From Musical Estoppel:

Hope for Better Days

Scared for the future, haunted by the past,
How long can this cycle, possible last.

What’s the point in going over it again,
Talking in circles coming to the same end,
There’s no resolution, there’ll be no piece of mind,
So turn off the news before I start to cry.

If we can’t go back in time,
Save the world maybe change some minds
We’ll say we gave it the old college try but, its gone, its gone, its gone.

Sad for the Children, angry at all the rest,
How do we even begin to make amends.

What’s the point in believing all their lies,
These empty suits they are vultures in disguise,
There’s no getting through to the greed they have inside,
There’s no compromise so why even try.

So now we start to get back up and ride,
Look to the sun in the early morning sky,

All is not lost it’s not over with my friends,
There is still a way to go before we reach our grizzly end,
Look to the future and have a little faith,
Live in the present and Hope for Better Days.

When the Sun Came out

When the sun came out, it came out for me,
When the sun came out, it came out you’ll see,
When the light shined down, so wonderfully,
When the sun came out, it came out for me.

I have a face that will refuse to hide,
Show you the truth that I hold deep inside,
Take it away, I don’t want to see it anymore,
Take it away, I don’t care to settle the score, oh no.

When the noise died down, there was just me,
When the noise died down, I had something to be,
When I looked around, I had something to see,
When the noise died down, there was just me.

Shine a light, shine a light it’s better than being stoned,
All my life, all my life thinking I did something wrong,
Now’s the time, now’s the time for being out on my own,
Shine a light, shine a light, it’s better than being alone.

I like being alone, I like being stoned.

Nothing In Between

Drifting through my middle ages,
Trying to escape the tiny cages,
Mortgage bills and dead end jobs,
We’ve all been struggling for too long.

If you stumble you will fall,
One mistake and you lose it all,
Can’t afford to get behind,
No one left to loan you in kind.

Love to live, live to love,
I feel nothing from a power above,
Falling into a back hole,
Hands growing weak and getting old.

The situation is dire,
No, you will never retire,
You’ll work until the day you die,
When you’re down on your knees, there’s no securities,
There is only rich and poor and nothing in between.

Nothing in Between,
What little hope is gone.

What We All Got Coming

Wasting time again, looking for a new friend,
Got nowhere to go, got nothing to show for it.

I fought an eye for an eye,
Looking up into the sky,
I brought the hammer down,
Only to be called a clown.

I never wanted a thing, I just wanted sing,
It didn’t matter anyway,
At the end of the day, all I wanted to say,
Is I just keep thinking about.

What we all got coming,
What we all got coming around.

Drifting inside my head, feeling a little misled,
I try to scream and shout, nothing will come out.

I tried again to explain,
The words just came out the same,
I said nothing new, could not get through to you.

It’s hard to look, hard to look the other way,
When you’re staring at your own face,
So what’ll it be, are you ready to see,
Just what’s inside.

Do you see the light, try as you might,
Wake up it’s not a dream, I know you want to scream,
There deep inside, I know that you will find,
The answers that are true, the person that is you.

So Try.

Do and Die

They’re going to build an army, an army of theirs sons,
At the tip of the spear, forcing their views on everyone,
Righteous defenders of some cause,
Cutting down the enemies to their supposed God.

It’s not yours to wonder why, it’s yours to Do and Die,
What else can they do, to put the fear of God in you.

No one questions the hand,
That holds the knife at the neck of the lamb,
There’ll be no debates, no subversions, no escape.

If you dare to wonder why,
Remember it’s an eye for an eye.

They’re going to build a fortress, in the mountains of Idaho,
Tell all the hippies and Indians, it’s time to go,
I wish that I was making it up,
They’ve all been drinking cool aid from a poison cup.

We’re going to throw a party, we’ll invite everyone,
We’ll celebrate the Earth the moon the stars and our Sun,
We’ll show them there’s a better way,
Than carrying hatred in some lonely heart today.

Yes it’s yours to wonder why, no one has to die,
What else can we say, to make a brighter world today.

Buffy CBC

She said she was Cree, miss Buffy Saint Marie,
Said she was stolen from Indian land,
We know it’s all lies, through the tears in our eyes,
She’s just another white girl in a band.

Just another white girl in a band,
Doing and saying anything she can.

The people in Stoneham, who really know who you are,
Still can’t believe that’d you take your lies so far,
There you were for everyone to see,
Dressed like an Indian, grifting on Sesame Street.

Just another white girl in a band,
Just another pretend Indian.

Did you really think, no one would find out,
All the pride and joy, turned to shame and doubt,
Over Buffy.

