LYRICS
I want to know
Why is everyone working so slow?
On holiday
I don’t collect any pay

In the land where nothing’s free
Except for the air inside of me

Hey, hey, hey! Laborless on labor day
Laborer… please be a neighbor

Where do you get off
Taking another paid day off
When you’re clocked in
Still aloof time and time again

Chorus

Sickle And Hammer.mp3

LYRICS
Everybody is rushing to have a revolution
Yet they’ve got no system substitution
Nobody is looking to find a solution
Instead pushing for a Russian revolution
Could be the fall of us all (x2)

For the laborers, the hammer will fall
For the peasantry, the Reaper’s sickle
When death does call
She’s none to fickle
Could be the fall of us all (x2)

Everybody is flushing their toilet
Forgetting whose downstream from their inlet
Can’t just keep streaming our crap
Onto our neighbors’ lap
Could be the fall of us all (x2)

ABOUT THE SONG
D Em G A D
C G D
C A D

A song about being careful what you wish for:

The hammer and sickle (☭) is a Communist symbol that was conceived during the Russian Revolution. At the time of creation, the hammer stood for industrial laborers and the sickle for the peasantry; combined they stood for the worker-peasant alliance for socialism and against reactionary movements and foreign intervention.

LYRICS
You know that I’m… gonna cross the chasm great and wide
You know the time… ford the ocean at low tide

Gotta climb that mountain to get to the other side
Oh, Mama… I’m crossing… I ride

You know that I’m… gonna cross this town in stride
You know the time… is well before you’ve died
Gotta bridge that gap. Certain. Won’t be denied.
Oh, Mama… I’m crossing… I ride

Forever prone to be at home

To Get to the Other Side
To Get to the Other Side

LYRICS
Have I been traveling the right way
Through a glorious n’ prosperous day
Am I doing all I can do for you?

Have I been believing what is true
Or am I do for an altered point-of-view
Am I doing all I can do for you?

It’s funny how money is like bees around honey
The bait to tempt your fate to a bent destiny
Am I doing all I can do for you?

The optimal goal — reach the darkest soul
Begin to win our war on sin
What can I do for you?
Pray tell, what can I do for you?

LYRICS
Firecracker on the 4th of July
Poof! Band! Auld Lang Syne
Is the load of your energy spent
Or, resurrected… from heaven sent (second time lent)

It’s not too late… let’s repent
Soar as high… let’s fly
(Soar on high second time)

Heartbreaker on Valentine’s Day
Poof! Band! Auld Lang Syne
Is the cloud on your picnic wet
Or, hung to dry and live on yet?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A song… that when we play
Everyone will say,
“There’s a sing along song!”

I want a song that we can all sing along
One that will make them swing and dance
I want a song that we can all sing along
When upon second glance….

I want a song… sing along
One that they’ll say,
“Hey, there’s a sing along song”
I want a song that we can all sing along
We can whistle away

(whistle)

Hey! There’s a sing along song
Hey, there’s that sing along song

You can swing and dance
While you have the chance
To have the time as a being
For the time being
For the time that you have the time as a being
For the time being

(guitar solo)

While you have the time….
As a being
For the time being
Hey! There’s that sing along song
Hey, did you hear them say, “There’s that sing along song!”

I want a song that we can all sing along
One that will make them swing and dance
I want a song that we can all sing along
When upon second glance
They say, “Hey, there’s that sing along song.”

(instrumental)

I want a song we can sing along
One we can sing all day
I want a song we can sing along
One we can whistle away

(more whistling)
