LYRICS
Hear you got the disease
Hear you caught it with ease
The further you spread
The more will drop dead
I say,
“I beg your pardon…
Spreader at the Rose Garden?”
Before they could pass the bill
Spread it over capital hill

Hear you got the disease
Hear you caught it with ease
The further you spread
The more will drop dead
COVID free is now long gone
Spread it to the Pentagon
Hospital break-out like King Kong
Taking it home… it won’t be long

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.

LYRICS
There’s a space
Between the doors
Does no one care
Any more
There’s no space
Up on the floors
Does someone care
Any more

Every name of the dead
Shall be read
At least,
If you’re name is said
Not the beast
666 fix
777
Gone to heaven

Quite contrary
Fence around a cemetery
People are just dying to get in
The End
Where we begin

Bury them deep
Less their souls to seep

Pile them wide

LYRICS
I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
But, I confess…
I’m nervous
I’m serious…
Sorry if I appear delirious
But, I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
Keep your distance
I can’t kiss you
Not this instance
A 6-feet throw’s the best I can do
Blowin’ and throwin’
… love….
To get us through
Get between us?
Let’s careen us
Set our sails
Not off the rails
I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
Keep your distance
I can’t kiss you
Not this instance
A 6-feet throw’s the best I can do
Blowin’ and throwin’
… love….
To get us through

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
Thoughts rearrange
Agent of change

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

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

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

LYRICS
Look out over the scene
Hello,
We’re all yellow
With the blues
What we choose —
Green
He said turning from red
Hello,
Turning to yellow
’till just my a$$ is seen
Turning to green!
Resources of the Earth
Getting lean
Time for a rebirth
And, turning green

LYRICS
Can you grab it?
Grab it
Isn’t this the $hit!
Breaks their habit
Least slows it down a bit
But, will anything come of it
Or back to our use and abuse
Rape the landscape
Foul the air
So fresh air’s rare
Do we really want to go there?
Got to wear a mask everywhere
Cation! Alert! Aware…
Of Be Ins with human beings

Did I hear your mom calling?
I think you’d better go
Don’t you know the sky’s falling

Didn’t you say you couldn’t be late
I think you’d better go
Didn’t you say you hated to wait
I think you’d better go

Can we go?
Let’s roll

LYRICS
Do as I say not as I do
’cause I don’t care about you
And I’m going to do
What I want to do
Is the rude attitude
To which I allude
Soon the fool will learn
The Golden Rule
Can’t fool the Golden Rule
Karma is the baker
When you go to meet your maker
Do you find it absurd
You eat your own words
And do you hate the taste of hate
Perhaps it’s not too late to relate?
