Red White And Blue

 Red White And Blue

 

Hey Mumia ain’t no love down in Philly                  

On the move Osage Avenue don’t thrill me               

One man’s hero another man’s villain                       

But bombing homes is always a wicked sin                          

 

And it’s the red white and blue

But only for the special few

And it’s the red white and blue

So how about you

 

Solidarity and the trigger on the gun

I’m still singing we shall overcome

Leonard is walking free weeping happy tears

While billions of others resist their fears

 

And it’s the red white and blue

But only for the special few

And it’s the red white and blue

So how about you

 

In Palestine Satan ain’t waitin’ for the divine

Fascists with a new face say yours is mine

Corporate greed supplies all weapons they need

Profits soar in the war while children bleed

 

And it’s the red white and blue

But only for the special few

And it’s the red white and blue

So how about you

 

And Jesus where are you when your people need you the most?

If you can’t make it would you please send the Holy Ghost

Look to the left look to the right we the people need to fight

We can die trying crying for the lost to see the light

 

From the Baghdad desert to downtown Newark

Ain’t enough jobs to be had but far too much work

Poverty is the number one recruiter today

Join the green machine today do as we say

 

And it’s the red white and blue

But only for the special few

And it’s the red white and blue

So how about you

A Touch Of Grace

 A Touch Of Grace

 

This life is a river in a hurry

Who will deliver us girlie

My mind is lost in worry

Love will save us surely

 

A lost soul in a forsaken place

See the tears roll on my face

Looking for a touch of grace

A lost soul in a forsaken place

 

I wanted to get some fame

So people would know my name

Now life it ain’t the same

And I only got self to blame

 

A lost soul in a forsaken place

See the tears roll on my face

Looking for a touch of grace

A lost soul in a forsaken place

 

Up is down in a crazy way

I ain’t got no words to pray

I just have one thing to say

May tomorrow be a better day

 

A lost soul in a forsaken place

See the tears roll on my face

Looking for a touch of grace

A lost soul in a forsaken place

The Land Where Dead Men Die

The Land Where Dead Men Die

 

In northwestern Wisconsin the east wind blows like sin                   

And all the farm girl sluts strut around being born again                              

Billy Graham would be preaching outside the honkey-tonk bars     

I’m just like Jesus Christ darling do you want to see my scars                     

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

 

Well Rita was atheist or maybe agnostic who could tell

She wanted to believe in heaven but shunned talk of hell

Thumb extended she was hitchhiking anywhere south

She proclaims all the same it ain’t wrong if you use your mouth

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

 

Daryll was a killer on the loose driving a tractor trailer

If I make the FBI’s most wanted I won’t be a failure

Rita had a short skirt it made Daryll hurt just to look

Pulling over the trucker chuckled I’ll rob her like a crook

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

 

All the Sanhedrin are chanting Psalm one twenty-one

The babes at the Passover are drunk and they want some fun

We all die young are you enjoying this thing called life

I’m mad at my momma cause she upset my current wife

 

Seems like the story needs resolution or at least a solution

The obvious answer my friends bloodless revolution

Rita was on the pill and Daryll went in for the kill

The humor of the rumor has it they’re out there riding still

 

I wanna live in the land where dead men die

I look at the blue sky is it really that high?

The Eagles are soaring I’m ignoring Glen Fry

I wanna go to the land where dead men die

Rock And A Hard Place

Rock And A Hard Place

 

My passion ain’t fashion I was raised on rock and roll                     

We need some action before we get complete control                       

Long ago the devil told me so Go sell your soul                               

Maximum profits my dear is their ultimate goal                               

 

I was caught between a rock and a hard place

I really fought in a rock and a hard place

I gave my heart to a woman full of grace

I was caught between a rock and a hard place

 

I am a rebel by choice because of reality

I am a soldier of fortune we all should be free

Turn the other cheek while you carry your cross with joy

You have two paths to tread on either build or destroy

 

I was caught between a rock and a hard place

I really fought in a rock and a hard place

I gave my heart to a woman full of grace

I was caught between a rock and a hard place

 

General Patton was a paranoid son of a bitch

His hand on the trigger with a permanent itch

The next world war is going to be fought by the poor

It’s the same old ugly scene that we’ve seen before

 

I was caught between a rock and a hard place

I really fought in a rock and a hard place

I gave my heart to a woman full of grace

I was caught between a rock and a hard place

 

