LYRICS
Can we dream a scene less obscene
Less greed, envy and being mean?
The annihilation of being self-annihilating
A constitution of love negating hating
Where we find a solution for all our pollution
And everybody gives a $hit where they take a $hit
Admits to it and takes care of it
We don’t need to start with all of it
Just a little bit
One little baby step in the right direction
Before ya know it
We’ll be running toward a humanity resurrection
A revolution over insurrection yielding human salvation
Taking responsibility as a society
So, one day you can say
To your children’s children’s children
“This is the view the humen left behind for you”

LYRICS
These cats are cool
I ain’t playing their fool
These cats are cool

The band at hand
Do you understand?
If ya get basic
It’s like magic
Soothing over the tragic
Like a God given gift
Sharing the benefit

Some old
Some new
But they knew
The story told
Never grows old

Cats chillin’
Cooooool
Shakin’ Not Stirred.
Purrrrrrfect!

LYRICS
When I catch myself being rote
Makes me feel like such a dope
And then I begin
By saying it all over again
Repetitious rote
On remote
Control
That ain’t rock n’ roll
When I catch myself being rote
Makes me feel like such a dope
Is there any hope?
When I listen to what is true
Hope to convey it to you
Hope to relay it to you
Hope I can say it… to you

Won’t save my love for a few
Though trite it’s not spew
I’m saying, “I love you”
Remote from being rote
I love you

Catch a figger’ by the toe
And, if you can’t figure the figure
Let it go!

Hot potato?
One potato, two potato, three potato, four. Five potato, six potato, seven potato, more.
That’s it
I think “you’re it!”
Look to the east
Look to the west
Look to the one you love best

Put you right arm in put your left arm out
Put your bear to arms in and shake it all about
The fringe shall not infringe
The binge shall not infringe
The origin:
“the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

What you think you see ….
Is that reality?
Basically
Your reality is killing me

Oh please save me

One is one
You can’t make it undone
Two is two, too
The definition is not up to you

Who is the biggest killer of us all
It’d be us by far
No need to fear
Of them reaching near
It would be us by far

Come on groovers
Come on players
Help maneuver the movers
And, say “hey!” to the slayers
Hey! Don’t slay
In essence, this isn’t rocket science
Reading minds

LYRICS
As the NOT’s in the climate tangle
Need to wrangle a new angle
As the NOT’s in the climate knot
The knot of the winds increase
Sustained winds that wouldn’t cease
Then, the rain came down all around
Until the ground was awash in a flood
Up to my eyeballs in gook, muck and mud

The have’s and the have not’s
All have knots
All have knot
All in knots
Over having “not”

All the world is a stage in The Damage Age

Force 12
Hurricane’s off the shelve
Starting out at 64 knot
Yet not
Done
Sure ain’t no whatnot
Better run
Yell, fella, “To the storm cellar!”

Tangled In Not’s.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
C C# Cm C#m

A song about wind speeds (in knots) and human induced climate change.

“A universal scale of wind speed values — since the scale was originally nautical in nature, and that most wind reports at that time were in nautical miles per hour (or converted to them), these numerical values were given in knots. It was a progressive scale with the range of speed for Forces increasing as you go higher. Thus Force 1 is only 3 knots in range (1 kt – 3 kt), while the Force 11 is eight knots (56 kt – 63 kt) in range. So Force 12 [Hurricane] starts out at 64 knots (74 mph, 33 m/s).”

Taking a ride
Hadda hide my hide
Taking a ride

Had to hide my hide
Now I’m taking a ride

Don’t want it to be unheard
That would be absurd

You want to swallow the secret
Don’t swallow the secret

Rather you spill your guts
I know it might sound nuts
But there’s no enemy in me
There’s no enemy in me

Or it will kept in all this $hit

Spy Techniques of the Revolutionary War – Mount Vernon /www.mountvernon.org
Ciphers and secret codes were used to ensure that the contents of a letter could not be read… In haste, the spy swallowed the silver ball to avoid detection.

Other materials were used to hide messages, ranging from buttons on a textile to hollowed out small, silver balls. One particularly unlucky British spy named Daniel Taylor was caught in New Windsor, New York with a message sent from Henry Clinton to John Burgoyne hidden inside one of these small silver balls. In haste, the spy swallowed the silver ball to avoid detection. However, Patriot soldiers forced the spy to drink a purgative and vomit up the ball. Momentarily undeterred, Taylor grabbed the ball and swallowed it again. Under the threat of being hanged and having the ball cut out of his stomach, Taylor relented. However, Taylor would eventually meet the cruel fate of the gallows, executed on October 16, 1777.

I dunno about me… well, how about you?

General made a general mistake
Major has made a major problem
What’s at stake is solemn
Subject to corporal punishment
In our private establishment

What shall we do?
I dunno about me… well, how about you?

Have the bugler sound an alarm
‘less we all suffer harm
Not sure who is at fault
But now we’re under assault

While the admiral does admire
His ship sinking and on fire
In the end was he just liar?
Maybe it’s time to retire
