Lyrical Tease
What did I miss? Nothing much:
People still get born, and then they get old,
while OJs’ search for the killers has grown pretty cold.
What did I miss? Nothing much:
the Macarena, and Double Dutch, nothing much.

Lyrical Tease
Daddy, why’s a man gotta where a hood?
Let’s just say he’s up to no good
Daddy, why’s a man gotta ride at night?
He hates hisself so much, he’s trying to feel right
Daddy, why’s a man hanging from a tree?
Why that’s no man, that’s an angel set free

Lyrical Tease
I’m no ordinary visionary, my hindsight’s 20-20
I can tell you tomorrow what you did wrong today
I’m no ordinary visionary, if you read between my lines, you’ll see
The advice I give to everyone else is really meant for me

Lyrical Tease
It happens every time I start the mating waltz
The Love Arrow flies, but Cupids’ aim is false
He always misses her, while my heart is struck
I’m Cupids’ sitting duck; this is why life sucks

I wanna free you like a hurricane frees the wind
I wanna lead you back before original sin
I wanna lift you beyond your purgatory
I’m gonna make you my bedtime story

I’m not an educated man, I work with my hands, but there’s one thing that I know:
Big Business eats all the donuts, then leaves us with the holes
C’mon, give us a little justice, along with all the larceny
Then I’ll know life was meant for living beyond its warranty
How come “10,000 CEOs laid off” is a headline we’ll never see?

I’ve got 500 channels of hi-def TV, Dis-information in crystal clarity,
The rise of American idiocy, Home of the neo-con consent factory,
in my so-called democracy

Lyrical Tease
Riding in my tank, I might call an air strike
Some might say that’s unsportsman-like
Sometimes I make mistakes, but there’s nothing I can do
’cause you gotta kill them before they kill you
Salute me, prosecute me, why not just take my gun and shoot me,
Cause I don’t think I’ll make it out alive..

I love Alive.
It reminds me of a soldier I once meet on a trip to florida within the terminal of the airport. He was holding his 2 year old daughter he to return home before he left for Iraq again. As I was speaking to him he had expressed his fears while he was serving in Iraq and his fears going back. This song is very real!
Plus you have an amazing vocalist and lyricist!

Wow, Rob! Thanks for turning me on to your music. Good stuff
Loved your lyrics.
I especially loved the lyrics on “This Is Why Life Sucks”. My life’s story.
Although I think that changing tempos & dynamics in the songs might have improved them musically. On some of the angrier songs (ie; “My So-Called Democracy”), I might have used a more “punkish” electric guitar style & a faster tempo, but that’s just me. after all, I’m a big Sex Pistols & Ramones fan.
Thanx, Jeff.
Re MSCDemocracy: my intent was to create a classic protest song a la Phil Ochs, Dylan, therefore it’s gotta be acoustic. I mixed it up a bit w/some overdriven guitar in starting in the 2nd verse.
But, yeah, a punk version could also do the song right.
I love ‘recasting’ songs; we regular perform ‘reggified’ versions of pop classics, like ‘What So Funny..’, ‘Don’t Lemme Be Misunderstood,’ et. al.
Thanx for commenting.
Thanx, Doll!!
I don’t know anything about Bob Dylan or David Byrnes, but I know I like our music. Can i get th CD.
