Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As your skeleton’s glowing
Your brain is knowing
Should be concerning
Urgent. Burning.
Senseless consequences
Gnawing at the mind
I find… gnawing on the mind
If it matters,
They say
Resulting in the decay
Of our grey matter
Titter-tatter
Chitter-chatter
Can you hear?
Brain-eating-worm
In your ear
Can you hear
In your ear

Hey, Dear, please come here
Have you noticed something queer?
Disgrace to the human race

Hey, Dear, please come here
Have you heard things sound queer?
Disgrace to the human race
All over the place
Big bigots racing racists
To last place

Hey there are you aware
Now well smell in the air
Disgrace to the human race
All over the place

Hey there how about care
For anybody anywhere
Disgrace to the human race
All over the place
Big bigots racing racists
To last place

LYRICS
Isn’t it wonderful
Living to see the day
A world so bountiful
Today
Always
All ways tasteful
Now less wasteful

Isn’t it beautiful
Living to see the day
A world so plentiful
Today
Always
All ways hopefull
Now more mindful

Isn’t it emotional
Living to see the day
Love unconditional
Today
Always
All ways thoughtful
Nor more faithful
To humanity
You and me
We

LYRICS
If you want to play music on the street
Let the rhythm be your beat
Bo Diddly did what Bo Diddly did
Now you can dance ’round like some sort-a kid
If you’re looking for a summertime treat
Well, dance to the music on the summertime street
If you’re looking for some summertime heat
Then dance on the street to a summertime beat
Bow-tied Diddly till I die
Tie-died diddly paint the sky
Go Bo Diddly
Ain’t talkin’ squat
So why not?

LYRICS
Is it really hard to view
An other’s point-of-view
Though no matter what you do
It really isn’t you
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

Is it really hard to see
What’s in front of me
Is the question really
To be or not to be?
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

Have we all become so blind
To being one-of-a-kind
Unique is hard to find
When nothing comes to mind
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

What’s become of vision
I only see division
Truth or opinion
Our ultimate decision
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If you deem that life is mean
And you paint a bleaker scene
No cherry nor whipped cream
You must know what it means
To be swimming up stream
But if your life’s a dream
You’re floating with the stream

Treatment of a queen
Bring war to the serene
No desire to come clean
You must know what it means
To be swimming up stream
But if your life’s a dream
You’re floating with the stream

Bring blight to all that’s green
Bring rust to every sheen
Self-conscious as a tween
You must know what it means
To be swimming up stream
But if your life’s a dream
You’re floating with the stream

Thrown a curve… careen
Out-of-control fiend
Never part of the team
You must know what it means
To be swimming up stream
But if your life’s a dream
You’re floating with the stream

LYRICS
Play with the sounds
… ’til the sounds become sound
Engineer all you hear
Make use produce footloose
Tune-in agent fortune

The beat of the feet
Breakdown on the street
The sounds are found
… ’til the sounds become sound

Traffic stops
Top Of The Pops
Sounds go ’round
… ’til the sounds become sound

Tune-in an agent of fortune
… until the sounds become sound
Sounds go round ‘n round
Until the sounds become sound sound

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Just one minute
While I catch my breath
One more minute while I…
Catch my breath
Seems I’m running low on oxygen
Can we just start over again?

The homo sapiens are in despair
They have no more air to share
Cry in discontent “This isn’t fair!”

The institute of “Let’s pollute”
The lesson of “forbidden fruit”
To live and learn we refute
Arrogance and ignorance

Segregate our fade by shade
Despite us all being man-made
To do it again what would you trade
A little late to eat our fate

LYRICS
Do you bleed from a prick of a pin
Do you breath out then in
Did you begin at your beginning
All the same in the ending

When you bleed is it red
When you die are you dead
Did you begin at your beginning
… all the same in the ending

Do you wake up every day
And while your time away
Did you begin at your beginning
… all the same in the ending

Is time of the essence
Is justice held in the balance
Did you begin at your beginning
… all the same in the ending

LYRICS
I’ve got to admit it’s getting hard any more
You’ve got to admit it’s getting hard any more
We’ve got to admit it’s getting hard any more
Does anyone know what we’re fighting for
Is anybody even keeping the score

Does anyone know what we’re working for
No matter how hard you work you still get poor

Does anyone know what we have in store
Does anyone know who’s behind the door

Does anyone know what we’re standing for
To be reality or just more folklore

Does anyone know what we’re waiting for
If we wait any longer, we are where we were before

LYRICS
Funny how things work out
Karma kicks in
Sooner than later
About to kick in
Lover or hater?
Go ahead open the door
Already know what’s in store
What goes around
Comes around
Little Jack Horner got some more
Jack and Jill both fell down
Go ahead step outside
Unless there’s something to hide?
Sooner or later
The procrastinator
Comes to learn — it’s too late
Why wait for your fate?

bookmark_borderGone Fishing

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Not really one to go fishing
For a compliment at “the sure”
And, though I wasn’t wishing
Yours walked through the door
Not to be hanging
Any more

When your smile walked my way
Parted the clouds, making my day
The simple gesture of saying “You’re great!”
If I was fishing, no need for bait
Blessed
With lucky fate

A simple act of kindness
Can change the course of things
Instead of love blindness
Bring strings that make hearts sing
Words
On which to cling

With the words you choose to say
Abandon the fight, instead unite
We can band together and play
Gather round what is right
Change
The day

LYRICS
Got to find the light
It’s not a given
The insight of sight
It’s a living heaven
Seek out the light
It is insight
In sight
No one knows
In the shadows
How the light shows
Or insight flows
Step out into the light
It’s all right, alright
Into the broad beam
Out of the narrows
Out of the shadows
In the flow of the stream
The broad beam
Given livin’ in heaven
The light of insight in sight
