In Their Honor
There is a house where I go Stands for living true and out in the light It’s a humble place and it’s kindly ways Leaves an open door to doing right It’s not about parting waters And it ain’t about making waves If you’re a stray in the night Won’t you come on in and stay? If he can’t go I’m gonna go for him If she can’t go I’m gonna go for her If they can’t go, I know I’m gonna go for them I will go yeah I will go I will walk right through that door I will go - in their honor I will go He left home a boy, now he’s barely a man Coming back home from war Hiding behind drawn shades His mind and body torn He faces struggle every morning To pour a cup O’ strength to keep going And there ain’t no way he’s gonna pray On a Sunday morning If he can’t go I’m gonna go for him If she can’t go I’m gonna go for her If they can’t go, I know I’m gonna go for them I will go yeah I will go I will walk right through that door I will go - in their honor I will go Missing the man with the mic who was loving And fiercely spoke the truth And for every soul He raised us up before the lord He shined like a beacon and he knew his shit And he took nothing from no one Man, they took him out, Took him home too soon If he can’t go I’m gonna go for him If she can’t go I’m gonna go for her If they can’t go, I know I’m gonna go for them I will go yeah I will go I will walk right through that door I will go - in their honor I will go Good as Dead
Flying down the road With the fuel running low Take a look in the mirror But that ain’t nobody I know I’m hung out to dry And I’m strung up tight, I’m alone I’ve got a roughshod tongue And a haughty head Just a shell of a man With an empty bed Good as dead Good as dead Ain’t no lanes, no limits In a race I’ll never finish Holding tight on the wheel Ain’t no decision as to where I’ll go next Taking corners tight Cutting life with a knife Barren roads I’ve got a roughshod tongue And a haughty head Just a shell of a man With an empty bed Good as dead Good as dead There’s a stranger in my head again Who’s playing games with my life and limb Dreams, youth and hope (gone) I live on the run and chase a setting sun There it goes I’ve got a roughshod tongue And a haughty head Just a shell of a man With an empty bed Good as dead Good as dead The pretender in me won again It’s a little game of tricks and casting spells on me ------ On my head, on my heart, on my soul It is a sin, Deadly sin I’ve got a roughshod tongue And a haughty head Just a shell of a man With an empty bed Good as dead Good as dead Ain't Gonna let it Go
Hey, where’d you take them children After you struck and burned them out You ship em off to a little island Turn ‘em inside out Using ‘em up for your desire Before they can write or read Did you burn ‘ em up in a ritual fire For your devilish dirty deeds Oh no, no no no I ain’t gonna let it go Oh no, no no no We ain’t gonna let it go Forgot your standard protocols As if it was by design Set LA up for failure Empty handed hot and dry Empty pipes, dry watering holes No chance to douse the fire Your decree was to grab What you can and go Unless you want to die Oh no, no no no I ain’t gonna let it go Oh no, no no no We ain’t gonna let it go Hey, what you got against California Getting rid of Paradise? Saint Rose and my little home town Going up in flames Who's to blame? Who's to blame Who's the captain flying the plane Nefarious as hell, I know I'm calling it right Oh no, no no no I ain’t gonna let it go Oh no, no no no We ain’t gonna let it go Coming after you Look at what you done verse one Did you ever think you’ld get it done? Look what a DEW can do verse two, when you got a crew One road in, one road out verse three didn’t have a chance to flee Way off shore looking at my door take a break before we hit verse four Hit a little bit too close to home When you fired on the coast That DEW proved mighty powerful Covered a lot of ground All around us an ocean Took a month to put it out Crawling up and over the mountain ridges Heading toward my house Oh no, no no no I ain’t gonna let it go Oh no, no no no We ain’t gonna let it go

Truth in the Mornin’
I try to get up, go stare at the sun Goin’ barefoot in the grass Heart will open up Letting in the flow Bring a light to everybody I know There’s a truth in the mornin’ That I can’t deny With love as a motive I’m always aligned From two to one My third eye comes alive There’s a truth in the mornin’ When the sun comes back You get a clear clear mind In the early light Makin’ way for the day A Noble Eight Fold Path Becomes you If I choose the right mind set And try to align With the one they call Source Who made the light I get to harmonize with you There’s a truth in the mornin’ When I’m breathing alone See the end and the beginning Still longing for more Illuminate the blind spots Settling the mind like a stone There’s a truth in the mornin' That I can’t deny With my pretty little lady Such love in her eyes That one on one I know the way to heaven’s inside There’s a truth in the mornin’ That I can’t deny With love as a motive I’m always aligned From two to one My third eye comes alive Your Love - all around me Source Love - lives/deep inside me Sunlight - it surrounds me Just the Kind of Girl

