Are You The Missing Link?

By admin | Published: December 21, 2012

In the middle
In the middle of it
Whether you are within
Or, the outer skin

From out here
You’re in the middle of it
From out here
You’re all in the middle of it

From outside
From way back here
It looks like you’re in the middle of it
If you take a different perspective
A different look
It will appear
You’re in the middle of it

If you want to call it a habit
’cause it’s something you can’t quit
As long as you’re under the atmosphere
And above the ground (by at least 6 feet)
Then the chances are thick
You’re in the middle of it

You Are the Missing Link.mp3

Safety Dance (Part 2)

By admin | Published: December 21, 2012

LYRICS
If we all stand and dance
We might all stand a chance

You might think you can sit in your seat
And, dance
Well, if you do
And, you can sit and through a fit
That’s you
But, if we all stand and dance
We might stand a chance

As the times get tougher and tougher and rougher and rougher
You might even call it ugly
There’s a light you can see
Come with me
And, make me we
We’ll dance
Because if we all stand and dance
We might stand a chance

Dance is a spiritual romance
It can take us higher
Love is in the dance
There’s romance in the dance
If we all stand and dance
We might stand a chance

We can get together with our energy
And, you and me become we

We’ve only got so much time on this Earth
From when you’re dead
Back to the time of your birth
If you want to make those days pay
And, be on your merry way
If we all stand and dance
We might all stand a chance

What do you say we pick this up a little bit maestro?

(up the tempo)

Be On Your Merry Way

By admin | Published: December 20, 2012

LYRICS
As you are going through your day-to-day
Are you having fun along the way?

If you’re feeling miserable and mean
I’m hoping I can help you come clean
If you’re having trouble all the time
Hoping that you get to find a rhyme
That will help you on your merry way
Be on your merry way

As you’re going through your day-to-day
Are you having fun along the way
For I’m just here to help you say O.K.
Hope you can be on your merry way

As you are going through your day-to-day
Are you having fun along the way?

Join The Slugfest

By admin | Published: December 20, 2012

LYRICS
I confess the world is a mess
Come on
Join the slugfest

We can do our best
To take the high road
We can do our best
To lighten the load

Come on
Join the slugfest

Might as well join the slugfest
The world is a mess
We can do our best
To take it to a better place
To make it a better place…
Before we eclipse our race

If you’re able please keep pace
Well, we gotta win this race
It’s more like a relay
Than an individual event
So, we need that spirit
We need to be a team
If we’re gonna glean
The winner’s circle
If we’re gonna be
On the podium
Gotta be the best I can
Gotta be the best I am

The best I.M. (individual medley)

Come join in the slugfest
We can make it the best
Once we think of it
A soul mosh pit
Join in the slugfest
We’ll do our best
To reach a crest
Through the trough

Why?

By admin | Published: December 19, 2012

LYRICS
Driving down the road, I saw a bumper sticker
Reading, “If you could ask God one question, what would it be?”

I couldn’t ‘ve thunk much quicker
Before it occurred to me –
Why?

The gauntlet of life
May you be the light
Shinning bright
So rife
Ever evolving cycles
Letting us grow together
Bugle of Gabriel
All things getting better

I use to be the image of an ape, too
… just like you
We’ve traveled through
To a condition of raised vibration

An eye on why I?

Why? .mp3

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun

Coversong by The Electric Slugs

Pink Floyd - Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun (Barrett)

Am                   G              Am      G  Am
Little by little the night turns around,

                          G           Am    G  Am
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

Dm                   C          Dm          C  Dm
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning,

Am               G              Am
Over the hills a swallow is resting

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Am                 G                 Am     G  Am
Over the mountains watching the watcher,

                      G               Am    G  Am
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow,

Am                      G            Am
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun,

Am
The heart of the sun,  The heart of the sun...

Am                    G            Am       G  Am
Witness the man who waves at the wall,

                        G               Am  G  Am
Making the shape of his questions to heaven

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Whether the sun will fall in the evening,

Am                   G            Am
Will he remember the lesson of giving?

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun,

The heart of the sun,  The heart of the sun...

Bomb-control (to Major Tom)

By admin | Published: December 17, 2012

LYRICS
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, lift-off
This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
Can you hear me, Major Tom
Are you even awake?
Cause if you are, I have a feeling you’d shake
We don’t need gun-control
What’s needed hear is bomb-control

We nuked all these kids in World War II
Then, we tried to… er, a… ya know… say it wasn’t true

How about in Iraq
When we did the attack
On the sewage treatment plants
Just so we could kill tens of thousands and thousands of kids
With their own feces
We’ll my thesis is — that’s sick!

This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
Can you hear me, Major Tom
Are you even awake?

Are you conscience
Do you have a conscience

This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
Can you hear me, Major Tom
I’m telling ya
Something’s gone wrong
The wiring in your brain has gone insane
The drone attacks
The CIA
You can’t just sodomize everyone everyday

This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
Can you hear me, Major Tom
Come in
Can you hear me….

