Is This The Way Its Supposed To Be?

Is This The Way Its Supposed To Be?

 

Be a good citizen march in line

Dream of heaven mighty fine

Do as mommy and daddy say

You’ll understand one distant day

One day oh yes one day

 

Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

Is this hell or is it just me?

A slave in the land of the free

Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

 

High schools full of rules

Get good grades avoid the fools

Go to college get a degree

Major in the art of agony

 

Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

Is this hell or is it just me?

A slave in the land of the free

Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

 

There is a chemical imbalance inside your brain

Clinically practically you have gone insane

Never mind about the illogical disconnect

The lying hate of the state we must protect

 

Jesus Christ He is the Son of God

Crucified and slandered a fraud

Never mind the words that He said

We’ll tell you what to think instead

 

Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

Is this hell or is it just me?

A slave in the land of the free

Is this the way it’s supposed to be?

Blighted The World

Another one written for the wonderful 

Dave Flagman 


Blighted The World

 

You spent days in the maze going all ways

Hyped you typed the words to the latest craze

What a pretender you can never surrender

Through the door the Minotaur the game-ender

 

Scorned by your girl

So you blighted the world

The whore of the Minotaur

So you blighted the world

 

The rat runs from the cat chases the cheese

When you are homeless you do as you please

You served your time and you did no crime

Except for obeying orders and marching in line

 

Scorned by your girl

So you blighted the world

The whore of the Minotaur

So you blighted the world

 

They are gentrifying Harlem way uptown

The orders are given from the banks on down

While the disheveled veteran sleeps on a grate

Mass production it’s hard to function with hate

 

LSD slips in his juice

He is free fabulously loose

He chases the dragon today

Tomorrow is the time to pay

Tomorrow and what more

Enter the Minotaur

 

Scorned by your girl

So you blighted the world

The whore of the Minotaur

So you blighted the world

 

In that fatal moment when insanity becomes real

You cannot repent or even see the total deal

And with open eyes you realize Babylon

With trembling lips time slips and all is gone

 

Scorned by your girl

So you blighted the world

The whore of the Minotaur

So you blighted the world

Cat's Whisper song by Dave Flagman lyrics by John Kaniecki

Dave Flagman has done me the great service of putting some of my lyrics to music. Well, that’s not really correct; rather he used my lyrics for his existing music.  Our relationship began when I responded to an advertisement by on Facebook. Dave was looking for somebody to work with his music. I quickly knocked out thirty-three lyrics in several days.

Working this way was different than creating a lyric from nothing. Now I had not only the music but the title of the song as well.  These limitations only enhanced the creative process. You can see that Dave tweaked the lyrics with minor changes. I am a firm believer in synergy and think he improved the song.

I am looking forward to hearing what Dave is going to do with the other lyrics I gave him. I expect great things out of Dave, he's a young man with a lot of potential. 


The Cats Whisper

She’s strolling just like she’s the queen
The solitary star of the movie screen
She’s a perfect ten just short heaven’s high
Everybody notices her as she walks on by

The cat’s whisper is soft and meek
Say mister turn the other cheek
Everybody listen’s when you speak
The cat’s whisper is soft and meek

Her man own the banks and much more
He’s the rude dude who creates war
Some say she’s nothing but a high class whore
But they can’t pay the fee that’s for sure

The cat’s whisper is soft and meek
Say mister turn the other cheek
Everybody listens when you speak
The cat’s whisper is soft and meek

Her furs have pearls see the diamonds shine
Of all the girls I wish that she was mine
Sexual wonderful I’d die just for one try
Fantasy may be glorious but it’s a lie

The cat’s whisper is soft and meek
Say mister turn the other cheek
Everybody listens when you speak
The cat’s whisper is soft and meek

Her head don’t turn to check out the scene
She just slips into her black limousine
A puff of smoke and the tires they squeal
All the men wonder if what they saw was real

The cat’s whisper is soft and meek
Say mister turn the other cheek
Everybody listens when you speak

The cat’s whisper is soft and meek

I am always looking for somebody to collaborate with. If you have music please feel free to get in touch with me. It doesn’t matter what level you’re on. You can see a lot of great and diverse stuff in my book of song lyrics “Without The Music”.
