LYRICS
Disengage
The Power Age
A man-made
Outage
Self-imposed isolation
Versus…
I suppose…
Stimulation
Reengage
On blank page
A new stage
Post-outrage
Self-imposed realization
Love us
Expose
Sensation
Less Baggage
More wise sage
A man-made
Homage
Self-exposed introspection
Intellect
Reflection

LYRICS
Too slow
Going too slow
I know
Going too slow
But I’m going as fast as I can
I am
Fast as I can
Am I showing the last of Man
God damn
Better best then
Don’t know
Really don’t know
Don’t know
Where does time go?
So I’m thinking
The best I can
I am
Best that I can
Am I shrinking the zest of Man
God damn
Better best then

LYRICS
Weaving in and out of traffic
Conceiving social magic
Move on
Or move it over
Move on
Or soon discover
Fight her
Or love her
Fighter
Or lover?
Are you trying to be in the way
Come on, please, make my day
Move on
Or move it over
Move on
Or soon discover
Fighter
Or lover
Fight her
Or love her?
Excuse me. I’m losing my mind
If you could be oh so kind
Move on
Or move it over
Move on
Or soon discover
Fight(h)er or Lov(h)er

LYRICS
O, O, O
There you go
O, O, O
Tic-tac-toe
All you need to know
Three in a row
Now you’re in the flow
Forego the tip-toe
Just…
Go, go, go
All you need to grow
Some seeds to sow
Give the weather a chance
By doing a rain dance
And…
Go, go, go
Go, cat, go
All you need to know
Hips move to and fro
Now you’re in the flow
Forego the retro
just…
Go, go, go

LYRICS
Who chose hard?
Dealt card?
No, make it easy
To be
Born free, clearly
Clearly born free
To see you’re free
In a dream scene
Not a moment to discard
Pass hard
Know, make it easy
To be
Born free, clearly
Clearly born free
To see you’re free
In a dream scene
Found to be on guard
Discard “no”
Make it easy
To be
Born free, clearly
Clearly born free
To see you’re free
In a dream scene

LYRICS
Leading up to the climax
Sooth your soul
With a little bit of rock n’ roll
Learning that the facts are facts
Sooth your soul
With a little bit of rock n’ roll
When life takes its toll
Depend on rock n’ roll
When strife shakes the dole
My, my, my
Rely on rock n’ roll
Sitting on top of the climax
Sooth your soul
With a little bit of rock n’ roll
Learning that the facts are facts
Sooth your soul
With a little bit of rock n’ roll
When life takes its toll
Depend on rock n’ roll
When strife shakes the dole
My, my, my
Rely on rock n’ roll
On the ride down the other side
Sooth your soul
With a little bit of rock n’ roll
Learnt where the facts reside
Rule your soul
And a little bit of rock n’ roll
When life takes its toll
Depend on rock n’ roll
When strife shakes the dole
My, my, my
Rely on rock n’ roll

LYRICS
Thought it was left
No, not right
Am I daft or deft?
Yes, alright
Thought I was wrong
No, not right
It shouldn’t be long
Till alright
The flowers from our meadows
Brought into the light
Give powers that form shadows
Much to my delight
Thought it was give
Not a slight
You’d rather live?
Yes, alright!
Thought I was wrong
No, not right
It shouldn’t be long
Till alright
The flowers from our meadows
Brought into the light
Give powers that form shadows
Much to my delight
Thought it was peace
Not a fight
Come on at least
Say “alright!”
Thought I was wrong
No, not right
It shouldn’t be long
Till alright
The flowers from our meadows
Brought into the light
Give powers that form shadows
Much to my delight

LYRICS
If we ever hope to get out of this
Then there’s something we just can’t miss
If we’re going to make the long-shot
Better give ‘er all we got
Why not?
Give ‘er all we got
If we ever hope to see the light
Then might want to keep insight
If we’re going to make the long-shot
Better give ‘er all we got
Why not?
Give ‘er all we got
If we ever want to solve the riddle
Better stop the piddle-diddle
If we’re going to make the long-shot
Better give ‘er all we got
Why not?
Give ‘er all we got

