LYRICS
The secret to life is living
The secret to living is life
It’s not much of a secret
When you’re six feet under… buried… dead
Maybe you were misgiven
Mistaken life for livin’
Embracing strife and grievin’
Save!
Go to the grave
With no regret
While above… wonder… varied… feed your head

LYRICS
What you think you see ….
Is that reality?
Basically
Your reality is killing me
Oh please save me
From your reality
Your reality
Is killing me
One is one
You can’t make it undone
Two is two, too
The definition is not up to you
After all….
Who is the biggest killer of us all
It’d be us by far
No need to fear
Of them reaching near
It would be us by far

LYRICS
Reading minds
Reading between the lines
Which kind want to be kind?
Read between the lines
One finds
Reading between the lines
They’re reading minds
Man’s maneuvers
Purveyors of slayers
Come on groovers
Come on players
Help maneuver the movers
And, say “hey!” to the slayers
Hey! Don’t slay
In essence, this isn’t rocket science
Reading minds
Reading between the lines

LYRICS
As the NOT’s in the climate tangle
Need to wrangle a new angle
As the NOT’s in the climate knot
The knot of the winds increase
Sustained winds that wouldn’t cease
Then, the rain came down all around
Until the ground was awash in a flood
Up to my eyeballs in gook, muck and mud
The have’s and the have not’s
All have knots
All have knot
All in knots
Over having “not”
All the world is a stage in The Damage Age
Force 12
Hurricane’s off the shelve
Starting out at 64 knot
Yet not
Done
Sure ain’t no whatnot
Better run
Yell, fella, “To the storm cellar!”
ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
C C# Cm C#m
A song about wind speeds (in knots) and human induced climate change.
“A universal scale of wind speed values — since the scale was originally nautical in nature, and that most wind reports at that time were in nautical miles per hour (or converted to them), these numerical values were given in knots. It was a progressive scale with the range of speed for Forces increasing as you go higher. Thus Force 1 is only 3 knots in range (1 kt – 3 kt), while the Force 11 is eight knots (56 kt – 63 kt) in range. So Force 12 [Hurricane] starts out at 64 knots (74 mph, 33 m/s).”

LYRICS
I had to hide my hide
Taking a ride
Hadda hide my hide
Taking a ride
On the flipside
The thing with the skin
Is wearing thin
The thing with the skin
Was wearing thin
Had to hide my hide
Now I’m taking a ride
On the flipside
The thing with the skin
Was wearing thin
So I said
It’s time to shed
I had to hide my hide
Now, I’m taking a ride
On the flipside

LYRICS
We must have planned it
Yes, had to plan it
To devastate our planet
Can’t make a mistake when it comes to devastate
What’s at stake United States?
Are we trying to annihilate
Why show all the hate?
Fossil fools setting on fire
Fossil fuels
Watching our demise transpire
Where are the wise
Please take us higher
Where logic rules
This tit for tat
Ain’t where it’s at

LYRICS
You should be freaking out
When you figure out
There’s cause for alarm
You shouldn’t be all calm
You should be freaking
Freaking and geeking
Tweak your freak
We’ve got baby rapers
Murderous rappers
Racial facials
Backstabbing dribbling siblings
Monster moms
An eruption of corruption from politicians
Dropping bombs
And so much more
Will we endure

If the door is shut just open it up
Open it up
If the window is closed, ya know
Open the window
If the door is shut open it up
If the door is shut open it up
Just turn the knob
It’s not a hard job
If you think the path is blocked
It’s not
The door’s unlocked
Just open it up
It’s not a mystery
Open it and see
Check it out
Open it up
Just… ya know
Open the window

LYRICS
If it’s a lie
Will you find out before you die
Just because it’s you, you, you
Believing it’s true
Do you think that’ll do?
Don’t need to be a sleuth
When the truth
Is obvious
To all of us
Logical to all
That are logical
Forget the fantasy of conspiracy
Conspiracies miscarry
The reality of responsibility is the destiny of your mortality
