V1
Could this be a fool’s illusion we’re living in today			
Headed for a golden dawn, and we’re well on our way  		
We don’t mean to talk about the elephant in the room  		
But he’s waiting at the station, and the train is leaving soon	
PrCh1
	But no one seems to notice and may not even care		
	If we’re drowning in the fantasies of crazy billionaires	
CH
	Who will ask the questions					
	Who will speak the truth					
	Who will write the history					
	For our teachers and our youth     				
	Who will own it						
	Who will know if no one tells the truth			
	The painters and poets					
	And maybe me and you					
V2
Do you recall the days when we could read the printed news	
See honest faces on TV and know they spoke the truth
Now they lob their lies and hate ‘cross a great divide 
Why was there no funeral when journalism died
Repeat Chorus BR   	Will the people figure out and will they ever care		
That false and stale old narratives…...still fill the air 
Repeat Chorus
Outro:		Who will own it
	Who will know if no one tells the truth
	The painters and poets
	And maybe me and you
	The painters and poets
	And maybe me and you

Catholic Boy- (c) Lyrics & composed by Michelle Perron produced by Paul Cimolini

v1,
He's a legend famous legend, Catholic Man 
Going to Confession to start over again 
Dressing fine, and living with his western rules 
Stealing all he wants and lying to the girls

Now I have vertigo from my religious obsession
A going nowhere romance of a lonely love lesson
I need a miracle worker to give me back my faith
I’d call for Hitler, but he’s clearly not a saint, oh no no 
Chorus: 
I’m a rebel, little rebel Catholic Girl 
Smiling, crying, laughing in this great big world 
Tell me rebel, little rebel Catholic boy 
Can you reach me, can you teach me some sort of joy 
v2  
Cuz I’m wound so tight from trying hard to please
Following my instincts, and following my good deeds
I was ranting and raving caught up in the mood 
In a money cold war scream with nothing left to lose
 
Except some guy wearing a death wish necklace 
Slipped right thru my hands, 
I should have clearly guessed this 
Oh my my my, my Catholic Boy (x2)

Bridge: 
Oh my Catholic Boy come home to me 
Resurrection style, can ya star in my dream
My hands are tied and my mind is scarred
You are my brother and I take this to heart 

Well, there’s a legend, Roman legend, Living the dream 
Paving all the roads and paths to in between 
Bowing down, and Dialing up for dollars extreme 
Can you hear me, I’m not really digging your scene
I’m not digging it no no no
Not digging your scene
I'm not digging it, 
Not digging your scene

Catholic Boy

MAD DOG written by Michelle Perron (c)2022
Performed and Produced by Paul Cimolini 
I am obsessed  
I got that OCD 
 Like a pitbull with my jaws clenched in to you and me
 I try to shake you off, and go my own way 
But i get caught up in that madness of this dog gone game Prechorus: 
Should lick my wounds and let sleeping dogs lie           
But I’d rather bite your neck cuz I love your doggie style            Chorus:            
I’m a mad dog, bad dog           
 Come on throw me a bone            
I’m a mad dog, a bad dog           
And no matter what it takes,  
I know your gonna take me home 
v2  
Feeling rough, I’m so hot on your trail  
Its a rocky road, a mountain climb but I promise I won’t fail 
I try to take advice, and stop this crazy play
 Of Itching and a digging at the things that cause me pain    Prechorus: 
Should lick my wounds, and let sleeping dogs lie          
But I’d rather bite your neck cuz I love your doggie style             Chorus: 
I’m a mad dog, bad dog            
Why don't you throw me a bone            
I’m a mad dog, a bad dog           
And no matter what it takes,  
I know your gonna take me home                                                                                                                   Bridge: 
Feeling stuck in my old ways 
Falling into quicksand, going down into shame 
You’re a devil of a rebel, I lost my will to live 
Cuz without you I can’t control my fierceness

