LYRICS
It is what it is
There ain’t no arguin’
Fact is in fact fact
… good place to begin

How long has man
Made an upright stand
What do we go to war for?
Repeat, repeat
Same mistake again and again
That dumb?
We don’t even know
Which way to go

How come are we really that dumb?

LYRICS
I saw a little saw
Fall a great big tree
Hey, Ma! A brittle flaw
In destiny

The greater the tall
The further the fall

Timber!
Shiver!

I see a raging sea
Capsize a mighty ship
Hey, Ma! They better flee
Panic flip trip
Oh, Lord
Man overboard?

The greater the tall
The further the fall

Where to begin?

Where it ends
It starts over again

Where to begin?

At the end
You can find
Where it starts
Whose your friend
The kind kind
Not just parts

It starts over again

Hamster run faster
Toward disaster
Or cease
For peace

LYRICS
When the light strikes you
The theory holds true
You’re a reflection of all you do

The light bounces to an eye (I)
Reflecting on reflecting I realize
I’m a reflection of all I do

Through the prism of a generation
There should be generalization of realization
We’re a reflection of all we do

LYRICS
What is our solution
To the saline solution
Can you see
We’ve left the sea
In a terrestrial evolution

Hear we’re filling the ocean
With our own pollution
Can you see
We’re killing the sea
In a tribal revolution

ABOUT THIS SONG

This song was inspired by a trip to the Shore with my son. It got me thinking that the human body is mostly salt water. I fail to see how we can pollute the sea.

Standing in the ocean
Watching the tide roll out
I start to thinking
My feet are sinking
I begin figgerin’
What life’s about

Standing in the ocean
Watching the tide roll in
As I get a notion
My body’s in motion
The spirit’s en route
Life’s precious… no doubt

Writing the Song “Thawed Just Ice”

LYRICS
When the doom starts to loom
Go toward the omnipresent light
When storm troopers goon
Got to stick up for what is right

What is “just” must come true
True the alignment is meant

When you feel down on your luck
When you are persecuted
It’s time to give a F&%#!
Risking being executed

What is “just” must come true
True the alignment is meant

LYRICS AND CHORDS

Am                   G              Am      G  Am
Little by little the night turns around,

                          G           Am    G  Am
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

Dm                   C          Dm          C  Dm
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning,

Am               G              Am
Over the hills a swallow is resting

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Am                 G                 Am     G  Am
Over the mountains watching the watcher,

                      G               Am    G  Am
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow,

Am                      G            Am
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun,

Am
The heart of the sun,  The heart of the sun...

Am                    G            Am       G  Am
Witness the man who waves at the wall,

                        G               Am  G  Am
Making the shape of his questions to heaven

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Whether the sun will fall in the evening,

Am                   G            Am
Will he remember the lesson of giving?

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

LYRICS
I could drone on and on and on and on
About civilians prone to the attack of the drone
Like a new born baby, I could cry and wail
About the plight of the killed killer whale

State sanctioned execution
Coal Age pollution electrocution
Currency manipulation devaluation

I could moan on and on and on and on
About civilians prone to the burden of the government loan
Like a scene from a nightmare dream, I could scream
About humans being so #%& damn mean

LYRICS
I’m not looking for you to spare a dime
I’m not looking for any of your time
I’m just asking you do the asking of you

At the end of it all
Can you stand tall?
Will you stand at all… or will you fall?
Yell! Heaven or hell (Hell no!)

Do you offer shelter from the howling wind
Do you offer refuge? It’s time to begin
Implications are huge… not only for you, but me, too

ABOUT THIS SONG
While I was trying to record video for how to play the guitar part, the wind was blowing. Since I didn’t yet have a title for the song, I called it what I was trying to do — block the wind. Then, a guy came buy and threw me a dime. The lyrics developed from there.

LYRICS

PART I
Mama had a baby and it’s head popped off
Unless there’s less stress
For sure, the pressure will kill
Until,
There’s less stress

Shake that soda up
(Watch that soda pop)

Until,
There’s less stress
In the system
We’ll all be the victim
Of too much pressure
For sure

Shake that soda up
Until it’s soda pop

PART IV
Mama had a baby and it’s head popped off
Unless there’s less stress
The pressure will build
The pressure will kill
Unless there’s less stress

Go ahead, and shake that soda up
Watch that soda pop

Mama had a baby and it’s head popped off

Unless there’s less stress

Go ahead, and shake that soda up
Watch that soda pop

Mama had a baby and it’s head popped off

For sure
The pressure
Will kill

LYRICS
Was she serious when she said
Serious dumpster fire ahead?
The Boulevard’s shut down
How we gonna get around?

Was she serious?
A serious dumpster fire
Seriously?
It sounds funny to me

How could civilization transpire
To the point of a “serious” dumpster fire?
That’s what the lady on the radio said
“Hello. This is your radio…
Traffic update”
At any rate, she went on to state
“The Boulevard is shut down
You’ll have to find a way around.”
Then, like the town crier
She said, “serious dumpster fire”

LYRICS
You know that you are out of touch
Does it bother you much?

For way too long
You’ve been going wrong
(going, going, going, gone)
You’re out of touch

Are you out of touch
Does it bother you much

You sit and rap
You call that rap
You call that crap?
You try to rhyme
But, it doesn’t work… most of the time

You’re out of touch
Way too much
Then, again
Way too often

Check out
Outside of your shell
Out of your living hell

You’re way out of touch
Does it bother you much?

Have you heard the news
You’re giving them the blues
With your lack of comprehension
Your lack of attention
Your lack of satisfaction

You’re out of touch
Does it bother you much?

Let’s not let all our future drain into the past

Forget about all that silly nonsense

Relevant
As an elephant
In a China shop
Now, drop

It’s time to be big
Big… bigger than this
Bigger than this
A luscious kiss
Able to transcend
Again and again

Time to get relevant
Like an elephant in a China shop
Now, drop

Relevant

Like an elephant in a China shop
Now, drop
Irreverent in a reverent way
Instead of gone astray
We can band together
As a band
Not, necessarily hand-in-hand
(Staying unique)

Coming relevant
Like an elephant
In a China shop
Now, drop!
