LYRICS
All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution

Son, had you begun in Ferguson?
Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore

You can’t hate hate unless you partake
You can’t take part with what’s at stake
When you behave all irate… at any rate

There’s a moral lack when you strike back
At others not involved in your attack
Doesn’t matter whether they’re a shade of grey, white or black
It’s just a matter of fact
That ain’t no way to act

Is it any wonder they wanna put you in a cage
The way you behave all in a rage
You’re more likely to engage as a sage
Put a The End to that book… and look to a blank page

All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution

Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore?
No more! No more!

It’s kind-of like a premonition
Not really a superstition

Let yourself go

With very little superstition
From the gut
No if, and, or, but

I think and I thunk on figuring about
The whole world turning inside out

Have you ever, ever, ever, ever thought about
The whole world turning inside out

Give a scream! Give a shout! Figure about:
The whole world turning inside out
Give a scream! Give a shout! Figure about.
And maybe… just maybe… we can work it out

See the world… and it’s turning inside out

LYRICS
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo do what you do
The more you change the more you’re the same
You’re going insane
You and your voodoo

Without concern
When will you learn
You don’t care about me
When do you think you’ll see
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
Do what you do

The more you change
The more you stay the same
The more you change
The more convinced I am
You’re going insane
You and your voodoo

The more your change
The more you rearrange
The more you change
The more insane
You’re insane
You went insane
You went off the tracks
You don’t know fiction from facts
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
you do what you do

The more you change
The more you rearrange
The more you change
The more insane
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
You do what you do

The more you change
The more you rearrange
The more you change
The more insane
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
You do what you do

This is the part we talk about the change
Postpartum depression
Ya I am
I learned my lesson
The more you changed
The more you rearranged
The more you changed
The more insane
You went insane
You went crazy on me
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
You do what you do

Won’t you please pass some more
Though I dunno how much I can endure
But I like it

Indulgence endurance
Is what’s on tap
Intelligence absence
Can’t fill the gap

Won’t you please pour some more…

Won’t you please have some more….

And the cues (q’s) to mind yours too
Indulgence won’t cease
Mind your cues and peas

LYRICS
From when you rise under the sunrise
’till the day’s undone under the setting sun
May all your dreams come true
While doing what it is you do

From when you go to sleep at night
’til that first ray of the new day’s light
May all your dreams come true
Dreaming the dreams that you do

In the scenes from your dreams
Do you dream in colors… ya know… colors of the rainbow?
Who gets the pot ‘o gold
How is your story told?

LYRICS
Up in smoke
Ain’t no joke

Did you see the calamity
Of the puzzle monkey tree?
Oh, you know what’s puzzling me
Unseen inevitability

Up in smoke
Ain’t no joke

The way we spew our debris
Like we’re the champs of society
Coming back a little too fast
Gonna kick me in the ass

Up in smoke
Ain’t no joke

In the midst of demon fits
Gonna smash it all to bits
Kiss of death on our lips
Human induced apocalypse

Up in smoke
Ain’t no joke

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
B E Am
Am D7

A verse inspired by the wildfires in Chile burning in the forests of 1,000 old puzzle monkey trees. (At least the government of Chile recognizes it as the effects of human induced climate change.) Another verse is inspired by the ISIS destruction of ancient artifacts in Syria using sledgehammers and bulldozers. I guess you could say the song is about human induced destruction of everything.

Araucaria araucana — commonly called the monkey puzzle tree
The origin of the popular English language name ‘monkey puzzle’ derives from its early cultivation in Britain in about 1850, when the species was still very rare in gardens and not widely known. Sir William Molesworth, the proud owner of a young specimen at Pencarrow garden near Bodmin in Cornwall was showing it to a group of friends, one of them – the noted barrister and Benthamist Charles Austin remarked, “It would puzzle a monkey to climb that”. [Because it takes a 1,000 years for them to grow, young specimens are tiny.] As the species had no existing popular name, first ‘monkey puzzler’, then ‘monkey puzzle’ stuck. — Wikipedia

LYRICS
If I am unresponsive for more than a year,
I fear… The End wont’ be near

Now, that I know what I know
Would you mind hitting replay, again?
Must’a been the first few times through
I didn’t know what I thought I knew… then

I believe I’ve lived before
I believe I might live some more
Take me in the woods and shoot me ‘tween the eyes
And, set my soul free for me

Don’t put me in a home
Or make me live alone
Just shoot me ‘tween the eyes

Betwixt between

Hopin’ my soul will live again,
So please next o’ kin
Once you realize
Shoot me ‘tween the eyes

ps. While I’m still alive and you realize
I wish to be set free
Please allow me
To set your mind at ease
Please, please put me out of my misery

What if we already are
On a deserted island
All ya can see
Is an enormous sea
Of ignoramus
Ohhh God bless
(What a mess)

Sound too bizarre
Really?
By how far
Do you understand
Will we be the sea I see?

Eventually,
Will it become of you and me
I mean… we
An inevitability
That me and you
Will be drowning, too

What if we really are
On a deserted island…

Just another blowhard
Working a snow job
Pulling wool over eyes
Propagating big lies
The facts smacked… the truth marred
Morality robbed… enraged mob

Lying about
Laying about
Don’t you think it’s just about a total white-out?

Just another blowhard
Working a snow job
Time you’re cut down to size
And, said your goodbyes
Your opinions are forever barred
Please! Stop making our heads throb

You send shivers up my spine… you’re that cold
If the story be told,
Your ill will
Is like my tongue getting stuck to an icicle

Look! Everything’s coming up roses
Looking through my rose-colored glasses

Even the politicians don’t appear as asses
No such luck
They’re still looking dumb as….

Still
An optimistic perception

Give rise to immaculate conception
’cause Holy $hit… that’s it!
Time to birth an idea with worth

Look! Everything’s coming up roses
Looking through my rose-colored glasses
The roses are read
Pessimism’s dead

Set yourself free

Once you unlock your cage door
You’ll never go back to the way it was before

It’s not too late to push that gate
Why wait… push open that gate
Let your inside out
Find out no doubt

Don’t hesitate! Push open the gate!
Through the threshold — you
Let your inside out
Feel free to move about

You know the time… is well before you’ve died

LYRICS
Chase your dreams
They will come
So it seems
And then some

There is a spider lady
That weaves her web
Catches dreams that are shady
Waiting for the dark to ebb

“Once the sun rises
All bad dreams just disappear”
Good thoughts all shapes and sizes
Will become ever clearer

(whispered “She’s Asibikaashi”

ABOUT THE SONG
G A E
D A E
E

Dreamcatchers originated with the Ojibwe people. The Ojibwe people have an ancient legend about the origin of the dreamcatcher. Storytellers speak of the Spider Woman, known as Asibikaashi; she took care of the children and the people on the land. Eventually, the Ojibwe Nation spread to the corners of North America and it became difficult for Asibikaashi to reach all the children. So the mothers and grandmothers would weave magical webs for the children, using willow hoops and sinew, or cordage made from plants. The dreamcatchers would filter out all bad dreams and only allow good thoughts to enter our mind. Once the sun rises, all bad dreams just disappear.
