Thank you for listening to my version of 'WOKE'.  Rock on Songsters!  xo

WOKE
Woke up one day in a world of WOKE
I had to go and look it up
Ain’t it funny how the devil turns things around
For the sake of the buttercups

WOKE, WOKE
Goin’ for broke
WOKE, WOKE
Goin’ for broke

Now, the King of Beers has become the queen
And I find it kind ‘a queer
All those profits down the drain overnight
A permanent smear

WOKE, WOKE
Goin’ for broke
WOKE, WOKE
Goin’ for broke

And if you ain’t green, you ain’t WOKE
And ya’d better love digital
And the robots ain’t comin’, the robots are here
Soon humans will disappear! 

WOKE, WOKE
Goin’ for broke
WOKE, WOKE
Goin’ for broke

Take it away, Zoner

WOKE, WOKE
Goin’ for broke
WOKE, WOKE
Goin’ for broke

The tribe has spoken, better stand down
The prostitutes obey
Soon there could be no more Woka-Cola
What more can you say?

WOKE, WOKE
Goin’ for broke
WOKE, WOKE
Goin’ for broke

WOKE, WOKE
Goin’ for broke
WOKE, WOKE
Goin’ for broke

Thank you for listening to my NOBODY LIKES ME.  In this political climate of "New" World Order, I'm certain you can relate, xo

NOBODY LIKES ME
Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me and it hurts!

They don’t like my hat
They don’t like my hair
The color of my eyes
The clothes I wear
Don’t like my politics
My religion
Not by a longshot 
Not by a smidgen

Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me and it hurts!

Oo-ooo, OUCH!  Oo-ooo, OUCH! 

And it’s three thumbs down
Zero thumbs up
The loser I am
It’s just too much
They don’t like my songs
My poetry
Not by a longshot
Do they love me

Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me and it hurts!

Oo-ooo, OUCH!  Oo-ooo, OUCH! 

You don’t like my car
Don’t like my street
The color of my door
My satin sheets
Get out ‘a my bed!
Out ‘a my house!
Why ya gotta be
Such a big louse?!

Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me way it’s gotta be! 

Is it too much to ask
To get my bourbon in a glass?
Plastic Bartender
Plastic as the plastic cup I sent back
Bartender, what is it?
You don’t like my hat?
What is it about me
To be exact:

Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me and it hurts!

Oo-ooo, OUCH!  Oo-ooo, OUCH! 

Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me and it hurts!
Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me and it hurts!
Oh, how it hurts
No just deserts
Nobody likes me and it hurts!

NOBODY LIKES ME

Thank you for listening to my version of a popular phrase coined by Shakespeare (or at least that's the best I can tell), Rock on, Songsters! xo

ALL THAT GLITTERS ISN’T GOLD
One thing for sure that I know
This world is littered with lies
False angels everywhere you go
Should come as no surprise

Santa Claus lies
Easter Bunny lies
And your teachers lie, too
And your preacher lies
And the President lies
Nobody knows who is who
Who are you?
Who are you?

CHORUS
Beware the lies you’ve been sold
Take care of the truths you hold
There’s no reason for you to fold
All that glitters isn’t gold
All that glitters isn’t gold

Those shiny things lie
Cut you down to size
Always wanting something new
Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Acting more like Saul
Killing all that’s good around you
Killing all that’s good around you

Beware the lies you’ve been sold
Take care of the truths you hold
There’s no reason for you to fold
All that glitters isn’t gold
All that glitters isn’t gold

And the dealers lie
Diamonds
Get ‘em a dime a dozen
Rather have an opal
Tho’ breakable
Cost a fortune your average opal doesn’t
And diamonds are not a girl’s best friend, no-no

Beware the lies you’ve been sold
Take care of the truths you hold
There’s no reason for you to fold
All that glitters isn’t gold
All that glitters isn’t gold
All that glitters isn’t gold

One thing for sure that I know
This world is littered with lies
False angels everywhere you go
Should come as no surprise, no surprise.

