LYRICS
Have you been bitten by a snake?
The way you shake….
Shake n’ stir
That’s for sure
Is that right
Snakebite?
What’s your stance
On the snakebite dance?
The way you shake
Don’t know how much I can take
Shake, rattlesnake, roll

LYRICS
What will man do in the name of the Lord?
What hell will man wreak in the name of God?
No matter how absurd
No matter how odd
No matter how forsaken
Granted, life is taken
Gather round humankind
For some kind
Of Ass embly
Can you tell the mule from the fool
Is the donkey me?
There’s a soldier in the grass
With a bullet in his ass
Take it out, take it out, like a good boy scout

LYRICS
I like crawling into spaces
I like making funny faces
You like sending out tracers
Attempts at erasers (erasures)
I like writing little songs
I like figuring right from wrong
You like acting too strong
Weighing down hard and long
Who knows maybe faces and song
Will help us all to get along
We could be twice as strong
And, save our human races
… leaving some traces

LYRICS
Fusion
Confusion
Solar energy
The sun
No matter our distortion
Can’t help the synergy
No matter our destruction
Devastation, eradication
Let the light shine
It’ll all be fine
Just let the light shine
We’ll all be fine
Fusion
Confusion
If the nuclear
Is not clear
You’ve got Fusion Confusion
The sun
Ra, ra, ra
God of the sun
Ray, ray, ray
Which either way you say
Ra, ra, ra
Ray, ray, ray
Whichever way you say
Ra, ra
Ray, ray
Golden
God
The Sun
Turning the plants on
To being green
The sun
If you know what I mean
(Their fill of chlorophyll)

LYRICS
Quite enough to hear a pin drop
Right before your bubbles pop
If it’s so loud you can’t hear yourself think
Do a mind meld and we’ll link
Let it be found…
You’ve become one with the sound
Quite enough to hear a pin drop
Right before ya blow your top
If you lead a horse to water and can’t make ’em drink
Give a smile, a hug… a wink
Let it be found…
You’ve come around

LYRICS
Basically alkaline
Basic alkaloid
Filling the void
Basic acid
Acidic
If I did acid…
Like vinegar
Alkaloid I’d…
Basically if I…
Basic basically
If I enclose and expose
Enclose
If I enclose and expose
In tight quarters
And, expose them to each other
Creating the void
Alkaloid, basically
How long would it be
Be… before
They explode
The motherload
Explode
Bass an alkaloid

LYRICS
Pardon me,
I hate to interrupt
But, ya see
Please turn the distortion up
With passing years
Escalation of fear
I want to hear
Through distorted ear
Our solution
De-evolution
Through pollution
The irony
Of the social tyranny
Is killing me
The way we inflict our will
Shouts out kill, kill, kill!

Just sitting here
Deserve nothing

… so go with the flow

Don’t ever question it
This is the sh%$! ?
The territory of the authority
Derogatory in authenticity

Offering salvation from damnation

LYRICS
Parting of the seas disease
Do you think you can command God
You’re the boss and She’s on the job?
Oh please,
Parting of the seas disease
Are you sure
You wanna F&$% with Mother nature?
Are you really that special
That you’re the cure-all (for all the ill that ails)
Or just a spiritual sleaze
With parting of the seas disease

LYRICS
What are you waiting for?
If you wait much more
They’ll likely realize
You’ll lose the element of surprise
What are you waiting for?
If you wait much more
You’ll have missed the moment to seize
So, pleeeeeeeeeease
What are you waiting for?
If you wait much more
An activist
Will have turned pacifist
Lack of action
Due to procrastination
