LYRICS
Pierce the skin with a needle prick
Take away the ills of feeling sick
Peace of mind… more than a mental trick
When growing old the physiology is thick

ick, ick, ick, ick

Mother’s little helper — quick
Forget another habit to quit
Feeling of relief — slick
Hot spot… I scream “Ice cream” lick

ick, ick, ick

LYRICS
You the new world order
Is a suit and a tie
Can you protect the border
Or, is it all a lie?

La, de, da, la, de, da, dum

They say you are what you eat
With the media we’re fed… I guess bullshit?
They say the system can’t be beat
Maybe if we all led a protest fit

Na, na, na, na, na, na

You think the new world order
Is live and let die
Well, it’s the last quarter
Time for us to say goodbye

La, de, da, la, de, da, dum

LYRICS
It’s so humid my innards are stew
Yeah, we’re hot and sweaty, too

Hot all day and all night
There’s no relief in sight
Ha ha ha hot

There’s a thunderstorm rollin’ through just ’bout every day
Our climate change is the volatile weather way

Well, the world won’t stop for you to get off
We’ll have to deal
No, we never could get to fulfill enough
We’ve made it real

Yowwwww

LYRICS
Wouldn’t want anybody to hurt you
Especially you

Better put you hand in a boxing glove
Better put a helmet on your head
’cause I’ve heard it said
Self-inflicted pain results from falling in love

Wouldn’t want anybody to hurt you
Especially you

Better cover yourself in some bubble wrap
Shave only with a safety razor
’cause love will slice you like a laser
Or, snap your back like a mousetrap

Wouldn’t want anybody to hurt you
Especially you

LYRICS
Looking out at the road ahead
Where you sleep you made the bed
The road’s too steep then you’ll dread
But, rest assured if it can be said

Ohhh… ohhh… oh

Looking back there’s no regret or attitude
If anything, more of gratitude
Who cares if the music is garage?
Perhaps, too, the road ahead is a mirage

Yeah, yeah, yeah

LYRICS
Who wants…
Who wants “What’s up?”

You’re passing me by on the street
But, will we ever really meet?
The younger they are, the better they greet
Hope ya don’t get old before ya get beat

Ahh….

You’re watching me bearing a grin
But, will we ever entwine
The purer they are the more their givin’
I’m so glad the world’s (ours and) not (just) mine

ABOUT THIS SONG

Made in the USA (West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

This song was inspired by a guy walking by that said to me, “What’s up?” But, did he really want to know “what is up” with this world? Did he really want to know how to help make the world a better place? Did he really want to engage in the song I was writing? Then, I started thinking about how many people that passed me by really wanted to hear. It dawned on me that the younger they are the more they “get it”. The kids stop and talk to me, dance, laugh and jump about. Moral of the story — try not to grow up.

Time goes past fast
In the summertime
Just wish it’d last

Cicadas sounding like castanets
Quaking aspen shaking to the beat
What gives is what gets
Let’s go running in bare feet

Bringing on the summer solstice
At the cusp of a full moon
The days are beautiful… the nights nice
Just wish it wasn’t over so soon

LYRICS
How can someone just turn and walk away?
It’s become the way of our day
Haven’t you anything more to say?
How can anyone just turn and walk away?

Chorus
May the peace roll down every mountain
Through the valley
To the sea
May the peace spout out like a fountain
Raining down on you and me
Reigning down on you and me

How can someone not even care?
They don’t have a dime or the time to spare
Making a statement about how life’s not fair
How can anyone claim they’re unaware?

Don’t ever give up your will to live
Forever live a life to give

Spread the love like a contagious disease

Bestow the love so that it may grow

One Forty-Four K naught

In the Age of waste not, want not
We let the land of plenty rot
The last page… the last astronaut
Engage in rage… love’s forgot

We engage in rage and the love is forgot

One foot under water
The other in the grave
Worse than pigs, for sure
The way we behave

One I for an I
Until we all die

To get a grasp on reality
Can we agree that rationality

LYRICS
When the tunnel appears pitch black as night
When I can’t see the end… no glimmer of light
I should have remembered to pray for a rainy day
Though I pray I can say there’s never been passion neglect

I would regret if I forget
That I’m in love with you
That would be worse than anything on Earth
That would be worse than anything I could do
That would be to curse my re-birth

I’m giving my love to the heavens above
I’m giving my love to all living beings
I’m giving my love to the heavens above
I’m giving my love to Her image samplings
