Rock And Roll Lady

In Memory of Tina Turner!

Rock And Roll Lady

 

I’m hitchhiking a ride to New Orleans                    

Gonna hang out with the closet queens          

There’s a pawn shop that sells used dreams            

And I’m looking for a brand-new scene                  

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

 

Born in poverty living in troubled times

Feel the fight resonating in the rhymes

When you got nothing you take a chance

Rock and Roll Lady do you want to dance?

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

 

I heard your man treated you really cruel

Every now and then we all play the fool

One day you woke up and found the door

Ain’t gonna take that abuse no more

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

 

I got my plastic records and my phonograph

Rock and Roll Lady you make me laugh

Rock and Roll Lady you make me cry

Rock and Roll Lady you can never die

 

Riches and fame were part of the prize

But the true treasure was getting wise

Rock and Roll Lady never compromise

Good things come to the one who tries

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

All The Little Hombres

 All The Little Hombres

 

Across the sea America shines in hypocrisy                    

If you have sufficient cash you can be free                      

From the barrios and slums of the third world                 

They come to the oyster searching for the pearl               

 

All the little hombres in a circle smoking hash

All the little hombres want to get paid off in cash

There's Juan, Stan, Miguel and don’t forget Jose

All the little hombres work hard through the day

 

We scream the sacred dream that we call get rich quick

The diet of capitalism will make you sick

Blood and oil the dressings on the salad of war

Come be the foot soldiers of Babylon the Whore

 

All the little hombres in a circle smoking hash

All the little hombres want to get paid off in cash

There's Juan, Stan, Miguel and don’t forget Jose

All the little hombres work hard through the day

 

She says I love you with pornographic red lips

Slowly she struts swaying her sultry wide hips

Come on baby I’m down on my knees not to pray

But first to quench my thirst there’s a price to pay

 

All the little hombres in a circle smoking hash

All the little hombres want to get paid off in cash

There's Juan, Stan, Miguel and don’t forget Jose

All the little hombres work hard through the day

 

Fear of getting deported the pay is low

Freezing night stomach tight a hard blow

But there is both hatred and love to give

All the little hombres just want to live

 

Songs of revolution in their native tongue

Many years ago they were hungry naïve and young

Calloused hands crooked back their pockets empty

All the little hombres live a sad destiny

 

All the little hombres in a circle smoking hash

All the little hombres want to get paid off in cash

There's Juan, Stan, Miguel and don’t forget Jose

All the little hombres work hard through the day

Valley Girl

Valley Girl

 

Daddy’s little girl a pretty princess she gets all she wants                

Laughing with the millionaires’ children they’re all debutants        

When you have everything, everything becomes nothing                

So she runs the streets searching she’s always searching

 

She’s a valley girl seeking thrills

She’s a valley girl popping pills

A tragedy of the grandest style

She’s a valley girl oh what a smile

 

She sounds funny got plenty of money and all her jokes ain’t funny

Daddy is a proper prude cheating now and then with a Playboy bunny

Mother knows the secret but keeps it so things don’t fall apart

And our dear valley girl mourns all the day with a broken heart

 

She’s a valley girl seeking thrills

She’s a valley girl popping pills

A tragedy of the grandest style

She’s a valley girl oh what a smile

 

Too young to date she watches movies that are x rated

Innocent or spoiled that’s an issue that needs to be debated

Our valley girl dreams of true love but it’s really only lust

She knows hundreds of peers but none are near enough to trust

 

She’s a valley girl seeking thrills

She’s a valley girl popping pills

A tragedy of the grandest style

She’s a valley girl oh what a smile

 

Don’t tell me I don’t have proper talk

Or that my hips sway too much as I walk

Fourteen going on maybe twenty-eight

Only a child to be an adult she can’t wait

 

Front row at the pop show she and the gals smoking the best grass

She’ll try to go backstage even though she doesn’t have a pass

She’ll forfeit her future for a single moment in time

She’s a valley girl but is being a valley girl a crime?

