LYRICS
It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!

Ya know when you’re ready to go
It would be neighborly and nice
If you’d kindly please think twice
And, be one of those that knows
… to pull the door close

It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!

Forget about saving face
It’s time to close this case
Please be nice and think twice
And, be one of those that knows
… to pull the door close

It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!

LYRICS
Are you crazy
Thinking hazy
Are you out of you mind?

Are you nuts
Brains in butts
To all of logic blind?

Oh my goodness the mental illness
A threat to all mankind
Oh my heavens growing misgivin’s
When rage is all you can find

Does your hatred explode
Grey matter overload
Anger mismanagement
… understatement
As the storm clouds loom
Crash! Bang! Boom!

For crying out loud
Nemesis follows Hubris
Dag nab it! You hellish habit
Ethics and morals amiss

Comes around
What goes around
Home is found

Better be careful who I push around
Gonna find out about dishing it out
Time will pass till Karma kicks my ass

Chorus

Better be mindful of where I’m bound
Takin’ in a lesson about taking it
Hold still! This might hurt a bit

Chorus

Better be thankful it wasn’t worse
Coulda ended up in the back of a hearse
Or the glue factory with the ‘ole horses

Ohhhh… I do believe I forgot my fudge
Order in the court. Here comes the Judge.

Toss a maybe our of despair
Is a response even there
Ohhhh… you won’t even budge

To ashes, bashes, clashes, crashes, dashes, flashes, rashes, slashes, smashes, splashes, thrashes, trashes… bring on the lashes

Apply the lashes to I

LYRICS
It kind of helps if you open the door…
Before! Once More! Before!

Chorus
It will be less hard on your head
If you listen to what I said
It’ll be a much better day
If you’ll just listen to what I say

Cut down on yelps by opening the door…
Before! Once More! Before!

Chorus

It’ll be less savage by taking advantage of the handle…
Less scandal

Chorus

I hear ya knockin’ but ya can’t come in

It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

Much easier to pass through
A much wiser thing to do
Time to act your damn age
And minimize the damage

It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

Listen to that slurred speech
You can barely stand on your feet
Not much of a reach
(To say) you’re destined for self defeat

It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

It kind of helps if you open the door…
Before! For sure! Before!
It kind of helps if you open the door…
Before! Once More! Before!

Won’t be as hard on your head
If you open the door instead
You won’t be “that guy” they’ll dread
If you use your head to open the door instead

Chorus

You won’t be going to bed
Wishing yourself dead
When all is done and said
Should have opened the door…
Using your head instead

Ummm… hmmmm
Sitting on a pendulum
The thing will swing
Sitting on a pendulum
Now, here’s the thing…

The scales of justice
Will balance
If the judge won’t get there first
The scales of justice
Will balance
Due process will quench Her thirst

Sitting on a pendulum
Do you feel the sting
Sitting on a pendulum
The hammer brings

The scales of justice
Will balance
No matter the fool’s outburst
The scales of justice
Will balance
Jurisprudence will end up first

Into your heart, it will impart a start

A cricket plays the smallest symphony
Between his shin and his knee
In sympathy
Rub those legs feverously
In a party of pity

A butterfly claps its wings
As the chorus of song birds joins in and sings
“1,2,3… waaa”
Laughing at me not with me “hahaha”

Maybe it’s not too late
To get it straight
Maybe to get it right
Ain’t our of sight?

LYRICS
With the eye of a hawk
She let out a squawk
With the speed of a jaguar
Set the liar on fire
… liar on fire

With the grace of a swan
She showed me the dawn
A situation that’s dire
She wants to set the liar on fire

Being stubborn like a mule
He insists on playing the fool
Thinking all will admire
A liar set on fire

This little piggy went to market
The piggy should have stayed home
This little piggy is out-of-pocket
Does the piggy need a loan?

Not nearly near the bathroom
Barely down the hall
No, nowhere near the stall
And you’ve gotta scratch you ball?

Oh, gloom and doom

Why don’t you smoke a cig
While we dance the pig jig
You can’t get into a bar
Ever think you’ve gone too far?

Don’t you know it’s time to wipe the smirk from your face
A public disgrace

If everyone know
You’ve got your finger up your nose
Clown’s pants down
Or, no emperor… no clothes… no “knows”
