LYRICS
Extinguisher
Put out the fire
Extinguisher
Situation dire
Fanning the flames
Higher and higher
Political games
Still transpire
We’ll all retire
Fire, fire, fire
We’re all on fire
Fire, fire, fire!
Dowsing the flames
Treat the heat
Out shames and blames
Devil’s defeat
Fire fighter
Extinguish fire
Wrong righter
Extinguish dire

LYRICS
Hey! How do you say “covfefe” (co-fev-ay)
A new pet peeve
How to convey…
How to relay…
Covfefe (cough-eve)
A hex perplex
Spewing diarrhea
Doi and dah
Outta the diaper
Into big boy pants
To die for
Literally
Do you see
He’s killing me
The twit tweets
Mistake repeats
Verbal defeats
Head of meats
It’ll be said, “meathead”

LYRICS
Herald the 1st world world
Where equity’s one and the same
Leveled with logic of sane
And the yield… a level playing field
Can’t conceal how I feel
When everyone’s treated as real

Imagine when all wars cease
Giving all a piece of peace
And as much as an angelic touch
The choir in company of harmony
Can’t conceal how I feel
When everyone’s treated as real

The children fed and in bed
Know the very next day they’ll play
When all is done it’s said,
“How is our legacy read?”
Can’t conceal how I feel
When everyone’s treated as real

LYRICS
I find it hard to tell who I’m talking to
Is it me or is it you?
From two sides of your mouth on two faces
I’m trying to fill in the blank spaces
Magician politician of true
How queer making it disappear
Oh, no! CEO of the zoo
Can you say ass for rear? (Oh, dear!)
Wasn’t it just the other day I heard you say
Winning is here to stay
Now how far we stray as you sway
Yes? No? I don’t know

LYRICS
Watching the pendulum swing
Perpetual dumb on the wing
You can try and try
Piling lie upon lie
But you can’t make the truth die

The nation gasps a collective sigh
Dumbfounded… why, why, why?
The scales of justice must balance
At heaven’s gate there’s no second chance

Watching the pendulum swing
It’s time to question everything
Though you try and try
Supporting a lie with a lie
You know you can’t make the truth die

Watching the pendulum swing
Certain the future will bring
Justice for us
The truth we’ll unveil
We’ll prevail
Making the call
Justice for all

LYRICS
Heavy on the light side
Light on the bright side
Making the gray go away
Growing more and more leery
Of reigning on the dreary
May sunlight’s ray
Come your way
Sunshine does fine
To lighten your day

Growing more and more tired
Of bureaucrats mired
May politicians you slay
Clear the way
Logic is quick
To save the day

Growing more and more certain
Our love will grow again
May sunlight’s ray
Come your way
Sunshine does fine
To lighten your day

LYRICS
If the cream rises to the top
And the proof is in the pudding
The cream took a drop
The pudding is overflowing
Do you think it’s true
There’s something to do
A long overdue
Citizens’ coup

The hater and the traitor
Has risen to the top
The mental masturbator
Is our top cop
[Chorus: Citizens’ Coup]

If the fox is in the henhouse
The wolf wearing sheep’s clothes
The pig in the Whitehouse
The nation in slop’s throws
[Chorus: Citizens’ Coup]

Citizens coup
Citizen’s you

Cat-Women of the Moon

LYRICS
Back when I was a kid
Everyone did…
… did know it was fiction
When the diction was fiction
Now, staring at the stark face of reality
I see… I see….
The action of fiction friction
On reality
Looks like reality TV to me
Smells like reality TV to me
Tastes like reality TV to me
Wish I hadn’t stepped in it
[Woe… wish I hadn’t stepped in it
I think that this must stink]
Alien space women from Mars
Took over the stars
Including ours
Son, I’m talking our sun!

LYRICS
It all adds up
We know what to do
First there’s one
Then there’s two
We can figure
What we need to do
First there’s one
Then there’s you

Agreein’ with Pythagorean
We’ve got to get it right…
Got to get our angle right
Right?
Quite right!
May the sum of your square be right there
Time to play a little Pythag tag…
You’re it!
This “to infinity” bit just won’t quit
Pi won’t die…
It just keeps on going and going and going
(and, I thought 33 and a third was absurd — 33.33)

LYRICS
Everyone stands
Clap your hands
Crisis demands you raise your voice
Hit the street
Stomp your feet
To the beat make some noise

Elevation of the situation
Population illumination

In a race to put smile to face
Dreams we chase actualize
Heaven on Earth is our birth
Open my eyes… realize

Join the band and understand
Crisis demands you raise your voice
Hit the note rock the boat
Cast your vote to make some noise

LYRICS
What is meant by experiment?
ExperiMental
Good for mental health
Experi-mental
Good for social wealth
ExperiMental
Mental that is meant for all
If you don’t know
Dip in your toe
Give it a test
So you can figure the rest
Don’t be shy
Give ‘er a try
I’m not going to lie
We are all going to die
The trick is to experiment with it
Before you get too sick
Not knowing “why”
Before you die
Got to know why
Before I die
Got to know why
Before you die
Got to know why
Before we die

LYRICS
I decided to get up
Decided to voice my choice
I decided to get up
And never give up
Come on, we’re doing better than this
It can be your prayer… it can be your wish
Come on, what’s on your wish list
Answer your prayer
We’re half way there
Come on, dreamer, what is your dream
We’ll make the scene
Rinse the mean clean
Come on, I need you, too
Can you see…
Need you like you need me
I decided to get up
Decided to voice my choice
I decided to get up
And never give up
Come on, we’re doing better than this
It can be your prayer… it can be your wish

You want it. You got it.
Now you’re gonna get it
They gave it to you
Now, watcha gonna do?
Isolation nation
Isolationism I am
I’m pretty sure
That’s what I voted for

I ran a campaign
About all that I am
I really don’t give
A God damn
You’re lucky to live

Pathological liar
Too blatant
Rampant blatant
On fire

LYRICS
Crossing the line
That’s not the half of it
Did you forget regret?
Crossing the line
While having a fit
Did you forget respect
Bombing babies for bombing babies
Am I blind? I can’t see!
Killing babies hypocrisy
Though the sandbox isn’t mine
I’m drawing the line
When you’re the killing kind
When you’re killing the kind
When you’re crossing the line
It’s not all fine
When it’s you crossing, too
