LYRICS
Hello! How do you do?
You say, “Beautiful day.”
Sky a lovely blue hue
I say, “Pleased to meet you.”

Have a minute to spare?
Sure love if you would share
You say, “Least I can do.”
I say, “Pleased to meet you.”

Before you’re on your way
I would just like to say
“I’m glad to have met you.”
You reply, “So am I”

Yes, pleased to meet you, too

LYRICS
Pollute and pollute
’til we’re all going to die
And, I don’t know why

Resolute and destitute
And, it makes me cry
’cause I don’t know why

Refute the absolute
Facts make you sigh
And, I don’t know why

Institute of ill repute
A sty in the “I”
And, I don’t know why

Re-route and re-root
Let’s try a new try
And, answer the question why

The self-fulfilling prophecy of humanity
What destiny shall we be?

A free vote to be free

LYRICS
Did I just hear you say
They’re giving the good-life away
Free for the taking all day
What dues do you have to pay
What “do’s” do you have to pay

Better be on my way
Heard the news today
They’re giving the good-life away
What dues do you have to pay
What “do’s” do you have to pay

Proclaim “the day of all days / daze”
They’re giving the good-life away
Free for the taking all day
No dues to pay
Just “do’s” they say
… giving the good life away

LYRICS
Oh, please! In days such as these
I see apathy as disease
Did you know when you cope
You give others hope

Here’s a few clues
There is no fake knews
Did you know when you believe
It’s a true relief
Relieve by true belief

Oh, please! In days such as these
I see apathy as disease
Did you know when you smile
You go the extra mile

Oh, please! In days such as these
I see apathy as disease
Did you know your sympathy
Is the cure of apathy

LYRICS
No, not I
Need ask why
Time to try
Do or die
Now the blues have departed
Let’s get this party started
Together the kind-hearted
Get the party started

We can rely on the 4th of July
For that Philadelphia Spirit
Let’s hear it!

We can rely on the 4th of July
Are you aware we declare
Independence
“You’re free to dance”

We can rely on the 4th of July
A declaration of celebration
Good news! The red, white and blues
Roll out the tide of pride
Arrived
Survived

Rely on the 4th Of July.mp3

LYRICS
While tryin’ livin’ the life given
At large
My biggest concern is to discern
Who’s in charge?
Are you ready to believe it
Ready to believe it
Ready to believe it or not

Searchin’ for some relief
From this disbelief
The certainty of this reality
Causing too much grief

A babbling, blabbing, bullying
Commander In Chief
Under a rock a cartoon loon
Was beneath

Are you ready to believe it
Ready to believe it
Ready to believe it or not
Brain rot
This nation’s got
Brain rot
Believe it or not

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The sun beats down upon my brow
I know somehow… must escape now
My head is hot, the skin does burn
I yearn to learn to take the turn
And, wade into the shade
Nature’s aid heat fade
Just a small bit of a respite
A breeze and me under a tree

The sun bears down upon my back
My bare back feels under attack
Humidity is killing thee
Not even clouds shelter me

The sun shines down on all around
No air conditioning to be found
Quick! Before I feel skin peel
Will you help me find the real deal?
Let’s wade into the shade
Nature’s aid heat fade
Just a small bit of a respite
We with a breeze under a tree

LYRICS
I was just sittin’ there
Minding my own business
Tryin’ to write/right a few bars
When I was approached by a bear
I said, “What is this….
A man dressed as a panda?”
Wahla la la… little green men from mars
Going mental
Being over judgemental

I was just sittin’ there
Minding my own business
Tryin’ to write/right a lil’ jig
When out of no where
I said, “What is this….
A man dressed as a pig?”
Wahla la la… dig, dig, dig
Going mental
Being over judgemental

I was just sittin’ there
Minding my own business
Tryin’ to span a jam
When I was approached by a man
I said, “What is this….
A man dressed as a human?”
Wahla la la… I am human
Going mental
Being over judgemental

Obsessive compulsive
Judgemental ill

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Whenever I see you passing by
You bow you’re head when you say “hi”
I’m confident in your confidence
And the beauty of your essence

I don’t know why you’re still bashful
I don’t know why you’re so shy
Can you tell it’s time to come out of you shell
Time to make the choice to raise your voice

Whenever I pass you on the street
You greet like we never did meet
Then, after a short while
You’re wearing the widest smile

I bet if you try to sing
That’d cure just about everything
Then, by chance if you start to dance
You might swing into a new romance

LYRICS
The wind came and blew my money
The wind came and blew my money
I swear, Lord
The wind came and blew my money away
Save me from this day

Working all day to collect some pay
More misfortune came my way
Born a blues tune on this day
It ain’t funny
The wind came and blew my money
The wind came and blew my money
The wind came and blew my money away
Hey! No way
Blew it under my feet
Out onto the street
And it made me shutter
Watching if fall into the gutter
Wind, I’m begging you
Please blow me away, too
To a land where we land together
Living happily forever and ever

LYRICS
Is this your last summer break
Before you move along?
Why not take all you can take
At being nimble and strong
Make the best of the rest
Preparing for your test
No more lax school rules
Survival of the fittest
It’s survival of the fittest

The last summer vacation
Before moving on
Part of life’s station-to-station
Knowledge is never done

Education’s on summer recess
Prepared to confess
Time is not useless
Let’s start the progress

No vacation from graduation

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Surrounded by people that are all alone
All together we share Earth as home,
As long as you’re here, you’re never alone
As long as you hear, “bringing it home”
Yeah, bring it on home!

Feel the beat of the feet on the street
What’s meant by the movement of the pavement
Can you feel the groove in the way people move

An object in motion has no notion
What does it mean doing the same routine
Where ever you roam if life is a poem
You can bring it on home

Ugly ducking, no swan, play the part of the pawn
I swear are you aware of the cross you’ll bear
Quick! Let music fix your sick
You’re not along… bring it on home

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m trying avoiding dying by living
The more living I’m giving
The more living I’m given
Earth is heaven

No! It doesn’t get much better than living
I hear being dead is a drag
Not my cup of tea… not my bag
Mummification is not forgiving
(You’ll never fail to be wrapped up in the detail)

No! It doesn’t get much better than living
In the cemetery I overheard
You bet bored being stiff-as-a-board
Decomposition is not forgiving

No! It doesn’t get much better than living
Learned the most “lesson of the ghost”
Can’t uncook your burnt toast
Cremation is not forgiving

Chorus:
I’m trying avoiding dying by living
The more living I’m giving
The more living I’m given
Earth is heaven

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Who needs drugs or a gun
When you’re already dead
From your heart to your head?
We’ve come undone
From the hatred we’ve bred

Standing way out in left field
America’s favorite passed time
Don’t ever show ’em how you feel
Or they’ll steal this bliss and our sublime

Blanding infecting the healed
America’s irate past lives
Selling the soul is “The Art of the Deal”
Watching as humanity dives

I understand the movement at hand
Is to harvest our “heart” land
And know the bounty will overflow
Our love can grow and grow
And then go and go

Harvest Our Heartland.mp3
