bookmark_borderFaster (Pick Up The Pace)

LYRICS
I thought I was winning the race
When I heard a voice say, “Pick up the pace!”

Are you aware
The turtle doesn’t always beat the hare
In fact, only one in a million beat him there

Time to put on the shoe and tie the lace
Keep the foot out of the mouth on my face
Time to pick up the pace

You invented the clock (tick-tock)
Now its slave, you work
The ship has left the dock
Spoon’s run away with the fork
Workin’ for the clock (tick-tock)

LYRICS
I know you’ve a long row to hoe
But, in the time seep the benefits you’ll reap

Invest our soul into what’s best
The rest will be easy
… just you wait and see

Before you know, it will start to grow
Magic-like leap into the light out of the deep

Before you know it, you’ll turn grey
Teeth fall out…. senses not felt… call it a day

In the meantime, play your hearts chime

LYRICS
I know it’s not right
But, I’m done with your fight
Not sure if I’ve seen the light
Perhaps blessed with second sight

Falling out of love

All your life trying to grow-up
Makes me want to throw-up

Falling out of love
Taking off the gloves
You could say I’m not gonna play
You could say that I’m on my way

There’s some commotion
And, it’s staying in motion
Quick like Isaac
“An object in motion stays in….”
Loco-commotion (x3)
Notion

Tangled up emotion
That’s staying in motion
Quick like Isaac
“An object in motion stays in….”
Loco-commotion (x3)

Some sort-of love potion
Accelerating motion
Quick like Isaac
An outside force of course

LYRICS
Do you find it hard to believe
The air’s not fit to breath
Do you find it spoils the fun
Stayin’ out of the sun

Can you please tell me, “What do you think of that?”
Can you please tell me, “Will you tip your hat?”

Do you hope they’ll relieve
… unwilling to receive
Do you pray someone will say,
“I’m here to save the day!”

Can you please tell me, “What do you think of that?”
Can you please tell me, “Will you tip your hat?”

Do you know what I mean about the rivers and streams
Waterfowl run afoul ain’t no “merrily dreams”

Can you please tell me, “What do you think of that?”
Can you please tell me, “Will you tip your hat?”

LYRICS
Take a moment and jump off the crust
Give your spirit a cosmic thrust
You know how they say “Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.”
For the mortal body is a must
The real life… for it I lust
Hitchhiker’s sign says, “Heaven or Bust!”
Gonna take a moment and jump off the crust
As soon as I feel a gust

As soon as I feel a gust
Gonna take a moment and jump off the crust

Take a moment and jump off the crust
Give your spirit a cosmic thrust
To begin, just stick your toe in

Next time I feel a gust
Gonna take a moment and jump off the crust

And machine-gunners to dread
Supersonic surveillance boats afloat
This is how you spent your vote

Home of the not so free
Home of the not so brave

Is that any way to behave

America what are you doing
What is in your head
America what’s pursuing
Do ya wanna end up dead

Dowsed and lit… rampage for a bit

Destined for destruction… utter downbeat

Hypocrite hypster not so discreet
Into submission you can’t beat

No accounting an imbalance sheet

Mister hypocritester bringing on the heat
Time to clock out on your time sheet

We’re in step
To the promised land
In a marching band
A reggae… funky reggae marching band

Pick up a flute or pickup a lute
A mandolin or violin
Pick up whatever you can get into

Left right it’s alright
Left right left right
We left left right
Left left for right

In step to thee promised land
If you want to joins hands
Hand in hand in step to the promised land

LYRICS
All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution

Son, had you begun in Ferguson?
Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore

You can’t hate hate unless you partake
You can’t take part with what’s at stake
When you behave all irate… at any rate

There’s a moral lack when you strike back
At others not involved in your attack
Doesn’t matter whether they’re a shade of grey, white or black
It’s just a matter of fact
That ain’t no way to act

Is it any wonder they wanna put you in a cage
The way you behave all in a rage
You’re more likely to engage as a sage
Put a The End to that book… and look to a blank page

All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution

Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore?
No more! No more!

LYRIC
The bats are in the belfry
Toys are in the attic
Completely mystify me
With an attack so sick

Makes me wonder… what’s the matter with you
Did your intellect catch the flu
Are you the fly in the ointment
And are you the plague, too?

Is your humanity bill way past due?

LYRICS
If you think it’s a question of maybe
When it comes to killing a baby
Then it’s time to grasp reality
Put away the grenade
Into the light. Out of the shade.

If you think there’s nothing wrong
With dropping a wedding bomb
Peace will forever long
Military parade charade
Into the light. Out of the shade.

Lurking in the shadows
A wolf in our meadows
Dressed in sheep’s clothing
Nothin’ more worth loathing
Hatred fade! Into the light. Out of the shade.

LYRICS
Has “you get what you pay for”
Turned to ole folklore?

Try to pay my dues
Before this life I lose
So free time is free for me

You get what you pay for
Just some more folklore

Don’t over pay with strife for your life
A good deal of the time is a good deal
Ya might even call it a steal

You get what you pay for
Folklore you can now ignore

Wow! If you act now
It’s buy one get one free
Heaven — the ultimate destiny

May you get what you dream for
Through intention, not a penny more

A fight to the finish
In our fragile space capsule
A race to The End of the human race
Living to diminish
Our fragile space capsule
Modern Age rage flailing in disgrace

Happy birthday (Hey, hey, hey)
Dear ole Earthday (Hey, hey, hey)

Right on!
Get positive on negative ions
May the atmosphere of our sphere
Scatter blue your sky
… and make you feel high

Happy birthday (Hey, hey, hey)
Dear ole Earthday (Hey, hey, hey)

Can you see yourself floating in the sea
I confess the weightlessness is bliss
Crave the rave of riding on a wave

Happy birthday (Hey, hey, hey)
Dear ole Earthday (Hey, hey, hey)

Do you know the feeling of a rainbow
Synesthesia like anesthesia from the dread
Flourish and nourish your head

Happy birthday (Hey, hey, hey)
Dear ole Earthday (Hey, hey, hey)
