LYRICS
Some are living hand to jowl
Others don’t care…
Don’t care at all
The pis hoppin’ in their slop
Gorge n’ hoardin’
They’ll never stop
Some are living hand to jowl
Others don’t care…
Don’t care at all
There’s just no stoppin’
Pigs from their sloppin’
They’ll take your share
As though you’re not there

LYRICS
The four headless horsemen
Rode into The End of Times
Depicting the worsening
From humanity’s crimes
Remember the time
You were unaware?
Remember the time
You really didn’t care?
Remember the time
You wouldn’t share?
Remember the time
You were not there!
1. Unaware
2. Didn’t care
3. Wouldn’t share
4. Were not there
Justice is fair

LYRICS
The seriousness of the situation
Is such…
If we keep turning the temperature up…
Much
Don’t you think
Our time will shrink?
With nothing to drink
Our… well…
You know…
Our thirst will grow
And it’s hard to get down
On the downbeat
With nothing to eat
No doubt a drought
As waste from our haste
Comes flooding in…
We begin
The End

LYRICS
Cast a shadow
On tomorrow
Tread lightly
Cast a shadow
On tomorrow
Thread tightly
The seams of our dreams
Sows the seems of woes or beams
Don’t let my shadow
Darken the door
Of tomorrow
Cast a shadow
On tomorrow
Tread lightly
Cast a shadow
On tomorrow
Thread tightly
Our veils set sail
And reveal the deal for real
Don’t let my shadow
Darken the door
Of tomorrow

LYRICS
Do you know
How far to go
Blow by blow
I don’t know
Could you feel for the edge
I’ve a feeling we’re on a ledge
Precariously perched
On the precipice
(My pants, I…. psssst)
Do you know
How far to go
Blow by blow
I don’t know
Could you feel for my hand
I’m trying to understand
On the precipice
(My pants, I…. psssst)
Do you know
How far to go
Blow by blow
I don’t know
Could you explain to me
The myth of destiny
On the precipice
(My pants, I…. psssst)
Do you know
How far to go
Blow by blow
I don’t know

LYRICS
As the sun goes high in the sky
The earth on Earth goes dry
Perhaps it’s time to wonder why
We’ve turned it into do or die
We let out a cumulative sigh
Perhaps too late to wail and cry
We’ve turned it into do or die
We let out a collective sigh
As the sky blackens with storm clouds
Thunder roars like the Gods out loud
River banks burst… a new high tide
No, you can’t run, and you can’t hide
What do you call this hurricane
Not enough Greek letters left to name
As the sun goes high in the sky
The earth on Earth goes dry
Perhaps it’s time to wonder why
We’ve turned it into do or die
We let out a cumulative sigh
Perhaps too late to wail and cry
We’ve turned it into do or die
We let out a collective sigh

LYRICS
I’m really going to miss you
When you’re gone
I’m really going to miss you
When you go
(Don’t know…
… if I can carry on?!?!)
Going to miss you, air
When you’re not there
Gonna miss you, water
That’s for sure
And the future
Of grandson and daughter
Going to miss you, food
Always in the mood
Flora and fauna
No la, la, la nor na, na, na
Knee-high in bye-bye
Best make haste
Up to my waist
What the heck
Up to my neck

LYRICS
Are you sure that’s the cure
I don’t think so
As the damned demand more
We’ve not far to go
You ask why
Limited supply
The price… sky high
Then, you go to throw
Out, out, out
You’d think?
Everything… even the kitchen sink
Taking in… in the age of excess baggage
Again and again
Going about
Throwing out

LYRICS
Overrun by the rate of consumption
Wouldn’t be so bad if they’d just consume
But they presume
To excrete excrement
And won’t relent
Indeed they proceed
To excrete excrement
Extra-meant
The damned consumer demands
Then cries
About the source of supply
Cry, cry, cry
The demand be damned
Overrun by the rate of consumption
Wouldn’t be so bad if I’d just consume
But I presume
To excrete excrement
And won’t relent
Indeed I proceed
To excrete excrement
Extra-meant

LYRICS
Can you check to see which station
I dialed?
Don’t you think the sounds of things have
Gone wild?
Wildfires burning
While the seas are over churning
Glaciers receding
All of nature’s bleeding
Can you check to see which station
I dialed?
Don’t you think the sounds of things have
Gone wild?
Temperature’s soaring
Invading North — the boring
Ocean’s rising
Is it at all surprising?
Can you check to see which station
I dialed?
Don’t you think the sounds of things have
Gone wild?
Multitude of species dying
While politicians are lying
No one’s heeding
All of nature’s bleeding
Can you check to see which station
I dialed?
Don’t you think the sounds of things have
Gone wild?

LYRICS
Got to one better
when does it let up
Forgive one’s debtor
When do you give up
Where does it end
Again and again
Where does it end
The message we send
My grass is greener
When does it let up
Our neighbor’s meaner
When do you give up
Where does it end
Again and again
Where does it end
The message we send
My pile’s bigger
When does it let up
Light up a cigar
When do you give up
Where does it end
Again and again
Where does it end
The message we send

LYRICS
What do you say
Maybe today
We’ll find a way
For a getaway
Choose a rat race in the city
Or squealing n’ getting gritty like a pig
Not really a matter of being witty
More about where you dig
What do you say
Maybe today
We’ll find a way
For a getaway
Making excuses over wealth
Questioning wealth’s worth
Seeking elixirs for our health
Beckoning the death of Earth
What do you say
Maybe today
We’ll find a way
For a getaway
Get away
From confusion of pollution
Get away
From “See me. Me!”
Get away
From assume and consume
Get away
From confusion of pollution
Get away
From “See me. Me!”

LYRICS
Will you ever get out of there?
Once the world starts to care
Will you ever get out of there?
Once the world becomes aware
And believe me…
It’ won’t be a moment too soon
Seeing how the hammer does loom
Will we ever get out of here?
Once the world starts to hear
Will we ever get out of here?
Soon it all becomes clear
Once the world becomes aware
And believe me…
It’ won’t be a moment too soon
Seeing how the hammer does loom
No, not a moment too soon
— The loon beneath the full moon
A song about The War in Ukraine, The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment, and other man-made atrocities.

LYRICS
It’s amazing how the buds
Know when to bloom
Not too late
Not too soon
It’s not too late
To let the bees pollinate
Best not to wait
Turn to procrastinate
Get off the fence
And in defense
Get off the fence
And in offense
Named — play the game
It’s amazing how my buds
Know not the doom
With the date
Looming soon
It’s not too late
To let their brains pollinate
Best not to wait
Turn to procrastinate
Get off the fence
And in defense
Get off the fence
And in offense
Named — play the game

LYRICS
Muster up the strength and courage
To usher in our new age
Come find out
About inside out
Our insides can’t do without out
Not me nor you
Can make it through
Without out
We take out in
In continuum
Without out
We’d be in a vacuum
Our insides can’t do without out
Not me nor you
Can make it through
Without out
Muster up the strength and courage
To usher in our new age
Come find out
About inside out