Well, I met her at this card room Over on Folsom near 5th Street She smiled through the window My heart, it missed a beat My friend was looking for a deal On a system with DV But as for me, I was taken by this girl She looked so sweet Her name was Maryanne, sweet Maryanne I could see making plans with Maryanne So, we shared a few romantic words In person and in writing You said you loved the woods You got me all excited I knew that I’d met the girl My perfect picture paints for me Everything about you was the girl That I’d imagined you to be Maryanne, Sweet Maryanne I could see making plans with Maryanne So, we made a date to share our quality and parted ways Filled with love’s euphoria She got me dancing in the street Little did I know that was the last time I would see her Where’d you go? Hey, where’d you go? You say you skipped SF for Illinois Disappeared so suddenly Left an e-mail explaining You had some heavy business With the family That was some time ago The days I've since stopped counting Where did you go? Where did you go Oh my sweet Maryanne?? Maryanne, Sweet Maryanne Where are you now, my Maryanne? Why you never called I’ll always wonder I see you in every girl that passes by I can’t break the spell you put me under I was charmed by that look in your eye Maryanne, Sweet Maryanne Where are you now, my Maryanne? Oh Mary… Sweet Maryanne I could see making plans Will I ever be your man Where oh where did you go Oh Sweet Maryanne

We might be going off the deep end I guess it’s better off than dead We see them coming from the lowlands Set the boundary, find the edge We’ll be taking up the highroad We’re always coming out on top They can try but they ain’t ready To confront a gang like us We are 10–0, we’re goin’ off! I know we’re gettin’ off the street, boys Laying low and gettin’ ready Refine your skills, and know your strike zone We’ll make our move when we’re prepared We are 10–0, we’re goin’ off! Don’t get stuck in a rut boys Watch your back and don’t get shot They label us a threat, call us names But that will roll roll roll right off us A TKO ain’t like a knockout punch We are 10–0 and we’re goin’ off! They got big guns and the funding from the State Ain’t got no power over us This ain’t no game for little boys or for the faint of heart Summon the bloodlines of the warriors You’re out there weathering the wicked storm they’ve been brewing up The train is coming off the rails we’re goin’ off! We could lead you into battle, but Our swords are pointing toward the ground (until they’re not!) We shall rise above through devotion To Self, to God, and my brotherly men we’re goin’ off! I am right about how wronged I am Why must I wear the villain’s crown? A TKO ain’t like a knockout punch We are 10–0 and we’re goin’ off! Crabs in a Bucket
I’m like a crab in a bucket They keep pulling me down Makin life hard And they push me around Force me into something I don’t want to do Like crabs in a bucket I’ve been clawing about I’m in hella hot water I been trying to get out Paying 50 cents on every dollar To the man in the suit Work my claws down to nothin’ Every day and every night The boss is on my ass Trying to keep me in line There ain’t a passing day That I ain’t singing the blues I’m stuck in the bucket With a bunch of you dudes Nipping at me And I’m clawing at you Get out or we’re cooked And there ain’t nothing we can do I’m like a crab in a bucket They keep pulling me down Makin life hard And they push me around Force me into some shit I don’t want to do Get a little taste of freedom On a Saturday night Sunday morning comin down And it’s clear in my mind I’m a slave and sinner and It’s worse than doing time in the Shoe Swimming in a crock of debt I got caught in a net My house was a hole It’s under water, I know I crawled away from that mess and now I am labeled a fool Like crabs in a bucket Can’t claw my way out I’m in a situation filled with Peril and doubt A string of mistakes That I’ll cart right into the grave Get a little taste of freedom On a Saturday night Sunday morning comin down And it’s clear in my mind I’m a slave and sinner and It’s worse than doing time in the Shoe Like crabs in a bucket I’ve been clawing about I’m in hella hot water I been trying to get out Paying 50 cents on every dollar To the man in the suit Get a little taste of freedom On a Saturday night Sunday morning comin down And it’s clear in my mind I’m a slave and sinner and It’s worse than doing time in the Shoe I Choose Pain
