LYRICS
Will the wolf pack
Have a heart attack
when they have to come clean
’bout being obscene
Want my money back
’cause your service lacks
Official my ass
You’ve got no class
An upheaval
It’s the principle
Of the matter
That matters
A surprising uprising
When you lay down with sleaze
Are you going to get fleas
Leave ’em the keys
And monkey flees
What are you going to do
Animals running the zoo
Watch your step
Poo up to your hip

LYRICS
Are you still the same
Or going more insane
Membrane getting lame
Growing more insane
Take a step back
Catch the breath you lack
Prey for the day
Capture the allure
Be the cure
Rest assure
Are you growing old
A story never told
Has your heart grown cold
As you sold your soul
While I still can breath
Going to believe
There is no better way
Than living for today

LYRICS
One in a long, long time
Once in a blue moon
I’m falling into some childhood nursery rhyme
Coming again so soon?
Once in a “upon a time”
Once in a cartoon
I’m falling into some childhood nursery rhyme
Coming again so soon?
Once in a century’s crime
Once the cow jumps the moon
I’m falling into some childhood nursery rhyme
Coming again so soon?
Once in a lifetime
“Once” begins to loom
I’m falling into some childhood nursery rhyme
Coming again so soon?

LYRICS
Storm clouds blowing
A cold wind chills
Best start running
Head for the hills
Thunder rolling
A storm cloud spills
Best be running
Head for the hills
The land starts to slide
Grand landslide
The rocks start to roll
Where’s my hole/whole
God will tan my hide
No place left to hide
Heads are going to roll
Where’s my hole/whole
Hard rain’s falling
Up the spine chills
Best start running
Head for the hills
She’s outgunning
A look that kills
Best be running
Head for the hills

LYRICS
What is this monstrosity
We’ve made out of me?
Because this is not my destiny
(No, this ain’t my destiny)
Surely
Moving up
To a higher vibration
Moving up
To a higher elevation
Gonna shed this monkey suit
It’s time I “do it”
Time to wring
The monstrosity out of me
Take wing
From your destiny
Is see
It’s time to be me

LYRICS
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down
As the down-and-out
Get driven out-of-town
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down
If there’s any doubt
Just look around
[jam]
Will they all find out
They’ve become the clown
The more they scream and shout
The more they pout and frown
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down
Did the id get full of clout
Turning verb to noun
Soon the last will be en route
… first to wear the crown
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down

LYRICS
The bridge is burning
The bridge is burning
The bridge is burning
Behind you
Whatcha gonna do?
Burning bridges behind you
Behind… feel like an ass?
Then, you said,
“Burn the bridge ahead!”
Watch gonna do
Your ass is on fire
Then, your desire
“Flame what’s ahead,”
You said.
What a shame…
Flame
Burning bridges
Now, where are you going to go
Do you know
Nowhere to run
Your road is done

LYRICS
If you try and try again
Fall and fail and try again
It really is not a sin
To end up where you begin
With murder and rape
There’s no debate
The hangman’s drawin’ near
If I have my druthers
“Help others!”
Music to my ears
Maybe its not too late
To appreciate
A more moral all
The deal with your glory
It’s hell in overkill
The moral of the story
Don’t steal God’s goodwill

This is a song about love
If you love love let it out
This is a song about love
This is a song about hope
If you hope for hope just look about
This is a song about hope

This is a song about happiness
Are you happy to be happy? Shout!
This is a song about happiness

This is the day for dreams to come true
This is the day to bring it out of you
’cause a beating heart is fleeting
(The beating is fleeting)
So I’ll strive to keep love alive!

LYRICS
We’ve got ourselves one hell-of-a situation
One nation… divided….
Where’s the God? (How odd)
Are the children all invisible
How is it possible
Without a single care about their air
While the yes-men are starving them in Yemen
Amen?
Giving up on that is where I’m at
A women
I concede is the touch we need
What about the grandchildren?
The massive debt we’ve left for them
Shot our load watching bombs explode
Stubborn fools burning fossil fuels
While the yes-men are starving them in Yemen
Amen?
Giving up on that is where I’m at
A women
I concede is the touch we need
ABOUT THE SONG
A song about children… and Facebook removing a New York Times picture of a 7-year-old girl named Amal that is starving to death due to the war in Yemen.
“Photo of a Starving Girl in Yemen Prompts Facebook to Remove Posts of Article”
For a few hours after The New York Times published an article about conflict and hunger in Yemen, Facebook temporarily removed posts from readers who had tried to share the report on the social platform.
At issue was a photograph of a starving child.

LYRICS
Does it appear to be too far away
Far from near
Completely our of reach
Long fro freedom on a reigny day
Be the waves crashing on the beach
Free the slaves
Living in my heart
Given freedom as they depart
Being the master of my destiny
As all demons are set free
Taking control of what is my soul
With the goal
To be free
From agony
If I harbor ill will still
Cast it out and set ‘er to sail
Goodwill fills the void
And calms the wail
As the year draws near
To shed a tear
I’ve come to learn there’s nothing to fear
So long as love I endear

LYRICS
Have you heard about the aliens
With their baggage of alien sins
They say they’re coming this way
They say get out of the way
Have you heard about the aliens
Foreign language of alien sins
I hope they don’t say
In some foreign way
“Take me to your leader”
For I’ll have to convey
“You mean the bottom feeder?”
O.K. are you for real
Hey, hey what is your deal
They said you were coming this way
They said get out of your way
They said You’d have alien ways
And rob all of our days
Please don’t take me to task
And be so bold to ask
“Can you take me to your leader?”
ABOUT THE SONG
A song about immigrants and the “migrant caravan”.
In 2014, there were about 600,000 immigrants that became citizens. There are no numbers under the new administration but the forecast is bleak. In any event, adding 1 new worker for every 500 existing workers is better than nothing; however, it is still inadequate to compensate for our aging population.
An even bigger problem for the economy are the “other” migrant workers, such as, “H-2A Temporary Agricultural Workers” and other low paid workers… right now the USA has millions of low-pay jobs we can not fill. Mostly work that had been performed by migrant labor (that US citizens do not want to do.) The current administration has all but eliminated these types of immigrants. So, now that we can not fill the jobs with taxpaying, SS paying, etc. migrant workers, businesses suffer losses and our economic system suffers losses. Perhaps we will find a few US citizens to take jobs they don’t want to do (though the 6 million jobs have gone unfilled for many months.) More likely, the jobs will be eliminated altogether by AI and robotics. Either way, it is a loss and cost for the US economy in the short and long term.
