But, Here’s The Thing:

Posted on June 14, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
One thing leads to another
Before you know it
Know-body knows
Where they’re at
Perhaps by chance
You know the dance
Cultural swing
But, here’s the thing:
[jam]

Two things come together
Before you know it
Know-body knows
Where they’re at
Perhaps by chance
You know the dance
Cultural swing
But, here’s the thing:
[jam]

We bring the forever
Before you know it
We all know where it’s at
Perhaps by chance
You know the dance
Cultural swing
But, here’s the thing:
[jam]

Knock It

Posted on June 14, 2020June 14, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
I’m hearing something
That isn’t the same thing
Even the birds start singing:
It’s happening
You may want to knock it
Once your have tried it
You may want to beat it
Once that you feel it
Taking in the habitat

I’m hearing something
That is a new thing
Bells of freedom ringing
It’s happening
You may want to knock it
Once your have tried it
You may want to beat it
Once that you feel it
A well found habit
Taking in the habitat

Coming True

Posted on June 13, 2020June 14, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Sitting here with you
Under a sky so blue
Oh, there’s nothing better to do
Right here before my eyes
I’ve come to realize
All my dreams are coming true

[twinkling piano interlude]

Sitting here lakeside
Wondering if I have died
Gone to heaven to reside
Right here before my eyes
I’ve come to realize
All my dreams are coming true

[another twinkling piano interlude]

Gone Home

Posted on June 12, 2020June 14, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Crumbling at the foundation
Woodworm in the attic
No relation in our nation
Getting too much static
Gone to find a new home
Roam till I’m not alone

Carpenter ants in the “would” rot
The “haves” eating the “have nots”
No windows, or doors, or floors
Just borders with devilish orders
Gone to find a new home
Roam till I’m not alone

Wet ’cause the roof is leaking
As the stock market’s peaking
There’s trouble from within
Don’t know where to begin
Gone to find a new home
Roam till I’m not alone

Your Revolution

Posted on June 12, 2020June 14, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Establishment
Embezzlement
Our movement
Has become circumvent
Slight what we fight
Embody what we resent
Greed, envy, jealousy
Just won’t relent
Two-faced hypocrisy
We’ve come to represent
Can’t trust your president
Nor your revolution
What’s the solution?

Which Direction?

Posted on June 12, 2020June 14, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Which direction
Towards resurrection
What’s up with going down?
Introspection
Mirror’s reflection
What’s up with going down?
Lord giving me the run-around
Says I’m mortality bound
Search for peace till she’s found
Angels will sing trumpets will sound
Take a deep breath
Let out a sigh
No need to worry
About why we die
Going to go up
And be a spirit
In the sky

Agent Of Change

Posted on June 11, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Feeling so strange
Thoughts rearrange
Agent of change

The same ole same ole
Is getting old
See the shoulder
Growing cold
Feeling so strange
Thoughts rearrange
Agent of change

The rolling bolder
Gathers no moss
Before I grow older
And life’s a loss
Feeling so strange
Thoughts rearrange
Agent of change

Wait And See

Posted on June 10, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Blah blah blah
Hogwashed jibberish
Excuse me
I guess we’ll have to wait and see
Wait and see
What we’ll be
Wait and see
What will be
Our goal
Swallowed whole
Into the depths
Of he bowels
Babies cry
Wolves howl
We’re all going to die
I say…
Just not today

Green

Posted on June 10, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Look out over the scene
Hello,
We’re all yellow
With the blues
What we choose —
Green
He said turning from red
Hello,
Turning to yellow
’till just my a$$ is seen
Turning to green!
Resources of the Earth
Getting lean
Time for a rebirth
And, turning green

Be Ins

Posted on June 9, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Can you grab it?
Grab it
Isn’t this the $hit!
Breaks their habit
Least slows it down a bit
But, will anything come of it
Or back to our use and abuse
Rape the landscape
Foul the air
So fresh air’s rare
Do we really want to go there?
Got to wear a mask everywhere
Cation! Alert! Aware…
Of Be Ins with human beings

Mama

Posted on June 8, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Did I hear your mom calling?
I think you’d better go
Don’t you know the sky’s falling
I think you’d better go

Can we go?
Let’s roll

Didn’t you say you couldn’t be late
I think you’d better go
Didn’t you say you hated to wait
I think you’d better go

Can we go?
Let’s roll

Do as I say Not as I Do

Posted on June 8, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Do as I say not as I do
’cause I don’t care about you
And I’m going to do
What I want to do
Is the rude attitude
To which I allude
Soon the fool will learn
The Golden Rule
Can’t fool the Golden Rule
Karma is the baker
When you go to meet your maker
Do you find it absurd
You eat your own words
And do you hate the taste of hate
Perhaps it’s not too late to relate?

LYRICS
I’ve got you
Come on do
Jump in
Begin
Got you
You do
Unless you try
You’ll never know why
It’s do or die
… do or die!

Fears to fend
The deep end
Dive in
Begin
You, too
Can do
Unless you try
You’ll never know why
It’s do or die
… do or die!

Catch Up

Posted on June 6, 2020June 6, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
You know I’ve gotta…
I’m gonna… catch up a bit
If I’ve gotta…
I’m gonna… catch up to it
Time to get out of the gate
There’s a race… I’m running late
Hesitate… and I cast my fate

You know I’m going to go out on a limb
Because the light is going dim
You know I’ve gotta…
I’m gonna… catch up a bit
If I’ve gotta…
I’m gonna… catch up to it

Is it time to relate to the date
If I’m fixated in time?
You know I’ve gotta…
I’m gonna… catch up a bit
If I’ve gotta…
I’m gonna… catch up to it

LYRICS
I’m thankful for what I’ve got
Got a life and that’s quite a lot
Living and breathing
Opportunity seizing

Savor our existence
Cherish the excellence
Living and breathing
Opportunity seizing
Breath in deep
To the time of love let’s keep
