LYRICS
Is the world still turning
Is the sun still burning
Is it time to get on with it
Time to move on a bit?
… world still turning
… sun still burning
Unless we tame this trouble
The trouble is likely to double
Unless the human gets humble
Civilization’s likely to crumble
Our error on terror… terrible
The terror of our error incredible
Instead of our babble and mumble
Recognition of our stumble
LYRICS
Sound off,
1, 2
Sound off,
2, 3
Another killing spree
Sound off, 1, 2… Sound off, 3, 4… Sound off, 1, 2, 3, 4
Time to kill some more
Onward Jewish, onward Muslim, onward Christian soldiers
Marching, marching, marching as to war
“Ain’t no use in going home; Jody’s got your girl and gone. Ain’t no use in feeling blue; Jody’s got your sister, too. Ain’t no use in lookin’ back; Jody’s got your Cadillac…”
Add additional cadence calls as is appropriate for your audience. Call and response should reflect a similar satirical look at “hopelessness”, “suicide soldier” and “kamikaze” attitudes.
Inspired by 1) today’s War of the Religions of the Book (Judaism, Islamism, Christianity)
2) “Onward, Christian Soldiers”, a 19th-century English hymn. Onward, Christian Soldiers was written as a processional hymn for children walking from Horbury Bridge to Horbury St Peter’s Church near Wakefield, Yorkshire, at Whitsuntide in 1865. It was originally entitled, “Hymn for Procession with Cross and Banners.”
3) Military cadence — a traditional call-and-response work song sung by military personnel while running or marching. In the United States, these cadences are sometimes called jody calls or jodies, after Jody, a recurring character who figures in some traditional cadences.
LYRICS
Don’t you worry about your dancing shoes
No matter how ya hoof it you can’t loose
Dancing and singing the boogie woogie blues
How can you turn the page living in the digital age
Look out find music as your sage
True is what true is dancing the boogie woogie blues
You can’t loose with the boogie woogie blues
When Eden’s fruit falls from the tree
It doesn’t blemish… it doesn’t bruise
Oh, can’t you seeeeeee…
Listening and dancing the boogie woogie blues
LYRICS
Always living like it’s my last day
You know in some way
We’re all going to leave this rat race in dismay
Not slowly in pain I pray
Or too soon cutting in on my play
Any way…
Never know if it’s your last day
No need to wonder
We all end up six feet under
Wanna be a dread ’till dead
Push comes to shove I’d rather love
Keep the Reaper at bay
Gonna live to the fullest each and every day
What did Neil say?
Heard Old Neil talk about ‘er… thought I heard Neil say…
Better to burn out than fade away?
I hope Neil Young does remember… mankind needed him ’round anyway
Call: It’s a long way
Response: Can’t you feel it coming
Call: It’s a long way
Response: Can’t you see it coming
Close to the end of the edge
Close to the endge
Daniel 12
13 “As for you, go your way till the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your due.”
Yes you! In the end, the love you give… and then some/sum, too
Go your way
Hey, hey, hey
You can go our own way
The prophets say, “Go your way!”
LYRICS
It goes in one ear and right out the other
You growing tatters in there?
It goes in one ear and right out the other
Or, are you unaware
Do you even care
If it’s in error
It goes in one ear and right out the other
Hear what’s goin’ on here?
Sister, brother…
Friends and neighbors lend me an ear
It’s very clear
Truth’s drawing near
LYRICS
What do you know about that?
Sly fox writes the rules in the rabbit habitat
Chorus
As for man, do you know
What is our part (2) All if and but (3) If he even tries
In Mother Nature’s traveling sideshow
How far will we all go
Astray at heart (2) With glutton gut (3) With mesmerize eyes
In Mother Nature’s traveling sideshow
What do you know about that?
The King Of Beasts takes least compared to our feast
Chorus
What do you know about that?
The vulture only fine dines on the afterdeath of culture
This song was inspired by a fox living in the backyard, the rabbit that use to live in the backyard… and, a turkey vulture flying overhead. (We don’t have a lion. I just added that in for fun.)
LYRICS
There’s a river of knowledge flowing by
Acknowledge. It never runs dry
Take a drink… give ‘er a try
Acknowledge. It never runs dry
Some drink deeply from the river of knowledge
While others perch parched
Quagmire. Quandary. Parked or a lurch?
Can ya dive from your ledge
Into the river of knowledge
There’s a river of knowledge flowing by
Acknowledge. It’s never gonna die
Take a drink… give ‘er a try
Be a dredge? Or, learn to fly
Some drink deeply from the river of knowledge
While others perch parched
Quagmire. Quandary. Parked or a lurch?
Can ya dive from your ledge
Into the river of knowledge
Non-lexical vocables, which may be mixed with meaningful text, are a form of nonsense syllable used in a wide variety of music. A common English example would be “la la la”.
Non-lexical vocables are used in Blackfoot music and other Native American music, Pygmy music, the music of the Maldives and Irish Music, Highland Scots music. Vocables frequently act as formal markers, indicating the beginning and end of phrases, sections or songs themselves, and also as onomatopoeic references, cueing devices, and other purposes. — Wikipedia
LYRICS
The pain of falling on your ass
Hopin’, prayin’ it will pass
Slippin’ on the ice ain’t nice
No satisfaction from the lack of friction (no traction)
The experience of the fall
Didn’t really hurt at all
In fact, it was only the impact… The End of my end
The pain of falling on your ass
Hopin’, prayin’ it will pass
Before the lure of the door shall entice… think twice
Jack falls down and breaks his crown
… and Jill comes tumbling after
A total disaster
A total dis-assed-her
