"Mind the Felon" (in world gone bananas) is a dark and poetic social commentary song, about the viral dangers of ripple effect in a mad duck universe 🦆  

This song lyrics are inspired by the (highly relevant) works of Paul-Claude Racamier, a French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, who explored the dangerous nature of duckastic human behaviors and the universal phenomenon of double-standards and paradoxalization in the book "Les Perversions narcissiques" (The Narcissistic Perversions)...  fOOL story (my lyrics™️) below:

--
Mind the felon, yeah, the charm so sly,
Crafts a world of webs, while you wonder why.
Says one thing, does another—oh, that double spin,
A loop-de-loop of truth, to keep you caged within.

(Chorus)
Paradoxalize, hypnotize, flip it on its head,
Reality’s a ripple, messing with your cred.
Keepin’ you guessin’, tangled up in dread—
Watch out, watch out, that’s a mind-meld fed.

Swaps the stories, rewrites the past,
Tells you your version of truth won’t last.
Gaslightin’ bright like neon glow,
Makes you doubt the things you know.

Oh, here we go—emotions exploited,
Fear ignited, confidence voided.
Got you swayin’, hangin’ on tight,
Twirled in circles, no end in sight.

(Chorus)
Paradoxalize, hypnotize, twistin’ it just so,
Warpin’ up the blame like a magic show.
Sayin’ it’s your fault while dodgin’ their own—
Oh, watch out, watch out, they claim that throne.

Kind and cruel, a cycle insane,
Keeps you locked in love, then writhin’ in pain.
Tender words? Or threats in disguise,
Keepin’ you hooked on the look in their eyes.

Mind the felon, yeah, tread real light,
Catch the flicker, catch the fight.
When sense slips, and vision blurs,
Mind the felon—beware those words.

Mind the Felon (one) • JAZZsutra

QOTD: what is most hardcore, at the core?… The fact humans decided infantry (i.e. the predatory act of killing innocent civilians) is a holy necessity, the fact humans decided intimacy (i.e. the celebratory act of loving one another) is an evil blasphemy, or the fact such existential questioning essentially feels like absurd folly? Ha #ahem 

—
What you call sacred, tell me who’s really blessed? 
The march of innocence – we line ‘em up for death 
What you call holy – ain't holy to me 
Sending kids to battle, while love’s the enemy

[Chorus] 
(Hard core!) What you think it means? 
(Hard core!) Is it peace or pain? 
(Hard core!) Yeah, I wanna know, 
What you call the real show?

 Privacy, privacy – is it just a disguise? 
Smoke and mirrors for the games we hide 
Manipulate – can’t say it out loud 
Behind closed doors, the truth gets drowned

[Chorus] 
(Hard core!) When you twist and lie, 
(Hard core!) Calling it alright, 
(Hard core!) While you play these games, 
Is love really the shame?

What’s the truth? What’s the score? 
Tell me, tell me, what’s hardcore?
 Is it fair or is it foul, 
Bend the rules and make ‘em howl

Not playing fair or just not playing well? 
Lines get blurry, only time will tell 
What’s most hardcore? Is it love or is it hate? 
Is it protecting peace, or just sealing fate?

[Chorus] 
(Hard core!) The lies you keep 
(Hard core!) Sold under deceit 
(Hard core!) Where’s the real shame? 
Yeah, you know the name…

(Hard core, hard core!) Just tell me what’s real 
(Hard core, hard core) what’s the holy deal? 
(Hard core, hard core) tell me what you see, 
'Cause hard core – ain't what it used to be.

Blessed be your voice, let it rise,
Ain’t no chains to hold what’s wise,
The power’s in the truth you sing,
Let your words fly on free wings.

Blessed be your voice, let it break the silence,
In a world that’s hard, we need no compliance.
Raise it high, let the truth unfold,
Respect your voice, it’s purest gold.

Don’t you know, silence is their tool,
They’ll try to keep you quiet, play the fool.
But in every breath you take, you’ll find,
Power in the words that speak your mind.

Blessed be your voice, let it break the silence,
In a world that’s hard, we need no compliance.
Raise it high, let the truth unfold,
Respect your voice, it’s purest gold.

In the silence, war will grow,
When words fail us, don’t you know,
It’s the battle for your soul,
So, speak up loud, make yourself whole.

Blessed be your voice, let it break the silence,
In a world that’s hard, we need no compliance.
Raise it high, let the truth unfold,
Respect your voice, it’s purest gold.