Today I see no beauty in God or in Nature Today, I do not see color It’s all shades of gray I’m filled with the Devil’s poison And colorful little pills Not an ounce of joy in the halls of this vessel I’m the tree that fell in the forest last night You see me smile? You see me shine? You see me happy? You’re seeing my lies. In this colorless world No hope or a prayer We know there’s a choice I choose to look down Instead of feeling nothing I’m choosing pain You see me smile? You see me shine? You see me happy? You’re seeing my lies You see me smile? You see me shine? You see me happy? You’re seeing my lies. If I were to look forward, Everything would crash down The dirt hits the coffin I’m gasping for air I’m grasping for anything I’m grasping at anything In this colorless world No hope or a prayer We know there’s a choice I choose to look down Instead of feeling nothing I’m choosing pain You see me smile? You see me shine? You see me happy? You’re seeing my lies Instead of feeling nothing I’m choosing pain |

Cherry 67' Chevelle
Ya, I treat her like a lady She blows my mind like a 67’ Chevy Chevelle You got a way with burnin’ rubber My engine’s fueled with your lovin’ all the time I love it when you’re ridin’ with me passenger side Feels like I’m 19 again You go from idle all the way to full throttle With just a little wink and a grin ’75 – what a time! Muscle cars and 3 speed bikes Rally wheels and tube-top girls We were running wild day and night Stopped at a roadside hotel, got a room with a view We started messing around between the pure white sheets I must have died and gone to heaven Floating on a cloud two fifty thread count deep A straight up gentleman, I hold the door for my girl As she melts into the black diamond tuck-n-roll Four barrel carb, feel the 350 rumble Straddling the Hurst T-Handle 4 on the floor ’75 – what a time! Muscle cars and 3 speed bikes Rally wheels and tube-top girls We were running wild day and night Whoa, whoa! (Whoa, whoa) Ready, set, go! (Good to go!) The engine’s hot (and revving up!) It’s time to roll (Let’s get it, girl!) Whoa, whoa! (Whoa, whoa) Ready, set, go! (Good to go!) Got a supped up car and a girl on my arm She’s one of a kind and she’s mine all mine! Hit my top speed at 140 out on Leveroni Road My best quarter mile drag time was a 13.9 Slow crawl and strike a pose, idle at the light Cruisin’ down 4th street on a Saturday Night The heat from the pipes comin’ up through the floor Dual header exhaust makes a thunderous roar She looks at me with those pretty kitty cat eyes Takes my hand off the shifter, moves it to her inner thigh ’75 – what a time! Muscle cars and 3 speed bikes Rally wheels and tube-top girls We were running wild day and night Whoa, whoa! (Whoa, whoa) Ready, set, go! (Good to go!) The engine’s hot (and revving up!) It’s time to roll (Let’s get it, girl!) Whoa, whoa! (Whoa, whoa) Ready, set, go! (Good to go!) Got a supped up car and a girl on my arm She’s one of a kind and she’s mine all mine! The Pig and the Pearl
Don’t give your soul to the dogs The pig will trample your pearls Under its hoof What’s a pig gonna do with pearls, anyway? Remember… they made you wear a muzzle? To walk ten steps to take a seat at the table Once they set you down, you could take it off Ten steps to the bathroom, put it back! In a not–so-distant future – get ready! There will be a new invisible enemy That will require you to give up your rights, Your potential, your common sense, your self-respect In the name of the State, in the name of "The Greater Good" Grown men taking orders From 16-year-old kids An entire generation Brain washed into obedience It was a test To see if they were in control Through their lying, slowly dying, propaganda machine Remember… they made you wear a muzzle? To walk ten steps to take a seat at the table Once they set down you could take off Ten steps to the bathroom, put it back! Do you think they got their answer When they saw everybody comply? Well, let me tell you something. What? It’s all upside down and never what it seems Let me ask you a question. What? What happens next time if you don’t obey? Remember… they made you wear a muzzle? To walk ten steps to take a seat at the table Once they set down you could take it off Ten steps to the bathroom, put it back! Do you think they got their answer When they saw everybody comply? In a not–so-distant future – get ready! There will be a new invisible enemy That will require you to give up your rights, Your potential, your common sense, your self-respect In the name of the State, in the name of "The Greater Good" You can call it “climate change” You can call it “a new variant or virus” You can call it “a brand new gender” Call it whatever you want! But remember this... It's never for the Greater Good. It's never for the Greater Good. Don’t give your soul to the dogs The pig will trample your pearls Under its hoof What’s a pig gonna do with pearls, anyway? Remember… they made you wear a muzzle? To walk ten steps to take a seat at the table Once they set you down, you could take it off Ten steps to the bathroom, put it back! Let me ask you a question. What? What happens next time if you don’t obey? I Wander In the Fall
