Blighted The World

 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 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 slips 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

Tis a Revolution (a11)

 Tis a Revolution (a11)

 

Slippin’ and slidin’ the world’s collidin’

On the old gray mare I’ll be a ridin’

Calling out like Mister Paul Revere

Telling everyone that war is here

Put no faith in the institution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

Rich man sailing on his fancy yacht

People dreaming about what he got

All his workers slaving doing over time

Ain’t against the law but it’s a crime

Rich man better make restitution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

The people are talking on the street

A lot of them don’t have enough to eat

Some don’t got shoes to cover their feet

And there ain’t no way to beat the heat

I tell you I know the solution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

Rappers they singing the ghetto’s rage

We all agree we gotta turn the page

Right now things aren’t the way to be

God made man and he made man free

Listen to the words of your religion

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

Atomic powers is sick with nuclear waste

Gives everyone alive a bad taste

The toxic chemicals are beyond awful

For sure that stuff is criminal

The world is dying from our pollution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

We understand yes we see

You fill the land with futility

Democrat or Republican

Ain’t neither one to my likin’

What we need is a new constitution

Come gather round tis a revolution

 

Slippin’ and slidin’ the world’s collidin’

On the old gray mare I’ll be a ridin’

Calling out like Mister Paul Revere

Telling everyone that war is here

Put no faith in the institution

Come gather round tis a revolution

Words

 Words

 

Around town the sound found on the street has a funky beat

Rappers and girl slappers struggle for victory or defeat

Politicians pontificate policies perpetuating pure hate

Their truth is lies in disguise how passionately they debate

 

Words- they make up this song

Words- They define right and wrong

Words- Hear the poor man cry

Words – They sell you a lie

 

Bums out in the cold surviving from dumpster diving

A chicken in every pot they forgot who they’re jiving

Rich men never go to jail if they fail they pay a fine

See the priest feast he got some line about being divine

 

Words- they make up this song

Words- They define right and wrong

Words- Hear the poor man cry

Words – They sell you a lie

 

Put letters together and move your tongue

In fuse the blues a song is sung

Rock and roll refugees with long hair

In the land of the free they don’t care

Debt slaves till we enter our graves

In the end my friend only Jesus saves

 

Propaganda penetrates a panoply of pretense

Killing and war is evil it’s a matter of common sense

The Vodka is strong you belong if you drink it straight

Don’t wait articulate what you think try to relate

 

Words- they make up this song

Words- They define right and wrong

Words- Hear the poor man cry

Words – They sell you a lie

The Last Rhino

The Last Rhino

 

His eye is on the sparrow

Your song says that is so

Your Creator He created me

I was born

                Born to be free

Like the lions who hunt pray

Like the monkeys who jestingly play

Like the ants who march in line

Like zebras running so fine

 

Adam he was your first

I have known your worst

They have slain me in scorn

My body desecrated

My spirit hated

Their prize---my horn

 

What shall they do with it?

That cost my life to forfeit

Hang it as a trophy upon their wall

To tell glamorous stories to recall

How in an utmost cowardly act

They shot a gun from behind my back

 

I am animal yes it is true

Far different we are from you

True we kill, some of us to feast

But you, you are the beast

On Africa’s fields I lay rotting dead

As assassins bullet inside my head

 

His eye is on the sparrow

I know that is so

He enjoys their song in morn

It was the reason they were born

In me too He had His delight

I too was precious in his sight

Once our herds were without number

Now in death, extinct we slumber

I of all creatures would surely know

For you see I am the last rhino

Hear my words let them not be vain

Humanity is captive by those insane

Hear my words as softly I explain

Your job it was to tend the garden

But greed your heart it did harden

Take your prize that you lusted for

A notch on your belt, another score

And I, I am no more

 

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

A horn for a horn

In fire creation it shall die to be born

On that day you shall weep, wail and mourn

Feel the horror of your wicked woe

These words are true they are so

Spoken by the last rhino

Song of My Heart

 Song of My Heart

 

I’m searching for the right words to say

To make it all okay

Could you lend me your ear in the cool autumn breeze?

It would put my mind at ease

 

I can’t remember the words that I wrote

So take what you value and leave what you don’t

Let the music do its part

Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

 

Spent the night haunted by confused memories

Churned by a twisted history

Different players in an identical game

But the song remains the same

 

I can’t remember the words that I wrote

So take what you value and leave what you don’t

Let the music do its part

Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

 

In a deep dark valley with a cool running stream

I see a princess in a dream

I’m feeling the rapture I’m sensing the bliss

I will be free with your passionate kiss

 

I can’t remember the words that I wrote

So take what you value and leave what you don’t

Let the music do its part

Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

 

My thoughts turn to the memories of the days that we spent

Living off of the love that we lent

If you take the love I give I’m sure you will see

The truth is you’re just like me (X3)

 

I can’t remember the words that I wrote

So take what you value and leave what you don’t

Let the music do its part

Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

 

You know you’re just like me

You’re just like me 

Girl you’re just like me

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