Mad Lover's Highway
v1
I got my eyes on a red hot mustang
Can’t tell if it's alive or rusting
I'm biting my lip to start this connection
I'll meet you in the middle to spark a reaction 
Just a few words before I'm on my way
You are what I want and what I’m cravin’ 
These emotions bring, easy come and easy go
So pull the trigger and show me the road
chorus
I ain't asking for a gun with a safety
I'm just looking for some love that can save me
From this long hard day, this neverending haze
Driving down this mad lover's highway
v2
 I'm in the wild west and I am calm
Looking at these cowboys and vagabonds
Hand Grenades and one night stands
They're at the bar drinking away their past

I'm no different, got my hope and a prayer
Driving down this road to god knows where
Anyone can find another sense of direction
I take my chances on your love and affection
chorus
I ain't asking for a gun with a safety
I'm just looking for some love that can save me
From this long hard day, this never-ending pain
Driving down this mad lover's highway 
I ain't asking for a gun with a safety
I'm just looking for some love that can save me
From this long hard day, this never-ending haze
Driving down this mad lover's highway(x3)

Mad Lover's Highway feat. Jenn Foss

7 trumpets-   © 2019 Michelle Perron 
V1:
 I watch your eyes dream big , they don’t see me  
Still my heart stops time to let you in
 I see your darkness coming alive, but I have no voice 
My weakness is innocence, your favourite high 
CHORUS:
  Let the seven trumpets sound
 I’m breaking chains, 
I’m knocking these walls down
 Let the seven trumpets reign 
I’m standing up for me, 
I am the change 
v2 
I let you share my dreams
 My secrets, the key to my smile 
 You took my words like weapons 
learned to turn them just like knifes 
A trust you took so lightly, and you tore it up in style 
I wear a coat of armour now, and I’m taking back my life
 CHORUS  
Bridge:
 I gave you my smile, I gave you my patience 
There’s nothing like time to wake this sedation 
I walked through the desert sand that was calling 
Fought for my peace of mind through my faults 
and  …. Its so hard to breathe this truth  
Chorus

Seven Trumpets

7 Trumpets featuring Jenn Foss

This is a very patriotic song in hopes of feelings of unity.
We could even lend these words to Donald Trump for his campaign, cuz I am sure he feels the same.

FREEDOM CALL feat. Sean Patrick McGraw

KEEP TRYING -By Michelle Perron July 2020 
v1 
I SAW A HORSE RUN TODAY 
HIS NAME WAS LIVING IN THE NOW 
I’M MINDFUL OF THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
  I CAN’T HELP BUT THINK OF MYSELF  
Prechorus 
I'M SLOWING DOWN  
I FEEL THE CHANGE 
THROW THAT ALL IN THE FIRE 
I’M PLAY'N WITH THE FLAME 
Chorus 
DO I KEEP TRYING? 
YEAH I’M PUSHING MYSELF 
YEAH I’ll KEEP TRYING 
TO STAY HAPPY,  
IT’S A HARD SELL 
YEAH, I’LL KEEP SMILING
A LITTLE MORE EVERY DAY 
N0, I WON’T SURRENDER
GIVE IN TO A WORLD OF PAIN
v2
I SAW AN OLD FRIEND TODAY 
WE TALKED FOR HOURS ONCE AGAIN 
SHE WON’T SPEAK OF THE HARDSHIP AHEAD 
I CAN’T DENY WORDS UNDER HER BREATHE  
PreChorus & CHORUS 
Bridge 
HOPE KEEPS SHINING IN MY WINDOW 
THE CLOUDS TRY TO CHASE IT AWAY  
HOPE KEEPS SMILING OUT AT THE FACES
AND THE RAIN COME’S BACK, JUST THE SAME  
WE ALL GOT OUR PROBLEMS 
AND WE ALL SAW OUR SHARE OF PAIN
I’M POSITIVELY THINKING NOW  I’M FEELING, 
THERE'S A STRENGTH 
THAT COMES WITH AGE , THAT COMES WITH GRACE
THAT COMES WITH FAITH
CHORUS