I think best in Winter I look best in Springtime I walk outside and gather in the Summer I wander in the Fall A spark of love To be as one Deep September was The grasses tall Leaves soon to fall Morning frost on the rails The harvest moon Has past too soon Move into the inner realm The light of day Withers and fades Marching towards the grave Iron gates Mark the tightest space Prayers for a higher grace To see us through The Winter’s night A promise of longer days A new year comes All rise with sun The light will guide our way Through the desert sands Go up to the land Flowing with milk and honey I think best in Winter I look best in Springtime I walk outside and gather in the Summer I wander in the Fall The flowers open And the virgins sing Softly awakens the heart Sun rays pass Through misty rains Kisses me on the belly It reminds me of a Valentine’s day And that true love that resides within me It’s from here we open To all that is possible Stepping into the dream The only horizon That the eye can see A blank page awaits the story In solitude In emptiness Gather up the colors of grief Write words on the page Take the canvas and paint The outcome, never considered The days are long The realms are vast Life is an infinite journey I think best in Winter I look best in Springtime I walk outside and gather in the Summer I wander in the Fall |

Great Scott's Dinner Party
I told you that I had some deep regret in my life You said, “Let go, the past has passed you by! Learn to live in love, and learn to grow, and move it along. You only get to own the moment you’re living in.” We were dizzy dancing at your dinner parties You never let up on the jokes We were laughing all night, I really took it to heart My only wish is that I had more time To share this moment with you You became an ally and let me tag along On our journeys seeking meaning and truth I’m so grateful for the moments, days and nights that we shared And the quest that refined us through and through A part of me died up on the mountain that night And I felt you fully coming alive Broke the grip of the past and threw my bags on the rocks And you, you knew your time had come to cross over We were dizzy dancing at your dinner parties You never let up on the jokes We were laughing all night, I really took it to heart My only wish is that I had more time I wish is I had more time I wish is I had more time To share this moment with you I guess you saw it coming as your ticket expired Can’t understand why you left us at noon We’ll have to live and laugh and presence you again, and again With all my love, friend – I’ll see you soon! We were dizzy dancing at your dinner parties You never let up on the jokes We were laughing all night, I really took it to heart My only wish is that I had more time I wish is I had more time I wish is I had more time To share this moment with you Knucklehead

I was tossed into the world A beautiful boy with curls Had a normie mom and a dad Following rules, following fads They grew up in the nineties Daddy raised by a single mommy Their parents liberated By a high society I used to study my mother She had a thing for the ladies It made me kinda wonder Does my daddy like the boys? I think I was nine years old When he ran off with “Uncle” Keith That was the least of her concerns, cuz She’s tramping around on O.C. Hey girl, give it whirl A chance at makin’ history Bathed in social recognition 100% validation Hey there, big man… Look at me! When we were little kids The neighbor boy his name was Johnny Dressing up in his sisters clothes Raiding his mommy’s makeup bag There I was at 11 spinnin’ and spinnin’ and spinnin’ with questions So god damned boring Zero self-esteem It got the wheels a turnin’ My lovely teacher’s made a suggestion We’re paid to see your potential And who you’re supposed to be! They talked me into blockers Sayin’ “it’ll buy you a little time.” “Take a lot, or take a little, You be you! You get to decide!” Hey girl, give it whirl A chance at makin’ history Bathed in social recognition 100% validation Hey there, big man… Look at me! I joined an activist organization Can’t recall where they got the funding But they paid for my prescription So, I started on the “E” Promoting my inclination And aligned with my disposition Now I see myself in the movies, TV shows And the media mainstream CSR is the engine Driving D&I disillusion The university system Will kick you out if you disagree We’re selling it to the kids in every K-12 classroom Storytime at the library Infiltrating your daughter’s bathroom Hey girl, give it whirl A chance at makin’ history Bathed in social recognition 100% validation Hey there, big man… Look at me!