ALL THAT GLITTERS ISN’T GOLD

Thank you for listening to my take on Netflix's True Crime Documentary, "TILL MURDER DO US PART". Songs are EVERYWHERE! Rock on, xo.

TILL MURDER DO US PART
Obsessed with each other
He was jealous of anything other in her life
That’s the answer she gave to the prosecutor 
When he asked her why her parents had to die

In a little town in the middle of nowhere
Bedford County, Virginia, April the third, 1985
Oo-ooo
A call came into the news station
A gruesome double-murder had taken place; a horrific crime
Oo-ooo

CHORUS
She said it was him who done it
And he said it was her
Elizabeth and Jens attached at the heart
It was a case of till murder do us part
Till murder do us part

They met in college, love at first sight
She was the heiress of an Astor, he was a nerd from Germany
Oo-ooo
An unkindly match in the eyes of her aristocratic mother
And the rest is history
Oo-ooo

She said it was him who done it
And he said it was her
Elizabeth and Jens attached at the heart
It was a case of till murder do us part
Till murder do us part

BRIDGE
Thirty some years later, they’re both released from prison
Noone will ever know the truth except for her and him

She said it was him who done it
And he said it was her
Elizabeth and Jens attached at the heart
It was a case of till murder do us part
Till murder do us part

Oo-ooo, Oo-ooo

She said it was him who done it
And he said it was her
Elizabeth and Jens attached at the heart
It was a case of till murder do us part
Till murder do us part

Obsessed with each other
He was jealous of anything other in her life
That’s the answer she gave to the prosecutor 
When he asked her why her parents had to die
Why her parents had to die..

TILL MURDER DO US PART

Thank you for listening to broken me.  I'm sure you can relate..xo

I CAN’T HELP MYSELF
As I help myself to another slice of cherry pie
I can’t help myself
Dreaming of you touching me, letting out a sigh
I can’t help myself

CHORUS
I don’t need nobody’s help
I can’t help myself
I don’t need nobody’s help
I can’t help myself

Now, I’ve gone and slipped in the shower, thrown out my back
And I can’t help myself
Learning to use a cane is harder than it seems in fact
I can’t, I can’t help myself, Oo-ooo

I don’t need nobody’s help
I can’t help myself
I don’t need nobody’s help
I can’t help myself

Without God we can do nothing says the True Vine
And I can’t help myself
I begin to believe without love I’m left behind
I can’t, I can’t help myself, Oo-ooo

I don’t need nobody’s help
I can’t help myself
I don’t need nobody’s help
I can’t help myself

As I help myself to writing another sad song
I can’t help myself
This time around I’m the one who’s done-me-wrong
I can’t, I can’t help myself, Oo-ooo
I can’t help myself, Oo-ooo
I can’t, I can’t help myself… Oo-ooo

I Can’t Help Myself

Thank you for listening to my version of anti-God America. Write On, Soldiers!  R, xo.

THE AMERICAN WAY IS NOT GOD’S WAY
They yak about freedom and liberty
They yak about democracy
They coin the phrase, “In God We Trust”
But they don’t care about us

At the end of the devil’s day
The American way is not God’s way

The Ten Commands, they cut them down
Righteous statues, they bash to the ground
They pride the phrase, “In God We Trust”
But their actions are a bust

At the end of the devil’s day
The American way is not God’s way
Not God’s way

Promoting porn and the usury
And every other lascivious profanity
They push the phrase, “In God We Trust”
But my God’s not a god of lust

At the end of the devil’s day
The American way is not God’s way
Not God’s way

The devil’s airwaves make your head pound
Your heart, the devil stomps on the ground
They prize the phrase, “In God We Trust”
As your dreams turn to dust

BRIDGE
The little ‘g’ government god
The big ‘G’ she’ll never be
She can’t resurrect the dead back to life
She can’t save you and me

At the end of the devil’s day
The American way is not God’s way
Not God’s way
Not God’s way
Not God’s way

They yak about freedom and liberty
They yak about democracy
They coin the phrase, “In God We Trust”
But they don’t care about us
Michael Jackson was absolutely right: “They Don’t Care About Us”
They don’t care about us
They don’t care about us.

