Mind Thieves 04:33
lyrics
buy track
I wish I had the time To crusade those who steal my mind So I hide it in a place now I can't even find! Relax Backtrack Unwind Refind your better place that helps to keep you sane… I wish I had the time To crusade those who try and steal my mind! When I finally get to my special place I’m grateful in every way For being woke to plights of this none-for-all, “SO!?”ciety… Relax Backtrack Unwind Refind your better place which helps to keep you sane… I wish I had the time To crusade those who try and steal my mind! And when this sick and tired dog has its day... Those Mind Thieves better get that truck out of my way! Because the fury of Holy Hell will be upon them! I wish I had the time To crusade those who try and steal my mind! And when this sick and tired dog has its day... Those Mind Thieves better get out of the way! I wish a better way of finding my mind I lose all the time And when this sick and tired dog has its day Those Mind Thieves better GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY!!

Walk Not Talk 04:33
lyrics

Do you want to go for a walk? Get out of the house? We’ll walk, not talk, skip down the stairs and spill out down onto the sidewalk… With no talk Watch out for the roots that pushed up through the sidewalk So don’t you stub your toe and ruin a good thought! Come on let’s go for a walk Be fun to walk not talk Alone with our thoughts outside But perfectly in stride! Solving the world's problems and yesterday's dramas The birds focus our attention on what’s really important... Do you want to go for a walk? Do you want to walk and not talk? Do you want to go for a walk And get outside? We’ll let the dogs lead the way And shit where the kids will play Maybe we’ll meet someone new We’ll wave a continue Get lost back in thought Get back to walk not talk Do you want to go for a walk? Do you want to walk and not talk? Do you want to go for a walk? And get outside? We’re only gonna walk, not talk and enjoy our stride!

Can You Hear Me (On the Other Side?) 04:33
lyrics
buy track
One shocked moment of tragic news, OH! You crossed over to the other side Joined angels there… One shocked moment of “GOOD GOD NO!” Left me here all alone to ask “Where did you go?” (So) Where did you go!? Can you hear me when I call your name? What does it look like in your day to day? How is it on the other side? Something tells me that you did not die And that they lied! One shocked moment A deadly blow Not for you, but for us to have to let you go! You weren't ready, we weren't ready To live in a world without your love here Reminded by all of things you held dear I hope that all who hear this song Live a better life ‘cause we don’t have long! Can you hear me when I call your name? What does it look like in your day to day? How is it on the other side? Something tells me that you did not die! Do you sit on my shoulder And whisper of danger? Visit your parents Tell them not to anger? Did you assume that butterfly Land on my hand to just say “hi”!? Do you live in perpetual light? Do you keep evil from taking over like in the movies? With a badass army of angels ready to put that devil in his place... Or just a pile of ashes in this urn and a picture of a pretty face? I know it's the former… I know it’s you! Can you hear me when I call your name? What does it look like in your day to day? How is it on the other side? Something tells me that you did not die! Do you gather up angels when I’m threatened by strangers? Move time so slightly just to keep me from danger? Put a good word with the Man in Light So I make the most of this great life! (And the angels sing) “Ahh “Ahh, Ohh!” “Ahh “Ahh, Ohh! “Ahh “Ahh, Ohh!

Cowboy Down 04:19

Oh my no! Political ego! This cowboy’s dream in getting too damn extreme So John and Jane and Katlyn knee jerked someone to do something about it They let their anger lead and now that Cowboy bleeds But they’d rather point their fingers at each other than agree to stop it Oh my no! Desperado ego! Wealthy too exclusive Hippies so inclusive Media is so obtrusive Brings the cowboy down Politicians so divisive Leaders so repulsive Leaves the people indecisive Shown no common ground! This Cowboy’s Down! Hey! They like our heads in the sand Which shields us from the truth like in Vietnam That the war is at home against the fear of fear itself So let’s stop it! And now you see it’s time To keep from stepping on ignorant land mines Because the Man will steal your remains to sell for a profit Oh my no! Magnifico ego! Disease is so pervasive Poppy so erosive The weather so destructive Brings the Cowboy Down! Weapons so conflicted Learning so restricted The family separated Brings the Cowboy down! Religions been exploited Pharisees appointed Congregation disappointed Brings the Cowboy Down! Selfishness, Corruption, Fear is to blame for all! Wealthy too exclusive Hippies so inclusive Media is so obtrusive Brings the cowboy down Politicians so divisive Leaders so repulsive Leaves the people indecisive Shown no common ground! Disease is so pervasive Poppy so erosive The weather so destructive Brings the Cowboy Down! Weapons so conflicted Learning so restricted The family separated Brings the Cowboy down! Religions been exploited Pharisees appointed Congregation disappointed Brings the Cowboy Down! Selfishness, Corruption, Fear is to blame for all!

