bookmark_borderThe Road of Life

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
On life’s long, long road
Are we all growing old
Is it always “has been”
Or will we grow young again

Is your life half empty
Or is your life half full
Should I try to garner pity
Be the push or be the pull
Should I try to offer pity
Be the push or be the pull

On life’s long, long road
I’m on top the world
There’s still “what’s to be”
Left inside of me
Growing old at the same rate
Same rate just a different date
Relatively
I’m not aging
No, not me

LYRICS
Lucky #13
The clock strikes thirteen
If you know what I mean
Tick-tock
I am the clock
(You are the clock)
Tick-tock
Keeping my own time
I’m keeping my own time
I am the clock
If you know what I mean
Mean?
(I mean don’t be mean)
The clock strikes thirteen
Lucky #13
Stuck between 11 and 14
Lucky #13
All come clean
Lucky #13

bookmark_borderGod Bless You

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When I say “God bless you!”
It’s purely politeness
When I say “God bless you!”
It’s not cause you are a mess
Saying gesundheit
Just doesn’t sound right
And, it’s not that I have seen the light
Found religion nor give blind sight
(Though, if I could, I might)

When I say have a good day
It’s purely politeness
When I say have a good day
It’s not a power I posses
If I could, you know I would
Do my best to grant requests
Make every sky blue for you
… cause hope and prayers just won’t do

LYRICS
Know if you’re in power
It’s come to the hour
Of our
(Come to the our)
When all is said and done
All have lost
Or all have won
All one
Can’t be just mere ample
Must lead by example
Pure people
Singers, sing your song
Players, play along
Turning off to on
Sing-along
Sing a long
All have won
All one

LYRICS
You know it was just a joke
Don’t ya
Know that it was just a joke
You know I ain’t that kind of folk
Don’t ya
No, I’m not that kind of folk

Though I’m not bragging
I’ve had a fine upbringing
Don’t mistake my extravagant taste
As highfalutin waste
… in haste

I’m on my knees begging
For your understanding
Don’t mistake my extravagant taste
As highfalutin waste
… in haste

It might get mind boggling
As this is just the beginning
Don’t mistake my extravagant taste
As highfalutin waste
… in haste
… no ti’s much more than that
On the pedestal of the fat cat

bookmark_borderTo Die For

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What do we live for?
The right to die!
What do we die for?
The right to try!
And we learn as we grow older
The beauty is in the “I” of the beholder
On the road of wisdom
One learns
Fool with the bull
Get the horns
Once the fool
Grasp the bull
By the horns
Be born

bookmark_borderCurse of the Rich and Famous

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In between
The friction in your seams
Coming clean
No fiction in your genes
Born into poverty?
It could be worse
Oh the irony
It’s the rich with a curse

Fame’s misfortune
There’s no place to hide
Always searchin’
To die for suicide
Born into poverty?
It could be worse
Oh the irony
It’s the rich with a curse

Some little bastard
Comes at you hard
The son of a bitch
Eats the rich
Born into poverty?
It could be worse
Oh the irony
It’s the rich with a curse

bookmark_borderTo Feel Fine

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It takes grapes to make wine
While both depend on sunshine
It takes health for peace of mind
I need both to feel fine
Thankful that my fingers work
And the lyrics are a perk

It takes eight to make nine
While both depend on a sign
Takes self-wealth for peace of mind
I need both to feel fine
Thankful that my fingers work
And the lyrics are a perk

It takes two to fight
While neither one is right
Takes peace of mind for insight
I need both to see the light
Thankful that my fingers work
And the lyrics are a perk

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You, I’m wishing for you
When the skies are blue
May the sun shine down on you
And, if you say
My, it’s too dry
May rain be on the way
Good day
Good day

May the wind be at your back
May the wind fill your sail
Hope you never lack
Hope you never fail
Not lack or fail
And if you say
“Will my dreams come true?”
I’m wishing for you:
On the way
Good day
Good day
See you tomorrow
With no sorrow

LYRICS
In the thick of things
Synapse sings
Synchronicity brings
Heartbeat pings

For the love of man
Try to understand
The time is at hand

In the thick of things
Alarm bell rings
Serendipity brings
Heartbeat pings
(chorus)

Emotions are thick
Time to think quick
Choice is of the pick
Make the logic stick
(chorus)

LYRICS
Oh, please….
You know I ain’t lyin’
When the $hit hits the fan
It’s going to be flyin’
Well, here’s the scoop
Have you ever seen a chimpanzee
Flingin’ his poop
(Or are you out of the loop?)
Please no Limburger cheese
You know the smell of hell
My thesis on feces:
Stinkin’ to high heaven
Yeah, I’m thinkin’ stinkin’
To high heaven
(The stench is unforgivin’)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Brother from another mother
In one ear
And right out the other
Discover
How to be a lover
The rarity of the calamity
On the rich, take pity
Oh the irony of reality

Set free or together smother
In one ear and right out the other
Discover
How to be a lover

So if I were to have my druther
In both ears do/due right by an other
Discover
How to be a lover

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How did they throw me such a curve ball
How did I end up behind the 8-ball
Of all the gall
I’ve got to roll
When stuck between a hard place and a rock
Roll!
“Oh, #uck,” you scream
The rat race cleaned my clock
Roll!
Role of soul — roll!
End over end to begin
Can’t be fickle
’bout a perfect circle
Can’t resist
A subtle twist

LYRICS
Have I been here before
Would I come back for more
The memory escapes me
Carnage and gore
Who wants more war?
A rational from hell
Men striking their pose
Theater of war game
Men spreading their woes
Humane’s not the same
… gone insane
Mass hallucination nation

LYRICS
Seen it before
Hard to ignore
Right next door
Schism of the “ism”
Racism
Through a prism
You know
… the colors of the rainbow
Fascism
The Right do wrong
… same old song
Activism through altruism
Bridge the schism
Futurism in mesmerism
Lyricism of humanism
Bridge the schism
Criticism, dogmatism, egotism, hedonism, narcissism, pessimism
Gives way to optimism
Giving way to optimism
Opt in to optimism
Thick in optimistic
