LYRICS
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech
When you start to wine, wail n’ preach
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech
Chorus
If you’re going to talk the talk
Better make sure you can walk the walk
To get what we teach to reach
(2) To get what we seek in deep
What we seek to sink in deep
Start to think I can see the kingdom come come
When we start to find, sail n’ then some
Start to think I can see the kingdom come come
LYRICS
We’re building a prison
You’re already in
We’re building a prison
Too late to begin
It’s time to shout,
Breakout!
‘take my freedom,
Takeout
What’s our independence all about?
They’re building a prison
I’m already in
They’re building a prison
Too late to begin
Watch the fall… Independence Hall
Watching the fall of us all
Watch the travesty of liberty
Sights our eyes should never see
Song For Emily Video
ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — D G
E
This song is about Emily Yates — a lady that got assaulted and arrested by Park Rangers at Independence Mall / the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
LYRICS
If we don’t stand up
And, fight for what’s right
Chances are… we’ll loose
If we don’t stand up
And, fight for what’s right
Doing nothing is to choose
Space or lack thereof
Don’t you have enough nothing
Peace, charity and love
Fill up and spread to everything
Spread it to everything, everywhere, everyone
LYRICS
Justice delayed is justice denied
When it’s implied, it’s applied
Justice denied
Justice delayed
Justice dismayed
Justice denied
Black hat
White hat
What side?
Justice delayed is justice denied
It might be easy to say
A you just sit on your swing and sway
“That’s nice… justice”
Until they put you behind the bars
The accounts that might just be too bizarre
For you to realize
Treatment by your government…
You might put into size
It might not be quite right

Made in the USA (West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)
While I was sitting on the courthouse wall writing music, a man stopped by (Chris) and asked if I could write a song about him “having a job and wishing he was at the shore, instead.” Since my son and I were also trying to plan a trip to the beach, I combined the ideas.
LYRICS
All the days under the sun
Like father, like son
All the ways our mission won
Like father, like son
A chip off the ‘ole block
Contribution to the genetic clock
A chip off the ‘ole block
Reign’s end drawing near… tick-tock
Chorus
Standing up for freedom
Bringing sum enlightenment to some
Fighting for the good fight
Giving proof through the night
Are you aware? Our flag’s still there
Chorus
Hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle
Little Boy Blue and the Man In The Moon
Boy to man then to dust too soon
When you coming home Dad (Son)? “I don’t know when…
You know we’ll get together then.”

LYRICS
I bet you’ve got a story you thought I’ve never heard
I bet you’ve got a story considered beyond absurd
So, climb aboard and ride the bandwagon with me
So, climb aboard and swing from a star
It’s easy to be beyond bizarre
You say the picture of Earth is hanging crooked
You say the politicians are all f#&%ed
Well, today’s the day we rectify
Today’s the day the try is the dye
Break the mold and cast the I
