LYRICS
Can’t really miss
Can’t really miss with an opportunity such as this
Could be once in a lifetime
Prospecting the goldmine
It’s about time you get your nugget
Looks like it’s your lucky day… wouldn’t ya say?
From the lion’s paw pull the thorn
Get yourself re-born

LYRICS
If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population
“General Population reporting for duty, Sir.
From my naivety you may infer!”
If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population
Not on my leg using your urine
Not through some giant money siphon
More like firin’ up the horizon
The enlighten siren
Sirens of silence
Falling on deaf ears
Sirens of silence
Playing out our fears
If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population
Not the ice that’s crashing into the sea
Not the smog foggin’ up what I see
Not ozone in the wind a blowin’
Not ebola in the gut growin’
You’d think these would all make a fine sign
Nooooo… we pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
We’re taking the free trial of denial for certain
Sirens of silence
Falling on deaf ears
Sirens of silence
Playing out our fears

LYRICS
Just calm your ass down?
Calm YOUR ass down
Don’t-cha think it’s be better
If we were all the class clown?
Calm your ass down
Sorrows? Let ’em drown
180 degrees on the frown
Let it be shown you’ve grown
Won’t let this opportunity be blown
Be the driver… know where you’re goin’

LYRICS
How could this be?
I can’t believe what I see
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t believe what I see
I am bleeding from my I’s
War, poverty, disease… no more please
Oh my goodness, dear
I fear what it is I hear
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t believe what I hear
It’s the politicians that I fear
War, poverty, disease… no more please
This social disease is beat
I’ve gotta get off my seat
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t let these events pass
I am bleeding from my…
But,
[The elected orifice officials chime in “but, but, but”]
War, poverty, disease… no more please
Out-rageous
Out-of-control

LYRICS
You want to talk about the bully?
The fact of the matter is… there is no bully
No Boogie Man
’cause there’s no such thing as the Boogie Man
No Boogie Man
Is he underneath your bed
Or is he just in your head
Gotta stand up
Is he underneath your bed
Or is he just in your head
You can make him dead
Be the bully of the Boogie Man
There ain’t no such thing as a bully
There ain’t no such thing as a Boogie Man
Don’t be afraid of the dark
Just be the spark
Set the world alight
Alright!
If you thought
Thought not
Been the victim of a bully?
I don’t suggest you become him
But, I’m… I am….
That you….
[Stomp on the
Don’t Tread On Me]
Victim
The less of him
I? It’s justified

LYRICS
Should I go over there and ask her to dance
Take that chance?
Don’t want to come off as some jerk that wants to twerk
Why? I don’t want to be that guy
Want to be next to you in shinning armor
(Maybe even arm in arm… or….)
Should I take a chance and ask her to dance?
Not gonna hassle by asking to hustle
Not even to do the bump
(Might be going to far if we bump rumps)
Should I take a chance and ask her to dance?
Should I go over there and say do you care…
To dance
Would don’t need to slow dance
We don’t need to go that far
We can just get into our own space
And understand at most… just hold a hand
Should I take that chance
Go over there and ask her to dance
“Do you care to dance
I thought I saw you cast a glance
Would you care to dance?”
Should I go over there
(Instead of sitting here with a blank stare)

LYRICS
Pipe down and listen up!
They say change is going to come
They say change is on the wing
Won’t that be such a funny thing
’cause somehow the funny now is none
Girl, maybe we better run
Head west… out run the setting sun
Be no rest ’till we pass the test
Chasin’ change before we’re undone

Don’t you think we oughta twerk the clerk

And it’s coming to a town near you

LYRICS
The challenge of the challenged
Where idiots dictate as hypocrite
Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
To your birth on Earth
The fools are king-of-the-hill
Where there’s motivation, they’ll kill
Oh my God! Down this path do we plod?
Blind leading blind leading unkind leading unkind
For heaven’s sake! Don’t we know what’s at stake
If at the wheel, we could only stay awake

Anticipation
I just can’t wait
Anticipation
Out of the gate
Through hesitation
To penetration
Cease cessation
Seize elation
Coordination
Walking a tight rope
Eternal damnation
Consider the scope
Elevation
Taking it higher
Light. Combustion
We’re on fire

(The Grinch That Stole The Christmas Blues)
LYRICS
You’re never alone on Christmas
Isn’t that what it’s all about?
Feeling lonely is only if you miss
The essence of the Christmas presence
Let’s figure it out?
The love will always be there, I swear
As long as there’s someone…
As long as there’s anyone…
As long as someone cares
That someone could be you
Lord, lordy, Lord, Lord, lordy
Lord, with you…. make two
And, as far as I can see
There’s me
(… that’s three…)
For crying out loud — A CROWD!
Singing Merry Christmas, Almighty
Bless you for taking pity
And, keeping me company

LYRICS
An abominable snowman
Part creature… part man
The part abominable
Most probable
Man
Abominable… causing moral revulsion
Diversion, subversion, exclusion
Time for the inclusion solution
Let’s hope humanity can bounce back
After our ethical attack
Pushed ourselves over the cliff
Mostly over a religious riff
The penalty… swift and stiff
Time to be humble
Overcome our bumble
Do what counts
Do the bumble bounce
ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — F# / G
Daniel — Vocals, Guitar, Synthesizers (All instruments played simultaneously and extemporaneously.)
“Christians are the most widely persecuted religious group in the world today and this evening we think especially of the Middle East, especially of Egypt, Iraq and Syria,” The Archbishop of Canterbury, Christmas, 2013
This song was inspired by the travesty of religious conflicts and killings during 2013. Unfortunately, the list is too long to list… Shiite, Sunni, Armenians, Christian, Buddhists, Dinka, Nuer, Beni Hussein, Rizeigat, Jews, Muslims… in Syria, Israel, Burma, South Sudan, Central African Republic, Nigeria, Turkey, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq… and on and on. Let’s pray we can bounce back.
