Lyrics:
1 2 3 4
Punk is not dead

Mohawk hair cut
And leather jacket
Denim and chains
And Doc Martens

[Punk is not dead
Rock is not dead] x 2

Walk in the streets
And break the windows
Drinking some beers
And fight with bums
Playing guitar
Loud in a bar
Yelling your rage
And set the fire

[Punk is not dead
Rock is not dead] x 2

Hanging around
With all your dogs
Sleep in a park
And wash in a pool
But must always keep
Rock’n roll attitude
Punk is not dead
Rock Music never dies

[Punk is not dead
Rock is not dead] x 2

[Guitar Solo]

[Punk is not dead
Rock is not dead] x 2

Punk is not dead !

Experimental song created from chords and lyrics generated with Chat GPT AI.
From the AI generated text, I've created a partition with Guitar Pro in respect of BPM and chords. Then I've imported it in Logic Pro X as midi, added synthetic voice with AI lyrics, changed a little bit instruments. 

So human is still needed ... at the moment...
Note that I've also generated the picture with AI.

Lyrics:
Another Ways

(Verse1)
The world around us, so fragile and rare
Nature's wonders, beyond compare
We've exploited and plundered, without a thought
The consequences, now cannot be ignored
The world around us, so fragile and rare
Nature's wonders, beyond compare

We must heal the Earth, together day by day
And start living in another way
In the silence are there other ways ?
By my time is there another way ?

(Verse2)
In the silence are there other ways ?
By my time is there another way ?
In the silence are there other ways ?
By my time is there another way ?
In the silence are there other ways ?
By my time is there another way ?
In the silence are there other ways ?
By my time is there another way ?
In the silence are there other ways ?
By my time is there another way ?

(Verse3)
The oceans weep, choked by plastic debris
Animals suffer, on land and sea
Air poisoned by toxic fumes and arid soil
Climate change, casting shadows of gloom
Is there another way, to heal the earth?
Can we restore its precious worth?

We must heal the Earth, together day by day
And start living in another way
In the silence are there other ways ?
By my time is there another way ?

(Outro) x6
In the silence are there other ways ?
By my time is there another way ?

Lyrics:
Meow (x4)

There is a wicked sound in the basement
Meow, Meow
It creeps up slowly, never hesitant, 
Meow, Meow
It’s got tune that’s so wickedly sweet
Meow, Meow
Don’t go there, if you’re easily spooked
Meow, Meow
It might make you jump or make you fall
Meow, Meow
But if you’re brave, and you don’t scare easy
Meow, Meow
You might find yourself quite breezy
Meow, Meow
It gets louder, the closer you get
Meow, Meow
It’s just the wicked song, playing its game
Meow, Meow

Meow, Meow (x6)

Lyrics:
Lonesome cow-boy
Happy filthy nag

I don’t need anyone on my nag
Don’t recognize any one my nag
I pull the reins and I leave the box
I’ll go to heaven galloping at the speed of hell
And if I fall in hay from my donkey
It is that such was my destiny

Stop
Those lyrics are stupid
Give me my gun and call the sheriff

I don’t need anyone on my nag
Don’t recognize any one my nag
I pull the reins and I leave the box
I’ll go to heaven galloping at the speed of hell
And if I fall in hay from my donkey
It is that such was my destiny

Stop
Is it finally over?
I can’t stand it anymore
OK let’s ride one more time

I don’t need anyone on my nag
Don’t recognize any one my nag
I pull the reins and I leave the box
I’ll go to heaven galloping at the speed of hell
And if I fall in hay from my donkey
It is that such was my destiny

Stop

Lyrics:
Hungry chickens pecking all day
Rockin' the yard in their own wild way

Hungry chickens pecking
Hungry chickens cackling
Hungry chickens laying
Hungry chickens rocking

They may not fly, but they're heavy and strong
Hungry chickens, rockin' all night long

Hungry chickens pecking
Hungry chickens cackling
Hungry chickens laying
Hungry chickens rocking

Hungry chickens rocking

Hungry chickens rocking

Lyrics:
Goldfish
--------

Goldfish, Goldfish
Trapped in a fish tank
Wants to be free

In a small round glass world so clear
It swims trapped in fear
Its dreams confined within a tiny space
Longing freedom in another place
For the open sea, 
Taken captive, his spirit is not free

Goldfish, Goldfish
Trapped in a fish tank
Wants to be free

And everyday its colors fade
As it swims in small circles feeling betrayed
One fateful day as destiny unfolds
The goldfish seizes a chance, breaking the mold

Goldfish, Goldfish
Trapped in a fish tank
Wants to be free

By a crack in the glass it slips away
Into the vast ocean no longer astray
With melodies that echo its story's told
The goldfish journey is a tale of courage and bold

Goldfish, Goldfish
Is now free!

This may be the story of a little goat in less than a decade...

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
On a hillside so barren, where the wild winds blow,
There's a lonely little goat, with nowhere to go.
Its once lush green meadow, now a barren land,
No more grass to graze, no more food at hand.