He wasn’t eating breakfast in his usual spot
The Windows of the World Restaurant

He later declared the day of 9-eleven
That his dedicated wife, she
Reminded him of a dermatologist appointment
And that’s where that scoundrel be
He told his son an’ daughter not to meet him at their usual spot
The Windows of the World Restaurant

Thank you for listening to my version of a popular title. God bless you and keep you, Rock on! 

DYING ON THE VINE
I’m too old to be young
I’m too young to be old
But when the day is done
I refuse to fold

CHORUS
This world has left me behind
But the sun still shines on my face
Wisdom is a beauty to embrace
And I won’t be dying on the vine
No, I won’t be dying on the vine

As long as the sun shines
As long as the breeze blows
As long as the rain falls
I’ll come up a rose

This world has left me behind
But the sun still shines on my face
Wisdom is a beauty to embrace
And I won’t be dying on the vine
No, I won’t be dying on the vine

Music

A tidy garden
And a brilliant library
And my elected God
Will resurrect me

This world has left me behind
But the sun still shines on my face
Wisdom is a beauty to embrace
And I won’t be dying on the vine
No, I won’t be dying on the vine

This world has left me behind
But the sun still shines on my face
Wisdom is a beauty to embrace
And I won’t be dying on the vine
No, I won’t be dying on the vine.

DYING ON THE VINE

Thanks so much for listening, keep 'em coming 'cuz what else is there?  xo

THE HAPPY SONG
I would write a happy song, a happy song if I could
If I could write a happy song you know I surely would
I would choose three cheerful chords as these; G C and D
A real toe-tapper-sing-along-clap-your-hands-jamboree

Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do

I would write a happy song, a happy song if I could
If I could write a happy song, it would do a world ‘a good
‘Cuz the world could use some major cheerin’ up these dark days
There’s no better time than these to be changin’ my ways

Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do

Music

I would write a happy song, a happy song if I could
If I could write a happy song, you know I surely would
I would make a recording, put it up on Sound Cloud
And the next time I’m down an’ out crank it up real loud

Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do

Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do

Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do

THE HAPPY SONG

This song was inspired by Netflix's 13 Reasons Why.  Don't do anything stupid.  Hang in there no matter what.  You're worth it, xo

GHOST
You think of her
And you disappear
Then suddenly
You reappear from the blue
But there’s nothing left
Of you for me
There’s nothing left
But tears and misery

CHORUS
You say you love me
But she’s high above me
My heart is toast
How do I compete with a ghost?

I think it’s best
If you just go
I’ll never be her
I’m nobody that you know
‘Cuz when we kiss
It’s not my lips you crave
When we part
It’s not my heart you embrace

You say you love me
But she’s high above me
My heart is toast
How do I compete with a ghost?

BRIDGE
She cut herself
Where were you?
She cut herself
Now it’s all you can do..

You say you love me
But she’s high above me
My heart is toast
How do I compete with a ghost?

Ooh-ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh-ooh

You think of her
And you disappear
Then suddenly
You reappear from the blue..

GHOST

Thank you for listening, enjoy God above's freebies!  Love ya! 

THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE
Woo-hoo, woo hoo! 
A boisterous chirruping overhead
Starlings taken over my tree
My heart pumping standin’ by
A dazzling dance in the sky to see!

Wind-chimes clangin’ ‘fore a storm
Stirs up the rock an’ roll in me
Pick out a key most favorable
Any key from A to G

CHORUS
The best things in life are free
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo!
The best things in life are free
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo! 

