The Nameless

 The Nameless

 

There was a man who did the time without the crime                       

Rich man laughs walking down the street can’t spare a dime           

On La Rue Avenue he plays the blues for free                                  

She sings and brings all the things of her reality                               

 

We are the nameless but we have names

We are the players but these ain’t games

And the government is full of shames

We are the nameless but we have names

 

Once I was Pharoah but that was a long time ago

I don’t get out that much maybe a disco

Hannibal is marching the elephants are dreaming

Armies being trampled no telling whose screaming

 

We are the nameless but we have names

We are the players but these ain’t games

And the government is full of shames

We are the nameless but we have names

 

America the empire who never lost in a war

America the empire it’s Babylon the Whore

They called them Indians but Columbus got lost

They called them Indians I’m still counting the cost

 

A summers day on the burning plantation field

Singing songs of freedom the spirit won’t yield

A vision of glory Jesus carrying his cross

“Come on you slaves work harder” yells out the big boss

 

We are the nameless but we have names

We are the players but these ain’t games

And the government is full of shames

We are the nameless but we have names

 

Billionaires want to shoot rocket ships out to Mars

Paupers are hooting coveting electric guitars

And poets like me write songs trying to give hope

They’ll hang themselves for sure just give them enough rope

 

We are the nameless but we have names

We are the players but these ain’t games

And the government is full of shames

We are the nameless but we have names

Fool’s Gold

 

Fool’s Gold

 

I sold my soul only for fool’s gold

I wasn’t supposed to have grown old

The happiness was never gonna end

And I’d always have a good friend

 

Here comes Louie to make a deal

Got a dream bro I can make it real

Just be careful what you wish for

Cause so few truly know the score

 

She fell out of a porno magazine

Forever and ever eighteen

I was king and she was queen

Do you know what I really mean

 

Here comes Louie to make a deal

Got a dream bro I can make it real

Just be careful what you wish for

Cause so few truly know the score

 

We had a mansion and we had a yacht

So many good times I forgot

Money was endless we had everything

Except a reason for living

 

Here comes Louie to make a deal

Got a dream bro I can make it real

Just be careful what you wish for

Cause so few truly know the score

 

Somewhere shifting in the shadows lives a happy man

He helps everybody and everyone whenever he can

He don’t keep score because numbers add up to zero

The king of kings why he’s the eternal hero

 

Aching faking it while on the go

Life is nothing but an endless show

But I fear the grave will bring no relief

My happiness has been stolen by a thief

 

Here comes Louie to make a deal

Got a dream bro I can make it real

Just be careful what you wish for

Cause so few truly know the score

I Ain’t Dead

I Ain’t Dead

 

Sally was a sweetheart with a permanent smile                     

She had holes in her jeans but only for style                         

One day I’m going to catch a bus going west                       

Gonna go to the Promised Land it’s the best                         

 

Who catches superman when he falls

We all must listen when God calls

Nietzsche is rewriting what he said

God is laughing, Bro I ain’t dead

 

They used to mockme right in front of my face

But I found Jesus Christ overflowing with grace

Sally would give a goodbye kiss never to budge

Losers are winners but tell me who’s to judge

 

Who catches superman when he falls

We all must listen when God calls

Nietzsche is rewriting what he said

God is laughing, Bro I ain’t dead

 

Sally wants to be a starlet she has her goals

The road is rough especially if it got holes

The director said this movie is rated X

Sally walked out the door she needed respect

 

Who catches superman when he falls

We all must listen when God calls

Nietzsche is rewriting what he said

God is laughing, Bro I ain’t dead

 

I remember reading how King Saul was an unhappy flake

David was going to be king and that was hard to take

And God sits on His throne watching it all go down

But where was God when Traci Lords walked into town?

 

Sally went to Berkley to study philosophy

Her final exam was “What was Jim Morrison’s reality?”

