LYRICS
When are they gonna set the bail
It’s been too long within
Why is there even a trial
When I’ve done nothin’

The hypocrite throws a fit
That’s it just quit

Ya know I’d love to set sail
It’s time that they let me out
The real crime’s puttin’ me in jail
It’s enough to make a sane man shout

The hypocrite comes equipped
For your wings to be clipped

Into my coffin the final nail
No! Surely, I’ll be set free
Or to the hypocrite must I hail?
What happened to our democracy

ABOUT THE SONG
Style: ExperiMental Music
Chords: C Am / G Am
Recording: digital 1-track stereo / recorded live

A song written while sitting outside of District Court the day after St. Patrick’s Day… watching people going in and out for their arraignments.

LYRICS
If the puncture doesn’t cause a rupture
Try to capture a little bit of rapture
Juncture to the crossroads of the future
Then, we can play away
Live to see another day
As we all roam to our new home

If the pinprick unravels your bailiwick
Try to think quick what will do the trick
Lick the… kick the wicked out of the sick
Then, we can play away
Live to see another day
As we all roam to our new home

If the needle pierces your threshold
Then, you’ll need to loosen the chokehold
Indeed, ill needs to behold
Then, we can play away
Live to see another day
As we all roam to our new home

Polar Bear Starves to Death

LYRICS
Can’t you see his life’s in jeopardy
Can we bear to kill another bear
Should be aware of the cross we’ll bear
Bi-polar killing the polar bear

Who’s more mighty… we or he
Certainly our insanity
All the mighty lossin’ dignity
In their fight for me, me, me

First is past but last can’t be first
When the population bubble bursts

Coversong made famous by Five Man Electrical Band
Written by Les Emmerson

               C             G                                            D             G
And the sign said long haired, freaky people, need not apply.
         D                         A                                    G                               A
So, I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why?
      Bm                             G                                     Bm                            G
He said, you look like a fine, upstanding young man, I think you`ll do.
          D                                        A                              G                       A
So, I took off my hat...  I said, imagine that..huh, me, workin for you.

CHORUS:
D               C                                D                
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign, blocking out the scenery,
G
breaking my mind.
D                            A                                      C         D D7sus
Do this, don`t do that..can`t you read the si....gn?

#2.
               C                              G                               D                            G
And the sign said, anybody caught trespassing, would be shot on sight.
         D                                            A                                       G                 A
So, I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house..hey, what gives   you the right?..
    Bm                        G                              Bm                             G
to put up a fence to keep me out..or to keep mother nature in?
    D                                 A                                  G                                         A
If God was here, He`d tell you to your face, Man, you`re some kinda sinner.
CHORUS --> BRIDGE
          A
Now, hey you, mister, can`t you read?
              G                                     D
You`ve got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat.
A                                                                        Bm                                 D          
You can`t even watch, no, you can`t eat...  you ain`t supposed to be here.
C                     G                                           D                     G
Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside..unnh!

#3.
D            C              G                                            D                               G
And the sign said, everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray.
                          D                                                    A                  G                                        A    
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn`t have a penny to pay.
         Bm                            G                  Bm                                 G
So, I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign.
           D                                 A 
I said, thank you Lord, for thinking about me..
    G                            A
I`m alive and doing fine.

CHORUS / OUTRO:
D                C
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign..

ABOUT THE SONG
Style: ExperiMental Music
Recording: digital 4-track stereo

Inspired to cover this song on the day the Pope called-out Trump:
So the Pope jumped on the fence and yelled at the Donald,
“Hey! What gives you the right?”
“To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in”
“If God was here he’d tell you to your face, Man, you’re some kinda sinner”

LYRICS
… as we pass through here
As we’re passing through here
… through hear

Do you fear the atmosphere you hold so dear
Isn’t coming in clear
It’s not so clear

Do you hear the sphere we hold so dear
Is shedding a tear
Sheds a tear

The way we tear right through there
As we pass through here
The way we tear it up going through there
As we pass through here
