LYRICS
On Tuesday evenings — a get together
Where I play in a rock-and-roll band
It’s inevitable one way or another
Gonna be a party of the grand stand

Meet up at the local pub
Make the girls shake their hips
After the show, embrace lips in lips
Been hit — the music club

God! I think I’m seeing stars
God! I think I’m hearing stars
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

LYRICS
If I get to the point
Where I’m no use to society
Please take pity
Release Mother of my burden

Life’s worth living
As long as I’m giving
Living in a luxury sweet

When I get to heaven
There’ll be plenty of work worth doing
So as long as my love is flowing
I want to keep on going

[grunt]
Don’t think forever a working grunt
’cause you’re working your way right to the front
If you think there’s enough room in heaven for everyone
Think again
But, with your heart and passion
You’ll be all the fashion walkin’ in

LYRICS
’cause there’s been more than one path beaten to heaven
Of your life is your lesson
There’s been more than one song sung
Consider your life just beginnin’

Foreboding sky approached
Clouds burst open like a water balloon
Soon the river rises
A baptism cleansing you

Don’t want to sell it
Don’t want to take it
A baptism will break ya
Of that habit

Bringing on the casting out of your demon

Cloud burst quench your thirst for salvation
Revitalization of imagination
Realization: your civilization

LYRICS
The rat
Wields the bat
And, thinks that’s that

Well, this cat is resilient
And, he doesn’t take can’t, don’t or won’t

The rat
Wields the bat
And, thinks that’s that
You’ve got to awake
You can’t just take, take, take

ABOUT
Capo 2
Played with a 5-string guitar (no G-string)
Keep index finger on A-5 string C# (for the most part)
F# variations with a beating beat

Written and recorded July 9, 2012 outside the Whitpain Township Police Department, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. The song is about a dangerous mental illness that some people in authority develop — the militant attitude. On two separate occasions Whitpain Township Police officers sent me to the hospital, not to mention a host of other atrocities. In neither incident was I charged with a crime. Why do some people get pleasure from inflicting pain?

The Day Part 2 .MP3 (free music download)
From the album The Beatless Sense Mongers 2012

I’ve known you a longtime
Until you call me, mine
I’ve known you a longtime
You’ve committed just about every crime

Now our co-sign is dying
No, no… you ain’t no friend of mine

You’ve done me wrong
I’m done singing that song
Ya know I prayed for the day
Now, I’m happy to say.
This is the day.
(Horray)

I’ve been putting
Putting in time
I’ve been trying
Trying!

On my spirit you love to dine
Making me wince… making me whine
Fo’ sure, ya know
Ya ain’t no friend of mine
Nooo, you ain’t no friend of mine

No, you ain’t no friend of mine

ABOUT THE SONG

I thought I would show you what I was talking about,
So, here it is kid….

You don’t want it all,
But, you don’t want it all,
To pass you by,
bye-bye.

Music is not about telling everyone else how you feel.
Music is about helping everyone else feel the way you feel.

Have you no sense of intimacy?

Music is about helping everyone feel what you are saying.

Do you remember when,
You asked me why all the Crayon’s,
In the Crayon box,
Looked the same as you?

After all,
Camouflage is a weird concept in space.

After all,
I’m just a person trying to express myself.
Why would you want to step on that?

Do you ever look outside of your self?
Do you ever look outside yourself?

It’s not that I’m the sickest puppy,
In the litter.

How do I know?
I looked in your blindspot.

What happens when you wait,
Until someone can’t wait,
To go to the bathroom?

Shit happens.

What if there was so much noise,
That nobody could hear my song?

Sometimes noise is a good camouflage.
Sometimes it is not.

I’m not that interested in how you fit into the game…
Rather, that you are a game piece.

Where do all those anarchists go?
That bookstore on South Street?

Oh, yes,
The Wooden Shoe.

Can you tell a Fox,
He swells like his own hole?

Ask Rupert Murdoch.

Have you no sense,
Of intimacy?

It’s funny,
When you try to stop,
A laughing-box from laughing.

Kleenex,
Or, tissue,
Who cares?
Will God bless you?

Doy you,
Yourself,
Know a genius,
When you look one,
In the I?

There are only so many people,
That hold a guitar…
Or, magnifying glass.

Chasing the string of a balloon.

There aren’t that many fish,
That can swim in the sea.
Shall I throw you back?

MP3 Trigger Finger ReMix 3

You put the finger….
On the trigger….
Don’t you figure….
Pulling the trigger….
Called for the grave digger….
It’s not a gun….
That makes life undone….

A pistol….
Does not control….
The aiming angle….
A rifle….
Does not spiral….
Out of control….

Only a human….
Can be inhumane….
A gun is not crazy….
Nor sane….

When only facts remain….
With the angels refrain….

Don’t blame it on the thumb….
Not the vertebrate….
On whether we’re predators….
Or pray….

It is our ability….
To recognize….
Our consciouses….
That makes murder….
Immoral….
Immoral for all….
Beings….

Be it the jawbone of an ass….
Or showers of Zyklon B gas….
Bullet, hatchet or guillotine….
Lethal injection to noose….
It takes a human on the loose…
It takes a human….
To make it obscene….

The being brings meaning….
The being brings meaning….
The being brings meaning….

The being brings meaning….

“White Death”….
…Simo Hayha….

…credited with 505 confirmed kills of Soviet soldiers….

…accomplished in fewer than 100 days at a time of year… with very short hours of daylight….

…He preferred to use iron sights….

…put a Finnish finish on a Russian Mosin-Nagant….

…highest recorded number of confirmed sniper kills in any major war….

…Fact not folklore….

…Fact a folk lure….

…dressed completely in white camouflage….

…kept snow in his mouth, so that the vapor of his breath would not give him away….

…No scope, no breath….

…No way….

… White Death….
… White Death….
… White Death….

… let us take a shot…
… at changing our age…
… and care a lot…
… about our damage…
… no mirage….
… let us kill kill…

we are the death of death….

ABOUT THE SONG
The song is a tongue-in-cheek analogy of the famous Finnish sniper that used a Russian Mison-Nagant riffle to kill Russians (becoming the most famous hidden sniper in history.) In the same fashion, what if we tried to kill killing? What if we became the death of death… by not having any humans kill other humans?

LYRICS
If you’re having one of those days
When you don’t know which way to go
You just don’t know

You know it’s true
You can count on my
We’ll see what we can do

Just give me a call
About anything at all
And, I’d be happy to lend a hand
To help understand
What the hell we’re doing
Why we want to ruin… everything

If you’re having one of those days
When you don’t know which way to go
You just don’t know

Well, I’m still standing
Some find it hard to believe
I’ve got an understanding with the Almighty
And, I fall to my knees
And, I try, try, try to please
I fall to my knees

She says, “Whatcha doing? Get up on your feet.
Get out on the street.
You do me no good when you’re there on the floor.
No, no more.
So, get on your feet.
Get on the street”

She doesn’t care if you’re discrete
She just wants you to shout out the beat

Cause I’m still standing after all I’ve been through
And, I’d be more than happy to help you
I’m still standing
I know it’s true
