LYRICS
You can get up if you’re down
On your feet and runnin’ round
Days too short to abort
Feet are prancing. Spirits dancing.

You can get up if you’re down
On your feet and runnin’ round
Don’t resort to selling short
Hearts romancing. Our souls dancing.

You can get up if you’re down
On your feet and runnin’ round
Put a smile on a baby’s face
Until the world is our dancing space

LYRICS
Why don’t you be like us
Learn how to spit and cuss
Throw loved ones under the bus
Why don’t you be like us
Full of pompous puss
The feat of conceit and fuss

Quick! Avoid the clique
As he clock goes tock… and tick

Why don’t you be like us
Vain pain of gorgeous
Drain of the ignoramus
Why don’t you be like us
Greedy for famous
Won’t listen or discuss

Quick! Avoid the clique
As he clock goes tock… and tick

LYRICS
Winds like a monsoon
Blowing through
Under a bad moon
Impacting you

For those that do not yield
Level the playing field

Truly a magnificent breeze
Not every day you feel one of these

Windy like a monsoon
Minds lie a baboon

Sheer sure could blow the man down
Replace the halo with a thorny crown

LYRICS
Get of bed!
The newsman said:
“There’s gotta be more than 50 dead”
Number of injured is more than a few
Death too could rise if they don’t pull through

When it doesn’t add up like it’s suppose to
(Then, what can you do?)

Massive militant moron mob to the right
An enormous ignorant left pick a fight
A census of us (U.S.)… counting all day and all of the night
A pollster’s nightmarish view
Will America’s will pull through?

When it doesn’t add up like it’s suppose to
(Then, what can you do?)

Love is coming
She’s on the wing

That which we seek

Onto our feet

Start up the chant
Utter the speech

Love is listening

Stepped out my door today
Now I’m on my way
Gonna sway in the foray

Headed into town
To see what light can be found
Alright! It’s shining down

Spread your array
Mirror reflect
You’re the display
Of intellect

Do you see humanity?

LYRICS
We’re in need of a super secret agent
Free us from the clutches of the moment
Save us from our self-destruction
Our institution of confusion

Some super-sleuth
TO uncover the truth
A super hero
To return to zero
Reset?
Not Yet!

Call the Whitehouse. Call the President.
Man or mouse strength be lent
Know what I mean
Ring up the Queen

Some super-sleuth
TO uncover the truth
A super hero
To return to zero
Reset?
You bet!

Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!

Can a color be ugly
Let’s look and see
Are your guts pretty
As pretty as can be

Have you ever looked within your skin
What are the tales of your entrails
Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!

How can you suggest
A color’s the ugliest
If you don’t mind
Being color blind
Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!

Look inside and see what you see
Are your guts pretty
As pretty as can be

Opaque Couché

The song is about a study of the ugliest color: “The agency GfK asked a thousand smokers which colour they found most visually offensive, with a view to covering cigarette packets with it. Pantone 448C, or opaque couché came out top. Respondents associated the colour with “dirty”, “death”, and “tar”.”  Well, before you call a color ugly, look at the color of your insides.

Give love a chance

LYRICS
Amazed at these days
In so many ways
These are the days that amaze
The day amazes
Amaze the days

In a daze?
These days amaze

As my fellows wallow in the shadows
Wandering… waiting… wasting… days
These are the days that amaze
I see
It amazes me
The notion “to be”

Only so many ways
To while away your days
’till ashes are ashes and dust is dust
Why “must”
Is that how you see your destiny
Is that how you IS turns to WAS

Is this the season…
Season of reason
Will the age of logic
Come on quick
Then, this is the dangerous part
Can we bring it from the heart

Is this the time
Of the greatest crime
Is this our
Dire hour
Then, this is the dangerous part
Can we bring it from the heart

Is this the moment
Of our judgement
Is this the day
Our dues we pay
Then, this is the dangerous part
Can we bring it from the heart
