LYRICS
It’s more than just a moat
Are you prepared to board the boat
Across the river Styx

Chorus
A rock and a hard place
Caught betwixt
Lost in our space
No easy fix

The words stuck in the throat
Regret the time of bloat
Assholes and the dicks

Chorus

Done living life in the rote
Packed my bag with soul in tote
Now with the spirit mix

You’re what’s left
Of what is right
Uh huh. Uh huh.
You’re adept
At insight
Uh huh. Uh huh.

Chorus
Put the books away
Come out and play
You hear them say…
“Could be our last nice day”

You’ve passed the test
Forget the rest
Uh huh. Uh huh.
Fly from the nest
To the freedom fest
Uh huh. Uh huh.

What thought hasn’t been thought
And, why not?
Certainly not
This thought

If you stop to think about it
A bit
It’s not a bad habit

What thought hasn’t been thought?
Certainly not this thought

If you stop to think about it
You just might want to make it a habit
If you stop… no, don’t stop
It’s a good habit
No, don’t stop
Just grab it

Ego seeking publicity
Id acting out irrationally
Super ego making you feel guilty?

Just try n’ figure it out
Just trying to figure what it’s about

No need to pout. No doubt.

Once you do, you’ll shout
I prefer some doubt

LYRICS AND CHORDS

Am                   G              Am      G  Am
Little by little the night turns around,

                          G           Am    G  Am
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

Dm                   C          Dm          C  Dm
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning,

Am               G              Am
Over the hills a swallow is resting

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Am                 G                 Am     G  Am
Over the mountains watching the watcher,

                      G               Am    G  Am
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow,

Am                      G            Am
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun,

Am
The heart of the sun,  The heart of the sun...

Am                    G            Am       G  Am
Witness the man who waves at the wall,

                        G               Am  G  Am
Making the shape of his questions to heaven

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Whether the sun will fall in the evening,

Am                   G            Am
Will he remember the lesson of giving?

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am

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

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

LYRICS
I could drone on and on and on and on
About civilians prone to the attack of the drone
Like a new born baby, I could cry and wail
About the plight of the killed killer whale

State sanctioned execution
Coal Age pollution electrocution
Currency manipulation devaluation

I could moan on and on and on and on
About civilians prone to the burden of the government loan
Like a scene from a nightmare dream, I could scream
About humans being so #%& damn mean

LYRICS
I’m not looking for you to spare a dime
I’m not looking for any of your time
I’m just asking you do the asking of you

At the end of it all
Can you stand tall?
Will you stand at all… or will you fall?
Yell! Heaven or hell (Hell no!)

Do you offer shelter from the howling wind
Do you offer refuge? It’s time to begin
Implications are huge… not only for you, but me, too

ABOUT THIS SONG
While I was trying to record video for how to play the guitar part, the wind was blowing. Since I didn’t yet have a title for the song, I called it what I was trying to do — block the wind. Then, a guy came buy and threw me a dime. The lyrics developed from there.

LYRICS

PART I
Mama had a baby and it’s head popped off
Unless there’s less stress
For sure, the pressure will kill
Until,
There’s less stress

Shake that soda up
(Watch that soda pop)

Until,
There’s less stress
In the system
We’ll all be the victim
Of too much pressure
For sure

Shake that soda up
Until it’s soda pop

PART IV
Mama had a baby and it’s head popped off
Unless there’s less stress
The pressure will build
The pressure will kill
Unless there’s less stress

Go ahead, and shake that soda up
Watch that soda pop

Mama had a baby and it’s head popped off

Unless there’s less stress

Go ahead, and shake that soda up
Watch that soda pop

Mama had a baby and it’s head popped off

For sure
The pressure
Will kill

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.

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