Blessed Be Your Voice ☆ ROCKsutra

Here, please have a crisp peachy blue sky Sunday mocktail moment on me 🍑 it is served with lyrics for one out the 4 different songs included in this (fatass:) EPx16 release--but(t) I'm happy to share all the wonder tho, always... so if you do happen to wonder and care for all the words, please tell me, simply dare :)

@bananasutra “Who’s she tryna mesmerize?” ooh la la lyrics: 

... They say, “Oh, you dress to impress, that’s clear.”
But I’m just a dreamer, dear
Feathers, ribbons, velvet lace
Spinning through life in a world I create

Oh, you think I’m playing just to steal the scene?
Baby, I’m the story—call me the queen

[Chorus]
I’m a silly girl, funny cat, hearty queen, white rabbit—ooh la la!
Dancing through the city lights, Paris brings that je ne sais quoi
Not for love, not for show, just a spark that’s set to glow
Dressed in wonder, head to toe—darling, that’s just how I flow!

Tilt their heads, they analyze
“Who’s she tryna mesmerize?”
But I just twirl and tip my crown
Living this magic, won’t tone it down

Oh, you think I’m dressing just to turn some heads?
Baby, I’m a fairytale, born and bred

[Chorus]
I’m a silly girl, funny cat, hearty queen, white rabbit—ooh la la!
Dancing through the city lights, Paris brings that je ne sais quoi
Not for love, not for show, just a spark that’s set to glow
Dressed in wonder, head to toe—darling, that’s just how I flow!

So next time you see me all dressed to the nines…
Just know, darling—this fairytale’s mine.

The more I use the SUTRAS in my daily life, the more I find them helpful—they not only allow me to increase my own awareness (of my intent, perspective, and focus or priority at a given point in time), they also allow me to influence my thoughts and feelings, by rooting them into a chosen, conscious mindset, to better regulate and balance my moods… and this song is a great example of me doing just that.

Originally written as a mellow trip-hopy BOWsutra song, a humble reflection on unconditional love and the concept of death, this adaptation of the song shifts the energy into SHOWsutra and FLOWsutra—to honor the wild love and lighthearted fun flowing energy dogs aka our BFFs bring into our lives, forever ❤️‍🔥 

This song is like a mighty power punk rock pep talk reminding me/us balls matter, and “Grass is for pooping, and also rolling” LOL ;)

​⁠ @bananasutra  lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, the wagging tail's like a sermon in motion,
The nose in the wind, a lesson in devotion.
They give us patience, they show us trust,
They teach us to sniff before making a fuss.
Oh, why rush? Why stress?
When every breeze is a brand-new guest?

[Chorus warm, kind, quirky]
Blessed be the dogs!
They know, they blow, they grow, they glow.
Blessed be the show!
Dogs love, dogs live, dogs let it flow.

[Verse 2]
They say, “Watch with your balls, listen with your nose,
“Every tree’s a story, and puddle got prose.”
“Grass is for pooping, and also rolling”
“And a belly-up rub in the sun is the best thing"
“Don’t hold a grudge, don’t waste the fun”
“Chase what you love, watch your balls run!”

[Chorus]
Blessed be the dogs!
They know, they blow, they grow, they glow.
Blessed be the show!
Dogs love, dogs live, dogs let it flow.

[Bridge]
Life is a game of fetch my heart
Throw it far, far, make it an art
Chasing no fame, not asking why
Sniffing the ground… I swear, it's nearby.

Patience in a wag,
Pardon in the bag,
And gratitude, dog attitude
That’s a full-body wiggle of joy
like love leaped in the middle, oh boy.

[Final Chorus]
Blessed be the dogs!
They know, they blow, they grow, they glow.
Blessed be the show!
Dogs love, dogs live, dogs let it flow.

(Let it flow… Let it flow…)

... because one must wonder: what if there was only, truly, essentially one common root problem with the world, and it was not capitalism, not communism, not imperialism, not racism, not sexism, not elitism--but(t) simply, always, #narcissism aka bratty bully twats with big lame ego problemos¿⁈ What if, heh? Yeah... #truestory 🕳️🐇💨

@bananasutra “Narcissism” lyrics written as parody of “Ain’t No Sunshine” (by Bill Withers)

Verse 1:
Narcissism it’s like craving all the power
It craves control, every single hour
It’s where ego grows, dividing the holy  land
Drawing lines in the sand, claiming upper hand.