Rock and Roll refugee turn up the bass

Rock and Roll refuge with a stone face

Rock and Roll pilgrim heading to outer space

Caught between a rock and a hard place

 

In agony I sing this song in a final plea

Barter with this martyr look how beautiful things could be

Come on baby take my hand Revelation eleven

Let’s prove that love is real and in the deal get heaven

 

I was caught between a rock and a hard place

I really fought in a rock and a hard place

I gave my heart to a woman full of grace

I was caught between a rock and a hard place

I met a man he said Judas is my name

If I could come and kiss away every wrong

I wish I could hold you forever strong

I pray there is a heaven where we belong

Seventh Heaven

 Seventh Heaven

 

Thinking back Jack you were beyond wise                           

Love is a force the source over all lies                      

What you saw in me I truly don’t know                                

But life keeps on and I gave it a go                                       

 

We’ll be in the seventh heaven laughing together

We’ll be in the seventh heaven things don’t get better

In the seventh heaven there’s always fair weather

We’ll be in the seventh heaven laughing together

 

From Genesis to Revelation’s Amen

You’re in the Spirt brother say it again

I was a crazy boy tripping on stardust

Hitchhiking with a sign heaven or bust

 

We’ll be in the seventh heaven laughing together

We’ll be in the seventh heaven things don’t get better

In the seventh heaven there’s always fair weather

We’ll be in the seventh heaven laughing together

 

I was a world away when you went to glory

A man of mystery Jack that was your story

There was a secret like a sin forgiven

We had the secret of the seventh heaven

 

We’ll be in the seventh heaven laughing together

We’ll be in the seventh heaven things don’t get better

In the seventh heaven there’s always fair weather

We’ll be in the seventh heaven laughing together

 

You have to taste some hell just to get it out of your system

When it comes right down to it there’s two kinds of wisdom

You can live for today and the pleasures this world holds

Or you can carry your cross and go where the streets are gold

 

Dancing with the angels on cloud nine

Sipping the sweet sacred divine wine

Forever well that’s a mighty long time

Where music’s happy and all words rhyme

 

We’ll be in the seventh heaven laughing together

We’ll be in the seventh heaven things don’t get better

In the seventh heaven there’s always fair weather

We’ll be in the seventh heaven laughing together

Pink Pony Club Sandwiches

Pink Pony Club Sandwiches

 

The ancient Rastafarian priest sought the white buffalo                   

From the islands of the sun to the harsh Dakota snow                      

Well we passed the peace pipe around tobacco laced with hash       

We smashed all the Beatles records and got down to the Clash        

 

They were serving pink pony club sandwiches

All the working girls have terrific itches

Holy men want to persecute the witches

They were eating pink pony club sandwiches

 

We were smuggling secret contraband to Epstein’s secret isle

The crew was feeling jolly good even Popeye had a smile

In the distance we saw the Houthi navy machine guns and all

There’s an ancient Chinese proverb as you rise so shall you fall

 

They were serving pink pony club sandwiches

All the working girls have terrific itches

Holy men want to persecute the witches

They were eating pink pony club sandwiches

 

We couldn’t call for help because all the girls were under age

“I warned you before we left port” chastised the angry sage

The captain said “We got to make a run for it the wind’s right”

So on we went full speed treading into the oblique night

 

They were serving pink pony club sandwiches

All the working girls have terrific itches

Holy men want to persecute the witches

They were eating pink pony club sandwiches

 

Deep in mediation mainlining the Great Spirit

Screw your excuses I don’t want to hear it

There is a righteousness we can’t refuse

Just like Lead Belly sung the blues

 

We are forgotten merchants forsaken in the endless sea

Just because you have no masters it doesn’t mean you’re free

Our ship proved the wrong way that this planet called Earth ain’t round

There are mysteries with answers and other things more profound

 

They were serving pink pony club sandwiches

All the working girls have terrific itches

Holy men want to persecute the witches

They were eating pink pony club sandwiches

Ice Cream In The Mail

Ice Cream In The Mail

 

They were always scheming dreaming in room eight and a half                  

Passing around the pipe young men the type for a good laugh                     

What you gonna do today anything but attend class                                     

In a green hazy daisy lazy fog so would the day pass                                   

 

They were just like ice cream in the mail

Chasing the dragon trying to grab its tail

Rocketship trips to Mars are bound to fail

They were just like ice cream in the mail

 

