Good Time 03:45
lyrics

Hello, what's going on? I'm speaking to you in the form of song To let you know that you belong For we're all just trying to have a good time So what's your name? Where are you from? Well, welcome to my home You see it's simple, we all just want To be able to have a good time But the politicians make war While the rest of us wonder what we're fighting for As the rich shield themselves with the poor When we could just be having a good time And the church and the state Have both been corrupted by hate We must remove the barriers that separate The people from having a good time And fear only gets power When people find that life's so sour That all their hopes have been devoured And they no longer can have a good time And no matter the gender or the race We're all looking for the same things We want love, liberty, and to feel safe And to be able to have a good time And you must know it's going to be ok There's no need to feel afraid We are all children of God And God can be whatever you claim And you must know it's going to be ok There's no need to feel afraid We are all children of God And God can be whatever you claim

Oh Great Spirit God I've come to talk to you Oh Great Spirit God Can you tell me if what they say is true, that you give Love in the morning Love in the evening Love in the afternoon and at night And I want to know you It's been too long without you How did I live before without You in my life and without Love in the morning Love in the evening Love in the afternoon and at night Love in the morning Love in the evening Love in the afternoon and at night And there's an exodus coming And so we must be going There's a need, there's a want, There's a hope, and it goes There's a will, standing still It could be such a thrill with la la la la la la la la la love, it's the only way la la la la la la la la la love, in my life every day la la la la la la la la la love, it's the only way la la la la la la la la la love, in my life every day Love in the morning Love in the evening Love in the afternoon and at night Love in the morning Love in the evening Love in the afternoon and at night

To Understand 04:59
lyrics
buy track
Our days of desperation are numbered This spirit prophet spoke to me between the lines of a dream But I found my way out of that slumber Floating through the mystery into the great infinity Sometimes one must fall in order to understand That if you want to make God laugh, tell them your plans Sometimes one must fall in order to understand If you want to live in the light, you must know the darkness Now once again I find I'm tracing the steps of the ancients And naturally I've arrived to this crossroads of humanity Discovering avenues of love and hate and patience Discovering freedom and those that think they're free Sometimes one must fall in order to understand That if you want to make God laugh, tell them your plans Sometimes one must fall in order to understand If you want to live in the light, you must know the darkness I thought my will was thy will, I thought my path divine But the path that I took Was made by the footprints left behind And I studied the scriptures With context in mind For every culture to discover God and music Is only a matter of time Sometimes one must fall in order to understand That if you want to make God laugh, tell them your plans Sometimes one must fall in order to understand If you want to live in the light, you must know the darkness

21st Century Prayer 04:31
lyrics

This is my 21st century prayer You might not agree, but I don't care For the thrones of power are meant to be shared No life is worth more than another, it's not radical to declare And I pray we may be wise enough to see the light I know some folks are dim, but you don't have to be that bright To see we all suffer in a system that eats us from the insides But it doesn't have to be this way, we just gotta unite and organize Singin', this is my 21st Century Prayer You might not agree, but I don't care Oh I just want a future where we all can breathe the air And not have to kill or die in someone else's affairs, yeah And we should have the right to a quality standard of living And be raised in a society with a quality standard of living For there's so much money, yet so many people are starving Yet I met millionaires when I was homeless who had nothing but words for me Singin', this is my 21st Century Prayer And it could be yours too if you're not too scared When revolution comes, oh will you be prepared? This is my 21st Century Prayer

The Most Likely To Succeed 05:09
lyrics
buy track
Why must we suffer? Why must we suffer so unnecessarily Just to try to get to the same place That other people started from We all see them inheriting their success It's the birth lottery of the capitalist Do they think we can't see it's all phony? It's just a game of life under an archaic philosophy Oh guess who always wins Oh guess who always, always is The most likely to succeed It's whoever stands to inherit the same things Why must we suffer? Why must we suffer so unnecessarily Just to try to get to the same place That other people started from Doesn't matter if it's the richest man in the world Or some rich folk you've known for awhile They're not out to help you or make things fair When the rigged game we've all been forced to play is theirs But I believe in equality Which means a classless society Instead we let our homeless die on the streets As the rich roll past in limousines Whether they're taking a cruise down inheritance canyon Or to their floating castles up in outer space It is their greed and excess destroying our planet As the rest of us are left to waste Why must we suffer? Why must we suffer so unnecessarily Just to try to get to the same place That other people started from Why must we suffer? Why must we suffer so unnecessarily Just to try to get to the same place That other people started from

What Does It Mean To Be Human? 05:16
lyrics
buy track
I'm tracing back through history Through all the glory and atrocity The fame and fortune and misery And all else considered noteworthy Wondering how we arrived to this set of beliefs That some should starve while others are kings That life should lose value in anonymity That we should gather around in our philosophizing What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be human? Well the church bells are ringing for those who are listening As a handful of people own as much as half of humanity And our generation plans for the doom of their creating But we're too worked to death to do anything Still we're endlessly advertised to as if we have money But it went to rent and student loans and bonuses for the thieves Now having death as a retirement plan out of necessity And all the while I'm sitting here wondering What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be human? Well, I've traveled a bit so I have a bit to compare I've experienced freedom and prison and what is and isn't fair Becoming wise enough to see strategy of nefarious affairs While noting the actors and the who what's and where Asking, "what is distraction and what is truth?" Will it make me older and wiser or just rob me of my youth? Will it facilitate and agenda that's beyond my command While claiming its source of divinity and according to plan What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be human? And we have all of the technology that we need to have utopia So utopia now And we have all of the technology that we need to have utopia So utopia now And we have all of the technology that we need to have utopia So utopia now And we have all of the technology that we need to have utopia So utopia now What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be human?

Follow Your Dreams 03:55
lyrics
buy track
When your worldview is shattered And then you start to see the patterns Of how it's always been but was never meant to be Well last night my mother said she had a dream She said I died and that she grieved But I'm very much alive and I believe You got to follow your dreams and don't let your nightmares follow you You got to follow your dreams You got to follow your dreams You got to follow your dreams and don't let your nightmares follow you Now I was practicing my devotion When I suddenly got the notion That it sounded better with a little distortion anyway And let me tell you, I had my doubts I had my downs and I had my outs But then I finally figured what it's all about You got to follow your dreams and don't let your nightmares follow you You got to follow your dreams You got to follow your dreams You got to follow your dreams and don't let your nightmares follow you And a curious mind is an educated mind And a curious mind is an educated mind And a curious mind is an educated mind And a curious mind is an educated mind You got to follow your dreams You got to follow your dreams You got to follow your dreams You got to follow your dreams