Chorus:
Narcissism, see, all the 'ism starts this way,
Fueling all the hate, pushing love away.
In the heart of pride, there’s a bitter seed,
Narcissism’s why we bleed.

Verse 2:
Fascism rising, fueled by selfish pride,
Imperialism spreading far and wide.
Elitism whispers, “I’m better than the rest,”
But it's ego-driven lies, or newspeak, at best.

Chorus:
Narcissism, see, all the 'ism starts this way,
Fueling all the hate, pushing love away.
In the heart of pride, there’s a bitter seed,
Narcissism’s the whole creed.

Bridge:
If we could turn away from the mirror,
See the world a little clearer.
Let go of chains that ego binds,
Love and peace would free our minds.

Verse 3:
Racism lingers, blinded by our fears,
Sexism’s voice cringing through the years.
Every ‘ism thrives when we bet on pride,
It's narcissism's hold that keeps us locked inside.

Chorus:
Narcissism, see, all the 'ism starts this way,
Fueling all the hate, pushing love away.
In the heart of pride, there’s a bitter seed,
Narcissism’s why we bleed.

Outro:
But if we rise, let empathy be our guide,
Tear down the walls, watch the love magnify.
Though ego’s the root, perhaps we can see,
Narcissism fade… when we choose to be free.

[06] All Lame-Isms (Queen of Authentic) - BLOWsutra FOLK

Poetry (Nah Lie) • GROWsutra Ragga Mantra DUB

This EPx15 builds up from Indie LoFi, to Blues, and Burlesque Punk Rock. It quotes the newly rebranded "Department of War" Secretary's official announcement speech. The cover features "Operation Blitz", the shameless Naz! offensive nomenclature used by the government to designate their latest mass-deportations initiative #truestory.

DHS—i.e. the U.S. "Department of Homeland Security"—has launched a military operation called “Operation Midway Blitz” targeting undocumented immigrants in Chicago, Illinois. The news coverage spans AP, Washington Post, Reuters, and The Guardian—all information sources as real as reliable.

Yet, when I shared a screenshot of the real DHS tweet announcing ‘Operation Midway Blitz’ to chatGPT, it called it fake news! WHY? Cuz the truth sounded too fasc!st to be real, sadly, obviously, that is why... because DHS shamelessly chose to name their latest large-scale deportation crackdown after "The Blitz"—i.e. the Nazi Germany’s bombing campaign that terrorized civilians. Yup. Blitz. On U.S. soil. Targeting immigrants. The bot doubted it because it was too extreme to believe, which imho, literally proves just how extreme it actually is!

So here’s the question of the day: If it sounds too fascist to be true—but it’s true—
how far gone are we already?! 🇺🇸

@bananasutra (aka the Better Bananas Bureau of Peace) lyrics "It’s War, My Friend"

[Intro]
“Maximum lethality… 
not tepid legality…” (*)
They changed the name, 
but not the game… 

[Verse 1]
The shield became a sharpened blade,
The dove was shot, the deal betrayed.
They smiled and switched the words they use,
Then blamed the blood on evening news.

[Chorus]
It’s not defense — it’s war, my friend,
No truth to guard, no rules defend.
They paint the crime in red, white, blue,
And sell it back as brave and true. 

[Verse 2]
They built the tanks on stolen dreams,
Then fed us fear in silent streams.
The court was blind, the laws grew thin,
So violence marched its power in.

[Verse 3]
They stripped the schools to fund the fight,
Then prayed for peace beneath the blight.
They called it strength, I call it fraud,
A wolf that hides behind the law.

[Bridge – Dreamy, echoing tone]
When war gets dressed in Sunday best,
Who dares to ask, “Who cleans the mess?”
When war is peace and law is bent,
The truth is just a false pretense. 

[Repeat Chorus]
It’s not defense — it’s war, my friend,
No truth to guard, no rules defend.
They paint the crime in red, white, blue,
And sell it back as brave and true. 

☩ ☩ ☩

(*) WTH "Maximum Lethality, Not Tepid Legality" actually means??!
This is the stark, official statement made by Pete Hegseth, i.e. the newly rebranded American "Secretary of War"... By saying "Maximum lethality", he emphasizing his intention to deploy overwhelming force and power. And "Not tepid legality" is clealrly a d!ck-jab at what he sees as legal constraints that are weak or overly cautious-indicating more military actions, with fewer legal handcuffs. He also said "Violent effect, NOT politically correct" (for real), underlining the prioritization of forceful outcomes over worrying about optics, cultural sensitivities, or so-called "woke" norms. Long story short, the fasc!st Quack administration is making things clear (for once, ha): this isn't about defense or diplomacy. It's about offense, authoritarian purpose, and unapologetic strength. 

