Turn Off That Light!

By admin | Published: September 8, 2023

LYRICS
It’s not like it’s the first time
Been said time and again
Won’t find reason or rhyme
If The End
Is to begin

Turn off the light
Best say good night
Turn off that light!
Hate to spoil
Your midnight oil

More like it’s the last time
Oxygen is getting thin
Won’t find reason or rhyme
If The End
Is to begin

Turn off the light
Best say good night
Turn off that light!
Hate to spoil
Your midnight oil

Welcome to The End of our time
Not said ever again
Won’t find reason or rhyme
If The End
Is to begin

Turn off the light
Best say good night
Turn off that light!
Hate to spoil
Your midnight oil

Thinking

By admin | Published: September 7, 2023

LYRICS
Sitting here thinking
I bet I never would have thought of that
And that was that
Like a light bulb
Or grenade lob
Going off in my head
I said,
“That’s it!
You nailed it!!
Hard to believe
I could conceive
Because there I was
Sitting and thinking
Just sitting and thinking
Sitting here thinking
I bet I never would have thought of that
And that was that
Like a light bulb
Or grenade lob
Going off in my head

Three-Eyed Dinosaur Shrimp

By admin | Published: September 6, 2023

LYRICS
You can get a glimpse
Of a 3-eyed shrimp
At the festival
No more can the dinosaur
Soar or explore
Since the festival

March of the human race
Has left it’s deadly trace
Through the heart of the desert
Planned it
Damn it!

Took the chance to dance
On an ancient stance
At the festival
3-eyed shrimp could not endure
Put an end to the dinosaur
Since the festival

March of the human race
Has left it’s deadly trace
Through the heart of the desert
Planned it
Damn it!

Three-Eyed-Dinosaur-Shrimp.mp3

This is a song about the Burning Man festival of 2023. The Metro UK reported, “Floods at Burning Man have woken up organisms that can lie dormant in the dried-out lake bed for decades. Triops and fairy shrimp are small crustaceans that can survive extreme environmental conditions like drought. They do this by laying eggs that can remain dormant for years until the right conditions are met. When it rains, the eggs hatch and the shrimp emerge to live in the newly formed water. Triops are related to the oldest living creature, Triops cancriformis, which is why they are sometimes called ‘dinosaur shrimp’.”

Rain is rare in the desert of Nevada. 70,000 people marching over the mating of 3-eyed shrimp is even rarer. Now the question is — will any of the Three-Eyed Dinosaur Shrimp survive?

Knock, Knock, Knock

By admin | Published: September 5, 2023

LYRICS
It’s hard to talk
To a rock
No matter how hard
You knock, knock, knock
An intelligent question?
Out of the question

Maybe it’s time
You clean your clock
Toys in the attic
Check your stock
It’s hard to talk
To a rock
No matter how hard
You knock, knock, knock
An intelligent question?
Out of the question

Mental digestion
Mental suggestion
Regurgitated meal spiel
Spew through and through
Unkind diarrhea of the mind
It’s hard to talk
To a rock
No matter how hard
You knock, knock, knock

Dr. Frankenstein

By admin | Published: September 5, 2023

LYRICS
Look at the monster we’ve created
Built our Frankenstein
Then we aggravated
Running out of time
(It’s Frankenstein time)
Our beast is on the loose
Let’s see what fear we’ll induce
The extreme havoc we’ll produce

Look at the disasters… all related
From the monster we created
Then aggravated
Of course we should be berated
’cause we’re… running out of time
(It’s Frankenstein time)
Our beast is on the loose
Let’s see what fear we’ll induce
The extreme havoc we’ll produce

Look how mean is our extreme
Knowledge based on a friggin’ meme
Dangerous to all of us

Dangerous to us
Disastrous to us
It’s Frankenstein time
Our beast is on the loose
Let’s see what fear we’ve induced
The extreme havoc we produced

This song is based on a “discussion” with Darren Wolfe of Philadelphia, PA — How to shutdown a climate denier making a “false narrative” political stand.

Rearrange Rearrange

LYRICS
Now that I’m stuck betwixt
Try n’ find an easy fix
I mean between
A rock and a hard place
The place I’ve been placed
By the human race
I mean obscene
Can’t keep up the pace
Without falling on my face
When you look inside
Deep, deep inside
There’s no where to run
There’s no where to hide

When we rearrange rearrange
With climate change
We accelerate the strange
Now that we’re stuck betwixt
Try n’ find an easy fix
I mean between
A rock and a hard place
The place we’ve been placed
By the human race
I mean obscene
Can’t keep up the pace
Without falling on our face
When you look inside
Deep, deep inside
There’s no where to run
There’s no where to hide

Tributary

By admin | Published: September 3, 2023

LYRICS
Near the top of the mountain
Where the river starts to flow
Here the “opt in” to begin
To deliver down below
What will we see
On the way to the sea
What will become of me
The curtsy of humanity
Or our catastrophe?

