Tom Cat Blues

I'd like to be your carpet, darlin',
 the finest grade..
I wanna be your carpet, honey,
the finest grade.
Cause if I was your high class carpet, baby,
Well maybe I'd get laid.

Or I could be your table, darlin',
that would be all right.
Let me be your table, honey,
that would be all right.
Cause I know you lay your table, baby,
morning, noon, and night.

NOW A WOMAN SHE JUST NEED TO SHAKE IT
AND SHE GOT MORE FUN THAN SHE CAN EVER USE
BUT A MAN NEED A POCKET FULL OF MONEY,
SWEET TALK, OR FRIENDS WHO SPREAD THE NEWS.
AND IF HE DON'T…
HE’S GOT THE TOM CAT BLUES.

So take me to the funeral parlor
Cause I'm about to die.
Take me to the undertaker, honey,
cause I’m about to die.
Lay me on down in that casket
maybe these TOM CAT BLUES'll pass me by.

(Chorus)

(Caterwauling)
Sounds like the TOM CAT BLUES.
(More caterwauling)
Yeah, those are the TOM CAT BLUES.
(Still more caterwauling)
Ooooh, he's got 'em bad!

	Doin' the Moo Cow Moo

Intro:
Once I had a moo cow
Lord! That cow was blue
sang the blues all day
sang 'em the whole night through
made me feel so sad
I had to sing 'em too

Verse 1:
Now I woke up this mornin'
and my ol' dog Boogaloo
he wasn't even barkin'
he was doin' the Moo Cow Moo

He was singin' like that old moo cow
the one that's truly blue
started singing like a moo cow
Doin' the Moo Cow Moo

Chorus:
Oh, doin' the Moo Cow Moo
Oh, doin' the Moo Cow Moo
Started singing like that old moo cow
Doin' the Moo Cow Moo
Oh, doin' the Moo Cow Moo
Oh, doin' the Moo Cow Moo
Started singing like that old moo cow
Doin' the Moo Cow Moo

Verse 2:
Had a visit from my boyfriend
the one I wanna woo
well he heard my sad bovine
and now he's doin' it too.

He's singin' like that moo cow
the one that's truly blue
started singing like an old moo cow
Doin' the Moo Cow Moo

Repeat Chorus:

Verse 3:
Even my rooster did it
then I put him in the stew
I think I hear him in the pot
doin' the Moo Cow Moo

He's singin' like that moo cow
the one that's truly blue
started singing like a moo cow
Doin' the Moo Cow Moo

Repeat Chorus:

	A Little Mo' Money

Verse 1:
Went down to the groc'ry
to buy me a cake
ended up loaded
with more than I could take.
I was lookin' at the pictures,
readin' all the signs.
somehow in the bright lights
I lost my mind.

Chorus:
They wanna squeeze a little mo' money,
a little mo' money,
they wanna squeeze a little mo' money
outta me

Verse 2:
This is black friday,
somebody said.
My pockets got wrung out,
got left for dead.
I'll be at the shelter
you'll find me there
sippin' up my soup
and sayin' my prayers.

Bridge:
I don't know about you, but this is not the world I envisioned.
I wanted a world in which people cared.

Chorus 2:
They wanna squeeze a little mo' money,
a little mo' money,
they wanna squeeze a little mo' money
outta me.
They wanna squeeze a little mo' money
outta you and me.

Chorus 3:
They wanna squeeze a little mo' money,
a little mo' money,
they wanna squeeze a little mo' money
outta you and me.

Repeat chorus 3:

Tag:
We need a world of sharing where greed becomes caring.
We need a world of sharing where greed becomes caring.

A Little Mo' Money

The Overton window, also known as the window of discourse, is the range of ideas tolerated in public discourse. The term is derived from its originator, Joseph P. Overton. 

According to Overton's description, his window includes a range of policies considered politically acceptable in the current climate of public opinion, which a politician can recommend without being considered too extreme to gain or keep public office.


Overton Window

Verse 1:
I have this idea, but no one will listen.
I'm having thoughts of a world that could be.
We could end war and focus on loving.
But nobody ever listens to me.

Verse 2:
I have this idea, let's stop living for money,                                                                  
let's live for people, help them be all they are.
We could raise children to care about others.
Why did the room go suddenly dark?

Chorus:
Who built the frame for this Overton Window?
When I crack it open it falls with a thud.
I'm tryin' to see out of this Overton Window,
but it's all covered up with brown smears of mud.

Verse 3:
Nothing is certain till the moment it happens.
And if we work for it all... it just might come true.
So I want to work to make the world better,
to open the window and take in the view.

Repeat Chorus:

I'm Running Out Of Tears

Verse 1:
Another man has snapped
watching children play 
with a weapon in his hand;
those children died today.

Chorus:
I'm tired of all this pain.
When will these murders end?
It's been going on for years.
Today it came again.
I'm running out of tears.
I'm running out of tears.
I'm running out of tears.
I'm running out of tears.

Verse 2:
And pointless words are said
but nothing will be done
we're still at the mercy
of a madman with a gun.

Bridge:
I don't know the answers.
I don't know what to do,
but we've got to think of something...
that's the one thing I know is true. Cause I'm...

Chorus:
tired of all this pain.
When will these murders end?
It's been going on for years.
Today it came again.
I'm running out of tears.
I'm running out of tears.
I'm running out of tears.
I'm running out of tears.

I Want To Bring Hope 

Music by Alexandre Zindel https://soundcloud.com/alexandrezindel 
Lyrics by Stanfield Major


I want to bring hope to people.
I want to bring people to hope.
There is so much that could bring us together.
We can do so much more than just cope.

I know.
I know how hard.
I know how hard it can be,
but I'm reaching out.
Will you,
will you do it?
Will you reach out to me
so we can see what can be?

There can be a future,
but we'll have to fight for it...
the dragons of hatred and greed
don't die easily.
But we can do this,
we can defeat them,
we can do this,
will you do this with me?

I want to bring hope to people.
I want to bring people to hope.
There is so much that could bring us together.
We can do so much more than just cope.

I know.
I know how hard.
I know how hard it can be,
but I'm reaching out.
Will you,
will you do it?
Will you reach out to me
so we can see what can be?

Don't look to leaders.
Look deep inside.
Own your own strength.
Own your own pride.

Let's bring hope to people.
Let's bring people to hope.
There is so much that could bring us together.
We can do so much more than just cope.

I am a lyricist who has written songs in a variety of genres.

I joined SoundCloud to achieve two basic objectives: 1) Find musicians who want to perform and record the songs I've already had a part in writing. 2) Find songwriters to write music for the lyrics I've written or will write in the future. And musicians who'd like to help record these songs.
