All aboard, everyone! We are going to sail to uncharted seas Everybody get on board! Our new captain's wife is willing to striptease We will dance the night away We'll gamble and drink gin... If we get three sixes, we will win But the poor people will surely lose And we'll never have to pay our dues All aboard, everyone! Just lie back, enjoy the sun, and feel the breeze Everybody get on board! Our distractions will put all your minds at ease We will dance the night away We'll gamble and drink gin... If we get three sixes, we will win But the poor people will surely lose And we'll never have to pay our... Don't listen to a word they say About how much we lie, cheat, and steal Just let your feelings tell you the difference between what is fake and real You're getting very sleepy Close your eyes Just let the sound of my voice Be your guide... All aboard, everyone! We'll do anything to placate and appease Everybody get on board! We've got boatloads of new empty guarantees We will dance the night away We'll gamble and drink gin... If we get three sixes, we will win But the poor people will surely lose And we'll never have to pay our... Don't listen to a word they say About how much we lie, cheat, and steal Just let your feelings tell you the difference between what is fake and real You're getting very sleepy Close your eyes Just let the sound of my voice Be your guide...

Entitled to Be Untitled 06:11

He got a job At his daddy's firm But he thinks that he's a self-made man His wealth came from Inheritance But he thinks it's from his well-known brand He tells us that it's in his genes And he was just born that way Even when his idiocy is fully on display He tells us that he knows best Despite the experts' dismay And all of his evidence comes from lots of hearsay No one criticize this guy Or he'll throw a fit Then you'll go to court, where he'll sue you Survival of the richest in the land of the free The home of the brave is in foreclosure Can you see the golden streams Trickling down the drain? I'm sure there are jobs down there somewhere How can someone reach the top When they're the bottom line? How low can you go when your job is in limbo? There are no more facts Everybody needs to just relax And also be scared They are not elites Even the orange guy with golden seats Who showers in praise There are super PACs That purchase legislative acts To enslave us all They're under the sheets With racists who have senate seats Was it good for you? News is often short-cited In our big small town Conspiracies are "just theories" Schrödinger's immigrant got grabbed by tiny hands No more stealing jobs while on Welfare Now we all live three doors down from a lunatic Who has skeletons in his crypt tonight Naturally, Agent Orange hates the EPA They'll tell everyone he is the Toxic Avenger

Profoundly Ordinary 03:56
lyrics

What a rush! What a thrill! It seems like nothing else could fit the bill What prowess! Superb skill! Those are very large shoes for one to fill What presence! What a voice! Just the sound of it makes us all rejoice What appeal! Superb charm! There is no way he could ever do us harm Is he super human or is he just a man? His name precedes all of his deeds Is he somehow god-like or is he typical? It all depends on what we believe What a fraud! What a scam! He is the wolf to our sacrificial lamb What prowess? There's no skill He'll just bullshit us and make us foot the bill We're absent! We're voiceless! He will exploit us in times of great distress What a prick! There's no tact! That is not a good way for one to act

Infinite Depth 03:25
lyrics

How many perspectives does it take to fully grasp something? And at what time should perspectives change? What types of coincidences count as synchronicities? Where is my golden scarab? How many examples are enough to understand something? And when are they false analogies? What types of illusions are best suited for magicians? Where should I direct my focus? There is so much more than just what you see on the surface at any given time When we try to eliminate ignorance, we find another mountain we must climb How many wins does it take to be considered lucky? And at what time is one considered cursed? What types of predictions count as seeing into the future? Where is my crystal ball? How many experiences are enough to gain wisdom? And when does it lead to inner peace? What types of delusions are best suited for creative work? Where does genius come from?

Only the Best 03:32

See this rock? It is the best It is one of a kind You won't find Better rocks Anywhere else but here You deserve only the best We will tell you what that is And we'll charge you much more than anyone else We select only the best Using arbitrary rules So your status symbols elevate your worth See this stone? It is the best It is one of a kind You won't find Better stones Anywhere else but here

A Plague of Locus 03:54

What does that girl think of me? I hope it's something good My self-worth is riding on her opinion All it takes is one bad thought To awaken swarms of pestilence in my vulnerable mind What does my boss think of me? I hope it's something good My career is riding on this next review All it takes is one mistake To awaken swarms of pestilence in my vulnerable mind Save me Save me from myself Help me Help me save myself What does this guy think of me? I hope it's something good My self-worth is riding on his opinion All it takes is one bad thought To awaken swarms of pestilence in my vulnerable mind What does this crowd think of me? I hope it's something good My career is riding on their reaction All it takes is one mistake To awaken swarms of pestilence in my vulnerable mind Save me Save me from myself Help me Help me save myself It's time I find something inside To give me a feeling of control It's time I find a way to divide What will crack and what will keep me whole

