LYRICS
The more I listen
The more urgent is heard
The more I listen
The more actions for words

The severity of rarity
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God

The disparity of prosperity
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God

The vanity of humanity
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God

The intensity of insanity
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God

The rationing of rationally
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God

LYRICS
Why, what’s better than not?
Strike while the iron’s hot
Let the hammer fall
If you want to shape it all

Form the molten metal
Plow it into shares
Once and for all settle
The order of affairs
(The “who” of who cares)

Form the words into swords
Mightier than deceit
Enlightenment of what is meant
The receiver of receipt
(Making hearts skip a beat)

LYRICS
If you’ve got it and you know it
Are you going to show it?
If you’ve got it and you show it
Please don’t blow it
Hubris, this is Nemesis
A doctoral thesis
On the human species

If you want it then you flaunt it
Might as well forego it
’cause you know it when you show it
Oh, you no, no it

Too big for your britches
Pulling out the stitches
The higher is tall…
Further the fall

If you’ve got it then you drop it
Know it’s going to stop it
It’s time to understand
“In the palm of your hand”

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When you said “honestly”
Thought you meant for real
Now you have lost me
Scrutinize the deal
Do you think your ranting ‘s
Enchanting?
A rather dumb
Temper tantrum

Surprise
Won’t cover-up lies
Realize
No matter how hard one tries….

When you said “trust me”
Thought you meant for real
Now, will you confide in me
Scrutinize the deal

What? More?
Torrential downpour
When you reign
We are poor
Light of my life
Come ’round that cloud
Shine the light bright
Sing it out loud (aloud)

No more
Torrential downpour
When you reign
We are poor

Time for

At last
First is last
Once more
Torrential uppoor (uproar!)
Quenched thirst
Last is first

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m telling you
Let’s see it through
You were born to run
Don’t you hear the starting gun
Born to run
What better thing can be done
Born to run
And everything will be O.K. today

I’m telling you
Let’s see it through
You were born to run
Your bindings have come undone
Born to run
Our days numbered under the sun
Born to run
And everything will be O.K. today

I’m asking you
Let’s see it through
We were born to run
A whole lot more than having one
Born to run
Finally finishing having some
Born to run
And everything will be O.K. today

LYRICS
A fishy fish story
About its tall tail tale
Took a turn toward gory
With words that impale
Exhale
Exalt
Inhale
Doubt fault
(Halt)
Deceit laced with lies
Broken promises
Receipt of “wonder whys”
The hammer kisses
Nailed!
Caught in your own net
A sure bet you’ll regret
Should have cut bait, set sail
Before the storm… now bail!
Piece by peace
The truth we release
Aid the weak and frail
And what it will entail

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
For all we can save
Come out of your cave
Take it to your grave…
… or…
Freedom from enslave
Free to do
All that’s due
Do what you can do
(You do, do too, to do, do too)

How humans behave?
Come out of your cave
There’s lives to save
Before the grave
Do you believe in naive
… or…
Ignorance is bliss?
Said the ostrich head
Buried so deep
No one heard a peep

Hear no evil
See no evil
Speaks the devil
The sin unto him
Is a virtue
Free to do
All that’s due
You do what you do

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What grows in the garden
Is born to be free
To beggin’ your pardon
The garden includes me
One thing’s for certain
Fire on the mountain
See the see breaking free

Can’t hide from the rising tide
Wildfire to mudslide
See the falling of the last tree

The fly is in the ointment
Spoiled in resentment
See the calamity of “Be”

Out of the fryer into the fire
Situation dire… tide rising higher
See the sea breaking free

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The last thing
Is the first thing
That jumps into mind
The first thing
Is the last thing
When it comes to being kind
Wake up! Open my eyes
Might be in for a real surprise
Surfs up! Catch a wave
Come on, girl, we’ve a world to save

Look around! I think it’s proven
Yes, I’ve found the world is grooving
The cream of life with a cherry on top
The times are rife with dance. Don’t stop!

The street’s alive with gliding feet
My treat that we get to meet
Fun and games our humor remains
Feeling sane. No aches or pains

LYRICS
What else can I say
Another beautiful day
Hope is on its way
Make way
The sun is shinning down
Not a frown found all around
Children quick to frolic
Young at heart foray at play
The warm tease of a cool breeze
A gentle wind through the trees
Reflections of my memories
Forever cherish days like these
[Latin jam]
Embrace a smile on every fact
Dogs prance while their masters dance
Church bells ring as the birds sing
Romance fills the air… love is everywhere

bookmark_borderWant Some? (The Law of Marginal Utility)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What if you want some
What if you got some
What if you got some…
But, want some more?
Did you take a look around
The storm clouds are baring down
Raise your praise to the sky
Then, you’ll wonder why

What if you had none
What if you had some
What if you had some…
But, want some more?

Now that you’ve got some
Now that you’ve had some
How come then some sum
Isn’t better than one?
(Ain’t much better)
You earn the diminishing return
(Earn diminishing return)
You’re reaction
To “Can’t get know satisfaction”

ABOUT THE SONG
In the context of cardinal utility, economists speak of a law of diminishing marginal utility, meaning that the first unit of consumption of a good or service yields more pleasure than the second and subsequent units, with a continuing reduction for greater amounts. Therefore, the fall in marginal utility as consumption increases is known as diminishing marginal utility.

LYRICS
Turn the page
In the age
Of the sage
On the edge
Of the ledge
A.I.
Aye, aye captain
(eye, eye)
(I, I)
Are you certain
You know
Where you are going?
Row, row, row
The negligence
Of my artificial intelligence
Do tell
Due tell
Intel
On intelligence
Arrogance
Of enlightenment
Meant
Our brief moment
Who knows?
Cut off my knows
To spite my face
Or embrace
All natural
Intelligence?

LYRICS
Make America great
For the first time
Sick-and-tired tirade
On political crime
Ring the corrupt out
Scream and shout
Ring the corrupt
Wring the corrupt
Wring out
Ring out
Obstruction of “obstruction of justice”
This is a thesis
Of feces
Free to fail
Never go to jail?
This train…
Has gone off the rail

LYRICS
Is that your nose that grows,
Pinocchio
More lies than thumbs in pies,
Little Jack Horner
Humanity’s mourner
Hate’s fate
Around the corner
Follow the leader’s lead
Nations will bleed
Freedom’s fiefdom dumb
Never the learner
Chief commander of grief
Your President
Delusional and collusional
You represent
Fantastic plastic from sea to sea
(Shining see to shining see)
Our legacy
Less Redwood Forest… Rocky Mountain tragedy (travesty)
Our history
