There’s a city in flames, a flag on fire, streets are occupied
Nations rage, war is waged, and access is denied
Folks are freaking out, they act deranged
There’s people speaking out and seeking change
Back at home I make it pay one day at a time
Hardly fazed, slightly crazed, amazed at what I find
Like it’s all prearranged and meant to be
You think I’m acting strange, well you know me
I’m alive and awakening
I arrive at the Reckoning
There’s those who do, those who don’t and those who dress to dance
Some who have, some have not and some don’t have a chance
In dark disparity the whole world can see
A stark reality, they die to be free
Now face the need, the waste and greed, a half full or half empty cup Declare what's there, fair and square and prepare to tally up
Time is ticking down, we want to hear who’s next
Will we be sticking around, will there be nothing left
I’m alive and awakening
I arrive at the Reckoning
We revive to a beckoning
Who’ll survive the Reckoning

War Of Words
05:16
|

We agreed to disagree, I concede I only need to be free
You perceived my need as greed
I changed my plea but received the third degree
I couldn’t see I’d been deceived
Should have seen you never believed in me
You can’t rely on what’s been said or what you’ve heard
It’s all a War Of Words
You always argue short and long, you’re so head strong and I’m wrong
Find someone who cares
Stretch the truth to prove your point
Bend the rules with some phrase you coin, so unfair
Twist and turn my meaning around
Wear my resistance down now that’s nowhere
You can’t rely on what’s been said or what you’ve heard
It’s all a War Of Words (Cold War)
Well I guess I get what I’m gunning for
But I don’t deserve what you’ve done for sure
Someday someone will settle the score
All that’s left of love is cold war
So tell those lies through your sly disguise, misguiding eyes aren’t shy
Why am I not surprised?
Intimidate anyone who tries, insinuate you’ll leave us high and dry
Every trial of trust that’s lost is just because you lust to see men cry
So don’t rely on what’s been said or what you’ve heard
It’s all a War Of Words (Cold War)
You can’t rely on what’s been said or what you’ve heard
It’s all a War Of Words (Cold War)

Pixelated Man

Pixelated Man depicted as you planned
Digitized and Dramatized
Optimized and Polarized
Glamorized with shaded eyes you stand
Desolation dude, all depends on what you do
Authorized and Analyzed
Legalized, Legitimized
Tell no lies you’re Trusted Tried & True
Pixelated Man
Pixelated Man there’s a problem with the plan
Commercialized and Criticized
Compromised and Patronized
Plagiarized there’s payback on demand
Cryptomnesia band, no one understands
Itemized and Idolized
Scrutinized and Satirized
Neutralized who knows how hard you’ll land
Pixelated Man
He Doesn’t Fret It, He’s Intentional, It’s Not His Fault

Big Man In Town

Composer/Author: Bob Gaudio
Each day as I grow older
The nights are getting colder
Some day the sun will shine on me
Money, I don't have any
I'm down to my last penny
But darlin' don't cry over me
I'll be a big man in town, honest honey
I'll be a big man in town, promise darling
I'll be a big man in town, just you wait and see
You'll be proud of me - Big Man In Town
They think that I'm a rover
But my rovin' days are over
Some day your folks will welcome me
I went away a small man
But I’m coming home a tall man
Then what a pretty bride you'll be
I'm gonna make it, just wait and see

Storms Of Life
03:39

Well I’ve done more living in half the time
Than twice as many driven to have what’s mine
And I wouldn’t omit a minute of it for a bit of what’s on their minds
Yes I’ve seen less giving at the end of the day
I’m not afraid to admit or too proud to say
That I’m living my life how I see fit and wouldn’t have it any other way
But the Storms of Life like a razor’s edge
Can cut you down and strand you on a ledge
They pierce your heart and let you bleed and leave you nowhere to go
The Storms of Life like a nine pound sledge
Will beat you down and then drive a wedge
Into your soul and destroy your pride doubting everything you know
Storms of Life
Well there’s so much sorrow out on display
It’s a sad tomorrow when there’s nothing to say
Time stands still while you’re waiting there
You wish there was another way
Now I’m not confessing any selfless shame
There’s no concession when no one’s to blame
I’m done digressing let’s get on with it and end this gruesome game
The Storms of Life like a tightening vice
Can crush your spirit at a costly price
You wait bewildered wondering where to turn
And you can’t tell wrong from right
Ya the Storms of Life leave you cold as ice
Where the way is wide and your words concise
You stand and shiver in the freezing rain, there’s no hope left in sight
Storms of Life
Someday sister when it’s all been said
I’m gonna step aside and sleep it off instead
Satisfied with what lies ahead and the truth in the life I’ve lead
One day brother when I’ve made my bed
I’m gonna lay back in it and rest my head
Justified in the trials I’ve had by the trail of light I’ve shed
Now we’ve all known suffering and we wonder why
If He’s a God of love why would He make us cry and
Permit this pain instead of stepping in and just being a real good guy?
Do we each deserve our specific fate?
Either love or hate, it’s an endless debate
We’re all just dealing with how to relate, the next move we should make

