Fascism On The Rise

Fascism On The Rise

 

In the temple of mammon even your soul has a price

Jezebel was raising hell she gave Ahab some advice

You don’t get to be king by being somebody nice

Now go to the pizza dealer and order a Sicilian slice

 

See the red white and blue in the skies

Taking temperature fascism is on the rise

Fueled by the hate of the god of lies

I wonder why he tries with fascism on the rise

 

I wanted to sit down and write me a lovely love song

Looking out the window I could see life going wrong

So I kissed my girl goodbye and said I just gotta try

And love and only love was the simple reason why

 

See the red white and blue in the skies

Taking temperature fascism is on the rise

Fueled by the hate of the god of lies

I wonder why he tries with fascism on the rise

 

Today there’s endless wars and hopes of reaching Mars

The Federal Reserve got some nerve defunding guitars

I hang out with the hookers at the all-night topless bar

Every woman who takes the stage dreams of being a star

 

See the red white and blue in the skies

Taking temperature fascism is on the rise

Fueled by the hate of the god of lies

I wonder why he tries with fascism on the rise

 

Mother Goose is on the loose tutoring math amongst the poor

The rich man has endless dreams and screams I want more

Jessie Jackson bit the dust I trust the Lord took him home

Sean was counting endless pennies for the greedy green gnome

 

Abigail tells me she doesn’t like Nina Simone

Every man and woman one day must stand alone

Rap is crap but I admit that Gil Scott Heron was cool

In the caves of Washington the evil orange ogre rules

 

See the red white and blue in the skies

Taking temperature fascism is on the rise

Fueled by the hate of the god of lies

I wonder why he tries with fascism on the rise

It’s A Snowy Day In Montclair

 It’s A Snowy Day In Montclair

 

I read the obituary of a man with a pathetic life

He loved his children and was on his third wife

No matter how wicked or cruel the livin

When you bite the dust you’re going to heaven

 

It’s a snowy day in Montclair

Down on your knees say a prayer

When hell freezes over I’ll be there

It’s a snowy day in Montclair

 

The college basketball team is undefeated

If you’re manic I know how you’ll be treated

Rents are on the rise but that’s no surprise

Here comes the devil with a quiver full of lies

 

It’s a snowy day in Montclair

Down on your knees say a prayer

When hell freezes over I’ll be there

It’s a snowy day in Montclair

 

I’m getting pornographic emails in my spam

Yesterday I worshiped the great I am

Right now I’m typing the lyrics to a song

I’m pondering why right always turns wrong

 

It’s a snowy day in Montclair

Down on your knees say a prayer

When hell freezes over I’ll be there

It’s a snowy day in Montclair

 

Satan smiles as he drools reading over the Epstein files

If you think the Democrats will save us then you’re in denial

We have a vigil on Fridays to protest war and organized hate

I believe all genocide is wrong but that’s a matter of debate

 

I ain’t the Messiah but I’ll ascend into heaven

I ain’t a liar please read Revelation chapter eleven

Tutoring math brings rewards but so little pay

I wonder how in the world do people turn gay

 

It’s a snowy day in Montclair

Down on your knees say a prayer

When hell freezes over I’ll be there

It’s a snowy day in Montclair

Undercover Heart

Undercover Heart

 

Two ships crashing in the deep blue sea                                

One of them you and one of them me                                   

Shiver me timbers kiss me a gale                                          

I reminisce we were too big to fail                                        

 

Van Gogh now that’s real art

She got an undercover heart

Promise me you’ll never depart

I got an undercover heart

 

Sex is only intimate with trust

A million partners twas only lust

I burnt down the rainbow to the sky

She smiled saying please give it one more try

 

Van Gogh now that’s real art

She got an undercover heart

Promise me you’ll never depart

I got an undercover heart

 

Alpha Beta we’re counting letters

The news telling sins of our betters

Give me the dream of one Sigmund Freud

Lost in space ain’t no grace in the void

 

Van Gogh now that’s real art

She got an undercover heart

Promise me you’ll never depart

I got an undercover heart

 

The man in the long trench coat is searching your trash can

I was a witness to the dreaming philosopher’s perfect plan

Peace on Earth wasn’t that the promise of the Lord’s birth

When the shit hits the fan then man you gotta prove you worth

 

I offer you my hand forever

But yes or no it’s now or never

Dreams don’t always end when you awake

If you live to give you may freely take

 

Van Gogh now that’s real art

She got an undercover heart

Promise me you’ll never depart

I got an undercover heart

Yellow Thunder

Yellow Thunder


Yellow Thunder

Life is cheap

Makes me wonder

How you sleep

 

We ruled the plains

Before the trains

Hunted Buffalo

Lived to share

Came to know

God in care

 

More and more your lust does abound

Pollute the skies violate the ground

A road to a destination known well

Hell

 

Yellow Thunder

Six feet under

Still his cries

Electrifies

Our soul

 

