LYRICS
The ebb and flow
Of the tide do you know
Which way it’s going to go
Do you know if it’s going high
Or is it going low
Coming in or going out
I’m just trying to find out what it’s all about
If I’m going to ride the tide to the other side
Figure I better stop looking inside
And start exploring out
See if I can find out what it’s about
So, I was just wondering if you know
About the ebb and flow
If you know which way the tide is going to go
Going high or going low
So if you can just give me the heads up on when the tides up
I would like to partake in the participation of ridin’ the time
Surfs up
Come ride the tide
Surfs up
That’s what’s up

LYRICS
I must say… I appreciate your gait
The way you walk makes people talk
And when you’re not lookin’ boy do they gawk
Must say… the way your hips swing
Makes for a good day
The shape of an hourglass
Love watching you pass

Why Do Ya Gotta a Gallbladder?.mp3
LYRICS
Why do you gotta gallbladder?
As you climb up the evolutionary ladder
Why do you still have a gallbladder
We’re still looking for intelligent life
As you climb the evolutionary ladder
Sadder?
Gladder?
Why do you have a gallbladder?
From what I heard about a purple haze
People use to hang out and graze
Not like we were sittin’ on our asses
When we’re grazing on the grasses
’cause
chewing cud
for days
For days being dazed
We’d graze
Which brings it right back around to the center of your human being
You’ve got this gallbladder
And on your evolutionary ladder
Your race
In this space
Your outer space
This is Earth
Your birth
Your birth is a human
So as long as you can
Fess up
Which brings us around again to you and all your kin
Which I imagine must be me
As you can see
You’ve got a gallbladder
Why do you gotta gallbladder?
This ain’t about a social ladder
This is about your gallbladder

bookmark_borderMan With The Plan
LYRICS
I hear your name is Dan
And, you’re the man with the plan
Would you say it again
Over and over again
I hear your name is Dan
You’re the man with the plan
Would you tell me again
I’m a lil’ slow ya know
Can’t take it all in
I know where we’ve been
But, I’m having trouble with where to begin
The plan, Dan
For man, Dan
The plan, Dan
For man, Dan
Dan you’re the man with the plan
Would you let us in
And, say it again
’cause I’m a lil’ slow ya know
And, I really can’t take it in
I can’t bare it with a grin
So, tell us again
Please would you say it again and again and again
It’s not like we’ll listen
Would you say it again
So, if you don’t mind as to be so kind
If you could go over it again and again and again
Because the human sin… well, I’ve heard I’ve been forgiven
So I can do it again
Over and over and over again
So if you’re just going to bring… just going to spring
This thing on me now
Somehow,
I’m suppose to be responsible for all that I am able…
To be
Well, golly
It’s seems like… ya, know… a lot of work
Not to be such a jerk
This is Dan with the plan
I’m a man
A human
I can understand that we’ve got to make a change
But there’s a few individuals that want to gobble it all
Gobble it all up
’till there’s none left for the rest of us
So, this is Dan the man with the plan
The human
Trying to explain the gap in the synapse
Trying to re-arrange the brain
The membrane
The rationality
Sensibility
Responsibility
For both you and me
Or we’re all going to cease to be
(That’s something none of us want to see)
Wake the F#$% up

LYRICS
If you’re feeling the day-to-day is drudgery
Just another cog in the human factory
Maybe it’s time to wake up and see
All you can be
If you’re feeling the day-to-day is drudgery
Maybe it’s time for a new recipe
Where we wake up and see
All we can be
If you’re feeling the day-to-day is drudgery
Maybe it’s not too late to get out and see
Get up, get out… be all you can be

LYRICS
Sure hope I never see the day
When I never see the day
I hope I never see the day when I never see the day
When all in sight is the black of night
Not even a reflection from the moon
Daylight can’t come too soon
I hope I never see the day when I never see the day
Blue sky
Oh, my, my
Before we do what we do for you
Got to see the light
Keep alive
And the day will arrive
I hope I never see the day when I never see the day
It’s all right
Alright
The daylight
If I may take the liberty
To tell ya what I see
To try to explain me
I hope I never see the day when I never see the day
All right daylight
Alright daylight
In sight
Daylight
Insight
Daylight
I hope and pray every day
That I never see the day when I never see the day
Every day above ground is a good day
Every day I’ve found sound is a good day
All right daylight
Alright daylight

