Oh, yeah, just a little wound-up
How ’bout some more
Oh, yeah, just look where you wound-up
Need I say more?
Oh, yeah, glad that I found out
Less stress no doubt
Oh yeah, get a little wound-up
And then some more
The dog’s in the dog house
What “quite as a mouse”?
Found out wound-up is where I want to be
Will you merry me?
Capture a glimpse of civilization
A bit too late for procrastination
Maybe you better sweat it a bit
Before we all take a hit
The dog’s in the dog house
What “quite as a mouse”?
Found out wound-up is where I want to be
Will you merry me?

Your dark cloud… lifted

In part, due to broken heart
Have wound. Need licks.

Your relevancy
In eternity

ABOUT THE
The Star of Bethlehem, or Christmas Star, appears only in the nativity story of the Gospel of Matthew, where “wise men from the East” are inspired by the star to travel to Jerusalem. “For we have seen His star in the East [or at its rising] and have come to worship Him.”
There they meet King Herod of Judea, and tell him they are heading to Bethlehem to pay homage to the newborn king of the Jews. Herod calls his scribes and priests who confirm to him that a verse from the Book of Micah interpreted as a prophecy, states that the Jewish Messiah would be born in Bethlehem to the south of Jerusalem. Secretly intending to find and kill the Messiah in order to preserve his own kingship, Herod invites the wise men to return to him on their way home.

Eat logic raw

]]>That’s one fearsome wind
Blowin’ in
Leaving the flow
Of an icicle
You know…
Where tears of joy have been
Moving out of reach
From the Reaper’s sickle
Soon we’ll discover
The storm’s blown over
Soon the winds will calm
And the threat will move on
To once again enjoy
Our tears of joy
Moving into reach
Of the owning of each
Now we found out
What life’s all about
Feelings that giving makes
Out-weighs those from the takes
Getting what you deserve
Depends on how you serve
Knowing we won’t miss
The spirit of Christmas

]]>Doing the dance
Along the circumference
Of the circle of life
Don’t know where to begin
Then, again
Don’t know where to end
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows
Doing the dance
Along the circumference
Of the circle of life
Keep it low on strife
Keep it high ’round the bend
Don’t know where to begin
Then, again
Don’t know where to end
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows
Searching for the part
Where does it start
Getting a little skittish
’bout finding the finish
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows

]]>As one that has always marveled
At a road less traveled
I love the pace of a race
Blasting off in outer space
Time to get ’round
To our countdown
10,9,8
Too late to wait
Bored to death here on Earth
Ready for interstellar birth
Fly right on by
Our blue sky
None to soon
Zoom past the moon
Time to get ’round
7,6,5
Into overdrive
4,3,2,1
It’s how the race is run
It’s how the race is won
It’s how the race is one

Jack Frost’s creeping
Jack Frost’s nipping
Your nose knows
And, we don’t want Jack
To bite tonight
North wind’s blowing
Winter’s coming

Stars are shinning
And, we don’t want Jack
To bite tonight
Painting patterns in vain
On our window pane
Grace with lace… icing
As angels sing

There’s a greener pasture
No, I’m not sure
Hence
Then on this side of the fence
My circumstance
The date to appreciate
The date is immediate
The rate we’ll accelerate
Before it’s too late
Turning green
With an envy sheen
Know what I mean?
Cries and moans
Keeping up with the Jones
Cries and moans
Just for fun
Bet you can’t eat just one
One and done
Eyes will bake
More than tummy can take
The date to appreciate
The date is immediate
The rate we’ll accelerate
Before it’s too late

With a battle scar
Battle scarred
Rattled n’ marred
No more raping and pillaging
Going back for more
Coming back from afar
Forget who you are?

Find our way clear

What this is?
Entertainment
… some sort-of show biz?
Can anybody tell me
Is this the show?
Can somebody tell me
I want to know
Somehow
I thought there’d be more
Than Sodom and Gomorrah
Alt-right and spite
Blood and gore

If it’s alright

Write
… a better ending:
Love and the message sending
If complete, something sweet
You join in, too?

From which I can’t escape
Now to feed
On tumbleweed
And for dessert desert

Rubbing me the wrong way
Hey!

