LYRICS
This is what you call
Hard ball
After all
You call your dutty your duty
Misrepresenting a fable
What you despise is your demise

This is what you call
Hard ball
After all
Get another plate
Of heaping, grubbing hate
No debate
When you’re irate

This is what you call
Hard ball
After all
West side of Church and Gay
Needs to find the way
Come to church today
For your getaway get away

This is what you call
Hard ball
After all
Scarecrow sings, “If I only had a brain”
Lord, have mercy… madman’s insane
Slippery slope… just loss in your gain
Yo, Boss, just loss in your gain
Again

LYRICS
What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America
No longer free to be brave
Is this any way to behave
Am I a public servant’s slave?

What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America
This town spent the 1st Amendment
Twisted the Constitution till bent
Now it doesn’t read the way it’s meant

What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America
They say you can’t say
They say you can’t play
Not any time… night or day

What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America
Reciting the Pledge is a crime
No Star Spangled Banner at any time
For you, County Seat, I’m cryin’
Over all of your cheatin’ and lyin’

What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America

LYRICS
Is that a painted body
Or clothes as thin as skin
Are you being naughty
Or living life with a grin?
I guess you all call this a win-win
Come on everybody
Let’s let our friends jump in

The way you move
The way you bend
Into the groove
Message we send
Exit exist
Eternal mortality bliss
Space-time continuum such as this
I’m in a space-time continuum
Immortal bliss

The sky will clear
Especially

You bet
Unleash

Or, better yet…
Come on out
Hear what I’m talking about

Cease the whine… forgiven pout

Let love reign on your drought

For love about to sprout

LYRICS
I’m not ready for your rapture
Are you sure?
I’m sure!
Wanna get me some more future
Noooo… I’m not ready for your rapture
Like a puncture
To my soul
When you try to capture
My rapture
’tis the devil’s goal
You puncture my soul
You rupture my rapture
Puncture my soul
The sole toll
Is the soul

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about “radical Christianist terrorists”. Imagine a group of radical Christians taking over the government and trying to bring on the Rapture (aka The Apocalypse) and the Second Coming.

A conspiracy of Evangelical Christians want to facilitate The End Of Times. They want: The Revival of the Roman Empire, The Emergence of the Antichrist, The Covenant with Israel, Three Periods Between the Rapture and the Second Coming, The War with Russia, and The Great Tribulation: Armageddon. They believe they will be “saved” when these events occur.

bookmark_border#1 Threat To Children (Melting Snowflakes)

LYRICS
Decide to get up, stand up
If you can’t stand for it
Climate change is killing our kids
And you continue denying it
A wind of fear start to blow
Thought they’d make the snowflakes melt
Instead, the snowflakes started to grow
Blizzard conditions are what they’re dealt
Blizzard conditions are what they felt
When a snowflake you try to melt
Blizzard conditions are what you’re dealt
Millions of pink hats all in a row
Millions of ping hats get up and go!

Decide to get up, stand up
Gotta demand it
No soul-ution for our pollution
Is to murder all creation
Millions of pink hats all in a row
Millions of ping hats get up and go!
Millions of pink hats all in a row
Millions of ping hats get up and go!

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about the number one cause of death to children worldwide, as well as, the number one threat to children in the United States of America — pollution. Donald Trump said the USA is going to bail on the Paris Treaty. On his first day in office, he removed all information on climate change and global warming from WhiteHouse.gov. This song is about saving the children and our children’s children.

This song was inspired by the hope in faith as demonstrated by the global protest “Women’s March On Washington”. It was the largest protest against a ruler in Earth’s history.

bookmark_borderTime Travel (aka Leap Second)

LYRICS
Wait a second?
I can’t wait a second
’cause I reckon
The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round

Leap a second
And before long
A second second
Thus this song
The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round

The spinoff of taking a spin off
You scoff?
Well, do you wanna get off?
’cause
The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round

It’s that mean solar time
Or UT1
Try to coordinate Universal time
Or UTC
And I for one can see
You won’t even give away
The time of day
No way

The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round

ABOUT THE SONG
Style: ExperiMental Music
Chords: E B E –> 7th fret and slide down to E
Recording: digital 8-track stereo recorded live

This song is about the Earth slowing down. Why is the Earth slowing down?
The Earth is slowing down and speeding up for many reasons. In general, the Earth is slowing down it’s rotation due to friction. The wind and the oceans and mountains, tides and gravity cause friction that slows an object in motion.

A leap second is a one-second adjustment that is occasionally applied to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in order to keep its time of day close to the mean solar time, or UT1. Without such a correction, time reckoned by Earth’s rotation drifts away from atomic time because of irregularities in the Earth’s rate of rotation. Since this system of correction was implemented in 1972, 27 leap seconds have been inserted, the most recent on December 31, 2016 at 23:59:60 UTC.

So, every once in a while humans travel a second forward in time. “Specifically, a positive leap second is inserted between second 23:59:59 of a chosen UTC calendar date (the last day of a month, usually June 30 or December 31) and second 00:00:00 of the following date.”

Why is the moon falling farther away from us?

The migration of the Moon away from the Earth is mainly due to the action of the Earth’s tides. The Moon is kept in orbit by the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on it, but the Moon also exerts a gravitational force on our planet and this causes the movement of the Earth’s oceans to form a tidal bulge.
