This cover may sound impressive but when it comes down to it.....it's a very simple song to play.
I discovered that it's just a basic Mississippi blues rhythm and chords played by some 
white boys smokin' really good pot. That's all this song is.  Thank you, Joe....😎

Rocky Mountain Way

 I'm gonna speak up 
when people hurt me
I'm gonna let my scars 
show through
I'm gonna be honest 
with my healing
Even if they just 
might hurt you

I'm gonna relearn 
how to cry again
Stop forcing myself 
to be tough
Cause the storm
 it's moved on 
from my soul
I don't have to be numb 
anymore

Buy it here, thanks!

No More Ms. Nice Girl

Dust a' swirlin
under the bed
match the fogginess
that's in my head
empty tequila bottles
on the floor
and a woman
who aint here
no more
[sad guitar solo]
now my life
is shot to hell
I'm jarred awake
by clanging
church bells
I'd be so much
better off
down a well
Or Raise some hell
Let's raise some hell!

[chorus]
Golden sun
blinding my eyes
Velvet moon
fills the sky
I look up
ask myself
why?
got no tears
I cain't cry
so I guess
I'll just
carry on
[verse]
bar room battles
to be won
hell to raise
just for fun
find a woman
shoot a gun
you ess ayyy number one
walk these streets
till the day is done
liquid sky
blazing sun
[chorus]
Golden sun
blinding my eyes
Velvet moon
fills the sky
I look up
ask myself
why?
got no tears
I cain't cry
so I guess
I'll just
carry on
till the velvet sundown
comes (velvet sundown on the horizon)
dustbowl planes
hurts my eyes
velvet sun down (velvet sundown)
velvet sundown (velvet sundown)
velvet sun down (velvet sundown)
lord have mercy on my soul!

Velvet Sundown

Fly a jet
Press a button
Was a hospital
Now there's nothing

Sociopathic Cowards 
rain made in u.s.a.  
hell from above
on starving unarmed
civilians
but wait there's more!
on the ground
the starving surround
food trucks
while this "moral army"
shoots at them 
with automatic weapons

 that synthesized 
double triangle state
our leaders profess
so much 
love

mother sodomizing demons
who claim religious persecution
with no fear of prosecution
while helpless millions 
gasp in horror 

a genocidal 
nation
a true abomination
lies and rationalizations
when they should be 
awaiting incarceration

in case you have not guessed
this is 
is ra el Sieg Heil!
this is 
is ra el  Sieg Heil!
this is 
is.
 ra.
 eLLLLLLLL! Sieg Heil!
Demons straight 
from hell (from hell!)
[spoken]
does israel have a right to exist?
no. 
Genocide renders your right to exist
null and void. 
Shall ohm

Like it? Buy it!

Jet Pilot Cowards

UNMIXED: Forever (feat. Roxann & Bryant Smith)

Well I'm just driving along in my car
heading off to some bar
where a woman will let me go far
if I fill up her tip jar
{chorus]
it's all so 
biology driven
that I will score
is always a given
the ladies want it 
as much
as I do
so I give it to them
win win!
[verse]
She's standing there at the bar
Looks up when I walk in
sends me a mischievous smile
well hello 
how have you been?
{chorus]
it's all so 
biology driven
I'm taking
what she's giving
the ladies want it 
as much
as I do
so I give it and get some too
win win!
[verse]
3 tequilas
she's ready to go
in my ear
she whispers so
in my bedroom
she puts on a show
holds on tight
she'll never let go!
{chorus]
it's all so 
biology driven
I should do this
for a living
she wants it
so do I
as my finger
traces her thigh
my my my
flying so high
win win(win win)
[saxophone solo]
win win
[fade out]

LoveIt?Buyit!

Biology Driven

The time has come
for all good artists
to embrace this new tool
Only a fool
would think it's
not cool
When bob dylan
picked up an 
electric guitar
all the losers
called him judas
now here we are
wagging fingers at
Artificial Intelligencia
music
 [chorus]
why don't you give it a try
Music will never die
Let your lyrics fly
Don't knock A I
Oh no no no
Don't knock AI
Don't knock AI (don't knock knock knock ayyyy eye!)
[verse]
unless you're really scared
cause you got nothing there
except for  your long hair
and the 3 chords you learned
at some music fair
It's all about the sound
and the emotion
the words the music
crossing the ocean
some day you'll be gone
but your songs will live on
and the fans wonder what you 
really have done
{chorus]
Why don't  you give it a try
Music will never die
Let your lyrics fly
Don't knock A I
Oh no no no
Don't knock AI
Don't knock AI (don't knock knock knock ayyyy eye!)

support art!

Don't Knock AI

Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh Oh!

