Stay Safe

When the world is a little bit colder,
you can be the blanket for me.
When this world gets a little bit darker,
you’re the light that I see.
If your arms Cannot hold me,
it’s your love. I still feel
then your heart. is the only…
beating thing that’s real.
Chorus
Stay safe, stay safe
until you’re home here with me
Stay safe, stay safe
home is where you should be
I remember, what it was like
before every. -thing changed
in such a short time. we hardly talk now.
We should be …. able to agree.
Have we forgotten what's important,
we argue endlessly.
We're still human, and it's not right,
we all want the same thing.
So, Stay safe, stay safe
until you’re home here with me
Stay safe, stay safe
home is where you should be
home is where you should be
until you’re home here with me

We’re All Gonna Die

It’s all gone to shit yeah but we’ll be OK
And I’ll tell you why.
When the waters rise we’re all gonna die.
We’re all gonna die, we’re all gonna die
But that’s OK. I said that’s OK
You just need to spend all your money today
Spend your money today.
Yeah, throw it all away.
You don’t need it no more.
So buy something nice
Spend your money today
Buy a big boat.
Yeah a real big boat.
And lots of sunscreen
but make sure the boat has a cabin.
You’re gonna need batteries,
A shit ton of batteries.
So you can play all your MP3s
when there’s no radio.
Don’t take your kids.
They just use stuff we need.
And worse they’ll eventually
have their own kids.
We’re all gonna die, we’re all gonna die
But that’s OK. I said that’s OK
You just need to spend all your money today
It’s all gone to shit but we’ll be OK
And I’ll tell you why
When the waters rise we’re all gonna die

Ladybugs
02:59
|
|||
|
you can make this world
a better place
and do it with
style and grace
just choose your words
precisely, with care
sprinkle some love
and be aware
Chorus:
ladybugs filled the room
that day
and I knew
she'd fly away
simply look around
think about what you see
then you can judge
without certainty
a half cup of doubt
but know that you can
blend in some hope
then mix by hand
Chorus
we used to laugh
almost every day
maybe that's enough
to remember her that way
that’s what my mom
taught me in life
you can change the world
one thing at a time

I’m going to tell you all
it’s time to kick your ass in gear
It’s time we tear down fear
And do something now
The moment has arrived
we can tell we’re alive
And do more than survive
And do something now
Chorus:
It’s time we
Do Something, do Something
Do Something now
Do Something, do Something
Do Something now
Don’t just bitch and moan
time to get on the phone
to be sure, go knock on doors
It’s forward ho!
Polar bears can’t swim forever
Guns killed 7 kids today
Ten more lies, he’s a Russian spy
Women’s rights are being stripped away

Roly Poly
02:43
|

|
Sitting in my garden chair
There is a roly-poly over there
Touch him, He rolls into a ball
There’s no, there’s no Plan B
For the roly-poly
Got a feeling we’re headed for a fall
Chorus
rising tides may sink our shore
bumblebees won’t buzz no more
butterflies won’t have a place to rest
Sink or swim, will we still care
Will roly-poly’s still be here
If we say we’ve done our very best
Can we handle what is coming next
The garden, it grows all of our food
The roly-poly lives there too
Like me and you he wants grandkids too
Do I choose to sit and wait
We’re the choices that we make
Is there something more we can do?
Can I make a difference
In what happens next
Yeah I think there’s some things I could do
Chorus

fried shrimp, clams, some Maryland crabs
a big ole bucket of beer
the waitress comes over and says, 'is everything alright dear?'
-------
you never ever never know
all the places you will go
all the things that life will show
you just never know
you never ever never know
just learn to take it kinda slow
take every chance you get to grow
you just never know
If there's a long row to hoe
just take a look at your big toe
take off your shoe and go
Kick back, enjoy the show
-----
everything you want to know,
to the airport you should go
The information desk is key
to set your heart and mind free
and the answers you will find
they all locked up in your mind
they were there all along
that's the point of this here song

Learn To Be
02:54
|
|||
|
Wish more people would spend more time on their phones
And stick those ear things in their ear holes
Cause there’s nothing going on around you
Nothing worth paying attention to
Not the wind
Or the sun
Not the birds in the trees
Why can’t we learn to be
People who drive Harleys should stick em right up their ass
Especially if they ride em through the redwoods
I’ve seen em do it and it aint pleasant for the trees
And it aint right for you or for me
I think they’d fit
I’d bet they’d fit
Because they are big assholes
This is where the bridge should go
It should say something smart, something we all know
Yeah put a minor chord in, it creates tension
Make sure it resolves
People should try just talking to each other for a while
Maybe we can get each other to smile
Don’t attack each other like I just did
We can be better than that
I think we can
I bet we can
We can learn to be

Truth Will Set Us Free
02:28
|
|||

The prince knew Machiavelli
Have you no sense of decency?
you can't have morals when there's no ground
Chicken Little came a calling
Pinocchio's nose is growing
The emperor is not wearing any clothes
Chorus
But this is real
You just don't see
There's a long arc of justice and history
There's something you
You just don't see
It’s that we know truth will set us free
Joseph Goebbels was deformed
Nobody learned from Animal Farm
1984 taught us doublespeak
Just how did we get here?
Ignorance does not seem like bliss
It’s a fucked up repeat of history
Chorus
You may be you
I will be me
There's a long arc of justice and history
There’s something you
You just don’t see
It’s that we know the truth will set us free
half Chorus
I may be blue
You just are mean
But we know truth will set us free

Are We Great Yet?
02:32
|
|||
|
I’m a libtard
A fuckin snowflake
don’t need civility for civil disobedience
Tiki torches
Expose the darkness
Unambiguous moral equivalence
Lock a kid
Up in a cage
Is this what we’ve become
When they lead
with joy of hate
A house divided cannot be great
Chorus:
This trip that we are on
One thing we need to know
We need to know
Are We Great Yet?
“Trump that bitch!”
“Build a wall —“
Then they yell
“kill them all”

Big Ole Stick of Wood
02:31
|
|||
|
Chorus
Red bird's singing back to me
I'm playing my guitar
I don't think I'll ever be
No Grand ole Opry star
I don't think I'll ever feel
Quite as good
musing, strummin,, sittin’ here
With this big ole stick of wood
My Grand ole Opry’s anywhere
I pull up a chair
four legged furry friend
acting like he cares.
That sun is shining a spotlight
on the back porch stage
I can travel anywhere
or through any age
Instrumental
Truth is I sing for me
travel far, getting lost
follow breadcrumbs through the maze
shaking loose that albatross
Introduced me to myself
my joys and deepest pain
brings me closer to a place
I can start again
Chorus

Do Something Now

I’m going to tell you all
it’s time to kick your ass in gear
It’s time we tear down fear
And do something now
The moment has arrived
we can tell we’re alive
And do more than survive
And do something now
Chorus:
It’s time we
Do Something, do Something
Do Something now
Do Something, do Something
Do Something now
Don’t just bitch and moan
time to get on the phone
to be sure, go knock on doors
It’s forward ho!
Polar bears can’t swim forever
Guns killed 7 kids today
Ten more lies, he’s a Russian spy
Women’s rights are being stripped away