She came here mid century She was a brightly shining girl 3 older brothers and a sister who looked after her She was the oyster’s pearl A quintessential American scene A page torn from Life Magazine One day she knew her page would fade She’d have to seek the warrior’s way With the wisdom that comes from 14 years She took the step and left her home Hitchin’ rides from California To the Midwest she would roam Met some friends along the way That helped her get set up, and settled down Enter the mentor who gained her trust Then he crushed her priceless crown - she went down The stage is set, the curtain’s drawn The theater’s empty and dark She runs away to find the space To mend her shredded heart What better place for a young girl in the night Than a swingset in the moonlight With a gentle motion back and forth She misses the mother she never had She may not have known it then This became her life’s purpose and work Take the gifts from the trauma and victories from the road Bring them carefully back home For years and years she worked her mill To spin sacred threads into gifts of the soul Rewarded with lifelong allies, gifted teachers True love and children of her own (Day after day, and year after year, her inner voice contends with this: ) Always and forever, through the good times and the bad For better, worse, rich and poor, in sickness and in health To love you and to cherish you until death may do us part Day after day, and year after year She bravely moves with grace welcoming miracles With a full embrace of her autumn years She rejects his disaffection She wants to meet you where you are: Fully present, in rich conversation She’s a fearless warrior who bathes in rays of joy And knows mother earth will hold her She screams at the mountain top, “Not one! Not one more day will pass where I don’t say yes to me!” Always and forever, through the good times and the bad For better, worse, rich and poor, in sickness and in health To love you and to cherish you until death may do us part One day this flashed before her eyes: The years together became our shattered bones Pin cushion

Never Coming Back
You can’t comply your way to freedom It’s inherent in your being Think about the little kid walking through the forest All raveled up in it’s misty mysteries And the joy of splashing in a stream You don’t order champagne without the bubbles in your face In school we learn to bow, back down and get in line May as well make your order a flat soda water Choke the freedom of the spirit Gagged, and bound and chained You give it up, you better know That you’re freely letting go One of the thing that makes you whole When you relent and give control To the “officials” to assert their “authority” We try looking forward looking back is 2020 False flags and deception and a mass infection Censorship is the order of the day What did we learn? What have we lost? What have we gained? Well, these past two years have been literally killer Silence us in cages as they move us through the stages Of the 7 steps to a genocidal tyranny It’s an incremental strip As they rip away our liberties You give it up, you better know That you’re freely letting go One of the thing that makes you whole When you relent and give control To the “officials” to assert their “authority” It's never coming back, never coming back Never coming back, it's never coming back When you give up, you're giving up your liberties You really think they'll give it back When you gave it up for free? It's never coming back, never coming back... you'll see Well, you can’t comply your way to freedom It’s inherent in your being Remember when you ran with your allies hand in hand Drinking in every breath as it was meant to be And the joy of swinging on a swing You don't rely on some other brother To make you your bread and butter You get up, you get dressed, you get out the door on time ... you ain't working for free! You're paying for your rights and your paying for your liberty! You give it up, you better know That you’re freely letting go One of the thing that makes you whole When you relent and give control To the “officials” to assert their “authority” I think that we can all agree These are times we’ve never seen Staying idle, bending over and Conforming doesn't cut it You're complicit in the tyranny! It's never coming back, never coming back Never coming back, it's never coming back When you give up, you're giving up your liberties You really think they'll give it back When you gave it up for free? It's never coming back, never coming back... you'll see Sick
You'll do What you do Stand tall or cower When they come for you I never thought it would come to this I will break your laws, defy your mandates I will stand my ground and draw my gun Before I let you pierce my skin Stand up! Even if you stand alone The time is now! Let's go! You'll do What you do Stand tall or bow When they come for you There's no going back to trust those who govern Will the men and women with a code of honor Rise to defend our freedom from the tyrants We are the lover's of peace, but we are fierce enemies Hands up! Where I can see them! Obey, or you’re in violation Of what? Your fascist oppression? I’m sick of the mass deception Hands up! Fists of opposition Live and die for what you believe in Stand up! Even if you stand alone The time is now! Let's go! You'll do What you do Stand tall or cower When they come for you Recall the optimism when you took the oath “I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm” If you carry it out you retain your reputation and art If you break it, you're destined to be destroyed Hands up! Where I can see them! Obey, or you’re in violation Of what? Your fascist oppression? I’m sick of the mass deception Hands up! Fists of opposition Live and die for what you believe in Stand up! Even if you stand alone The time is now! Let's go! No we won’t No we won’t No we won’t Comply There's no going back to trust those who govern Will the men and women with a code of honor Rise to defend our freedom from the tyrants We are the lover's of peace, but we are fierce enemies Hands up! Where I can see them! Obey, or you’re in violation Of what? Your fascist oppression? I’m sick of the mass deception Hands up! Fists of opposition Live and die for what you believe in Stand up! Even if you stand alone The time is now! Let's go! No we won’t No we won’t No we won’t Comply I am so sick You’re so sick We are all so sick we’re probably going to die You're so sick This world's so sick Somebody come and save us before we all die I’m so sick You’re so sick We're all so sick I'm so sick of it So I’m getting over it!

