LYRICS
Skater girl, where are you headed to
Skater girl, if I could run that fast…
You know I’d pursue
The way your hips sway surfin’ down the street
Vision explosion making life complete
Skater girl, ride the tide to the other side
Skater girl, like a cloud through a sky glide
Skater girl, ya know ya move so smooth
Skater girl, through the bone to the soul ya sooth

LYRICS
If you’re wondering what’s behind the door
Why not open it a little bit more
Don’t bother looking at me
It’s not me that holds the key
Did you look in your pocket
Check in your eye’s socket
Did you look in your hand
It’s in your hands to understand
Plain as the nose on your face
You didn’t really misplace
You’re not here just to take up space
Participate in the human race

Why Do Ya Gotta a Gallbladder?.mp3
LYRICS
Why do you gotta gallbladder?
As you climb up the evolutionary ladder
Why do you still have a gallbladder
We’re still looking for intelligent life
As you climb the evolutionary ladder
Sadder?
Gladder?
Why do you have a gallbladder?
From what I heard about a purple haze
People use to hang out and graze
Not like we were sittin’ on our asses
When we’re grazing on the grasses
’cause
chewing cud
for days
For days being dazed
We’d graze
Which brings it right back around to the center of your human being
You’ve got this gallbladder
And on your evolutionary ladder
Your race
In this space
Your outer space
This is Earth
Your birth
Your birth is a human
So as long as you can
Fess up
Which brings us around again to you and all your kin
Which I imagine must be me
As you can see
You’ve got a gallbladder
Why do you gotta gallbladder?
This ain’t about a social ladder
This is about your gallbladder

LYRICS
I hear your name is Dan
And, you’re the man with the plan
Would you say it again
Over and over again
I hear your name is Dan
You’re the man with the plan
Would you tell me again
I’m a lil’ slow ya know
Can’t take it all in
I know where we’ve been
But, I’m having trouble with where to begin
The plan, Dan
For man, Dan
The plan, Dan
For man, Dan
Dan you’re the man with the plan
Would you let us in
And, say it again
’cause I’m a lil’ slow ya know
And, I really can’t take it in
I can’t bare it with a grin
So, tell us again
Please would you say it again and again and again
It’s not like we’ll listen
Would you say it again
So, if you don’t mind as to be so kind
If you could go over it again and again and again
Because the human sin… well, I’ve heard I’ve been forgiven
So I can do it again
Over and over and over again
So if you’re just going to bring… just going to spring
This thing on me now
Somehow,
I’m suppose to be responsible for all that I am able…
To be
Well, golly
It’s seems like… ya, know… a lot of work
Not to be such a jerk
This is Dan with the plan
I’m a man
A human
I can understand that we’ve got to make a change
But there’s a few individuals that want to gobble it all
Gobble it all up
’till there’s none left for the rest of us
So, this is Dan the man with the plan
The human
Trying to explain the gap in the synapse
Trying to re-arrange the brain
The membrane
The rationality
Sensibility
Responsibility
For both you and me
Or we’re all going to cease to be
(That’s something none of us want to see)
Wake the F#$% up

LYRICS
If you’re feeling the day-to-day is drudgery
Just another cog in the human factory
Maybe it’s time to wake up and see
All you can be
If you’re feeling the day-to-day is drudgery
Maybe it’s time for a new recipe
Where we wake up and see
All we can be
If you’re feeling the day-to-day is drudgery
Maybe it’s not too late to get out and see
Get up, get out… be all you can be

LYRICS
When will we figure out what it is we’ve done
When will we figure out what is is we do
When will we figure out what it’s all about
When will we figure out?
In God’s name what shame
When will we figure it… figure it… figure it out
For God’s sake, why half-bake
When will we figure out what went wrong
When will we figure out where it’s gone
Will we figure out before it’s too late
Will we finger about… mental masturbate
Will we figure out or just go on in doubt
Will we figure out?

LYRICS
Look in the rearview mirror
Hold on to life a lil’ dearer
It goes by so fast
Seein’ the future going passed
Look in the rearview mirror
And keep an eye on the road
Multi-task mode
Avoid brain overload
As the future comes clearer
The past comes nearer
Look in the rearview mirror
Hold on to life a lil’ dearer
It goes by so fast
Seein’ the future going past
As the future comes nearer
The past come clearer

LYRICS
Sure hope I never see the day
When I never see the day
I hope I never see the day when I never see the day
When all in sight is the black of night
Not even a reflection from the moon
Daylight can’t come too soon
I hope I never see the day when I never see the day
Blue sky
Oh, my, my
Before we do what we do for you
Got to see the light
Keep alive
And the day will arrive
I hope I never see the day when I never see the day
It’s all right
Alright
The daylight
If I may take the liberty
To tell ya what I see
To try to explain me
I hope I never see the day when I never see the day
All right daylight
Alright daylight
In sight
Daylight
Insight
Daylight
I hope and pray every day
That I never see the day when I never see the day
Every day above ground is a good day
Every day I’ve found sound is a good day
All right daylight
Alright daylight

LYRICS
If what you do is pursue
Happiness and bliss, too
Then what you’ll find is the kind kind
With peace in their heart and love in mind
If what you do is poo-poo
Vinegar and piss, too
Then what you’ll find is the hard kind
With a blackened heart and hate in mind
If you talk and follow through
Deliver faith and hope, too
Then what you do for all mankind
Is heal the sick… give sight to the blind

LYRICS
After all is said and done
Looks like we’ve come undone
They think we’re choosing extinct
After all we’ve said is dumb
We’ve become the smoking gun
On the verge of the human purge
Chorus
They think we’re choosing extinct
On the verge of the human purge
When the traffic can no longer merge
We can be gone as quick as a blink
After all we did is gone
Too late to wonder what went wrong
They know we choose extinct
After all we’re dead and gone
Culmination of our swan song
The purge of the human splurge
Chorus
The study shows without any significant doubt that we are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event.

LYRICS
Er, a…
How’s your credit?
You want me to lend you my ear
Hear here… now
Forget it
There might be a few mistakes that you’ll make
As long as you don’t fake
That you regret it
If you know you’ve made a mistake
If you know you’ve been a fake
You’re better off to regret it
To begin to be forgiven of that sin
Isn’t it a sin
Not to begin?
How’s your credit?
You want me to lend you my ear
You can forget it

LYRICS
They say it’s not the fall that hurts
It’s really the sudden stop at the end
Time may heal all broken hearts
But a broken soul is hard to mend
So, I’m taking it all in just as long as I can
No time to wait and not too late to start
A strange trip — the free fall of man
Before the sudden stop of our heart
They say it’s in us all — the love
And the love we get is equal to the love we send
So, I’m sending in the message from above
Let’s get together before the stop at The End

LYRICS
The march of the mindless people
All in the name of the steeple
It’s getting deep but still
The march of the mindless people
The march of the mindless sapiens
Repeat the same phrases
Repeat the same phases
Again and again and again
The march of the mindless people
It’s getting deep but still
In the name of their steeple
The march of the mindless people
The march of the mindless people
It’s getting deep but still
They march, they march, they march… until
The cows come home
Into the setting sun
They march, march, march
’till the west is won
’till overkill is overdone
March, march, march
Hut 2, 3, 4
March into the dark
We march on a lark
Into the dark
The march of the mindless people
All under the name of their steeple
The point, their point on the top of their head
That negates everything they’ve said
They march, march, march
The blind leading the blind
To the unkind
The march of the mindless people
It’s getting dark
But still
They will
Do as they will
The march of the mindless people
March of the Mindless People.mp3
