Songwriting at the 1st Amendment Monument Under the Eye of Authority

LYRICS
You can’t smoke
You can’t drink
They’re passing a law — you can’t think

You can’t toke
Doesn’t oppression stink?
Placing the last straw
You can’t even blink

Chorus
America!
Home of the free and brave?
America!
Or are we now the slave?

The bloated bloke
Greased palm and a wink
Causing a flaw
And more than one kink

Chorus

Life On Earth

Posted on October 25, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Can’t help but notice
How nice it is to live
Say it once. Say it twice —
How nice it is to live

Chorus
Shout it from the rooftops
“Pray it never ever stops!”
Help our species to thrive
So that we may stay alive

Start to realize
How nice it is to live
Awake! Open up eyes
How nice it is to live

Chorus

Thanks, God, that you give
Us all a chance to live
Thank the Lord what we’ve
Been given a chance to live

Birthday Cake Recipe.mp3

LYRICS
It’s time to season the season
With the spice of life
Add a slice with no strife
Mouth waterin’… heart pleasin’

Find a reason with reason
A taste of good taste
No crumb going to waste
Mouth waterin’… heart pleasin’
Take a bite. I ain’t teasin’

Sprinkle some love on lovin’
Add a dash of comfort and joy
The all age perfect toy
For your holiday season
Add a dash of comfort and joy
A perfect toy for every girl and boy

See The Sea Serpent

Oarfish Washed Ashore in California — Sea Serpent Washed Ashore in California

LYRICS
Sea lion devastation
Dolphins beached again
What’s the solution
The ocean solution

Are you sure
There’re sea serpents washing ashore
Once more
Are you sure
There’re sea serpents washing ashore

Crustacean radiation
Pollution. Extinction.
What’s the solution
The ocean solution

Save the whale — fail
Coral reef — disbelief
What’s the solution
The ocean solution

See The Sea Serpent.mp3

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Capo 4
Am Em Am7
D G Am

This song was inspired over the tragedies occurring in our seas. Massive sea lion deaths in the West, and massive dolphin deaths in the East… the radiation leaking into the Pacific from Japan… Greenpeace trying to stop Japan from killing whales… while trying to protect the North sea, getting jailed by Russians… then, sea serpents washing up on the beaches.

Taking Music to the Streets

Posted on October 23, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Taking music to the streets
To the rhythm of heartbeats
The ears that it meats
Melts souls into treats

In my mind, tryin’ to find the kind
Tryin’ to be the kind to remind
Tryin’ to find the kind kind

Where the strong become meek
And the meek get a streak
Beauty embraces the freak
Love’s pinnacle we reach

Chorus

Letting the spirit hear it
Logic is coherent
The presence of hate — absent
The meaning of love — is meant

Chorus

Beast Released

Posted on October 23, 2013October 23, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Once the beast’s released
He’s hard to get leashed

He’ll run around the yard
A chicken… no head
Up the sleeve a card
Bitchin’… inbred?

The more you chase
The more evasive
‘tellin you
The more you pursue
The more about-face
Like water through sieve
Fair adieu

Once the beast’s released
He’s hard to get leashed

Flagged

Posted on October 21, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
There’s a flag blowin’ in the wind
Do you know where it’s been?
The stars and stripes through the perilous night
Let’s get it right

Make sure it’s what it’s suppose to be
If you really ever want to be free

There’s a dog howlin’ at the moon
Feels the end is coming soon
Time to wake up and fight a better fight
Let’s get it right

Make sure it’s what it’s suppose to be
If you really ever want to be free

There’s a man with head in hands
Trying to grasp… no one understands
Time to make-up and light what is right
Out of sight

Make sure it’s what it’s suppose to be
If you really ever want to be free

Shake Your Money Maker

Posted on October 21, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Go on now shake your money maker
Gotta make those coins sing
Come on now make givers of takers
Turn it into a Sunday thing

Chorus
It’s funny how this human race is run
When someone’s lost, how can anyone have won?
And, the band played on under the sun
[alternative verse: Enjoy turning takers to givers… just for fun]

Go on now make your money shake Her
Gotta make those angels sing
Come on now make givers of livers
It’ll never be a mundane thing

Chorus

LYRICS
Where did everyone go?
Where did everyone go
Look around, look around, look around
I don’t know

Thought we’d have some fun
But, I just don’t know
Look around, no one’s found, none around
ohhhhhhhh no!

Repeat

Nice to have a fan
Pleased to meet you, Dan

Look around, look around, look around
Fans stand! Make a stand. Fan stand.
Look around plenty to be found
In sight
Unite
Insight unite
In sight
Unite

Damage Age

Posted on October 18, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
The Damage Age
Is making it’s mark
Takin’ the blue view
And turning it dark

Don’t be so subtle
Well, Turtle
Pull your head form your shell

Start trashin’ fashion
Of greed and hate
Shine love from above
The world can not wait

De-ostracize
Dear, Ostrich
And pull your head from the sand

State, “In the end it just can’t wait!”

Feed the seed to succeed

Logic Left

Posted on October 17, 2013October 20, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Don’t you regret
There’s no logic left
When you shoot yourself in the foot
After giving yourself the boot

Don’t you regret
There’s no logic left
Certainty requires no bet
Risk is negated — daft

Don’t you regret
There’s no logic left
Should’ve had a safety net
Oh my God, there’s been a theft

Don’t you regret
There’s no logic left

LYRICS
It is what it is
There ain’t no arguin’
Fact is in fact fact
… good place to begin

How long has man
Made an upright stand
What do we go to war for?
Repeat, repeat
Same mistake again and again
That dumb?
We don’t even know
Which way to go

How come are we really that dumb?
