LYRICS
What are you doing
Constantly putting
How can you eat your meet [sic]
If you’re messing with the pudding?

The time to act is upon us
Feel the vibe? It’s ominous
Track back re-act phenomenon
Retracing like a pendulum

What are you doing
Forgetting giving
How can you keep the beat
If you’re out of step with living

Chorus

What are we doing
Open eyes but not seeing (Open eyes but still sleeping)
Let’s feed the treat of greet
And meet in the age of loving

Chorus

LYRICS
On the checkered board, whose the manner’s lord
Are you his overseer? (or the panacea?)
Are you knight of the day? Believe in fair-play?
Sacrifice your queen (or come clean?)

The jester’s born into a crown of thorn
The subject’s scorn in a world that’s war-torn

What did we miss? Into the great abyss
When did we stray… so far, far, far away

As the pawn plods along oblivious his backup’s gone
Their bishop’s diagonal slide and you’ve no place to hide
Your castle is took… been rooked by the rook
A king without a throne in a kingdom all alone

LYRICS
With one eye on the rearview mirror
The other one fixed on you
I hate to be the barer
Of this alter-point-ov-view

Look back! Seize the fact — we bred terror
The little ones nixed by you
Debate whether in error?
No. That just won’t do

God bless America
Unlike ever before
Not like some circa
Biblical era whore

Go on and ask
Take ’em to task
Behind the mask
Reveal what’s real
Go ahead and ask
Take us to task
Do we all steal?
Reveal our deal

LYRICS
My eyes are blind… saw too much unkind
My ears are deaf… heard too much death
My lips can’t kiss… that taste is amiss
All that I smell… stinks of hell
(It stinks to high heaven again and again)

Becoming numb to the dumb

Mull how human’s calamity
Did dull my sensitivity
Don’t want to feel
What is real?
Wait! I want to feel what is real
Reach out and touch me
Your soul is lovely

Simply lovely

LYRICS
Created a monster in her image
Doesn’t she realize…
Life’s a scrimmage?

Terrorize

From living a life made of dream
Turned into a mean nightmare scream
Realize… you terrorize

Spreading hatred and deceit
Your demise will a sweet treat
Realize… you terrorize

Pray your crucifixion
Brings on resurrection
May your spell in hell
Be brief
Baptized for relief
Baptize I’s

If your day is turning gray
Here’s a ditty to help it turn pretty
And clear the clouds away

If your way has gone astray
Here’s a number to help you recover
And steer you from dismay

If the weight of the world is on your shoulder
Here’s some juice to help you feel stronger
And ensure you endure longer

Do your roots have the notion
Of how to shake the foundation

Let understanding be bred
No matter how long the haul

LYRICS
It’s not the size that matters
Which weighs (ways) more
… a pound of bricks or feathers
It’s not the gift but the thought that counts
Enjoy the thrift as the cost mounts

Waste not want not before it’s bought
Live in peace… no gore
From battles fought
It’s not the gift but the thought that counts
Enjoy the thrift as the cost mounts

It’s not hat size that matters
When all thoughts
… rip, torn… left in tatters
It’s not the gift but the thought that counts
Enjoy the thrift as the cost mounts

Your best is best regardless of the rest
When you give your all
We’re less likely to fall
It’s not the gift but the thought that counts
Enjoy the thrift as the cost mounts

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords – Capo 6

A Em
C A

Inspired by the ice bucket challenge. When a friend challenged me to the “ice bucket challenge”, I had mixed feelings. Initially, I was against the way this marketing ploy unfolded. On the other hand, my cousin died shortly after being diagnosed with ALS. Awareness is something I can support. So, I started thinking, “it’s the thought that counts… size doesn’t matter.” Then, I found the smallest bucket I could find, filled it with a cup of water and an ice cube.

LYRICS
Drop the ball. Drop the cup.
It’s the little things that really add up
When you get down to it
Intuit(ion) habit habitat
Once you’re on the ball
It’ll be no mystery at all

At the drop of a hat
If a fat cat sat
Don’t let it hurt a bit
Intuit(ion) habit habitat
Once you are on call
… no quagmire at all

LYRICS
Do you wonder if it’s too late now
Are you gonna save us somehow
… anyhow… somehow… anyway
Please say you’ll save the day
“Children go on… it’s safe to play”?

Did I miss the final curtain call
Is it over in the all-in-all
Please say we’ll have our say
Tomorrow will follow today

Do you wonder is there time to wonder
Did we stray too far off when we wander
Please shout out, “Hey, hey, hey!”
We’ll all live to see the day

Where upstream is down
Gettin’ a little heady
In a spiritual realm

Near the eye of the eddy
Jewel of the Queen’s crown
Way more than ready
With Her at the helm

Spinning round n’ round
Twirling round n’ round
Spiraling round n’ round

Play it straight or something special
Flex your musical muscle
Le Freak or do The Hustle

Flex your musical muscle
Smoke, lightning and wind wrestle
Flex your musical muscle
With heart we can surely nestle
Sex or hugs… you’re never too old
For rock n’ roll
Perplex the young with a song
