Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’ve got to admit it’s getting hard any more
You’ve got to admit it’s getting hard any more
We’ve got to admit it’s getting hard any more
Does anyone know what we’re fighting for
Is anybody even keeping the score

Does anyone know what we’re working for
No matter how hard you work you still get poor

Does anyone know what we have in store
Does anyone know who’s behind the door

Does anyone know what we’re standing for
To be reality or just more folklore

Does anyone know what we’re waiting for
If we wait any longer, we are where we were before

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Funny how things work out
Karma kicks in
Sooner than later
About to kick in
Lover or hater?
Go ahead open the door
Already know what’s in store
What goes around
Comes around
Little Jack Horner got some more
Jack and Jill both fell down
Go ahead step outside
Unless there’s something to hide?
Sooner or later
The procrastinator
Comes to learn — it’s too late
Why wait for your fate?

bookmark_borderGone Fishing

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Not really one to go fishing
For a compliment at “the sure”
And, though I wasn’t wishing
Yours walked through the door
Not to be hanging
Any more

When your smile walked my way
Parted the clouds, making my day
The simple gesture of saying “You’re great!”
If I was fishing, no need for bait
Blessed
With lucky fate

A simple act of kindness
Can change the course of things
Instead of love blindness
Bring strings that make hearts sing
Words
On which to cling

With the words you choose to say
Abandon the fight, instead unite
We can band together and play
Gather round what is right
Change
The day

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Got to find the light
It’s not a given
The insight of sight
It’s a living heaven
Seek out the light
It is insight
In sight
No one knows
In the shadows
How the light shows
Or insight flows
Step out into the light
It’s all right, alright
Into the broad beam
Out of the narrows
Out of the shadows
In the flow of the stream
The broad beam
Given livin’ in heaven
The light of insight in sight

Lunar see
Lunacy
Here we come

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Though it sounds insane
You can’t pick your own name
It’s your mom and dad
Best they had
You can’t pick your own name

You can’t pick your mom and dad
Even if you’re the best they had
Just be glad
It’s your mom and dad
Store the mad and sad
Just be glad

Lewd, rude and crude
You can pick your attitude
Change your mood
Heart needs food
Improved my attitude

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Suspended disbelief
A miracle’s relief
Wherever the ocean wants to go
The ocean’s shore/sure to go
You know
Can’t you sea?
You can’t get blood from a stone
Better off being left alone
Fortune prone
Can’t we see
(Leave ’em be)
Suspended disbelief
A miracle’s relief
Traverse the girth of Earth
Chapter and verse a fortunate birth
Self-worth
Everyday’s a perfect gift
Why not perfect the lift
Length and width
Suspended disbelief
A miracle’s relief

LYRICS
I can BEARly believe it
No, cANT stand any more
The way you make a monkey
Out of me
Pilfer and rAPE the soul
ROBIN’ takes it’s toll
The way you make a monkey
Out of me

If you rolled out the barrel
We could have a lot more fun
Add a hamster and a squirrel
On a wheel… watch ’em run

hoDOGs and CATsup in a row
pASS refreshments for the show
Watching you make a monkey
Out of me
You can pick your friends
But don’t pick your seat
Standing room only
To witness this feat
Watching you make a monkey
Out of me

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m waiting for my heart to start
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead
Without a doubt the hardest part
Is waiting form my heart to start
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead
About to find out what it’s all about
Slipping on love fits like a glove
Slipping on love
I’m falling
Nature’s calling
I’m falling
… on love

Became aware — in need of air
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead
Without a doubt
Oxygen’s rare
Indeed in need
Of some air
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead

It doesn’t matter who you are
Would someone give me CPR
Mouth-to-mouth hasn’t worked so far
Defibrillator’s subpar
Without a doubt the hardest part
Is waiting form my heart to start
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead

Well, then…
Can I Get an “Amen”?
Have I got to say it again
Amen!
Who’s the cause of sufferin’?
A men
Who’s sin is going to do me in?
A men
Who does all the pollutin’?
A men
Who does all the shootin’?
A men
Who does all the beatin’?
A men
Who does all the cheatin’?
A men
I heard what you said
Please bow your head
Dear Lord,
Fell overboard
S.O.S.
We fools lost our souls
Hearts of holes
Save our souls
Well, then…
Can I Get an “Amen”?
Say it again
Amen!

Who would have thought
Someone like me
In the presence of one
Lovely
At the pearly gate
Lift the world’s weight
Thank God no more wait
Lift the world’s weight

Of weightless
Wait less

The same and one
As lovely

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The wait n’ see
Is gettin’ to me
Transparency
Of hypocrisy
Laissez-faire
Market place
Not so fair
Human race
Is it any surprise
When the masses arise
Institutional
Revolution all

Let it be
All set free
Tyranny Irony
Dare compare
Then and now
No one there
Can say how

Better be careful what we wish for
Might be something we can’t endure
But, when there’s a problem we can’t ignore
Going to fight for right… that’s for sure

LYRICS
All of a sudden
Everywhere
There’s angels
Before unnoticed
The crowd intermingles
And I don’t think anybody knows
Let alone which way the wind blows

All of a sudden
Starting to love
All these angels
A gift from above
Less oblivious
Than most of us
And I don’t think anybody knows
Let alone which way the wind blows

Heaven on Earth
Thankful for birth
For sure
The universal treasure
With most worth
And I don’t think anybody knows
Let alone which way the wind blows

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When a unicorn farting butterflies
Fails to surprise
I realize
Low and behold
The pot at the end of a rainbow
May not be full of gold
As I was told
It might take searching near and far
To find out where the facts are

When a pig that jigs
Takes off and flies
Fails to surprise
I realize

When a grieving mother
Breaks down and cries
Fails to surprise
I realize

When you give up “tries”
And all hope dies
Fails to surprise
I realize
Low and behold
The pot at the end of a rainbow
May not be full of gold
As I was told
It might take searching near and far
To find out where the facts are

All I could see were clouds in my coffee
Now, I can see more clearly
Now, I can see more clearly
