Has been way too long since NayJ and I jumped in together.  This gorgeous original of NayJ's is entitled Blank Canvas, and I was fortunate to have been asked to work with her beautiful vocals, helping shape the harmonies.  But this is pure NayJ at her best - conveying a story of challenge and opportunity so passionately and sensitively.  Use the blank canvas that God gave you...

Lyric Translation

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Picked by young girls every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone?
Gone to young men every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone to soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long, long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Gone to flowers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn

Lyrics

Baby you’re lame
Maybe insane
How can you say
That without shame
Look at your hair
I just can’t square
How you might think that
We will forbear
Your obnoxious view of the world at your feet
That the obvious will remain unseen

Please shut your mouth
The stuff that comes out
Erases all doubt
Of what you’re about
So full of conceit
Tossing red meat
To the pools of fools
That form the effete
Tools of oppression 
You don’t know how to use
If you weren’t so incompetent
You’d be the new Il Duce 

Loose some weight
Can’t you see the light through the grate
Of the sewer where hold your fête 
Now gather your crap and go

Oh maybe someday
You’ll get back in my bed
Though I’d rather put a loaded gun to my head

I keep on swimming
In this ocean of dumb
It’s filled to the brim
This sure ain’t no fun
Is there no stopper?
I thought it was pulled?
You’ve turned on the spigot
And out poured a flood
Of the stupidest things
That I’ve ever seen
So blatantly dumb ass
It’s flat out obscene 

Oh baby
Loose some weight
Can’t you see the light through the grate
Of the sewer where hold your fête 
Now gather your crap and go

Dance in the street
Shout out in joy
Give you the finger
Come up with ploys
To stay direction
A hand in the wind
You can’t stop the future
There’s no chance to rescind
What’s happened baby
Been clearly defined 
By stomping your feet
As you wail and wine

Baby you’re lame
Maybe insane
How can you say
That without shame
Look at your hair
I just can’t square
How you might think that
We will forbear
Your obnoxious view of the world at your feet
That the obvious will remain unseen

Oh baby
Loose some weight
Can’t you see the light through the grate
Of the sewer where hold your fête 
Now gather your crap and go

Baby You're Lame
