LYRICS
One door will make you small
The other one will make you tall
Fly out the window
Up to the sky
Or maybe you’ll follow
The call of gravity… and fall
Command and choose a hand
You’ll come to understand
The wisdom of random
In our chaos kingdom
Or maybe you’ll swallow
The bliss of ignorance
One side will fix it all
The other drop the ball
One lives in shadow
The other blue sky
Belly ache n’ wallow
Or get it on the ball
After all

A song about chaos not being random (and the science of political science. ) “A dripping faucet seems random but when plotted… reveals an eerie order unexpected by conventional means.”
LYRICS
Wait a second?
I can’t wait a second
’cause I reckon
The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round
Leap a second
And before long
A second second
Thus this song
The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round
The spinoff of taking a spin off
You scoff?
Well, do you wanna get off?
’cause
The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round
It’s that mean solar time
Or UT1
Try to coordinate Universal time
Or UTC
And I for one can see
You won’t even give away
The time of day
No way
The Earth is slowing down
It’s been found
The Earth is slowing down
From going ’round
Screenshot of the UTC clock from www.time.gov during the leap second on December 31, 2016.
ABOUT THE SONG
Style: ExperiMental Music
Chords: E B E –> 7th fret and slide down to E
Recording: digital 8-track stereo recorded live
This song is about the Earth slowing down. Why is the Earth slowing down?
The Earth is slowing down and speeding up for many reasons. In general, the Earth is slowing down it’s rotation due to friction. The wind and the oceans and mountains, tides and gravity cause friction that slows an object in motion.
A leap second is a one-second adjustment that is occasionally applied to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in order to keep its time of day close to the mean solar time, or UT1. Without such a correction, time reckoned by Earth’s rotation drifts away from atomic time because of irregularities in the Earth’s rate of rotation. Since this system of correction was implemented in 1972, 27 leap seconds have been inserted, the most recent on December 31, 2016 at 23:59:60 UTC.
So, every once in a while humans travel a second forward in time. “Specifically, a positive leap second is inserted between second 23:59:59 of a chosen UTC calendar date (the last day of a month, usually June 30 or December 31) and second 00:00:00 of the following date.”
Why is the moon falling farther away from us?
The migration of the Moon away from the Earth is mainly due to the action of the Earth’s tides. The Moon is kept in orbit by the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on it, but the Moon also exerts a gravitational force on our planet and this causes the movement of the Earth’s oceans to form a tidal bulge.

Political science
Or better of silent?
Not nice
Dealing with the intolerant
Should remain silent
Open it… remove doubt
Rivals
As it riles
My mind
Being kind
Being to our kind, kind
Kind to the humankind
Ignorant to the intolerant?
If they only knew
They are the ignorant
The intolerant ignorant
The few intolerant
They are the intolerant few
With an intolerant view
Political science

I won + you won = won

Break the silence
A few things you need do…
Not be indifferent
To the intolerant
Not be indifferent

So that you are not ignorant
To you
To your intolerance
Ignorant of intolerance

The science of political science

LYRICS
You don’t have time?
You’re stuck in “I’m”
Viewed through the grime
Waste is a crime
Gonna while away the day? Hey?
Come out, play, join the foray
Be a tunesmith
Legend… a myth
Without or with
Added wordsmith
Gonna while away the day? Hey?
Come out, play, join the foray
Lend us your hand
Join with the band
Beyond the land
Souls understand
Gonna while away the day? Hey?
Come out, play, join the foray
LYRICS
Without your gravity
I can clearly see
I can see clearly
… fall by the way
Hey, hey, hey
By the wayside
Can’t really run
Can’t really hide
Falling away from the sun
My world’s come undone
Without your gravity
Lack of tether elasticity
My time’s been bide
My time’s been bye’d
Bye, bye, bye’d
Without your gravity
Hard to be
I can see clearly
Short term longevity
I spy…
Somebody’s watching…
Someone’s following…
Somebody’s spying on me
Let’s see what I can spy
I spy your spying eye!
Let’s see what I can spy
I spy your spyin’ lyin’ eye!
Cloak and dagger
Bond-ish swagger
We’re stirred
You’re shaken
From the lines you’ve blurred
You will awaken
The abortion of extortion
The collapse of your foundation
The execution of the solution
Humanity’s rejuvenation
LYRICS
Now, here’s a prescription
Take a dab and swab the suave
Upon the irritation
Get some pain eradication
Prescription for an elixir that’ll fix ‘er
Uh ha ahhhh
Now, here’s a prescription
Kill it and make it better
A simple solution
No side effects or reaction
Now, here’s a prescription
whatever ails ya forget ‘er
A simple soul-ution
Oozing satisfaction
LYRICS
Tried to tell ya
Tried to warn ya
Does it concern ya
Or can’t you hear?
Oh, Dear… I do fear….
Read my lips
We’re in deep $hits
Loose lips
Sinking ships
Oh, Dear… get me outta here
Look at the view
Do I know you
Tried to show you
Or can’t you see
Are you blind to all that is kind
It’s troubling me
Play more music
Heals the sick
Easily found
Spread the sound
Quick! More music
The Battle of Terra Firma (Awe)
Can you confirm? (Awe)
Is there cause for concern
Should I sound the alarm
They slash and burn
You could lose a leg
They slash and burn
You could lose an arm
On your knees and beg The Battle of Terra FIrma
They’re tearing up Terra Firma
With warmonger awe
They soil the soil
With the souls of men
Imagine how things could have been
If we could only “do over” again
They’ve ground the ground
Turned dust to dust
The scarcity of humanity
Till total terrestrial denial
No Earthling left to sing

LYRICS
He puts his pants on one leg at a time
Just like you
Pulls up one sock then the other one, too
Just like you
He even had to learn to tie his shoe
Just like you
You can be what you want to be
Just ask me
Practice doing what you want to do
Try and see
What you can do!
You can run the fastest race
You can go into outer space
Jump in the deep-end and learn to swim
Pic a sport and to onto win
Pick up a guitar and start to play
Give it a try… it’s the only way
LYRICS
But, still…
Distill ill will
Extract the mean-ing
Then, fill…
Instill the goodwill
In fact, the meaning
Before it’s too late
Only thing to hate is hate
Love to love the love
With grace from above
Love to love the love
Until…
We eliminate ill will
Eradicate the hate
… until all the hate we kill
Fire up our “still”
Create some goodwill
The ill will we’ll fill with goodwill
Coversong originally made famous by Eric Clapton

LYRICS
I don’t understand
Who’s in command
Of this ship?
Not trying to flip
Or be a dip-$hit
But butt but butt
Who’s in command
Of this ship
I don’t understand
Are you in a position to demand?
Please tell me
I can not see
Not trying to flip
Or be a dip-$hit
But butt but butt
Who’s in command
Of this ship