I was a rebel caught in a lie called the American way

Pay your taxes hate the reds kneel to Jesus and pray

But there were cracks on the dam I doubted Uncle Sam

Slowly with tear-stained eyes I saw the lies of the great scam

 

They were just like ice cream in the mail

Chasing the dragon trying to grab its tail

Rocketship trips to Mars are bound to fail

They were just like ice cream in the mail

 

Dorm sixty-two of Graystone U I was feeling blue

Woodie Guthrie went there I know it’s true

All my chums turned out to be bums oh no

I was in the fight of my life and they’re no show

 

Well things have a way of working out if you keep living

The devil is the Prince of Lies and Jesus so forgiving

But in this crazy world of ours they call the darkness light

The crucified my Lord on Cavalry I know that ain’t right

 

They were just like ice cream in the mail

Chasing the dragon trying to grab its tail

Rocketship trips to Mars are bound to fail

They were just like ice cream in the mail

 

So salute the flag boast and brag tis Injun burial ground

You’ll never know what to seek out if you don’t know what’s found

We’re a city shining so brightly on that lonely hill

But we could never understand the command “Thou Shall Not Kill”

 

They were just like ice cream in the mail

Chasing the dragon trying to grab its tail

Rocketship trips to Mars are bound to fail

They were just like ice cream in the mail

Wake Up

 Wake Up

 

No one blames Jesse James for shooting Tonto                    

Genocide pilgrim pride choose a side pronto                        

Once the buffalo thundered on the plain                                

You ask yourself why is there so much pain?                       

 

And so the empires fall

Once so handsome once so tall

I guess this is our wake up call

Children crying children dying

 

John Chivington hell fire is too good for you

Over in Gaza we got more deja vous

Which holocaust do you plan on counting

The hate is great and the evil mounting

 

And so the empires fall

Once so handsome once so tall

I guess this is our wake up call

Children crying children dying

 

Hey there Ronnie I know you remember me

I painted you a picture of a bird in a tree

You read volumes of psyche books back in school

The path of healing isn’t in being cruel

 

And so the empires fall

Once so handsome once so tall

I guess this is our wake up call

Children crying children dying

 

Do unto others as you would have done to you

Jesus’s words after centuries still ring true

Beat all the swords into plowshares for sure

One glad day we won’t study war no more

 

And so the empires fall

Once so handsome once so tall

I guess this is our wake up call

Children crying children dying

Fingered By Fate

Fingered By Fate

 

Born under a bad sign who’s to say               

I wanna sing let the music play                     

Guitar in hand she gently strummed              

I knew not the words so I hummed                

 

She said hold me the hour is late

Go forward we dare not wait

At the end we shall celebrate

For we were fingered by fate

 

The coffee was spiked with Spanish rum

Wine’s the only drink in the Kingdom

On the cross Jesus gave it all

All they offered was bitter gall

 

She said hold me the hour is late

Go forward we dare not wait

At the end we shall celebrate

For we were fingered by fate

 

We made love if you want to call it that

You’re only sexy till you become fat

Kinky women know all the tricks

Round two began I got some good licks

 

She said hold me the hour is late

Go forward we dare not wait

At the end we shall celebrate

For we were fingered by fate

 

I decided I would search out the deeper inner source

I rode with the Apache when the Mexicans came in force

Kit Carson he chopped down all our peach trees

Wanka Tanka he’s coming soon riding the breeze

 

Back to the zodiac deja vous

I can leave everything except you

I kissed her fingers deep in scent

Life lingers one day you’ll repent

 

She said hold me the hour is late

Go forward we dare not wait

At the end we shall celebrate

For we were fingered by fate

It Didn’t Look Like The Sun

It Didn’t Look Like The Sun

 

I flunked out of poetry school for being a fool                      

My sonnets were carnal and my allusions cruel                                

I quoted Shakespeare clearly lacking optimism                                 

The official charge was downright plagiarism                                  

 

I had a California dream she was blonde and fun

I said there goes the moon it didn’t look like the sun

If beauty were brains she’d be several times undone

She said one and one is three it didn’t look like the sun

 

A coven of nuclear engineers had a project

My fantasy said “Baby can you share your rocket?”

