bookmark_borderLook Both Ways

LYRICS
My Mama always said
Look both ways before crossing the road
Going through a phase where your head will explode

No need to run it over again
That roadkill is dead
That roadkill is dead
It’s such a sin
The indifference bred
The indifference bred

The bigger they are
The harder they fall
The taller they are
The further they fall

Fat cats in high places
Look away
Have nothing to say
Both sides of their mouths
On their two faces

Chorus

Look Both Ways.mp3

LYRICS
Ironic on a capitalist’s machine
Fueled by gasoline
Or an eclectic electric troll
Fueled on dirty coal
I guess you’ve gotta be a hypocrite
If you wanna be a wanna-be in politics

Gonna dig holes… run with moles
Publish ‘zines about the real scenes

If the hatred ceases
Among the puzzle pieces
Our own demons defeated
Pieces fall into place… puzzle completed

Gonna dig holes… run with moles
Publish ‘zines about the real scenes

Elmwood Park Zoo, Norristown, PA

LYRICS
We cordially invite you to the zoo
We invite you
To Sunday at the zoo
Come on and do what you wanna do
You know you want to
At the zoo

When you get there
Music fills the air
Are there vultures?
Yeah! For sure
Going to be zebras and a whole lot more
Not to mention Homo sapiens galore
Come on and do what you wanna do
At the zoo

I’m going to the zoo
Are you going, too
I’m going to the zoo
That’s what I really, really want to do
Come on and do what you wanna do
At the zoo

The Bald Eagle is looking regal
And you don’t want to miss
Reindeer at Christmas
Come on and do what you wanna do
At the zoo

Have you heard the herd
Seen the scene
There’s so much to touch
Come on and do what you wanna do
At the zoo

See ya later alligator!

LYRICS
If I had my druthers
We’d impact the others
Education solution

How we yearn to learn as we learn
We all learn

If I had my druthers
We’d impact the others
Education solution

Start a cycle like an icicle
In an icicle cycle
Ya know? How it will grow and grow
Ya know?
Even if I’m only a drip in time
I’m a drip in time
From solid to liquid to gas
As our time passes (past) (pass)

If I had my druthers
We’d impact the others
Education solution

LYRICS
The Empire Of Morons marches on
Stacked two dimensionally
They can’t see
If there was a leader, he’s a seceder
Now the followers follow the follower
As The Empire Of Morons marches on
… and on and on and on and on and….

The morons empire marches on
“We will never surrender!”
Says the head follower
“I will march until I die
Now stop asking why”
As The Empire Of Morons marches on
… and on and on and on and on and….

LYRICS
Is that all that you’ve got
To turn away and shake your head?
Then, can you explain “why not?”
Why are you complicit with the dread

I’ve a favor to ask of you
Deliver your heart
To a better view
Please let’s start
What we should do

Happiness we’ll pursue
Given life anew
Happiness will ensue
Given life anew
Happiness will pursue

LYRICS
I say, “Our train may be runaway.”
Maybe may be maybe

Rather lax
Rollin’ down the tracks
Ignorin’ all the facts
Getting ready to take our whacks

I hear the caboose is coming loose
And the engine’s still putting on juice
Casey Jones throwing fuel on the fire
No surprise how this’ll transpire

Did you hear me say our train is runaway?

LYRICS
Since swallowing the poison
I’ve come to the realization
It might be too late
Little debate
It might be too late

You may say to yourself, “This is my beautiful house. This is my beautiful wife.”
’til you’re forced at gunpoint to flee for your life
On the run… threatened with a knife

Won’t be long until you’re struck with martial law
Police state shock and awe
At any rate, you’ll know it’s too late

LYRICS
Let’s dig up a coal pit
And burn a bit
Our noose is tied right
13 kNots tied tight

What? What’s left of the fossils let’s turn to fuel
The folly of playing the Devil’s fool
Our noose is tied right
13 kNots tied tight

Tyrannosaurus Rex is perplexed
Wondering why our home we’ve wrecked
Our noose is tied right
13 kNots tied tight

If the dinosaurs were alive
I’m sure they’d be sore
Wondering why man is nature’s whore
Our noose is tied right
13 kNots tied tight

The flora has started blooming
With a fragrance dance
The fauna has started crooning
For a romance dance

Hear the Spring singing
Here the ring springing
Send the spirit soaring
’til the love’s pouring

As the buds start coming
They are leaving (leafing)
Babbling brook is flowing
Ocean going

We see that we’ll see
Our return to the sea
Not surprisingly
Seeing the sea is rising

To get back home, too!

Ya know… I had a lil’ hour about a drink a go

LYRICS
Good God!
Then the great God came down from the sky
And said, “Why?”
You’re takers not givers
You posers are losers

Time to act together
Get your act together

Somehow you have to figure out how
The time is now

Good God!
Great God in heaven
Had to come down and teach us a lesson
The great God came down… descended
Wondering why one species hasn’t blended
Had to be amended
A men did
Amen

We’re gathered here today before our Lord God because our behavior’s been too odd
Now, in a nod to sanity
I give you the Great Divinity
