LYRICS
You may want to be careful with what it is you say
For a fool blurts it out removing all doubt
A mother would always say
“If you don’t have anything nice to say,
Don’t say anything at all.”
Subtle as a cannon ball
Why not just give way…
Save it for another day

Time to get back to schoolin’ for foolin’
Prompt something kind to come to mind
Thennnn… shout it out
That’s what I’m talkin’ about

What the world needs today is a lil’ more love
Let’s see if we all can rise above
Put more sanity into our reality
And, see shining from sea to shining sea
(shining from sea to shining see shining from sea to shining see)

Music is the blood serum
Music runs thick
Like a flood of blood

When heaven and earth collide
… hope I’m along for the ride
They say it happened on Christmas Day
Maybe we can get it to stay that way

When heaven and earth collide
Angels sing as they cry
Tears of Holy joy supplied
The place is here… the time is nigh

I think the remedy
Is for you to get up and boogie
With me

No sense livin’ in tragedy
Much better off living happily

LYRICS
The blind man picked up the hammer… and saw….
Hitting the nail right on the head, he said,
“How can you ever think we’d be better of dead?”

Can everybody see
The greed, violence and poverty
Is complete and utter social insanity

Institution of pollution
In search of a selfish solution
Results in our own eradication
(Let alone eternal damnation)

‘I see’ said the blind man to his deaf and dumb daughter
Did you hear, here we’re in this together
We can break free of blind leading the blind
Put humanity back into you humans by being kind

LYRICS
Abomination
A black-eyed nation
Finding ourselves
In a sticky situation

Doing the same thing over and over agin’
Thinkin’… this time it won’t be the same
That’s just insane
Doing the same crime throughout time
Stuck in a rut of the moral lame
Slain our own brain

Appropriation
Of the Indian nation
Finding ourselves
In a sticky situation

Hypocrites fighting agin’ immigration
Thinkin’ we’ll be the ones to survive a purification
Hallucination
But yes indeed through our greed we succeed
In winning the war on self-mutilation
Degradation

ABOUT THE SONG

Em C D Em

This song is about hating hate. I’ve been assaulted by the police more times than anyone I know. I’ve been assaulted by police in Montgomery County, Chester County and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I’ve witnessed police and federal agencies assaulting people in many more locals. It has never been about race. After reading a bunch of racist posts about police brutality and corruption, I go on to read hate posts about immigration. Hello, Earthlings?!?! Is there anyone home? (Still no sign of intelligent life.)

The video features articles, pictures and footage of police intimidation, police brutality and police corruption by The Doylestown Police Department, The Whitpain Township Police Department, The Lower Providence Police Department, The West Chester Police Department, The Philadelphia Police Department, Homeland Security, U.S. Fish And Wildlife, U.S. Park Rangers and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

LYRICS
Cinderella says, “You’re an ordinary fella…
If the shoe fits, wear it.”

What are we gonna do
When the human-centric view
Gets thrown to askew
’cause of all we do

What are we gonna do
When it all comes true
From many to a few
’cause of all we do

Looks like we’re in this together
Stuck together for forever
The question is whether
Forever is over

As it so happens The End Of Times rhymes

LYRICS
Not swallowed…
Not swallowed by the shadows
By the riff-raff of who knows
Not swallowed

Not follow, hollo, hollow, wallow
Out of the shadow
Hello Apollo — God
Thank God for the light
Alright? All right!
Thanks, God… for the light

LYRICS
Music is the glue that holds me together
Music is the glue… how ’bout for you?
Music is the glue that holds me together
Let the music help get you through

Music is the glue that holds us together
The bridge a bridge over the whether
Music is the glue that holds us together
The chorus is the core in all of us

Music is the power in our “Our”
Music is the power. Let’s turn it on.
Music is the power in our “Our”
Turn it on and we’ll happen
Turn it on and we will spawn
Turn it on so we can go on going on!