Down into the valley
Where the river’s heart does glow
Because quite sadly
The humans made it so
What will we see
On the way to the sea
What will become of me
The curtsy of humanity
Or our catastrophe?

Somehow through the mouth of the bay
Diluted by all they’ve polluted
They say it had to be this way
Wild-eyed and deluded
Had what we’ll be in our home in the see
What became of we
Cruelty of humanity
Till we can not sea

Tributary.mp3

Chords: E9 E E7/m7 / G D A / G D A E / B7 A E
Instrumentation: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar
Written and recorded over Lake Wynonah, Pennsylvania… where the Blue Mountain forms a tributary to the Schuylkill River… flowing past Reading and Philadelphia… to its confluence with the Delaware River… into the Delaware Bay… through to the Atlantic Ocean (between Cape May and Cape Henlopen.)

Have Some More

By admin | Published: September 3, 2023

LYRICS
Have some
Have some more
Handsome
Nevermore
Well, son
Do you want to endure?
Why indulge the bulge
Encourage the gorge
Topped with a surplus of splurge

Do you really want some
Well, son
Have some… have some more
Then, some
Pour until poor
Why indulge the bulge
Encourage the gorge
Topped with a surplus of splurge

Do you really, really want some
Then some
Some sum
Ridiculous and/or dumb
Not “need some else I’m done”?
Why indulge the bulge
Encourage the gorge
Topped with a surplus of splurge

Chords: C Em C E / C D A / A C D A / C B7 E
Instrumentation: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar
Written and recorded at Lake Wynonah, Pennsylvania

Have-Some-More.mp3

In 2023, we wrote about having crossed tipping points in the paper, “Climate Change: How Long Is ‘Ever’?“. When we forecast crossing these tipping points, we thought it would not happen for centuries. We underestimated Man’s ignorance and arrogance. Fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions have continued to set record highs. Humans have caused chain-reactions resulting in domino-effects, snowball effects, and feedback loops.

Conclusion

The United States has unsustainable mass consumption. US consumers are destroying the world’s environment and economies. The excessive demand of US consumers has resulted in the exploitation of natural resources, the largest emissions of pollution and greenhouse gases, inflation, currency disparity, and the largest redistribution of wealth in the world. Americans’ mass consumption is responsible for creating the greatest income disparity, wealth inequity, and poverty.

I Heard It Through the Grapevine

By admin | Published: September 2, 2023

Coversong originally made famous by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong

Dm                                         
Bet you're wondering how I knew 'bout your 
A                G
plans to make me blue
                Dm                        
with some other guy that you knew before.  
                       A
Between the two of us guys you
                G                    Bm       
know I love you more.  It took me by surprise 
       G            Dm
I must say,  when I found out
      G
yesterday. Ooh

Dm                               
I heard it through the grapevine 
         G
not much longer would you be mine.
      Dm                             
Ooh I heard it through the grapevine, 
         G
and I'm just about to lose my mind.
             Dm
Honey, honey yeah.


You know that a man ain't supposed to cry, 
but these tears I can't hold inside.
Losin' you would end my life you see, 
cause you mean that much to me.
You could have told me yourself 
that you found someone else.
Instead

chorus

People say believe half of what you see, 
son, and none of what you hear.
I can't help bein' confused if it's true 
please tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go for the other guy 
that you knew before?

Ooh I chorus x 2

Missed a Way

By admin | Published: September 2, 2023

LYRICS
Pissed away a nice sunny day
Missed a way to pull you through
If the proof is in the pudding
Then what the hell are we doing?
The aloof in charge of pushing
Whatever the hell we’re doing
Pissed away a nice sunny day
Missed a way to pull you through
If it’s plain as the nose on our face
Then why the damn disgrace
The insane in charge of the place
“Whatever,” the human race says
Pissed away a nice sunny day
Missed a way to pull you through
If the road ahead is obvious
Then what the hell is wrong with us
We’ll erode our charge illustrious
Whatever the hell destroys us
Pissed away a nice sunny day
Missed a way to pull you through

No Sleep Tonight

LYRICS
After all is said and done
Alright?
Until we’ve won some
Sunlight
Alright!
There’s no sleep tonight
There’s no sleep tonight

Gotta find the years
To put back the ice
All or our fears
’cause we weren’t nice
After all is said and done
Alright?
Until we’ve won some
Sunlight
Alright!
There’s no sleep tonight
There’s no sleep tonight

Gotta find the time
To clean up the air
Caused us to whine
… and wheeze… to be fair
After all is said and done
Alright?
Until we’ve won some
Sunlight
Alright!
There’s no sleep tonight
There’s no sleep tonight

Gotta find a way
To tame the hurricane
Because I hate to say
We’re the lame humane
After all is said and done
Alright?
Until we’ve won some
Sunlight
Alright!
There’s no sleep tonight
There’s no sleep tonight

Gotta find the will
To adapt our habit (fossil fuel fool)
Well, because until…

Alright!