Gotta live abrasive

For a mouth free of dust

I’d love to love near to here

A little too long
Not exactly sure

Saved from the gallows

]]>Will the wolf pack
Have a heart attack
when they have to come clean
’bout being obscene
Want my money back
’cause your service lacks
Official my ass
You’ve got no class
An upheaval
It’s the principle
Of the matter
That matters
A surprising uprising
When you lay down with sleaze
Are you going to get fleas
Leave ’em the keys
And monkey flees
What are you going to do
Animals running the zoo
Watch your step
Poo up to your hip

]]>Are you still the same
Or going more insane
Membrane getting lame
Growing more insane
Take a step back
Catch the breath you lack
Prey for the day
Capture the allure
Be the cure
Rest assure
Are you growing old
A story never told
Has your heart grown cold
As you sold your soul
While I still can breath
Going to believe
There is no better way
Than living for today

Once in a century’s crime
Once the cow jumps the moon

Coming again so soon?
Once in a lifetime
“Once” begins to loom
I’m falling into some childhood nursery rhyme
Coming again so soon?

We’ve made out of me?
Because this is not my destiny
(No, this ain’t my destiny)
Surely
Moving up
To a higher vibration
Moving up
To a higher elevation
Gonna shed this monkey suit
It’s time I “do it”
Time to wring
The monstrosity out of me
Take wing
From your destiny
Is see
It’s time to be me

New York Times Photo of a Starving Child in Yemen
LYRICS
We’ve got ourselves one hell-of-a situation
One nation… divided….
Where’s the God? (How odd)
Are the children all invisible
How is it possible
Without a single care about their air
While the yes-men are starving them in Yemen
Amen?
Giving up on that is where I’m at
A women
I concede is the touch we need
What about the grandchildren?
The massive debt we’ve left for them
Shot our load watching bombs explode
Stubborn fools burning fossil fuels
While the yes-men are starving them in Yemen
Amen?
Giving up on that is where I’m at
A women
I concede is the touch we need

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about children… and Facebook removing a New York Times picture of a 7-year-old girl named Amal that is starving to death due to the war in Yemen.
“Photo of a Starving Girl in Yemen Prompts Facebook to Remove Posts of Article”
For a few hours after The New York Times published an article about conflict and hunger in Yemen, Facebook temporarily removed posts from readers who had tried to share the report on the social platform.
At issue was a photograph of a starving child.

In some foreign way
“Take me to your leader”

“You mean the bottom feeder?”

Hey, hey what is your deal
They said you were coming this way
They said get out of your way
They said You’d have alien ways
And rob all of our days
Please don’t take me to task
And be so bold to ask
“Can you take me to your leader?”
ABOUT THE SONG
A song about immigrants and the “migrant caravan”.
In 2014, there were about 600,000 immigrants that became citizens. There are no numbers under the new administration but the forecast is bleak. In any event, adding 1 new worker for every 500 existing workers is better than nothing; however, it is still inadequate to compensate for our aging population.
An even bigger problem for the economy are the “other” migrant workers, such as, “H-2A Temporary Agricultural Workers” and other low paid workers… right now the USA has millions of low-pay jobs we can not fill. Mostly work that had been performed by migrant labor (that US citizens do not want to do.) The current administration has all but eliminated these types of immigrants. So, now that we can not fill the jobs with taxpaying, SS paying, etc. migrant workers, businesses suffer losses and our economic system suffers losses. Perhaps we will find a few US citizens to take jobs they don’t want to do (though the 6 million jobs have gone unfilled for many months.) More likely, the jobs will be eliminated altogether by AI and robotics. Either way, it is a loss and cost for the US economy in the short and long term.

ABOUT THE SONG
This is a song about immigration.
Old, unhealthy… in fact, “dying slowly” demographics are/our not the soul-ution to your economic problems.
[hint: immigrants (both documented and undocumented are a substantial benefit with little to no cost.)]
As our population ages, we need young and healthier people joining the work force. They are the ones we need to fund our pensions, social security, medicare, health care, national debt, etc. Unfortunately, the people my age have squandered our savings. Now, we need population growth to save us. (e.g. Germany and 1,000,000 immigrants to help solve their problem.)
And then, there is the problem with low paid workers… right now the USA has a millions of low-pay jobs they can not fill. Mostly work that use to be performed by migrant labor that US citizens do not want to do. so, now that we can not fill the jobs with taxpaying, SS paying, etc migrant workers, businesses suffer losses. Perhaps we will find a few people to take the jobs they don’t want to do… and under-perform. More likely, the jobs will be eliminated altogether by AI and robotics. In any event, both a loss and cost for the US economy in the short and longterm.