 

She’s a valley girl seeking thrills

She’s a valley girl popping pills

A tragedy of the grandest style

She’s a valley girl oh what a smile

Trying To Get By

Trying To Get By

 

I was in downtown Manhattan the city was sleeping                

From the Island I hear Lady Liberty weeping                  

In lofty towers of Babylon the elite drink champaign     

Living in the subways on the streets legions in pain                 

 

We’re all just trying to get by

Some live the truth some live the lie

Most of us don’t even ask why

We’re all just trying to get by

 

Something’s only illegal if you happen to get caught

Even then with the right friend innocence can be bought

A wad of cash under the table is universal language

If you’re going to sell your soul do it when you’re young

 

We’re all just trying to get by

Some live the truth some live the lie

Most of us don’t even ask why

We’re all just trying to get by

 

Lucifer wears a tuxedo sitting front row at the Met

His ego won’t allow for even a single regret

Wizards of Wall Street eat their fill in the Sushi bars

While the ghost of Kurt Cobain collects broken guitars

 

We’re all just trying to get by

Some live the truth some live the lie

Most of us don’t even ask why

We’re all just trying to get by

 

Meanwhile at the math lab we’re reciting pi

Learn your lessons work till the day you die

Sahir refuses to obey he’s become spoiled

The juggernaut of death is well oiled

 

Materialism is wrong but don’t dare touch my bank account

From the Hills of Mordor the zombie hordes begin to mount

And where has my Lord Jesus gone why haven’t you found Him yet?

There are many more letters not in the alphabet

 

We’re all just trying to get by

Some live the truth some live the lie

Most of us don’t even ask why

We’re all just trying to get by

The Circle Turns

 The Circle Turns

 

Ring around the ring, ring around the ring

Babies cry old men sigh, while angels sing

 

She was the pretty princess of the merry go round          

My miserable mistress of the lost and found                    

The ghost of the Titanic sails without a sound                 

On this Sea of Misery where are we bound?                    

 

The circle turns leaving the past

The circle turns going nowhere fast

We live our lives never to last

The circle turns leaving the past

 

There are three sides of the coin one we never see

We headed west on a quest hoping to be free

There is gold in them hills never mind the dream

The iron dragon roaring destroys Red Bull’s scream

 

The circle turns leaving the past

The circle turns going nowhere fast

We live our lives never to last

The circle turns leaving the past

 

Pocahontas was betrayed she was Love’s slave

I weep these words a silent melody on her grave

In the painted desert we collect monuments to pain

All we have done all we have said was in vain

 

On Easter morning my savior arose from the dead

If you’re hungry I’m willing to share my bread

I want this to be happy a Utopian verse

He who is hung on a tree is under a curse

 

The circle turns leaving the past

The circle turns going nowhere fast

We live our lives never to last

The circle turns leaving the past

 

Ring around the ring, ring around the ring

There is hope in the story that is what I bring

Monopoly

 Monopoly

 

Where all is but a whisp of dreams

And that not even what it seems

 

Pretty princess crying hour after hour                    

Evil witch holds her captive in tall tower        

On the wind sad cries blow to and fro             

There are secrets that none wish to know              

 

This is suburbia this is the city as well

There is no monopoly on hell

Strippers in night clubs under a spell

The dollar speaks what does it tell?

 

Working nine to five won’t keep you alive

Politicians offering empty jive

Children lost in fantasy abyss

Where or where is the magical kiss?

 

This is suburbia this is the city as well

There is no monopoly on hell

Strippers in night clubs under a spell

The dollar speaks what does it tell?

 

Rockets roar war is waged

The young have aged

Issued uniforms taught to kill

Could this be God’s will?

 

Little Lady we flee holding hand in hand

Searching for the hope of the Promised Land

Sky illuminates as hate manifests

All I can promise you my love is my best

 

This is suburbia this is the city as well

There is no monopoly on hell

Strippers in night clubs under a spell

The dollar speaks what does it tell?

 

Insanity my friend is the norm

In the end we die or conform?

Music is magical a majestic fairy tale.

In dreams you can never fail

In life Love shall prevail.

White cotton clouds where dragons fly

Tall yawning trees touching the skies

A winged horse waits for your pleasure

Imagination defines your treasure

Pretty princess longing for true love’s kiss

Countdown three two one to bliss

Jugglers twirling cosmic stars

Minstrels strumming electric guitars

 

A beautiful song the gift I bring

Rapture reigns drops of purple haze

Infinity cannot number our days

Cotton candy crystals dripping youth

Fantasy forming fragments of truth

A beautiful song the gift I bring

 

Music is magical a majestic fairy tale

In dreams you can never fail

In Life Love shall prevail.
