LYRICS
A copulation population explosion
Policed by the copulation cop
You better not get caught
Who’s on top?

Naughty to be naked? Not.
We’re born with what we got

A copulation population induction
Irrational about reproduction
Going to great strides to hide our hide
Thin skin over exposed skin

Naughty to be naked? Not.
We’re born with what we got

A copulation population revolution
Going to turn the bed on it’s head
Tired of being told what we ought
Time to stand up for laying down… let the fight be fought

Naughty to be naked? Not.
We’re born with what we got

LYRICS
[If I’ve become aware to care… we’re wear aware]

It was in the presence

In the presence of the effervescence

Once I became aware
That you were there
It wasn’t just me
I could see
Once I became aware
You were there
How could I not care?

I had to care
Once I was aware

LYRICS
If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

“General Population reporting for duty, Sir.
From my naivety you may infer!”

If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

Not on my leg using your urine
Not through some giant money siphon
More like firin’ up the horizon
The enlighten siren

Sirens of silence
Falling on deaf ears
Sirens of silence
Playing out our fears

If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

Not the ice that’s crashing into the sea
Not the smog foggin’ up what I see
Not ozone in the wind a blowin’
Not ebola in the gut growin’
You’d think these would all make a fine sign
Nooooo… we pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
We’re taking the free trial of denial for certain

Sirens of silence
Falling on deaf ears
Sirens of silence
Playing out our fears

LYRICS
How could this be?
I can’t believe what I see
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t believe what I see
I am bleeding from my I’s
War, poverty, disease… no more please

Oh my goodness, dear
I fear what it is I hear
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t believe what I hear
It’s the politicians that I fear
War, poverty, disease… no more please

This social disease is beat
I’ve gotta get off my seat
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t let these events pass
I am bleeding from my…
But,

War, poverty, disease… no more please

LYRICS
You want to talk about the bully?
The fact of the matter is… there is no bully
No Boogie Man
’cause there’s no such thing as the Boogie Man

No Boogie Man

Is he underneath your bed
Or is he just in your head

Gotta stand up
Is he underneath your bed
Or is he just in your head
You can make him dead
Be the bully of the Boogie Man

There ain’t no such thing as a bully
There ain’t no such thing as a Boogie Man
Don’t be afraid of the dark
Just be the spark
Set the world alight
Alright!

If you thought
Thought not
Been the victim of a bully?
I don’t suggest you become him
But, I’m… I am….
That you….

LYRICS
Should I go over there and ask her to dance
Take that chance?

Don’t want to come off as some jerk that wants to twerk
Why? I don’t want to be that guy
Want to be next to you in shinning armor
(Maybe even arm in arm… or….)

Should I take a chance and ask her to dance?

Not gonna hassle by asking to hustle
Not even to do the bump
(Might be going to far if we bump rumps)

Should I take a chance and ask her to dance?
Should I go over there and say do you care…
To dance

Would don’t need to slow dance
We don’t need to go that far
We can just get into our own space
And understand at most… just hold a hand

Should I take that chance
Go over there and ask her to dance
“Do you care to dance
I thought I saw you cast a glance
Would you care to dance?”

Should I go over there
(Instead of sitting here with a blank stare)

What was the reason for the breakdown in reason
Was it the season
The super full moon
Crack the loon?

What was the reason for the breakdown in reason
Was it a lesion
Lack of medication
Too much meditation

Om, um, I’m

As a matter of fact
The fact of the grey matter doesn’t matter
… what does matter
Is to realize — it’s all the I’s
Me and you, too

My thoughts have been on paying him respect.
Was it correct…
The thing society did neglect
Respect
Might not have been given to him… in hindsight.
Might, right?
… and he deserved some… deserved sum

Special wrestle with the reason reason

Ripe with the sweet nectar of the guitar

Now the task to bask some in the sun
