PART 1
In the solidarity of your solitude
Will you find
More than rhyme
In the solidarity of your solitude
Will it come back
You were just a little too rude

Will you blame it on the moon
Will you say your time came too soon
Can you say your time came too soon

Solidarity Of Your Solitude Part 1.mp3

PART 2
In the solidarity of your solitude
If you lock yourself in a closet
In some sort of insane, crazy bet
That you’ve come to regret
It’s not to hard to open the door

Turns out your solitude
Has nothing to do with being rude
This question.. this inquisition
You must ask yourself
That it was never your intention to be rude
Then you should move on and begin
Just like you know you could
Don’t let them get you down
You’ve got to keep on keeping on
’cause there’s people like me
That are glad you’re around

LYRICS
Going, going, going to extremes

One minute it’s hot
The next it’s not

Going, going, going to extremes

One day it snows
The next… who knows

Going, going, going to extremes

It’s not whether there’s gonna be weather
It’s whether we’ll weather the weather

Going, going, going to extremes

After floods dry out
No doubt a drought

Going, going, going to extremes

What do you know
There goes a tornado

Going, going, going to extremes

Some sort of insane
Hurricane

Going, going, going to extremes

Hell, is that hail?
My head’s too frail

Pretty soon a foreign typhoon
Rain of monsoon

Going, going, going to extremes

The answer’s blowin’ in the wind

The tale of a long, lonesome trail
A tale I’m told ends with a pot o’ gold
Yippee ki oh
The love rodeo

Ride ’em cowboy
Find a cowgirl
Dance the two-step with a twirl
Watch her buck about in joy
Ride ’em cowboy
Yippee ki oh
The love rodeo

Bull riding… calf roping
Steer wrestling… whip cracking
Mutton busting… chute dogging
And, bareback bronc riding
Ride ’em cowboy
Yippee ki oh
The love rodeo

And, if you should get thrown
Don’t let it get overblown
No, don’t let it rattle
Get back in the saddle
Ride ’em cowboy
Yippee ki oh
The love rodeo

Let one hand constrain the rein
The other fly high in the sky
Kick the spur a little in the middle
Then, hold on for dear life… make her your wife
Ride ’em cowboy
Yippee ki oh
The love rodeo

The tale of a long, wholesome trail
A tale of old that ends with a pot o’ gold
Yippee ki oh
The love rodeo

LYRICS
The blue and red are flashing
Once again, the boar is at war
Some sort-of authority
Knowing what’s best for you and me

Chorus
With some militant might
God told ’em what’s right
When done with their theft
There’ll be nothing left

The have’s and not’s are clashing
Once again, the hog exploits the cog
Some sort-of authority
Knows what’s best for you and me

Chorus

All the glass ceilings smashing
New happening… the pig ain’t so big
No sort-of authority
Knows what’s best for you and me

LYRICS
It sucks when you’re living in a swamp
Yet, it seems that’s what we want
When confronted with the taste of our waste
We throw a fit over our own shit
And cry, and rant, and stomp

More coal and oil until we spoil
Yes, it seems that’s what we want
When confronted with the wast of our taste
We recoil and start to boil

Blowin’ methane and monoxides sky high
Patience of the temperate… we try

Sucks livin’ in a swamp

LYRICS
Where do you find beauty?
Is it in your comfort?
If you seek you must confront,
The demons in your body

Chorus
What the heck…
I see it in the crape of your neck
Down the small of your back
… and back
Are you sensitive behind your knee
… let’s see
Can I find your soul
In your sole?

Bathing in the light
Basking at the sight
How do I find beauty
Let me count the ways
With this view that I see
We could be here for days

Wants to push, push, push you down

With the finger say, “leave me alone!”

Are we really this close
Yet really that far?
Oh, yes, oh, yes… we really are

Oh, yes, oh, yes… they really are

Exposing your inner terrors
Going major from the minors
Growing de jour toward grandeur

My favorite star
You shine like the sun
Though nearest… yet so far
You are the same and one

We know without you we can’t grow
Though trite… you are The Light
The fusion of your engine… we can only imagine

No matter seed or womb
We start and end in a tomb
While in between
You sprout out “green”
Then, you bloom

I can’t see clear
Until I’m outta here

’till the shackles are gone
I can’t go wrong
Free of the ball and chain
Before I can roam again

Where do we go from here

I can see your fence
And, I can see past
To a fence past tense
And, we’re free at last

We can see clear
To a place outta here
We can be free
There’s a place… it can be!

LYRICS
Let’s get real close
But, give me room to breathe

Your industrial noise pollution
Isn’t part of a harmonious solution

Less of a dose
My consciousness retrieve

Why spit n’ shit
In another’s face
Just bring disgrace
On the human race

Let’s get real close
But, give me room to breathe

Stead a love infusion
Peace and understanding lotion
Passing through any hate illusion
To a felling of no one losing

We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

In case you’re a menace to society
Lock you up… throw away the key

We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

If you’re lucky

With a purple crayon
The wall you write upon

We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

Hey! You may wanna hesitate
Before you cast your fate
Before you mess with the charm of…
