Where Is The Parking?

Where Is The Parking?

 

I couldn’t catch the subway train

Eyes electric lady land vain

I didn’t even have any friends

Besides my Porsche and Mercedes Benz

So I hustled off to Alamo

And snorted a gram of blow

But the CIA was in a little worry

As they fled the scene in diabolical hurry

I saw a spot but it was awful tight

To fit in, to fit in, well I just might

Of course, I didn’t want to scratch the paint

If I did, I’d yell a spell and then faint

There was dog dodo on the ground

My heart in angst began to pound

I pressed the metal to the pedal in backwards cliché

And fled to what was a better day

Yuppies are a thing of the past

And police cruisers ride mighty fast

Chief Conforti is a confidant

Pray tell what more could you want

Another parking deck?

A dismal gigantic metallic wreck

Where is the parking snorted the whore?

What does it matter if there’s nuclear war?

Electric Jive

Electric Jive

 

I was lost in the blue on LaRue Avenue                                

Every face every place reminded me of you                         

You’re a demon who ascended to heaven’s gate                  

I know a lot of bad words and the worst of them is wait      

 

The streets are alive in electric jive

Gotta be quick in the trick to survive

Reality it cuts just like a knife

Electric jive it’ll save your life

 

Big Tiny was hustling numbers hoping to score                   

You know you’re a gambler if you always want more          

I bet my heart and soul it was all that I had                                      

Even in sin when you win it’s natural to be glad                  

The streets are alive in electric jive

Gotta be quick in the trick to survive

Reality it cuts just like a knife

Electric jive it’ll save your life

 

Well the cards were marked and they delt from down below           

There was going to be a fight from the get go                                   

A year’s wages of chips sitting on the table                                      

A smokey room a gambler’s doom straight out of a fable                

 

The streets are alive in electric jive

Gotta be quick in the trick to survive

Reality it cuts just like a knife

Electric jive it’ll save your life

           

My love hearts fall to diamonds cause money’s supreme                 

The ultimate score’s the wicked whore of my dream                       

When things become rough you need more than words to bluff      

I was hoping that my sweet six shooter would be enough                

 

Somewhere there’s a dead man with a bullet in his brain

Somewhere there’ s a conman with a story to explain

I’m a wanted man the scourge of the underground                           

And baby that’s the real reason I’m nowhere to be found                

 

The streets are alive in electric jive

Gotta be quick in the trick to survive

Reality it cuts just like a knife

Electric jive it’ll save your life

My Song

My Song

 

I’m a young person living in an old world                                        

Dreaming of someday being a rock and roll girl                               

I’ll be singing in the Garden in New York City                                 

And all my fans will say Isn’t She So Pretty                                     

 

These days I claim as mine

Thanx I’m doing just fine

Music she’s my angel divine

These words I claim as mine

 

You don’t need to be grown up to sing the blues

All you gotta do is wakeup and listen to the news

Don’t dare you say that you’re speaking what’s on my mind

I want a world of LOVE and that means being kind

 

These days I claim as mine

Thanx I’m doing just fine

Music she’s my angel divine

These words I claim as mine

 

You don’t need a crystal ball to see the times

I hear the widow weeping as the church bell chimes

I’m telling you all that I’ve got a solution

I’m telling you all about a rock and roll revolution

 

These days I claim as mine

Thanx I’m doing just fine

Music she’s my angel divine

These words I claim as mine

 

I never met John Lennon in Strawberry fields

But the will of the people never yields

Captain America silently weeps off stage

Hear the drums rocking with my rage

 

One day I’ll grow old if there ain’t no nuclear war

I pray to God Almighty that I can stay pure

But today is the time for me to right every wrong

So I get up here and I’m a singing this song

 

These days I claim as mine

Thanx I’m doing just fine

Music she’s my angel divine

These words I claim as mine

Money And Power

 Money And Power

 

Capitalism’s cat she’s a playboy bunny

She doesn’t dig true love it’s pure money

A wad of cash and she’s your sweet honey

She’ll laugh at all your jokes even if they ain’t funny

 

Twin demons money and power

A hungry beast seeks to devour

Now is darkness and the final hour

Bowing down to money and power

 

An ogre with orange hair he’s selling us out

He looks in the mirror that’s all he’s about

What profit a man to gain the whole world’s control

And at the very same time you lose your soul

 

Twin demons money and power

A hungry beast seeks to devour

Now is darkness and the final hour

Bowing down to money and power

 

Martin counts every penny he’s got a disease

He wants a life of leisure to do as he please

Lie after lie it’s the blind leading the blind

Generals and bankers a blight on mankind

 

Twin demons money and power

A hungry beast seeks to devour

Now is darkness and the final hour

Bowing down to money and power

 

In Red China a million soldiers march in line

In Harvard business school mammon is divine

Pay your indulgences so you can enter paradise

Give all to the poor it’s my best advice

 

The final countdown Babylon’s beginning to fall

The Masters of War snivel wanting it all

Cracks in the foundation hear the Liberty Bell

They offer you heaven only to give you hell

 

Twin demons money and power

A hungry beast seeks to devour

Now is darkness and the final hour

Bowing down to money and power

Shades Of Blue

 Shades Of Blue

 

By John Kaniecki

 

There are many shades of blue

And all I recall

Remind me of you

 

There are many shades of blue

Wide, thin, small and tall

But none of them are true

I see the sky

I cry
I see the ocean deep

I weep

There are many shades of blue

And all I recall

Remind me of you

And how you weren’t true

So what’s a poor boy to do?

