LYRICS
Effectual disfunction
Electoral malfunction
I ain’t lyin’ … cryin’
He ain’t no lion
win, lose or tie…
Grrrrrr
Paper tiger

Zhilaohu Zila la la la Zila who?
Godzilla la la la
Zhila, God!
Godzilla, God, Zhi Lao
Faker. Liar.
Paper Tiger

Effectual disfunction
Golly, E.D.? Really? God save me!
Electoral malfunction
I ain’t lyin’ … cryin’
He ain’t no lion
win, lose or tie…
Grrrrrr
Paper tiger

The Netherlands think you don’t understand
Mexico knows you’re loco
And, China… na, na, na (Who? Zhilaohu!)
Iran thinks you ran out of brain
You’re insane

Bring on world hate
As you go irate
We’d rather love
Flyin’ in… white peace dove

LYRICS
Breaking the law, they’re breaking the law
Lawmakers breaking the law
In awe
Lawfakers. Lawbreakers.
We don’t need no stinkin’ badges
We got egos
I swear to uphold the hold-up
That no truth is self-evident
Now that I’m President
All’s corrupt

Breaking the law, they’re breaking the law
Law enforcers are the perpetrators
The Executive Branch all turned traitors
Drain the swamp and lay with ‘gators
Going to bed with legislators
Making laws by breaking laws
Breaking the law, they’re breaking the law

LYRICS
Revolting? Revolt!
Screw loose and a bolt

And, he was breaking the law
Playin’ his guitar was the last thing I saw
Then, my jaw dropped in awe
Playing the guitar is breaking the law
Dilute! We gotta dilute the brute
Refute! We gotta refute the brute
Riveting jolt
Revolt
Screw loose and a bolt
You had to pull a 45
Pointblank at my head
I’m just lucky to be alive
When 45 said we could all be dead

LYRICS
Is it that hard to understand
We’re all in nobody’s land
On my way… on the trail
Distance from the bigly fail
What was once the lonesome trail
All of us exit… U.S. exodus wail
Yippee ki-yay yippi yi yo
From the land where humanity’s bland
We’re all headed to nobody’s land
Away from the brash and grand
On our way in nobody’s land
The lonesome trail is getting over crowded
All the people fleeing from being overshadowed
All the people seeing from being overshadowed
All the people freeing from being overshadowed
On my way… on the trail
Distance from the bigly fail
What was once the lonesome trail
All of us exit… U.S. exodus wail
Yippee ki-yay yippi yi yo

LYRICS
Put you love around it
If you just can’t handle it
Give you love
Give a little bit
Put your love around it
Not for granted
Not a habit
Give you love

Put your heart…
Put your heart into it
Give you love
Give a little bit
Put you body, mind and spirit
Into it
Give you love
Give a little bit

LYRICS
Not bold nor ingenuous
The world is indigenous
From “I”raq to You.S.A
Wouldn’t you say
It’s all of us
What does every being bring
The essence of an Earthling
What have you in common with I
The simple fact — we’re all going to die
So, in the meantime, can’t we all try
Dancing together and in harmony sing
We’d love to see the world sing
In peaceful harmony

LYRICS
Dial denial
Truth’s trial
Set “to know”
At zero
I dial denial
But get no answer
Under the file —
“A Truth Dancer”
45’s revolutions
45/minute
45 RPM
45’s revolutions
45/minute
45… revolutions per minute
Don’t you know you’re soaking in it?
(Those alive search for truth no matter how minute)
45 RPM, I am
Going round and round again and again
45 causing 45 revolutions per minute
45 RPM again and again
45 RPM
45 RPM going round n’ round agin’
I am 45 RPM going round agin’
Imagine this
The POTUS
Takes us down the precipice
Disastrous
For all of us
Going down, down, down
In the (tiny) hands of a clown
45 ’till no one is left alive
going under, dive, dive, dive
45’s revolutions
45/minute
45’s revolutions
45 revolutions per minute

LYRICS
Put the facts in the trunk
And lock them up
Put the truth in the closet
And lock them up
With the skeleton key
And lock them up

No passing grade bound to flunk
Get yourself a yes man and yup, yup, yup
He won’t refund your deposit
On your knees if ya wanna be free

The bucket of sanity
Is completely empty
The old man is salty
More than just slightly
Can’t take it so lightly

Cause friction with more fiction
In a fascist fashion
Fracture diction by definition
In a fascist fashion
Cause destruction with my pollution
In a fascist fashion

LYRICS
Ma, Ma, Ma have you her, her, heard
There’s something wrong with this record
The top will tip
Record skip
Batch scratch

Alt-right all wrong
And their song too long
Alternative to right
Just ain’t right
Noooo, it’s all wrong
The top will tip
Record skip
Batch scratch

Scratch that alt-fact
Hypocrite as a matter of fact
Get back! You’re whack!
Back, back, back
The top will tip
Record skip
Batch scratch

Alt-right is all wrong
Much more than a snowflake can take
Recipe if ya ask me
For alt-right — half bake

At war with Norway?
No way
Need I ask you
Australia, too?
Noo, no, no say not Mexico
Naa, na, na no not China
Well, what if I were to tell you
The EU

We’re not in Kansas any more
Dorothy, can you see
What was Kansas is no more
At war
Kansas no more
Toto, too?

Because the land of Oz
Wasn’t what you thought it was

Attack Iraq

See ya Syria
Amen Yemen

Let hate reign on Ukraine

LYRICS
Please bow your heads,
In this sad and troubled time
Please keep in mind
Don’t be diminished… don’t Bdim

Watch for falling Standing Rock
On your way to Bowling Green’s Woodstock
A festival for the fallen
Nooo, please, please, please don’t be diminished

If you’re going to splurge on a dirge
Don’t Bdim
If you’re going to try to make the ladies cry
Don’t be diminished… don’t Bdim

Oh no there you go
Turning friend into foe
No, no, no
I’m not finished
I won’t be diminished
I won’t Bdim
