Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Was given birth on an island
The third one from the sun
They call it Earth — my asylum
Long may our days run

As we travel round and round
How do we know if we’re upside down
As we spin round and round
Starting from where we’re bound

Came to Earth as an infant
Second son of a second son
Only know can, not can’t
Long may our days run

Chorus

Gonna leave when I die
No need to gasp. No need to sigh
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust
Hitchhiking to heaven or bust

LYRICS
Are you telling me this is reality
From what I see there’s a discrepancy

Get your elbows off the table
Where are your manners
This ain’t no epic fable
Take down your signs and banners

I’m not certain… is Tim Burton
Directing?
It’s geared for the sooo weird
Retrospecting

Close your mouth when you’re chewing
Where are your manners
I mean… what the hell are you doing
Have you gone bananas?

LYRICS
Fall off the horse
Drift off the course
Sing the wrong verse
Get back on
Try it again
Carry on
Begin again

Fall off the boat
Boat that won’t float
Play the wrong note
Get it on
Vibes arise
Turn it on
Win the prize

With “our”
There’s power
Mother Nature’s natural remedy
Music and a lil’ comedy

LYRICS
What happened to wizardry
Went the way of chivalry
Making civilization lame
Your try to tame
… in your efforts to tame
Just a savage will remain

Both sides… gone insane
Against the grain
In both directions
Satan’s resurrection

LYRICS
It won’t be that long now
’til we see reality
Hoping there is somehow
We can adapt quickly
Have you heard the scoop
On the feedback loop
Painstaking
Accelerating
Exasperating
Eliminating

A new day is dawning
For some The End… others anew
Light and darkness spawning
Giving birth. Which are you?

Chorus

On the flipside
There’s no place to hide
All your inside
Resides outside

Chorus

LYRICS
That change that is a coming
Seems to be the dumbing overcoming
I can see the dumbing the dumbing of America
From sea to shining sea
From Pennsylvania to California
Literally illiterate unfortunately
Agitate. Shake ’til irate
Mental masturbate
Hate bile regurgitation
Unfortunate you want to terminate

The dumbing that’s overcoming
Brain damaging mind numbing
I can see the dumbing of America
From the Redwood Forest to the New York Throughway
Radical. Evangelical. May God save ya
From America turning dumber day after day

I’m feeling one and the same
Are you feeling one and the same

One and the same

Thank God for letting me play the game
I’m feeling one and the same

Are you feeling to get into the game
Are you feeling one and the same

The starter’s gun
The time. It’s time to run
Did you hear the starter’s gun
Do you feel one and the same
It’s not too late to get in the game
Do you feel one and the same

After all, we’re all in the same game

When you grow old
Or so I’m told
Life throws a curve
And you lose your nerve

How unfair to lose your hair
How unkind to go blind

Your teeth fall out all about
Going deaf closet to death

Then get this… the onset of arthritis
Paralysis
Moans from broken bones
Osteoporosis

LYRICS
I’ll give you one guess
As to who created the mess
It wasn’t the birds
It wasn’t the bees
Wasn’t the monkeys
Swinging from the trees

I’ll give you one guess
As to who created the mess
Too late to warn
The bees swarm
Birds take flight
Out of fright
We’ve made a monkey
Out of me

I’ll give you one guess
As to who created the mess
One guess

Well, can’t you see
There ain’t no honey
The goose that lays the golden eggs is gone
At some point the light of insight will dawn

The proof
The proof is in the pudding

The proof is in the pudding
Are you kidding?
The proof is in the pudding
I’m not kidding

If you ask me
It’s a lil’ lumpy
If you ask me
It’s lumpy
The proof
The proof is in the pudding
Are you kidding

Did you notice at all
Your pudding did fall
How your pudding did fall
Now, the proof is in the pudding
Are you kidding
The proof is in the pudding
If you ask me, it’s a little lumpy
In fact, on its face
A national disgrace
Let’s make America great again?
Certainly, that some kind of chagrin
’cause that’s already happenin’

LYRICS
Looks like we blew a gasket
Not to mention a short circuit
Hard to get to heaven when you’re out bruisin’
Upside down King-of-the-hill is loosin’

Looks like we got a case of the basket
Want to be the first inside a casket
Hard to get to heaven when you’re out bruisin’
Upside down King-of-the-hill is loosin’

Looks like we got a loose screw, too
And… my, oh, my… a brick or two shy
Hard to get to heaven when you’re out bruisin’
Upside down King-of-the-hill is loosin’

Too many cooks in the kitchen
Fixing up bats in the belfry
Itchin’ for sanity
Itchin’ for some sanity

LYRICS
Don’t know if I can debate
A surreal nightmare of hate
A race and class war
I just can’t ignore
Who think it’s right to prove with might

A race and class war
With hatred spew galore
Who think it’s right to prove with might

A privileged pig will smile
If he can cause a rile
Who think it’s right to prove with might

When in reality the ill of society
Is your lack of responsibility
Feed on fear and greed
Watch a baby bleed

Living a life of delusion
In baffling confusion

LYRICS
It ain’t no spoof
When you’re flying through the roof
Oh soooo aloof

Find it hard to handle
When you’re flying off the handle
Hard to handle
Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Jack jump over the candle
Stick
Thick
As a brick
Am I alone
In thinking it’s solid bone?

No it ain’t no spoof
When you’re flying through the roof
Out of control
When you fly off the handle
So aloof
Then, you’re flying through the roof

Flying off the handle
Out of the frying pan
Into the fire
Just adding fuel to the fire
What’s the desire?
Do you know what I mean…
Throwing on the gasoline
Yelling burn, baby, burn
Watching babies burn
Only something for which a demon would yearn
A demon’s yearn
Do you know what that will earn?
Well… well, that earns hell!

No it ain’t no spoof
When you go flying through the roof
