LYRICS
Can you see the beauty in tragedy
Can you see the beauty in travesty
All is not beautiful
Sing “not everything”
All is not beautiful
For whom does the bell ring
Is there any beauty in inequity
Is there any beauty in purgatory
Where is the beauty in self-pity
Where is the beauty in feeling $hitty

LYRICS
The invention of a killing convention
Stealth drone flown to bomb your home
Nothing’s fair in love and war
Modern warfare
So unaware
DA! Double dare
Modern warfare
Mass hallucination hysteria
Dilution of civilization — the staging area
Nothing’s fair in love and war
Blowout navy bomb your baby
Drop your jaw shock and awe
Nothing’s fair in love and war
For the strike force coarse source
Just look in the mirror…
And you’ll be nearer to seeing clearer
Are you aware
You are warfare

LYRICS
Please don’t think that I’m rude if I a don’t answer back
But I’m having some sort-of vision attack
A place where peace rules over the beast
When most is least and least welcomed to their feast
Out of the straits and narrows
The light at the end of our tunnels
Fly with the doves and sparrows
Loving your part in the jungle
Please don’t think that we’re crude if our manners lack
Perhaps it’s you lacking the knack
It’s time all hostilities ceased
And, the promised land released… release realized!

I woke up in the Soho bar when a policeman knew my name. He said,
E D A C G
"You can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away."
I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair
[chorus:]
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin
I stretched back and I hiccuped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way
Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ...
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
[chorus]
I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees
I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?
[chorus]

LYRICS
On an uncharted course into the snow
Where we’re headed… does anybody know
Here we go
Trip, slip, whoa
The sky is dark the pressure low
Wind blowin’ ya to and fro
Like a trip through time
Seeing the scene sublime
Sleddin’ into Armageddon
Fadin’ out in snowmageddon
Snowglobe wizard
White-out blizzard

When your end begins to bleed back
Get to praise the raise…
…ing of the dead
To a new wife wed
From the womb
When the end begins to bleedback again
(repeat)
To a new life led
When the end begins to bleedback again
When the end begins to bleedback again
To be born
From the tomb
When the end begins to bleedback again

LYRICS
Riding on the crest of a wave
On the verge of a surge
Splurge the urge to emerge
Crave from the cradle to the grave
Careful what he took. Thankful so he gave
Live an open book. You’ll be all the rave
Riding on the crest of a wave
Perfectly poised position
Adrenaline acceleration sensation

LYRICS
You can see a conspiracy theory with every entity
Tales of chemtrails blowing hot air in the sails
Oh, no! GMO phobia phenomenon
You just go on and on and on
Yes, it’s freaking me out
How you know nothing about
I mean isn’t it obscene when you won’t give your kid a vaccine
You’re unaware modern healthcare is way better than fair
Beware! Your lack of B12 has left you bewildered
Wondered
You make a fuss about how business treats all of us
I’ll be damned. You don’t understand it’s from your demand
Won’t see clear that nuclear could be our savior
The fusion solution for our pollution

LYRICS
When you check your rearview mirror
Does it get any clearer
The past is coming up fast
Approaching
Encroaching
On living
And, in fact, when you’re looking back
Is your light shinning pitch black
Now, I’m….
In a race against time
The inevitability
Of mortality
The past is coming up fast
How long will a life last?
When you check your rearview mirror
Does it get any clearer
The past is coming up fast
In fact, when you look back
Will you shine pitch black
Or will your “has been” brilliantly beam?
Know the flow of the consciousness stream
Become one with the eternal dream

LYRICS
Here’s to… hoping and praying… hoping and praying… you find your way home
In a crowd yet still alone
Full blown groan
Route unknown
Maybe you wish you hadn’t begun
Your trip back in the fountain of young
Reverting to a baby
Until maybe
You just can’t cope
Sliding down that slippery slope
Here’s to… hoping and praying… hoping and praying… that you can roam… ’till you find your way home

LYRICS
Is the Earth in the way of the Milky Way?
Will our lied ride collide on our inside
The galaxy that contains our Solar System
Our sole our system
Our soul our system
Is Mars not as far… as in “raise the bar”
Or, will our numbness nebula become regular
We’re spacing out without doubt
Do we think our sum greater than the sun
It’s not right if we don’t shine the light