Choppy 03:23

Just when we thought we made progress towards an equal human race Others judged only by actions Evil shouted HEY, HEY, NO, NO! We were born a ball of perfect baby love With only good planted in our hearts There was no dark! Until Farmer Frown done come around with evil seeds to make us “great” And know you know what happened, when we planted, forever sealed our fate Turn this thing around We’re gonna turn this thing around! Turn it upside down We’re gonna turn this right, right upside down Chop, chop, chop it down We’re gonna chop, gonna chop, gonna chop, chop, chop it down Farmer Frown goes down And turn Farmer Frown right upside down! Whoah, hey! Some will say that it’s prophesied this way To separate the wheat from the shaft But if you throw away the good before knowing it’s bad You will surely miss those things you always wished you had PEACE! Turn this thing around We’re gonna turn this thing around! Turn it upside down We’re gonna turn this right, right upside down Chop, chop, chop it down We’re gonna chop, gonna chop, gonna chop, chop, chop it down Farmer Frown goes down And turn Farmer Frown right upside down! Whoah, hey!

I see your face taped to my stop sign And wonder where you’ve gone with keys and money left behind? Window open wide You couldn’t have gone far...or did they finally find you out? Come and get your ticket, arm and firmly drag you out? It looks like you have WON! The Monday Morning Lottery It’s the one you don’t want to win or even play the game for free The prize is big, but too big to enjoy! And you sure won’t want to share a prize that will kill, maim, destroy! They took your face down off my stop sign I’m so sorry it was your in time it will be mine! Monday Morning Lottery is your number up this time? Yours or mine? All in time! So hey oh! Here we go! Stick your hand in and pull your number out! 3...7...22...33...72 and your lucky number 13! The Monday Morning Lottery The grand prize is way too big to enjoy! It’s the one you don’t want to win or even play this game for free That fucking Monday Morning Lottery! They took your face down from my stop sign We’ll be sure to pray for family that you left behind (R.I.P. Timothy Cunningham)

Hey! Ho.. Hey! We’ve got hard jobs we get low pay Sick of rich men who say “Work hard like me you’ll see the day and get your Lifelong Holiday” Ho that Holiday! Oh, rent! But not for the 1% And now he’s president Give him a chance to make a dent in this corrupted government With better odds of lightning strikes Or being crushed by meteorites Stop your concern for socialites and pay attention Change the world for all to have a lifelong holiday! Ho that Holiday! Hey! Ooo, Ahh… Ho that Holiday! Hey!

Ahh Bop, bop, bop These are such trying times I know because I see you try To fight with those who make their wealth from goods decline You’d think to make a simple life it wouldn’t be so hard So when dog eats dog and not loves When I try to make us more than money I know that you put up with me honey One day we’ll have that house in the country I know that I truly love you honey! You know we’ll be fine...kids, you and I? Can’t say the same for those who made it hard When our dog eats their dog alive When I try to make us more than money I know that you put up with me honey One day we’ll have that house in the country I know that I truly love you honey! I try to make us more than money I know that you put up with me honey One day we’ll have that house in the country I know that I truly love you honey (while watching a hit with my love during the World Series together on the phone) Ohhhh get it!

When I look back on life I wish I woulda spent more time with you Never fret about consequence It’s a frivolous pursuit Ahh! Make sure you go live your life Not the ones others expect from you Learn happiness is a choice And to say “I love” to you Ahh! When I look back on life I wish I never cared what people thought If I could get back that time I’d get what I originally sought Ahh! When I look back on life I wish I would have spent more time with you Learned happiness is a choice And to say that I love you!