This is Bomb-control
And, I gotta say things are outta control

Bomb Control.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — G Em G C D G

Written and recorded on December 16, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania as an impromptu response to the calls for gun-control in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shootings. If we want to stop the mass murder of kids, we need to wake-up and look in the mirror. U.S. citizens are responsible for killing a multitude of thousands.

It was written in conjunction with the article
Gun Control? We Need Bomb Control

Scissor Massacre

By admin | Published: December 15, 2012

LYRICS
After a massacre
People get a scare
As though they’re unaware
They try to take my scissors away

Hey! Thinking gone astray
Taking my scissors Away

Just because someday
Someone, somewhere
May slay
You’re going to take my scissors away?

When you can’t take a gun on a plane
The insane use the plane
Does that make it sane to take the plane?

Tough to own a gun in China
So, the insane stab ya
Are we all going to be eating with spoons soon?

Save the day
Before they take my scissors away

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Em D B Am G Em

Written and recorded on December 15, 2012 in West Chester, PA. It was inspired by people talking about taking away our freedom after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings.

May the Music Take You Higher

By admin | Published: December 15, 2012

LYRICS
If you are down from all these attacks on humanity
Please consider… it might just be our tax for insanity

May the music take us higher
Elevate all we vibrate

If we create
This society
I guess that’s what we do
Then it’s our responsibility to see it through
We create these monsters
Then when it comes time
We distance ourselves further
Farther, further, father

May the music take us higher
And, elevate all we vibrate

May the music
And, all that we do
Take us higher

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Dm F Dm D

Written and recorded on December 15, 2012 in Chester County, PA. It was inspired by the events surrounding the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings.

Please Do NOT Be Dumb with Freedom

Please Do NOT Be Dumb with Freedom.mp3
(Free MP3 Freedom Music Download)

LYRICS
Why do you want to take away my rights
I swear it’s not right
Take away my freedom
Are you dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb?

When you talk about talking about
Talk, talk, talk, talk
About taking away my rights
Why don’t you take away your First, first
You don’t deserve freedom of speech
In fact, it’s a breach
Of humanity
You can blame the insanity
On society
But, that doesn’t make sense
To take away my rights
My freedom
Are you dumb, dumb, da da de dumb, dumb?

Leave my freedom alone
Don’t tread on me
Oh, can’t you see
This is the home
The home of the free and the brave
So, please save
Our freedom

Please don’t be dumb with our freedom
Why would you want to give mine away
Come on
All you talk and say about my rights
Just ain’t right
Don’t take my freedom away
Not today
Not any day

Are you dumb, da da de, dumb, dumb

Home come
You want to mess with freedom
When you take freedom away
That’s not O.K.

Why would you want to take away freedom
Are you dumb, da da de de da dumb?

Please, “Save our freedom! Don’t be dumb!”

Killing Me With Insanity

By admin | Published: December 15, 2012

Killing Me With Insanity.mp3 (Free MP3 Download or Streaming Audio)

LYRICS
Intro: Just because you’re ignorant
Or, have a fear
There is no need to bear it hear (here)

If you are ignorant
Or, having a phobia
Then, I am telling ya
Get a grip
Don’t talk
Don’t spout
Irrationally
’cause you’re killing me
You are kkkkkkkkilling me

If you want to talk gun control
Then call me some kind of troll
You’re killing me

Instead
Educate yourself
And, not only will you gain self-wealth
But, you’ll bear fruit for society
(helping with the insanity)

If we all were to act responsibly, respectfully, prospectively
We could see what could be
We could live in peace and harmony
But, when you get fear… phobia
Or, going to get ignorant and scared of the unknown
Well, you’re better off being alone
’till you can educate
Ya, from the apple of knowledge you ate
And, then we can talk reasonably… rationally
Instead of killing me

Look who is sounding militant
The one that wants to melt down all the guns
’cause it will take an army
To take your guns away
Do you think it will be any safer that day?

When ya talk that talk
Like you don’t know
’cause you don’t know
With a knee-jerk reaction
With less of a knee and more of a jerk

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — F# D#

Written and recorded on December 14, 2012 in Chester County, PA. It was inspired by all those people that are ignorant or afraid of guns… talking about gun control after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings.

Insanity (and the Criminally Insane)

By admin | Published: December 14, 2012

“If we focus on getting ‘guns out of the hands of the criminally insane’ instead of focusing on ‘why are people behaving with this insanity’, we won’t solve the problem.”

A song inspired by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings and the 22 children slashed with a knife in the Chinese school stabbings.

Insanity (and the Criminally Insane).mp3

LYRICS
What do you blame this insanity on?
Society
Society insanity
Don’t blame it on the gun
That’s not how this society will run
Don’t blame it on the murder weapon

If someone is criminally insane
If their brain can not refrain
From the criminal thought…
It comes to be an obsessive compulsive behavior
Then for sure…
Insanity

It’s too aplenty in my humble opinion
It’s society’s sin

Um…
Don’t treat the symptom
We need to find a cure
That’s for sure
We need a cure

With Christmas cards to your door

And, there’s still plenty of cheer
You’ve got to love the Christmas time of year