Catchin’ up with a friend after work
Two caffé lattes on a gift-card
A sunny table; a fetchin’ view
Children rompin’ in the courtyard

Rain pitter-patterin’ on the roof
A lazy Saturday mornin’
Rollin’ over in bed for a kiss
The dog peacefully snorin’

The best things in life are free
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo!
The best things in life are free
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo!

Woo-hoo, woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo!

Vacation our fav’rite beach-spot
Holdin’ hands, twinkle in your eye
Slippin’ sea-glass in my pocket
Whale of a sand-castle, my-o-my! 

Sweet miracles are everywhere
Can’t tell me God above ain’t real
The solid ground I’m standin’ on
Indisputably seals the deal!

The best things in life are free
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo!
The best things in life are free
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo!

The best things in life are free
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo!
The best things in life are free
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo!

LIVIN’ TO DO
Monday drivin’ home from work
Wore to a frazzle through an’ through
All I wanna do is get on home
Have a coffee and a toke or two

Jot a few rhymes, grab my guitar
Been itchin’ to play all day
‘Cuz I got three-chords-and-the-truth
And I got somethin’ to say

CHORUS
‘Cuz the day ain’t done yet
And I got livin’ to do
Time for breakin’ a sweat
‘Cuz I got livin’ to do
Livin’ to do
Ooooh
Livin’ to do

Take a seat out on the back deck
Marvel at the birds for a few
Just because you skedaddled 
Doesn’t mean I can’t get off on the view

And the day ain’t done yet
And I got livin’ to do
Time for breakin’ a sweat
‘Cuz I got livin’ to do
Livin’ to do
Ooooh
Livin’ to do

Sun sinkin’ fast, draw the blinds
Crank up oldies-radio
Dancin’ half-nude in my livin’ room
Plenty ‘a get-up-an’-go, whoa

‘Cuz the day ain’t done yet
And I got livin’ to do
Time for breakin’ a sweat
‘Cuz I got livin’ to do
Livin’ to do
Ooooh
Livin’ to do
Ooooh
Livin’ to do

Oo-ooo-oo, Oo-ooo-oo

Now, clock’s headin’ up on midnight
How I hate to see the day go
Weekend’ll be here soon enough
Got a birthday party to throw

And the day ain’t done yet
And YOU got livin’ to do
Time for breakin’ a sweat
‘Cuz WE got livin’ to do
Livin’ to do
Ooooh
Livin’ to do
Ooooh
Livin’ to do
Ooooh
Livin’ to do
Livin’ to do..

LIVIN’ TO DO

Well, what can I say?  I tried playin' along one of my own songs for the first time with a backing track on youtoob.  A bit on the long side but a lot 'a fun!  Thanks for puttin' up with me, love ya much! Backing Track by Reinhold Tracks ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_9EoEWHxH8

SAME SONG DIFFERENT DAY
Got a beater and a full tank ‘a gasoline
But that don’t mean I’m goin’ nowhere 
‘Cuz all I do is hammer away these days
Keepin’ a roof has become my career
The rain clouds never go away
It’s the same song different day

And if it ain’t my back 'a killin’ me
It’s my hands, my knees and my neck
Even if I wanted to go out on a date
I’d be nothing but a hot-trainwreck
Seems no matter how hard I pray
It’s the same song different day

It’s the same song different day
Since I threw your heart away
Huggin’ my pillow, holdin’ on tight
Rockin’ myself to sleep at night
Birds don’t sing, dinner bell don’t ring
It’s the same song different day

Home from work put on a pot ‘a coffee
Don’t dare to hit that easy-chair
‘Cuz if I do, I’ll be out fast as lightenin’
Dog’s waitin’ all day; wouldn’t be fair
Seems we’re wastin’ our lives away
It’s the same song different day

I’d be lyin’ if I said I didn’t miss you
All those sunny weekends at the ocean
And there ain’t no ocean in Tennessee
All that’s here’s goin’ through the motions
The rain clouds never go away
It’s the same song different day

