SONGDRINK draft

Lyrics:
Money breeds money breeds money breeds money
Who wants a seat at the table, who’s hungry?
Bread stacked with cheddar and lettuce, all paper
Numbers on screens, vending machines
Who wants the better life seen through the vapor?
The other side’s green with envy between
Keeping you safer while reaping what’s free
-Keeping you safer and keeping you
Who’s ready to trade in the old for the new?
Are you in control or is it chasing you?
Boil your dreams into steam, that’s your fuel
Then use all your energy working for who?
Rrah! Aren’t you tired of these rules?
Running in circles to play for these fools
And pay for these tools
Each day is a ruse, any moment to lose
No end, go up
It’s never enough and for what?
The best spot in the zoo?
Do you know what to do, or can you buy that too?
Think bigger and better, keep building the past
Don’t slow down the river, you gotta think fast
Use all your life lines cause there isn’t a raft
get outside the box, there’s already a draft
Over spending then sending the scraps to the trash
Then checking the graphs
And having a laugh
it’s funny until you forget what you need
money breeds money breeds greed 

money stacks 
money cheese 
money racks 
money trees
money cash 
money seeds 
money stash 
money please 

A delectable taste
A respectable place
More production more waste
remain chaste and you give up your place 
Now cut to the chase
We’ve traded our time for a dime
Hoarders for quarters, dollars and lines
What’s running your mind, what’s ruining your mind
foresight is hindsight plus time
Are you learning the lessons or paying confessions?
selling concessions while courts are in session
telling the future with fortunes, oppression
upright we stand and talk with our hands
making demands
whats the price for your plan? 
Unlimited data 
On limited land
or so you’ve been told 
so everything from a thought to a breath can be sold
marked up and molded, viral loaded
injected indebted dissected decoded
imploded eroded from inside out 
until you can’t tell who’s the cat or the mouse
and who’s cleaning the house, who’s cleaning your house?
what is dissolving as we keep evolving
who is revolving and who is solving the clues
who’s filling the schools, who’s filling the news?
If you go only forward and don’t look around 
lose sight of the crowd on your way to the crown
drown in the power to choose to pursue
money breeds money breeds you

Me So Lonely
***********
It’s Thursday night
With the weekend collect calling
Asking why we’re lonely
The things we’re not saying 
Are stacked floor to ceiling
Leaving us no room to grieve 

Hey baby I - can’t stop thinking about you
Hey baby I’ve - been wanting to ask you
Why are you keeping me so lonely?

There’s got to be something wrong with me
Why do I stay when I should leave  
Girl, you never waste your breath on me 
Sometimes you stay 
Sometimes you run
Seems like you can be cold to anyone

Hey baby I - can’t stop thinking about you
Hey baby I’ve - been wanting to ask you
Why are you keeping me so lonely

Taking the warning that Monday morning
I took this show on the road
Out on a dark night full of stars
With a broken heart in a jar full of tears 
Hiding myself from the way you make me feel
When was I not good enough for you?

Hey baby I - can’t stop thinking about you
Hey baby I’ve - been wanting to ask you
Why are you keeping me so lonely

Now it seems you changed your tact
Working to get me to come back
All we got to show
Time keeps it all on the down low
Tumbling around with nowhere to go

It’s easy to swallow sallow tears
Not so easy to walk away
I’ll be the one with nothing to say
Time keeps it all on the down low
Tumbling around with nowhere to go
Is there anyone good enough for you 
Back out of the driveway until I’m out of view

Me So Lonely

Revolution

Stranger In My Bed

VERSE
Her smile had me mesmerized
Falling for her disguise
Turned my world upside down

One day I realized
Something’s behind her eyes
And I don’t want to find out

PRE-CHORUS
I knew this would happen
But I did it anyway
Now there’s nothing left
For me to defend

I knew this would happen
But that’s the game I played
And now my mind
Will never rest again

CHORUS
There’s a stranger in my bed
Playing with my head
Watching with her eyes closed
It feels like a threat

There’s a stranger in my bed
Playing with my head
Even with her eyes closed
She’s one step ahead

VERSE
All of the signs I saw
Paid them no mind at all
The more I say, it gets worse

She went right after me
She set a trap for me
And I jumped in it headfirst

PRE-CHORUS
I knew this would happen
But I did it anyway
Now there’s nothing left
For me to defend

I knew this would happen
But that’s the game I played
And now my mind
Will never rest again

CHORUS
There’s a stranger in my bed
Playing with my head
Watching with her eyes closed
It feels like a threat

There’s a stranger in my bed
Playing with my head
Even with her eyes closed
She’s one step ahead

BRIDGE
My eyes won’t let me sleep
Waiting for her to wake up
Wake up, wake up

CHORUS
There’s a stranger in my bed
Playing with my head
Watching with her eyes closed
It feels like a threat

There’s a stranger in my bed
Playing with my head
Even with her eyes closed
She’s one step ahead

There’s a stranger in my bed
Playing with my head
Watching with her eyes closed
It feels like a threat

There’s a stranger in my bed
Playing with my head
Even with her eyes closed
She’s one step ahead

Stranger In My Bed

This song is dedicated to our beautiful black cat we named Coco.  We adopted Coco when she was just a few months old and she had the softest black coat of any cat we've ever seen and her eyes were like huge round butterscotch candies.  We adopted her and her brother during COVID in January 2021.  On November 2, 2023, at the tender age of 3, she ingested something poisonous and we were immediately forced to make the decision that would end her life far too soon.  

This song is a mix of hip-hop rhythms, acoustic guitar, synths and classical strings.  The abrupt ending signifies Coco's departure from our family, much too early.

V_1
This has been going on too long
There’s a choice that needs to be made
Guess I’m making an omelet
I’ve gone and broke that egg
Nothing that supposed to be 
Will never, ever get away

Pre-Chorus
Let me tell you a little secret 
It’s up to you to believe it
There’s no point protesting
Baby, I’m the best thing 

Chorus
I don’t care where you’ve been
I don’t care what you’ve done
You’re good at making problem’s
Where there are none

V_2
It’s said karma’s a bitch
But it’s brought me to you
How was I to know that 
You were going to be one too
Nothing that supposed to be 
Will never, ever get away

Pre-Chorus
Let me tell you a little secret
I don’t care if you’ll believe it
There’s no point protesting
Baby, I’m the best thing 

Chorus
I don’t care where you’ve been
I don’t care who you’ve done
You’re good at making problems
Where there are none

Making Problems

Best listened to barefoot whilst eating red meat with a side of red meat.