LYRICS
Er, a…
How’s your credit?
You want me to lend you my ear
Hear here… now
Forget it
There might be a few mistakes that you’ll make
As long as you don’t fake
That you regret it
If you know you’ve made a mistake
If you know you’ve been a fake
You’re better off to regret it
To begin to be forgiven of that sin
Isn’t it a sin
Not to begin?
How’s your credit?
You want me to lend you my ear
You can forget it

LYRICS
The march of the mindless people
All in the name of the steeple
It’s getting deep but still
The march of the mindless people
The march of the mindless sapiens
Repeat the same phrases
Repeat the same phases
Again and again and again
The march of the mindless people
It’s getting deep but still
In the name of their steeple
The march of the mindless people
The march of the mindless people
It’s getting deep but still
They march, they march, they march… until
The cows come home
Into the setting sun
They march, march, march
’till the west is won
’till overkill is overdone
March, march, march
Hut 2, 3, 4
March into the dark
We march on a lark
Into the dark
The march of the mindless people
All under the name of their steeple
The point, their point on the top of their head
That negates everything they’ve said
They march, march, march
The blind leading the blind
To the unkind
The march of the mindless people
It’s getting dark
But still
They will
Do as they will
The march of the mindless people
March of the Mindless People.mp3

LYRICS
Do you consider yourself outrageous
Do you consider your outrageous outright contagious?
Is your outrageous contagious in such a way that it may be spontaneous
Some spontaneous combustion
I feel it churning
The hearts are yearning
Is your outrageous contagious?
Do you consider yourself outrageous
Do you consider yourself outrageous outright contagious?
Can you gauge your outrage
About our time… about our age
You’d think the history book would have already turned the page
Yet we march
Some say stampede
We’ve got to succeed in… divin’ over the cliff
’till we’re all stiff
Over the cliff
‘tell we’re all dead and stiff
Do you consider yourself outrageous
Is your outrageous outright contagious?
The outrageous age ages us
Becoming before it’s due
Yes we do
Become old before we’re due
Yes we do

LYRICS
Have you humans no self worth?
Living on a giant pile of filth
Just selfishness and greediness
Leads inevitably to worthlessness
Does the Pope poop in the woods
A bear Catholic… believing God is good
Can you see the trees through the forest
If one falls can it be heard by the rest
Have you humans all gone mad
Not even the lightest bit sad
Am I standing here all alone
Thinking it’s a shame to trash our own home?
Does the Pope Poop in the Woods? .mp3

LYRICS
Do you dread what’s in your head
And when you come to
Will you think so, too?
Do you dread what’s in your head?
Well, my guess
If I were to wager
If I were to place a bet
I could just wait and see
As far as I can see
You set your own destiny
You’re better off to figure
Before you pull the trigger
You better figure it out
Don’t scream and shout
Can’t we just put it to bed?
Oh please don’t ever let me get dread locks in my head

LYRICS
I think it’s time we had a talk with your mother
Unless you have some sort-of druther
I think it’s best if we had a talk with your mother
What’s she gonna think when she see’s this stink
“Jesus, not another”
Mamm, I don’t know if you know who I am
No need to slam
But you might want to have a confidential with your boy
’cause it seems in the pursuit of joy
He thought all the rest of us were just his toy
So please
Get him to cease
If I may say…
Being interrupted in such a rude way
I think it’s time we had a talk with your mother
I’m thinking she might be left in awe
Ahhhhh
I’m aweful sorry Ma
But, after all the awe
Your son has caused such dismay
So if I may
Go outside and play
If I may ask
Just spank his ass
That boy is out-of-control
He’s an outta control troll
Need to Have a Talk with Your Mother.mp3
