Something Different.mp3 (Country Music / Americana Version)

LYRICS
There’s something different in the way you think
There’s something different in the way you see
I think with the universe you sync
I see in our time it will be

Chorus
If you want, you can have it
(But) Do you need… ’cause when you bleed it
We concede it… we’re conceited

There’s something different in the way you go
There’s something different in the way you move
The way you go with the flow
In the pocket… in the groove

Chorus

LYRICS
What do you do with all your day
Do you get to work as if to play
Is being productive seductive
In some sort-of way
When you’re through
Do you love your nighttime, too

What do you do along your way
By any chance do you get to say
“Amazing! Elusive? Inclusive?”
For what do you pray
When dues are due
Will we still be tight, too

Oops! Your cup spilleth over
Hope we start to discover
Not a fighter… more a lover

LYRICS
Firecracker on the 4th of July
Poof! Band! Auld Lang Syne
Is the load of your energy spent
Or, resurrected… from heaven sent (second time lent)

It’s not too late… let’s repent
Soar as high… let’s fly
(Soar on high second time)

Heartbreaker on Valentine’s Day
Poof! Band! Auld Lang Syne
Is the cloud on your picnic wet
Or, hung to dry and live on yet?

LYRICS
1) Here’s the funny thing
Mom’s half was for the King
Pop’s half said, “Wrath we bring!”

2) Her’s the funny thing
Ya gotta attest with protest
Or, we all fail the (democracy) test
Here’s the funny thing

It’s time we got our freedom back
Don’t blame it on the terror attack
It’s time we got our freedom back
Don’t blame it on the guts that you lack

On my way home to the free n’ the brave
Let’s get our leaders to behave
On my way home to the free n’ the brave
It’s time we stopped being our own slave

There’s a fly in the ointment
Without an appointment
Does anybody anywhere even care
There’s a fly in the ointment
Without an appointment
Is anybody aware

There’s a guy holding office
That’s a public disgrace
Does anybody want to save face
Give a try grasping this
Human rights aren’t hit or miss
Let us create some space

Do you know where you are? Our solar system doesn’t really have a name, so it’s a trick question. The second closest solar system is a bit more than 4 light years away, has 3 stars and is called Alpha Centauri. The closest Alpha Centauri star to us is called Proxima Centauri.

LYRICS
chorus
There’s a movement of the people
You can not deny
Oh, my, my

And, it seems it’s starting to show
Tearing at the seams
As the people get into the know
You know what I mean?

Chorus

You dare not cross the line
Or, they’ll try to crack your spine
If you dare to raise a presence
The weight will crush ’till silence

Civil Unrest in the City of Brotherly Love
Civil Unrest in the City of Brotherly Love

Chorus

Chorus reprise
There’s a movement toward a steeple
When the temple is the people
Try, try, try

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was/is inspired by N.A. Poe of Philadelphia’s TV show the Panic Hour. Though Poe was not allowed on Federal Ground, his presence was the essence.

LYRICS
There was a time when time went tick tock
But, since… they’ve changed the meaning of clock
There was a time when Plymouth was a rock
Now freedom’s hogtied… gagged with a sock

Chorus
Can you really, really break free
And, freely be “me”
Can you wiggle into sanity
And, become totally

There was a time when they heard rhyme
But, since… they’ve changed the meaning of crime
There was a time when Goliath was giant
Now, wonder if you’re God’s client?

Who is afraid of the big, bad wolf
Meandering propaganda comes from his mouth
Who is afraid of the lion pig
With all that lyin’ his own grave he’ll dig

Chorus
You can huff… you can puff… but you can’t blow it down
When they judge the play, who’ll be the clown
You can huff… you can puff… no! You can’t blow it down
When they judge the play, who’ll wear the frown

Once upon a time there were three little bears
Into their den Goldilocks dares
Eating their porridge… sitting in their chairs
Until she’s caught in bed, nobody cares

LYRICS
The bigger they come the further they fall
Thinking that they’re above it all

Isn’t it about time for realization
Isn’t it time for a real celebration
Of a civil civil civilization

The meeker they come the further they’ll go
The promised land is coming or don’t you know?

Instead of spines without ration
Following passion’s latest fashion
From the highest peaks to the depths of the ocean

The bigger they come the further they fall
Thinking that they’re above it all
The meeker they come the further they’ll go
The promised land is coming or don’t you know?
