Chester County – Page 10 – ExperiMental Music

LYRICS
The fallacy of their bureaucracy
Is embedded in their head
The fallacy of their bureaucracy
Is headed where we dread
In fact, it’s quite frightening
Getting struck twice by lightning
(The hypocrisy of the bureaucracy)

The fallacy of their bureaucracy
Rains reign on our head
The fallacy of their bureaucracy
Reigns the arts are dead
In fact, it’s quite frightening
Getting struck twice by lightning
(The hypocrisy of the bureaucracy)

The fallacy of their bureaucracy
Don’t let it be spoon-fed
The fallacy of their bureaucracy
Should be eliminated instead
The hypocrisy of the bureaucracy
The fallacy of their democracy
The hypocrisy of the bureaucracy
The hypocrisy of their democracy
The fallacy of their bureaucracy
The hypocrisy of the bureaucracy

Ass-U-Me

Posted on September 23, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Do you like staring a gift horse
In the mouth
Are running the same coarse
Every month
Let’s see… assume
Hmmmm…
Shall I assume you’ll make an ass of you and me
Ass-u-me

Do you like cutting off your nose
Spite your face
Do you assume and suppose
Deserved space?

Dirty Secret

Posted on September 20, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
The secret
Is their dirty habit —
They’ll never admit
They did it

As I watch their eye
Watching me…
It’s pretty darn easy
For you to see

Their bond of conspiracy
Is troubling… deeply
An eye for an eye
Or lie upon lie

Their command of literacy
Is lacking… completely
Unless their heresy
Is based on hypocrisy

When the Music Hits the Fan

Posted on September 19, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
The people’s feet
Hitting the street
We’re in for a real treat
Fan interaction
To the soul’s satisfaction

The people fade
Into a parade
The crowd sings out loud
With loving affection
To the soul’s satisfaction

A two-year-old
Gives his two cents
Showin’ the old
How to be gents
Fan appreciation
To the soul’s satisfaction

When the Music Hits the Fan.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG

Vocals, Guitar

Written at the corners of Gay and Church Streets and High and Market Streets. Recorded in Chester County, West Chester, PA.

This is a song about the music lovers in West Chester. While I was writing a song about appreciating the fans, a two-year-old walked over to me. He reached into his pocket and gave me two shiny pennies. Later in the day, a lady came up to me and said, “You are a staple of the community. I love driving into my town and hearing you.”

Thank you!

Set Yourself Free

Posted on September 19, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Set yourself free
Let me be

A jerk of the knee
Reaction
Brought out the ugly
Complexion
Set yourself free
Let me be

Wanna tick of maybe a flea
Something you can’t shake easily
Set yourself free
Let me be

You got the stain on the brain
You couldn’t refrain
Sucking/flushing down the drain
Set yourself free
Let me be

Gag reflex inflects
Expulsion of regrets
Still, inflect
Less ill will
Set yourself free
Let me be

Feeling a bit abrupt
Over the corrupt
But know in The End

Friend Or Foe?

Posted on September 17, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Friend or foe?
Hard to know
Hard to know
Friend or foe?

That’s the way things can go
If we don’t say “No!”
Friend or foe?
Hard to know

Who would of guessed the law ‘ld lie
Promise, cross my heart… hope to die
Friend or foe?
Hard to know

How did all the cops become criminals
On the evolutionary scale barely animals
Friend or foe?
Hard to know

Take advantage of the disadvantaged
The whole world should be outraged
Friend or foe?
Hard to know

The Mayor’s Mansion

Posted on September 15, 2016September 15, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Better watch out or they’re gonna get you
If you let your guard down
There’s not much you can do
When the mayor wears a golden crown

Everything smashes to ashes
And we all fall down
Our sacred Constitution
Usurped by The Institution

A song written at the Mayor’s mansion
That was born on the back of others’ misfortune
The stink of hate ain’t up for debate
Elite feast on their despise of the least

Chorus

The message they’ll send in the end
“It broke. It would not bend.”
Now, humanity can not mend
Because your message was “The End”

The Mayor’s Mansion.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Style: ExperiMental Music

Recording: live

Vocals, Guitar

Inspired by Mayor Carolyn Comitta and events at the corner of Gay and Church Streets. Recorded at the Mayor’s mansion in West Chester, PA.

