magic eight ball
Etienne, Etienne, what do you see?
Who we are and how we’ll be
Will we cleanse in the rain or drown in the water?
Will we have peace or will we have slaughter?
Etienne, Etienne, what do you know?
Tell me which way that the wind gon’ blow
Etienne, Etienne, can you make a late call?
Tell me what you see in yer magic eight ball
Are we on the edge of a gilded age?
Or are we just trapped in a gilded cage?
Will we last long or are we almost done?
Will we rise to the moon or burn in the sun?
Etienne, Etienne, what do you know?
Tell me which way that the wind gon’ blow
Etienne, Etienne, can you make a late call?
Tell me what you see in yer magic eight ball
Every day, somethin’ new, everybody dyin’
The priests and the politicians just keep lyin’
Big pharma fat cats laughin’ at the big joke
Ain’t nothin’ but a system rigged for the rich folk
Etienne, Etienne, what do you know?
Tell me which way that the wind gon’ blow
Etienne, Etienne, can you make a late call?
Tell me what you see in yer magic eight ball
What will we keep, and what will we abandon?
When the die is cast, who gon’ be left standin’?
What come after death, and what come before birth?
Will it really be the meek that inherit the whole earth?
Etienne, Etienne, what do you know?
Tell me which way that the wind gon’ blow
Etienne, Etienne, can you make a late call?
Tell me what you see in yer magic eight ball

If the biscuit is round, you got a Nabisco

If it’s four on the floor, then you must be playin’ disco
Mama’s little baby love shortenin’ bread, better get yerself some Crisco
Some folks dig Michoacán, but I dig Jalisco 2x
Mama’s little baby love shortenin’ bread, better get yerself some Crisco
Mama’s little baby love shortenin’ bread, shortenin’ bread, shortenin’ bread
Mama’s little baby love shortenin’ bread, and the belly is where the bliss go

transgentrified
Tried to come around, to the tender side
Tried to come around, to the tender side
But baby, you know your part of town been transgentrified
Went and called a cab, couldn’t give directions if I tried
Went and called a cab, couldn’t give directions if I tried
I used to know my way around, but it’s been transgentrified
There’s still a struggle on the street, but they sellin’ it on the side
There’s still a struggle on the street, but they sellin’ it on the side
I used to know this part of town, but it’s been transgentrified
Tried to ask you where you lived, but I do believe you lied
Tried to ask you where you lived, but I do believe you lied
You know I used to know this part of town, but it’s been transgentrified
I used to live above this block, but there ain’t no more underside
I used to live above this block, but there ain’t no more underside
I used to know this part of town, but it’s been transgentrified

Riddle Me This

riddle me this
I was born in a iowa hut
In the ice cold belly of the winter
My daddy scrapin ice off the inside of the walls
With a bent old windshield wiper
Life is a riddle
With a clue in the middle
And a hint or two right down the line
And you don’t want to miss
The final plot twist
It’s guaranteed to blow your mind
Every year it was another new town
The last one fadin’ in the tailight
I learned to read from a sears catalog
Under the covers with a battery flashlight
Life is a riddle
With a clue in the middle
And a hint or two right down the line
And you don’t want to miss
The final plot twist
It’s guaranteed to blow your mind
I was growin’ up strong, and I was feelin’ my song
and I was tryin’ hard to grow up faster
I got in my first band, and I tried to make my stand
With a beat up old Telecaster
Life is a riddle
With a clue in the middle
And a hint or two right down the line
And you don’t want to miss
The final plot twist
It’s guaranteed to blow your mind
i been down, so many long roads
A million stickers stuck in my scrapbook
A million tales from a million miles
All scribbled in my moleskine notebook
Life is a riddle
With a clue in the middle
And a hint or two right down the line
And you don’t want to miss
The final plot twist
It’s guaranteed to blow your mind

blues for carpo’s
Man, i’m lookin’ at the stop sign, south of Market
Seen a cop comin’ up, I got to park it
Baby, baby, baby now, honey, show me your car pose
Cuz we goin’ out tonight, baby, I’m takin’ you to Carpo’s
Baby, I’m no astronomer, but I look lookin’ at the sky
And I’m trainin’ my lens and I’m given’ you the eye
Baby, baby, baby now, honey, show me your star pose
Cuz we goin’ out tonight, baby, I’m takin’ you to Carpo’s
We’ll dig a little music and shake up the place
You fingerpick the melody and I’ll thumb the bass
Baby, baby, baby now, honey, show me your guitar pose
Cuz we goin’ out tonight, baby, I’m takin’ you to Carpo’s
Let’s have a drink first, before we dine
Maybe a bottle in bond or some old moonshine
Baby, baby, baby now, honey, show me your jar pose
Cuz we goin’ out tonight, baby, I’m takin’ you to Carpo’s
I ain’t no astronomer, but I know the night sky
You’re a beacon in the dark for this ol’ sailor to sight by
Baby, baby, baby now, honey, show me your star pose
Cuz we goin’ out tonight, baby, I’m takin’ you to Carpo’s