Sally still laughs but it ain’t loud anymore

I believe in winning but how do you score

 

Who catches superman when he falls

We all must listen when God calls

Nietzsche is rewriting what he said

God is laughing, Bro I ain’t dead

Run Cindy Run

Run Cindy Run

 

Cindy was chasing the white rabbit down the hole                           

She thought he’d stolen something maybe her soul                          

What do you mean getting endless money’s not the goal                  

Why else would we want to take complete control                           

 

Run Cindy run for your life

Rabbits were born for strife

Watch out Bugs got a knife

Run Cindy run for your life

 

I’m innocent she says unbuttoning your shirt

I’m here to heal you baby so where does it hurt

Another cosmic encounter a stab into the void

Even in a crash landing our hopes aren’t destroyed

 

Run Cindy run for your life

Rabbits were born for strife

Watch out Bugs got a knife

Run Cindy run for your life

 

Cindy was lost as she came to the crossroads of this ordeal

There was a street sign reading “Nothing is really real”

That’s sort of using a double negative she exclaimed

Why it must be the coyotes that are truly to blame

 

Run Cindy run for your life

Rabbits were born for strife

Watch out Bugs got a knife

Run Cindy run for your life

 

Hear the wind blow it comes hot and cold

You don’t know youth until you’re old

Martin became a banker’s whore

He sits in his mansion cheering on the war

 

The feminist cried revolution is not only a man’s thing

True said Cindy but I really don’t want to be king

Meanwhile the rabbit escaped into the carrot field

One day the mathematics professors are going to yield

 

Run Cindy run for your life

Rabbits were born for strife

Watch out Bugs got a knife

Run Cindy run for your life

A Love Song

 A Love Song

 

I don’t know where I’m going

But I know it’ll be with you

I don’t know what’s true

But I believe in you

 

And this is a love song I sing

Thanks for the love you bring

You are the queen and I am the king

Laughter means everything

And this is a love song I sing

 

I’m hurting and I know you are too

We’ll carry that cross together

One and one makes two

Every day just gets better

 

And this is a love song I sing

Thanks for the love you bring

You are the queen and I am the king

Laughter means everything

And this is a love song I sing

 

I have dreams can dreams come true

I believe in dreams I have you

I have dreams can dreams come true

To love each other that’s what we’ll do

 

And this is a love song I sing

Thanks for the love you bring

You are the queen and I am the king

Laughter means everything

And this is a love song I sing

An Odd Bet

An Odd Bet

 

Harley Davidson black leather jacket hot blonde holding tight                    

Cruising down the freeway on the way to the bar or a fight                          

My Mustang motor roared I was feeling well under my age                        

Put the pedal to the floor and passed the biker in a rage                               

 

At best it was an odd bet

Life is a chance sometimes you regret

Trick of the thing is to get better yet

At best it was an odd bet

 

I flipped the biker the finger disregarding the danger

The day was already strange and it was just getting stranger

I yelled out the window loud as I could “How does my dust taste!!??!”

I had put down all of my cards the last one a dirty ace

 

At best it was an odd bet

Life is a chance sometimes you regret

Trick of the thing is to get better yet

At best it was an odd bet

 

Ever since the Neanderthal survival was the primary game

A man can always turn the other cheek but that carries shame

The biker was coming up quickly sickly out of his mind

Anger mixed with ample hatred made both of the dude’s eyes blind

 

At best it was an odd bet

Life is a chance sometimes you regret

Trick of the thing is to get better yet

At best it was an odd bet

 

In the great prairies the coyote hunts the sacred buffalo

Life is for the living but please enjoy the show

If things always made sense then logic would be king

I turned up the radio and let Buddy Holly sing

 

So he pulled up next to me cursing some foul words full of jive

I blew him a kiss and proceeded to pull out my forty-five

There is a moment of deepest reason when peace conquers war

In a flash as if in a mad crash I saw the man no more

 

At best it was an odd bet

Life is a chance sometimes you regret

Trick of the thing is to get better yet

At best it was an odd bet

Accident Waiting To Happen

Accident Waiting To Happen

 

Lovely lady in a black negligee                                 

Down on your knees boys that’s how we pray          

Sadly sobbing without any tears                                

Truth is often the worst of your fears                         

                                   

Only volunteers for this mission

An accident waiting to happen

Blind leading the blind’s ambition

An accident waiting to happen

 

She led me by the hand like a stray dog

The penthouse view was merely gray fog

Shall I order wine or let it pass

Come now darling I live life fast

                                   

