Should of been done long ago
Gm7                     C
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground

How can you run when you know?

Oui We

Posted on November 15, 2015November 15, 2015 by admin

Presented by The Beatless Sense Mongers

LYRICS
Q: Oui, we?
A: Yes. We are us…
No matter the country
Time humanity adjusts
Eagles Of Death Metal
Soaring high… peace for all
Raptor rapture… a religious nature
Not a single fool
Graduates from Mother Nature’s school
Humor and wit model
Love — the fundamental tool
Inclusive nation foundation
Built on solid rock
You want in? Just knock

“What I did, that evening
What she said, that evening
Fulfilling my hope
Headlong I go for glory… OK”
Nope. Run, run, run runaway!
We, oui. Oui, we.
Psycho killers are dangerous to us
If we become what we hate, it’s too late
Don’t wanna be a psycho killer, too
Nooooo, not me. How ’bout you?
We, oui!

Oui We.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Style: ExperiMental Music
Chords: [capo2] E Am / E E7 Am Am7 / B E
Rhythm: Mixed Latin Heavy Metal with some at 104 BPM
Recording: digital 1-track stereo

Inspired by the attack on Paris, France and the fans at an “Eagles Of Death Metal” concert. The song is about psycho killings. Individuals who murder are psycho. It’s not about beliefs, race or religion. You have to be nuts to murder someone.

Additional lyrics are from the Talking Heads’ song “Psycho Killer” (originally in French):
Ce que j’ai fait, ce soir-là
Ce qu’elle a dit, ce soir-là
Réalisant mon espoir
Je me lance vers la gloire… OK

LYRICS
Hey diddle diddle there’s a doll with a fiddle
And some cat playing the spoons
Sing, “Ring around the Rosie”
Singin’…
And we’ll all go round and round
Then we’ll all fall down

Little Boy Blue come blow your horn
Play Boogie Woogie Blues until the ‘morn
The sheeple are in the meddle
Politicians are all the scorn
Say, “Play the blues on your horn song”
Play all the day long
Say, “All the livelong day”

I Must Be In Heaven

I Must Be In Heaven.mp3

LYRICS
Am I in heaven
Without being dead
As these mortal thoughts
Penetrate my head

Chorus
The hypocrites so hypocritical
They’re gonna shut their own … (You’re letting us down)
Hypocrite equals political
Severely sadistical clown

Sign of the beckon
Nod — yes is said
No more “why nots”
Time freedom is fed

Am I in heaven
Do Overlords fail
Bureaucrat robot
Tiger eats it’s tail

Sigh… oh, the beckon
Nod — yes! We hail
No more brain rot
Freedom needs a wail!

Can You Hear The Alarm?

Posted on May 26, 2013May 26, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
What do you know that is good?
What are you going to do for food
In your neighborhood?

What is good that you know?
When it comes to knowledge
Where you gonna go?

Who’s your friend? Who’s your foe?
Who is driving the wedge
Between yes and no?

What is good that you know?
Gonna live by the sword…
Die by the plow?

Writing a Monsanto Protest Song in West Chester, PA

ABOUT THIS SONG
At one of my usual haunts for writing music, I had begun a songwriting session… when, a group of people started gathering around me. It appeared as though my “office” had become the site of a Monsanto protest.

So, I figured I’d write this song about it; however, I didn’t have a title. As I went to record the a video of the music, an alarm went off. It seemed to fit. Thus, the name of the song.

Swine Flew

Posted on April 10, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
The blue and red are flashing
Once again, the boar is at war
Some sort-of authority
Knowing what’s best for you and me

Chorus
With some militant might
God told ’em what’s right
When done with their theft
There’ll be nothing left

The have’s and not’s are clashing
Once again, the hog exploits the cog
Some sort-of authority
Knows what’s best for you and me

Chorus

All the glass ceilings smashing
New happening… the pig ain’t so big
No sort-of authority
Knows what’s best for you and me

Space Cowboy

Space Cowboy.mp3

Written and made famous by Steve Miller
This is a coversong inspired by the Downingtown Acoustic Meet Up of March 24, 2013.

