LYRICS
You know that you are out of touch
Does it bother you much?

For way too long
You’ve been going wrong
(going, going, going, gone)
You’re out of touch

Are you out of touch
Does it bother you much

You sit and rap
You call that rap
You call that crap?
You try to rhyme
But, it doesn’t work… most of the time

You’re out of touch
Way too much
Then, again
Way too often

Check out
Outside of your shell
Out of your living hell

You’re way out of touch
Does it bother you much?

Have you heard the news
You’re giving them the blues
With your lack of comprehension
Your lack of attention
Your lack of satisfaction

You’re out of touch
Does it bother you much?

LYRICS
When you lookout, lookout, lookout
From behind your eyes
Is it any… surprise?!?!

Got to get up, get up, get up
And, rise

When you stand up, stand up, stand up
For what you believe
You will bring… relief
Surmise — rise!

Got to get up, get up, get up
And, rise

When you speak out, speak out, speak out
About injustice
You raise consciousness
A prize for those that rise

Got to get up, get up, get up
And, rise

bookmark_borderOwn Worst Enemy

Posted on by admin

A song inspired by a friend’s Facebook post:

So, 88-98% of corn, cotton (cotton oil–as in what a lot of potato chips are cooked in), canola oil, and soybean crops grown are genetically engineered. About 80% of the crops are to feed livestock. So what evolution has taken 3 billion years to create, humankind can destroy in 40 years. Maybe that’s the plan, to kill off our own kind to revert back to the beginning, with a little plastic and holes in the ozone as a special bonus. Kudos, Homo sapiens. We’ve really “outdone” ourselves.

LYRICS
What is it that I walk upon?
I wish we had the insight to look on and on and on
And, we found the ground
Underneath our feet
Are we going to be our own defeat?

What is that that I breath
Has the air gone up in thin air
Is there something more than just our air in there
What is it we breath
Are we our own disease?

Will we beat
Into defeat
Will we beat
Our own defeat

What is that in our food
Is it any good
What we eat
Are we our own defeat?

I don’t think we can cheat Mother Nature
It’s us we beat into defeat

We’re going to beat ourselves into defeat
And, I would say it’s time to change the seat
This game of musical chairs is going nowhere
I don’t want to be the last one standing
It won’t be any fun if I’m the only one that does remain
It might even drive you insane

Last chance

If you knew this was your last chance
Would you take the opportunity to dance?
If you knew this was the last dance
Would you take the opportunity
Would you take the chance?

Let’s not let the opportunity lapse
Let’s not let all our future drain into the past
Let’s take the opportunity to dance

Dance!

Dance yourself right out of those pants

Forget about the politicians and their rants
Forget about all that silly nonsense
Come on and dance

Last chance

LYRICS
Are you rough and tumble
’cause the boys want to rumble
Are you tough and nimble
They want to bust your bubble
A-ha

Ain’t trying to find trouble tonight
Just trying to run to broad daylight
Don’t want your trouble… Don’t want to fight
We’ll watch you stumble
While we choose flight

Chorus

Ain’t trying to find trouble tonight
Just trying to run to broad daylight
Don’t want your trouble… don’t want your blight
We’ll watch you crumble
While we choose in-sight

LYRICS
What you see
Let it be

The seven seals
Were unsealed
The tusks
Untusked
The opening to the abyss
Among us
And, now we cause all the fuss

I guess it was the fuss
Because of the mess
I must confess
There should be a fuss about the mess caused by us
It’s not that you need to be a ruckus scientist
Or some sort-of brain surgeon… or even journalist
Trying to get a grasp on this reality TV that is thee… me

Let it be that what you see
Is the fusion
Of reality with your dream

LYRICS
Over hill… over dale

You’ll never ever fail
Over hill. Over dale.
You’ll never ever fail
As long as you’re on the trail

Toward the least
Not the beast

In the long run (fun)
In the end (the message you send)
Over hill… over dale
Set sail
For your dream
And, it will seem

Over hill
Over dale
Over hill
Overdrive

You’re alive
If you strive
You can make what seems
Your dreams
A reality of your mortality
Make it the stage
Make it the moving picture production show
Make it strive and thrive while you’re alive

Over hill… over rough terrain…
What of you will remain?

LYRICS
The more we grow together
The more we need to stand alone
Maintain our identity
Refrain
Remain a strain

The more we grow together
The more we need to concede
A separate seed
For heredity we need identity
From a real gene pool
If we want the continuum
Together
Alone

Tomorrow the future will be
You’ll see
Together we grow alone

This carpet of grass
Time will pass
Our roots intertwine
And, we come to find
That we’re individual blades of grass
And, together we can harness

If you start to doubt
Know that help is on its way
If you feel left out
Know you’ll see a better day

Chorus
We all break-out in the dance of life
Play guitar, fiddle or fife
We all break out in the dance of life
Love passes… like butter and a hot knife

Don’t part with devout
It really helps if you pray
Don’t feel you’re shut-out
Love will find you… there’s a way

LYRICS
Do you think we’re living…
Living like we’re living on a Carnival cruise?
Situation
Lose – Lose – Lose

Feces falling floor to floor
Garbage piling toward the sky
Can’t stand living with ourselves. No more!
My, oh, my

Putrid smell you do abhor
Brings a tear makes you cry
Can’t stand living with ourselves any more
Living like a monkey

Did we embark on Noah’s Ark…
Or, did we ride to the darkside…
On a Carnival cruise

Daniel — Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards

A 6-track stereo extemporaneous recording made in Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America. This song was inspired by the Carnival Cruise ship “Triumph”. The ship became stranded at sea for five days. The passengers complained about the poop running down the walls and living with the smell of their own garbage. It made me think about how the planet is like a giant cruise ship. Can we live with ourselves? Take the sustainability challenge.

LYRICS
While attached to your baggage
Might as well find a home
While attached to your baggage
Looking for happiness… you’ll roam
’till the baggage fades away
There won’t be an easy way

As long as you carry the baggage
It won’t leave you alone
As long as you carry the baggage
You’ll never be at home

As the baggage fades away
You’ll find a new day
You’ll find the new day

What will be your mark
What will be your relevance
Bringing people from the dark
While you have a presence

Wearing a white hat
Into mortal combat
None of us are getting out alive

Bringing people from the dark
While you have a presence

Baring the attack
There’s no need to fight back
Mirrors of God survive
Mirrors of God alive

What’s your take on the take?
What do you make
Of your perspective?

Going reflective….

What’s your attitude on attitude
When it comes to people who are rude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

’till our cup runneth over
’till our glass is full
’till there is no null… no, no null at all

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

Do you have longitude
Do you have latitude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut

LYRICS
Is the wind wailing on me at the speed of light?
Or, is it me traveling at that rate of speed?
If it’s me,
At what speed
Are the headlights traveling
In front of me?

Is the light twice as bright?
Will relativity be forced to concede?
Lord, that amount of light will have to help us see
Hear the blind humanity’s plea!

Hear the blind humanity’s plea, please?
