Songwriting About Bucks County, PA Corruption
LYRICS
When the government
Wants to implement
Some sort of punishment
It’s time to vote
To take a toke
Time to invoke
A recall of ’em all
When a politician
Takes a position
Of persecution
It’s time to vote
To take a toke
Time to invoke
A recall of ’em all

LYRICS
The policeman, the judge… the mayor
Have it out for the butcher and the baker
The policeman, the judge… the mayor
Have it out for everyone even the candlestick maker
Bet you find that hard to believe
Sure you find that hard to believe
An eruption of corruption beyond imagination
Devastation to civilization beyond comprehension
Bet you find that hard to believe
Sure you find that hard to believe
You say you want another tie-dye day
Don’t want the feeling to ever go away
I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing
Now I’m working on something to say
Something to move us… change our way
I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing
I believe the day is today
That the false opinion can sway
I want to keep on giving
Sense I’m on the path to loving
I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing

While sitting in a field playing the guitar on the last day of the Stir Fry Music Festival, a fellow sitting next to me said, “I want to keep on going.”

LYRICS
There’s a fly in the ointment
Without an appointment
Does anybody anywhere even care
There’s a fly in the ointment
Without an appointment
Is anybody aware
There’s a guy holding office
That’s a public disgrace
Does anybody want to save face
Give a try grasping this
Human rights aren’t hit or miss
Let us create some space

Do you know where you are? Our solar system doesn’t really have a name, so it’s a trick question. The second closest solar system is a bit more than 4 light years away, has 3 stars and is called Alpha Centauri. The closest Alpha Centauri star to us is called Proxima Centauri.
LYRICS
chorus
There’s a movement of the people
You can not deny
Oh, my, my
And, it seems it’s starting to show
Tearing at the seams
As the people get into the know
You know what I mean?
Chorus
You dare not cross the line
Or, they’ll try to crack your spine
If you dare to raise a presence
The weight will crush ’till silence
Civil Unrest in the City of Brotherly Love
Chorus
Chorus reprise
There’s a movement toward a steeple
When the temple is the people
Try, try, try
ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was/is inspired by N.A. Poe of Philadelphia’s TV show the Panic Hour. Though Poe was not allowed on Federal Ground, his presence was the essence.
LYRICS
There was a time when time went tick tock
But, since… they’ve changed the meaning of clock
There was a time when Plymouth was a rock
Now freedom’s hogtied… gagged with a sock
Chorus
Can you really, really break free
And, freely be “me”
Can you wiggle into sanity
And, become totally
There was a time when they heard rhyme
But, since… they’ve changed the meaning of crime
There was a time when Goliath was giant
Now, wonder if you’re God’s client?
