LYRICS
To the graduating class of 2014
I hope you know what it will mean
Getting to 2015

Graduated
Arranged in a series… according to a scale
Graduated
Categorized theories… evolutionary tale

To the graduating class of 2015
I hope you know what it will mean
To be alive and on the scene

To the graduating class of 2016
I hope you know what it will mean
Avoiding “one with the machine”

To the graduating class of 2017
I hope you know what it will mean
If the powers come clean

To the graduating class of 2018
I hope you know what it will mean
To still convene

To the graduating class of 2019
I hope you know what it will mean
To live out a dream

To the graduating class of 2020
Isn’t hindsight always
2020
The blind see days
2020
The lost find ways

LYRICS
If the thing you like the most about this time of year
Are how tipsy people get after a dose of Christmas cheer
Here, hear, hear!

Punch drunk (I thunk punch drunk I thunk…)
Hit in the head with thoughts of love
Punch drunk (I thunk punch drunk I thunk…)
Hit in the heart with the light from above

Oh ya know I hate the debate of Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays
Religion is blind when it comes to being kind and how it saves in so many ways
Rays, rays, raise!

Get knocked out of the place where there’s any space in the race for hate
Even Scrooge shed the stooge when he saw his fate… it’s not too late
Unburden the weight
Please don’t wait

LYRICS
I thought we were gonna have some fun?
Looks like the fun’s come undone
Am I stuck here with you feeling blue

The wrought of gotta get coming on?
An addiction to shoppin’ consumption
That I don’t know… (sorry) I gotta go

Ya know… I’m feeling a little bit better
And I don’t wanna end up a soul debtor
Shall I open my ugly Christmas sweater?

If you don’t know whether you can weather the family get-together
Remember you won’t be around for ever
Let the fear give way to Christmas cheer

LYRICS
Ole man winter is at it again
Chillin’ my bones deep within
From the tips of my toes
Right up to my chin

Ole man winter is at it again
Keepin’ up with the Jones
Get the shopping woes
A fight you can not win

Ole man winter is here once again
Put up the tree get out the trim
Ole man winter brings on lovin’
As we sing a carol and hum a hymn
It warms the chill within

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

Do you think I am stubborn as…

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…

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

Join in the parade

The trick is not being a self righteous pig
While doing the happy dance jig

Hoping we meet

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

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

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
