LYRICS
Humbled…
In your presence
I mumbled,
“Your loyal peasant.”
I serve at your will
Deserve to serve
Without you…
I’m nil
Indent
Servant
“Have none. Will Travel.”
In the event,
I may…
After all,
I’m going that way
Indentured
Indent sure
Servant, Sir, vent!
The movement
Of the people
From the steeple

bookmark_borderThe Men In Control

LYRICS
I don’t know about the cause
But after the alarm
The reason for pause…
Old white men in control
Cause out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control)

I don’t know about the cause
But resulting in harm
Turns us to was
Old white men in control
Caused out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control)

Sounding the alarm for years
[howling and sirens]
Spreading and shedding tears
Now you tell me…
None can see?
Nobody hears?
Old white men in control
Chose out-of-control
(in, out, in, out-of-control
… guess that’s how they roll)

Most shockin’ —
At the peril of their own kin
… the demise of their own tribe
Too late to think to learn to think
EXTINCT!

bookmark_borderThis Christmas Wish

LYRICS
I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas
I’d like to wish a Happy New Year
So when it comes to this
Christmas wish
I’ll embrace and hold dear

They call you the forgotten one
Mother Nature’s son
Forgot that to keep you in
Is a mortal sin
Time to think and think again
About letting you out

I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas
I’d like to wish a Happy New Year
So when it comes to this
Christmas wish
I’ll embrace and hold dear

They say your only goal:
To save our soul
By spreading the Christmas cheer
And ringing in the new year
For it’s not to late to believe
Give to receive

bookmark_borderHammer Of Justice

LYRICS
The hammer of justice
Is poised above us
And sooner or later
The hammer will fall
After all,
The hammer will fall

Not a juror nor spectator
We’re on trial on the while
The hammer of justice poised above us
And sooner or later
The hammer will fall
After all,
The hammer will fall

Where’s the support
For order in the court
For whom does the gallows’ pole toll
The hammer of justice poised above us
And sooner or later
The hammer will fall
After all,
The hammer will fall

It’s hard to bail
When you have no bail
Looks like we’ll spend the night in jail
With the hammer of justice poised to fall
And sooner or later
The hammer will fall
After all,
The hammer will fall

Take off running
Spread your wings
Brings beautiful things
Take-off

LYRICS
Heaven on Earth
Given a birth
Life unfurled
Joy to our world
On a wander
Stop to ponder
In a wonder wonderland
Taking her hand I understand
Glories of the grand

Won’t let them waste away
Precious is the day
Take advantage of the birth
For what it’s worth
On a wander
Stop to ponder
In a wonder wonderland
Taking her hand I understand
Glories of the grand

LYRICS
There’s one thing in life that’s for sure
You’ve got to love love…
And all that’s in store
Never know when you’ll hit the floor
Soon you’ll be knocking on heaven’s door
Just like that
Right back for more

Dear God,
I pray you recycle
Don’t want to be Gabriel or Michael
A highfalutin angel or laudy daudy
I want flesh and bone… give me a body
Same as before
Just like that
Right back for more

Appreciate what I’ve been given
But, I can’t get enough of this living
Never bored to death nor to die for
Not “The End”… to be continued… another door
Just like that
Right back for more
Just like that….

Any cheer is good cheer
A New Year
365 around the sun
Another year done

Any cheer is good cheer
A New Year
Night and daylight
Are looking bright

LYRICS
When that feeling comes over me
Oh, Lord, makes me want to plead
Oh, please! Oh, no, oh, please
Don’t let him bleed
Beyond absolute
That baby is too damn cute
Under advise
Would be be shame to sacrifice
And on and on and on it goes
Personal demons are the greatest foes
Forgive the sinner from all his woes
So why oh why must he die?
If we all promise not to sin
We pray he can go on living
And on and on and on it goes
Personal demons are the greatest foes
Forgive the sinner from all his woes

bookmark_borderDelicious Ludicrous

LYRICS
As to the taste of the highfalutin
And fancy
As to the waste… the flatulence
Of the lazy
If you’re head is up your ask
It’s kind-of hard to bask
In the limelight (Right?)
The envy is not green
If you know what I mean?
Jealousy of decrepitcy
Is beyond silly
Delicious ludicrous
Salacious hypocrites
And dimwits

bookmark_borderMonkey Around

LYRICS
Who wants to be the agitator
Of a wasp or an alligator
Not long to ponder
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest

Watch the silly monkey
Mouse around with the angry
What a silly monkey
To horse around…
With tolerancey

Who wants to be the one to rile
A viper or a crocodile
No time to wonder
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest
(chorus)

Who wants to be the one to say “I am!”
When asked the task
“Who’ll put their head in the mouth of this lion?”
No time to squander
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest
(chorus)

[Poke the bear… if you dare]

LYRICS
How bizarre
To wonder how far
To follow a star
Plan to make it my destiny
To clearly see
On the road, my destination —
To infinity
How bizarre
To wonder how far
To follow the star

No gold, frankincense or myrrh
Who could ask for more
Though I’m not a wealthy king
In the heart, all of my love I bring

How bizarre
To wander so far
To follow a star
Plan to make it my odyssey
To finally see
On the road, my destination —
To infinity
How bizarre
To wander so far
To follow the star
(chorus)

LYRICS
As they pick up the fear
Kict-it into gear
Overdrive
Plunge and dive
With hands as fast as lightning
World’s a little less frightening
With wit to cut to the quick
Sense of humor’s sick

As they pick up the fear
Better seer clear
On the verge
Adrenaline surge

As they pick up the fear
Virtue hold dear
Overdrive
Staying alive
