Writing the song Good Rid INs
Songwriting at Occupy Philadelphia

Capo 4
I’m thinking of how to rid IN
The coldness of inJustIce ice
May the thaw begin
Pray (that) the Awe win
Get it out
From within
Rid the IN
Bid the IN
A fair adieu
Will you?

Rid the IN from INjustice!

It’s O.K.
OK, OK?

Don’t let ’em darken your day
It’s O.K.
OK, OK?

Don’t let ’em dampen your day
It’s O.K.
OK, OK?

The sun is on the cusp
The end of the tunnel
Freeing soul and mental
Letting light shine on us

Capo 2
Bm / dim

Black clouds rollin’ in
There’s an evil wind a blowin’
And, I ask again:
Why spoil the soul
With awful?
In the long run
It’ll take it’s toll
Anti-fun never won
Prove the fool your roll
The AnthonE Calamity

If you think you’re stuck
Between a rock and a hard place
Retrace
The steps of your future
To see how you make it out

It’s far-out
How you can see
What steps to take
There’s no doubt
You can get free
Make what you make
Of it
All depends
What we make
Of it
All depends
What we make
Of it

Create the flow… go!

Music written in West Chester and Philadelphia.
Lyrics written at 2nd and Chestnut Streets, Old City, Philadelphia while I sat against the “Corn Exchange Bank”. The chorus came about when a man that appeared to be homeless approached me… and gave me a dollar.

bookmark_borderIrene’s A B#$%&

This song is based on Hurricane Irene. I was suppose to play a Bob Marley festival… but, it was canceled due to Atlantic City being under a mandatory evacuation. When I explained my situation to a fan, he said, “Irene’s a bitch.”

Capo 4
F#

Ole Lady leery
Left her lantern in the shed
When the how kicked it over
She winked her I and said,
“If ya know what i mean
My names Irene
Gonna be gnarly
Sorry, no Marely.”

So, we played all night
Into the day
Play, play, play
We played into the rain
The spirit will remain

A tidal surge
Irie sea
Love splurge
See irie

B dim / Bm

Are you ready
For a new day
Are you ready
For a new way

A new age
A new view
From a new sage
Are you

A new interpretation from a new sage
’cause ready or not
Hear it comes
Add your figures
Check the sums

Are you
Ready for a new view
Where you take YOUrself
Out of you
And, see you
The real you
Are you?

Surf’s up
Are you ready to ride
No place to hide
No sense to run
Might as well ride

Have you heard the word
Pick up a sword
We’ll slice our way to a new day

bookmark_borderFault Line

Follow the fault line
Where does it lead?
Is it yours
Is it mine
Follow back
To the beginning of time

Follow the fault line
And, where does it lead
Right here
To the land of greed

What is it we’re trying to make
A giant quake to obliterate the meek
Seek the source of the fault line

bookmark_borderAngels Of Justice

Capo 3 (play like and Em for a G. take index and middle fingers back and forth across the fret)

We’re here
To document crime
Past, present and future

We’re hear
Subtle. Sublime.
To serve Her nature

Listen. Absorb.
Law is
Her nature
is judge
Justice balance
Will naturally occur
I of nature
And of Her
Eye of nature
Nurture
