LYRICS
Ohhhh…
The irony
In the hypocrisy
Arghhh…
It’s killing me
The destiny of stupidity
Please save me
The devistaty of conspiracy
Imploding bureaucracy
The taller their wall
The further their fall
After all
Comes tumbling down
Will they still be around?

LYRICS
Is that right?
You think a parasite
Might set it right?
Sounding crazy
Said the cuckoo wasp
Clearing hazy
Dead the garden pest

The Nemesis thesis
Putting together the pieces
Dung beetle and her feces
Feasting on the parasite species

LYRICS
What lies between your eyes
Should come as no surprise
Vicious venomous lies
Soon to realize
Vicious venomous lies
Sooner or later the investigator
Is gonna come ’round
Bound to be found
What slips between your lips
Is hard to come to grips
Vicious venomous lies
Soon to realize
Vicious venomous lies
What kind of mind is found
Embedded headed bound
Vicious venomous lies
Soon to realize
Vicious venomous lies

LYRICS
I don’t know, Son
Better check your gun
Can’t wear the holster no more
… better check it at the door
In order to bolster
Our atmosphere of fun
I don’t know, Son
Better check your gun
No need for bullets for sure
… better check it at the door
Ensure less regrets
No need for “on the run”
2nd Amendment under siege
Oh, Lord, help me please
Try n’ figure wants from needs
Oh, Lord, help us please

LYRICS
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
When at first I did arrive
They say when I became alive
Those were the days of freedom
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
With each day it did erode
With every flush of the commode
Insane! Down the drain with freedom
How come?
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
Now be careful what you say
We had better “walk this way”
Watching freedom fray… how come?
Freedom
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?
A little more every day
Slipping, slipping, slipping away
who let the freedom come undone?
Hum ditty, ditty dum
Hum, did he? Did he dumb?

LYRICS
This is a time
This is a place
The time is now
The place is here
To know the now
To hear the here
The time I’m
In… the race —
Earthling
Is the thing
… an earthling thing
Please don’t ask
“Take me to your leader”
Our leader is a bottom feeder
We have no meaning
For “intelligent being”
Despite my strife
* NO Intelligent Life *

LYRICS
Running the inane
Feeling the pain
Of a cold driving rain
In the face
Face-to-face
Is your point-of-view
Going to rat on you?
In the face
Face-to-face
Doe the opinion you spew
Splatter back on you
Running from sane
Embracing the pain
Of a lame membrane
(chorus)
Running in sane
Down pouring reign
Feel the pain of the cold bold insane
(chorus)

LYRICS
Where are you going
Aware… or not knowing?
Rabbit’s circle jump off track
Never looking back
Do you feel the coup
Of the loopity lou
Can you tell me where you’re going to?
Being a bleeder follow the leader
Stampede off a cliff
Hey! Lemmings, to be seceder
Gotta ask “what if?”
Bling lead the bling ain’t being kind
Need I remind
We gotta take a stance where we stand
Do you understand?

Flip your lid and fill ‘er up
No quid pro quo measuring cup
A deal’s a deal be it love or war
Hypocrisy will cut it no more
Wade into the spotlight
The colors fade
No shade of gray is white
Right can not trade
Gonna run
Or stick to your guns
Gonna fight
Or spread wings for flight
Done you did and that is that
Egg-on-face big fat cat
Choke it up… feed kitty
Owing dues sure ain’t pretty

LYRICS
Maybe by disguising the words I’m saying
They’ll be digesting as word playing:
In some far off distant land
They are praying
For a President
Gone mad
In some far out distant time
They can’t understand
Why so bad?
Maybe it was long, long ago
Does anybody (anyone) know?
World’s gone mime
The president of President dent
Head banging
Boom-a-ranging
Turned down
Frown
Sad
May I lend
“The End”

LYRICS
Yes, I’m having a ball
Aren’t we all?
’cause it runs the whole spectrum
Heave ho! And a bottle of rum
What do you do with a drunken sailor?
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
The most president public servant
Savant-less idiot-savant
Nooo… savant has not
His brilliance is in ignorance?
Redeeming quality?
… I can not see….
Being nothing in his being
It’s hard believing
Of his brain conceiving
Yes, I’m having a ball
Aren’t we all?
’cause it runs the whole spectrum
Heave ho! And a bottle of rum
What do you do with a drunken sailor?
Put him to bed with the Captain’s daughter*
Hit him in the head with leather n’ lead
Give us relief from the commander and chief
For I foresee mutiny!
As for you, do you, too?
You can count on me
It’s plain to see… in need of a mutiny
(If he walks the plank, it’s you I’ll thank.)
At The Ball (with a Drunken Sailor).mp3

One by one by one
Voices adding up
Too by too by too
Voices rising up
Three by three by three
The masses lining up
Four for four for more
The masses acting up
It’s the new sedition
The new sensation
It’s the knew sedition
Disruptive nation
Five by five by five
Voices come alive!
Six by six by six
A RESISTANCE! fix
Seven by seven by seven
Earth and heaven
Eight by eight by eight
Open up the gate!
It’s the new sedition
The new sensation
It’s the knew sedition
Disruptive nation
ABOUT THE SONG
A song inspired by Iran’s supreme leader and the protests of the “New Sedition”:
Supreme Leader Khamenei has blamed the protests on enemies of Iran. And, today, the commander of the elite Revolutionary Guard sent troops into three provinces to put down what he called the new sedition.
Iran’s supreme leader was in a supremely sarcastic mood Tuesday as he gave a speech to a sea of military officials. His target: Trump’s first foreign policy moves.
“We actually thank this new president! We thank him, because he made it easier for us to reveal the real face of the United States,” said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a transcript posted on his official website. “… Now, with everything he is doing — handcuffing a child as young as 5 at an airport — he is showing the reality of American human rights.”

LYRICS
That which lay before us
Lie no more
The scales of justice / just us
Heard roar
Herd roar
All of us
Which lay before
The scales of justice… just us
Skating, skating on the thin ice
Maybe, maybe should have thought twice
Icing, icing on the cake
Shaked and baked before you wake
Now the toll you took, they take
Naughty, naughty could have been nice
Skating, skating on the thin ice
Maybe, maybe should have thought twice
I tell no lie
I say, if you look at it this way
That which lay before us
Heard roar
Herd roar
All of us
Which lay before
The scales of justice… just us
The scales of justice
It’s just us