Hello, I can see you I know where you live Deep down in the lake of fire Swimmin’ in sin Hell no, you ain’t playing harp Or floatin’ on a cloud More likely to find you drinkin’ gin At noon and stumblin’ around the town I’m comin’ to get ya Bring you over to my team We’ve got the best of everything And I know you know what I mean You’re way beyond the gateway It’s embedded in your soul The chase drives your action And scoring is your goal Well, Hell – hell – hello To the Devil I know I’m saying goodbye To the saints that I don’t Fading fast and looking past The one who’s busted and broke Better the Devil I know Than the Saint that I don’t I’m the devil in your heart We both know where it ends and starts Creepin’ around at 4 AM The whole charade falls apart Your family has disowned you And your friends have given up Fallin' back to flippin' tricks And doggin' in the mud You never reached them pearly gates Saint Peter threw you back Said you had some learning left And your qualifications lacked But I see a different man One that gets it, and gets it when he can Make a deal with a guy like me Take my number, you don't work for free Well, Hell – hell – hello To the Devil I know I’m saying goodbye To the saints that I don’t Fading fast and looking past The one who’s busted and broke Better the Devil I know Than the Saint that I don’t You can wear the collar, hair tight and high 3-piece suits and leather boots Play the statesman or a movie star Slumlord in the barrio Whatever line of work you choose Just come home to your roots But remember: You don't work for free But, you work for me Well, Hell – hell – hello To the Devil I know I’m saying goodbye To the saints that I don’t Fading fast and looking past The one who’s busted and broke Better the Devil I know Than the Saint that I don’t |
Hellholes Come and Go
The way we move on The light we learn from We open up a third eye to see When we sit and center crown, connected to the ground Going through a fire thaws a freeze In the heart of hurt you are welcome It’s as one that we stand in the heat When we let our veil down, inner life is found It’s clear and calm and cool give and receive The early wounds are the gifts that keep on giving Let the child out and set them free Frozen and betrayed, passing through the flames Going through a fire thaws a freeze When you’re dancing face to face with your demons The shadow hides in darkness and in fear In the early light you rise, movin' into the fire Melting into tears and release There are 3 things in your life that are certain: There's birth, death and change forever will be The gift is the present and the present is the gift Presence is a fire that thaws a freeze The early wounds are the gifts that keep on giving Let the child out and set them free Now we’ll be moving on, hellholes come and go And we know that fire thaws a freeze Heading Out Now
I’m in a state of being, low and beat I can’t see straight, I’m staring at your feet Acting like a jealous 17-year-old in heat It turns me inside out, it’s got me dropping to my knees I’m going out now to get myself some air If I were to stay you’d only get half of what’s in my head I’m going out now I’m going out now There she goes shootin’ her gun I’m taking one in the heart I’m always in her crosshairs but she don’t know I’m the target From innocence the trigger pulled, bang! Fire! Shot! Wakes a sleeping demon in me crawling out my chest I’m going out now to get myself some air If I were to stay you’d only get half of what’s in my head I’m going out now ’m going out now I’m going down and in and out and around to see what I can scrounge In terms of getting deep into the meat that must be ground I’m going out now I’m going out now I’m in the good fight, I’ve trained and trained to win I still feel the terror as I step into the ring This may be one of those fights that takes a lifetime to resolve Not losing or winning, always ends up in a draw I’m going out now to get myself some air If I were to stay you’d only get ½ of what’s in my head I’m going out now I’m going out now I’m going down and in and out and around to see what I can scrounge In terms of getting deep into the meat that must be ground I’m going out now I’m going out now Get It Get It

Oh Lord, we’ve come to see No more! No way to thee End times of prophecy The church has gone away Hold on! There was a lead He sent to set us free Is this truth or fallacy The church has gone away The church has gone away The church was born of spirit seed The church has been the centerpiece For men and women, children, freaks To find their God, their way The sorrowed man has turned to leave Head hangs low with shame and grief Laid in the doorway of the priory On the steps of God’s good grace Oh Lord, we’ve come to see No more! No way to thee End times of prophecy The church has gone away Here’s a story, “His” story Turns away from the sanctuary The Church rolls over, see the underbelly? Criminals, perverts, thieves The trusted father rapes a child The child, in turn, wears the cloth Grows up wise, becomes a “Man” Wash away the sins, rinse, repeat! Oh Lord, we’ve come to see No more! No way to thee End times of prophecy The church has gone away The church has gone away These men are driven by their lust for power Endless wars and 5G showers Protectionism for the industrial occult Their souls are ruined by deceit and greed The antithesis, or the Antichrist Hides among us in plain sight Relentless, unforgiving screens Distracts the mind in a deep state decoy Oh Lord, we’ve come to see No more! No way to thee End times of prophecy The church has gone away Steals the essence of the soul Leaving hopelessness and gaping holes Empty hearts become empty vessels Leaving shells to be crushed at will Here’s a twist on the Trinity: The church, government and industry High in the Alps hitting reset keys Sacrificing humans in the redwood trees Oh Lord, we’ve come to see No more! No way to thee End times of prophecy The church has gone away The appointed time is here Treason everywhere Wealth and shame - the American harlot Driven by force seeking global dominance Plant the number of the beast under the skin Through the tip of a needle comes a Nuremberg sin I believe Revelation’s one way out Eliminate the government returning us to God Whatever that means to you |
