LYRICS
Dropping bombs
Blowin’ up babies
Filling tombs
With young ladies
We’d like to reconcile-ate
For our rape and our hate
What can we do for you
Reconciliation
For our damn nation… damnation
What do you say
How can we repay
You lost your tooth? Truth?
Teeth?
… in disbelief
The truth of tooth for a tooth
Or an I for an I
Did it cost you and arm and a leg
Can we compensate you with a peg?
What is the cost of your loss?
What is the cost of your lost?

Recording: digital 10-track stereo
Vocals, Guitar, Organ,

This is about Donald Trump’s ban on Muslim’s. Legal residents of the USA are not allowed to renter the country if they are from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. In how many of these countries has the United States try to inflict regime change and invoke civil wars? The U.S. should take in 100% of refugees from countries whose governments we have overthrown.

Band together and join THE RESISTANCE

LYRICS
Looking to put a little harmony
Back into country
Some transparency
In our dirty laundry

Just the basic fact
Of exactly where we’re at
In our humanity extract

Looking to put a little peace piece
Back in civility
Civil in our civil war
On integrity

Chorus

Looking to put a little pride
Back in nationality
A quick logic fix
In our rationality

LYRICS
The kettle’s whistling… must be a sign
Time to act before you’re out of time
Hurry, Son, remove it from the heat
Before all the steam you deplete
Turn down the heat
Too much conceit
Sentiments roiling
Society’s boiling

Can’t wait waiter
There’s a fly in my soup
See ya later
Tired of being the dupe
Cuckoo bird’s done flown the coop
Getting out of the endless loop group
Your rational is hazy
Making me dizzy
Your mind’s lazy
Throwin’ a tizzy

LYRICS
Wouldn’t ya say we resemble
How to peacefully assemble
Writing songs about freedom
Redress of grievances from the free dumb

Chorus
I had to tell the Po-po No! No!
Ya know, he didn’t know
Gay Church… Church and Gay
Bring your guitar and learn how to play

Perhaps you should dot your i’s and maybe cross your t’s
Before you confront me
Please don’t tread on me

Just because you’re walled-in
Doesn’t mean we gotta stop talkin’
While your face is turning green
The writing on the wall will be seen

LYRICS
You know the time it getting late
An I can hardly, hardly wait
There ain’t much for us to debate
At any rate… can’t
Hang tight
Alright?

Again and again
You say “cool your engine — hang tight”
No maybe.. no might
Hang tight
Not in sight

Ad you stall feeling over righteous
Can’t you tel that I’m anxious
Ya know what would be good for us
The next departure — train, plane or bus
I’m sure… can’t
Hang tight
Tonight

How do I begin
Explainin’ I’m burnin’
Hang tight?
No maybe.. no might
Hang tight
Not in sight

There’s a man over there
Can’t help but stare
Most people aren’t aware

Time to call the cows in
Time to call them home
Time the birds start singin’
Time all are welcome

To pain will he succumb
Ah man, is society that dumb
How come?

LYRICS
In the Fall, before the leaves fall
Hard to believe it’s the color of dying
All in all, could be a good call
Relieves and re-lives in the Spring
Funny thing… once you gain understanding
The color of the foliage and old age
Takes on a whole new meaning

Orange, red, golden brown
Flying in the wind… falling down
Aren’t you dancing with delight
In the Autumn twilight

Starlight, star bright… first star I see tonight
Or are you a planet
Venus, Mercury or Mars?
Thought jars… light traveled so far

Orange, red, golden brown
Flying in the wind… falling down
Aren’t you dancing with delight
In the Autumn twilight

LYRICS
My Grandma and your Grandma
Are sitting by the fire
Wondering why we don’t fan the flames higher
(… just a little higher)

And I pride myself on not being too proud
Not to quite and not too loud

My Grandpa and your Grandma
Are sitting ever higher
Wondering why we don’t and aspire
(… just a little higher)

And I try myself to be the best I can
A likeness to a human

If you want to quench your thirst
You’ve gotta get to the river first
If you want to calm the storm
You’ve gotta cool where the water’s warm

If we can behave on the crest of a wave
Ride the tide

When you find the money makers
And money shakers are the money takers
Turn to the kind embracing kind
Then, you’ll release the peace of mine

If we can behave on the crest of a wave
Ride the tide

The part I embellish

LYRICS
If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

“General Population reporting for duty, Sir.
From my naivety you may infer!”

If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

Not on my leg using your urine
Not through some giant money siphon
More like firin’ up the horizon
The enlighten siren

Sirens of silence
Falling on deaf ears
Sirens of silence
Playing out our fears

If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

Not the ice that’s crashing into the sea
Not the smog foggin’ up what I see
Not ozone in the wind a blowin’
Not ebola in the gut growin’
You’d think these would all make a fine sign
Nooooo… we pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
We’re taking the free trial of denial for certain

Sirens of silence
Falling on deaf ears
Sirens of silence
Playing out our fears
