freedom’s
Thown under a bus?

bookmark_borderLet ‘Em Roll

A coupla’ reminders,
To take off my blinders:

Gonna let ’em roll,
Right over me,
If they’re thinkin’ that,
I’ll be goin’ splat…
If that’s their goal,
Gonna let ’em roll,
Right over me…
’cause I can be flat,
Flat as can be,
Then sprout right back,
Toward infinity.

Lord knows…
There’s an eternity,
For takin’ blows,
But, lifetime goes,
By too quickly,
To waste a bit,
On any of that,
‘rather just act…
Flat!
And, let ’em roll,
Yeah, let ’em roll,
Right over me,
Likely, won’t be ’till then,
That they’ll see,
Probably be when,
That they’ll see,
The stonewall,
Right behind me,
Soooo, let ’em roll,
Yeeeeah, let ’em roll,
Gonna let ’em roll,
Right over me!
