LYRICS
To the graduating class of 2014
I hope you know what it will mean
Getting to 2015
Graduated
Arranged in a series… according to a scale
Graduated
Categorized theories… evolutionary tale
To the graduating class of 2015
I hope you know what it will mean
To be alive and on the scene
To the graduating class of 2016
I hope you know what it will mean
Avoiding “one with the machine”
To the graduating class of 2017
I hope you know what it will mean
If the powers come clean
To the graduating class of 2018
I hope you know what it will mean
To still convene
To the graduating class of 2019
I hope you know what it will mean
To live out a dream
To the graduating class of 2020
Isn’t hindsight always
2020
The blind see days
2020
The lost find ways

LYRICS
Before I can wonder if the peace will cease
The ponder changes to can I get a second lease
Poof! There it goes….
Before I can flounder like a fish out of water
The scoundrel launders scivvies of daughters
Poof! There it goes….
When the induction of corruption seeps into your life
What you wouldn’t do for putty and putty knife
Poof! There it goes….

LYRICS
Putting what’s right in the light
Can’t say black’s in the gray
Doing harm out of spite
Frolic about as we may
… as we might
Don’t go “But, what do I know?”
We know what’s wrong and right
Don’t go “But, what do I know?”
We know the essence of difference
Yielding daylight contrasting night
Providing freedom for us to say
Giving justly without slight
Thankful for each and every day

LYRICS
It’s the matter of “is”
There I was just sitting… minding my own business
When the voice from above spoke to me
“Why would anyone want tranquility?”
There’d be no satisfaction in habitation
There’d be no thrill in the strive to stay alive
Just try to not let the thrill overspill and kill
How can I stay sitting in the business of success
Balancing the scale between worthless and excess
On this day, I heard Her say to me
“You know my availability?”
I’m aware you’re always there
“Record this for all posterity”
I won’t rest ’till I do my best

LYRICS
They use to tune in, turn on
Find out about dropping out
Of the rat race
What’s your case to partake in the rat race?
The movers and shaker
Tend to be the fakers
Not to say we shouldn’t set the pace
Not dead… looking in from outer space
Train your brain for the haze of the maze
Much to our surprise we have x-ray eyes
I can see right through
And, you can, too
X-ray I’s

LYRICS
Do you find the world
… spinning round and round
Helps to hold you down
Are you lost in space
… never to be found
The physics of the heretics
Is ripping us all to bits
Is down to earth
Really what it’s worth
A fetal position — curled
Better off to lace
Your soul amongst the space

LYRICS
Though the sky had turned gray
There was a ray that found its way
A beam of sunlight
That might brighten the day
Despite in spite
Enlighten the fight
The strife of life
Shine on what’s right
Cut through like a knife
Rescue us now
Save us all somehow
Funnel to the light at the end of the tunnel
Our souls shimmer as you glimmer

LYRICS
Soooo….
This guy who told me he’d be Mayor walks by with a smirk on his face
While this other guy walks by as he’s giving me money, says “This is an insult. I wish I had more to give.”
Which way would you want to live?
Which one has better taste
Which one is less a waste
Which one is wasting space
His 2 cents x 8 +1
Where do you want your soul to run
Grow to know the flow… +1
A dime, some time
A nickle (thinkin’ Lincoln)
and my two cents
… two sense

LYRICS
When I stepped outside
… tell ya I ain’t lying…
I really, really, really thought I saw a lion
Chorus
Maybe a figment of my imagination
But certainly not an exaggeration
When I stepped outside
… tell ya it was a jungle…
All this political mumbo jumble
Chorus
When I stepped outside
… tell ya no place to hide…
Spreading diarrhea like some kind of panacea
Chorus
When I stepped outside
… tell ya looked into my hide…
Look deep inside… no place for hate to reside
Chorus
When I stepped outside
… tell ya I ain’t lying…
I really, really, really thought I saw a lion

LYRICS
God bless the world… we sure need some
A dressing of Christmas blessing
For all men
The play has begun. The work is done.
A confessing and a blessing
For all men
God save the scene. It’s grown to mean.
A blessing of peace and understanding
For all men
The play has begun. The curtain hung.
The Age of the “world is a stage”
For all men

LYRICS
What you grow long could get cut short
Live life all along before your abort
No matter your circumstance
You can see it through
Yes splatter your conscious
Just like the morning dew
Sunset scene seen threw [sic] to the sunrise
Arise children of the sun — surmise
Is the end of your beginning the beginning of your end
In the long run, what message will your dust send?
