LYRICS
What’s up with all this violence
Thick, unromantic, burn it to the wick, sick
Time for pathological benevolence

Hence forth and forever more
Let’s get addicted at our core
6th sense pathological benevolence

The bigger they come, the harder they fall
Wonder if they’ve a brain at all
Turnin’ mountain into molehill
No need to suffer the fool

Does any of this hatred make any sense
I’ve more of an urge to submerge in bliss
Soakin’ in pathological benevolence

Chorus

LYRICS
Have you been a good little girl or boy?
Now you want Santa to bring you a toy
Have you been good the whole year through
Or, I’ll have bad news
Coal in the stocking blues

I heard people talking
They said it’s shocking
Jaw dropping
Eye popping
Been good the whole year through… well, have you?
Or, I’ll have bad news
Coal in the stocking blues

Strum they told me
Stru, stru, stru, stru, strum
A new born king has come
Stru, stru, stru, stru, strum
Break that guitar out of your gunny sack
And give that axe a whack

Bother Be.mp3

LYRICS
I was just sitting on the corner
Causing no body no harm
Playing a lil’ guitar

When this bee came up to me
And just wouldn’t net me be —
A bother bee

Then a strange breeze started blowin’
In the wind, a peculiar notion

I was just sitting on the corner
Causing no body no harm
Playing a lil’ guitar

When this me wanted to see
Why bother to be?
Bother / Be

’cause as far as I can tell
I’ve only got this chance
So, as long as I’m living I think it’s just as well
That at every opportunity
Partake in the dance
… whenever possible partake in the dance

LYRICS
We’ve a common thread
And it comes from where we’re bred
Take a look and see
It’s right there in our ancestry

Somerled King Of The Isles
In years travel back in miles
To Charlemagne King Of The Franks
Thanks!
You can see it in our smiles

Arthur didn’t call himself king
And get this… here’s the thing
Neither did Jesus
If it weren’t for them
There wouldn’t be us
I wouldn’t be who I am

St. Columba of the Nine Hostages
Concubines, priests and princesses
Frankly Francus of the Franks
Judah, Jacob, Isacc, Abraham
All part of who I am
Thanks Noah for the rainbow
And for Adam and Lilith
Delivereth

Give a shout out
Just look about
What’s up with all the sufferin’?

Starvin’ for lovin’ from within
Starvin’ for lovin’ what a sin

We can fix this
Just takes some piss
And vinegar
The perfect cure

God,
Please give wisdom to the ignoramuses in power
Before our final hour (our hour)

Forgive our debtee
As they’ve forgiven me

Sincerely,
A man, Amen

And, crank-up the love

In gathering love together

Is infinite forever?

LYRICS
If I were stranded
On a deserted island
I supposed it’d be re-branded
To the dance I land
Set soul’s sail
Let vocals wail
To the third-eye land

The 3rd island from the sun
The 3rd-eye land, son
I’m talkin’ ’bout
“and then sum” some

Past Mercury, Venus
Chances are
If you get to Mars
There’s been too many “too fars”

Rocking In The Free World.mp3

Intro: Em     D   C  (4x)

Em                   D   C
Colors on the street 
      Em             D   C 
Red, white and blue 
        Em           D   C 
People shufflin' their feet 
         Em                     D   C 
People sleepin' in their shoes 
                Em                  D    C
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead 
           Em                            D          C
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead 
       Em                     D     C
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them 
     Em                     D     C
So I try to forget it, any way I can. 

G       D                          C    C/B C/A G       
Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
        D                          C    C/B C/A G
Keep on rockin' in the free world 
        D                          C    C/B C/A G          
Keep on rockin' in the free world,                        
        D                          C    C/B C/A G      
Keep on rockin' in the free world.                       

I see a woman in the night 
With a baby in her hand 
Under an old street light 
Near a garbage can 
Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit 
She hates her life, and what she's done to it 
There's one more kid that will never go to school 
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool. 

Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
Keep on rockin' in the free world 
Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
Keep on rockin' in the free world. 
(Bass only)      
We got a thousand points of light 
For the homeless man 
We got a kinder, gentler,  
Machine gun hand 
(Guitar starts in)
We got department stores and toilet paper 
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer 
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive 
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive. 

Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
Keep on rockin' in the free world 
Keep on rockin' in the free world,  
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

There's somethin' happenin' here.

What it is ain't exactly clear.
          E                   A
There's a man with a gun over there
          E                    A
A-tellin' me I've got to beware.

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
