It's just not funny anymore, the conspiracy theories..the hate filled blogs and social media posts..the absurd rhetoric that passes for political discussion these days
It is hard enough for people to get along as it is (for reasons that are not clear to me) but this background noise is making it impossible to survive.

To quote John Prine "it don't make no sense that common sense don't make no sense no more"

lyrics

superman is made of steel
batman has his batmobile
spider man is fast as lightning
yea their powers are really frightening
but there is one who tops them all
Someone more powerful I can't recall
Someone with no thoughts at all
we call him stupid man

super eyes that can clearly see
to the tip of his pointed nose
super ears that clearly hear all the voices in his head
nerves of steel.no remorse no sense of fear at all
since he doesn't;t know what he's got
he is not afraid to lose it all

there is no truth he can't defeat
by stomping it with his feet
there is no lie that's so far gone
that he can't embrace and sing its song
lizards in the White House
democrats drink baby blood
the moon's not. real its a laboratory
the earth is as flat as can be

King Kong pounds his mighty chest
Godzilla roars out his fiery breath
but stupid man can top them all
he bellows out his rage to all
cause someone told him this was bad
and someone told him that was worse
he doesn't take the time to think
his eyes are shut so he doesn't blink

don't bother him with truth or facts
things for trivial pursuit
He 's busy saving the world from everything that's not like him

so fight on fight on stupid man
until there is no one left but you
then you can learn to fear yourself
and bring an end to this crazy talk

Mighty stupid man

'my own hell'

Most thoughts of mine, well, they must be contained.
Yet somehow they still form words I shouldn't say.
And sometimes I need to be locked in a cage.
Until I can demonstrate that I can manage my brain. 

Why are you fucking with me?
Oh, so abundantly.
It's fucking hard when I can't trust me.
Or anybody else.
So, go on bludgeoning me
until I'm obsolete, 
for this shit will always, forever repeat.
I've become my own hell. 
But I will prevail.
Catch some wind in my sail.
And go blaze my own trail...

my own hell

Elusive Times

This is about  being with people you know.  Where you can be yourself and just kick back with friends. ... just because...  

Lyrics;
The daily grind can really wear you down
And make you feel lost in this big  old dirty town
But you have friends that really care
And understand cause just like you they've all been there

In any season 
You need some time to just let go
Don't need a reason
Hanging out with people that you know

We are gathered together
to have a good time
Got a mountain of good feelings 
Let's see how high we climb

So many things you might like to do
We've even got the music  
You can dance away the blues

Welcome to the party.
So glad that you could come
leave the day behind 
And have a little fun

The daily grind can really wear you down
And make you feel lost in this big  old dirty town
But you have friends that really care
And understand cause just like you they've all been there

Whatever the  season 
You need some time to just let go
Don't need a reason
Just kicking back with people that you know

Welcome to the party 
Let your troubles fly away 
No need for worries
Give yourself a holiday

We had this all together and I thought it needed one thing.  So I added the background vocals.  I hope they are a good addition.