Satanic engineers drooled over the bigger bang

We’ll dress up in leather and call ourselves a gang

 

I had a California dream she was blonde and fun

I said there goes the moon it didn’t look like the sun

If beauty were brains she’d be several times undone

She said one and one is three it didn’t look like the sun

 

Fornication is the celebration of the greater gods

I played the lottery unaware of the sinister odds

In Vegas I won in blackjack and lost it in the brothel

They refused me in heaven and second best was Hell

 

All the song lyrics Bob Dylan wrote will fade away

When saints are about to faint they learn how to pray

Jack Kerouac hit the sack right around sunrise

She screamed I love you madly but it was only lies

 

I had a California dream she was blonde and fun

I said there goes the moon it didn’t look like the sun

If beauty were brains she’d be several times undone

She said one and one is three it didn’t look like the sun

 

I picked Bert to be my secret pseudonym

One day everything will end and then we will begin

I will remember most those who were kind in heart

Living like poetry is the most sacred art

 

I had a California dream she was blonde and fun

I said there goes the moon it didn’t look like the sun

If beauty were brains she’d be several times undone

She said one and one is three it didn’t look like the sun

Excuse Me I’m Punk

 Excuse Me I’m Punk

 

I got a metal plate in my head

I got a metal plate in my head

It ain’t sexy Roxy said

But it’s much better than being dead

 

Excuse me I’m punk

And I ain’t gonna take your junk

 

I eat cereal for the sugar

I eat cereal for the sugar

My old man’s one real booger

But it’s much better than a mugger

 

Excuse me I’m punk

And I ain’t gonna take your junk

 

This song has just started

This song has just started

You’re leaving me broken hearted

Now that you departed

 

Excuse me I’m punk

Excuse me I’m punk

Excuse me I’m punk

And I ain’t gonna take your junk

Heaven

Heaven

 

I hitchhiked the Blue Ridge Mountains West Virginia style

I road all through Tennessee making a salesman smile

Marching in Idaho next to the Clear Water River

I believed in the Lord it’s easy for Him to deliver

 

When I hold you close

That’s when I love you most

Heaven is not when I pray

Heaven is when you stay

 

Well I traded my rough and rowdy ways for some religion

My grand reward for picking up the sword manic depression

Twenty years old I felt that life had reached the end

And you never visited and I thought you were a friend

 

When I hold you close

That’s when I love you most

Heaven is not when I pray

Heaven is when you stay

 

I may have been saved but I was lost as a blind eagle

I was driving blue cabs hustling in every way legal

Quit taking the yellow pills I trusted in God’s healing

Back to the psych ward what a terrible feeling

 

When I hold you close

That’s when I love you most

Heaven is not when I pray

Heaven is when you stay

 

And they preach Jesus from the pulpit straight from the heart

They preach Jesus from the pulpit they get paid for their part

I ain’t cynical but the good Lord don’t want me to be a fool

If you search inside the church you’re gonna find the cruel

 

I’ve walked the streets telling God’s plan

Been mocked and ridiculed by an angry man

Trying to teach the love of Jesus to the Sioux

John Chivington there’s a good reason to hate you

 

When I hold you close

That’s when I love you most

Heaven is not when I pray

Heaven is when you stay

The Final Time

The Final Time

 

Playing heavy metal rock on TikTok before it was banned                           

The worlds in a whirlwind and some dare say it’s planned                           

Stella was our super groupie making love with the band                              

With a deep sigh she’d cry There’s so much I don’t understand                   

 

They’re counting down for the final time

I’m searching for words that don’t rhyme

War for sure is mankind’s worst crime

They’re counting down for the final time

 

I don’t want to be frustrated, debated and never hated

Good things come to those who wait and so yes I waited

I was in South Detroit smoking a joint in the food line

The church bells chimed as the choir sang Jesus Is Mine

 

They’re counting down for the final time

I’m searching for words that don’t rhyme

War for sure is mankind’s worst crime

They’re counting down for the final time

 

Well I was wearing shades but that is at best a flimsy disguise

Someone said there’s Rock Star but I had no alibies

The crowd became a mob twas a scene I had seen before

Grabbing and tugging reminding Stella of her days as a whore

 

They’re counting down for the final time

I’m searching for words that don’t rhyme

War for sure is mankind’s worst crime

They’re counting down for the final time

 

Well an ugly slob makes an angry mob

Three little birds wanted to steal my job

There was no redemption song down here

I would’ve ran but I had too much fear

 

So in came the police busting heads open in the name of peace

A bloody scene I laughed reading the press release

I said hey brother could you or your mother spare me a dime

I wanna catch a cab and leave the hood for the final time

 

They’re counting down for the final time

I’m searching for words that don’t rhyme

War for sure is mankind’s worst crime

They’re counting down for the final time