Exotic Relativity 05:05

Look at the way those guys are dressed It is so weird It is not normal Look at what those guys chose to eat It is so weird It is not normal Look at the color of their hair It is so weird It is not normal Look at the tattoos that guy has It is so weird It is not normal That is not what I am used to It seems really strange I cling to my old traditions Due to my fear of change How can I get a complete view of anything when I filter out so much? How can I make informed decisions in a world where I only see clichés? Look at the art that's on display It is so weird It is not normal Look at the piercings that guy has It is so weird It is not normal

Like Taking a Baby from Candy 04:47
lyrics

The only thing I care about is making sure someone's born After that, they're on their own I won't support the poor Starving kids and bad parents are none of my concern Take away all they have and say it is because they're lazy Tell me everything I want to hear on my one issue The rest of my morals will be thrown out like a tissue Just give all of your lip service to the cheering masses They are waiting for you to kiss their collective white asses It might take a whole village to raise a single child But some of the villagers choose not to pitch in Rape victims and cases of incest are ignored Take away their dignity and tell them that it was all their fault

Interpreters 03:09
lyrics

I live in a skewed reality full of alternative facts Propaganda and emotions are fueling constant attacks We no longer have a need to think for ourselves anymore Everyone knows that is what we have press conferences for We no longer need a dictionary to know what things mean And we don't need scientists saving lives with a vaccine They've got brand new definitions So illusions can seem real Laws will have interpretations That make it easy to steal They've got brand new definitions To inform you how to feel Laws will be crafted for them to Make it easy to conceal We no longer have a need to question those in government Anyone who questions them will receive a punishment We no longer need a constitution when creating laws All that really matters now is the sound of mass applause

Beyond Redemption 04:22
lyrics

I want a good tale to tell with a lesson to learn Show me how the underdog makes an epic return Conflict can create a place for characters to grow Pushing them into the zone that's beyond their plateau Time will not heal our wounds Unless we spend it wisely We can't define ourselves by the past anymore Add time to tragedy Sometimes we get comedy Turn something horrifying into something absurd Maybe tragedy is when I cut my finger and cry And comedy is when I fall into a sewer and die Sometimes when we laugh we tell ourselves that we're okay Everyone wants to feel safe at the end of the day If a joke is not benign Some people will chuckle anyway And sometimes the area is gray It takes time for our fears to allay Meaning is within our minds Dictionaries can be thrown away We may never know how to convey What it is we really want to say

No Matter What 03:05
lyrics

Being right or wrong is so subjective No one ever thinks that they're the bad dude When you think you're right, you feel self-righteous All of the ends justify the means I will do what I said I would do no matter what Even if it makes me look like I'm a total nut I will always be the guy who's stuck in his old ways That is, of course, unless it means I will get more praise Being a victim is so subjective No one ever thinks that they're the bad dude When you think you're wronged, you feel self-righteous All of the ends justify the means

Gay Ray Reggae 04:00

Mr. Ashburn danced on the grave of LGBTQ rights But he danced another way in Sacramento one night While protecting us from the downfall of society The Troy of King negotiated a male aide's salary Mr. Curtis worked to protect the right to discriminate But his work was done when his male escort changed his rate Another escort helped Pastor Ted explore a brand new life Much to the dismay of his followers and his wife That's why we must wear our tin foil hats To create a Faraday cage It will shield us from the mind control That the Hollywood elites beam from outer space Schrock was an ogre who shrieked about the dangers of shower time But he talked another way when on a gay chat line Glenn Murphy, Jr. was rising in the Republican Party Now he's on a sexual offender registry Bruce Barclay was cleared of the initial charge of rape But they still uncovered sex, lies, and videotape Matthew Makela preached to gay kids that he thought they should stop While he advertized on Grindr that he was a top

Mr. Radel said there should be drug tests for those who can't be Trey Dr. Katz prescribed himself medication he voted against Rush was quick to push a higher dose of pain for anyone but himself Tasker had the task to defend our kids from sobriety When the pot calls the grass green They put up a smokescreen And then look down on you From the ground they think is actually high Speaking of our kids, if you want some good stuff...just ask Denny Sparks If you're looking for pills a radio host loves...just ask Mayor Grubbs When the pot calls the grass green They put up a smokescreen And then look down on you From their high elephants When the pot calls the grass green They put up a smokescreen And then look down on you From the ground they think is actually high

Coitus, pharmaceuticals, and whatever Alan Freed's ghost calls my music.

These rough recordings are some musical ideas I've had over the years. The process is very slow because I'm doing everything on my own - guitars, drums, vocals, lyrics, recording, mixing, etc. I hope to someday record them again with a band and maybe play them live. Until then, enjoy listening to my creative process. ... more