WEST CHESTER, PA — The West Chester Police department continues to be tangled in an ever-growing web of police misconduct and illegal activities. Now, Police Chief Scott Bohn and Mayor Carolyn Comitta are being called into question.

Starting in April, multiple police officers have been implicated in retaliation, witness intimidation, obstruction of justice, lying under oath, falsifying police reports, conspiracy to commit a crime, interfering with an internal affairs investigation, police misconduct, terroristic threats, harassment, civil rights violations and hate crimes.

The line “Our sacred constitution
Usurped by The Institution” was inspired by a long time West Chester resident that heard about The Busking Ordinance. Thomas said, “That’s against the Constitution!”

No Encore?

Posted on September 15, 2016September 15, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
If this is the last time
I’m gonna have a good time
I was told when I grow old
I’m gonna leave behind my body and mind
A collision course
With mass extinction
Of course

Not gonna hide for the final ride
Take my inside outside
And spread it wide
I’m gonna spread the word that man’s absurd
Climb to the highest rung
Sung from the top of my lungs
“Oh, man. Oh, my, my, Lord”

’til they drop the curtain for our last bow
I’m gonna make certain there’s not somehow
To save some space for the human race
And ya know… enjoy the thrill of the show

The child fighter makes for a real nail-biter

Do you know there’s no more encore?

What? There’s no encore? I paid good money for this ticket!

No Encore? .mp3

The Uncouth Truth

Posted on September 13, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
There’s something wrong going on

It’s easy for me to see there’s something wrong with our authority
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills

Want the truth? It ain’t gonna happen
Liars are doing all their yappin’
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills

Public servants play the con
The misdeeds go on and on
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills

Twisting the truth is so uncouth
Beyond recognition to tell the truth

Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills
There’s something wrong going on

Stretching the truth to the breaking point
Check your gun at this juke joint

There’s something wrong going on

Dance Reflex

Posted on September 11, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
There’s nothing much more that I enjoy
(Then) making you jump for joy

Moving ’round jumping up and down
Like a Mexican jumping bean
Making a smile out of any frown
Happier human being

There’s nothing much more that I enjoy
(Then) making you jump for joy

Getting down while twirling ’round
Like a pinwheel in the breeze
With moves to make you ballroom bound
A dance reflex… like a sneeze

There’s nothing much more that I enjoy
(Then) making you jump for joy

Making you move around
Jumping up and down

Uniform Zombies

Posted on September 10, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Can I get a men?

Knock ’em down but they keep on coming
Wild-eyed with mouths foaming
Did I mention their disease looks rabid
No rhyme or reason… God forbid!

Amen?
Barely resembles a man
Amen?
Need a moratorium… some sort-of ban

A bunch of zombies coming after me
They have no brains. That’s easy to see
When it comes to soul, none remains
Gonna wrap you up and put you in chains

Amen?
Barely resembles a man
Amen?
Need a moratorium… some sort-of ban

LYRICS
There’s a bad juju
All over you

Now whatcha gonna do?
Perjure yourself again and again
In this lifetime, they call that a sin
And, well…
Then, they call it… hello reality
Gonna get the best in me

There’s a bad juju
All over you
There’s egg on your face
A total disgrace

Dismissed

Posted on September 2, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
Going from pissed to dismissed
For what they missed — dismissed
Dismissed
You’re dismissed

Call Thomas, Esquire when straights are dire
Both chambers loaded, cocked… fire!
Dismissed
You’re dismissed

Order in the court. Here comes the judge
And he’s the sort that likes to hold a grudge
“Oh, no! You’re not free to go.”

I must confess you’ve no witness
If no one witnessed, case dismissed
Dismissed
You’re dismissed

Finally a chance
Justice scales balance
Celebration dance
Blind justice glance

Celebratory dance
Scales balance

Dismissed
You’re dismissed
You’re free to go, ya know?

BLIND JUSTICE GLANCE

Lady Justice — Since the 15th century, Lady Justice has often been depicted wearing a blindfold. The blindfold represents objectivity, in that justice is or should be meted out objectively, without fear or favour, regardless of money, wealth, fame, power, or identity; blind justice and impartiality.
