Remember me when I met you back in Chicago?
Filthy bum (twenty plus some) with an old platitude
"Mending fences or mending souls"
That was all you had to say
But fate was fair my friend
Now it's your turn to walk in my place

Tell me how's the view from down there-

From Madagascar to Mozambique
Washington to Oman
The drums of war still beat

Business was booming
Now your stocks in the can
because New York City
was the promised land

Conflict of culture
Open season on the free world
Now it's North Korea

Back in '61 to '65, their indifferences,
Could never hide the buried hopes
Of peace/that rest beneath them wearing
Grey or blue.
Did the burning of white mansions still
The fire inside their hearts to kill
Each other? The memories that lie where ash remains.

[Instrumental]

When your mind stays awake and your body cries for sleep
Disillusioned from the pain you're in way too deep.
As the chains bind your soul and the sweat takes its toll
Don't submit to addiction - can't escape the whole world.
You're just looking for something - you can't find

I've seen enough

of this thing at work called cynicism
And I'm tired of hearing twisted thoughts
with bent expressions
I see no reason to be brother's keeper
'cause at this point
all I need is something more

In fact, this could be hard for me
it could

[Instrumental]

Overplayed and understated
Maximized and underrated
Overdrawn and overstated
What about the truth -what about it?

Minimized, overemphasized
Exaggerated just to dramatize
There's a whole lot more than fame here
And a whole lot more to money

Ok, I've mad

Part I. "Youthful Enthusiasm" (instrumental)

Part II. "Psych 101"

Well a bad day fishin' is better than a good day at work
But a bad day in paradise is a bad deal
Let's say goodbye before we've ever met
You're alone on the shore of cranium reef

The Solano County Engineering Archives, vault 1

Feel free, write your scathing indictment
Pick us apart with your joke of a pen
Pacified poet, standing alone you know it
I hear you preaching:
"Do it again - won't you please do it again?"

Plenty of time - hear th

We're living proof of these uncertain times
Lost all our money and we've done our time
I've got no answers-only questions now
No point in starting over
Does no good anyhow.

I'm not a critic and I'm not a friend
Coming to terms or coming to an end?

I am your high priest of selling
And I've got your sainthood covered - again
I am a quick-change artist - at least
But don't you forget I'm an instrument of good
Your doctor

Bullet proof alibis - I'm your doctor
Social butterflies - I'm your doctor
I'll bring

"These are my last words, their treasonous hands
have us all under siege, now do you understand?"
Gossens ministers - all at hand
will take up final stations
as the coup hunts a single man
No offer of exile did he take in his last trial...

Covert action - Santiago

Dredging the world of memory
Dank and dirty as darkness descends
I can not see the moon tonight
There's a mist upon the land - and it doesn't feel right

Hush my child, I'll give you a clue -
Be careful young friend
The keeper is a prisoner too

Well, I went with th

Evangelists - praise the divine
Cardinals - shift on the mainline
Cause and effect - rule at the same time
Absolution stopped - right at the bloodline

Heretics scream - "no prophets"
Zealots all walk a gauntlet
Spread the word - drink from the goblet

(Verse 1)

Drowning on land - howlin' at the moon
I am a neo native
Levees gone - Tribal storms
floods hide this legacy
Sacrifice coming
Black clouds bring the wind
rush to the higher ground
Native born -I have soared
Nature's fury cries a tear
