LYRICS
You, you rebel-rouser
You push buttons (Yes, you do)
More than life’s browser
Finger in the eye (I) of the gluttons
Yes, you, you rebel-rouser
Attempt to arouse
A fashion of compassion
Revolution revelation
Get people up to their ears
In up in arms
Until actualization of fears
Yields to concern for alarms

LYRICS
Where are the people?
Seeking refuge from the steeple
When will they realize?
See all the people
Seeking refuge under steeple?
It’s The End… surprise!
Will we rise
To the occasion?
Immortalize
Homo sapien?
7 plus billion
Earthling refugees
Trying to flea.
Plight — oblivion
Obviously,
Caused by you and me… we
Will we see
Our self-destruction?
Can we be?
Humanity surrection

LYRICS
All filled up with gumption
Humane presumption
Well then give it a go
Let the energy flow
Do unto others?
Betrayed by Brothers
Can’t claim they don’t know
Jihad’s God’s foe
The Bible… Torah, too
And, again in the Quran
Thou shalt not kill
Another’s freewill
[Under direct order not to murder]

LYRICS
Look! Everything’s coming up roses
Looking through my rose-colored glasses
One supposes
Even the politicians don’t appear as asses
No such luck
They’re still looking dumb as….
Still
An optimistic perception
Will
Give rise to immaculate conception
’cause Holy $hit… that’s it!
Time to birth an idea with worth
Look! Everything’s coming up roses
Looking through my rose-colored glasses
The roses are read
Pessimism’s dead

How Tall Can a Lego Tower Be Before It Crushes Itself? .mp3
ABOUT THE SONG
C Dm Eb
C Cm
Inspired by a news story. The BBC reported, “It’s not just children who like to build towers with Lego – the internet is alive with discussion on how many Lego bricks, stacked one on top of the other, it would take to destroy the bottom brick. So what’s the answer? ” The article goes on to say, “Safety glasses on, the engineers begin to nervously edge towards the door.
“We’re setting it up automatically, so that we can all back out of the room, so none of us is in range when the thing goes bang,” Johnston explains – positioned, I notice, slightly behind me.”
“The force climbs on, above 4,000N. And then… Nothing. Well, not much. There is no big bang. The brick just kind of melts. ”
“So – how many Lego bricks, stacked one on top of the other, would it take to destroy the bottom brick?
375,000 bricks towering 3.5km (2.17 miles) high is what it would take to break a Lego brick.
That’s taller than the highest mountain in Spain. It’s significantly higher than Mount Olympus [tallest mountain in Greece]”
But could a 3.5km Lego tower really be built?
“There isn’t a chance you could do it in reality,” Johnston says. “Long before the brick fails, the tower would fail as a structure itself, by buckling.
Real life can be so disappointing sometimes.”

LYRICS
If you’re…
If you are wondering
Whether to go lower
Or get high
You’re taking the low road?
I’ll take the high road
Ya wanna take the low road?
Let’s take the high road
If you’re wondering
If you are pondering
If you’re in confusion
Keep living for giving
If you’re wondering
If you are pondering
If it’s illusion
Keep living for giving
Hate erode
Take the high road
Lovin’ mode
Take the high road
And, we’ll get to Scotland together
Live forever
Understand in the promised land
Hi! High road

LYRICS
First time, last time
What will it be
First time, last time
Set yourself free
Once you unlock your cage door
You’ll never go back to the way it was before
It’s not too late to push that gate
Why wait… push open that gate
Let your inside out
Find out no doubt
Don’t hesitate! Push open the gate!
Through the threshold — you
Let your inside out
Feel free to move about

LYRICS
Can’t you see there’s a need
Are you gonna make me plead
The time is ripe to concede
Love — everyone wants some
Don’t act dumb
Stick in your thumb
Pull out a plumb
And, let that guitar strum
Coo like a mourning dove
Want your love
Need your love
At any rate
Stick in your thumb
Pull out a plumb
And, lay the facts out straight
She loves me. She loves me not.
Want your love. Need your love.
She loves me. Glad that I’ve got.
Want your love. Need your love… Lucky for me… she loves me.