Lyrics
I told you ’bout living in the U.S. of A.
Don’t you know that I’m a gangster of love
Let me tell you people that I found a new way
And I’m tired of all this talk about love
And the same old story with a new set of words
About the good and the bad and the poor
And the times keep on changin’
So I’m keepin’ on top
Of every fat cat who walks through my door

I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I was born on this rock
And I’ve been travelin’ through space
Since the moment I first realized
What all you fast talkin’ cats would do if you could
You know, I’m ready for the final surprise
There ain’t no way around it
Ain’t nothing to say
That’s gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
All the prayers and surveyors
Keep the whole place uptight
While it keeps on gettin’ darker outside

I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
The boys in the military shirts
I keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
And I don’t let my friends get hurt
All you back room schemers, small trip dreamers
Better find something new to say
Cause you’re the same old story
It’s the same old crime
And you got some heavy dues to pay

I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that
I’m a space cowboy
I’m sure you know where it’s at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Our Country Cause Of We

Our Country Cause Of We.mp3

LYRICS
Looking around me, I must confess…
I must confess
We’ve made a mess
Focusing to see, the giant mess…
A giant mess
We need address

Chorus
We’re clogging up and hogging up
’till we fail the test
We’re chocking up… lack of mopping up
’till the rest ain’t left

Asking around me, I try to digest
I try to digest
Why not the best?
Trying to see, why we digress
Why we digress
We could care less

And We All Bleed

Posted on March 12, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Prelude (recorded in the soundcheck)
What if I’ve just been the victim of the world’s greatest con
What if I’m just a victim of everything that’s gone wrong
And, we all bleed
When one of us is bleeding, we concede to bleed.

The Song
Have I just been the victim of the world’s greatest con?
All these people and politicians tell me nothing’s gone wrong?
That’s the wrong song!

Try to convince me
We’re not responsible?
Yes, you try to convince me
That we’re not responsible?
That’s most irresponsible

We’re responsible for all this trash
We’re responsible for all this mess
We’re responsible for all pollution
We’re responsible for institution
De-civilization

Maybe it’s time
We woke up and smell the coffee
Can you smell the coffee
Or, is it just me?

We’ve all got something wrong going on
Well, folks…
Look behind that curtain
It’s a hoax
The Wizard is you
Now, what’cha gonna do?

Have we just victimized ourselves of the greatest con
It’s all around
How it went wrong is now in song

Is it just me or do we have to take responsibility?

LYRICS
What’s up?
I wouldn’t take long

’cause long ain’t what we got
Your time is running short
… or, have you forgot
Ashes to ashes… return to dirt

What’s up?
I wouldn’t take long

Since your time is getting cut short
Try ‘en let it out as one long blurt
… or, make ’em tingle with a lil’ jingle
… move ’em along with an uplifting song

What’s up?
I wouldn’t take long

LYRICS
Here they come
Where will they fall
Deaf or dumb
Will they hear the call?

The harder they come
The harder their fall
The bigger they come
The bigger their fall

One by one
No matter how tall
No feeling… they’re numb
Did their brains all stall?

The bigger they come
The harder they fall
The bigger they come
The harder their fall

LYRICS
We’re moving… moving into the light
It feels right
We’re moving… moving into the light
It’s alright

No sense trying to fight the fight
Why go to war against war
No sense trying to slight with might
Might just find Self dead on the floor
Might as well banish all the blight
Can’t imagine life as a bore
Making others’ days bright with insight
Taking off on a spiritual tour

LYRICS
I found myself smack dab in the middle of a protest
Not exactly sure what it’s about
I find we always had… everything we need…
More or less
One thing’s for sure
These people want out

Lout out there… smell freedom in the air
Feel the movement of our moment
Hear the call for all
A taste of freedom is right there

With Love And Rage

Posted on November 22, 2011 by admin

The Song *With Love And Rage*

We’ve entered an age
In need of our sage
From the year nothing
Spring…
To be our savior
Bringing blankets to the shivering
Bringing food to those hungering
Medical attention to any needing aiding

We pray
Please don’t take that away
With love and rage
Occupy the savage age
X’s and O’s
The hero from year zero