LYRICS
Going back and forth
Between yes and no
Guess and I don’t know
It’s easy to see
At least easy for me
The answer for us
Is obvious
Obvious
Up to us
When we threw ourselves
Under the bus
Evidence became clear
Those that you hold near and dear
… for them you need to fear
It’s easy to see
At least easy for me
The answer for us
Is obvious
Obvious
Up to us
Obvious
Up to us

LYRICS
Asking me
“What’s to be?”
Pull up a chair and listen good
Things aren’t going the way they should
Fat cat wound up breeding rat
… rat attack
You’re under a rat attack
(Rat-a-tat-attack)
You can’t run
You can’t hide
Can’t escape what’s inside
Question me
What I see?
Take a look at your neighborhood
Things aren’t going the way they should
Fat cat wound up breeding rat
… rat attack
You’re under a rat attack
(Rat-a-tat-attack)
You can’t run
You can’t hide
Can’t escape what you harbor inside
About you
What to do:
Pull up a chair and listen good
Things aren’t going the way they could
Fat cat wound up breeding rat
… rat attack
You’re under a rat attack
(Rat-a-tat-attack)
You can’t run
You can’t hide
Can’t escape what you harbor inside

LYRICS
Cleverly disguised as the fool
Playing the part of my master’s tool
Never considered alternative rule
Just a mule
You can lead me to water
Just a mule
But you can’t make me drink
Just a mule
You can beat me to slaughter
Just a mule
But you can’t make me think
Cleverly disguised as the fool
Playing the part of my master stool
Never considered alternative rule
Just a mule
You can lead me to water
Just a mule
But you can’t make me drink
Just a mule
You can beat me to slaughter
Just a mule
But you can’t make me think

LYRICS
Here’s the thing
Free the string
And it’s off floating
Hold on tight
Or it might
Fly away
O.K.?
What did your mother say
Been saying it all day
If you don’t hold on tight
Your balloon is out of sight
Hold on tight
Or it might
Take to flight
Hold on tight
(You know…
Don’t let go!)
So you know
Don’t let go
Watch if winds blow
Hold on tight
Or it might
Fly away
O.K.?
What did your mother say
Been saying it all day
If you don’t hold on tight
Your balloon is out of sight
Hold on tight
Or it might
Take to flight
Hold on tight
(You know…
Don’t let go!)
Spare regret
Don’t forget
Don’t lose the bet
Hold on tight
Or it might
Fly away
O.K.?
What did your mother say
Been saying it all day
If you don’t hold on tight
Your balloon is out of sight
Hold on tight
Or it might
Take to flight
Hold on tight
(You know…
Don’t let go)

LYRICS
Am I to take you serious
Admit your slapstick
Is totally sick
But does your dipstick
Stick into it?
(You know… running a quart low?)
Am I to take you serious
Certainly your stand up is funny
But is your piggy bank out of money
(You know… more than a quarter low?)
Am I to take you serious
No mime
Is a hero of mine
But in your case
Champion closed face
(You know… closed pie hole halo? Hello?!?!)
Am I to take you serious
Is it me… is it us
Serious
Is it you
Is it me
Is it us
Serious?

LYRICS
In the after all
Who’s the first to fall
Maybe
In the after life
Who is going to save me
And for what it’s worth
First birth on this Earth
Baby
In the after life
Who is going to save me
Why so hard to find
King in humankind
Crazy
In the after life
Who is going to save me
The reign came flooding down
Washed my troubles away
With a resounding sound
Heralding a (k)new day
Riff notes: e f# g f# e

LYRICS
I heard to hoard
Doesn’t do much good
When you world is deteriorating
A little too late
For recreating
Since our actions
Are incapacitating
(The hating!?!?)
I hear to fear
Doesn’t do much good
When your world is infuriating
A little too late
For recreating
Since our actions
Are incapacitating
(The hating!?!?)
Been told to fold
Might do some good
When your world is obliterating
A little too late
For recreating
Since our actions
Are incapacitating
(The hating!?!?)
