A Rough Mix — Buttercup.mp3

LYRICS
So…
… long to what is was
If was really is
If it happened so long ago
As to be was
Then, maybe it no longer is
… or never was?
Ya, know?
So, so long was
That is what’s up
Heads-up, Buttercup
Before we pass into the past
Let’s find some future… at last
Come on, Buttercup
Shake-it-up

LYRICS
Give them what they want
For self-fulfilling taunt
The damned demand x2
All day long
The damned demand x2
Done me wrong
Same old song

Give them what they want?
To rot in their wrought
The damned demand x2
All day long
The damned demand x2
Done me wrong
Same old song

Give them what they want
For a history that’ll haunt
The damned demand x2
All day long
The damned demand x2
Done me wrong
Same old song

LYRICS
When the messenger warned
Is the messenger scorned?
Please don’t confuse
The bearer with bad news
Take your stance
Fallacies of irrelevance
A, em…
Ad hominem
Touché
Tu quoque
You and me
Equals we

But, you can’t evade
Calling a spade a spade
That’s what it’s all about
Calling a liar out
Even know what you meant
Making an argument?
A, em…
Ad hominem
Touché
Tu quoque
You and me
Equals we

LYRICS
Sucker punch
Out to lunch
Hit me when I’m lookin’
The other way
Think I”m OK?

Hypocritical testimonial
Lying through your teeth?
In disbelief
I’m in disbelief

You know I am
Finding genuine
Looking for true blue
All the way through
Can I count on you?

As a matter of fact
Give a pat on the back
Loving your giving
Loving your living
Keep on believing

LYRICS
Does your wealth
Cause foot in mouth
Mental health
Heading south
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

Does your fame
Cause misfortune
Brain gone lame
Heart out of tune
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

Poison lace
Poison pill
Fall from grace
Your worst ill?
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

Quite a task
For you to ask
Forgiveness
At a time like this
First confess
Then, comes bliss
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

LYRICS
What’s that? “You better get back?”
’cause she’s going to get me back
I’m in overtime
… in overtime

Mother Nature’s wrath
Gonna take a bath
Paying for our crime
… in overtime

Harvey and Irma wave a wake
Shake and bake
Another earthquake
What will it take
Mother Nature’s wrath
Gonna take a bath
Paying for our crime
… in overtime

Don’t breathe. No relief.
Eat the dirt. Ozone alert.
Environmental mental thief
Hit the dirt. We’re going nuclear

Not sure of the future

Gonna take a bath
Paying for our crime

Hear the battle cry

And,we can’t answer why

Until there are civilians no more

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly Hangs Head

LYRICS
As he looks to the floor
He can’t take any more
The resident President is an idiot
Fascist, racist, bigot

As he looks to the floor
How much more to endure?
A chief advisor
With a losing score

As he looks to the floor
How much more is in store
Trying to glorify the gore
Has he any clue? … I’m not sure

As he looks to the floor
Should I run for the door
When it rains, it’s going to poor
When he reigns, taking from the poor

LYRICS
Have you ever been warned
About the calm before the storm
Before all hell breaks loose
And you’re left swinging…
Under a noose
I’m getting into knowing
The winds of change are blowing
Giving heart attacks
To any heart that lacks

Give your heart an attack of love
Letting in light from above
Feel your heart start
Let the hate depart

Black is black
White is white
I’d say you’re out of the grey
Not so fine… crossing the line

LYRICS
I heard there’s a train leaving
Leaving for Freedom
Freedom, USA
What do you say
We try to find our way
Free of dumb in Freedom
USA

They say Freedom’s just a little way
Further down the line
They say we’ll get there…
Just a matter of time

I heard the last train’s leaving
Grieving for Freedom
Freedom, USA
What do you say
We find a way to stay
In the Freedom kingdom
Each and every day

Which clothes did you choose
Does it impact how you lose
1st Amendment fashion statement
Won’t grant judgement abatement

Which rules did you choose
Does it impact how you lose
5th Amendment lack-of statement
Won’t grant judgement abatement

Which path did you choose
Does it impact singing blues
The pursuit of happiness
Paving the road to your bliss

Which constitution did you choose
Under the red, white and blue
The deferment of acknowledgement
Won’t grant judgement abatement

LYRICS
Scary clowns in the kitchen
Cookin’ up rotten stew for you
Evil minds are itchin’
A recipe rash from scratch will do

Waiter there’s a fly in my soup
I could swear I’ve been duped
The fox is in the white henhouse
Arouse! Fire, fire! There is a fire to douse

Scary clowns slicing and dicing
Half-baked vegetable state fruitcake
On the cake they put icing
To hide all the “knews” that is fake

Scary clowns are now serving
A feast to erase the least
Figure they aren’t deserving
Fatten ’em up to feed the beast

(What bout the fire to put out?)