Now here you are, for all the world to see,
All your lies exposed by the CBC,
You were never abandoned, you were never stolen away,
Yet, your story keeps changing to this very day.

Donny Six Times

They call him Donny Six Times,
Talking up his shoe shine,
When never the thought occurred,
Doing real harm, take you by the strong arm,
Treat you like it’s Animal Farm, where only comb overs survive

Our only thing in common, our Dad’s names were Fred,
I can tell you what, mine never gave me that much bread, oh no,
Four hundred million dollars, more or less,
What’d you do with the money Donny, let me take a best guest.

You’re lying, you’re cheating, you’re stealing and deceiving,
Everybody knows, knows the funny reasons,
You’re nothing but a fraud, just like your hair,
Your daddy didn’t love you and you’re momma didn’t care.

Who owns who’s in the Epstein files.

Yeah, what you going to do when they lock you up,
Throw away the key, everybody’s through with you,
Yeah, what you going to do, when you’re out of cash,
It will be you ass, you’ll know you’re through

All you’ve ever known, is living a lie,
See it in your face, see it in your vacant eyes,
Nobody loves you, nobody cares,
All you got to show is your bad combed over hair

When you’re out of lies and there’s nothing to say, Will you walk away?
When you’re out of lies and there’s nothing to say, that’ll be the day,
Look to the sky, tear in you eye, will you feel the shame,
Open your eyes, no more disguise, will you go away?

The Day I Broke Away

Sunday Morning, no one’s awake,
Here’s the chance I have to take,
Pull on my boots and slip out the door,
I can’t stand to be here anymore.

Stuck inside, nowhere to hide, spring is going to come going to play outside,
The snow is piled high and deep in my mind, I’ll be outside I’ll be chipping the ice,
Stuck outside, I’m a little high, won’t go back in I can hear then fight,
Stuck inside, stuck in my mind, I’ll be outside pretending I’m fine.

Will you let you play, just one more time,
Will you be there for me, dear friend of mine,
Will you let me play just one last time,
Will you be there for me, to ease my mind.

A trouble mind drifts so far way,
My troubled mind it’s just here to stay,
Too many years of silence, so much more to say,
So let me take you back, to the day I broke away.

Walking downhill, in fresh fallen snow,
Don’t know where I’ll be welcome to go,
The change in my pocket is the only sound,
There is no one else around.

The Day I broke away,
I Thought it’d be a sunny day

More than I could take,
I had to go away,
The cycle had to break
I Thought it’d be a sunny day

From Super Fun Cleanup Site:

Can’t Turn You On

Ego Bursting in My head,
Tried so hard my hands turned red,
But I can’t turn you, I can’t turn you on.

Wasting time just making this,
Growing old just to pay for it,
But I can’t turn you, I can’t turn you on.

Maybe it was never meant to be,
All the possibilities,
Of you and me, make it big together
Forever and ever amen.

Breathing Deep and feeling faint,
All played out my heart gave way,
But I can’t turn you, I can’t turn you on.

Stuck inside a chorus here,
Questioning the will to care,
But I can’t turn you, I can’t turn you on.

When Our Time Comes

It’s not that we cling, desperately,
It’s just our thing you know, we’re human beings,
Shamelessly, try to make you see,
That I’m hopelessly in love with you,
Hopelessly in love it’s true.

Come on baby let’s go out tonight, A walk in the square,
If you think you’re feeling alright well, invite me up the stairs,
In the morning we can say little things like I love you,
If you want to go again well, there’s nothing in the world,
I would rather be doing than this, right here.

You say to me without any doubts, tonight our hearts are young,
Will we still be strong, When our time comes?

Embarrassing, I can hardly sing anything but these songs for you,
Fatally, I must say, in every way, I would die for you,
Hopelessly in love with you,
Hopelessly in love it’s true,
Baby I would die for you.

Come on baby grab a bite tonight, something we can share,
If you think it’s feeling alright well, invite me up the stairs,
In morning we can have little things like, toast and juice,
If you want to go again well, there’s nothing in the world,
I would rather be doing than this, right here.

Elon What’s the Frequency

I slip into a daze as I drift past the ages, when everything just fell apart,
If there is one thing I would like to hold onto, it’s the feeling of a fragile heart,
Worn on your sleeve, well its time to leave.

It’s time to leave, it’s time to leave and go where nobody has gone before,
Right out the door, on channel four, on channel four.

Sift through the sands of an hour glass left standing on a bare table made of old stone,
Smash it with you fist into a million pieces, it will only help for awhile,
A feeling so vile, like you’re on trial.

Like you’re on trial, Like you’re on trial for the very soul of our brightest star,
We’ve come so far, I’ll see you on Mars, see you on Mars.

