Barcelona Blues
The sin and pain
Of heroin and cocaine
In empty flats
Where rents aren’t paid
Deals are made
To immigrants poor
Looking for a score
With danger so near
Neighbors live in fear
Bad news
These Barcelona Blues
Addiction
It is a disease
One of many woes
Poverty intimately knows
Searching for solutions
Goes beyond institutions
We must view all
As part of the whole
And answer the call
Of heart and soul
Malice And Betrayal In The Hotel Lobby
The Sell Outs sold out their show at the Garden
Our promoter was screaming begging for pardon
Roy on the drums was tripping on LSD
The groupies were dancing in glee love was free
Malice and betrayal in the hotel lobby
They demanded we pay before we leave
Such crude rudeness I couldn’t believe
Malice and betrayal in the hotel lobby
We crashed the bar numbering twenty or more
The beer on tap was cold and the cocaine pure
There must have been a narc hiding in the dark
Dogs are really nice but why do they bark?
Malice and betrayal in the hotel lobby
They demanded we pay before we leave
Such crude rudeness I couldn’t believe
Malice and betrayal in the hotel lobby
Our reputation never let the fans down
The hotel manager was one sad seedy clown
Suddenly a swarm of blue crashed like a wave
The lieutenant said now be good boys behave
Malice and betrayal in the hotel lobby
They demanded we pay before we leave
Such crude rudeness I couldn’t believe
Malice and betrayal in the hotel lobby
Well the undercover agent was in her secret guise
A lovely prostitute with sweet lavender eyes
I offered to take her up to my penthouse room
I promised darling you won’t meet your doom
They say money makes the world go round tis true
We had a high price lawyer that the judge knew
Our case was dismissed on a technicality
Know ye the judge and the judge will set you free
Malice and betrayal in the hotel lobby
They demanded we pay before we leave
Such crude rudeness I couldn’t believe
Malice and betrayal in the hotel lobby

Trouble In Ecuador
The Spanish walked right through the Inca’s door
Like Genghis Khan and sadly so many more
A place of grace where the cocaine is pure
Tell it sister there’s trouble in Ecuador
Trouble in Ecuador
A victim of endless war
People perpetually poor
Trouble in Ecuador
Priests came with their Catholic ambition
Defining the missionary position
Men dressed in black criminally scary
On your knees bow to the Virgin Mary
Trouble in Ecuador
A victim of endless war
People perpetually poor
Trouble in Ecuador
Paradise would be nice but gold is better
We’ll be kind do you mind an iron fetter
And the gods are sleeping just like before
Tell it brother there’s trouble in Ecuador
Trouble in Ecuador
A victim of endless war
People perpetually poor
Trouble in Ecuador
I want to laugh in the rain and live without pain
I want to be happy and be free from being vain
But there are gringos with capitalistic greed
Those who have plenty take from those in need
Quoting Marx the war of the classes
In our part of the jungle nobody passes
This is our own land of that I am sure
Tell it mister there’s trouble in Ecuador.
Trouble in Ecuador
A victim of endless war
People perpetually poor
Trouble in Ecuador