(Chorus)
Oh, the goat with empty pastures, its hunger it bemoans,
Searching for a patch of green, where life's essence is sown.
But in its weary heart, a flicker of hope remains,
For a greener tomorrow, where abundance reclaims,
For a little goat…

(Verse 2)
With each weary step, the goat trudges on,
Searching for a morsel, where the light of hope has shone.
Its hooves grow tired, its spirit worn and weak,
But deep inside, a determination it seeks.

(Chorus)
Oh, the goat with empty pastures, its hunger it bemoans,
Searching for a patch of green, where life's essence is sown.
But in its weary heart, a flicker of hope remains,
For a greener tomorrow, where abundance reclaims,
For a little goat…

(Bridge)
In the darkness of night, it gazes at the stars,
Whispering to the heavens, its hunger, its scars.
A plea for a miracle, a sign to guide its way,
To find a fertile haven, where it can graze and sway.

(Verse 3)
And in the morning light, a miracle unfolds,
A distant meadow, a sight to behold.
With grass so lush, a feast for its soul,
The goat finds solace, once again whole.

(Chorus)
Oh, the goat with empty pastures, its hunger it bemoans,
Searching for a patch of green, where life's essence is sown.
But in its weary heart, a flicker of hope remains,
For a greener tomorrow, where abundance reclaims,
For a little goat…

(Outro)
So let us remember, the goat's resilient plight,
To cherish what we have, for it may fade overnight.
With melodies that echo, the goat's longing and grace,
We honor its journey, in this vast earthly space.

The little goat (without grass to graze)

Lyrics:
In Costa Rica, under the golden sun's ray
A happy metal monkey brings joy every day
With its electric guitar, that he strums with might
Spreading metal riffs, and igniting all the night
Through the dense jungle, he plays, sings and roams all free
Above the trees, he's unleashing all his decree

Oh, happy metal monkey shredding the strings
Bringing head-banging joy, energy it brings
With thunderous solos, his music takes wings
Monkey metal maestro, making the crowd sing

With every big riff and power chord that he plays
Metal melodies, electrifying the days
He has a head-banger's heart and a metal soul
This monkey's passion is rock, that he can't control

Oh, happy metal monkey shredding the strings
Bringing head-banging joy, energy it brings
With thunderous solos, his music takes wings
Monkey metal maestro, making the crowd sing

His fingers fly across the frets and neck with ease
Creating symphonies of pure full metal please

Oh, happy metal monkey shredding the strings
Bringing head-banging joy, energy it brings
With thunderous solos, his music takes wings
Monkey metal maestro, making the crowd sing

Oh in the land down under where the wild winds blow
A tale of rock and of vibes, just let it go

The outback calls with a mystical groove,
Where the legends are born and all dreams come true

Let this kangaroo listen to the sound of the didgeridoo
From Uluru red desert sands that join the sky which is so blue

All the strings start to strum, the guitar ignite,
Didgeridoo hums, setting our souls alight
All the sound of ancient lands fills the air,
With every note, we're carried so far and near.
In the heart of this song, a fusion unfolds,
Oh, where rock meets custom, the story is told

Let this kangaroo leap and swing, yes, and the didgeridoo sing,
A celebration of mother Earth, and all the joy it can bring.

[Solo]

Let this kangaroo listen to the sound of the didgeridoo
From Uluru red desert sands that join the sky which is so blue

The final chord rings and the echoes fade 
The spirit of Australia forever remains
Remains
Remains
Remains

Under the midnight oil
Let this kangaroo listen to the didgeridoo

Shake your hips, clap you hands

Shake your hips, clap you hands

Always short and sweet
This funky delight
Keep the funk alive,
For all day and night

Lyrics:
Pollution in the air deadly haze
Corruption and profit planet pays
Fossil fuels burn into toxic blaze
Time to wake up, change our ways

For Mother Earth all my might
My guitar and just a fighting song
For nature I play it all day long
Eco-punk I take a stand
Join all the musicians

Ocean of plastic is a shame
Animal poachers are to blame
Amazon Deforestation shame
Pesticide Toxicity is to blame

Eco-Punk I am there for the fight
For Mother Earth all my might
My guitar and just a fighting song
For nature I play it all day long
Eco-punk I take a stand
Join all the musicians

Lyrics:
American Alligator, ancient and wild
Guardian of the swamp, so fierce and styled
American Alligator, with eyes that gleam
In you watery realm, a reigning dream

Armor-clad and stealthy stride
Dark waters, mysteries hide
Primal dance of life and death
Everglades rhythm and breath
The embodiment of might
In the darkness and daylight
Nature’s symbol fierce embrace
In the Everglades, hold your place

American Alligator, creature of the lore
In the deep of the water, prowl and explore
American Alligator, with every splash
In your dollars-less realm, untamed and brash

Armor-clad and stealthy stride
Dark waters, mysteries hide
Primal dance of life and death
Everglades rhythm and breath
The embodiment of might
In the darkness and daylight
Nature’s symbol fierce embrace
In the Everglades, hold your place

American Alligator