You stole our land

With wicked hand

Your tongues still lie

And we defy

Your control

 

Our Great Spirit lives

Wisdom a gift he gives

Wisdom to perceive

Wisdom to believe

Your vain and futile path

Will be repaid with wrath

 

The Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria

Ships numbered three

Once more they shall sail the sea

For the land will be purged by fire

And you shall bow to our desire

You cities, roads, intrusions, no more

Burned Babylon the Whore

And on those ships you shall return

Where you go is not our concern

 

And Yellow Thunder will rock the Earth

And Yellow Thunder shall know rebirth

As countless drops of endless rain

Wash away the bitter stain

Soothing relief from the pain

Our land shall be our land again

Perfect, Pristine, Pure

And Yellow Thunder shall walk once more

Just One More

Just One More

 

Hera got in a rage with the ageless Zeus

She cried baby just maybe I’ll turn you loose

The god of Olympus replied with lightning and thunder

He cried Hera girl let me fill you with wonder

 

I was walking out the door

And she cried just one more

I said we’ve been here before

She smiled just one more

 

The story of Pocahontas is a sad lullaby

By the Mississippi River we hear her cry

She asks the whimsical question which is why

Love songs are eternal they never die

 

I was walking out the door

And she cried just one more

I said we’ve been here before

She smiled just one more

 

I gave you orange roses it was your favorite kind of flower

We made love at midnight and talked into the early hours

So why am I crying when I know that my sins are forgiven

Why am I crying when God has taken you to heaven

 

And words of a song will never make it right

Bob Dylan is perishing but you see him fight

There are mysteries not meant to comprehend

The truth is that all good things come to an end

 

I was walking out the door

And she cried just one more

I said we’ve been here before

She smiled just one more

 

If I was Shakespeare I wouldn’t write a tragedy

Simple human kindness is the world’s remedy

When I say I love you know my words are pure

If you desire my fire than yes just one more

 

I was walking out the door

And she cried just one more

I said we’ve been here before

She smiled just one more

Mixtape Memories

 Mixtape Memories

 

When the manic depression rages strong

All the right in the world is simply wrong

And you’re searching for a place to belong

I put it all down I put it all down in a song

 

Mixtape memories when you were with me

Mixtape memories when we were so happy

I say with regret that I lost the cassette

Mixtape memories life gets better yet

 

I was writing poetry in the psychiatric ward

Praying for no Thorazine praising the Lord

As the shrinks ignored my desperate pleas

All of these in my mixed tape memories

 

Mixtape memories when you were with me

Mixtape memories when we were so happy

I say with regret that I lost the cassette

Mixtape memories life gets better yet

 

Kurt sang Ghetto Blue and a few others too

Kurt got married and then like a bird flew

I get lost in the sin of what could have been

Then I realize that heaven’s the only prize to win

 

Mixtape memories when you were with me

Mixtape memories when we were so happy

I say with regret that I lost the cassette

Mixtape memories life gets better yet

 

Fifty eight life is great rocking in a digital age

I celebrate the endless debate on the sacred page

One day I pray an angelic choir will sing my tune

Blessings ain’t blessings if they come too soon

 

The tape goes on the music never ends

Joy to the world be happy with your friends

We live till we die and then the final encore

I’ll be singing in heaven singing forevermore

 

Mixtape memories when you were with me

Mixtape memories when we were so happy

I say with regret that I lost the cassette

Mixtape memories life gets better yet

Fallen And Frozen

 Fallen And Frozen

 

Visiting my wife Sylvia in the nursing home

Never wanting to leave her on her own

Dementia stifled her tongue into silence

Sometimes the kindness of God makes no sense

 

Fallen and frozen this was paradise

Fallen and frozen far too much ICE

Fallen and frozen please take my advice

The man of sin wants to win the biggest slice

 

Well at Martin’s we laid Sylvia out real pretty

She banged her head now she’s dead what a pity

She picked a good time to leave this hell hole

I mean there was a time when man had a soul

 

Fallen and frozen this was paradise

Fallen and frozen far too much ICE

Fallen and frozen please take my advice

The man of sin wants to win the biggest slice

 

You see Sylvia was a legal resident from across the sea

When you’re persecuting them you’re hurting me

Now I only got one back for me to look out for

I can curse the machine and work for a cure

 

Fallen and frozen this was paradise

Fallen and frozen far too much ICE

Fallen and frozen please take my advice

The man of sin wants to win the biggest slice

 

And the fascists are marching with boots shiny black

And the fascists are marching do you hear that Jack?

Modern day gestapo and the terror’s only beginning

And the devil in the white house thinks he’s winning

 

It’s all stolen land I say let it return

There’s hell to pay do you see it burn?

This lament is meant to prevent more

Welcome to the fall of Babylon the Whore

 

Fallen and frozen this was paradise

Fallen and frozen far too much ICE

Fallen and frozen please take my advice

The man of sin wants to win the biggest slice
