LYRICS
Raise my hands
I’d love to say
Thank you for the day
Praise the lands
Sound and sight
Thank you for the night
I’ll find my way
Left for right
Hear what you say
Don’t be so uptight

Raise my voice
Love to say
Thank you for the day
Phrase the choice
Found insight
All day and night

Raise my mind
Here to say
Thank you for the day
Come to find
Shinning light
Thank you for insight

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In the grand scheme
Are you pleasant or mean
Is your life obscene
Or living the dream?
Me, I’m just trying to glean
The intensity of serene
Having a good time
In the sublime
Cutting a deal in surreal
For real
For reel
In the broad scope
At the end of your rope
The slippery, sliding slope
Is without hope?
The intention of your direction
Could be a reflection
Of your intention

LYRICS
Goal of the goal
Dues do take a toll
Here to say
On my way
Ready to rock n’ roll

Roll the dice twice
Go on let ’em roll
Here to say
On my way
Ready to rock n’ roll

Watch the moon rise
In the dark of night
That’s when I surmise
All is alright!

Coversong originally made famous by Norman Greenbaum

A
When I die and they lay me to rest,
                D
Gonna go to the place that's best.
                   A
When they lay me down to die,
E                               A
Goin on up to the spirit in the sky.

A
Goin on up to the spirit in the sky.
                           D
That's where I'm gonna go, when I die.
                     A
When I die and they lay me to rest,
          E
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best.

Prepare yourself, you know it's a must,
Gotta have a friend in Jesus.
So you know that when you die,
It's gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky.

Never been a sinner, I've never sinned.
I've got a friend in Jesus.
So you know that when I die,
It's gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky.

LYRICS
It’s warm
The charm of warm within
Get hold
It’s cold out I’m told
The harsh reality
Of society
Given up on the ability
To offer pity
Is it far
Not to share
The air
Does water
Belong to every son and daughter
How rude
We won’t include the food
The insanity
In a world of plenty
At the source
Is there a scarce resource?

LYRICS
Does anybody know what year we’re in?
Feels like the 50’s all over again
Know what I mean
No vaccine
Race relations
On vacation
Does anybody know what year we’re in?
Feels like the 50’s all over again
People thinkin’ KKK’s OK
Political winkin’ “Another day”
Does anybody know what year we’re in?
Feels like the 50’s all over again
A president that advocates hate
Tainted with Christianity insanity
Feeling a little too much like Groundhog Day
Geeze, wouldn’t you say
We’ve found a better way?

LYRICS
If the POTUS
To the T
Is missing “we”
Is missing U
Us
I guess…
POS
SOS
POSsssss
(make like a snake)
I understand
United we stand
Divided
We all fall
Butt
After all
If we espouse
The White House
Just another clown
Going to bring us down
Is there any surprise
With such a pack of lies?
Women In White SOTU 2019
And the ladies in white
Wear/where left of right is right
Shine on through the night
Arose to the fight
Say — USA

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about the State Of The Union (SOTU) address of February 5, 2019.

LYRICS
Best old friends
Get forgotten
If the old friends
Have been turning rotten
I’m thinking
It’s time to move along
Start shrinking
All that’s gone wrong

I see hate and bigotry
Will never get the best of me
I’m thinking
It’s time to move along
Start shrinking
All that’s gone wrong

Understand
North of the Rio Grande
If there’s a kind man
That walks the land
Here! Hear!
It’s time to hear
Dismissing of all you fear
Wake up
And make a stand
Rise Up
And make it clear

LYRICS
Gravitated
Escalated
Elevated
Is the old gizzard
A wizard?
Confused over “muse”
Faster to become master
Can’t outlast Her
Turn the page
Less muse
More sage
Out last
The past
Forge forward
Onward
Upward
Try for “sky high”
I
Sky high I

LYRICS
Are the races
In good graces?
Oh so much strife
In a child’s life
Do the people
Cause a cripple
Oh why the stifle
Of the life-cycle
Wake from slumber
Days are numbered
No matter your “whether”
Come together

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about the 10,000 missing migrant children held captive by the Trump administration.

Immigrant advocates said they are suing the U.S. government, claiming it is detaining immigrant children too long and improperly refusing to release them to relatives. A federal lawsuit filed last year in Alexandria, Virginia, was expanded on to propose including the cases of more than 10,000 children.

LYRICS
We are not jewelry!
This is not satire
Your attire
A guitar is a star
Not a fashion statement
No! Not jewelry!
Now you see

Believe me
We are not jewelry
If you suppose, while you pose
For “good”ness sake… no fake!
Can you hear it?
The spirit

LYRICS
Hard to believe
It’s hard to conceive
That far outside
The ride
You’re in
Where to begin
How to unhide?
Inside your hide
Where “you” reside
Is where the answers lie
Be kind to your mind
It’s easy to find
About letting it out
All about
Got to let it out

LYRICS
What did you say?
“It’s a matter of pay”
Is that the game we play?
Hey, hey, hey! Nay.
The invincible
Matter of principle
It’s not a matter of wealth
Rather: “Could I live with myself?”

Don’t think I would lipsync
No, don’t suppose I’d pose
… No, don’t suppose I’d pose
Anyway, not for pay
Are we all about the sellout
Pose for pay? No way!
The invincible
Matter of principle
It’s not a matter of wealth
Rather: “Could I live with myself?”

ABOUT THE SONG
This is a song about playing the halftime show at the Super Bowl without taking a knee.
You say, “Football is not suppose to be political?”
A: Racism isn’t suppose to be political. Why not take the racism out of football?

HEADLINE:
Roger Waters Asks Maroon 5 to ‘Take a Knee’ During Super Bowl

LYRICS
Do you know what’s going on
On the stage
Outside your cage
Maybe, then, the moment’s right
To start and put up a fight
Open up your door
Get out and explore more
After all, what are you afraid of
Some sort-of love
Coming in from above
Beware of the loon, baboon, maroon
Aware justification’s coming soon
Is your heart in the right place
Putting a smile on your face
Get ahead of the pace
Running with the human race
