This has been such a crazy year. I'm surprised someone hasn't suggested going back to human sacrifice to appease all the angry gods. This is my song satire of that thought. All in fun, please send any angry letters directly to my lawyer, Dr Gonzo...

Lyrics:
People gather in the town square
The band shell is up
The fireworks are popping
The ticker tape parade
You've been chosen for this journey
Because things are really, really bad
We're going back to the old ways
Sweet smelling sacrifice
The gods are angry
They don't listen to advice
This is the price to realign our lives
Sweet smelling sacrifice

(Townspeople: Ohhh yeah!)
The towns all here
And the Mayor has the key
The band is firing up     :-D
And the alter is ready
The band is drumming
The tribal drums are humming
(Stoner: Good drummers, they're real tight drummers)

Well, we thought that things would just pass
We thought that this might just be a simulation
In the universe's ass
But things didn't get any better
Civilization can't agree on anything 
But we think this is the right thing to do
(Town Shaman: Let me escort you up to the platform. Watch your feet, there's some burning embers there. Just put on this headdress)
Sweet little sacrifice 
Sweet smelling sacrifice
You've been training for this your entire life
All that fast food and television
(Stoner: Oy!)
(The ceremony begins!)

Sweet smelling sacrifice
Congratulations!
Sweet smelling sacrifice

Sweet Smelling Sacrifice

The lyrics goeth thusly:

Dogmatist insistence, compromise persistence
Poisonous necessities, extinction resistance
Merry Gerry-pandering, oblique meandering
Moments of clarity, hipsterous dexterity
Contraphobic sanity, Ponderous calamity
Peripheral profanity, Stat-packed insanity
Throwaway connectiveness, ultra-bright defectiveness
Nominated reprobate, virtuous advocate

Deceptive conformity, emotional deformity
Factual ambiguity, intellectual nudity 
Off the shelf pomposity, counterfeited prudity
Border-line depravity, empathetic cavity
Hand-wrung gesturing, half-baked posturing
Blame game moronity, stupefied stubbornity
Blinkered conformity, dubious patternity

They’re laughing at you 

Wall to wall stupidity, stupefied community
Working, working tirelessly, optimist futility 
Easy sell simplicity, smugnorant complicity
Manipulated ignorance, proudly flaunted bigot-trance 
Cheer the nicely spoken thief, Kick the gift horse in the teeth, 

They’re laughing at you, because you want it to be true

GadDad Rant

I saw kings and queens and horses and fools
on a black & white board in a game with no rules
high heeled ladies dripping with jewels
and beggars a begging with an eye that drools
I saw scenes oh man i can hardly tell
some obscene and bizarre mixing heaven and hell
a cold silent spring a white masquerade
in the middle of June a Halloween parade
not one pink elephant in sight
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
I saw a pale frozen sun as from the outer space
saw jailers on the run not wearing a face
blazes a burnin’ the old mountain range
hurricanes blowing like a mind that’s deranged
I saw things oh man you wouldn’t believe
it’s crazy what a brain in sleep can conceive
anger and thunder black turning to fade
the future a swinging on the edge of a blade
in the yellowish sky no unicorns in flight
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
I saw Jesus bad tripping alongside Broadway
some tarot cards reader having nothing to say
but also i found as i passed my way
an orphan baby sparrow and that made my day
I saw a film oh man i just lack the words
and the screen was as large as the entire world
watchers a walking in a state of stupor
wondering what’s my acting and who’s the director
but no bonze in the air gliding on a kite
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
I saw thousands of planes dead stuck on the ground
such a blast in an harbor it exploded the town
broken wings broken hearts in the port of shadows
a rastaman playing Piaf singing la vie en rose
I saw a woman oh man who gave me an eye
saying we’ll meet again in the sweet bye and bye
i got lost on my way and forced to the ground
i got caught in a loop like in 4th time around
down the pit did i see any flickering light?
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
I saw lovers and friends who could not embrace
armies of zombies looking for solace
i heard echoes in time from the sweet golden age
of parsley and thyme rosemary and sage
I saw you oh man and you didn’t look great
petrified like you saw a demon at your gate
and while deciphering as a riddle your frown
i wondered could it mean the whole world’s upside down
and still no pink elephant in sight
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
With some hopes and illusions tight clenched in my fist
i wandered along the old route 66
but trying to express all that i missed
it’s trying to grab a ghost in the mist
And i ain’t superstitious but i sure did see
a black cat in the night with eyes glaring at me
what i saw my friend was beyond belief
and i hoped that the morning would bring some relief
but alas alas what is life but a dream
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
And for sure not pink elephant in flight
In the dream i had last night
And the ones that i love i held them so tight
In the dream i had last night
And i enjoyed the past as a Turkish delight
In the dream i had last night
In the dream i had last night
