============================
I met a guy.  He had very extreme political ideas and seemed to believe in every conspiracy.  I asked him where he learned the things he was saying.  He told me he know of a guy in Germany who was a fantastic source.  Afterward it occured to me that the "guy in Germany" could be anyone, and that it was a pretty dubious kind of source for all his supposed knowledge.  Little by little the guy in Germany became the Random Dude.
=============================
Lyrics:
Verse:
I recognize that look
I see it all the time
You probably think that I’ve lost the plot
You worry bout my state of mind
You think I’m lost in conspiracy
But I can see things you might never see
Cuz I’ve found a place where the actual truth
Is handed out to anyone for free

Verse:
I’ve been searching for the truth
For as long as I can recall
I was pretty young when I realized
They were lying to us all
The government, church and the media
Their lies are a complete disgrace
But I found a source for the real story
He been there a while, out in cyber space

Chorus:
He’s got a website on the internet
He’s the strangest guy that you ever met
Don’t know where he lives or his real name
Can’t say for sure that he’s completely sane
A chip on his shoulder and a bad attitude
But that’s my guy, he’s just some random dude

Verse:
I tried going to the library
Talk to some folks who had a pHD
Conversed with a government entitiy
Took a course at the university
I would watch the news or a documentary
But all of their lies never satified me
He doesn’t need evidence, science or math
To get to the truth, the dude found a different path

Bridge:
The dude told me some remarkable facts
Like world not round it’s completely flat
He says the deep state had JFK shot
UFOs are real, covid was not
Chemtrails are part of population contrl
With 5G & vaccines they’re killing us slow
When he told me 911 was an inside job
I kinda had to conclude
That he knows his stuff, the random dude

Verse:
You might trust your scientists,
Doctors and lawyers too
You might trust your experts and
Everything the media’s feeding to you
But I know better I know who to ask
I know someone who’s thought it through
I know a random dude on the internet
He always tells me what’s really true

Chorus:
He’s got a website on the internet
He’s the strangest guy that you ever met
Don’t know where he lives or his real name
Can’t say for sure that he’s completely sane
A chip on his shoulder and a bad attitude
But that’s the guy, he’s just some random dude

Outro:
I once did my own research very seriously
Looking for websites that agreed with me
But these days I hardly even bother to read
I got more answers than I’ll ever need
He knows a hell of a lot and he’s never been wrong
if you want to know more all you gotta do is go to random dude
That’s random dude dot com

Random Dude

Nevaeh

[Verse 1]  
The stars are yawning in the sky  
The moon is peeking, way up high  
And little Cassie snuggles tight  
Wrapped in dreams and soft moonlight  

[Chorus]  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
Mama and Daddy love you so  
Rockin’ slow in Grandpa’s arms  
To the land where dreamers go  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
With kisses soft as snow  
Close your eyes, my little sunshine  
And let the nighttime glow  

[Verse 2]  
Soft toy tucked in by your side  
Whispers float like lullaby tides  
Mama’s song still in the air  
And Daddy’s hugs are everywhere  

[Chorus]  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
Mama and Daddy love you so  
Rockin’ slow in Grandpa’s arms  
To the land where dreamers go  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
With kisses soft as snow  
Close your eyes, my little sunshine  
And let the nighttime glow  

[Bridge]  
You are the twinkle in our days  
The giggle that never fades away  
So dream your dreams, so big and bright  
Grandpa’s here all through the night  

[Final Chorus]  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
Mama and Daddy love you so  
Rockin’ slow in Grandpa’s arms  
To the land where dreamers go  
Sleep, sleep, my sweet Cassie  
With kisses soft as snow  
Close your eyes, my little sunshine  
And let the nighttime glow  

[Outro]  
Let the nighttime glow...  
Goodnight, Cassie.

My Sweet Cassie

You send me the hope of a warm summer breeze.
Start up the war, so I sail out to sea.
Why are we fighting now?
Haven't we learnt there's nowt to be won.

I have no hope for your democracy.
It's mirrors and smoke, and we're fools to believe.
Why they let us run free.
But leave us no scope to move on.

Revolution died on the vine.
And your rat race will never be mine.
All the scales in your favour.
We fought.
Who's it for?
Who's it for? 

Ah bless you, all proud of your democracy.
You hold it above you for us all to see.
Will its gold trickle down?
To our bellies.
You're all back to front.

You raise up the prices, you double the bills.
Worship the money, go in for the kill.
Who are we fighting for?
It certainly isn't ourselves 

Revolution died on the vine.
And your system refuses to shine.
All the cards marked against us.
We fought.
Who's it for?
Who's it for?