Creating knew soul

Is causing you ill

Try again

Perhaps we’re standing

Scaredy-cat turns green
Can you see the envy
Know what I mean?
See his face turning red
Just because of what I said
You can add some blue
If it makes you sad
That he turned mad
Royal purple clad
If it was only black and white
It’d be easy to see what’s right
It’s apparent it’s not transparent
Until we’re all color blind
We won’t be kind

]]>What has it come to
Reboot overdue
When everyone you know
Wants to turn into foe
Seems it’s getting mighty thick
With the modern hypocrite
I just don’t get it
No not a bit
Human habit
Oh take me to a place
With a humane human race
These cats have turned to dogs
And the greediest of hogs
[interlude]
So with whatever I have left
I will offer as a gift
Hope to give a lift
I love you
And hope you make it through
I do

2 steps back
Ahh but I digress
On how we regress
The past — sordid
The future black
Ahh but I digress
On how we regress
(chorus)
Come lay your hands
We can fix this mess
One understands
The ultimate test of tests
Running in circles
Searching for miracles
Ahh but I digress
On how we regress
De-evolution
Hardly a solution
Ahh but I digress
On how we regress

They are trying to control this distribution
They are trying to rule this distribution
They are trying to define our distribution
That can not be defined

ABOUT THE SONG
This is a song about the Music Modernization Act and the industry’s attempt to define what they want to control — “streaming music”.
Ever since the 1920’s when the mafia would shakedown speakeasies for royalties, the music industry has attempted to control the distribution of music. In the 70’s, they tried to control the “taping” of music. In the 2000’s, they tried to control music downloads with lawsuits against NAPSTER and little old ladies.
“On September 8, 2003, the recording industry sued 261 American music fans for sharing songs on peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, kicking off an unprecedented legal campaign against the people that should be the recording industry’s best customers: music fans. Five years later, the recording industry has filed, settled, or threatened legal actions against at least 30,000 individuals. These individuals have included children, grandparents, unemployed single mothers, college professors….” (Electronic Frontier Foundation)
Now, they are trying to control “streaming” music. What does this mean? Radio stations that stream their programming? Musicians that stream their music to videos?
The ongoing problems and lawsuits of trying to define what they control will likely be detrimental to musicians and music for decades to come.

]]>Keep on letting it go (Letting it go)
And before you know
It’s too late
The weight of the wait
Gone. So long.
No, I won’t go wrong
Grab the bull by the horns
Going to see if he learns
Before it’s too late
The weight of the wait
Gone. So long.
Hey, now Miss… missed her (Mister)
What should I infer
It’s too late
The weight of the wait
Gone. So long.

Can you help calm things down?
You know
This bucking bronco
Dropping the bomb
Like Yoko
And the Beatles
Until the Beatles
Are beatless
Know no
No-no
Na, na
Hiroshima
Nagasaki
It’s killing me

]]>Can I believe my eyes
The pie’s the same size
I’m starting to realize
… they’ve cut my slice twice
They say they have to pay
Someone to count the pie
Scratchin’ my head… why?
… er, a… say…
Why do I have to pay
The pie/per
With a slice of my slice?
Your answer does not suffice
No dice!
MMA MIA
DOA
Say why’s my money MIA
Hey!
ABOUT THE SONG
For years, the music moguls, executives, record companies and other middlemen in music have been trying to pass this law – MMA
The new law creates a “modern” music management company [Collective Management Organization (CMO)] staffed mainly by existing music management.
All artists must pay the new entity.
The new law also creates royalties for producers… even if you don’t currently pay a producer, you do now. Even if you are a musician that produces your own music, you will pay these other producers.
There is no increase in gross income. There is no increase in revenue.
All existing artists that get a share of the money will now have to give royalties to music companies that weren’t getting paid for music recorded before 1972. Though they will be paid by you, you will not be allowed to cover their material without paying them again.
In conclusion:
Out of all artists/musicians share of the existing gross income,
artists will pay these other people… BY LAW.
(As a result, all independent artists will see a decrease in their net income/share.)
Meet your new boss. Same as the old boss… unless you are… I mean were an independent artist. In that case, meet your boss. You are no longer independent.
