LYRICS
When the big bad wolf comes knockin’ again
Will rational resume… a civil civilization begin?
If we could only find some anthropomorphic humans
All we can find are sapiens acting like aliens
A little off-colored… don’t know what hue means
They don’t know no rainbow
Anthropomorphism illusion
Playing the part of a loon in a cartoon
When the big bad wolf comes knockin’ again
Gonna huff and puff and blow your door in
I went to two parties… elephant and donkey
The elephant couldn’t remember… really…
What to do? The water they could see
(They couldn’t even get to the part where they think about making him drink?)
You can’t even lead an ass to water?
You oughta’ at least avoid the slaughter
When the big bad wolf comes knockin’ again
A two party system as one lame duck… what the #uck? What a sin!
Who do you think I am
The sacrificial lamb?
Maybe I should let the wolf in…
Could be a win-win
Letting the meat meet defeat
3 little pigs
Wearing powdered wigs
Fat cats and pigs
A common man’s treat

LYRICS
Do you want to be out of it
Do you want to be into it
Or would you rather be in the thick
Introspective
Or out-of-body experience?
Resurrected
Or aberrational appearance
Do you think it is a trick
Do you think to think quick
Or miss your chance to be in the thick

LYRICS
With your mind’s eye
Fly through the sky
Let the wind lift your angelic wings
With your mind’s eye
Fly across the sky
Relish what your good fortune brings
Cherished cherub
Gabriel, do tell
Uplift… swift flight
Pray you might enlight
Insight and understanding
Righteousness everlasting
Seventy “sevens”
Sent from the heavens
My children’s, children’s, children’s, children’s, children’s, children
Seventy “sevens”
Said by the heavens
For mortal men to learn their lessons
The end coming like a flood
Anointed One’s blood
Abomination that causes desolation
Until the end that is decreed pours out of me

The Seventy “Sevens”
9:20 While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and making my request to the Lord my God for his holy hill— 21 while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. 22 He instructed me and said to me, “Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding. 23 As soon as you began to pray, a word went out, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. Therefore, consider the word and understand the vision:
24 “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.
25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.

LYRICS
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
How long will we hesitate?
It’s too late… too, too late to…
Jump the gun
In a race long begun
We’re under the falling sun
Should’ve left the starting line
Far behind
Slopping like a swine
Bovine mind
Somehow thinking like a cow
In a race long begun
Under the setting sun
Jump! The gun.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7, wait?!?!
We should have left the starting gate
8,7,6,5,4,3,2…
Blasted off long before, too
6,5,4,3,2,1,0…
Been long gone, ya know?
The starting gun has sounded
The final bend being rounded
While we’re still bound to the ground
They’ve found their way around

LYRICS
When they throw Daniel in…
Me into the den
I feel you next to me
Lion there next to me
Lying there next to me
I feel you next to me

“May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”
Rescue you
[Daniel 5]
The Writing on the Wall
Feared by all
Never say never Nebuchadnezzar
Suddenly the fingers appeared
and wrote on the plaster of the wall
All feared
Never say never Nebuchadnezzar
His heart became arrogant
Hardened with pride,
He was deposed
Stripped of his glory… driven away… given the mind of an animal
Lived with the wild donkeys… ate grass like the ox
Heaven’s gates lock
mene, mene, tekel, parsin
Your days are numbered
The writing on the wall
Your days are numbered
Total… in all
Encumbered
[Daniel 6]
They say you can’t pray
A month to the day
They say you can’t pray
No deal
No repeal
Did you not see the decree

Daniel 6:15 Then the men went as a group to King Darius and said to him, “Remember, Your Majesty, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed.”
16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”
17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed.

LYRICS
I took a bowel movement when out of my lips
Irrational drip, drip, drips
Like a cruel drool
A self-disembowelment movement
Kamikaze suicide bomber
Better off proceeding a lil’ calmer….
Less you be hara-kiri jihad clad
Better off happy rather than mad
Since the point-of-view is up to you
If you don’t like your groove
Move
Unless you’re trying to prove
You’d be better off dead
Heed what the prophet said
If you don’t like your groove
Move
Trying to take God into your hands
Just goes to prove you don’t understand
Your sticks and stones
Break our bones
But our names never hurt you
And, when you pray say, “Alas, Allah, I beg you not to be as ignorant and arrogant as me, too.”
Trying to take God into your hands
Just goes to prove you don’t understand
Does the Pope poop in the woods… of course he would
Can’t you see… that joke is as old as Moses’ toes and twice as corny

Are you saving all your loving for a rainy day
Well, hey, hey, hey, do you know what they say
Give it away! Keep the clouds at bay!
Let your love shine, shine away
Did you say that you pray for deliverance day
Well, hey, hey, hey, did you hear what they say
Get your heaven on earth during this birth
Let your love shine, shine away
I believe the more you give the more you receive
And, hey, hey, hey, be the one to say
Live our lives full of mirth for what it’s worth

LYRICS
I have grave concerns about your graven concerns…
Just because I draw a picture of you
Doesn’t mean it’s of a graven view
The last thing I would want to do
Is worship anything to do with you
The only thing made of wood or stone
Appears to be the contents of your headbone
Why don’t you back off and leave it alone
Gather your marbles and head on home
Having a prophet profit fit
Isn’t helping matters the slightest bit
So go on doggie… get along… git’
Before world religions suffer another hit
What are you some sort-of buffoon?
Torah, Bible, Quran mention no cartoon
Peace and understanding happen none to soon
When the overlords of religion loom

Blacksmith and the artist, reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity, closer to the heart, closer to the heart

To sew a new mentality, closer to the heart, closer to the heart
Oh, you can be the captain, and I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny, closer to the heart

LYRICS
When you shoot-up unarmed cartoonists
Blood flows like wine… time to draw the line
Our attitude forever persists
Oui we! Not fine… the line’s been drawn
A defiance to carry-on
When the French get fried… the French are toast
The true get tried and make the most
When The End Of Times are upon
Oui we! Not fine… the line’s been drawn
A defiance to carry-on
(whistling solo)
Viva la viva la song and dance
Time to give free speech a chance
What the extreme deem as obscene
Makes it obvious they don’t know what they mean
Oui we… a new dawn
From a defiance to carry-on

ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 3

Daniel — Vocals, Guitar
Inspired by the lack of whine in France, a post by a friend about “unarmed cartoonists” and a BBC commentators observation of “a defiance to carry-on”. The song is about the positive attitude after cartoonists at the magazine Charlie Hebdo were murdered by terrorists.
