LYRICS
At your peak
Take a peek
Into the future
And tell me
Do you like what you see
Or didn’t you know
This is your show
Let’s go!

At your peak
Do you seek
To endure
And tell me
Did you set yourself free
Or didn’t you know
This is your show
Let’s go!

Took a peak
Strong or weak
Is your future
And tell me
Did you save our family
Or didn’t you know
This is your show
Let’s go!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you sowing wisdom’s seeds
Be bestowing random deeds
Free the way for some freedom
Lead the way through the undone
Gotta undo what we did
Who we tryin’ to kid?

Are you “so”-ing random pleads
Are you showing wisdom leads
Free the way for some freedom
Lead the way through the undone
Gotta undo what we did
Who we tryin’ to kid?
confess to our mess and redress
Refute the dispute
To refuse our refuse

Are you growing? Wisdom feeds
Be bestowing golden deeds
Free the way for some freedom
Lead the way through the undone
Gotta undo what we did
Who we tryin’ to kid?
confess to our mess and redress
Refute the dispute
To refuse our refuse
Time to claim our shame
And tame our appetite
Can’t you see
We’re barking up the wrong tree
Time to claim our shame
And tame our appetite
… we just might
See the light

What you can do today. How to save the planet.

LYRICS
Those days of living free
With no responsibility
Elude me
Those times of living large
Oh so arrogant
Pay the rent
Racking up dues
For the Age of the Blues
The present
Feel free to chime in
Help with the timing
I present the present
Breaking news
Free time blues
Breaking knews
It’s a crime
What happened to free time
What happened to free time
Is a crime

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The thrill into a chill
The will to free freewill
The vision you envision
Is your dream
Once you know what it means
Guess it’s on you
To follow through?
Yes, it’s up to you
To follow through

To drill into the chill
The skill to free freewill
To envision your vision
Is the dream
Once you know what it means
Guess it’s on you
To follow through?
Yes, it’s up to you
To follow through

Fulfill into the chill
No frills to free freewill
The decision to envision
Is to dream
Once you know what it means
Guess it’s on you
To follow through?
Yes, it’s up to you
To follow through

LYRICS
Free… is that what you want to be?
Free of responsibility?
Well, golly
Excuse me
I didn’t see you were drowning
In self-pity

Free… is that what you want to be?
Free of responsibility?
Well, what’s right
With your rights
Comes responsibilities
Then, what’s left
Is a civil society
Free… have we come to be
Rationally?

Written and recorded on July 4, 2023. With your freedom comes responsibilities. You have the responsibility not to litter, pollute, or impede others’ freedom. In the Nash equilibrium, each player’s strategy is optimal when considering the decisions of other players. “If things are not so good, you may be one to imagine something better,” said John Forbes Nash, Jr. (1994 Nobel Prize for Economics)

bookmark_borderTo Cause a Change (Theme Song)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I heard you ranting
I heard you rave
Does it leave you wanting
To go out and save
Hey! How about now
We make a change anyhow?
Or will the will stand still
Will it?
Will it!

I heard you screaming
I heard you shout
Does it have meaning
What’s it about
Hey! How about now
We make a change anyhow?
Or will the will stand still
Will it?
Will it!

I heard you swearing
I heard you curse
Is the frown you’re wearing
Making things worse
Hey! How about now
We make a change anyhow?
Or will the will stand still
Will it?
Will it!

Uppercase delta (Δ) means “change” or “the change” in math. An example in which a variable x stands for the movement of an object: “Δx” means “the change in movement.” Scientists make use of this mathematical meaning of delta in various branches of science. (So do artists and musicians)

This song is the theme song for the audio / visual experience known as To Cause a Change (With the Delta Force) — a multimedia experiment about how we can help change the world!

LYRICS
Who chose hard?
Dealt card?
No, make it easy
To be
Born free, clearly
Clearly born free
To see you’re free
In a dream scene

Not a moment to discard
Pass hard
Know, make it easy
To be
Born free, clearly
Clearly born free
To see you’re free
In a dream scene

Found to be on guard

Freedom
How long has it been
I don’t even know
Freedom
Sure hope that it can
Show up for the show

Once the ID’s start
Hard to tell apart
Same from head to toes
Eyes, ears, and a nose
(Who knows?)

Freedom
Dare hope to get some
I don’t even know

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
With no hole in the end
It’s hard to pretend
There’s light in this tunnel
With no whole in The End
It’s hard to pretend
All’s right at our funeral
The further we all dig in deep
The farther our worst fears creep
The higher that we climb above
As dire’s calling for our love
Riding the wave of save

In a dimension of two
It’s hard to get through
To the bright side
In a dimension with you
Our shared point-of-view
Nowhere to hide
The further we all dig in deep
The farther our worst fears creep
The higher that we climb above
As dire’s calling for our love
Riding the wave of save

Moving outside the box
Changing all of the locks
Finding freedom
Freeing from the flocks
Changing all the clocks
Far less kingdom
The further we all dig in deep
The farther our worst fears creep
The higher that we climb above
As dire’s calling for our love
Riding the wave of save

LYRICS
This is a door I never knew exists
The sign says exit
I know for sure I’ll forever resist
We’re here to fix it
The sun may be setting on the rest
Who knows? Maybe it’s for the best
But we’ve stood the test
We’re hear to fix it
Standing fast we won’t quit

This is a floor I’ve never been to before
The sign says Penthouse
Glad to see there’s forever more
The elephant’s mouse
The sun may be setting on the rest
Who knows? Maybe it’s for the best
But we’ve stood the test
We’re hear to fix it
Standing fast we won’t quit

This is a stage I’ve always wanted to play
I’m feeling blessed
This is the age… we’re living in the day
Who would’ve guessed?
The sun may be setting on the rest
Who knows? Maybe it’s for the best
But we’ve stood the test
We’re hear to fix it
Standing fast we won’t quit

LYRICS
After all, ohhhh so tall
House of cards starts to fall
All the king’s horses and all king’s men
Couldn’t put the charlatan together again

Stacked them up way too tall
House of cards starts to fall
All the king’s horses and all king’s men
Couldn’t put the charlatan together again

Populace made the call
House of cards going to fall
All the king’s horses and all king’s men
Couldn’t put the charlatan together again

Watch him cry. Watch him ball
House of cards fall, fall, fall
All the king’s horses and all king’s men
Couldn’t put the charlatan together again

LYRICS
Ransacked the hearts of the humane
Pitchforks, their signs of hate… explain?

An unruly, ugly mob
Enough to make my head throb
This is more than ugly jokes
It’s dropped eggs… they’re broken yokes
Scrambled
Strained on the brain
Combine ignorance and insane
Save us from ourselves
From the depth we delve

An unruly, ugly mob
Enough to make my head throb
Ransacked the hearts of the humane
Pitchforks, their signs of hate… explain?

Strained on the brain
Combine malice and criminally insane
Save us from ourselves
From the depth we delve

Of the part and parcel

Wrapped up tight
Quite a sight
In the red, white, and blue
What’s with you
Point-of-view
Blurred in the red, white, and blue
Do we have a clue
What we’re trying to do
Wrapped up in the red, white, and blue

Wrapped up tight
Get it right
For the red, white, and blue
Racial stew
Good for you
Tastin’ the red, white, and blue
Deeds in lieu
Let’s follow through
A present in the…
