Mr Officer

So Jah Seh Dub

I wish I was a king
Then maybe I could change some things
The laws of man
Laws of man
Wish I could change them with my hand
But I can't
But I can't

Ohh
(Ohh, ohh)
Ohh
(Ohh, ohh)
Ohh
(Ohh, ohh)
Ohh

I wish I was the sun
Then maybe I could burn someone
I'd burn a man
Burn a man
Burn a man
Wish I could change him with my hand
But I can't
But I can't
But I can't
But I can't
But I can't

Ohh
(Ohh, ohh)
Ohh
(Ohh, ohh)
Ohh
(Ohh, ohh)
Ohh

I wish I was a king
Then maybe I could change some things
The laws of man
Laws of man
Wish I could change them with my hand
But I can't
But I can't
But I can't
But I can't
But I can't
But I can't
But I can't
But I can't

Ohh
(Ohh, ohh)
Ohh

Side A x9 = Gypsy HopFi Fusion BURLESQUE Edition
Side B x10 = Psychedelic Americana BLUES Edition

I was listening to my "S.S. is for Sacred Sp3rm" EP when I saw yet another one of those daily terrifying #breakingnews social media posts, listing #books recently #banned from the (remaining) U.S. Public Schools and Libraries #circa2025 
1. The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
2. Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley
3. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
4. 1984 by George Orwell
5. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
6. The perks of being a wallflower, by Stephen Chbovsky
7. The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison 
8. Sold by Patricia McCormick
9. Maus by Art Spiegelman
10. An African and Latinx History of the United States by Paul Ortiz

So then, I had to write a "B.B. is for BANNED BOOKS" song, to honor my favorite authors on this list, because WOW... HOW freaking SCARY of an #americanhorror #truestory IS THAT?!

@bananasutra lyrics:

[Intro]
They banned the truth for being rude…
But baby, rude is how we bloom.
So light me up, librarian lover…
and read me harder.
B.B. is for Banned Books,
and Badass Brains.

[Verse 1 – Harper Lee & Art Spiegelman]
Harper told me, “Mock me, kill me,” still I sing,
Truth’s a mockingbird with wings.
Art drew the pain, a mouse in flame,
He said, “Remember, never tame.”
You can ban my ink, but not my roar,
I’ll scratch your walls, and write some more.

[Chorus]
They banned the books but not the beat,
Banned the thought but not the heat,
Banned the love but not the street.
So read me, baby, read me sweet!
If thinking’s sin, I’ll take the blame,
Desire and truth are one and same.

[Verse 2 – Aldous Huxley & Margaret Atwood]
Aldous whispered, “Take your soma, stay asleep,”
But sugar, freedom don’t come cheap.
Atwood smirked, “Blessed be the fruit,”
Then laced her boots and staged a coup.
Pop your soma, hush your fear,
But holy lust still lights us clear.

[Bridge – George Orwell & Ray Bradbury]
Big Brother’s watching, Ray lit the spark,
Said, “Burn the dark, not those who mark.”
Orwell winked through smoke and steam,
“Truth’s a thoughtcrime, love’s the dream.”
You can’t delete what won’t forget,
We’re the match they can’t reset.

[Final Chorus]
They banned the books but not the beat,
Banned the thought but not the heat,
Banned the love but not the street.
So read me, baby, read me sweet!
Truth’s taboo, but damn, it’s neat,
Come turn the page with me.

[Outro]
For Harper Lee, Art Spiegelman, Aldous Huxley, Margaret Atwood,
George Orwell, and Ray Bradbury,
for every mind they tried to muzzle.
We see you.
We feel you.
And we’ll keep reading you harder. 


Side B [04] READ ME HARDER (BB for Banned Books) - SHOWsutra Psychedelic Destiny Banjo BLUES

“Mehr Mut!” is a cheeky wake-up call for a world stuck in autopilot. Between small talk, tired routines, and a constant stream of empty noise, it’s a reminder to get real again — to stand up, question things, and rediscover that lost spark of courage. With wit and wordplay, the song dives into the messy middle ground between confusion and clarity, frustration and self-irony — and ends up where all good revolutions start: with a bit more courage.

„Mehr Mut!“ ist ein freches Wecksignal für eine Welt im Dauerlauf. Zwischen Smalltalk, Routine und der endlosen Flut leerer Worte erinnert der Song daran, wieder echt zu werden – aufzustehen, Dinge zu hinterfragen und den verloren geglaubten Mut zurückzuholen. Mit Witz und Selbstironie taucht der Text in das Chaos zwischen Verwirrung und Klarheit, Frust und Aufbruch ein – und landet dort, wo jede Veränderung beginnt: bei ein bisschen mehr Mut.

Mehr Mut!

Gleich kommt sie wieder
Die Standard-Frage
Oh Mann
Schenk mir spannendere Tage

„Hey, wie geht´s dir? Alles ok?“
Alles super, sag ich
Wunderbar
Hoffe, das gilt auch für dich
Na prima – 1A

Und ich denk…
Wie´s mir wirklich geht?
Willst du nicht wissen
Irgendwo zwischen
Ziemlich verwirrt und
Echt beschissen

Okay, lass mich mal kurz überlegen…

Verloren, verbeult, verschwommen
Entgleist, leer, nicht ernst genommen
Überdreht, weichgespült, zerrissen
Wie schon gesagt
Echt beschissen
Abgehängt, belogen, leer
Müde, wacklig, schwer
Unsere Welt kippt…
Und ich? Überdreht und platt
Wahrscheinlich nicht nur ich…
Schachmatt
Im falschen Film, das trifft es ganz gut
Verdammt!
Wo ist er geblieben, unser Mut?

Und so rasen wir immer weiter
Auf den Abgrund zu
Fragen seltsame Sachen
Aber nie
„Was können wir selber machen?“
Aufstehn, Alter!
Los geht‘s und zwar noch heute
Such dir einfach noch‘n paar Millionen andere Leute
Und dann Schluss mit…

Verloren, verbeult, verschwommen
Entgleist, leer, nicht ernst genommen
Überdreht, weichgespült, zerrissen
Wie gesagt
Ziemlich beschissen
Abgehängt, belogen und leer
Müde, wacklig und schwer
Meine Welt kippt
Und ich? Sowas von platt
Und zwar nicht nur ich… schachmatt
Im falschen Film, das trifft es ganz gut
Verdammt! Ich sag nur:
Mehr Mut!


Mehr Mut!