It’s the same song different day
Since I threw your heart away
Huggin’ my pillow, holdin’ on tight
Rockin’ myself to sleep at night
Birds don’t sing, dinner bell don’t ring
It’s the same song different day

Ain’t got no claim to Nashville fame
I’m nobody in the who-you-know nest
All I know is cookie-cutters never change
Number one ain’t always the best
Long as I got this ol' guitar to play
It’s the same song different day

It’s the same song different day
Since I threw your heart away
Huggin’ my pillow, holdin’ on tight
Rockin’ myself to sleep at night
Birds don’t sing, dinner bell don’t ring
It’s the same song different day.

SAME SONG DIFFERENT DAY

Thank you so much for listening.  Could be much better vocally, but I'm no singer.  My only hope is that you can hear my heart.  Used the following backing track on this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwcCBGqPmwU

CUT AN’ RUN
Dogie in a cage
Tremblin’ with rage
Coming of age is all you dream about
‘Cuz it’s do as you’re told
Or be cast in the cold
No stranglehold could ever keep you down

CHORUS
And you run so hard
And you run so far
You can’t stop running to this day
Once in awhile
You’re captured by a smile
Until you cut an’ run, yeaeeyay

Can’t stop the rain
Can’t jump the train
No breakin’ the chains that bind you up inside
‘Cuz deep in your bones
A sad moon moans
Old sticks and stones left you with an ax to grind

And you run so hard
And you run so far
You can’t stop running to this day
Once in awhile
You’re captured by a smile
Until you cut an’ run, yeaeeyay, yeaeeyay, yeaeeyay, yeaeeyay, yeaeeyay

Can’t look it in the eye
The truth you defy
It’s easier to fly in your own lane
The price is steep
The secrets you keep
Takes more than one sweep; a dragon to be slain

And you run so hard and you run so far
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh

You run so hard
And you run so far
You can’t stop running to this day
Once in awhile
You’re captured by a smile
Until you cut an’ run, yeaeeyay

Once in awhile
You’re captured by a smile
Until you cut an’ run, yeaeeyay..

GOT NO HOME
Got no home
Got no home
Got no home to go to
Without you-ooh, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh

I’m the one who left
I’m the one to blame
Never meant to break you
Never was the same
A dog without a bone
A cat without a tail
No honey in my comb
No wind in my sail

Got no home
Got no home
Got no home to go to
Without you-ooh, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh

I was the black-sheep
I was the run-away
You took all the blows
Scars oozin’ to this day
You know I hate flying, Brother
But I would fly to you
All that’s left is dying
‘Cuz that’s what people do

Got no home
Got no home
Got no home to go to
Without you-ooh, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh

BRIDGE
People don’t change
World remains the same
Born an outcast
No breakin’ the chains
No breakin’ the chains
No breakin’ the chains

Got no home
Got no home
Got no home to go to
Without you-ooh, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh

DON'T LET 'EM TAKE YOU
Everybody wants my money
Everybody wants my time
If I had a honey
I’m sure they’d be standin’ in line

CHORUS 1
And they take you for granted
And they take you for a fool
And they take you for a ride
And you know that just ain’t cool

Everybody wants my number
But nobody rings me up
If the world went asunder
I’m sure I’d be out plum out a’ luck

And they take you for granted
And they take you for a fool
And they take you for a ride
And you know that just ain’t cool

Music

CHORUS 2
And they take you in circles
And they break your broken heart
And they take you to your grave
Devour your dreams a la carte

Music

You gotta keep your chin up
Don’t let the dogs bring you down
And the Devil when he calls
Let him chase his tail around

Don’t let ‘em take you for granted
Don’t let ‘em take you for a fool
Don’t let ‘em take you for a ride
‘Cuz you know that just ain’t cool

