bookmark_borderGrim Grief

LYRICS
Do you want to cause the Grim Reaper some grief?
Well, Mamma always said…
Look both ways before crossing the street
A different drummer
March to the beat
Causing Grim Reaper defeat

Do you want to cause the Grim Reaper some grief?
Well, Mamma always said…
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
Time is dawning
On a new day

Do you want to cause the Grim Reaper some grief?
Well, Mamma always said…
There’s a lesson in choosing your poison
Let the light shine in
And, on and on

bookmark_borderFeedback Loop

This is a song about feedback loops. Do you know what they are? They will likely kill you, your children and your grandchildren.

LYRICS
Da, doi! To ourselves duped
By our own feedback loop
Feedback looped

This ain’t no scoop (It’s old knews)
I ain’t screaming “extra, extra, extra…
Read all about it”
Da, da, da
I’m meanin’
I ain’t screamin’
Da, da, da
Forget about it

Hear and him
Fell victim
To the feedback loop
And, it’s going down
In your town

I mean literally
And, well…
As well
As… figuratively
[When you eat in, you poop
Feedback loop]

LYRICS
What do yo say we see
’bout increasin’ love’s potency
So that just a dab will do
To cure whatever’s ailing you
The cure for sure
Hate’s remedy

There’s got to be a way, surely
Of increasing love’s efficiency
So that just a pinch will do
Cure whatever’s ailing you
The cure for sure
Hate’s remedy

Try n’ get close per dose
Of saving humanity
Corrects all side effects
No anxiety… you’re not dizzy
The cure for sure
Hate’s remedy

LYRICS
What has become of common courtesy
Have we lost all respect for dignity
As the tyrant, have we no mercy
The tyrant in you
The tyrant in me
Tragedy

What has become of common decency
Have we lost our compassion for diversity
As the tyrant, do we just rant and rave
The master as slave
Can’t behave

The tyrant in you
The tyrant in me
Tragedy

bookmark_borderThe World Smiles Back

LYRICS
Slap on a trial smile
Give it a chance for a little while
If a frown you lack
The world smiles back

Once you begin to grin
It’s amazing what starts happenin’
Be so bold to laugh out loud
See if you can start a crowd

Working on our collective humor
Laugh until we can laugh no more
Tickle your fancy… do a happy dance
And just for fun give love a chance

The state of the union is no joke
Roust the spirits… give ’em a poke
Maybe it is time we stand to see
How we’ll go down in history

I feel I'm knockin on heaven's door

I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door

bookmark_borderDo Ya

Coversong originally made famous by ELO

D        A             G
In this life I've seen ev'rything I can see, woman
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've see babies dancin' in the midnight sun
I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men cryin' at their own grave sides
And I've seen pigs all sittin' watchin' picture slides
G     D          A            G
But I never seen nothin' like you

D            A       G
Do ya, do ya want my love? x4

Well, I heard the crowd singin' out of tune
As they sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums
And I heard the police playin' with their guns
But I never heard nothin' like you

In the country where the sky
Touches down on the field
She lay her down to rest in the mornin' sun
They came -a-runnin' just to get a look
Just to feel, to touch her long black hair
They don't give a damn
But I never seen nothin' like you

Do ya, do ya want my love?

Well I think you know
What I'm tryin' to say, woman
That is, I'd like to save you for a rainy day
I've seen enough of the world to know
That I've got to get it all
To get it all to grow

Do Ya (ELO Cover).mp3

I can see the land promised
This time the boat’s not missed
I’ve come to understand blissed
Nothing more to be confessed

I can see to heaven’s gate
A lifetime of anticipate
I cans see to heaven’s gate
A lifetime to participate

I cans see the New Jerusalem
An eternal glimpse of who I am
I can see past all the mayhem
Where all things are said and done

LYRICS
Any clue who I am
Do you
I mean… Gawddamn
Do you
Have any clue who I am
Do you
Have a clue
I mean
I’m a human being

Again, I’m askin’
Do you
I mean.. obscene
If you’d seen
Where I’ve been
Do you have a clue

Where to begin
Again, I’m askin’
The disgrace
Of egg on face

I got feelings
And, I’m reeling
In my feelings

… who I am
Does anybody give a damn
It would be odd if it’s not God

When you cast doubt
On what I’m about
Do you
Have a clue
I mean
I’m a human being

The scene has become so obscene
Don’t know if you know what I mean?

Do you
Have a clue
I mean
I’m a human being

I don’t know any more
I don’t know any less
But, I don’t know any more
