bookmark_borderLooking Out

LYRICS
Did you know that there’s a rainbow
Did you know…
It’s right outside your window
Have you ever thought
About looking out
Or have you bought
Into casting doubt?

Did you know that there’s a rainbow
Did you know…
It’s right outside your window
Have you ever sought
About finding out
Or have you bought
Into saying “not”

Did you know that there’s a rainbow
Did you know…
It’s right outside your window
Have you ever brought
About changing doubt
Did you shout out
What it’s about?

bookmark_borderWhat Makes You Think?

LYRICS
Is this the way it’s suppose to be
With what degree of certainty
What makes you think
We are doing the right thing
Watch shore/sure lines sink
Do you think pigs take wing?

Is this the way it’s suppose to be
With what degree of certainty
With chagrin
The same mistake again
Dash our last hope
Smokin’ free-dumb dope

Is this the way it’s suppose to be
With what degree of certainty
Stand and salute
Egos and vanity
Spew and pollute
Madness… insanity

bookmark_borderOdd-ometer

LYRICS
Deal with the hand I’m dealt
Lead with mind over felt
But those that go with their gut
… wish them the best of luck
Is your odd-ometer
Rolling over again?

Got real with he hand dealt
Made decisions heart felt
Though some may think it’s nuts
There’s no ifs, ands, nor buts
Is your odd-ometer
Rolling over again?
Thermometer of fever ragin’

LYRICS
What a remarkable time to live
An astounding time to be alive
The more you give
The more you thrive
Once you start
Giving from the heart
Bring power to our hour
With empathy
Bring might to what’s right
Through humanity

bookmark_borderTake to Took

LYRICS
When we’ve all got a problem with give
Then we’ve all got a problem with live
How much more can we take
No air left to share
Drinking water — beware
Until there’s none there
Can’t take fake

When we’ve all got a problem with give
Then we’ve all got a problem with live
How much more can we take
Said no-no to the dodo
And what about the rhino?
Come on Man! I don’t know
Can’t take fake

When we’ve all got a problem with give
Then we’ve all got a problem with live
How much more can we take
Took the glaciers (that’s for sure)
Hard to imagine what can endure
Take to took till there’s no more
Can’t take fake

bookmark_borderBegin Drinking Life In

LYRICS
The way the world is going
Makes you stop and think
I think you have it coming
To have another drink
Begin
Drinking life in

Can’t stop the world
From spinning ’round
Guess best being bold
… being found
Begin
Drinking life in

’cause the way the world is going
Makes me stop and think
I think you have it coming
To have another drink
Begin
Drinking life in

bookmark_borderOut Think Shrink

LYRICS
The seriousness of the situation
Is such…
If we keep turning the temperature up…
Much
Don’t you think
Our time will shrink?
With nothing to drink
Our… well…
You know…
Our thirst will grow
And it’s hard to get down
On the downbeat
With nothing to eat
No doubt a drought
As waste from our haste
Comes flooding in…
We begin
The End

bookmark_borderOverrun

LYRICS
Overrun by the rate of consumption
Wouldn’t be so bad if they’d just consume
But they presume
To excrete excrement
And won’t relent
Indeed they proceed
To excrete excrement
Extra-meant

The damned consumer demands
Then cries
About the source of supply
Cry, cry, cry
The demand be damned

Overrun by the rate of consumption
Wouldn’t be so bad if I’d just consume
But I presume
To excrete excrement
And won’t relent
Indeed I proceed
To excrete excrement
Extra-meant

bookmark_borderStation ID

LYRICS
Can you check to see which station
I dialed?
Don’t you think the sounds of things have
Gone wild?
Wildfires burning
While the seas are over churning
Glaciers receding
All of nature’s bleeding

Can you check to see which station
I dialed?
Don’t you think the sounds of things have
Gone wild?
Temperature’s soaring
Invading North — the boring
Ocean’s rising
Is it at all surprising?
Can you check to see which station
I dialed?
Don’t you think the sounds of things have
Gone wild?

Multitude of species dying
While politicians are lying
No one’s heeding
All of nature’s bleeding
Can you check to see which station
I dialed?
Don’t you think the sounds of things have
Gone wild?

LYRICS
3 crosses up on Calvary
Yet only 1 comes to memory?
All 3 going to meet their maker
The life giver… the life taker
Easy come
Easy go
All in sum/some
Ego

Poet, philosopher, and priest
All will die to say the least
All 3 going to meet their maker
The life giver… the life taker
Easy come
Easy go
All in sum/some
Ego

When the ship is going down
Doesn’t matter which deck you’re on
We all go to meet our maker
The life giver… the life taker
Easy come
Easy go
All in sum/some

Sertsebyttya
LYRICS
The jokers and the thieves
Misinformation deceives
The stokers fan the flames
No, it’s not a game
Playing with a heartbeat
(Have we no heart?)
Playing with a heartbeat
(It’s time we start)
Treat with a treat
Heartbeat
Say it once more:
Stop the war!

The fat cats and big wigs
Competition of pigs
Belfry bats, toys in attic
Thick crimes so sick
Playing with a heartbeat
(Have we no heart?)
Playing with a heartbeat
(It’s time we start)
Treat with a treat
Heartbeat
Say it once more:
Stop the war!

Густі злочини так хворі

bookmark_borderHow Does She Roll?

LYRICS
She’s centered in the middle
Yet still she leaves the riddle
How does she roll
Is there heart in her soul?
Solid as rock
The way she rolls

She’s really down to earth
But for what it’s worth
How does she roll
Is there heart in her soul?
Solid as rock
The way she rolls

She really gets around
Spinning round and round
How does she roll
Is there heart in her soul?
Solid as rock
The way she rolls

From our birth…
… humans…
The heart and soul
Of Mother Earth
Due to birth…
… Earth…
Giving birth
Earth

The way we roll with Mother Earth
Away we roll with Mother Earth

bookmark_borderBall and Chain

LYRICS
That ole ball and chain
Long as it remains
Going to weigh you down
That ole ball and chain
Causing grief and pain
Creates a terminal frown
They say there’s nothing that you can’t
With a lubricant
Do you have it in you
to slip on through
… slip on through

That ole ball and chain
Long as it remains
Going to weigh you down
That ole ball and chain
Hourglass… grain by grain
World stopped turning ’round
With a lubricant
Do you have it in you
to slip on through
… slip on through

That ole ball and chain
Long as it remains
Going to weigh you down
That ole ball and chain
Put ‘er on the last train
And upside down the frown
They say there’s nothing that you can’t
With a lubricant
Do you have it in you
to slip on through
… slip on through

LYRICS
Can’t stop thinking about you
Wondering what I can do
Won’t stop thinking of you
Until the light shines through
And even then
I’ll think of you, again

Is a crime
All this time
Our love has been buffering
Here we go
Into overflow
Hear we go
Into the flow
