LYRICS
The milk keeps on spilling
The world keeps on spinning
Well, there’s no sense crying
Just ’cause we’re on the path to dyin’

The child keeps on starving
No one is caring
Might be time for crying
’cause they’re on the road to dying

The people keep on breeding
Selfish condescending
Well, it’s time for trying
Opening our eyes and realizing

We’re all on the path to dying

LYRICS
22,000 days
They slip away
In so many ways

Not a lot?
Take advantage of what we’ve got

The world stage
For our plays
Watching youth age

Not a lot?
Take advantage of what we’ve got

For sure
Mature
Can write a beautiful page

Not a lot?
Take advantage of what we’ve got

LYRICS
Oh! My God,
I can’t wait to see.

When last is first resonates in me

[harmonics]

Oh! My Lord,
I can’t wait to be
Knocking at the gates of mortality

[knocking]

I pray our souls will life forever
I know our Lord is mighty clever
But, if mankind does persist…
In self-annihilation insist…
Well… death wish

LYRICS
Grim is the creeper
Creeping ever closer
No reaper sleeper
Guts are getting grosser

Someday you’re going to die
No sense to wonder why
Better to ponder “Why I”

Chorus

Someday you’re going to die
No sense to cry

Chorus

Someday you’re going to die
No sense to sigh

Chorus

Some things I can control
If you want to control your destiny
Listen to me

I will die
Only to be born again
That’s the good news
It only gets better
The escalator to heaven
Any way, you’re right here right now

Someday you’re going to die
You, everyone else and I

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

Chorus
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

Chorus

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

Chorus
Eenie Meenie Miney Mo
They got Poe by the toe
They’d better… better let him go

Instead, why don’t you create an institution to the F’n Constitution
’cause don’t you think it’s about time?
No victim. No Crime.

Chorus

Instead, why don’t you sedate your confusion… militant delusion
’cause don’t you think it’s about time?
No victim. No Crime.

Chorus

Instead, why don’t you generate satisfaction… occupant inclusion
’cause don’t you think it’s about time?
No victim. No Crime.

To own a throne
Splendor spike for the psych
Crown of thorn
World is torn

As soon as you sit your arse down
The miracles are found
Go ahead… sit your arse down

LYRICS
No matter what we may do
We’ve gotta keep the faith
Nemesis hubris does pursue
The promise of the oath

Maketh me to lay down in green pasture
Pray for the calm to come faster

No matter what we may do
We’ve gotta keep the faith
Life deceased reflects you
Can’t have one… must have both

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Thank God for every moment ’till my last final dying gasp of breath

LYRICS
There will be a time
When the Earth and sky fly
And, you’ll be faced with a lake of fire
And, you’ll be wishing you could get higher

On your Judgement Day
What will you say
Will you find a way
To escape the lake of fire

Every dog has it’s day
And, when it comes to be your day
What will you say
On your Judgement Day

Everybody will meet their maker
After all, you met your mom
When you first started living
In her womb
Now you think you don’t have enough room

Your money ain’t no good on the other side

What do you think
Would you rather be on the brink
Of being there?

Life’s sojourn just keeps getting better
Wouldn’t you rather…
Then being there?

Once life’s journey is complete
Exactly how many feet deep
Do you want buried
I mean what’s your hurry?

Filling up every millisecond
Stuff it full, I’d reckon
To the brink, Id’ think
So your legend is knowledge

A Tree Suffering From Ozone Poisoning

LYRICS
If you can see the sky
Ask: why?

Turn from green to brown
Fall down
Like a cannonball sailed through
Deny it… will you?

Simple reasoning
Points to ozone poisoning

When the conditions are right with sunlight
Volatile ozone ignites
Blasting right through a tree
Blasting right through you and me

Now it’s been sung
Imagine your lung
Without a tree
Where will our oxygen be?

The title says it all — ozone poisoning. Ozone poisoning is killing almost every tree, as well as, you and me.

LYRICS
Where would we be without the hives and the trees?
Where would we be without the birds and the bees?
What would you do without the innocence of children?
What would you do without the memory of been?

Do you think you’d miss a cool rain’s kiss?
Would you be remiss… speechless?

ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 5
A (less C#, add A, add F#)
A / D

Written and recorded on July 24, 2012 at Marsh Creek State Park, Chester County, Pennsylvania. For quite sometime, I have been conducting a study on deforestation of the Earth. While writing the song, I noticed the sun shining through the leaves of the tree… like is was winter time; however, it is summer. Then, a couple of small children walked up to me and said, “Thank you guitar man.” What would the world be like without trees? What would the world be like without the innocence of children?
