LYRICS
No sense in growing older
To become hate’s soldier
Might as well stay innocent

Be the rock of all ages
Throughout history’s pages
Trying to shine your light
On all that’s right… alright!

No sense in growing colder
All calloused and harder
Might as well be decent
Warmhearted ambient

Chorus

No sense in growing further
Further from happiness
No sense in growing deader
Closer to lifelessness

Chorus

LYRICS
The humane-less humans are at it again
Slash and burn wherever they’ve been

What on Earth is going on?
Where did they go so wrong

Earthlings in search of intelligent life
No cause or concern for morals or strife

What on Earth is going on?
Where did they go so wrong

Hey now people where have you been
No compassion for your fellow man

What on Earth is going on?
Where did they go so wrong

The human beings have lost their feelings
Defying the meaning of being beings

What on Earth is going on?
Where did they go so wrong

LYRICS
It’s a hell of a bargain
… a hell of a bargain
Dancin’ and singin’
Just for the cost of your freedom

What a great deal
When they steal
Your passion to feel
What is the cost of your freedom?

What grows in your garden
Hellish or heaven
Harvest again and again
Finding the cost of your freedom

LYRICS
What’s up down at the corner
It’s gone to hot from warmer
The Heat has gotten colder
Not wiser… just older

The girls looking fine
Help give peace-of-mind
Easy to find
Tripping on a landmine

What’s up down at the corner
Just like little Jack Horner
Feat on pie-in-sky
What a good boy am I

Chorus

What’s up down at the corner
Need a coroner
Because the men in blue
Feel the need to hate you

LYRICS
I have a wish
It’s not like this
What comes to mind
Is being kind

There’s no debate
A reign of hate
A little late
It’s raining hate

Vinegar n’ piss
Waterless fish
Hope you can find
How to be kind

Chorus

They’re so irate
Mental masturbate
They just can’t wait
To dish out hate

LYRICS
Here’s the problem with the thing
Have you the freedom to sing?
Dare you take a chance…
n’ be free to dance

Growing dependence on Independence Day

How can you be reciting
When they’ve outlawed reading
Sure seems their fights
Violate rights

Growing dependence on Independence Day

At times I’m at a loss
No mimes says the boss
No juggling, music or magic
… I’m getting sick

Growing dependence on Independence Day

LYRICS
You can’t let it get to you
No, you can’t let it get to you

When what is to blame is their shame
Remember the name of the game
Heal the lame and love just the same

You can’t let it get to you
That’s what they want to do
Alter your point-of-view

Chorus
… Love just the same

You can’t let it get to you
You know that they have no clue
Everyone roots you pull through

They try to take our freedom
Freedom to sing
I thought this was America
The land of the free
Small town going down in history
What will be the future of local artistry
Ohhhhhhhhh

A song about 3 bad cops (people engaged in illegal behavior) in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and the crimes they’ve committed:
Patrolman Albert McCarthy Jr.
Patrolman Gregory M. Cugino
Corporal Joshua Lee

LYRICS
It’s a sad state of affairs
… a sad state of affairs

It’s a sad state of affairs
When nobody cares…
… a sad state of affairs

It’s a sad state of affairs
Come-to-life nightmares
… a sad state of affairs

Trying to bring justice with moronic spite
If you ask me, that just ain’t right
Hate crimes? Sometimes
And other felonies pursue
If your not careful… they’ll beat their law into you

It’s a sad state of affairs
… a sad state of affairs
What the Dub C PD does to me
And you, too

Will high noon
Come too soon
Showdown duel
Of the fool
Just another full moon fool
Just another full moon loon

As the Earth spins
Nobody wins
If we all choose
Of course to lose

Just another full moon loon

Weigh the Milky Way
Then learn how to say

Or… stubborn as a mule?

Just another full moon loon
