LYRICS
Something gypsy-like strut
Sure thing to shake your…
But…
Let it rattle
Let it roll
End the battle
Of the droll
May the mirthful
Take their toll

“His unique brand
Of droll
Self-mockery”
Join the band
And stroll
Some strutting (Struttering)
No! No if, and or but’s
Hey, hey, hey
Say
You’re shaking our…
But, but, but, but’s

From the album ME and db

Chords: Em

LYRICS
What the hell?
Clear-as-a-bell
See-saw
Teeter tottering
On the brink
Civil-annihilation
Humanitarian
Starvation
Historian
Degradation
Can I count on you
To lean into
Terrestrial realization
Down to earth birth
Singing earthlings
Sky blue blues
They say
They went away
Turned gray

Crawl out of the fright
Crawl in into the light
Walk out of the night
Talk of the found light

From the album R.R. Crossing

Music – Reinhart / Brouse
Lyrics – Brouse
Rick – Bass, Guitar
Daniel – Drums, Keyboards, Vocals
Matt Eck – Banjo
James – Audience
Chords: Dm D

LYRICS
Walking down the street
Head buried deep
Shedding all mystique
Into the crosswalk creep
Really not that far
From being hit by a car
Oblivious
To all of us

Before you end up old
Come out of your own world
Before you end up dead
Listen to what you said

How come you’re in the midst of Vietnam
Lost calm… a pig slaughtered… turned to ham
Singing the Napalm Psalm Song
Head in the sand for how long?
Do you think we might
See the new day’s light?

From the album R.R. Crossing

LYRICS
What’s all this jazz
What are all these jabs
What’s all this rhetoric
Enough to make ya sick

What’s this modern jazz
These post-modern jabs
What’s all this rhetoric
It’s enough to make ya sick

Jazz Interlude

I hear you
You spit and spew
What’s all this jazz
What are all these jabs
What’s all this rhetoric
What’s all this jazz
What are all these jabs
What’s all this rhetoric

It’s getting to thick
I’m up to my ears
I’m up to my eyeballs
I’m up to here
Can’t risk getting near
I’m up to hear
Getting nearer
Well, I feel your fear
You fear is terrorizing me

What’s all this jazz?
What’s all this jazz?
What’s all this modern jazz?

As is turns to was
And, all that jazz
Rest assured

Get the habitat in shape

Scrape together enough to escape

LYRICS
Let’s get in sync

A jazz experimental ditty
Try to get into some spiritual possibility
In this time, in this day, in this age
When you want to turn the page
And get a way from history
Because that’s not my story
I might be a product of my genes
I might be a product of my environment
I’m not a product of the obscene
I’ve come to appreciated what life means

If you feel like your downtrodden… down beat…
Of the old narrate
If you can’t figure out what the hell you’re doing here
When this is heaven
Well, maybe you haven’t been forgiven
Or, maybe you haven’t been enlightened
It’s not too late

Whenever things get hard…
When you think it’s hard
Of course it might depend on your tissue
Your issue
’cause you could be soft inside
The hardened shell is your own hell

It could be just as well
Come out of that shell
With that soft underbelly
Crawl out… it’ll be funny
Come to see
Enlightenment
And, that’s excitement
That’s how you create a thrill
So that people will chill
Create a thrill
And get rid of ill-will