6X6
Bleach the coffee stains out of the cups Giving my own hair a brand new cut I sew my own barrier mask to keep me safe When I go to Safeway Loading up the Zoom call for music lessons History lessons and dance classes Let’s make the best of every minute every day I’m not surprised that we stopped at this place 6 feet apart is better than 6 feet under It makes me wonder how this world’s gonna to change It’s gonna change Let’s make the best of every minute every day I’m not surprised that we stopped at this place 6 feet apart is better than 6 feet under It makes me wonder how this world’s gonna to change It’s gonna change, oh the world is gonna change Takin' the Highway
I drove three hours in the wrong direction Pulled into the State Beach right off the 1 Stepped out of the car Feet started moving Staged us a dancin’ party at dawn Can’t really recall What the hell we were on It must have been the good shit Cuz everybody kept on hangin’ around I’m in I’m gone Blurred lines Which side am I on? Takin’ the highway Shot up into SF Tore down to LA Messed around in West Hollywood And even got laid I could see the 405 From the rooftop lounge Seemed like the whole damn city Was ready to drown Pour me a stiff one Hit me with pills Pass the blade and looking glass I’ll roll up the bill I’m in I’m gone Blurred lines Which side am I on? Takin’ the highway Three days later I’m a pile of bones I asked my girlfriend Who was chasin’ stones Hey, where we been? Where did we go? She said, we drove up to the mountains To get us some snow Flew a hundred miles an hour Back to my hole How we made it through the checkpoints I’ll never know! I’m in I’m gone Blurred lines Which side am I on? The Dog
Lyrics by Willy Mitchell From the shadows, into the dark On a leash, wait for the bark Black Dog creeps, moves in slowly Waits until you’re full-stop lonely Feed The Dog I’m on my own, made it til noon A few more hours, shelter soon Cursed sweat, drenched meat, betrayed my trust I hear the call of the night dog’s lust Feed The Dog Never, never, NEVER give up! Let it rest, it’s only a pup My North Star guides me down to land The hourglass, I watch the passing sands Feed The Dog …As I sit here, so forlorn next to a silent telephone Imagine, a far off and distant land Clenching teeth in both my hands Feed The Dog In this dark corner, I wait for your call Forgive my torment, forgive my drawl I need you to know, I tasted the sand I need you to reach out, take my hand Feed The Dog …I hear you friend, we’re in this together what we’ve lost, it’s not lost forever? Dark clouds and thunderous skies I’m listening, and hearing you asking why Feed The Dog My body floods with adrenaline Pushes back to the night Dog’s den Heartbeat rammed up in my throat Fighting back – losing hope |
Rattler
Print more money. I need more bombs. Ear to the ground, the march is on Settle up Sam, cover your sins Cash is coming home, you’re looking thin Claim what you can as you rattle the cage Step up to the mic prez, take a shot Meet with the Fed to plan and plot You and your buddies will seize the day! Hop into the fiat and speed away From the dirty poor to the filthy rich it’s all the rage Claim what you can as you rattle the cage Heads of distraction are laying it on Fill it full of bacon then abandon the farm The Shepherd and the Marshall are taking stock The debt on our shoulders is crushing the bank The old smoke and mirrors trick will no longer works It’s a mighty smart move to get back to the dirt In ‘71 we came out of the woods Then the 80’ Big-Bang pushed us right off the cliff From the dirty poor to the filthy rich it’s all the rage Claim what you can as you rattle the cage Credit and base money own the stage Someone’s got to pay at the end of the day From the dirty poor to the filthy rich it’s all the rage Claim what you can as you rattle the cage Trimmed printed money suits are keeping them cool The Central Banks are inflatable tools Dumping fresh-inked cash into the vaults Better use it up before it ain’t worth salt Printed more money so I picked up speed Our angle shooting muckle tricks are doggin’ me Come on now, don’t fail on my watch Keeping my fingers and my arms crossed From the dirty poor to the filthy rich it’s all the rage Claim what you can as you rattle the cage Credit and base money own the stage Someone’s got to pay at the end of the day From the dirty poor to the filthy rich it’s all the rage Claim what you can as you rattle the cage Rattle… Caught In The City