Everybody wants my money
Everybody wants my time
If I had a honey

Tears: Thanks so much for listening.  Stay Strong no matter what, xo

ALL I WANTED WAS YOU
I searched for you in a thousand places
I searched for you in a thousand faces
Someone who looked like me was all I wanted to see

I was havin’ trouble in school
I was havin’ trouble fitting in
I was that runaway with a downright chip on my shoulder
I was feelin’ unwanted
Feelin’ cheated and haunted 
I was that ugly ducklin’ just achin’ to be older

CHORUS
All I wanted
All I wanted
All I wanted was you
Mother all I wanted was you

By the time I got sober
Still dumb but a little older
Nothin’ could’ve prepared me for finding you under the ground
So, I bought you a gravestone
Swore ya’d never again be alone
Finding you that way Mother put me on a dreaded rebound

All I wanted
All I wanted
All I wanted was you
Mother all I wanted was you

I wanted to be acknowledged
Wanted to be recognized
Before closing my eyes at night wanted a bedtime story
I wanted to touch your face
Wanted to hold your hand
Wanted to dance with you ‘neath the stars like hunky-dory

All I wanted
All I needed
All I wanted was you
Mother all I wanted was you

Ooh-ooo-oo, Ooh-ooo-oo, Ooh-ooo-oo
Ooh-ooo-oo, Ooh-ooo-oo, see you Mother on the other side

All I wanted
All I wanted
All I wanted was you
All I wanted
All I needed
All I wanted was you
Mother, all I wanted was you
All I ever wanted was you.

ALL I WANTED WAS YOU

Thanks so much for listening.  Unfortunately, too many people can relate to the Divide and Conquer world we're living  :-(  Try as you may, you just can't patch things up with your dearest friends; very sad. It's truly a sad, sick world.  Soldier on, tears and cheers, xo

PS:  just learning Travis picking so it's a tad wobbly, sorry.

GONE
Just yesterday we were talkin’
On the telephone
Just yesterday we were laughin’
Come today you’re gone

I’ve tried reachin’ out to you
I’ve left messages
Apologized for stickin’ my nose
Where it didn’t belong, now you’re

CHORUS
Gone like the wind
Gone like a loon
The best I can hope for my friend
You’ll be back soon

Things haven’t been the same
Since Covid came around
Since you took that lethal bullet
You’ve been shot down

Now I don’t know if you’re dead
Or if you’re alive
All I know is my heartache
Has hit overdrive, and I’m 

Gone like the wind
Gone like a loon
The best I can hope for my friend
You’ll be back soon

Music

Now, we both have forgivin’
Forgivin’ to do
‘Cuz what the hell are we livin’ for
If love ain’t true?

Gone like the wind
Gone like a loon
The best I can hope for my friend
You’ll be back soon
The best I can hope for my friend
You’ll be back soon.

They call it a country but it’s no such thing
It’s a corporation ruled over by a king
And I’ll bet they didn’t teach you that in school
I’ll bet they didn’t teach you that in school

CHORUS
Just when you thought it was a free country
Just when you thought it was a free country
Just when you thought it was a free country
You’re just another colony of the Crown 

And while many a Christian swears by the KJV
King James was no grantor of freedom and liberty
And I’ll bet they didn’t teach you that in church
No, I’ll bet they didn’t teach you that in church

Just when you thought it was a free country
Just when you thought it was a free country
Just when you thought it was a free country
You’re just another colony of the Crown 

And the Federal Reserve isn’t a government entity
They print money from nothing, lend it out and charge usury
And I’ll bet they didn’t teach you that in school
I’ll bet they didn’t teach you that in school

Just when you thought it was a free country
Just when you thought it was a free country
Just when you thought it was a free country
You’re just another colony of the Crown

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh . . .

Just when you thought it was a free country
Just when you thought it was a free country
Just when you thought it was a free country
You’re just another colony
Just another colony
Just another colony of the Crown
A Rothschild Crown Colony.

