The Dot Song

THE WAY THAT IT HAS TO BE <lyrics>

CLAIRE:
IT’S THE WAY THAT IT ALWAYS WAS.
YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW, YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW.
THE BODY DOES WHAT IT ALWAYS DOES:
THINGS’LL BREAK SOMEHOW, YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW.
YOU KNOW YOU ONLY LAST SO LONG,
YOU KNOW YOU’RE ONLY MADE SO WELL,
AND YOU’LL BE GONE EVENTUALLY –
‘CAUSE THAT’S THE WAY THAT IT HAS TO BE.
TIME GOES BY LIKE IT HAS TO GO

CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS:
FLYING BY LIKE LIGHT, FLYING BY LIKE LIGHT

CLAIRE:
THE SUMMER RAIN MUST TURN INTO SNOW

CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS:
EVERY DAY EACH NIGHT, FLYING BY LIKE LIGHT

CLAIRE:
BUT WHO SAYS ENDINGS MUST BE SAD?
WHO SAYS GOODBYES AREN’T JUST ROUTINE?
SEEMS LIKE A NORMAL THING TO ME

CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS:
‘CAUSE THAT’S THE WAY THAT IT HAS TO BE.

CLAIRE:
WHEN THAT FINAL MOMENT COMES,
I’LL SAY HI, AND SHAKE ITS HAND.
BE POLITE AND LET IT IN.
BUT IF I’M STILL HERE FOR NOW,
I KNOW HOW TO LIVE
DON’T RESIST THE WAY THINGS ARE.
DON’T FORGET HOW GOOD IT’S BEEN.
IT’S THE WAY THAT IT ALWAYS WAS

CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS:
IT’LL BE OKAY, IT’LL BE OKAY

CLAIRE:
A ROBOT DOES WHAT SHE ALWAYS DOES

CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS
IT’S THE ONLY WAY, IT’LL BE OKAY

CLAIRE:
YOU KNOW YOU’RE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK.
YOU KNOW YOU’RE MADE TO TAKE A LOT.
AND IF IT DOESN’T COME FOR FREE,
WELL THAT’S THE WAY THAT IT HAS TO BE.

CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS:
IT’S THE WAY THAT IT ALWAYS WAS
IT’S THE WAY THAT IT ALWAYS WAS
IT’S THE WAY THAT IT ALWAYS WAS

TODAY THE AIR IN SEOUL
IS VERY CLEAR AND WARM.
TODAY THE SMILES TOO
ARE WARMER THAN THE NORM.
THOUGH THE CHANGE IS NOT PROFOUND,
THERE’S A SPECIALNESS GOING AROUND –
LET’S ENJOY THE DAY!
WATCHING FROM THE WINDOW AS THE MORNING CROWDS APPEAR
PICTURING THE PLACES THEY ARE GOING
SOON THE RUSH IS OVER AND THE SIDEWALK STARTS TO CLEAR
THEN I START MY DAY IN HERE!
THE WORLD WITHIN MY ROOM -
THE PERFECT PLACE TO EXPLORE FROM.
I NEVER NEED MORE FROM
THE WORLD WITHIN MY ROOM.
I CHOOSE A BOOK AND I READ IT.
A PLACE TO RECHARGE WHEN I NEED IT -
AND IT’S ALL WITHIN MY ROOM!

World Within My Room (Excerpt) <Musical Preview>

Porkchop (GT-007)
Tonight at 9pm on WKCR 89.9fm!
If you can’t listen live, you can find it on the WKCR soundcloud now (link in bio)

Porkchop takes us on an intergalactic journey. In his own words, house was a “feeling” before it became a discrete genre - a “million different flavors brought together to make party music.” And this mix is about as multilayered as Porkchop himself: disc jockey all over the city, producer, skater, rockstar, art mover. Tune in for a journey through vibrating musical vistas and discussion on, among other things... the moon-like landscape of Utah?

As ever, "repost" to help us spread the word of P O R K C H O P aka S S P S aka B L A C K G I G I

Donkey Kong Bananza OST - Fractone Village (Hilltop Layer)

music & lyrics by Eli Bolin & Mike Pettry
for The Lobby Project 2017

THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS A BAD GUY WITH A GUN
IS A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN
A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN
THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS A BAD GUY WITH A GUN
IS A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN
AND BACKGROUND CHECKS
AND A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN
 
THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS A BAD GUY WITH A GUN
IS A GOOD GUY WITH A LAW DEGREE
WHO USES IT TO CLOSE GUN SHOW LOOPHOLES
AND ANOTHER THING THAT STOPS A BAD GUY WITH A GUN
IS A BAN ON SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS
COMPREHENSIVE MENTAL HEALTH CARE
AND A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN
 
“A well regulated Militia being necessary
to the security of a free State
the right of the people
to keep and bear Arms
shall not be infringed”
 
AS YOU CAN SEE THERE’S NO ROOM FOR INTERPRETATION
A MILITIA THAT IS REGULATED, DON’T NEED NO REGULATION
SURE, A BAD GUY WITH A GUN CAN CAUSE A LOTTA DEVASTATION
SO YOU’RE GONNA NEED A GOOD GUY LIKE ME
OR THE OTHER FIFTY FIVE MILLION AMERICAN
HEROES WITH GUNS
 
THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS A BAD GUY WITH A GUN
IS A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN
LIKE THE THREE PERCENT OF AMERICANS WHO OWN HALF THE GUNS IN THE USA
THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS A BAD GUY WITH A GUN
IS A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN
AND BACKGROUND CHECKS
AND CLOSING GUN SHOW LOOPHOLES
A BAN ON SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS
COMPREHENSIVE MENTAL HEALTH CARE
MANDATORY WAITING PERIODS
COMMON SENSE REFORM INSTEAD OF THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
LABELING THE NRA 
AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION
AND DON’T FORGET
A GOOD GUY, YES A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN

A Good Guy With A Gun