Raise Your Hand

raise your hand
With my Flying V, and a Peavey
And a platform to move on
I’m gon’ make the changes easy
With 12 bars to groove on
Raise your hand
Let your fist stand strong
And let the band
Let the band play on
Dollar signs, and picket lines
On a highway to hell
In the pines, in the pines,
I’m a rebel, so I rebel
Raise your hand
Let your fist stand strong
And let the band
Let the band play on
A power trio, to fight the power
The revolution that you came for
Comes a time, strike the hour
This is the moment we were trained for
Raise your hand
Let your fist stand strong
And let the band
Let the band play on

ichabod crane
I got a ghost story, runnin’ ‘round my brain
I got a ghost story, runnin’ ‘round my brain
Wish I never seen Sleepy Hollow, said Ichabod Crane
The wind is blowin’ cold, and I believe I seen somethin’ strange
The wind is blowin’ cold, and I believe I seen somethin’ strange
Wish I never seen Sleepy Hollow, said Ichabod Crane
Ain’t got no head, got a pumpkin where it’s ‘posed to be
I done come to Sleepy Hollow, now, the horseman is comin’ after me
Ain’t got no head, got a pumpkin where it’s ‘posed to be
I done come to Sleepy Hollow, now, the horseman is comin’ after me
I hear sounds from the graveyard, like a draggin’ ball and chain
I hear sounds from the graveyard, like a draggin’ ball and chain
Wish I never seen Sleepy Hollow, said Ichabod Crane
I don’t want to cross the bridge at the swamp in the fog and the rain
I don’t want to cross the bridge at the swamp in the fog and the rain
Don’t wanna meet no headless horseman, said Ichabod Crane
Ain’t got no head, got a pumpkin where it’s ‘posed to be
I done come to Sleepy Hollow, now, the horseman is comin’ after me
Ain’t got no head, got a pumpkin where it’s ‘posed to be
I done come to Sleepy Hollow, now, the horseman is comin’ after me
Ridin’ for my life, got that pumpkin hurtlin’ at me, all in flames
Ridin’ for my life, got that pumpkin hurtlin’ at me, all in flames
Wish I never seen Sleepy Hollow, said Ichabod Crane
In the graveyard there’s a stone, and on it, there’s my name
In the graveyard there’s a stone, and on it, there’s my name
In the town of sleepy hollow, here lies Ichabod Crane

Twin Exhaust Fascination

twin exhaust fascination
Got my girl in the passenger seat
I said, girl, we’re racing in the street
With the flag, comin’ down
Let me rev, listen to the sound
Yeah, buddy, we racin’ in the street
Just need someone that we can beat
I need a chump in a pacer
Black smoke from the carburetor
I got the fastest camaro in the nation
I got a twin exhaust fascination
I got the fastest car you ever seen
We got time to stop at the dairy queen
A&W, in my big boat
Get you a root beer float
And then we rollin’, where we facin’
And then we’re ballin’, cuz we’re racin’
Dad’s are hollerin’ about their daughters
And i’m ballin’ my speedometer
I got the fastest camaro in the nation
I got a twin exhaust fascination
They talkin’ ‘bout me in the neighborhood
They all say this boy been drivin’ good
Put me behind the big wheel
White walls, and the big squeal
Way i spend, i’m payin’ rent and vacation
For the cats at the gas station
Pop a can, mello yello or fresca
I got sauce, like puttanesca
I got the fastest camaro in the nation
I got a twin exhaust fascination
Was a time, i dug some speed metal
Got metallica on and my foot on the pedal
Put the pedal down, and i’m speedin’
Got anthrax on, and i’m leadin
In the race, and it’s anthrax
And public enemy, and it’s on wax
How low can i go
I don’t know, it takes a nation
I got the fastest camaro in the nation
I got a twin exhaust fascination
If i said i never listened to rap i’d be a liar
Sucker mc’s can call me sire
My hoopty, my white wall
You at the roadside, tryin’ to look tall
But you’re too short, or maybe eazy
Front seat big enough to play parcheesi
Vinyl seat, in the sun it’s burnin hot
Speakers bumpin’ to sir mixalot
I got the fastest camaro in the nation
I got a twin exhaust fascination
Didn’t care about school, or my grades
Tried to put my hair in a high-top fade
Still listenin’ to rap, and to the hip-hop
But then i realized, this has gotta stop
Put my hand on my fake chrome radio
Because i realized that i gotta go
Right back to the AM bandwidth
Stop at Shell, get a sandwich
I got the fastest camaro in the nation
I got a twin exhaust fascination
In the flare legs, in a cowboy hat
In the 70's, man, that's where it's at
I want to hear that 3-guitar attack
I want Lynyrd Skynyrd to come back
Stevie Wonder, Innervisions
I wanna attend that studio session
I wanna hear it, don't wanna get bored
I want a song that's got 4 clavichords
I got the fastest camaro in the nation
I got a twin exhaust fascination
Remember when Prince rode the purple hondamatic?
And everybody wearin’ their members only jackets?
Whatever happened to morris day
O-e-o-e-o, that’s what they all say
All he was doin’ was carryin’ on
The p-funk tradition, so it didn’t get gone
Drive a little red corvette in the purple rain
And i’m insane in the membrane
I got the fastest camaro in the nation
I got a twin exhaust fascination
Whatever happened to molly hatchet?
Their star burned bright but no one could catch it
They were southern and a little bit gothic
The star fell, and i caught it
Nobody ever knew what they was after
But they was flirtin with disaster
Drive fast and you get what you deserve
Jan and Dean on dead man’s curve
I got the fastest camaro in the nation
I got a twin exhaust fascination
