Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Will the wolf pack
Have a heart attack
when they have to come clean
’bout being obscene
Want my money back
’cause your service lacks
Official my ass
You’ve got no class
An upheaval
It’s the principle
Of the matter
That matters
A surprising uprising

When you lay down with sleaze
Are you going to get fleas
Leave ’em the keys
And monkey flees
What are you going to do
Animals running the zoo
Watch your step
Poo up to your hip

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you still the same
Or going more insane
Membrane getting lame
Growing more insane
Take a step back
Catch the breath you lack
Prey for the day
Capture the allure
Be the cure
Rest assure

Are you growing old
A story never told
Has your heart grown cold
As you sold your soul

While I still can breath
Going to believe
There is no better way
Than living for today

LYRICS
One in a long, long time
Once in a blue moon
I’m falling into some childhood nursery rhyme
Coming again so soon?
Once in a “upon a time”
Once in a cartoon
I’m falling into some childhood nursery rhyme
Coming again so soon?
Once in a century’s crime
Once the cow jumps the moon
I’m falling into some childhood nursery rhyme
Coming again so soon?
Once in a lifetime
“Once” begins to loom
I’m falling into some childhood nursery rhyme
Coming again so soon?

LYRICS
Storm clouds blowing
A cold wind chills
Best start running
Head for the hills
Thunder rolling
A storm cloud spills
Best be running
Head for the hills

The land starts to slide
Grand landslide
The rocks start to roll
Where’s my hole/whole
God will tan my hide
No place left to hide
Heads are going to roll
Where’s my hole/whole

Hard rain’s falling
Up the spine chills
Best start running
Head for the hills
She’s outgunning
A look that kills
Best be running
Head for the hills

LYRICS
What is this monstrosity
We’ve made out of me?
Because this is not my destiny
(No, this ain’t my destiny)
Surely
Moving up
To a higher vibration
Moving up
To a higher elevation
Gonna shed this monkey suit
It’s time I “do it”
Time to wring
The monstrosity out of me
Take wing
From your destiny
Is see
It’s time to be me

LYRICS
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down
As the down-and-out
Get driven out-of-town
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down
If there’s any doubt
Just look around
[jam]

Will they all find out
They’ve become the clown
The more they scream and shout
The more they pout and frown
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down

Did the id get full of clout
Turning verb to noun
Soon the last will be en route
… first to wear the crown
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down

LYRICS
The bridge is burning
The bridge is burning
The bridge is burning
Behind you
Whatcha gonna do?
Burning bridges behind you
Behind… feel like an ass?
Then, you said,
“Burn the bridge ahead!”
Watch gonna do
Your ass is on fire
Then, your desire
“Flame what’s ahead,”
You said.
What a shame…
Flame
Burning bridges
Now, where are you going to go
Do you know
Nowhere to run
Your road is done

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If you try and try again
Fall and fail and try again
It really is not a sin
To end up where you begin
With murder and rape
There’s no debate
The hangman’s drawin’ near
If I have my druthers
“Help others!”
Music to my ears
Maybe its not too late
To appreciate
A more moral all

The deal with your glory
It’s hell in overkill
The moral of the story
Don’t steal God’s goodwill

bookmark_borderBy Christmas Eve

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Setting sail for a distant shore
One I’ve never been to before
Don’t know if I’ll make it for sure
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

Waiting for the four winds to blow
Which direction I don’t know
All I know is I’ve got to go
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

This isn’t the same sad ‘ole song
I can’t wait to be moving along
Set my sight for right left wrong
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

If days and nights should turn to years
Please alleviate your fears
Love can be dear no matter how near
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

(Lord, relieve me!)

A panacea for all’s ailment
Meant to alleviate

New York Times Photo of a Starving Child in Yemen

LYRICS
We’ve got ourselves one hell-of-a situation
One nation… divided….
Where’s the God? (How odd)
Are the children all invisible
How is it possible
Without a single care about their air
While the yes-men are starving them in Yemen
Amen?
Giving up on that is where I’m at
A women
I concede is the touch we need

What about the grandchildren?
The massive debt we’ve left for them
Shot our load watching bombs explode
Stubborn fools burning fossil fuels
While the yes-men are starving them in Yemen
Amen?
Giving up on that is where I’m at
A women
I concede is the touch we need

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about children… and Facebook removing a New York Times picture of a 7-year-old girl named Amal that is starving to death due to the war in Yemen.

“Photo of a Starving Girl in Yemen Prompts Facebook to Remove Posts of Article”

For a few hours after The New York Times published an article about conflict and hunger in Yemen, Facebook temporarily removed posts from readers who had tried to share the report on the social platform.
At issue was a photograph of a starving child.
