LYRICS
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7… all good children go to heaven
At 8… through the pearly gate
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 through the pearly gate
Next 9, just in time
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. 8. 9 then 10… they (you) get to do it again

Chorus
Reincarnation celebration
Coming to a lifetime in you
Reincarnation celebration
Truly transparent view

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 do you think you’ll be forgiven?
Or, 8… too late?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8… pray I don’t come back as fish bait
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9… pray I have a spine

LYRICS
If you want to see the vigor in me
Step a little closer and see what you see
If you want to see victory in “we”
Get off your high horse… come down from your tree

Chorus
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you
And, I really wonder what you’re up to
There use to be a place we could meet
Any more, I’m not sure if there’s a seat

If you want to see the real me
Take a closer look — intimacy
If you want to see the victorious us
Head right on course… get in focus

Chorus

From the womb to the tomb
Gonna live it the fullest… that I am!
From the bomb to the boom
Gonna let my soul, self, spirit scream

LYRICS
Despite what you might have thought was insight
The consensus — might doesn’t make right
Try as you may… try as you might
In the end, it’s you that you slight

Chorus
In everything that you do
Try to pull through
’till the skies are blue
You can always depend on me to pull through
… can I depend on you?

In spite of the nose on your face
The mucus — blight clogging your sight
Cut it off so you can deface
Come on… don’t try to swallow more than you can bite

Chorus

So, you cut of your nose to spite your face
Why not cut off your ear… ya know… Van Gogh?
So, you put off your mate to curse your fate
Crawl into the light out of your dark space

LYRICS
What do you think happened to your brain
To make you behave so strange
Is it in your genes… you’re mean… you strain
Turned into nails on the blackboard… people cringe

Is there hope you can be saved
Before you reach your grave
Is there a chance you’re less enraged
Relief from how you behave?

Chorus

What do you think happened to your heart
When it comes to unconditional love… you forgot
Over time your goodness did depart
Then, you left those you love to rot

Happy emancipation to you
Gonna make a proclamation or two
Justification avenue
Coming to a city within view

Always too early to begin
Telling lies, hatred and sin
It’s never too late to begin
Feeling young inside again

It’s always too early to begin
Stealin’, robbin’, rapin’ and hatin’
It’s never too late to begin
Beloving the living of lovin’

LYRICS
Funny how one thing leads to another
Before you know it… it’s a chain reaction
Honey draws the flies more than vinegar
Suppose the choice lies in your selection

Chorus
Do you wonder how the other half lives
You might be surprised how much they give
Do you wonder, “What is my purpose?”
Is it more tan to be you, 2, 3, 4… for all of us

Sunny one minute cloudy the next
Before you know it… it’s a climate action
Money draws the lies out of context
Impose their will as some sort-of fiction

Chorus

Bunny goes from hunted to hunter
Who’s gonna die… who’s gonna live
The problem is not that perplexed
We will cause our own extinction

Off the frying pan and into the fire

Ouch!

Mary had a little lamb and tied it to a heater
Every time it turned around
It burned it’s little seater

Sitting on a hot plate
Sitting on the stove
Temperature is temperate
What about the love?

Man has induced
Exponential
Runaway train

Could we manage
To reproduce
Expressional love
Just the same

Ouch! Are we insane
Bringing on the pain
Ouch! Do some remain
That want good to re-gain

The song was inspired by a heat wave during the last week of May. I tried sitting on my usual songwriting wall, but the stone was so hot it burned my rear. If we could only love as good as we pollute?

Maybe if you stand on your toes

If you believe in the search
Matters not the Emperor’s clothes

LYRICS
If you grab the tail of an alligator
Better be prepared to say, “See ya later!”
Before it’s too late… you’d better evacuate
Before you bake fate… no need to speculate
At the core, your spirit elevate

If you grab the tail of a rattlesnake
Better be prepared that’s all you can take
Before it’s too late, you’d better forsake
Before you bake fate, open your eyes — awake!
Love and honest faith you can’t fake

Hey! I just wanted to say
It’s a perfect day

As you hurry along your way
Can you pause long enough to play
As you scramble through the day
Can you cause long enough to stay

Chorus

As you scurry along your way
Did you does serve to purvey
As you ramble… talking away
Will your good deeds far outweigh

As you worry about your pay
Does the stress cause decay
As you gamble action replay
Will your soul wilt, wither… fray

Hey! I just wanted to say
Hope you enjoy every single day

LYRICS
What do you know that is good?
What are you going to do for food
In your neighborhood?

What is good that you know?
When it comes to knowledge
Where you gonna go?

Who’s your friend? Who’s your foe?
Who is driving the wedge
Between yes and no?

What is good that you know?
Gonna live by the sword…
Die by the plow?

Writing a Monsanto Protest Song in West Chester, PA

ABOUT THIS SONG
At one of my usual haunts for writing music, I had begun a songwriting session… when, a group of people started gathering around me. It appeared as though my “office” had become the site of a Monsanto protest.

So, I figured I’d write this song about it; however, I didn’t have a title. As I went to record the a video of the music, an alarm went off. It seemed to fit. Thus, the name of the song.

And, the people know

LYRICS
Eighty-one degrees
When you’re sitting under the trees
Not even a hint of a cool, cool breeze

Thawing the perma-freeze
Deforestation, our own worst enemy
The human blight on serenity

How long will we go on
Until we stop, stop, stop?
How long will go on
Until we drop, drop, drop?

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Capo 3

This song is about global warming and a hot, humid day in early May. When my kids were very young, we considered buying a vacation house in Florida. I warned them that climate change would turn Pennsylvania into a Florida house by the time they had grandchildren. I was wrong. Today, Pennsylvania is turning tropical in May.
