Integrity

Posted on November 19, 2014November 19, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Integrity
There’s a responsibility
Can’t you see… integrity?

Fire!
In a crowded movie theater
Might cause some sort of panic
A stampede

I’m begging you please
Publish with integrity
As though your life depends upon it
Because it does
Once in a while
Might as well wise up

It’s not a matter of a brainstorm
More a matter of doing less harm

Integrity and the responsibility that come with integrity
I guess it comes down to me

Integrity comes with responsibility
As far as my eye can see

Integrity
Please keep up the integrity

If you’re gonna right
If you’re gonna write
Bring to sight
The right responsibility

As A Mule

LYRICS
A mule
A mule
Do you think I am stubborn as…
A mule

Perhaps played as the fool
Maybe not the sharpest tool
But when it comes to wrong and right
Damn right I’ll put up a fight
Like an ass
I’ll be stubborn as…
A mule

A dog before food will drool
Just how long to be cruel
When it comes to the moral rule
I’m prepared for the final duel
Like an ass
I’ll be stubborn as…
A mule

Upbeat

Posted on November 18, 2014November 18, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Heading down upbeat street
Leaving *down* on the concrete
Heading down upbeat street
Uplifting any from defeat

Join in the parade
Humanity aid
The trick is not being a self righteous pig
While doing the happy dance jig

Down de do de do de
It’s my duty
Responsibility
Glee
The path to happy

Hoping we meet
On upbeat street
Hoping to meet
On upbeat street

Going To Pennsylvania

Posted on November 17, 2014November 19, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Just keep telling yourself it’s not as hard as it seems
We can wake up and share (in) the dreams

The sun is rising high in the sky
Before the date gets too late
Open our eyes to realize

We won the prize
Open our eyes
We won the prize
Realize

Just keep telling the world what it is life really means
It’s much more than just kings and queens

Take it in a loving embrace
Leave no scars. Leave no trace.
Open our eyes to realize

We won the prize
Open our eyes
We won the prize
Realize

May humanity prosper in the human race

On The Level

LYRICS
Am I on the level
Carpenter’s bevel
Smooooh… chisel

Not a guilt tilt
On the level
Not leaning to evil
Is the sound grounded

Can you hear me
Testing 1, 2, 3
On the level

Pores Pour

LYRICS
The sound pours through the pores
Infiltrating all cores
Not a sole soul
Left untouched
Until all hearts are clutched

Take it in
Bleed it out
Beauty as deep as the skin
’till there is no doubt

Not Over Overture

Posted on November 16, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
It ain’t over ’till it’s over
And it ain’t over yet
Please don’t forget
It ain’t over ’till the fat lady sings
Ya better move over
And a couple other things
For sure
The not over overture

Standing over a four leaf clover
It’s your lucky day
The show goes on and on and on
As long as you can endure
It’ll be the not over overture
Always a chuckle never a yawn
The show goes on and on and on

May you be blessed by Frey along the way

If you grow up, you’ll mature
If you want to play in the not over overture
Don’t blow your own horn
And, then bear the wrath and scorn
Instead play in the not over overture

Stay young as it’s sung
The not over overture

Basic Truth

Posted on November 15, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
The basic truth
You better cut it
When you get down to the nitty gritty
You hope all of us including you
Can get through

When you get down to the basic facts
Or is it a basic fact
There is only one simple, basic fact
If you’re dead you are dead
What more need be said?

When you’re dead you’re dead

Basic facts or basic fact
What every the case may be
If you’re probing me
I might have to step back to see
There’s only one basic fact
When you’re dead you’re dead
What more need be said?

It doesn’t matter what you say or do
If you want to get down to what is you
If you’re dead you’re dead

WHO

Posted on November 15, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Who am I
Who are you
Many facets

Turn on the faucet
And in the flow
We’ll come to know

Who am I
Who are you, too
Many facets
There’s at least two sides to this story
Maybe even a polygon allegory
Many facets
Turn on the faucet
And in the flow
We’ll come to know

Alice,
Bring your looking glass
Before the past goes pass

LYRICS
Put the male quarter inch
Into the female input
Sounds like a sound cinch
All digital if the analog’s kaput

Steadily seasoning melody
Creating sauce so thick
A special recipe
For cooking up music

Plug it in, turn it on
Roast a song
Tune it up, turn to ten
Won’t be long
’till we’re feastin’

Just In Time

Posted on November 14, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Just in time
Will it become just in time
Just in time

Can we find reason for rhyme
Just in time

A just and democratic society
When thugs that mug don’t gain notoriety
When humanity isn’t a rarity
When love equates to prosperity

Can we get there?
Behaving according to what is morally right and fair
Responsibility aware

Just in time
Will it become just in time
Just in time

Can we find reason for rhyme
Just in time

A just and democratic society
When a lug gets a hug escaping disparity
When first and last come to parity
The reign of faith, hope and charity

LYRICS
It goes in one ear
And right in the other
Both ears hear
Slightly different than one another

A simple gift
A pan to the left
A pan to the right
Bringing light to third eye sight

Experimenting
With sound fermenting
Pushing buttons and turning knobs
For a good sound job
A sound sound job
A solid sound
Released and found
