LYRICS
If you’re feeling down
And you want to get high
Did you know
Just look me in the eye
Then close your “I”
And get ready to fly
Putting on a show
In your mind’s eye
Giving your vision a try
For sure, tell your worries bye-bye
Good-bye
Stimulation of imagination
Spirit nation elevation
Realization celebration
Stagnation deprivation
Creation illation
Flirtation elation
Hydration libation
Vexation cessation
Salvation gyration
Vocation vacation
Coloration demonstration
Stimulation of imagination
The left ain’t right
And the right’s left
(And, that ain’t right)
Vota-a-Rama
Enough drama
Vota-a-Rama drama

A song about senators pulling a vote-a-rama.
As Republicans push forward with repealing the Affordable Care Act, lawmakers are about to undertake a grueling Senate tradition: the vote-a-rama, a marathon of rapid-fire votes that is likely to stretch on for hours.
Yes, that’s really what it’s called. — New York Times
LYRICS
It’s hard to face the facts
When the facts lack
Or pull yourself up by the bootstraps
A barefoot kickback
Going to find the facts
Put an end to this fact flack
Get baby a new pair of shoes
Compassion’s for those that choose
Give me a break
There’s a lot at stake
When the POTUS turns fake
And the news — if only we knew
Now that I’m facing the facts
We elected a slack
In need of a boot to the ass
To show us worldly class
Back from fact finding
No need in reminding
Don’t ever, ever, ever let in
A con-man with thin skin
Give me a break
There’s a lot at stake
When the POTUS turns fake
And the news — if only we knew
Give me a break
There’s a lot at stake
When the POTUS turns fake
And the news — if only we knew

LYRICS
The fear
Of his smoke and mirror
I tire
Of the bold face liar
Bankruptcies
As far as the eye sees (the I’s see)
Oligarchists
Stealing money hands over fists
Took a full-time job
Taking money from the mob
Imagine this
Russian prostitute piss
What’s next
Off shore snakeoil drilling
Perplex
For sure, taxpayer billing
OH! Sob…
Dirty laundering with the Russian Mob
Now you
Make ‘merica squandering, again

LYRICS
One door will make you small
The other one will make you tall
Fly out the window
Up to the sky
Or maybe you’ll follow
The call of gravity… and fall
Command and choose a hand
You’ll come to understand
The wisdom of random
In our chaos kingdom
Or maybe you’ll swallow
The bliss of ignorance
One side will fix it all
The other drop the ball
One lives in shadow
The other blue sky
Belly ache n’ wallow
Or get it on the ball
After all

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

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.
LYRICS
Then the light
Like the dawn
And we all shine on
Then the light came on
Like the light of dawn
Through the night
’till dawn
Twilight
From dusk to dawn
And we all shine on
May your light shine on
LYRICS
Oh, what a year it’s been
When hell freezing over did begin
Polarization at the polls
Realization of whose hearts have holes
Oh, what a year it’s been
When hell freezing over did begin
Listen! (Hear the) screams of tortured souls
Heaven? Better forget such lofty goals
King of the rude and crude
Destroys our peaceful interlude
The pseud of the shrewd “dude”
Screwed by lewd attitude
Delusional… the delusion of all
Install the “Great America” fall
Encourage the brawl
Encourage the maul
Drop your jaw in appall
