bookmark_borderThe Spoils of War

LYRICS
Looks like the spoils of your war
Have spoiled on your plate
Perhaps your eyes are bigger
Then the spoils you ate?
At any rate
You cast your die
Die is your fate

Looks like the spoils of your war
Have spoiled on your plate
Perhaps your eyes are bigger
Then the spoils you ate?
At any rate
You’re in too deep
To keep irate

Looks like the spoils of your war
Have spoiled on your plate
Perhaps your eyes are bigger
Then the spoils you ate?
At any rate
Cut off your nose
to spite your face
Lord knows
Human race disgrace

Take to the streets

LYRICS
The drums of war
Are growing louder
Chimpanzees
Thump their chests louder
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“No more war!”
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“War no more!”
Wars can cease
Ring in peace
May wars cease
Bring in peace

The guns of war
Are growing louder
Enemies
Keep dry powder
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“No more war!”
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“War no more!”
Wars can cease
Ring in peace
May wars cease
Bring in peace

The pain of war
Is crying louder
Chimpanzees
Could not be prouder
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“No more war!”
The offspring ring
Their bells and sing
“War no more!”
Wars can cease
Ring in peace
May wars cease
Bring in peace

Though my bags are packed
My engines on

If this is merely a near miss
And we get to walk away from this
At least now in our possession
Having learnt a lesson
Wake up!
Learn from my mistake
Can’t blame fate
Stay awake

If this is merely a close call

LYRICS
Shocked
Stunned
In disbelief
Gave up on good grief
Found dumbfounded
On the street
Same drummer
Same ‘ole beat
Information flow
In one ear, watch it go
Don’t know what you don’t know
In the wind watch it blow
Ohhhh…

Be bewildered
Shock and awe
Full of awful
Dazed
Confused
Processless
Can’t win to lose
Information flow
In one ear, watch it go
Don’t know what you don’t know
In the wind watch it blow
Ohhhh…

bookmark_borderCould You Feel Good?

LYRICS
If the world would go
The way it should
Would you feel good
Could you feel good?
Self–centeredness
Gumming up the works
While greediness
Is running up the jerks

If the world would go
The way it should
Would you feel good
Could you feel good?
The narcissists
Do the ego stroke
Extinctionists
Hope we all will croak

If the world would go
The way it should
Would you feel good
Could you feel good?
The nationalists
Taking a pride stride
The accomplices
Go along for the ride

If the world would go
The way it should
Would you feel good
Could you feel good?

LYRICS
If they won’t believe
What they can’t conceive
Maybe it’s better that way
They can’t comprehend
No, don’t understand
What it is what you say
Maybe it’s better that way
Well, bit my tongue
Battle of words
War is won/one

Can’t get their head ’round
Tongue tied and lips bound
It’s probably better that way
They can’t comprehend
No, don’t understand
What it is what you say
Maybe it’s better that way
Well, bit my tongue
Battle of words
War is won/one