Revolution is done.
Haven't we earnt the right to move on?  

The generation that was all ecstasy.
Be off with your Nigel's, and idiocy.
Your white van policies.
You're just bitter old men. 
You are gone.

Oh, haven't you realised that you're getting old?
Haven't you earnt from the prizes they sold?
Didn't you learn to share?
Didn't you learn to care for your soul?

Revolution died on the vine.
What is yours now can never be mine.
All the traps that we fell through are caught.
Who's it for?
Who's it for?

House of Cards

Lyrics

I'd walk the fields in dusty boots
With calloused hands and deeper roots
The stories carved in cedar bark
Still echo when the mornings start
I’ve walked the same path to the hill
Where time stands still, but I never will
Cause there’s a pull I can’t ignore
To wander out and seek some more

But I carry the dirt beneath my feet
And the voices in the winds I meet
The map may change, but the truth I hold
Is we all need roots, and we all need roads

I’ve seen the skyline kiss the plains
And danced beneath September rains
I’ve learned to bend, but never break
Like river stones in mountain lakes
Each mile writes a verse I keep
Tucked in my coat for when it’s steep
I don’t fear the long unknown
When I know just where I’m from and grown

Yeah, I carry the dirt beneath my feet
And the voices in the winds I meet
The map may change, but the truth I hold
Is we all need roots, and we all need roads

Let the seasons shape my name
Let the sunburn write my claim
Home’s not lost, it just expands
In footprints laid across the land

Still I carry the dirt beneath my feet
And the laughter in the friends I greet
The road runs wide, but my heart knows
The strength of roots, and the call of roads

So here I go, no need to choose
I’ve got sturdy roads and growing roots


We All Need Roads

Amour et mort et fleurs fanées

Dans le jardin où dort l’absence
J’ai vu ton ombre au pied des lys
Là où le vent chante en silence
Vers oubliés de nos prémices

Refrain :
Amour et mort et fleurs fanées
Du Baudelaire dans les allées
Et sous les roses empoisonnées
Nos âmes se sont embrasées
Nos âmes se sont embrassées

Des spleens perdus dans le mystère
Ton regard avait ce parfum
Puis, s’effaçant dans la poussière 
Ton cœur battait jusqu’au matin.
(refrain)

Quand l’âme rend sa révérence
À vouloir mourir de beauté
Entre un baiser et un silence
Que ce soit sous un ciel d’été

Refrain :
Amour et mort et fleurs fanées
Un vieux poème abandonné
Et sur ta tombe imaginée
Un (grand) bouquet de vérité

Love and death and faded flower

In the garden where absence sleeps
I saw your shadow at the foot of the lilies
Where the wind sings in silence
Forgotten verses of our beginnings

Chorus:
Love and death and faded flowers
Some Baudelaire in the paths
And under the poisoned roses
Our souls were set ablaze
Our souls embraced

Spleens lost in mystery
Your gaze had this perfume
Then, fading into the dust
Your heart beat until morning.
(chorus)

When the soul gives up its reverence
Wanting to die of beauty
Between a kiss and a silence
Let it be under a summer sky

Chorus:
Love and death and faded flowers
An old abandoned poem
And on your imagined grave
A large bouquet of truth

Amour et mort et fleurs fanées (Jean-Paul Gaido-Daniel / Myckaël Marcovic)

A love song?😍 Yeah, maybe. But not the usual kind.
This one's about giving it all. No filters, no fear, no plan B.
Because when someone becomes your whole damn life,
you stop playing it cool.
You burn. You shine. You stay.
My life is you.❤️
Take it or leave it.

Lyrics:

All my life was just rushing away
‘till now
When you weren’t there
But now even the sun and the stars
Have stopped their rise and fall

My life is you
My life is you
My life is you
Darling
My life is you
Only you 
Now my life  
Belongs to you
To you  

Yes, I'm gonna catch the stars in the sky
Right now
So your bright eyes  
Have lights that shine as high
For their eternal lives  

Yes, I'll catch the magic in the air
Right now
For your happiness
And make you smile forevermore
For the rest of your life  

My life is you
My life is you
My life is you
Darling
My life is you
Honey
My life is you

My life is you
My life is you
All my life is you
Darling
My life is you

Yes, I'll set the fire in my heart
Right now
To keep you warm
Through the coldest nights
Forever by my side

Yes, I'll paint the heavens in your name
Right now
So every dawn
Will whisper soft and bright
That you’re my only light

My life is you
My life is you
My life is you
Darling
My life is you
Honey
My life is you

My life is you
My life is you
All my life is you
Darling
My life is you

My life is you
All my, my life
My life is you

My life is you


My Life Is You
