bookmark_borderLiving it Up in America

LYRICS
What do you make of it?
The human habitat (bull$hit)
And all that (bad habit)
Looks like they’re losing ground
All around
Save the sinking ship
Going to drown
Going down
Down
Down
Down
Living it up in America
Volatility of humanity
In a pandemic society
Protest: they riot and loot
Garnishing and licking boot
Ha, ha
Ahh… living it up in America

All the malfeasance
Humanitarian treasons

From sea to declining see

LYRICS
The hate of hate
Realize too late
You cast your fate
Surprise anticipate
Salt in the wound
Alt Control delete
None too soon
Rinse and repeat

The despise of the I’s
When you are them
Surprise to realize
We’re all human
Salt in the wound
Alt Control delete
None too soon
Rinse and repeat

The love of love
Reign from above
The love of love
Rain from above
Soak our spirit
For all to hear it

bookmark_borderThe National Guard

LYRICS
Like to see some common sense
And rational
As opposed to the national…
… guard… your freedom
Because, I love you
Freedom, I do

The Insurrection Act of 1807
Can go straight to…
Heaven on Earth
Freedom at birth
Rational
As opposed to the national…
… guard… your freedom
Because, I love you
Freedom, I do

Wipes his a$$
With the Constitution
It came to pass
Our de-evolution
Like to see some common sense
And rational
As opposed to the national…
… guard… your freedom
Because, I love you
Freedom, I do

LYRICS
We are consumers of our own demand
We are our demand
What do we supply?
I wonder… “why?”
We are consumers of our own demand

We demand as our human right…
Right?

You can choose not to consume
Your own pollution
Just spit it out
Let’s hear you shout
Let’s here you shout
We are consumers of our own demand!
You’re your own pollution solution

In the face of science

LYRICS
Guess it’s starting to show
Where we’re really going
Guess I’m getting to know
Which way the wind’s blowing
The day draws near
The smoke will clear

The sprouts starting to grow
Toward the sun going
Guess it’s starting to show
Which way the rains flowing
The day draws near
Harvest is here

To yes from a no
The love starts growing
Up high from down low
Let love begin showing
The day is here
Sound the “all clear”

bookmark_borderFull-circle

LYRICS
A rabbit scurries circular
In a you’re blur
Your blur
Jumping off the path
Give the dog a bath
As the hound
Comes round
Chasing his tail’s trail
Run the circle again
Run around ’round

A tortoise and a hair
Had to get somewhere
All’s fair
Hair split
And that’s not the half of it
Amphibian for the win
One/won
Run the circle again
Running in circles
Chasing squirrels
In between
Scene: seen

bookmark_borderAmphitrite

LYRICS
While the ship
Is going down
Bite your lip
Conceal the frown
(Or)
Capsize your hypocrisies
Let conspiracies drown
Actualize open eyes
And turn this ship around

Star aboard the starboard
Be stern upon your stern
Bow out
Port to port
Dear Lord,
Don’t go overboard
You’ve yourself to thank
Forget walking the plank
You can bail out of this
Set sail
Amphitrite in sight
Blow her a kiss
Bail out of this

LYRICS
You can huff… huff and puff
You can huff and puff
Knock my door down
I’ll call your bluff
And raise you two, too
’cause I ain’t coming out

Beyond a doubt
Your normal’s not normal
After all
Guess the moral’s…
You’re not normal

LYRICS
I don’t know what you mean
Saying you love what is mean
Or if you mean you mean mean
Comin’ clean
Let the hungry eat
Be damned your conceit
Put shoes on their feet
Be damned your deceit
It’s not that hard to do
Is there no convincing you?

I don’t know how to take
Saying you love what is hate
Or if you hate you hate hate
Too late?
Let the hungry eat
Be damned your conceit
Put shoes on their feet
Be damned your deceit
It’s not that hard to do
Is there no convincing you?

Suspended disbelief… in awe
The Commander In Grief
No relief
Is there no relief
Suspended disbelief… in awe
To the jaw dropping gall

Suspended disbelief… in awe
A mounting pile of skull
Suspended disbelief… in awe
In denial of the dull
Suspended disbelief… in awe
The damnedest Christian belief

LYRICS
Amused at my own sense of humor
I could go on for an hour
Laugh so hard I almost cry
Grab my side like I’m gonna die
Won’t take much
Slightest touch
Sets me free
Of any misery

Laughter is the best medicine
Time and time again
All the while crack a smile
Living life is bliss in style
Won’t take much
Slightest touch
Sets me free
Ahh… the remedy
