bookmark_borderBegin Drinking Life In

Posted on by admin

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

Posted on by admin

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

Chords: Em Improv; 80 and various BPM

bookmark_borderOverrun

Posted on by admin

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

Chords: E slide to F# / E E7sus4 / G A E
Instrumentation: Vocals, Guitar, Loop Pedal, Keyboards

bookmark_borderStation ID

Posted on by admin

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?

Chords: D Bdim C / B D / c c# d Dm; 96 BPM

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
Ego

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!

Товсті кішки і великі перуки
Змагання свиней
Дзвінниці, іграшки на горищі
Густі злочини так хворі

bookmark_borderHow Does She Roll?

Posted on by admin

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

Posted on by admin

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

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

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

You’ll know what to do
What love brings your heart sings
Bringing out the angel in you

bookmark_borderWatching the Rape

Posted on by admin

A song about the world watching Russia commit crimes against humanity.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
— Martin Niemöller

LYRICS
Is this fiction turned factual
Really the actual
(Actually?!?!)
Are you just killing time
The humanity crime
Watching the rape
Bringing on your fate

Is this fiction turned factual
Really the actual
(Actually?!?!)
Are you just standing by
Watching innocence die
See it in your “I’s”
Comes as no surprise

Is this fiction turned factual
Really the actual
(Actually?!?!)
Are you just a witness
To your indifference
Watching your rape
Casting your fate
