Looking out for Dry Land
Taking my time, riding a wave, I’m drowning
In the rays of a wonderful sun
If life was a beach, the devil would preach, I’m frowning
Without a balance, it wouldn’t be any fun
I smoke when I drink, I talk when I think, I’m crazy
I’m just scared by my point of view
I got wheels on my shoes, wheels on my bags, I’m lazy
Don’t even answer the phone unless it’s you
We can all talk a big game until we are sleeping
Toss and turn, spitting out the secrets we are keeping
There’s garbage all around, the piles they are heaping
We all know what you sow is what you’re reaping.
Headed out of town, jump on the freeway
Turn the radio on, hit the cruise control
If I’m driving too slow, I’m sorry for the delay
I got a pocket of change that could satisfy any toll
Someday we will get to where we’re going
If we run out of land, we’ll take a boat to sea
We haven’t slept for days and it’s showing
But if we fall asleep we might miss a moment or three
Praying for rain, looking out for dry land
I hope to God we find ourselves and island
Somewhere off the coast of Thailand
I hope to God we find ourselves and island
We haven’t slept for days and it’s showing
Maybe someday we’ll get to where we’re going
We talk a big game until we are sleeping
Toss and turn spitting out the secrets we are keeping
Time flies by when all your years are leaping
We all know what you sow is what you’re reaping

Dinosaur Blood
Well it feels like the end of it all
The sirens are starting to call
Gotta find a way to survive
We’re running out of flame
It’s time to revive
I see you digging deep, deep down in the mud
I said “What you lookin’ for” you said “Dinosaur Blood”
We keep on driving, we keep on chugging along,
Choking up the sky with the dust of the dinosaur bones.
We can only grow when the ashes of desire
Replenish the earth with a baptism of fire
Let’s wipe that slate real clean
Maybe this time we’ll figure out
What this life really means…..YEAH.

Trickle Down
There’s a war for you mind, there’s a war for your soul
Demons of greed with the most dishonorable goals
There’s a time to listen, there’s a time to talk
Right now we must stand up and take a walk
There can be no peace until there is justice
There can be no justice until we take a stand
Against the bad man they put up on your tv
They tell you he’s good, saying “wait for the money trickle down”
With starvations, it’s a great motivation,
Saying it’s the poor man’s fault while they’re laughing on their way
To the bank that holds your money hostage, makes their wallet swell
While the rest of us are living in hell
Let’s hope this time, the message is clear
No longer we cower down or tremble in fear
We got the truth, no longer we slumber
We got the data and facts, and we got the numbers
There can be no peace until there is justice
There can be no justice until we take a stand
Against the bad man they put up on your tv
They tell you he’s good, saying “wait for the money trickle down”
With starvations, it’s a great motivation
Saying “you should get a job” while they move it overseas
To Malaysia or somewhere in Asia, sell it back to you as a
Radio or color T.V.

Caving In
Roll up your sleeves and get to work
Resist the urge to be a jerk
What we’re waiting for is something real
What we’re dying for is something to feel
I can’t be blamed for everything
Give me something that tangible
Hit me with a truth that’s undeniable
Perhaps a little bit maniacal
Lest we say it’s diabolical
Might even touch upon the biblical
Make it spiritual, metaphysical
It makes me feel all whimsical
Like a kid with a popsicle
I’m trying hard to comprehend
I feel my brain caving in

Mama Said
I don’t know why you fussing all the time
Ain’t got no time to listen to you whine
Brush them teeth in your head
Turn out the light and get in bed
Your mama said, your mama said go to bed
Your mother and I need some time to ourselves
We got some things to do and we don’t need any help
It’s a quarter after nine, ain’t got no time to read a book
Honey child you got school in the morning, don’t you give me that look
Brush them teeth in your head, turn out the light and get in bed
Your mama said, your mama said go to bed
Now don’t you be disrespecting your mother and me
We got to get some sleep ourselves, but first we’re gonna watch some adult T.V.
Something not PG