 

There are many shades of blue

And I’d trade a kingdom or two

For one of those days full of charm

When I held you tight in my arms

But the past has fled

And my heart is dead

It is no longer red

But alas

Entrenched in a blue steadfast

There are many shades of blue

And I wish I never knew

Your love so tender and sweet

So in bitter defeat

I lay these words at your feet

 

There are many shades of blue

And the poet cannot conceive

Or the man of faith believe

Or have a clue

Of the love one can receive

From somebody as wonderful as you

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

I Love You With A Smile

 I Love You With A Smile

 

After the sun sets the desert gets cold                        

There are many regrets when you’re old                   

I could have been the king with the right song          

Fame and fortune don’t go to the strong                    

 

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

That you being you made life worthwhile

Thanks for the hand I held during the trial

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

 

Tyrone comes to church late just like last time

Never mind the bill this one’s on God’s dime

Go inside the words of life I will toss

I love you so much now here take your cross

           

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

That you being you made life worthwhile

Thanks for the hand I held during the trial

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

 

The devil’s in the pulpit preaching a storm

He’ll promise you heaven if you conform

All the little fascists with shiny boots

The lawyers and bankers are in cahoots

 

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

That you being you made life worthwhile

Thanks for the hand I held during the trial

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

 

A long time ago I stopped writing songs about true love

I once searched the Earth for an angel now I look above

I think I’ll put Erika in the song to make Evan happy

I don’t know what you call the new music but it’s snappy

 

The best thing is that we can say yes or no

But the sun will rise and the wind will blow

I’m growing my hair long in rebellion

Even the righteous have their moments of sin

 

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

That you being you made life worthwhile

Thanks for the hand I held during the trial

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

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

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

The Holy Land Ain’t Holy No More

 The Holy Land Ain’t Holy No More

FAWM # 25 

Hell on Earth

Buying weapons

Get your money’s worth

Are these god’s lessons?

Genocide

My how you lied

 

In Jerusalem there’s constant war

The holy land ain’t holy no more

Pigs lusting for more and more

The holy land ain’t holy no more

 

A two thousand pound bomb

Dropped on a mom

Thousands of children slain

And you explain

Self defense

It makes zero sense

 

In Jerusalem there’s constant war

The holy land ain’t holy no more

Pigs lusting for more and more

The holy land ain’t holy no more

Turn the other cheek

Blessed are the meek

Listen before you speak

But you are weak

All virtue is lost

In this new holocaust

 

In Jerusalem there’s constant war

The holy land ain’t holy no more

Pigs lusting for more and more

The holy land ain’t holy no more

 

On lonely Calvary they crucified the messiah

If they tell you different they’re a liar

Forgive them for they know no what they do

Those words are still ringing true

I love you and you love me

That’s the way life should be

Be kind in word and deed

Hold my hand weak or strong

In my arms you belong

Together forever for all our life

We made a promise we shall keep

Our foundation is dug deep

 

Love is a simple song

Hold my hand weak or strong

In my arms you belong

Tomorrow is a mystery I know

We got a history to show

The winds of change let them blow

Hold on baby never let go

Hold my hand weak or strong

In my arms you belong

Love is a simple song

We Were Young

 We Were Young

FAWM # 10

We didn’t know the truth but we saw the lie        

No one gave any answers when we asked why     

So we cried as we tried to reach the sky              

We had a good time baby getting high          

 

Love was a loose word on my tongue

Those years ago when we were young

Oh we had a song to be sung

In those days when we were young

 

Dancing romancing discovering about love

Kissing you sweetly completely the moon above

In the backseat of my car we took it far

Looking back I wished I learned the guitar

 

Love was a loose word on my tongue

Those years ago when we were young

Oh we had a song to be sung

In those days when we were young

 

We had wings but we feared leaving the ground

In a world lost where would the secrets be found

I held your hand we shared a common cause

Who were these teachers with their wicked laws

 

Love was a loose word on my tongue

Those years ago when we were young

Oh we had a song to be sung

In those days when we were young

 

If I could travel back in time I wouldn’t change a single thing

Now the blast of the past is simply about a crime I sing

Listen teens new to the scene understand I walked in your shoes

You got pop music and rock but only the old know the blues

 

Why do the good things simply fade to black

It’s hard even for the memories to come back

Trapped in the very future we feared to come

The slavedriver beats on his wicked drum

 

Love was a loose word on my tongue

Those years ago when we were young

Oh we had a song to be sung

In those days when we were young

Pretty Puppeteer

 Pretty Puppeteer (FAWM #1)

 

Our beautiful Ozette has nay a regret                      

The rigged wheel is in spin lay down your bet  

Banks and the press are under her control       

She’s got your money she lusts for your soul           

 

She’s the pretty puppeteer dreadfully near

Preying on your hopes and your fears

She’s the pretty puppeteer is that clear

A new age soon to appear

 

Statue of Liberty glistening her green

Oil and blood grease America’s machine

In the White House life’s just a running joke

Words on the teleprompter all he spoke

 

She’s the pretty puppeteer dreadfully near

Preying on your hopes and your fears

She’s the pretty puppeteer is that clear

A new age soon to appear

 

Meanwhile in Rome the Pope’s got a funny hat

We got a Bible but we never read that

Let us oppress those who are brown and poor

Merrily, merrily the third world war

 

She’s the pretty puppeteer dreadfully near

Preying on your hopes and your fears

She’s the pretty puppeteer is that clear

A new age soon to appear

 

Who is this super villain and pray tell what is her sin

Throw the dice no matter the number she’s gonna win

Lucifer’s bitch the witch got an eternal itch

From day to night here comes the frightful switch

 

Sticky fingers linger on the strings so taut

Or so loose you don’t realize that your caught

On the fourth of July salute the flag

Slavery and genocide on that we brag

 

She’s the pretty puppeteer dreadfully near

Preying on your hopes and your fears

She’s the pretty puppeteer is that clear

A new age soon to appear
