the clothes you're wearin' girl are 'causin' public scenes
(chorus)

Verse 2:
When I first met ya girl you didn't have no shoes
but now you're walkin' around like you're front page news
You've been awful careful about the friends you choose
but you won't find my name in your book of who's whos
(chorus)

  Not your steppin' stone (repeat however many times)

         A                G       D        G          A
And the men who hold high places, must be the ones to start
    A            G       D    A5      G      D     A5      G
To mold a new reality, closer to the heart, closer to the heart

Blacksmith and the artist, reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity, closer to the heart, closer to the heart

Philosophers and plowmen, each must know his part
To sew a new mentality, closer to the heart, closer to the heart

Oh, you can be the captain, and I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny, closer to the heart

Sky Blue Philosophy.mp3

LYRICS
Why is the sky blue
And the grass green

Do you know what I mean
Do you?

Is the blue seen by you
The same as seen
In my scene

Do you know what I mean
Do you?

Does the truth hold true
All living being

Do you know what I mean
Do you?

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — E E+F#
D

This song is about philosophy and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Remarks on Colour (German: Bemerkungen über die Farben) is a collection of notes by Ludwig Wittgenstein on Goethe’s Theory of Colours. The work consists of Wittgenstein’s reactions to Goethe’s thinking, and an attempt to clarify the use of language about colour. Believing that philosophical puzzles about colour can only be resolved through attention to the involved language-games, Wittgenstein distinguishes between the science of optics, as developed by Newton, and Goethe’s phenomenology of colour, remarking that:
“Goethe’s theory of the origin of the spectrum isn’t a theory of its origin that has proved unsatisfactory; it is really not a theory at all. Nothing can be predicted by means of it. It is, rather, a vague schematic outline, of the sort we find in James’s psychology. There is no experimentum crucis for Goethe’s theory of colour.”

LYRICS
22,000 days
They slip away
In so many ways

Not a lot?
Take advantage of what we’ve got

The world stage
For our plays
Watching youth age

Not a lot?
Take advantage of what we’ve got

For sure
Mature
Can write a beautiful page

Not a lot?
Take advantage of what we’ve got

LYRICS
It’s more than just a moat
Are you prepared to board the boat
Across the river Styx

Chorus
A rock and a hard place
Caught betwixt
Lost in our space
No easy fix

The words stuck in the throat
Regret the time of bloat
Assholes and the dicks

Chorus

Done living life in the rote
Packed my bag with soul in tote
Now with the spirit mix

Of what is right
Uh huh. Uh huh.

At insight

Put the books away
Come out and play

“Could be our last nice day”

Forget the rest

To the freedom fest
Uh huh. Uh huh.

Just like a book…
A story book
Take a look

Despite the beginning
There’ll be a happy ending

Climb inside my head
It’s an ‘ell of a show
Mind unbind your led
To a place of the know

Mind bending

Imagine erecting

You’ll be admitting
Well worth the price of admission
You’ll be applauding
Well worth the price of rebellion

Fire Alarm

LYRICS
If we litter the world
With our missiles and bombs
Bound to set off the fire alarm

Seems to be no reason or rhyme
Why we try to rule time

It’s a fire…
A fire…
A fire alarm

When we trash the world
We build our own tombs
Bound to set off a karmic storm

Live Or Die

Posted on September 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Girl smiles… gives me two thumbs-up
My mind went roamin’ back to the Christians and Romans

Everyone please raise your cup
She gave me two thumbs-up
Elated I get to live
I’ve so much more to give

I’m not lying
For a moment I feared —
Food for the lion

Despite trying
Fear that they would jeer
End up dying

But, she smiled and gave me two thumbs-up
So, everyone please raise your cup
A toast to being alive
The most of being above
Every day above ground
There’s joy to be found

Hope the youth are doing well
Are the rest damned to hell?
Only time will tell

We poison their well
With products we sell
Bring on a thick sick spell

With cracked liberty bell
Until freedom fell

Don’t ever forget it

All the lies that you say

Perjury’s an illegal attack
If you don’t face the fact
The lies you can’t take back

LYRICS
When I was carefree
I was board
I asked the Lord, “What for?”

When I was carefree
It was lame
I asked the Lord, “What’s the game?”

Chorus
When I was carefree
Nothing bothering me was bothering me

When I was carefree
It was horrid
I asked God, “Spare the rod!”

When I was carefree
Life was empty
I asked God, “Please spare me!”

Chorus

When you’re carefree are you careless?
When you’re carefree do you care less?

Meaning Of Must

Posted on March 24, 2013March 24, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
I look to my right
There’s an angel on my shoulder
Sitting in the light
I look to my left
There’s a devil on the other
But, She ain’t as deft

Chorus
Will it be a battle
Love Vs. Lust
Will it shake n’ rattle
The meaning of must

Then, She says to the angel
“Do you want to fight?”
The angel glows bright in flight
Rising above causing Her to fall
