LYRICS
Funny thing… once there was a king
He didn’t know a God damned thing
He’d say, “Why not bring on the onslaught?”
Then he’d say, “Why not? Yeah, why not?”
Funny thing… when the children sing
Their soul hatches then takes wing
They sing, “Why not five it all we got?”
The choir sings, “Why not? Yeah, why not?”
Funny thing… why doesn’t the king
Let go of everything and learn to sing
Finally the enlightenment he sought
Will be said, “He got. Yeah! We got!”

LYRICS
I think it’s time we had a talk with your mother
Unless you have some sort-of druther
I think it’s best if we had a talk with your mother
What’s she gonna think when she see’s this stink
“Jesus, not another”
Mamm, I don’t know if you know who I am
No need to slam
But you might want to have a confidential with your boy
’cause it seems in the pursuit of joy
He thought all the rest of us were just his toy
So please
Get him to cease
If I may say…
Being interrupted in such a rude way
I think it’s time we had a talk with your mother
I’m thinking she might be left in awe
Ahhhhh
I’m aweful sorry Ma
But, after all the awe
Your son has caused such dismay
So if I may
Go outside and play
If I may ask
Just spank his ass
That boy is out-of-control
He’s an outta control troll
LYRICS
The clouds are looking quite threatening
Obviously a storm approaching
Wouldn’t you have to say
The signs are as plain as day
Chorus
Dorthy why aren’t you in the fallout shelter
You ain’t in Kansas… more like Helter Skelter
In a land where you land at the bottom of the slide
Taking man’s best friend along for the ride
Toto, too? Total, too
The circulation of the wind
The severity of the blowin’
Storm tracker has it pinned
Storm warning’s been growin’
Wouldn’t ya have to say it’s as plain as day
Oz, Moses
Chorus
The clouds are looking quite threatening
Obvious a storm is brewing
A song inspired by global warming and extreme weather events.
We are not saying that the Earth’s temperature is just going to rise. In general, as energy is added to a system, the fluctuations in the system increase. So, we expect more storms, more droughts, more wildfires, more floods, more fluctuations of all kinds. What we are saying is that weather conditions will become more volatile due to the impact of humans. (Extreme Weather Events)
LYRICS
Can’t really tell if you have it in you
’till I see what it is you do
Can’t really tell if you really care
’till I see what it is you share
Consider it a dare
You can talk, you can talk with awe and shock
But when it comes to “thank” can you walk the plank
Chorus
You can fight, you can fight… but can you shed light on the slight
You can fight… can your might gain insight on the site?
LYRICS
Just when you thought your were gonna make a change
The whole world has become rearranged
Rearrange
[can’t just sit there and mumble and grumble]
Just when you thought your were gonna make a change
The whole world has become rearranged
Everything has ended up strange
Do you even know if it’s in your range
In your reign
It’s in your reign
It’s in your range
It just might start
Within your heart
Baby
Maybe
It’s time to start aiming for the heart
Maybe, baby?
LYRICS
[Loud crowd roar]
Well, lookie, lookie
Looks like we got ourselves a winner
Give this man a cigar
He ain’t no beginner
Ho telling how far
From being a sinner
He’s achieving some God-like status
High above the rest of us
Climbed the stairway to heaven
To begin on Earth all over again
[Loud crowd roar]
Well, lookie, lookie
Looks like we got ourselves a winner
Give the lady a Kewpie doll
She ain’t no beginner
So high should she fall
Back to being a sinner
She’s achieved some God-like status
Way above the rest of us
Climbed the ladder of success
“Damn the new glass floor! No more!”
Cursing the collapsing of the glass ceiling
Feeling she wished it as before
LYRICS
Who knows what?
For what it’s worth
Mother Earth
Who knows what?
For what it’s worth
Mother Earth
Thank you for this birth
Here on Earth
For certainly
I couldn’t see
This Earth without you
This is true
Thank you for making my dreams come true
For, there’s no where I’d rather be
Mother Earth