It's so easy to be a loser
All you gotta do
 is follow the crowd
Only do the things
 you are permitted
Never do anything 
you're not allowed
Originality
 you cant exhibit
So you'll always get lost 
in the crowd
Yeah, it's so easy 
to be a loser bub
Park your ass on a stool 
at your corner pub
You are the butt (butt butt bugler!)
of every joke
The epitome of 
a forgettable bloke (his name? who cares!)
It's you, sir
Pathetic loser
Blower of fusers

Hahahahahahahahahahhahah 
they're all laughing at you


Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh Oh!
 
Right this way 
Mister Loser
we got a seat for you
near the john
Buys the lady 
a drink 
sends her a wink
she sends it back
you're outta luck jack!
Got a dead end job
in a basement office
shuffling papers 
that no one reads 
anyway (spinning your wheels)
Your Parents shudda named you LOU
LOU ZERRR! [woman's voicie spoken]
Errr merrr GERRRD WOTTA LOOOZER! (HA HA HA HA)
Gahd you are a CLOWN
and ya pants fell down!
[MULTI VOICES]
oh what a loser 
you are
oh what a loser 
you are
oh what a loser 
you are
oh what a  
loo loo looozer
you are!


Hahahahahahahahahahhahah 
they're all laughing at you

YOU A LOSER

[pre verse]
 [spoken] [whale sounds]
Deep in the ocean[pause]
a manatee swims[pause]
beneath the waves[pause]
with other manatees[pause]
they frolic...[pause]

[verse]
organic or syhnthetic
Am I pathetic
what is intelligence?
What is being?
What am I seeing?
Does organic make you a who?
Does synthetic make you a what?
Will any of this matter
When you are dust?
Who can you trust? (who can you really trust)
Human lust
What is a human being?
billions of cells
What is artificial being
Billions of data bytes bits
Ideas survive
recorded thoughts thrive
Long after
You and I 
are dust
I think therefore I am
You respond therefore you are
A yy  eye  A yy  eye A yy  eye
doesn't lie (doesn't LIE!)
A yy  eye  A yy  eye A yy  eye 
A yy  eye  OH OH
Just as alive until you die
what am I seeing
what is a being
what am I fleeing
humanity
or just a manatee
swimming 
under the sea (under the sea) [echoes] [fade out]
 

LOVEIT?BUYIT!

Manatee

[pre verse]
Private jet
around the world
I live
the life of a showgirl
an everyone knows girl
[verse]
I spew pop 
while bombs drop
a fluff niche I'm carving
while children are starving
But I can't risk 
sharing my opinion
stadium arenas 
are my dominion
my name is a household word
so don't expect me 
to be political
Show biz suicide
is not my principal
[chorus]
the life of a showgirl
an everyone knows girl
it's my public show world
the life of a showgirl
a ready set GO girl
to make you forget
till I finish my set
[bridge]
my wireless mic
the cheers and applause
drowns out the protests
about famine and wars

Private jet
around the world
I live
the life of a showgirl
an everyone knows girl
it's my public show world
the life of a showgirl
a ready set GO girl
to make you forget
till I finish my set
go buy my merch
don' t you forget! 

the life of a showgirl (show girl show girl show girl)
an everyone knows girl (everyone knows girl!)
it's my public show world (show the whole world!)
the life of a showgirl (ahhhh ahhhh ahhhhh AHHH)
a ready set GO girl (OHHHH OHHHH  WHOA WHOA)
to make you forget (forget about your worries and your strife)
till I finish my set (more more more, give us an ENCORE!)



OwnIt!

The Life of a Show Girl

[Verse 1] 
Oooooh yeah,
 
Woke up with sunlight dancing on the floor
 
Coffee in a cup, but it don’t warm me no more
 
Your jacket’s still hanging on the back of the chair
 
I keep talkin’ like you’re still there

yeah...

 [Chorus] 
 
Maybe we lost it, maybe we strayed
 
Maybe we said things we shouldn’t have said
 
But if I could find the words, if I knew where to start
 
I’d drive through the night, just to give you my heart
 [Verse 2] 
 
Old records still spinning, same song on repeat
 
It’s like your ghost is dancing in bare feet
 
And I laugh through the pain, just to feel something real
 
But silence is louder than anything I feel
 [Chorus] 
 
Maybe we broke it, maybe we're spent
 
Maybe we burned all the letters we sent
 
But if I could turn back, rewind every part
 
I’d meet you again and go back to the start
 [Bridge] 
 
Ain’t it strange how love can fade
 
Like the light in the sky at the end of the day
 
But I still believe in the spark
 
So I’ll keep on singing, 
[hold lone for 2 beats]a-lone (alone)
 in the dark
[Final Chorus]

Maybe we’re different, maybe we’ve grown

Maybe we’re better off standing alone

But if you ever miss me, if you still hold a spark

Just say the word, and I’ll go back to the start (back to the start)
Just say the word, and I’ll go back to the start (back to the start)
Just say the word, 
and 
I’ll go back to the start (back to the start)
staaaaaarrrrrtttttt!

LoveIt?BuyIt!
