Well I broke a heart over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
I wouldn't blame him if he said to me

LYRICS
[I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee
Won’t my Mama be so proud of me]
A buzzard is two-faced
Their drink is laced
The politician, again?
You bet he can
(Crooked politician)
The tainted drink you consume
Designated mental tomb
What do you mean?
Obscene… at the Inn and no room?
At the “in” and no room
Better let it out
Be it scream… be it shout
Let there be no doubt
Better let it out
Be it word… be it rhyme
Now is the time
Pre-post-prime
Prime time

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about being brainwashed, drinking tainted Kool-aid and seeing mirages in Washington DC.

LYRICS
There’s a rustle in the henhouse
Must be a fox… or maybe a louse
Or a wolf in sheep’s clothing
… worth bothering looking?

Is it worth taking a look?
He stole your mother’s pocketbook
Gonna poke her in the eye
And by the roadside… die!
We’re talkin’bout yo mama
Political drama gonna kill yo mama
(Oh, give my mama back Obama!)

Wormed his way in

Who does he think he's foolin'
Em                A
With that foolish grin

Maybe it's good thinkin'

If we go ahead and wall him in

The conman like King Kong
Swinging from a New York tower
Danglin', cryin', squeezin'
Tryin' to take away Her power
Flim... flam... flimflam

City slicker / rural grifter
Pennsylvania Avenue rotten few
Sighin', denyin', dyin'
Replyin' "Whatever you say, I'll do!"
Flip flop... flipflop

LYRICS
I won’t take any salary
Nor discriminate at all
Going to give birth to a wall
And, Mexico is going to pay the dowry
Look me right in the eye
Tell me that is no lie
Cross your heart… hope to die

I won’t tolerate bribery
(Unless it’s from the Russian mob)
If the Russians blackmail me
I’m just an arrogant snob
Look me right in the eye
Tell me that is no lie
Cross your heart… hope to die

Let me tell you, Mama
Obama bugged my tower
And, what was that? Humanana
Don’t believe in golden showers
Look me right in the eye
Tell me that is no lie
Cross your heart… hope to die

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Jack and Jill went up to The Hill
But, The Hill just wanted to kill, kill, kill
Peter, Peter the pumpkin grifter
Had 3 wives and couldn’t keep ‘er
Colored like a pumpkin shell
Going to damn us all to hell
From Humpty Dumpty’s great wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
The jack(a$$) fell down
And broke his crown
We all came tumbling after
(Does anybody remember laughter?)

Little Boy Blue go blow your horn
The U.S.A. is all the scorn
Our worldly welcome’s been out worn
They all wish we were never born
Before you say “can we adjourn?”
Mother Goose, will we ever learn?
From Humpty Dumpty’s great wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
The jack fell down
And broke his crown

The bridge to freedom is falling down
(My Fair Lady, the King is shady)
Ashes, ashes we all fall down
Take the low road… I’ll take the ridge
Has anyone seen the confounded bridge?
From Humpty Dumpty’s great wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
The jack fell down
And broke his crown
We all came tumbling after
[Laughter]

Coversong originally made famous by the Youngbloods
Written by Chet Powers, also known as Dino Valenti
The song was originally recorded as “Let’s Get Together” by the Kingston Trio and released on June 1, 1964

A
Love is but the song we sing,
                      G
And fear's the way we die.
A
You can make the mountains ring,
                   G
Or make the angels cry.
A
Know the dove is on the wing,
                      G
And you need not know why.

D                 E
C'mon people now, smile on your brother,
     A                          D
everybody get together, try and love one
  E           A   G A
another right now.

Some will come and some will go..
And we shall surely pass.
When the one who left us here,
returns for us at last.
We are but a moments sunlight,
fading in the grass.

C'mon people now, smile on your brother,
everybody get together, try and love one
another right now.

If you hear the song I sing,
You must understand.
You hold the key to love and fear,
All in your trembling hand.
Just one key unlocks them both,
It's there at your command..

Coversong made famous by Creedence Clearwater Revival

“Cotton Fields” is a song written by American blues musician Huddie Ledbetter, better known as Lead Belly, who made the first recording of the song in 1940.

 G   N.C.
When I was a little 'itty bitty baby
                C                  G
My momma would rock me in the cradle
                                  D
In them old... cotton fields back home
         G                              C            G
It was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texarkana
               D                 G      C
In them old cotton fields back home
 G           C
When them cotton balls get rotten
            G
You can't pick very much cotton
                                D
In them old cotton fields back home
         G                              C             G

Get it out of the system
I guess I am
Bring it into sight (the light)
That’s right
The mountain mile high
A new beginning nigh
Turn on what I am
Let the life begin
Climbed up the mountain
I can come down again

System restoration
“I am” reincarnation
Now the mountain an’ I
Are a mile high
Nothing I love better to do
Then, enjoy the view with you

LYRICS
You cut off your nose to spite your face?
Another by-product of the human race
Do you cover your ears ’cause you fear to hear?
Do you cover eyes… no looking here!
Do you cover your lips ‘less truth slips?

In a disgrace did you rig the race?
Is your space way out of place?
Do you cover your ears ’cause you fear to hear?
Do you cover eyes… no looking here!
Do you cover your lips ‘less truth slips?

Pick up a guitar… pick up a bass
Why don’t we just rock this place
Uncover your ears we have no fears
Uncover your eyes stand-up to lies
Uncover your voice! We have a choice!

There’s a chill running down my spine
Not so sure if I’m feelin’ fine
Should I be laughin’
Should I be cryin’
Farcical chill
You deliver a shiver

Have you heard? The herd’s absurd
Miraculous ridiculousness
Should I be laughin’
Should I be cryin’
Farcical chill
I don’t know…
Does this show blow?

There’s still a chill doin’ the spine drill
Skin’s got goosebumps… lumps…
I’m feelin’ ill
Farcical chill

The emperor is wearing no clothes
Every little detail… totally exposed
The brain salad took all the Russian dressing
Now we’re left with the embarrASSing
Should I be laughin’
Should I be cryin’
Farcical chill

You deliver a shiver
Believe I’m a believer
