LYRICS
Does it matter what you do?
You bet your life each and every day
Does it matter what you say
In fact, each and every way
Does it matter whatcha don’t do?
You bet your life each and every day
Whenever possible make work play
In truth, each and every way

LYRICS
Is it fair to suggest you’re addicted to air?
Will you share… or afraid to go there?
Is it just to say that eating’s a must?
As you need to nourish flesh
Or else you’ll be a mess
If you don’t nourish
Your soul
It will take a toll…
Once you invoke your spirit
You’ll never want it to quit
Spirit addict

LYRICS
Once I was in love
With just one human being
Then after seeing
Wonder how monogamy won?
Would much rather
That love from above
Then to gather
Pain from a strain
Love for all
Everywhere
Not a stall
Became aware (become aware)

LYRICS
Don’t let the gravitational pull
Pull the wool
Over your eyes
Big bang!
Surprise
Now, here’s the thang
Though not quite in grasp of your fingers
It still lingers
The way Big Bang behaves…
Primordial gravitational waves
I mean, it’s worthy of a primal scream
Yeeha! Big bang!
ABOUT THIS SONG

LYRICS
If you don’t like what you’re hearin’
Would you rather be deaf?
Maybe you’re better off doin’
What you do best
Can you write a song?
How about do a dance?
If you could sing, that’d be just the thing
Sing, along

Wow!
I knew somehow
You’d come through
But, I couldn’t figure
Exactly, what you’d do
Ciao!

To the promised grandeur
Spectacularly, thank you

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!

LYRICS
Don’t ever question it
This is the sh%$! ?
The territory of the authority
Derogatory in authenticity
The gullibility of the citizenry
The obscurity of civility
The ingenuity of humanity
Offering salvation from damnation
