LYRICS
Bleeding through
Beating true

Bleeding through… here
I can’t help but notice
The tear in your fear
Is bleeding through… here
I can’t help but say
In the foray
Of your hooray
The fray…
Shredded
Dreaded…
Is up to you
True.

Bleeding through
Bleeding hearts
Bleeding through
Hearts beat true
Bleeding through
Beating true

bookmark_borderAutonomous Zone

LYRICS
So, you’re fighting
’cause you say you want to be free
Sounds silly, quite literally
You’re already an autonomous zone
Thoughts completely on/of your own
Id’s ego is overblown
Time to own

You say you’re fighting
For your dreams to come true
So, you’re going to do
What you’re going to do
You’re already an autonomous zone
Thoughts completely on/of your own
Id’s ego is overblown
Time to own

You say you fight
Out of fear and spite
Step into the light
Of what’s right
Unite

LYRICS
Did we land in Afghanistan?

What happened to the land of the free
If you ask me
We need to save
The home of the brave
I do not understand…
Did we land in Afghanistan?

Is anybody really sure
Definitely not in Kansas anymore
That includes Toto, too
Not to mention me and you
Did we land in Afghanistan?

Ruled by a one man Taliban
Out to rape every man
Time to ban the President
Since he doesn’t represent
Did we land in Afghanistan?

LYRICS
What am I waiting for?
Already holding the door
More than ready, that’s for sure
Didn’t ya hear me all the times before?
Hard to believe, yet it’s true
All this time I’ve been waiting for you

I could see what’s in store
Said, “No more, no, no more!”
Held it steady… prayed I’d endure
Off to save our future
Hard to believe, yet it’s true
All this time I’ve been waiting for you

bookmark_borderWe’re Not Alone

LYRICS
A time to pick up sticks
A time to lay ’em down
A time to stack up bricks
A time to tear walls down
So much for “each to their own”
That whole thing was overblown
’cause you’re never really on your own
No. Fact of the matter —
We’re not alone

A time to learn the seeds
Appreciate the weeds
A time to earn the day
Appreciate the way
So much for “each to their own”
That whole thing was overblown
’cause you’re never really on your own
No. Fact of the matter —
We’re not alone

LYRICS
So, what?
You begged for it
So, what
You fought for it
But, in your pursuit
You forgot it
Forget?
Forgot it
Became a suit
Thought you knew it
Now the new “it”
(Knew it new “it” nitwit)
Foregone conclusion
The collusion
Illusion
Based on delusion
So, what?
You begged for it
So, what
You fought for it
But, in your pursuit
You forgot it
Forget?
Forgot it

If ever there was a time, it’s now
If ever there was a way, somehow
The ominous within us
In an omnipresent situation
Represent the present stimulation
Give it up
Or pack it up
For soul salvation

LYRICS
Why can’t we just love one another
Closer than a sister or a brother
When all come together
’cause you’ve got me singing
How I’m yearning
For your loving

If we could just love one another
Like they are your father or your mother
And all come together
’cause you’ve got me singing
How I’m yearning
For your loving

Shouldn’t we just love one another
Like they are your son or your daughter
We all come together
’cause you’ve got me singing
How I’m yearning
For your loving

LYRICS
Sitting here with you
Under a sky so blue
Oh, there’s nothing better to do
Right here before my eyes
I’ve come to realize
All my dreams are coming true

[twinkling piano interlude]

Sitting here lakeside
Wondering if I have died
Gone to heaven to reside
Right here before my eyes
I’ve come to realize
All my dreams are coming true

[another twinkling piano interlude]

bookmark_borderGone Home

LYRICS
Crumbling at the foundation
Woodworm in the attic
No relation in our nation
Getting too much static
Gone to find a new home
Roam till I’m not alone

Carpenter ants in the “would” rot
The “haves” eating the “have nots”
No windows, or doors, or floors
Just borders with devilish orders
Gone to find a new home
Roam till I’m not alone

Wet ’cause the roof is leaking
As the stock market’s peaking
There’s trouble from within
Don’t know where to begin
Gone to find a new home
Roam till I’m not alone

LYRICS
Establishment
Embezzlement
Our movement
Has become circumvent
Slight what we fight
Embody what we resent
Greed, envy, jealousy
Just won’t relent
Two-faced hypocrisy
We’ve come to represent
Can’t trust your president
Nor your revolution
What’s the solution?

LYRICS
Which direction
Towards resurrection
What’s up with going down?
Introspection
Mirror’s reflection
What’s up with going down?
Lord giving me the run-around
Says I’m mortality bound
Search for peace till she’s found
Angels will sing trumpets will sound
Take a deep breath
Let out a sigh
No need to worry
About why we die
Going to go up
And be a spirit
In the sky

LYRICS
Feeling so strange
Thoughts rearrange
Agent of change

The same ole same ole
Is getting old
See the shoulder
Growing cold
Feeling so strange

The rolling bolder
Gathers no moss
Before I grow older
And life’s a loss
Feeling so strange
Thoughts rearrange
Agent of change

Blah blah blah
Hogwashed jibberish
Excuse me
I guess we’ll have to wait and see
Wait and see

Swallowed whole
Into the depths
Of he bowels
Babies cry
Wolves howl
We’re all going to die
I say…
Just not today
