LYRICS
How could this be?
I can’t believe what I see
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t believe what I see
I am bleeding from my I’s
War, poverty, disease… no more please
Oh my goodness, dear
I fear what it is I hear
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t believe what I hear
It’s the politicians that I fear
War, poverty, disease… no more please
This social disease is beat
I’ve gotta get off my seat
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t let these events pass
I am bleeding from my…
But,
[The elected orifice officials chime in “but, but, but”]
War, poverty, disease… no more please
LYRICS
You want to talk about the bully?
The fact of the matter is… there is no bully
No Boogie Man
’cause there’s no such thing as the Boogie Man
No Boogie Man
Is he underneath your bed
Or is he just in your head
Gotta stand up
Is he underneath your bed
Or is he just in your head
You can make him dead
Be the bully of the Boogie Man
There ain’t no such thing as a bully
There ain’t no such thing as a Boogie Man
Don’t be afraid of the dark
Just be the spark
Set the world alight
Alright!
If you thought
Thought not
Been the victim of a bully?
I don’t suggest you become him
But, I’m… I am….
That you….
LYRICS
Should I go over there and ask her to dance
Take that chance?
Don’t want to come off as some jerk that wants to twerk
Why? I don’t want to be that guy
Want to be next to you in shinning armor
(Maybe even arm in arm… or….)
Should I take a chance and ask her to dance?
Not gonna hassle by asking to hustle
Not even to do the bump
(Might be going to far if we bump rumps)
Should I take a chance and ask her to dance?
Should I go over there and say do you care…
To dance
Would don’t need to slow dance
We don’t need to go that far
We can just get into our own space
And understand at most… just hold a hand
Should I take that chance
Go over there and ask her to dance
“Do you care to dance
I thought I saw you cast a glance
Would you care to dance?”
Should I go over there
(Instead of sitting here with a blank stare)
LYRICS
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey;
Along came a spider,
Who sat down beside her
And scared (frightened) Miss Muffet away.
Will the scales of justice balance
Society wails for balance existence

LYRICS
The world seems less wild
If you can crack a smile
The beasts turn more mild
Now let’s dance a while
And a 1 and a 2
Here’s a smile for you
Ya know… do the Do-si-do
And Skip to My Lou
Put your left foot in
Put your left foot out
Shout! Win-win
Do the hoochie coochie coo
LYRICS
Have you ever been the victim of corruption
And at a loss for what to do
Public corruption in the Justice institution
Consider it ironic? Consider it tainted, too
The police, attorneys and judge to name a few
It’s hard to believe these animals are running the zoo
At a loss for what to do
Have you ever been the victim of a public servant
No one can believe it’s true
The way they manipulate and circumvent
Attempting to leave no clue
The police, attorneys and judge to name a few
It’s hard to believe these animals are running the zoo
At a loss for what to do
LYRICS
Is that right?
I see a shimmering light
As though reflected from the rippling surface off the water of life
Don’t let the surface tension cause strife
Just go with the flow…? Even the water doesn’t know
It just babbles away
Listen to what you say
