LYRICS
It kind of helps if you open the door…
Before! Once More! Before!

Chorus
It will be less hard on your head
If you listen to what I said
It’ll be a much better day
If you’ll just listen to what I say

Cut down on yelps by opening the door…
Before! Once More! Before!

Chorus

It’ll be less savage by taking advantage of the handle…
Less scandal

Chorus

I hear ya knockin’ but ya can’t come in

It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

Much easier to pass through
A much wiser thing to do
Time to act your damn age
And minimize the damage

It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

Listen to that slurred speech
You can barely stand on your feet
Not much of a reach
(To say) you’re destined for self defeat

It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

It kind of helps if you open the door…
Before! For sure! Before!
It kind of helps if you open the door…
Before! Once More! Before!

Won’t be as hard on your head
If you open the door instead
You won’t be “that guy” they’ll dread
If you use your head to open the door instead

Chorus

You won’t be going to bed
Wishing yourself dead
When all is done and said
Should have opened the door…
Using your head instead

The Door Whore
The Door Whore

LYRICS
Please be polite, knock first
Please knock first
Please knock before entering
Have you seen worse
You’d think we’d have learned
Please knock first
No matter the desire to quench your thirst

If there’s one thing I abhor, it’s the door whore
Abhor the door whore

It’s horrid. It’s horrible.
It’s the door whore.

Don’t you know it’s polite to knock first
Knock first
I must suggest… I’ve been avoiding the rest?

If there’s one thing I abhor, it’s the door whore
Abhor the door whore

Try to get a handle on the handle
Don’t make your head throb over the knob
Twist. Turn.

Please
But, please show some courtesy
Don’t you know it’s polite to knock first
No matter the need to quench your thirst
Knock first. Knock first.

If you, want to…
Do the polite thing to do
Knock first.

Look at
The door mat
You’ll see it says, “Welcome!”
Just look at that
Look at
The door mat
You’re welcome to come in
You’re welcome
In

Notice the other sign I share
“Beware Of The Dog”
Notice the other sign I share
“Beware Of The God”

LYRICS
What shall we do
When they come for you?

Anti-Santa Claus? Reverse up the flue?
Don’t wanna be that horse stuck in glue

Time to fly or die

Too late for a special clause
Way too late to stop and pause

Time to fly or die

LYRICS
Underdog pops a power pill
Going into overdrive
Still, the energy pill
Can’t kill all the evil
Wickedest antagonist spill

Dr. Simon Bar Sinister overkill

Try to make Sweet Polly Purebred dead
And, this shoeshine boy turns to alter ego hero

Underdog pops a power pill
Going into overdrive… help keep hope alive
Speed of lightning
Power of thunder
Righting all
With a glimpse of wonder

Strive to keep hope alive!

LYRICS
Starlog: in a fog
In the midst of a mist
Stardate: a twist of fate
Time to clear the mind of the unkind
Let no fear come to mind

In the midst of a mist
Clarity of charity missed
Time we find a way to kind

For the angry… for the pissed
Please consider this
How ya gonna get happiness to coexist?

Better off to assist
Take it off your waiting list
Step up and enlist

Love to get Her in a tryst
Clear the head of “resist”
Get Her in a love tryst
(Out of the midst of this mist)

LYRICS
You thought that one day you’d save
It’s just one day closer to your grave
I hope it’s not a grave… mistake

Mama told you… you had to learn how to behave
And you’re just step… one step closer to your grave
… one day closer to your grave

(Jam)

Do you want to be on the lathe
Everyday a little more shave, shave, shave
As you get one day closer to your grave
Could be a grave mistake

Think that you want to save, save, save, save
Save the day?
One step closer to your grave
So what?
Don’t let it drive you nuts

One day closer
One day closer to your….

(Bass Jam)

Less you become your own slave
You’ve only got so many days to behave
And you’re the slave of how you behave
You’re just one day closer to your grave
One day closer… to your grave
Don’t let it be a grave mistake
Don’t let your life… don’t let it take, take, take
Your life away
Livin’ every day
No regret that it’s closer
Never forget one day closer
To your grave
It would be a grave mistake

LYRICS
Oh thank God for the night
Stand in front of a mic
And “hears” the thing
… get to sing
About the might in what’s right

(Interlude)

Let there be love
Let there be light
From above…
Let it bite!

(Interlude)

Oh thank God for this night
As I stand in front of the mic
Conveying by saying
Praising with singing
“Alright! Let it bite!”

LYRICS
Nailed it on the head
Every time I get duped
My head’s outta’da loop

Perplexed betwixt the ears
Scream deafening “Oh, Dear’s!”
Logic smothered by our fears

My truth is what I’m fed
Research and facts I dread
Be better off when I’m dead…
When I’m nailed in the head

(Hey? Which end of this thing do I point?
Ohhh… is that your point?
Does it have a safety from me?)

LYRICS
Has the fool been fooled again?
Guess that’s how a fool will begin
Prime game for a manipulative tool

At any rate,
Please investigate before you regurgitate
Some rant from some irate

Stoop to be dupe

If you read:
“Health Department Confirmed Semen Found on McDonald’s Mayonnaise”
Come out of your haze
Think ’till your eyes bleed
You know it’s not true

ABOUT THE SONG
Based on a bogus FaceBook post. A quote from the article, “I’m not gonna lie,” McDowell said. “On Birthdays and holidays I give my man a little something extra in the bedroom, you know? So when I licked the mayo off of the bun, the texture was familiar.”

Come on people! If something seems too whacky to be true, don’t spread the rumor. Find out the facts. Bust the myth!

bookmark_borderOwn Worst Enemy

A song inspired by a friend’s Facebook post:

So, 88-98% of corn, cotton (cotton oil–as in what a lot of potato chips are cooked in), canola oil, and soybean crops grown are genetically engineered. About 80% of the crops are to feed livestock. So what evolution has taken 3 billion years to create, humankind can destroy in 40 years. Maybe that’s the plan, to kill off our own kind to revert back to the beginning, with a little plastic and holes in the ozone as a special bonus. Kudos, Homo sapiens. We’ve really “outdone” ourselves.

LYRICS
What is it that I walk upon?
I wish we had the insight to look on and on and on
And, we found the ground
Underneath our feet
Are we going to be our own defeat?

What is that that I breath
Has the air gone up in thin air
Is there something more than just our air in there
What is it we breath
Are we our own disease?

Will we beat
Into defeat
Will we beat
Our own defeat

What is that in our food
Is it any good
What we eat
Are we our own defeat?

I don’t think we can cheat Mother Nature
It’s us we beat into defeat

We’re going to beat ourselves into defeat
And, I would say it’s time to change the seat
This game of musical chairs is going nowhere
I don’t want to be the last one standing
It won’t be any fun if I’m the only one that does remain
It might even drive you insane
