LYRICS
Put pick to string
And pluck that thing
(Pluck it! Go ahead and pluck it!)

Pluck it like there’s no tomorrow
(Pluck it! Go ahead and pluck it!)
Pluck the blues when in sorrow
(Pluck it! Go ahead and pluck it!)

Pluck it hard
Pluck it slow
Pluck it every way you know

If you’ve had a hard day trying to bring home pay
Pluck it! It feels good
If you’re not sure how long you’ll endure
Pluck it! You know you should
If you’ve no confidence in your essence
Pluck it! You know you could

LYRICS
If this is rock, then let’s roll
This modern music’s got no soul

Chorus
I wanna play the guitar
Stretch the sound so far
Dance like I’m Irish drinkin’ whiskey from a jar
Dance like we’re Irish drinkin’ whiskey from a jar

Grandma’s pace is takin’ it’s toll
Break out the rock n’ roll stroll

Chorus

For my soul to be whole
Gotta play that rock and roll

LYRICS
I don’t know if we can go
Dashing through the snow
I don’t have a horse
By the way, I don’t have a sleigh

The way the climate’s changing
From human’s re-arranging
It will be par for the course
If we can’t get snow to lay

Hey, hey, hey
Ho, ho, ho
Don’t know
If we’ll have snow

Will dreams of a white Christmas
Start to fade away
Those days I sure will miss
Oh God hear us pray

Hey, hey, hey
Ho, ho, ho
Don’t know
If we’ll have snow

LYRICS
The good Samaritan
Thinking he’s humane
But doesn’t grasp the stakes
And how utterly inane
Repeating the same mistakes
Again and again and again

The good Samaritan
Thinking he’s humane
Not considering consequences
Or how ultimately lame
Try on the circumstances
Applied to 1… 5… or 10

Then you’ll know when

After a mile in his shoes walked
Let your talk be talked
Until that time, please refrain
‘less your good deed be deemed inhumane

LYRICS
Integrity
There’s a responsibility
Can’t you see… integrity?

Fire!
In a crowded movie theater
Might cause some sort of panic
A stampede

I’m begging you please
Publish with integrity
As though your life depends upon it
Because it does
Once in a while
Might as well wise up

It’s not a matter of a brainstorm
More a matter of doing less harm

Integrity and the responsibility that come with integrity
I guess it comes down to me

Integrity comes with responsibility
As far as my eye can see

Integrity
Please keep up the integrity

If you’re gonna right
If you’re gonna write
Bring to sight
The right responsibility

Perhaps played as the fool

Damn right I’ll put up a fight

Just how long to be cruel
When it comes to the moral rule

LYRICS
Just keep telling yourself it’s not as hard as it seems
We can wake up and share (in) the dreams

The sun is rising high in the sky
Before the date gets too late
Open our eyes to realize

We won the prize
Open our eyes
We won the prize
Realize

Just keep telling the world what it is life really means
It’s much more than just kings and queens

Take it in a loving embrace
Leave no scars. Leave no trace.
Open our eyes to realize

We won the prize
Open our eyes
We won the prize
Realize

May humanity prosper in the human race

All digital if the analog’s kaput

Steadily seasoning melody
Creating sauce so thick

Roast a song
Tune it up, turn to ten