Rise up young minds in all your glory, you’ll deal the saving blow,
If there is one thing you’ve go to let go of, the feeling that it’s all for show.

Look out below, look out below and I’ll wave through the swirl of a red dust world,
It’s outward we turn, its oh so absurd, oh so absurd.

Two hundred

You’ve got two hundred reasons, not to give up,
You’ve got two hundred reasons, all to do with bad luck.

I’ll guess you’ll be taking the long way around.

I guess you really know, how to win,
So come on baby, roll the dice again.

I guess you could say you were lost and never found.
I guess you, you won’t be coming back around.

Well go ahead and drive yourself into oblivion,
Well go ahead and see if I care,
Go ahead, get blasted, there is no way to move past it,
This will be the last song for you.

You got a double wide on the road, instantaneous box canyon abode,

I guess you’ll be living where you can’t be found.

Get on the road, feel your age, you’re dealt a hand, it’s aces and eights.

I guess you could say you were lost and never found.
I guess you won’t be coming back around.

Hand on a Gun

A pocket of slugs, can feel the weight,
Maybe he doesn’t care, already sealed his fate,
It’s getting warmer, he can feel the high,
Embrace his fantasies, renew his denial.

He’s got a little something for you baby, Promise you won’t tell,
Nothing penetrates the static like a Hand on a Gun,
You want to have some fun, just a gosh dang son of a gun,
He’s gunning for you, he’s gunning for you.

Pools of blood, I can see the faces,
Those who dared random times and places,
Can he feel no shame, running through his hands?
Nothing to stop him now, from the task at hand.

He’ll be bump stock rocking all over, he’ll put you in your place,
He’ll be wearing a full metal jacket that says NRA, you ought to come our way,
Just the price we all have to pay, just to live free.

He wants to live free with an AR-15.

Paying in cash he’s a cold little sucker,
He’s cold little sucker with a gun,
Lying out his ass, he’s a stupid little sucker,
He’s a stupid little sucker on the run with a gun,
Is this the price we all to pay, where everybody everyone we all get a gun,
Is this the price we all to pay, where everybody everyone we all lose a son.

All My thoughts and I’ll pray, another bullet has gone astray,
I live for the day, the hippie liberals take your guns away.

I bet you’ve never been here before, I bet you’ve only lied,
I bet you don’t know nothing about nothing, all Jekyll and Hide,
The cyanide in you mind, now is about the time we say goodbye.

Say goodbye.

Father Joe

Father Joe eyes Confirmation, a young boy in his early teens,
Looks a little like the last two, I think those boys live down on Blaine,
Sorry if this gets uncomfortable, to sing along might feel weird too,
When it’s Cardinals and Coaches and bishops and kin,
You know there is still much left to do.

Father joe what’s wrong?
The color has left your face,
Now that we all know, the true measure of your disgrace.

Father Joe eyes his next transfer, to a town where nobody knows,
The kinds of things he likes to do, when he can get you alone,
It’s Cardinals and Coaches and bishops and kin, nobody seems to care,
Destroying young lives with their lust and and their lies,
We look on in vacant stares.

It’s shame shame shame shame on you,
When we rise up, we’ll rise up and your through,
Play the blame game, the blame is all on you,
When we rise up, we’ll rise up and your through.

Global Warning

Just before the rains begin, and everything is burning down,
floating in the Cali winds, angry words of a foolish clown,
You don’t know the half of it, go get your rakes and brooms,
Tell all the wild beasts and things it’s time to clean their rooms.

Will it take a little girl from Sweden to save the world,
I’ll just keep on surfing hoping to ride that curl,
How many Wallabies left, I think its less than ten,
How can we ever hope to change the hearts of these evil men.

Don’t look me, look at the science baby,
The ancient philosophies all say its true,
There is nothing left to do, what’s more to prove.

Watching all the snow fly by, knowing it will melt to fast,
The ebb and flow of the tides, that come in and last and last and last and last,
You don’t know the half of it, Shanghai will be no more,
They’re calling out the royal guards, I think they’re going to war.

Silly Girl Love

She don’t mind the rain,
She’ll sit out in those puddles for half the day,
She’s all wrapped up in a thick red coat,
The rain is going to let up, she just has to wait it out.

If you want some love today, she’ll be here for awhile,
If you look into those big brown eyes, you’re sure to get a smile.

Silly girl Love,
Silly girl, I love you.

She’ll tear down the fences around you heart,
With all of her little loves and charms,
She’s a joker and pretty girl,
We’re not exactly sure but she may be a princess too.

I know it will never be the same,
I’ll miss all those silly games that we played,
In our hearts we know that you’re OK,
I’ll see you again my friend, someday.
