LYRICS
Why did you have to slap me in the face
I thought I was already awake
If you’re not sure, you could have some… anything… that wouldn’t leave a trace
But, why did you have to slap me in the face
I thought I was already awake
Is it part of some sadistical ritual
Why? Why I?
There’s only so much a guy can take
If a fellow is already awake
Why did you slap me in the face
Trying to put me in my place
I was already awake
I thought I was already awake
How much convincing will it take?

LYRICS
I heard a rumor about our existence
Well, in essence
Is it true what they say about you
You are going to do… and so am I
When you’re dead
And gone from this place
Outta this place
Well, do you think it’s cold in outer space?
I feel so at home
I feel so warm
Can you tell
Is it warm in outer space
Or will it be cold as hell?

LYRICS
Fell under some God spell
Must have fallen under some God spell
Some awful God spell
Some God awful God spell
The gospel shuffle
You’ve got the gospel hustle
Got the gospel shuffle
Something awful
Trying to re-arrange reality
With your “me, me, me”
Is it the gospel shuffle
Or is it the gospel hustle
Can’t recreate history
By putting King James on some dead tree
Try and claim the Pope hasn’t been a dope
The Crusades where we invade
Pulling the shade
We’ve been pulling the shade
Putting us in the dark
Then, wonder why the dog will bark
Yeah, beat your pans
Clank your spoons
Gotta do something soon
To wake-up
Make a clatter
Make some chatter
About the noise

bookmark_borderGypsy Controversy
LYRICS
It seems there is some sort-of gypsy controversy
Hypocrisy
Prejudice-ness
What do you think right and wrong just moves around like a nomad?
Well, you’ve been had
Do you come from a different place
Do you think you’re a different race
Then, you have claimed superiority
Like you’re the supreme being
Claim their inferiority
And you’re the supreme being
Do you even know what hypocrisy means
Talk about the evolution of beings
Do you even know what it means
Before you go there
You better get it
You better understand
The lay of the land
Gypsy controversy
If anything you’ve been tricked on brains
When they where passing out brains
You thought they said trains
You said, “I’ve already got on up in the attic
It goes round and round and round”
Better check the lost-and-found
There’s a gypsy controversy
Is coming into view
Because not everybody is exactly like you

LYRICS
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.
Ya know it’s a must
To dust
We all fall down
What carnation will you be
For your re-incarnation
Do you have a notion
Of what you’ll be
Will you be Stardust?
Stardust
From whence you came you go
Stardust
Live on! Never rust!
ABOUT THE SONG
It is about the murder of a Philadelphia artist and musician, Miriam Irene Shelow (aka Starr). The background photo is from the Hubble telescope capturing the furthest human’s have ever seen into space. Some people believe we come from stardust. Some people believe we return to stardust. In Starr’s case, she gained her nickname from being living stardust. Oh, yeah… the animation at the end is NASA’s depiction of the “Big Bang” (also known as the theory to how got here — stardust.)

LYRICS
In the dawning of mankind
Will man be kind
Dawning of mankind
Will man be kind?
Will the human be humane
The dawning of mankind
It’s hard to find… hard to find
A single soul
It’s hard to believe
I’m the sole soul
How can the war be won
If I’m the only one?
In the dawning of mankind
Will man be kind
Dawning of mankind
Will man be kind?
Will man find the way to a better day
Dawning of mankind
Will man be kind?
Will the human be humane
In fact, will any remain?
(Seem to have a problem trying to refrain)
Supposedly have the most intelligent brain
But, seem to be having trouble trying to refrain
Dawning of mankind
Can if find the kind that wants to be kind
During the dawning of mankind

LYRICS
Wait! Please don’t go
Please stick around for the show
Wait! I need to know
One more question before you go:
Will you be joining the chorus of the universe?
Sweet harmonies throughout the verse
Ahhhhhhhhhh
Wait! Please don’t go
Oh, I really need to know
Wait! Please don’t go
For you have not a single foe
One more question before you go:
Will you be joining the chorus of the universe?
Sweet harmonies throughout the verse
Ahhhhhhhhhh

Go on! Honk your horn! Honk! Honk!
Go on honk your horn if you support the war machine
Wanna hear something even more obscene?

Come on honk your horn in support of the American Dream
Come on honk your horn… tax the rich to feed the lean

Come on honk your horn in support! God save the Queen!
Come on honk your horn… from fresh air we must wean
Wanna hear something even more obscene?

LYRICS
Once we climb the mountain, it’s all downhill
Once we climb the mountain, it’s all downhill
Downhill
Still, until…
We gotta climb oh so high
Still, until…
We must get by
Let’s head to the sky
Once we climb the mountain, it’s all downhill
The sky opens up and dumps it’s rain
Dumps it’s reign
Let it fall over the fool
As we climb up, let the love shine down
Let the love be found
All downhill
Using freewill
All downhill
Using freewill
We’ll pray to do what’s right
You know it’s in sight
Let is rock and roll downhill
It’s all downhill
Let the rock roll
Let the rock roll downhill
And, we will instill
The will of living
And giving
Until the last drop
Giving non-stop

In this place in space
Given birth on Earth

So happy to arrive
Given birth on Earth
I don’t mind havin’ a mind

And we can arrive
We have arrived
Given birth on Earth
So glad
No reason to be sad

Think I can arrive

LYRICS
Why live like you’re barely alive
Why even bother to try?
Why not give it all you’ve got
Why not?
The saddest thing I’ve ever seen…
Is Shoudy sailing in a U-haul truck
What the %uck?
Life gets obscene
Know what I mean?
Don’t hesitate
Before it’s too late
Tempt fate
Go irate
Set ’em straight
Come on back, Jack!
The best crib to ad-lib
Music, dancin’ shakin’ the shack
Why live like you’re barely alive
Why even bother to try?
Why not give it all you’ve got
Why not?
