Do you think the chorus is all of us?
Can you bring on the sing?
Bring on the sing

Ya that’s the thing
If you bring on the sing
You’ll see the chorus is in all of

No need to curse no need to cuss the chorus is in all of us
No need for muck no need for… fuss… cause the chorus is in all of us
Take a look and see

What you can be
What you may… maybe may be
What you may be, maybe
The chorus
It’s in all of us

Literally
You can be
So you can see
What you hear in your ear
Through your mind’s eye
Will fill the sky
The chorus in all of us

The chorus in all of us

And will rondevous
That’s what will do

Chorus in all of us
The chorus
Of coarse

Climb into bed
The chorus is in all of us
In all of us
Must lust for just

LYRICS
Constitution… Bill Of Rights… enumeration
Shed some light to end the fight… illuminated
No 1st Amendment abandonment
Say your piece on peace
Release the captive native
Wouldn’t you say you were born in the USA

Institution of incarceration… electrocution
Ask yourself why we wanna hang ’em high
Count the reasons for our killing season
The number of malfeasance
Lesions of the brain… insane in the membrane

Graced with a human face

If all I could do is bark like a dog (bark, bark)
Aardvark licking up and all day ’till you pass away

A mink… ya think I’ll gloat about being a coat?

All aboard. Praise the Lord
Graced with a face

What are you expecting me to do
I really don’t have a clue

The water’s foul and the air unfit
Human’s folly… don’t like it a bit

What are you expecting me to do
I really don’t have a clue

Landfill’s filled… gonna have ‘ta quit
‘fore we’re buried in our own $Hit

What are you expecting me to do
I really don’t have a clue

When we had a future — nuclear
20-20 hindsight comin’ in clearer

What am I suppose to do
Please advise… I’m begging you

Do you foresee the future in your future?
Are you sure

Do you foresee the future in your future?

Imagine that the present of your future
In the present of your future

Well fancy that
Your future in the present
Kind-of feels like it’s right here
So very near

Imagine that your future in our presence
A present in our present
The essence of existence in our presence

The essence of the present in our presence

Soaking up the days like soaking up the rays

The present of the present

It seems our dreams of climate change are coming true
Pray tell, well… what will we do?

The wrath of God you can see in the sea
Ominous clouds forebode what’s to be

LYRICS
There was a farmer who had a dog
No sense in being a hog
Now give the dog a bone

You’re only going to eat the meat
Why not give the dog a treat
Yeah, give the dog a bone

We’re garbage prone
When left to our own
Devices our vices

In the gasp of a flash we’ve made more trash
Better find a real solution to all of our pollution
Like “give the dog a bone”

Chorus

You’re only going to eat the flesh
What about the rest of the mess
The “give the dog the bone”

LYRICS
I had this crazy notion
To create a concoction — Love Potion

I had this crazy notion
To create a concoction
Love potion

A love potion
Spreadin’ from ocean to ocean

Upon suggestion
Create a concoction
Injection
Straight to the heart
Like Cupid’s arrow
And a bow… ya know?
Straight through the heart
A love potion
Can you help the love grow
Spread it from ocean to ocean
Could be the solution
To our situation
The creation
Of a concoction
A love potion

A love potion
Set in motion
Love potion

Solution to our situation
Our hell-bound self-annihilation
We need some new ventilation
It’s hard to breath
I think our hearts will seize
And our brains will freeze

A love potion

If we start to look in our heart
The soul-ution will be the potion
And the potion will spread from ocean to ocean

Day by day
Days go away
Minute by minute
Just won’t quit

Year by year
They disappear
Second by second
We can’t rewind

So as long as the memory knows
Let those memories grow
And as long as our time flows
Living in the present innuendo

Avoid the crazies
Pushin’ up daisies
Entice an embrace
Of the human race
They’ll know your story
In the land of glory

LYRICS
Have you heard of the rat race
A herd in disgrace
A generation lost in space
Left in a haze
Stuck in a maze
Mesmerize with lies
Simpletons amaze
Cracked from the craze

How absurd of a pig race
Humane? Not a trace
A race losing face
Fat cat fit spat
Ain’t where it’s at
Alarm disarm
The donkey can’t see
The Ass disaster
Quick! Run faster

A bouncing ball when under attack
After a fall… will bounce right back

The thing with the spring
After a whack
Gonna bounce right back
On elastic string
After a smack
Gonna bounce right back
The physics of logic

A bouncing ball when you throw me down
Upside down… the turn of a frown

Chorus

If things are looking queerer
It’s ’cause I’m holding a mirror

All the things you spew
Coming back at you
All the things you do
Reflect on you… reflecting onto you
The physics of logic