CROWN COLONY

Fun song to sing if it wasn't so depressing.  Thanks for listening, xo

HERE WE GO AGAIN
Israel’s at war, Israel’s at war again
It’s the end of the world, the end of the world again

CHORUS
Here we go
Here we go again
Here we go
Here we go again

Heard it on the News another virus on the way
Mask-tards at the supermarket ruin my day
You dig the President I say he’s a dick
Losin’ you as a friend wasn’t hard to predict

Here we go
Here we go again
Here we go
Here we go again

Another school shooting, sinagogue’s on fire
You must give up your guns the situation’s dire
Be prepared to pay more for gas at the pumps
Be prepared for disaster in the coming months

Here we go
Here we go again
Here we go
Here we go again

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Little green men will soon invade the planet
We must all come together, dissent we must ban it
The earth is heating up you must pay a carbon tax
There’s no new thing and that’s a Biblical fact

Here we go
Here we go again
Here we go
Whoa!

This could be the last election; an earthquake could kill us all
Russia could go nuclear, Babylon’s gonna fall
And I looked, and behold, a pale green horse!
And Jesus is coming to save us all but of course!

Here we go
Here we go again
Here we go
A bonafide Hellywood show! 

Here we go
Here we go again
Here we go
Whoa, whoa, whoa

Here we go
Here we go again
Here we go
Here we go again

Israel’s at war, Israel’s at war again
It’s the end of the world, the end of the world again, whoa, whoa

HERE WE GO AGAIN

Thank you for listening.  May the mighty ones pay one day, xo

LIVING IN HELL
This is not my body
This is not my heart
What I wouldn’t do
To blow this ruse apart

This is not my city
This is not my home
It's a fool’s paradise
Ruled by dead men’s bones

CHORUS
It isn’t hard to tell
We’re living in Hell
‘Cuz if this ain’t Hell it may as well be
They sell you one God or another
And it’s brother against brother
And they tell you you’ll burn in Hell for all eternity

At least that’s what they say
To get you to conform
To keep you in chains
Bracing for the next storm

This is not my country
No light on the hill
Like the Days of Noe
Ripened for the kill

And this is not my Bible
The names have been changed
400 years went missing
The King ain’t who they claim

It isn’t hard to tell
We’re living in Hell
‘Cuz if this ain’t Hell it may as well be
They sell you one God or another
And it’s brother against brother
And they tell you you’ll burn in Hell for all eternity

At least that’s what they say
To get you to conform
To keep you in chains
Bracing for the next storm

It isn’t hard to tell
We’re living in Hell
‘Cuz if this ain’t Hell it may as well be.

LIVING IN HELL

Fun Fact:  Did you know that like u*ury, tax on labor is anti-God, anti-Scriptural?  We can only imagine who the hidden hand truly is. Just a fun fact!

TAX-SLAVE USA
It’s a blow to your pride
It’s a slow suicide
The whole life that you gave
It’s a drain on your time
A colossal crime
Tax-Slave USA

‘Cuz the sun is shining
And the birds are singing
You feel like catchin’ a wave
But it’s off to work
And your head hurts
Tax-Slave USA 

CHORUS
Just another wasted day tax-slave-USA
Just another wasted day
From the cradle to the grave tax-slave USA
Just another wasted day

‘Cuz you’re workin’ three jobs
Just Peter to rob
No money left to save
One foot from the poorhouse
And it’s hand-to-mouth
Tax-Slave USA

‘Cuz they tax you to eat
And they tax you to breathe
Tax you on all that you crave
No Boston Tea Party
Could kill this Crown Colony
Tax-Slave USA

Just another wasted day tax-slave-USA
Just another wasted day
From the cradle to the grave tax-slave USA
And you ain’t got a say

Now, D-day’s here again
Got taxes to send
To Caesar your last dime you gave
Prayin’ you dotted your i’s 
And crossed your t’s
Tax-slave USA

And it’s another war
That we’re payin’ for 
Diggin’ our own grave
Who lives or dies Uncle Sam
Don’t give one damn
Tax-Slave USA

