Here’s The Thing

Posted on October 22, 2016October 22, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
If you can’t sing
And you can’t dance
Do you even stand a chance
Of being free
Can you tell me?

Here’s the thing
Song and dance
Give you a fighting chance
Of being free
You’re tellin’ me

What you bring
To the dancehall dance
Gives your soul a chance
Of being free
Lord, set me free!

LYRICS
First ya think it’ll never
Then it comes together
Determination for soul-ution
First ya think it’ll never
Then it comes together
Eradication of pollution

What the heck
Better hit the deck
It’s a war zone
911 on the phone
Still, he won’t leave me alone
The lights are on but no one’ home

Thorn in lion’s paw
Mouse takes out in awe
Determination of solution
First ya think it’ll never
Then it comes together
Determination for soul-ution

Just as well
Damned to hell
Now the scene
We shall clean
Sooner or later everything passes
Even for the biggest asses

Emancipation Will (Set You Free)

Posted on October 18, 2015October 19, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
The command of the land, air and sea
I can see to eternity
Command understand
And, control your destiny
One-man-band command the polyphony epiphany
Conductor of the angelic army symphony
Singing in harmony
There ain’t no harm in me
I’m here to serve thee
I’m here to hear your cheer
Audience participation as a solution to devastation
Emancipation of your will to be free
Will your will be free?
Will your will to be freewill
Until you’re forever still
Emancipation Will (Set You Free)
Emancipation Will (Set Me Free)
Emancipated will
Salvation liberation

Generals And Majors

Posted on September 28, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
What shall we do?
I dunno about me… well, how about you?

General made a general mistake
Major has made a major problem
What’s at stake is solemn
Subject to corporal punishment
In our private establishment

What shall we do?
I dunno about me… well, how about you?

Have the bugler sound an alarm
‘less we all suffer harm
Not sure who is at fault
But now we’re under assault

While the admiral does admire
His ship sinking and on fire
In the end was he just liar?
Maybe it’s time to retire

Wingnuts

LYRICS
Right wing. Left wing.
Hear them sing
Thinking they’re the only thing
Left wing. Right wing.
Here’s the thing
Coming to our table with nothing to bring

The wind of change is starting to blow
Time to re-arrange… time for them to go

Right wing. Left wing.
All ding-a-ling
Thinking they’re the only thing
Left wing. Right wing.
Bird can’t fly
No co-operating… any wonder why?

Chorus

Right wing. Left wing.
Whole thing’s stinkin’
Makes ya wonder what the hell they are thinkin’
Left wing. Right wing. All are freakin’
Waitin’ to see who’s the first one blinkin’

Piece On Peace

Posted on August 25, 2015 by admin

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

I Get It

Posted on July 31, 2015July 31, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Oh,
I get it….
Ooooooooh I get it

Solution to the puzzle
Take off the muzzle
I see
Freedom of speech isn’t free
If the word isn’t spoken
And the slumbered woken

I get it
Tell the world what it’s about
What it is we’ve figured out

I can see
Freedom of speech isn’t free
When enslaved
It takes a human to behave
Soooo please don’t save
Your contribution
To the solution
Of the puzzle
Take off the muzzle

I bet that really stings
Makes your ears ring
Causes throbbing pain
Lack of oxygen to the brain

The road less traveled is more unusual
Such is learned by the stampede of the cruel
Do you see the cruelty of the cruel crowd rule?

(bullfight music interlude)

I bet that really brings
Pain and suffering
Obviously misery
Blinding is what I see

LYRICS
You can set thee free
Free
If it was up to me
I’d set thee free
But it’s up to you
Do you know what to do?
Set thee free

If it was up to me
I would set thee free
But if you wanna come true
It’s up to you
You have got to set thee free

It’s true
It’s up to you
You know
It’s true
It’s up to you
To set thee free
Open up your cage
Shed your rage
Shed your cage

The choice is in your voice
Raise your voice and make your choice
Set thee free

Sickle And Hammer

Sickle And Hammer.mp3

LYRICS
Everybody is rushing to have a revolution
Yet they’ve got no system substitution
Nobody is looking to find a solution
Instead pushing for a Russian revolution
Could be the fall of us all (x2)

For the laborers, the hammer will fall
For the peasantry, the Reaper’s sickle
When death does call
She’s none to fickle
Could be the fall of us all (x2)

Everybody is flushing their toilet
Forgetting whose downstream from their inlet
Can’t just keep streaming our crap
Onto our neighbors’ lap
Could be the fall of us all (x2)

ABOUT THE SONG
D Em G A D
C G D
C A D

A song about being careful what you wish for:

The hammer and sickle (☭) is a Communist symbol that was conceived during the Russian Revolution. At the time of creation, the hammer stood for industrial laborers and the sickle for the peasantry; combined they stood for the worker-peasant alliance for socialism and against reactionary movements and foreign intervention.

Reason To Be

Posted on April 5, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Up over head
A clear blue sky
Have you said
Your purpose… why?

A reason to be
Be one with free

Under your feet
There’s solid ground
Can your feat
Ever be found?

Buffoons to the left
Hypocrites to the right
Blatant theft
In plain sight

Beyond Your Cage

Posted on March 1, 2015April 1, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
First time, last time
What will it be
First time, last time
Set yourself free

Once you unlock your cage door
You’ll never go back to the way it was before

It’s not too late to push that gate
Why wait… push open that gate
Let your inside out
Find out no doubt

Don’t hesitate! Push open the gate!
Through the threshold — you
Let your inside out
Feel free to move about

Lordy, can you help me
Help me to see
See this day that’s free

If you wouldn’t mind…

Free time

Afforded the time to be free
When the sun does rise
Please revive being alive
Instill vitality into me
“Arise!”

In your free time…

Harmonious accord

A Lyrical Interview about The Interview
Sony’s so knee-jerk reaction
No Constitution satisfaction

Chorus
It’s plain to see
Satirical comedy
It’s plain to see
This ain’t reality

Sony’s so knee-jerk reaction
No substitution for affirmative action

No satisfaction from retraction

No liberation without artist expression

Murder Of Crows

Posted on August 25, 2014 by admin

Songwriting at Everhart Park, West Chester, PA

LYRICS
How will we ever know
If we don’t let freedom go
Don’t wanna watch us age
Keeping freedom in a cage

How will we ever grow
If we don’t let freedom go
How can there be a sage
Keeping freedom in a cage

A murder of crows
Count your fingers, count your toes
If we don’t turn the page
Letting freedom outta the cage

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords – E G A D A G E

A rhyme for counting the number of crows in a murder:
One for sorrow, two for mirth,
Three for a wedding, four for a birth,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret not to be told.
Eight for heaven, nine for hell,
And ten for the devil’s own sel’

Written on the streets of West Chester, Chester County, PA. Recorded live at Everhart Park.
