LYRICS
One and the same thing
Is one and the same
What do you bring to the table
Is your boasting just a fable
Surely, you’re jesting…
I’d rather be toasting… the game

The matador and his sportsmanship
Just couldn’t let ’em “stick it to it”
Ku Klux Klan with their bullwhip
Just couldn’t let ’em “stick it to it”

LYRICS
When the gates of hell fell
Closing behind
Have you lost your mind

Something smell like rotten eggs
Burning sulfur
Brimstone
A terrible smell for all but the demon
A terrible smell for the human

The gates of hell fell
You started to tell
As you looked behind
You’d lost your mind

The gates of hell fell

Up close it looks like their closed

The gates of hell slam shut
No if and or but
And as it comes closed
Don’t let it hit you in the butt
If I had a lil’ more class
I’d say don’t let it hit you in the….

The gates of hell fell
Can you tell
When they close behind
If you’ve lost your mind

LYRICS
You can set thee free
Free
If it was up to me
I’d set thee free
But it’s up to you
Do you know what to do?
Set thee free

If it was up to me
I would set thee free
But if you wanna come true
It’s up to you
You have got to set thee free

It’s true
It’s up to you
You know
It’s true
It’s up to you
To set thee free
Open up your cage
Shed your rage
Shed your cage

The choice is in your voice
Raise your voice and make your choice
Set thee free

LYRICS
1 = 1 — argument won
2 = 2 — holds true for you
3 = 3 — easy for me to see
4 = 4… need any more?

The tautology of you and me
That which must be, must be
Give-up the attack on fact
Look for worth in truth

Ta-ta tautology
La-la logically

Can’t be forgot
I am, or I am not
One certainly must be
Ta-ta tautology

ABOUT THE SONG
Dm F
Bb Dm

A tautology is a statement that is necessarily true, true by definition, and true under any conditions. A tautology is a repetition of the meaning of a statement, using different words or symbols. According to Ayer, the statements of logic and mathematics are tautologies.

Sickle And Hammer.mp3

LYRICS
Everybody is rushing to have a revolution
Yet they’ve got no system substitution
Nobody is looking to find a solution
Instead pushing for a Russian revolution
Could be the fall of us all (x2)

For the laborers, the hammer will fall
For the peasantry, the Reaper’s sickle
When death does call
She’s none to fickle
Could be the fall of us all (x2)

Everybody is flushing their toilet
Forgetting whose downstream from their inlet
Can’t just keep streaming our crap
Onto our neighbors’ lap
Could be the fall of us all (x2)

ABOUT THE SONG
D Em G A D
C G D
C A D

A song about being careful what you wish for:

The hammer and sickle (☭) is a Communist symbol that was conceived during the Russian Revolution. At the time of creation, the hammer stood for industrial laborers and the sickle for the peasantry; combined they stood for the worker-peasant alliance for socialism and against reactionary movements and foreign intervention.

LYRICS
From when you rise under the sunrise
’till the day’s undone under the setting sun
May all your dreams come true
While doing what it is you do

From when you go to sleep at night
’til that first ray of the new day’s light
May all your dreams come true
Dreaming the dreams that you do

In the scenes from your dreams
Do you dream in colors… ya know… colors of the rainbow?
Who gets the pot ‘o gold
How is your story told?

Ride the time wave of high tide
Leaving the past on the crest of the present
Roll in breaking on the sure (shore) of the future

A full moon tugging at you
Gonna pull you through
Acceleration floatation
Articulation of our manifestation

Breaking your record
Recording your time
See how The Book looks
On the line that’s mine
Prophet or loss
In the striking of life’s chord

Oh, Lord, please don’t leave it to a coin toss

When you came into view
Wasn’t sure what to do
Lookin’ like a heartbreaker

A cute lil’ riddle
Sure plays a mean fiddle
Lookin’ like a heartbreaker

When you take your guitar stance
Wonderin’ if I stand a chance
Lookin’ like a heartbreaker

Then you sing the most amazing thing
The smile you bring… better than anything
Lookin’ like a heartbreaker

Up over head
A clear blue sky
Have you said
Your purpose… why?

A reason to be
Be one with free

Under your feet
There’s solid ground
Can your feat
Ever be found?

Buffoons to the left
Hypocrites to the right
Blatant theft
In plain sight

LYRICS
We’ve been straying a ways
From our better days
On a path of destruction
Evolution dysfunction
Mating with Neanderthal
Going to lead to our fall
Take on the shape
Of crawling back to the ape

And at this rate (And at this rate)
Approaching our expiration date
And at this rate (And at this rate)
Casting our destiny’s fate

We’ve been straying a ways
From our better days
On a path to damnation
Eternal dysfunction
Any orgy of imps
Resembling chimps
Squirting demons’ seaman
On the Succubus in all of us
