LYRICS
Keep on moving
Keep improving
You know if you go too slow
You’ll likely seize and cease to go
Waiting for a guy “if he only had a brain”
Might be considered lame or insane
Ask a Tin Woodman… he’ll understand
Strike up the band (striking up the band)
If when has become then
Than we’re in the land of tinmen
Oooooil
Uncoil with oil
Loosen up and seize the day
Instead of the other way
Remain lost in the forest
Restrained in a sudden reign
Now we must bust free of the rust
Lust for a heart
As Dorothy can see
A new knew start

LYRICS
You know that I’m… gonna cross the chasm great and wide
You know the time… ford the ocean at low tide
Gotta climb that mountain to get to the other side
Oh, Mama… I’m crossing… I ride
You know that I’m… gonna cross this town in stride
You know the time… is well before you’ve died
Gotta bridge that gap. Certain. Won’t be denied.
Oh, Mama… I’m crossing… I ride
LYRICS
Chase your dreams
They will come
So it seems
And then some
There is a spider lady
That weaves her web
Catches dreams that are shady
Waiting for the dark to ebb
“Once the sun rises
All bad dreams just disappear”
Good thoughts all shapes and sizes
Will become ever clearer
(whispered “She’s Asibikaashi”
ABOUT THE SONG

Dreamcatchers originated with the Ojibwe people. The Ojibwe people have an ancient legend about the origin of the dreamcatcher. Storytellers speak of the Spider Woman, known as Asibikaashi; she took care of the children and the people on the land. Eventually, the Ojibwe Nation spread to the corners of North America and it became difficult for Asibikaashi to reach all the children. So the mothers and grandmothers would weave magical webs for the children, using willow hoops and sinew, or cordage made from plants. The dreamcatchers would filter out all bad dreams and only allow good thoughts to enter our mind. Once the sun rises, all bad dreams just disappear.

LYRICS
Is the world still turning
Is the sun still burning
Is it time to get on with it
Time to move on a bit?
… world still turning
… sun still burning
Unless we tame this trouble
The trouble is likely to double
Unless the human gets humble
Civilization’s likely to crumble
Our error on terror… terrible
The terror of our error incredible
Instead of our babble and mumble
Recognition of our stumble
LYRICS
Sound off,

Another killing spree
Sound off, 1, 2… Sound off, 3, 4… Sound off, 1, 2, 3, 4
Time to kill some more
Onward Jewish, onward Muslim, onward Christian soldiers
Marching, marching, marching as to war
“Ain’t no use in going home; Jody’s got your girl and gone. Ain’t no use in feeling blue; Jody’s got your sister, too. Ain’t no use in lookin’ back; Jody’s got your Cadillac…”
Add additional cadence calls as is appropriate for your audience. Call and response should reflect a similar satirical look at “hopelessness”, “suicide soldier” and “kamikaze” attitudes.
Inspired by 1) today’s War of the Religions of the Book (Judaism, Islamism, Christianity)
2) “Onward, Christian Soldiers”, a 19th-century English hymn. Onward, Christian Soldiers was written as a processional hymn for children walking from Horbury Bridge to Horbury St Peter’s Church near Wakefield, Yorkshire, at Whitsuntide in 1865. It was originally entitled, “Hymn for Procession with Cross and Banners.”
3) Military cadence — a traditional call-and-response work song sung by military personnel while running or marching. In the United States, these cadences are sometimes called jody calls or jodies, after Jody, a recurring character who figures in some traditional cadences.
LYRICS
Don’t you worry about your dancing shoes
No matter how ya hoof it you can’t loose
Dancing and singing the boogie woogie blues
How can you turn the page living in the digital age
Look out find music as your sage
True is what true is dancing the boogie woogie blues
You can’t loose with the boogie woogie blues
When Eden’s fruit falls from the tree
It doesn’t blemish… it doesn’t bruise
Oh, can’t you seeeeeee…
Listening and dancing the boogie woogie blues
LYRICS
Always living like it’s my last day
You know in some way
We’re all going to leave this rat race in dismay
Not slowly in pain I pray
Or too soon cutting in on my play
Any way…
Never know if it’s your last day
No need to wonder
We all end up six feet under
Wanna be a dread ’till dead
Push comes to shove I’d rather love
Keep the Reaper at bay
Gonna live to the fullest each and every day
What did Neil say?
Heard Old Neil talk about ‘er… thought I heard Neil say…
Better to burn out than fade away?
I hope Neil Young does remember… mankind needed him ’round anyway
LYRICS
It goes in one ear and right out the other
You growing tatters in there?
It goes in one ear and right out the other
Or, are you unaware
Do you even care
If it’s in error
It goes in one ear and right out the other
Hear what’s goin’ on here?
Sister, brother…
Friends and neighbors lend me an ear
It’s very clear
Truth’s drawing near
LYRICS
What do you know about that?
Sly fox writes the rules in the rabbit habitat
Chorus
As for man, do you know
What is our part (2) All if and but (3) If he even tries
In Mother Nature’s traveling sideshow
How far will we all go
Astray at heart (2) With glutton gut (3) With mesmerize eyes
In Mother Nature’s traveling sideshow
What do you know about that?
The King Of Beasts takes least compared to our feast
Chorus
What do you know about that?
The vulture only fine dines on the afterdeath of culture
This song was inspired by a fox living in the backyard, the rabbit that use to live in the backyard… and, a turkey vulture flying overhead. (We don’t have a lion. I just added that in for fun.)
LYRICS
Time to plug in
To what’s happenin’
Time to turn on
To what’s goin’ on
Time to tune in
Focus us… listen
Folks… us… reason
“Keymaster, I’ve forgotten the password”
Think faster… the word is my sword
Can’t fool Zuul?
The master of the Destructor distractor
Would you believe… there’s nothing up my sleeve
Wa-lah
Bring on the laughter
Haha
Slaughter with laughter
The word is my sword

Vinz Clortho the Keymaster of Gozer was a demi-god and loyal minion who obeys The Destructor, and possessed Louis Tully in Ghostbusters. Vinz is assumed to be male because it is known as the Keymaster, and possessed a male host instead of a female host. Also, it has noticeably longer horns than Zuul, the Gatekeeper, who is believed to be female. Vinz Clortho was worshipped by the Sumerians and Hittites in 6000 BC, alongside Zuul and their master.

LYRICS
Gonna meet ’em at the crossroads
Shadow forebodes
Takin’ the guitar
Crusade bizarre
Gonna see ’em… not gonna sell ’em
What will be the toll to keep my soul?
No matter our burden
No matter our loads
Soul’s not for sale
Nooooo, can not sell
Even if we ain’t Eden’s
… it surely beats hell
Gonna meet ’em at the crossroads
Not gonna give in
#uck Satan’s sin
There ain’t (no) concedin’
Plain enough… easy to tell
Even if we ain’t Eden’s
… it surely beats hell
If ya gotta wrestle the devil
Better wear a righteous cape
’cause when you’re messin’ with evil
Your soul might not escape
Still…
If we ain’t Eden’s,
… surely beats hell’s
Ascend from the Prince of Darkness
Confess hell is a mess
Rise up from the weasel conclave
No longer Beelzebub’s slave