Only volunteers for this mission

An accident waiting to happen

Blind leading the blind’s ambition

An accident waiting to happen

 

Heart beating my cheating side quickly fell

They promise heaven then give you hell

An angel from a magazine page

I roared like a lion in a cage

                                   

Only volunteers for this mission

An accident waiting to happen

Blind leading the blind’s ambition

An accident waiting to happen

 

The rocket ship was sending cosmonauts to Jupitar

In the void of space they played an acoustic guitar

From millions of miles away Earth was a speck in the sky

Opening her mouth to scream she let go a gentle sigh

 

Caught in that sleepy place where two worlds merge

She had the right looks I had the urge

Fantasy is a secret never told

I woke up alone feeling old

                                   

Only volunteers for this mission

An accident waiting to happen

Blind leading the blind’s ambition

An accident waiting to happen

The Inevitable Disappointment Of Pants

 The Inevitable Disappointment Of Pants

 

Drunk and lonely she was an angel of eleven            

I hadn’t made love since I don’t know when            

Prowling growling the lion was on the hunt              

I decided on a strategic attack from the front

 

Clumsy fingers frustrating my chance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

Our love is a victim of circumstance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

 

“Hey baby come here often” it was my opening line

“I believe in God now cause girl you’re divine”

She giggled and smiled slowly growing her grin

I screamed “Heaven’s doors are open I’m coming in”

 

Clumsy fingers frustrating my chance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

Our love is a victim of circumstance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

 

When the storms are raging and the wounds are fresh

See the vampires circling for some innocent flesh

I’m a pilgrim seeking the land of Shang Li Ra

I love mother and wish that I knew my Pa

 

I woke up alone I guess nothing’s ever new

All the cash in my wallet it was missing too

The Bible says as you reap so shall you sow

There are some secrets that you don’t want to know

 

Clumsy fingers frustrating my chance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

Our love is a victim of circumstance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

I Love You With A Smile

 I Love You With A Smile

 

After the sun sets the desert gets cold                        

There are many regrets when you’re old                   

I could have been the king with the right song          

Fame and fortune don’t go to the strong                    

 

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

That you being you made life worthwhile

Thanks for the hand I held during the trial

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

 

Tyrone comes to church late just like last time

Never mind the bill this one’s on God’s dime

Go inside the words of life I will toss

I love you so much now here take your cross

           

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

That you being you made life worthwhile

Thanks for the hand I held during the trial

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

 

The devil’s in the pulpit preaching a storm

He’ll promise you heaven if you conform

All the little fascists with shiny boots

The lawyers and bankers are in cahoots

 

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

That you being you made life worthwhile

Thanks for the hand I held during the trial

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

 

A long time ago I stopped writing songs about true love

I once searched the Earth for an angel now I look above

I think I’ll put Erika in the song to make Evan happy

I don’t know what you call the new music but it’s snappy

 

The best thing is that we can say yes or no

But the sun will rise and the wind will blow

I’m growing my hair long in rebellion

Even the righteous have their moments of sin

 

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

That you being you made life worthwhile

Thanks for the hand I held during the trial

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

There Must Be Another Way

 There Must Be Another Way

 

Well nine to five are you really alive             

I wish the dinosaurs had survived                  

I’d get a T Rex to devour my boss                 

That wouldn’t be a terrible loss                     

 

I wake up in the morning every day

There must be another way

I echo the words the poet’s say

There must be another way

 

Izzy the spaceman was in a dizzy mood

I’d like to do planet Earth some good

Nuclear fusion would help them in their toil

But all the leaders control by oil

 

I wake up in the morning every day

There must be another way

I echo the words the poet’s say

There must be another way

 

I remember Adam Bomb he wasn’t really that cool

Just another face in the yearbook back from high school

Sorry to say the other day Adam went to meet the Lord

Why is it we never think hell’s the eternal reward?

 

I read the Bible can you say it again?