There’s so many choices they’re selling me everyday
I hear too many voices telling me what to say
No one else rejoices, it’s compelling but I won’t be swayed
Options to select, Opinions that object, Obsessions I won’t obey
I get all kinds of offers that propose what I should use
They’re just like all the others, I suppose I’ll have to choose
I can’t compromise the coffers, I’m composed but I’m confused
Decisions I regret, Directions I reject, Diversions I don’t refuse
This That These & Those, things we think we know
This That These & Those, a relentless river flows
It’s an endless show, it seldom slows, a senseless pretence grows
This That These & Those
Every time I turn around there’s something somebody owes
Everywhere it’s the same old sound, someone needs a loan
Everything that’s going down somehow brings me home
Conditions to be met, commitments I neglect, compulsions I can’t control
Well there’s self help, EZ wealth, a formula for real health
Miracle ways to heal
Fast track, deck stacked, guaranteed money back
Show me now what’s the deal?
Who do I think I am when I walk into a crowd
An imaginary man, who always talks too loud
Is it me or who I mean to be, is my head in a cloud?
It’s how I move, the way I groove, that proves I’m not too proud

I’m driving, I’m surviving, I’m feeling alive
I’m thriving, I’m just striving to do it right
It’s sunny, I’ve got money, I’m not running behind
It’s funny, I’m not wondering why
Easy Rolling, moonlight stroll
Easy Rolling, free my soul

Songwriters Circle

If tomorrow never comes or yesterday don’t fade away
There would still be here and now
And dreams to dance another day
If forever ever ends or the past could just begin
I’d be lost in time with you and leave it all behind again
Like a Songwriters Circle
Those lines keep coming strong and fast
I won’t ride into the sun
Watch it all just come undone
Til no one cares and none of this is fun
Like a Songwriters Circle
The words we use don’t seem to last
I might stay another day
Say something I have to say
Or maybe sing my song and then be on my way
Now I forgot most of what I know, don’t understand all that I do
But I remember why I’d go to feel alive and be with you
Well the words of love are many
Though the thoughts of loss are few
Now regrets I don’t have any and deep regards I have for you
There’s a Bridge Over Troubled Water
And a Stairway To Heaven too
Mary Lou is the Farmer’s Daughter
And I’m Hopelessly Devoted To You
Feels like sitting on a teeter totter
Sixteen Tons on the other end
Sometimes I wonder why I bother
And I’m still running Against The Wind
Now my best I can’t recall, the worst is still hard to forget
But if I’d never even tried how would I know how far I’d get
Seems I’m so far from the top but when I stop and look around
I might be tired of facing up but more afraid of falling down
Like a Songwriters Circle
Those lines keep coming strong and fast
I won’t sail into the west, satisfied I passed the test
Then some guest yells ‘at least you did your best’
In that Songwriters Circle
And words we chose All Things Must Pass
I might stay another day
Say something I have to say
Or maybe sing my song and just be on my way

It’s a long, long way to the other side
To forget our fears and the times we cried
To release the pain and the pride that we hide inside
Someday tears will all be dried
The taste of hunger satisfied
The chains on freedom broken and untied
We’ll leave this space for a better place
Lose despair without a trace
Grow in grace with faith in the human race
We’ll see our hopes and our dreams come true
Dwell in peace like we’re meant to do
Live in harmony me and you
Someday it’ll all work out
Well we try so hard to do what’s right
Be on guard and fight the good fight
But when days are dark, you can’t see the light
If we seek the truth we can find the Way
Heal our hearts and be okay
Keep the faith and not fall away
When we learn to love our fellow man
Take the time to understand
Share the wealth and not make demands
We can conquer strife, it’ll disappear
Honour life that we hold so dear
Dispel the darkness, let it all come clear
