The Monkey and the Ass

Posted on July 11, 2012July 11, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
You wanna be a snake in the grass
You’re more like a red baboon ass
The monkey in you
Gets the better of me
And, I have to flee

A snake in the grass?
More like a red baboon ass
You want to show your dominance
You only show ignorance
A snake in the grass
Red baboon ass
You want to show your dominance
And, all that bleeds through is ignorance

So dumb
Make us numb
You breed conceit

Dominance ignorance

You wanna be a snake in the grass
You show your red baboon ass

You, monkey
Won’t get the better of me
I am not going to submit to the submission

ABOUT
Capo 4
Keep a finger on Ab of the D-4 string

Why do some people force dominance and violence… especially within a family? A quote from Wikipedia about baboons:

“A female initiates mating by presenting her swollen rump to the male’s face. But “presenting” can also be used as a submissive gesture and is observed in males as well. This submissive gesture has many unspoken meanings amongst the troop. The dominant males often engage in what is known as a false-mount, in which they mount the submissive males. It is a sign of dominance, and happens very commonly to younger males in the troop.”

The Rat

LYRICS
The rat
Wields the bat
And, thinks that’s that

Well, this cat is resilient
And, he doesn’t take can’t, don’t or won’t

The rat
Wields the bat
And, thinks that’s that
You’ve got to awake
You can’t just take, take, take

ABOUT
Capo 2
Played with a 5-string guitar (no G-string)
Keep index finger on A-5 string C# (for the most part)
F# variations with a beating beat

Written and recorded July 9, 2012 outside the Whitpain Township Police Department, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. The song is about a dangerous mental illness that some people in authority develop — the militant attitude. On two separate occasions Whitpain Township Police officers sent me to the hospital, not to mention a host of other atrocities. In neither incident was I charged with a crime. Why do some people get pleasure from inflicting pain?

811

Posted on July 9, 2012July 9, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Did I dig into a nerve
Asking what God you serve?
Should have called 811
Now your #1 is on the run

Did I strike a nerve
Asking what God you serve?
I should have called 811
Now your #1 is on the run

Did I dig into deep
Is your conscious starting to creep
Does reality seep?

811 (Dig Into A Nerve) .mp3

ABOUT THIS SONG
G / D / A / E
E / D

Recorded on July 8, 2012. It is the fourth song from the album Baby Formula. The third song, Number One, was about physiological flaws verses spiritual flaws. This song questions your emotional stability when questioned about morals and ethics (and your spiritual flaws.) The concept came about when I was watching an electric company workman, and I thought to myself, “I wonder why people don’t call God’s 811 before they start digging?”

Number One

Posted on July 9, 2012July 9, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
When you meet your God
What will you do
When you meet your God
Will you have… bladder control
Will the number one run all down your leg
As you go, will it flow into your shoe?

When you meet your God
What will you do
When you meet your God
Will you have… bladder control
Will the number one roll all down your leg
As you go, will it flow into your shoe?
What will you do?
What if your God is watching right now?

#1 .mp3

ABOUT THIS SONG
B / E

Recorded on July 8, 2012. It is the third song from the album Baby Formula. The second song, Membrane, was about physiological flaws in humans. This song questions whether your bladder control will become impaired from physiological or spiritual flaws. It is meant to blend into the fourth song 811. It is meant to be an ironic statement about people who think they are #1, but when the pressure is on they go #1 in their pants.

Membrane

LYRICS
The inability to sieve
The inability to see
Can prevent one from what they can be

The inability to sieve
The inability to differentiate

Membrane .mp3

ABOUT THIS SONG
C / Cm

Recorded on the night of July 7 and early morning July 8, 2012. It is the second song for the album about the meaning of life called Baby Formula. The first song, In God We Trust, was about the flawless reproduction of humans; however, sometimes something goes wrong and genes are flawed. Why? For instance, some people are colorblind, while other “normal” people choose not to see.

LYRICS
Coin a phrase
Reproduction without flaw

Reproduction without flaw
The human formula

ABOUT THIS SONG
Key of C

Recorded on the night of July 7, 2012. It is the first song for the album about the meaning of life called Baby Formula. One of my great ancestors was responsible for putting the phrase “In God We Trust” on U.S. currency. Similar to how a mint reproduces flawless currency, God reproduces flawless humans.

