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

Hi. I'm Ed. First off, thanks for listening. 

You might notice a link below to a blog site John Eagle and I started to add a new dimension to the stories we tell. 

Once I played in a band that had two Elvises (Elvi) and adopted the pseudonym edro as a cover.  

Mostly it is me playing guitar, keyboards, mandolin, and whatever else makes sense for a song. Most of the songs are original with a few live. The originals are written and performed by edro. I have been fortunate lately to be involved with some collaborations with some real fine folks.

The intro was written when I first joined SoundCloud. While I collaborate with many fine folks, John Eagle and I have written hundreds of songs together. We are working pretty hard writing good songs these days.
