LYRICS
Ho, ho, ho
I didn’t know

In a peppermint twist of fate
It’s not too late
Sweeeeeeeet
Holiday treat
It’s not too late for a holiday treat

I didn’t know
A package wrapped with a bow
Wrapped all nice and neat
Sweeeeeet

Wouldn’t you know
All wrapped neat and tied with a bow
Peppermint twist of fate
It’s not too late
In a peppermint twist of fate
It’s not too late

A peppermint twist of fate
It’s not too late
For a holiday treat
Sweet!

LYRICS
If you consider all homeless
To be terrorists
What’s up with your self-interest?
That’s messed up
That’s what’s up

How can you raise fear about fear
When you create the terror aren’t you the terrorist
It’s implicit
After all, who created the homelessness
That lack of nest
If you create terrorists
Chances are large you’ll live in fear

Next, you’ll tell me that you hate hate
Well, isn’t that hate that you create
Then, you cheer on your fear
Got terror in error
When the twist is you’re the terrorist
The twist is you’re the terrorist

Do you think you can resist becoming the terrorist
When you hold your fear dear
Like your fear is more dear than my fear
Then I fear fear itself

LYRICS
The air in Beijing
Is breathtaking
If you go there
You better be taking your own air
You’re not suppose to be able to see
The quality
Of air
Beware!

The air in Tehran
Iran
It’s terrorizing
We’re not alone
Closer to home
Philadelphia
Well, the air there
Is filth dealt to ya

Breathtaking

Better not gasp
’cause your lungs won’t last
You’re not suppose to be able to see
The air quality
We’ve gotta gotta find
Rack your mind
We’ve gotta find
A solution to all our air pollution
Gotta find
What comes to mind?
For crying out loud
My, Lord!
We’re not suppose to be able to see the air quality
We’re not suppose to be able to see the air…
Quite frankly

Living in a fog
When you’re living in smog
Clearly there’s no clarity
The air there is breathtaking
If something’s ever been meant for “goodness saking”
It’s air that’s breathtaking

Breathtaking Part 2.mp3

This song is about humans making the planet uninhabitable. Over the last couple weeks, major cities including Beijing, Tehran and Philadelphia have declared air quality alerts. People are advised not to breath.

Air pollution is one of leading causes of death.

LYRICS
Is that the way it is?
Because if that’s the way it is
Now, it was

Is that the way it is?
’cause that is turned to was
The is is now was
Shall we get to will be
What will be
What will be will be
If we chart our destiny

Well, is that the way it
Now, that’s the way it was
Is that the way it is
Because…
Now, that’s the way it was

Is that the way it is
’cause now that’s the way it was
Because
As fast as it is is
Is was

In the blink of an eye I go from is to was
So as long as I shall be
I will be
Living in what will be
In charge of our density

Sailing the sea we’ll see what will be charting our destiny

Is that the way it is
Is that the way it is
Is that the way it is

If that’s the way it is
Then that’s the way it is

PART 3
Is that the way it is?
Because
If that’s the way it is
Now, that’s the way it was
As is turns to was

I’d like to see how we chart our destiny
So we set sail for the sea we shall see how we chart our destiny

Is that the way it is?
Because
Now, that is was

Is that how it is?
Because
Now, that is has turned to was

LYRICS
I’ve been wandering
Wondering as I’m wandering
Out on the range
Isn’t life strange

I hope I’m not walking
I hope I’m not talking
In circles
I’d feel like such a circle-jerk
That just won’t work

I’ve been wandering
Wondering as I’m wandering
Out on the range
Isn’t life strange
Let’s begin to soak it in
It doesn’t matter where you begin
Soak it in

LYRICS
When the going gets tough
Do the tough get going?
Going… without any of ’em knowing?
Are any of them going knowing

When the going gets tough
Do the tough get going?
Are any of them knowing
Growing?
Growing with experience
I’m starting to sense
The answer is no
They don’t know
They don’t know no know
When the going gets tough
Do the tough get going?
None of ’em knowing
The problem is the system known as I am
I’m
I’m the system causing havoc
Causing the Earth to get sick
If I could only think quick
But… when the going gets tough
The tough get going

What is it coming to?
I’m on my knees begging you
What’s it coming to…
I’m on my knees begging you

Is it possible to get a rational point-of-view
Is it possible to get a logical answer
From either him or her
Or is this all just disaster

What’s going on here
Oh, no
Just as we fear
We’re here
I’ve arrived
Look out now

On my knees I’m begging you
There’s gotta be something we can do

LYRICS
Have you crossed the line?

Is your toe over the line
Have you crossed the line
Did you toe the line
Tow the line

Have you gone to far
Leaving the door ajar
Now all hell is breaking loose
Killed the golden goose
Now you’re running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off
Did you toe the line
Did you tow the line

As a member of society
Being part of humanity
It is business of mine
So I’m minding my own business when I ask you
Did you toe the line

Did you tow the line
Did you start in time
Did you toe the line
Did you cross the line
Did you tow the line

T-t-t-t-t-t tip toe
Toe the line
T-t-t-t-t-t tip toe
Tow the line

LYRICS
Quick! …sand
Doesn’t anybody understand
Getting sucked in by the quicksand
Quicksand
Do you understand
Due to our demand
Our damned demand
Getting sucked in to the quicksand… by the quicksand

Oh no!
Sucking us in so slow
How to juggle not to struggle
Start seeping in
And I’m going deep in
Getting sucked in by my own motion
Going down, down, down
Do we understand
We demand
Getting sucked in… quicksand

I’ll be damned
Getting sucked in by the quicksand
We demand to be damned
Sucked into the quicksand
From thence we shall come to judge the quick and dead
I heard it said
Understand
Sucked in by the quicksand

Do you have any idea what we’re doing
Do we have any idea what we’re doing
You really got me
How can you sleep tonight
How can anyone anywhere sleep tight?