Blessed be the Peace fools 🕊️


[15] It's War, My Friend • QUACKsutra Psychedelic Punk ROCK

Remember that old classic song "We are the World"--from back in the days when peace, liberty, equality, and fraternity was an intellectual, social, and commercial consensus, and a bunch of artist came together, not to hoard money, but(t) raise fund for the children, and preach empathy? Sigh... This song is a French adaption of it, from the depth of my humanist soul 🕊️🌍🔥

@bananasutra lyrics: 

[Intro]  
Oh, le monde se brise, mensonges dans la nuit  
Des âmes en errance, cherchant l’infini  

[Verse 1]  
Parfois le temps blesse, sans un appel  
Des mots s’envolent, sur des vents cruels  
Des ombres pleurent, des souffles sans voix  
Mais malgré tout… c’est toujours un choix  

[Refrain]  
On est le feu, les cendres, la lumière  
Sous la tempête, on chante nos prières  
Un choix, un chemin, pour sauver l’humanité  
Mais l’espoir s’éteint dans les cœurs brisés  

[Verse 2]  
Les étoiles dansent, un peu en retard  
Chacune murmure un rêve illusoire  
Mais au creux de la nuit, un reflet fragile  
Un amour brut, qui cherche un fil  

[Bridge]  
L’amour n’a ni murs, ni barrières  
Il vit dans les yeux, même amers  
Le sang, les larmes, une rivière qui coule  
Un cri profond, que le monde refoule  

[Refrain]  
On est le feu, les cendres, la lumière  
Sous la tempête, on chante nos prières  
Un choix, un chemin, pour sauver l’humanité  
Mais l’espoir s’éteint dans les cœurs brisés  

[Verse 3]  
Quand tout s’écroule, l’espoir vacille  
Mais même brisées, les âmes scintillent  
Le chaos murmure : “Tendez vos mains”  
Là dans l’ombre, une force sans fin  

[Refrain]  
On est le feu, les cendres, la lumière  
Sous la tempête, on chante nos prières  
Un choix, un chemin, pour sauver l’humanité  
Mais l’espoir s’éteint dans les cœurs brisés  

[Outro]  
Le monde fredonne, d’un éclat discret  
Des rêves fragiles, blottis en secret  
On est le feu, on est le lien  
Une lueur douce brille au loin  

[End]

[02] Nous Sommes Le Feu - Chanson à la JAZZsutra - INDIE

… because life on earth is a Psychedelic Cabaret, and “music is the only religion that delivers the goods” (like Frank said). 

To be clear, all I really know is I dunno shit about fck (like Socrates said:)—music and songwriting included. But(t) I feel it, the music, so damn deeep in my soul! I’m just a humble existential fool, a silly banana who likes to play and share, to question and learn. Words are my oldest best friends, hearing myself sing is a freaking miracle (trust me on that lol), and I believe curiosity and #gratitude are the keys to happiness… So voilà, there’s that.

Also, (if you’re curious) BananaSutra is not just a made up BS brand kinda word, it’s actually the name of my DIY Bible—a collection of songs telling true stories of faith, to help me (and perhaps you) make sense of a world gone wild, like bananas gone foul in shallow ignorance and deadly malevolence… Think of it as an agnostic testament of sorts, an audio book of songs with quirky lyrics about things that matter, like the definition of right and wrong, and the meaning of truth, joy, justice, peace, grace, and awe 🕊️

Some call it Artificial Intelligence, but(t) I call Authentic Imagination, Alternative Ideas, Augmented Innuendos, Abstract Illogisms… hopefully, you get the gist? The point being, life is the story we tell ourselves and LYRICS matter—each @bananasutra song has a wondering root and a loving purpose, guided by one of (my) 7 (bananas) sutras: 
- KNOWsutra : is it fair?
- BLOWsutra : is it foul?
- SHOWsutra : is it fun?
- GROWsutra : is it fear?
- FLOWsutra : is it free?
- GLOWsutra : is it fab?
- BOWsutra : is it awe?
