LYRICS
Sometime in the summertime
Deep in the summertime
Sometime deep in the summertime
It was deep
Got a clue
I was due
Ohh so sweeeet
But, oh soe deep
The deep summertime blue… s,s,s….
Sometime in the summertime
We would seep
Deep
Into the deep, deep blue
Summertime hue

LYRICS

Pound a nail
Got to hang a picture
Another nail
Got another picture
Just in case
You want to see
Posterity

Scoop and bail
Or sink before we sail
Cry and wail
Won’t help to change the tale
Just in case
They want to see
Posterity

Please pinch me
A dose of reality
Please pinch me
Rouse from serenity
Just in case
I doubt my
Mortality

Suit them up
Strike up the band
We’ll lend out
A helping hand

LYRICS
Look around
Oh, my…
Everyone under the same sky
Look around
Then, why…
Blunder and plunder the last try?
Far off
Aloof
Living under the same roof
No, not alone
We all live in the same home
Get down to Earth!
For what it’s worth
Get down to Earth

Look around
Rat race
Everyone rush to the same place
Look around
Home base
Occupying the same space
Far off
Aloof
Living under the same roof
No, not alone
We all live in the same home
Get down to Earth!
For what it’s worth
Get down to Earth

LYRICS
Is Earth in space
Is the space between Earth
And every other place, space?
If so, I’d like to know
Why do we say:
The heavens and the Earth?
Isn’t every day
In the heavens
(Earth, Earth, Earth)
The heavens and…
The heavens-nauts
Have nots or heaven-nauts
Isn’t every day
In the heavens
Why not?
I’d love to know
Here we go
Heaven and Earth
Heaven in Earth
Sprouting birth
Sprouting forth
Birth

From the beginning
To the happy ever after ending
Until we meet again
Forever a friend
Together whether together

In the vain
Of one and the same
Post-modern slang
For ying and yang
Together whether together
Together weather together

[instrumental jam]

From the beginning
To the happy ever after ending
Universal message send:
Forever a friend
Together whether together
Together weather together

Ohhh the insanity
Working on the front lines
Of humanity
The slow death of empathy
Closed minds and land mines
Blown-up sanity
Ohhh goddamn our roles
Ohhh god save our souls
Open our eyes
Time to realize
Bodies are dropping like flies
Ohh the calamity
Volunteer from the rear
Wants to try n’ steer
Familiarity
With the dumb questions to ask
’cause my head is up my a$$

How long…
Until evil
Is out of control
Let’s oust the devil
From the starring role
The director is a dictator
A ruler imitator
Soul torturer

How long
’til intermission
Swan song
Climax transmission
The director is a dictator
A ruler imitator
Soul torturer

Bring it down
Let the curtain fall
Bring it down
End the facade ball
The director is a dictator
A ruler imitator
(Dick-tator)
Soul torturer

LYRICS
Mightier than a nuclear bomb
On your knees! You will succumb
Widow maker. To your tomb
Separate the smart from the dumb
Words are powerful
Shatter the silence
Once and for all
With no reluctance

Mightier than a locomotive
Uncovers your hidden motive
Flutters like a butterfly
Stings like a “be”
The wise will cut you down to size
Words are powerful
Shatter the silence
Once and for all
With no reluctance

Piercing they’ll penetrate
Blunt they’re a total affront
Irrational they’ll eradicate
Think before you try that stunt

LYRICS
One thing
… leads to another…
One thing
Something
Sum thing
See what the chaos theory
Will bring
The theory of chaos
Butterflies affecting us
(All of us)
The flapping of wings
See what change it brings
(Sings)
The theory of chaos
Unordered systems — glorious
There’s one thing for sure
Look at the big picture
(Pure)
The theory of chaos
The new anti-ridiculous
Each fractal special
Forces of nature wrestle
One thing
… leads to another…
One thing
Something
Sum thing

LYRICS
Inequity is dying
(And, I feel fine
I feel fine)
The bigots left crying
(And, I feel fine

There’s something in the air
That blows away despair
Finally getting somewhere
The world’s become aware
(Have you been out there?)

Fascism is dying
(And, I feel fine

The fascists left crying
(And, I feel fine

LYRICS
Living inside the bubble
Myself beside
Living inside
Their bubble
Nothing is normal at all
Hard to call a festival
Inside the bubble
Civilization devastation
Crumbled to rubble
Can anybody hear me mumble… grumble
Outside my bubble?
Can’t sense the real world
There is no talk or told
… just grab hold
Of growing old
Living inside the bubble

LYRICS
Just when I thought I saw everything
Look what they had left
Flood the streets
Let the levy spring
Our final freedom theft
Deft?
Ummm
Free-dumb
Ummm

Mamas and veterans hold back the flood
Over dead bodies and blood
With shock and awe and dropping jaw
I heard a mother say:
“No! Not this way.
No! Not today
Over my dead body.”
No. Nobody
Leave those kids alone
Free and brave
Save our own home
Hey! Lave those kids alone
Over flesh
Over bone
Deft?
Ummm… free-dum
None left.
Not right.
Just deft?
No right.