I’m walking home Hayes Laguna Oak Hills I have to climb Behind dark windows TV glowing bright The heart and the mind Chained/Opened at the same time Boots hit the pavement With power and with grace Two steps forward, one step back Did I turn the right way? This city is a nightmare A blessing in disguise Burned in the fire The phoenix will rise Chasing the night Fanning and stoking the flames! Lonely Scared yet alive Fear for the darkness, afraid of the light Don’t want to talk about The things that stress me out I’ll only let you down When my face hits the ground Tried to stack my cards On the surface, straight in line I showed up on most nights All lit up like the city lights When I laid her down to die My core was frozen ice Though I couldn’t face it then I vowed to never run and hide When I saw the angel So innocent and chaste I could have gone one of two ways The present or to my grave I finally made it home Each step I take I own Strike with words that leave a bruise The blade cuts clean and pierces through Every man and every woman At some time in their lives Holds their head low Sink into the bitter mire Pressing down closing in These prison walls are paper thin I hear everybody thinking Can I get out alive? We’re looking for a shred of love It’s all the same to you and me We want it all, but we’ll take a dime If I get it … the world will be mine Confined within the limits Of this city day and night The fullness and the emptiness As one they coincide I’ve walked the stairway to the stars But tripped up the first flight So, I’m captive to the learning Repeating wrong and right The Things You Miss
I was thinking we were evolution That we were half past the need for revolution I miss going our separate ways for the day Then coming back together I miss our long talks in the coffee shop When we thought it was a much safer world I miss holding the people that I love Going for a beer at the pub! (HERE WE GO!) Here we go, here we go … spinning out of control I miss my false belief that danger was on hold I miss nights’ sans the bad dreams A little time alone, In my house, Alone… A little time alone! GO, Go, GO! Maybe it’s high time we slow it down? GO, Go, GO! I miss the grand kids, school kids, my cool kids Thrift stores for new clothes and going to the show I miss marathons, the sauna and my dirty hands! Maybe it’s high time we slow it down? (HERE WE GO!) GO, Go, GO! I was thinking we were evolution That we were half past the need for revolution I miss holding the people that I love Maybe it’s high time we slow it down? GO, Go, GO! I miss our long talks in the coffee shop When we thought it was a much safer world I miss holding the people that I love Maybe it’s high time we slow it down? GO, Go, GO! |
All I Ever Wanted
20/30/40/50/60 times around the sun All I ever want is to be with you A life of celebration Born in a time of free love Turning on, tuning in, dropping out Voices well-intentioned Pure as the southern oceans Breathing in, breathing out Always seeking the truth I loved my skateboard, red jeans and blue Vans I love my bike and doing jumps at the Dykes This life is a celebration We found real love Turn it on, pull me in, bringing out (the best in me) Each day’s the first day Each kiss the first kiss I meet your soul when I meet your lips Always searching for you I love the sweet times, the motion of our lives I love our shared lives – a look into your eyes Leaders Breeders Cheaters Hey Mister… got any change? Divisive ways got us living in chains Breaking down the people Cutting the threads Sever your ties to your Network of friends Here’s a free ticket to ride till you drop Once you’re on the bus No one gets off!

Just stop. ride till you drop – no one gets off! Thread The Needle
When I wrote that song, way, way back in the day I dig the number 6 because it hooked so many ways Ways to summon evil thoughts, ways to face down death Ways to come out fighting never taking second best We walk on through the graveyard in the middle of the night Fill our heads with illicit drugs to the fullest of delight We’d roll into the town square take a seat up on the bench Smell of roses, sweat and weed, oh it was quite the stench Do you’ll remember 3-finger Steve and the stories he would tell? He said he was a hypnotist and could talk to God himself! He’d buy us beer and cigarettes and hang out with the crew Always had a bag of fried chicken, he was a weird ass fuckin dude! (Rest in Peace, Steve!) It was times like these that inspired me to question what I see Like Reagan and the Pope, the industrial war machines Had nothing but a creative streak; a spark I could ignite I wanted answers when I heard a song not just more questions why Though I love the groovy style of the 1970’s The grit and guts and in-your-face of the 80’s was our scene – that’s why I’m… Threading the needle, finding the discord, striking a balance in this place Threading the needle, ain’t toeing no line, your days are numbered, so are mine Threading the needle for my time We said, “FUCK YOU” to The Man in an anarchistic scream We followed it up with music that addressed the shit we’d seen The lies, lies and more lies and lying to my face From politicians and my boss, mom and dad’s disgrace The fucking depraved preachers all fed into the sound Taking down the Western Front was what we were all about – that’s why I’m… Threading the needle, finding the discord, striking a balance in this place Threading the needle, ain’t toeing no line, your days are numbered, so are mine Threading the needle, biding time Threading the needle, finding the discord, striking a balance in this place Threading the needle, live in the right, please don’t let them demons run your life Threading the needle for our time I Can’t See Your Face!
I’m gonna do whatever I want I’m gonna say what I want to say It’s life, my will, our time, my deal I’m gonna play what I’m gonna play Welcome in the Raging 20’s We roared last time around Crisis across the planet Virus leaving the White House I’m gonna keep it going Call in a body of work Each year, 10 songs, 10 years, catalog Commentary catalyst, who cares, I care I know we face extraordinary times Divided we fall, i-so-la-tion There’s nothing to fear but fear itself I can’t see your face! |
