LYRICS
So
What’s the problem
So
I don’t know
First you clobber ’em
Then rob ’em
Before you #uck ’em?
What’s my problem
That’s my problem
What’s the problem
I try to solve ’em
Watch that puzzle
Fizzle
Ya, what’s the problem
So
You don’t know?
Solution
Revolution
Going on in my mind
How to be kind
It’s the revolution
Solution
In my mind
Try n’ be kind

LYRICS
It’s looking a little dangerous
For all of us
It’s looking a little dangerous
For all of us
Soon enough
You’ll discover why the fuss
’cause it’s dangerous
For all of us
It’s getting a little too dangerous
I think we’re on the cusp
You say why the rush… why the fuss
I’m telling ya… it’s dangerous
For all of us
Perhaps we had better focus
On what’s ahead of us
On what’s confronting us
Before we’re thrown under the bus
Ya know… before we pop like a pimple’s puss
Implode, explode in the commode
Going round and round and down and round
A royal flush
Hush, hush, hush
Dangerous, dangerous
Dangerous for all of us
Both of us
Me and you
Everybody that’s around, too
If you are within listening distance
And you can hear what I have to say
Well, this could be the day
It’s dangerous for all of us
Before somebody pulls the plug
A big group hug
LYRICS
Does anybody share the care
Is anybody there
Do you care to share
Does anybody anywhere share the care
Please let me know you’re out there
Do you have a concern about the level of care
That you can see anyone anywhere share
Or is it just all wrapped up in selfish
Selfish like some sort-of shellfish
The happy clam that I am
Don’t you think it would be fair
If we all learned to share the care
Don’t you think it would be alright
If we all gained some insight
Saw the light
See the light
Be the light
“We” the light

LYRICS
We’re in step
To the promised land
In a marching band
A reggae… funky reggae marching band
Pick up a flute or pickup a lute
A mandolin or violin
Pick up whatever you can get into
We’re getting in step
Left right it’s alright
Left right left right
We left left right
Left left for right
We’re getting in step
With a reggae marching band
In step to thee promised land
If you want to joins hands
Hand in hand in step to the promised land
This marching reggae band
This reggae marching band
LYRICS
Check, check…
Check this out
This is a song
It’s the soundcheck for the song
That we’re hoping to call “the party”
It’s a ska tune at 128 beats per minute
We’re working with this new Vox effects… pedal thing… we got it kinda for free at Sam Ash… it’s called the Vox Tone Lab… and it’s like C
If you wanna be free… the boogie… and, just doesn’t do it for we
Children going round and round
It’s getting down, down, down
To me
To me
Once we put the other further
Less and less will suffer
I can feel you….
And, you can, too
Then, you can see
You contribute to me
And, I to you, too
And, we sing in harmony
Once we see harmony
Harm no me
When you get down to the bass
The bass in the lower space
The bass takes over the lower space
The mid’s in middle
Not much of a riddle
Once the pieces fall together
(Feels natural)
Don’t ask why
Don’t let the middle pass by
And, the high
For you and I
When you get down to the bass
The basics
Of the music
Don’t let the high pass by
Once you get down to the basics
Of the music
It’s not a riddle of the middle
The basics of the music
It was originally titled the Party because of political parties… but, I forgot that part once the soundcheck started. I liked the soundcheck enough to just keep it. Anyway, it’s more about getting the parts of music together rather than governments. What the heck, feel free to take it either way.

LYRICS
You thought that one day you’d save
It’s just one day closer to your grave
I hope it’s not a grave… mistake
Mama told you… you had to learn how to behave
And you’re just step… one step closer to your grave
… one day closer to your grave
(Jam)
Do you want to be on the lathe
Everyday a little more shave, shave, shave
As you get one day closer to your grave
Could be a grave mistake
Think that you want to save, save, save, save
Save the day?
One step closer to your grave
So what?
Don’t let it drive you nuts
One day closer
One day closer to your….
(Bass Jam)
Less you become your own slave
You’ve only got so many days to behave
And you’re the slave of how you behave
You’re just one day closer to your grave
One day closer… to your grave
Don’t let it be a grave mistake
Don’t let your life… don’t let it take, take, take
Your life away
Livin’ every day
No regret that it’s closer
Never forget one day closer
To your grave
It would be a grave mistake
So, 88-98% of corn, cotton (cotton oil–as in what a lot of potato chips are cooked in), canola oil, and soybean crops grown are genetically engineered. About 80% of the crops are to feed livestock. So what evolution has taken 3 billion years to create, humankind can destroy in 40 years. Maybe that’s the plan, to kill off our own kind to revert back to the beginning, with a little plastic and holes in the ozone as a special bonus. Kudos, Homo sapiens. We’ve really “outdone” ourselves.
LYRICS
What is it that I walk upon?
I wish we had the insight to look on and on and on
And, we found the ground
Underneath our feet
Are we going to be our own defeat?
What is that that I breath
Has the air gone up in thin air
Is there something more than just our air in there
What is it we breath
Are we our own disease?
Will we beat
Into defeat
Will we beat
Our own defeat
What is that in our food
Is it any good
What we eat
Are we our own defeat?
I don’t think we can cheat Mother Nature
It’s us we beat into defeat
We’re going to beat ourselves into defeat
And, I would say it’s time to change the seat
This game of musical chairs is going nowhere
I don’t want to be the last one standing
It won’t be any fun if I’m the only one that does remain
It might even drive you insane
LYRICS
What are you doing today?
Do you have anything better than to play
And, Jah the day away
What are you doing today?
What are you doing with your life
If you want to come this way… there’s less strife
We can do some things
We can make a song everybody sings
We can Jah the day away
What do you say?
If you’ve got something better to do
Like pay your past due
Well, if it’s past due
I suggest you do
Take care of that first
Then, quench your thirst
We can celebrate with a little champagne
A little bubbly-wubbly
Would be due to you when you pay your due
Then, you can come back through
And, Jah the day away
We can Jah the day away
We can love and pray
We can Jah the day away

Written and recorded on September 3, 2012 in Chester County, Pennsylvania. It is about the power of smiling. There are been studies that prove actively smiling can improve your health and happiness. It makes me smile just thinking about it 🙂
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.”

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
