The world is a quagmire 
Of tyrants and scapegoats 
Sociopaths run the asylum 
If you ain’t with ‘em 
You’re against ‘em 
And considered a bum 
 
A trip to the store 
For a bottle of courage 
You encounter the real lunatics 
Gloating of their wealth 
All bloated and dreary 
The picture of pompous health 
 
Chorus 
I don’t face the world 
Without a toke 
And a cuppa Joe 
If you want clarity 
And inner peace 
It’s the only way to go 
 
Politicians ramble 
To hear their own voice 
While the sheep listen 
Then shout and rejoice 
There isn’t one word of meaning 
The poppycock of the perverse 
 
Reactionaries everywhere 
From sea to shining sea 
Not an ounce of critical thinking 
Not even at High Tea 
Vitriol and spoiled cabbage 
Just for you and me 
 
Chorus 
I don’t face the world 
Without a toke 
And a cuppa Joe 
If you want clarity 
And inner peace 
It’s the only way to go 
 
Is there a savior 
Clear-minded of purpose 
Out there somewhere 
Intent to save the day? 
Or are we doomed 
With an Era of Bad Feeling 
In a game we shouldn’t play? 
 
Chorus 
I don’t face the world 
Without a toke 
And a cuppa Joe 
If you want clarity 
And inner peace 

Toke and a Cup of Joe

If what I'm drinkin’ bothers you
Cuz it makes me feel OK

If what I'm smokin’ bothers you
Cuz it takes the pain away

Does the fact that I'm not here
Bother you
Cuz it makes me feel OK

I've been gone for far too long
And that’s ok

Chorus
I'm not about to change my ways
Not about to change one thing

You had a place in my world
You had me in the palm of your hand

We lost the spark uh huh
When we burned it all down

If who I see bothers you
Oh well that’s ok

If what I’m takin’ bothers you
Cuz it makes me feel OK

Does the fact that I'm not here
Bother you

Cuz I never think about you

I've been gone for far too long
And that’s ok

Chorus
I'm not about to change my ways
Not about to change one thing

You had a place in my world
You had me in the palm of your hand

We lost the spark
When we burned it all down

We lost the spark
When we burned it all down

Sorry Life

Don't Call Me Darlin'

THEY SAY A TOAD IS ONE UGLY CREATURE 
THEY NEVER CHECKED THEMSELVES  IN A MIRROR 
THEY TELL YOU SO THEY TELL YOU NO
THEY HAVE TOLD YOU LONG AGO
FOLLOW THE FLOW AND BEND DOWN LOW
ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS BLOW

THEY SAY DON’T TRY THE GANGES RIVER
THAT’S IF YOU’RE NOT A TRUE BELIEVER
THEY TELL YOU STOP THEY TELL YOU GO
WE HAVE BEEN TOLD LONG AGO
YOU SHOULD EAT NO NO YELLOW SNOW
ONE THING YOU SHOULD DO IS BLOW

THEY TRY TO OVERBLOW YOUR PICTURE
UNTIL YOUR FACE WON’T SHOW IN THE MIRROR
DO AS THEY SAY NOD AND OBEY
WHO YOU ARE DON’T LET IT SHOW
JUST HOPE AND PRAY WAITING FOR THE DAY
WHEN THE TIME HAS COME TO BLOW
BLOW

SOME ONE SOMETIME SOMEWHERE
A WHOLE LIFETIME TO SHARE
OR JUST A LAZY AFTERNOON
UNDER THE SILVER MOON

SOMEWHERE SOMEONE SOMETIME
A BRAND NEW SUN TO SHINE
A DIVE IN A SLEEPY LAGOON
LOVE IN A SILVER SPOON

AAAAh
				
KNOCK KNOCK MAY I COME IN ?
MERRY GO ROUND
MERRY GO ROUND`
MERRY GO ROUND..........
