“Flashback Forward”
Drones over America
Once there was a land that was free
Known as a home of the brave
Some say what a quaint memory
But now we must stay afraid
Who are they to take it away
Why so easily gone
Some say that is the price to be paid
Ain’t nothing to see here, move along
Hey! Just like back in the day
JFK, RFK, MLK, from Mal X to honest Abe it’s the same
Make some change get in the way of a bullet to the brain
Free love in the sunshine
Fragrant herbs enhancing fine wine
A renaissance of evolving minds
It was a Golden Age
Hey! That was back in the day
Listen to Dylan, Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, from Lennon to Cobain
Avoid small planes, shotguns and trains
We got a stopped clock when blowback came
Look out up above
Drones over America
They’re watching you
Drones over America
There’s nowhere left to go
Drones over America
“I’m with the 99”
They got your back up against the wall, Stand up throw down hard
Then they lay odds against us all, A Revolution starts
It’s a complex reality, In a digital divide
Rising up together we see, The whole wide world is occupied
(chorus)
99 to 1, And we are the 99
We meet in the streets, We resist in kind
Among account to come, I’m with the 99
On a Hill dance the partisan tag team in-betweens
Under siege freedom of speech, Dollar rules Supreme
Fed up with the Oligarchs, Thieves lurk in the dark
Lies reside in the White House
And justice for all not allowed
If equality matters better count out loud
(chorus)
It’s begun, It’s 99 to 1
I’m with the 99, Got to get it done
I’m with the 99. Now the time has come
“FREE SPIRIT”
Free Spirit – At work and play
Don’t try to contain her
Free Spirit – In pursuit of her own way
Nobody can tame her
Beautiful – Bountiful
When Nature nurtures all is possible
She teaches US – Each of US
And learn We must
How the gift of Knowledge handed down
Gives what it receives – Be healthy and free
Love is what we’re looking for
And a Song is stronger than a sword
Free Spirit – That’s the American Way
Taking back our Country – We the People of the USA
Free Spirit – A new Independence Day
Lady Liberty still has a say
Free to speak in your own voice
Protect the peace – Make your own choice
Earth citizens – All join in – Indivisible wins
Teachers, Students, Scholars, Workers, Artisans
Even Captains of Industry
All colors and creeds – Together free
A Democracy worth fighting for
And a Song is stronger than a sword
Turns out Love lasts longer as it’s own reward
So be a Peace Monger – Even Hate can be conquered
Because a Song is stronger than a sword
“SHAKEDOWN”
Shakedown – Out to get you too
Trouble’s come to town – Here today
Be hangin’ around for an extended stay
Shakedown
Can’t stop it now – Time has run out
Gotta do without – But there ain’t no doubt
It’s a Takedown
Round and round it goes
Straight to the top – It don’t stop
On and on it flows
Ready or not
Opportunity knocks for the connected dots
Judges, lawyers, cops, politicians been bought
It’s a Shakedown
Big Corporation Man runs a lawless scam
With a Master Plan from an Invisible Hand
In a Shakedown
Round and round it goes
Straight to the top – It won’t stop
On and on it flows
Comes back around – No Trickle Down
No Middle Ground survives – Only lies
Shakedown – About to get you too
“WHERE ARE WE GOING”
When we see these so called Elites, appeased by Empire’s wealthy reach
Makes you wonder what they’re not telling us
When we see Crazy win the day, bridges and roadways in decay
GMO’s grow, chemicals frack and flow, top soil razed
Where Are We Going – System implosion, people scared
Where Are We Going – the smell of fear is in the air
When we see bodies in the street, deserted rotting in the heat
Makes you wonder what they’re not telling us
When we see We are the disease, so sick with greed infect the seas fell all the trees
Snows unfroze, methane chokes, the very air toxic to breathe
Where Are We Going – what comes undone when we get there
Where Are We Going – false flags waving everywhere
Whatcha gonna do when you’re all alone – out in the open on your own
Will it be You or I – Do or Die
Whatcha gonna do when you’re all alone – a World on fire without a home
Will it be You or I – Do or Die
Tell me – Where Are We Going, Where Are We Going
Better be telling’ me where – Where Are We Going
Where – Where Are We Going – Where – I just gotta know
“LAW OF THE JUNGLE”
Come on everybody get in line, Follow the leader one more time
Con on a stump thinks you’re a chump, Shout a little louder so you buy that bunk
It’s the law – Law of the Jungle
When the wall crumbles the shadows all tumble
It’s the law – Law of the Jungle
Only the strong survive
Running a race wanna pick up the pace, The man on the take always wins first place
You bump and grind chasing nickels and dimes, Comin’ up short workin’ overtime
It’s the law – Law of the Jungle
Now how the proud on top stumble, The crowd below rumble
It’s the law – Law of the Jungle
Only the strong survive
Asleep while you’re awake, Living in a deep state
Mind and body raped, In political embrace a hypocritical disgrace
Only People Power makes freedom safe
It’s the law – Law of the Jungle
Wrong is right, Only the strong survive
“AWAKENING”
The other day, I woke up cryin’
So sad to say….goodbye
“SUN”
Sharing the Sun up in the sky
Staring too close can hurt your eye
Might see the Light
Power of Life
Such a big ocean far and wide
Ebbs and flows from low to high
Tap the rising tide
Power of Life
She holds you close
Only Mother Nature knows
How to show the way
So we can stay
Listen to her
She’ll provide the answer
It’s there to find
Try treating her kind
Every which way the wind blows there
A globe that is turning everywhere
From day to night
And so warm inside
We would be Free
Sharing the sun up in the sky
Aware of a Moon that shines so bright
We can see the Light
Power of Life
