Click On Me

How did we get here again
Down in the hole again    
On our knees    
Calling Democracy

How did we get here again
Back in this place again
Ambitiously blind     
Call it hegemony

Dr. time are you alive   
Have you become anesthetized
Dr. time won't you prescribe 
Half a dose of hope
In these troubled times

How did we get here again
Down in the hole again  
Ignorance the crime   
Call it insanity

How did we get here again
Back in this place again
Where's the empathy     
Call it hypocrisy

Dr. time are you alive   
Have you become anesthetized
Dr. time won't you prescribe 
Half a dose of hope

Corporate Kings
With plastic Queens
And I'm the joker  
Who thought love was all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need

Dr. time won't you prescribe half a dose of hope                                                                                         
Half a dose of hope 
Half a dose of hope        
In these troubled times
In these troubled times

Time Heals

A "Coltranesque" reflection on an insect by my 12 year old Students.....PRICELESS!!!!!!

Entomology

This song woke me up in the morning and wrote itself!! I think it's in the spirit of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land."  Feel free to comment what you think the song is about.... I'm still trying to figure it out!!  CHEERS!!!

Lyrics:

Here comes the sun
It burns and feeds everyone
Freedom is a smoking gun
The sunlight is for everyone
Here comes the sun

Into the hearts of everyone
Black white red will run; into the blues of the rising sun
The sunlight is for everyone
Here comes the sun

Freedom is a nasty pill
With morals gone blood will spill
Mindful of the need to chill
But Freedom is a smoking gun
and the sunlight is for everyone
Here comes the sun

Single

Here Comes The Sun

The one time I had The Pleasure of Drumming for one of my Favorite Songwriters ....... Roger Waters.

"Wish You Were Here" LIVE - Drumming with Roger Waters

I wrote this song at a very low point in my life. My personal struggle has been finding a healthy balance between Human Desire (Selfishness) and Big LOVE ( what some might also call The Creator’s LOVE ) It’s Human to have Desires, and Love may be intertwined with this Desire, but there is always a price to be paid. We make decisions. Big LOVE never fails us.
Onward we go......

Lyrics:

back against a wall in new york city
bricks and bones   hungry and cold
november morning    blew right through me
revealing your secret

I was hoping you were alright
you were scheming to steal a life
piece by piece,   distort my reality

Desire
distort my reality

back against a wall in new york city
bricks and bones    stone cold funeral home
september morning    whispered sweetly 
I'm a slave to your nonsense 

Desire
distort my reality

Desire