Writing the Guitar for *In A Fog* at Ocean City, NJ

LYRICS
What? Are you living in a fog?
The children’s eyes pop through the mist
Try to start living with your head out of the clouds

Your vision — unclog
No opportunity missed
Its’ time to start screaming THE TRUTH loud out loud

Writing the Lyrics for *In A Fog* at Ocean City, NJ

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 2
E / A / G

Written and recorded on July 6, 2012 in Ocean City, New Jersey. It was the eighth day of heat wave… even the beach was brutal. Then, at about 5PM, this strange fog started rolling in. As I was writing the music, I could see the eyes of children popping out of the mist. It made me think how great it is that kids don’t live in a fog… with their heads in the clouds.

A Care

Posted on July 6, 2012July 7, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Have you ever wondered
If there’s anyone who cares
No need to ponder
That’s why I’m making you aware

Thanks for making me aware that you’re there
For now, the time on Earth we share
You don’t need to feel alone
We occupy the same home
As well as, the closest star
Just reach out… I’m there

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 6
A / A9 / A add G
Em / A

Written and recorded in Ocean City, New Jersey on July 6, 2012. It is about the feeling you get when you play music for people… especially when you do it for free… just because you care. It is amazing how many people befriend you when make music for them.

A Happy Ending

Posted on July 6, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
What will be your part
When it’s time to depart
What will be the message you send
When you reach your end?

What did you will in your will
Will it serve to help people still
Did you pay off your debt, yet
Let your hair down
Did you care to share your crown
Let it all hang out
Tell the truth what love’s about
Did you care to leave no regret
Or, like an ass
Did you leave nothing behind
Well, it’s not too late
Don’t let another day pass
You can be nice. You can be kind.
Just don’t wait till your post mortem

Did you wish for a wonder?
No wonder… it’s here
Did you wonder about a two-for?
Do you wish it here?

Dream a dream

Wonder if I can do it again?
And, then
It will just happen

Poof Bang Pow Wow
Pow-wow of the spirits hear it

LYRICS
Ya know I am going out on a limb
I really am
Going out on a limb

Maybe I should disquise this hymn
As a her
I’m not sure

Don’t want any preconceived notion
To #$ck up the communication

Rather not use a ladder at all
Rather be equal… just as tall

Talking Jibber Jazz

Posted on July 3, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve seen
Medicine Men applying the Love Remedy
You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve been
Girls dressing my gender before I get to see
Taking me on the road of hilarity

Oh, oh, yeah Da hummina hummina yeeha
Ha, ha, hee n’ a razamanaza
Takin’ jibber jazz

Taking the Bear for a walk
Listening to the people play
Listening to the Jibber Jazz talk
Wishing we could stay stay stay
Flying overhead – the people hawk
Listening to us pray in our own way
Getting 72 hours in a day

Band and band
Cooperating
Hand in hand
Man and woman
cohabiting
Gland in gland

Rage in front of the main stage
With a tripping hippie menagerie
Dance the night away
’till the blue alert sends darkness astray

I Am Melting

Posted on June 20, 2012June 20, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
chorus:
I’m melting, melting, melting
Literally, melting
My skin is smoldering
My eyes are dry
I’m melting

how much can a human endure
We’re about to find out
(That’s for sure)

If your lips aren’t too dry
Can you shout it out?
(Come on. Give it a try)

Human induced climate change
An experiment in our ability
(in our “are” ability)
To re-arrange

Restore
The natural order

Neutral nature
The Balancing Queen
Neutral nature
Is never mean

If you were seeing
What the pollution is doing
You’d quit that habit

If you were aware
Of what’s in your air
You’d stop breathing

Lance the invincible
Tackle the impossible

LYRICS
The mother of nature
The father of time
Eventually
Nothing is “mine”

Rest assured
It’s the nature of Mother Nature
Guaranteed with certainty
As in – For Sure!
No need to be insured
It’s your life
For as long as it can be endured

Don’t let the Grim Reaper
Cut you like a knife
Don’t be Snow White sleeper
Make spontaneity your wife

Dance through your days
Dance all your nights
Smile all the which ways
Smiles bring delights