From Genesis one to Revelation’s amen

Straight and narrow is the path we must find

All others they’re the blind following the blind

 

I wake up in the morning every day

There must be another way

I echo the words the poet’s say

There must be another way

 

There is a cross an emblem of dark doom

Death is like fire they both consume

The grave is empty it’s not a lie

The grave is empty and love’s the reason why

 

I wake up in the morning every day

There must be another way

I echo the words the poet’s say

There must be another way

I’m Coming Home

I’m Coming Home

 

Goodbyes are sad so Grace silently slipped away

Searching for dreams of eternal sunny days

Somewhere out there in this crazy world of ours

Grace would find her place among heaven’s stars

 

And in guarded moments all alone

A voice whispered I’m coming home

Those were the best times I’ve ever known

Maybe someday I’m coming home

 

Hustling bustling serving cold beers to old men

Lost in the daze of do you remember when

Honest work always comes with an honest price

So unhappy inside came the same advice

 

And in guarded moments all alone

A voice whispered I’m coming home

Those were the best times I’ve ever known

Maybe someday I’m coming home

 

Another town another year chasing those shadows

If she had wings she’d have gone where the wind blows

One day she looked in the mirror in surprise

It was finally time to face those wicked lies

 

And in guarded moments all alone

A voice whispered I’m coming home

Those were the best times I’ve ever known

Maybe someday I’m coming home

 

She had read the story of the prodigal son

But it wasn’t the same thing that’s she’d done

Forgiveness truth be told takes a life time

And some words well sadly they never rhyme

 

What would she say would she scream or maybe cry

Could she confront the evil behind the lie

The taxi was driving down familiar roads

Grace had an iron cross such a heavy load

 

And in guarded moments all alone

A voice whispered I’m coming home

Those were the best times I’ve ever known

Maybe someday I’m coming home

Silly Suze

 Silly Suze

 

Back in the olden days when the sky above was still blue    

When love was a word that was righteous and true               

There was a folk singer who blew in like the wind               

He cried I come from the crossroads born in sin                    

 

Silly Suze gives sloppy kisses of truth

What do you expect from a youth

Silly Suze she’s going all the way

Silly Suze is waiting for Judgment Day

 

In sixty-seven a gift from heaven touched down in June

Apollo tried while Aphrodite cried at the moon

Three chords with some clever words can be turned to gold

On the auction block in the name of rock sold

 

Silly Suze gives sloppy kisses of truth

What do you expect from a youth

Silly Suze she’s going all the way

Silly Suze is waiting for Judgment Day

 

Well the struggle goes on it’s really a fight against lies

If you can’t sell records there’s other merchandise

Say hey Willie May what happened to your soul

In the Hard Rock Café it paid for my toll

 

Silly Suze gives sloppy kisses of truth

What do you expect from a youth

Silly Suze she’s going all the way

Silly Suze is waiting for Judgment Day

 

Lawyers in lust can redeem on a technicality

Vegas or bust we’re redefining reality

Every mad man is buying a machine gun

You reap as you sow so shall it be done

 

So many faces the mirror shows a haunted stranger

They tried to warn you not to ignore the danger

We’re all dealt cards you got three jokers and two queens

The rage of the age now unknown to the teens

 

Silly Suze gives sloppy kisses of truth

What do you expect from a youth

Silly Suze she’s going all the way

Silly Suze is waiting for Judgment Day

Bennet’s Song

Bennet’s Song

 

Maplewood New Jersey sun on the rise                     

News on the radio full of lies                                     

Warming the coffee eyes so weary                            

Even the blind can see things clearly                         

 

One giant leap in the wrong direction

The poor and hungry need protection

Divided we fall united we fight

Don’t forget every day begins with light

 

What the world needs is old fashion wisdom

Love will conquer materialism

But slogans are empty without deeds

We have to share and meet all our needs

 

One giant leap in the wrong direction

The poor and hungry need protection

Divided we fall united we fight

Don’t forget every day begins with light

 

Lessons of history let them guide our song

Together as one we become strong

So pick your heroes wisely my friend

Life is a race you run till the end

 

One giant leap in the wrong direction

The poor and hungry need protection

Divided we fall united we fight

Don’t forget every day begins with light

 

Soldier of fortune battle on no more

Embrace the peace come accept the cure

The time for killing to end has come

To achieve peace we shall live as one

 

One giant leap in the wrong direction

The poor and hungry need protection

Divided we fall united we fight

Don’t forget every day begins with light