Just another wasted day tax-slave USA
Just another wasted day
From the cradle to the grave tax-slave USA
And you ain’t got a say, you ain’t got a say

‘Cuz the sun is shining
And the birds are singing
You feel like catchin’ a wave
But it’s off to work
And your back hurts
Tax-Slave USA 

Just another wasted day tax-slave USA
Just another wasted day
From the cradle to the grave tax-slave USA
And you ain’t got a say, hey-hey

It’s a blow to your pride
It’s a slow suicide
Your whole life that you gave
It’s a drain on your time
A colossal crime
Tax-Slave USA, he-he-he-hey!

TAX - SLAVE USA

Thank you for listening.  This is NOT a mockery of any end times to come or that already came and went. This song is from the latter perspective.  Can't help what I believe. God bless.

IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AGAIN
Sitting on my front stoop
Staring up at the clouds
Waiting for Jesus to appear
I know better now, ‘cuz

CHORUS
Here we go
Here we go again
It’s the end of the world
The end of the world again

I heard it on the News
This could be World War Three
And the red heifer’s ready to go
Jacob’s Trouble, yes-sirry!
And Trump’s Evangelicals
Cheerin’ on a third temple
Bracing for the Tribulation
Feel the earth tremble

Here we go
Here we go again
It’s the end of the world
The end of the world again

Now, Magog’s on the move
Dragon ain’t far behind
And the Pope’s off the hook
‘Cuz Obama’s the anti-Christ
And I looked and behold!
A pale green horse
Another Left Behind movie comin’ to a theater near you! 

Here we go, woo-hoo!
Here we go again
Here we go, woo-hoo! 
Here we go again

Ooh-ooo, Ooh-ooo, Ooh-ooo, Ooh-ooo

Here we go
Here we go again
It’s the end of the world
The end of the world again, ‘cuz…….
…….Israel’s at war
Israel’s at war again
It’s the end of the world
1844 again! 

Ooh-ooo, Ooh-ooo, Ooh-ooo, Ooh-ooo

Here we go
Here we go again
It’s the end of the world
The end of the world again

Here we go
Here we go again
It’s the end of the world
The end of the world again
It's the end of the world
The end of the world again
It’s the end of the world
The end of the world again, amen.

IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AGAIN

Prayers for Palestine.  May the Almighty God show the world His truth.  Much Love and Many Blessings in these turbulent times we live in, xo

FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA 
For the love of freedom
For the love of liberty
Oppression must be vanquished for the sake of humanity
Across God’s green earth
Waving Palestinian flags
The beautiful people continue to cause great calamity

CHORUS
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free
If we had a voice we’d sing from the river to the sea
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free
Palestine will be free
Free, free, free
Palestine will be free

From the Jordan River
To the Mediterranean Sea
The beloved land farmed by their ancestors for centuries 
Since 1948
Driven from their homes
Then came October Seven the greater catastrophe 

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free
If we had a voice, we’d sing from the river to the sea
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free
Palestine will be free
Free, free, free
Palestine will be free
Free, free, free

Instrumental

For the love of freedom
For the love of liberty
Oppression must be vanquished for the sake of humanity
Free to farm the land
Free to raise a family
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free
Palestine will be free
Free, free, free
From the river to the sea
Free, free, free
Palestine will be free
Free, free, free
From the river to the sea
Free, free, free
Palestine will be free!

FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA

Songwriting has been my labor of love since 1980ish.  Here you will find raw and real songs.  I'm not much on guitar and I'm certainly no singer; record most of my latest on an iPhone.  However, I find that to be the beauty of songwriting in that you don't need fancy equipment to get a song across and to write Three-Chord-and-the-Truths!  Thank you for listening.  Rock on, Songsters!  Much love, R. for Renee and/or Rielle and to quote a dear one who's passed over to the other side, "There's a song in there somewhere."
