Citizens For A Hard Work Free Society



I tell you, it's amazing
You're so lazy
Don't want to give it
What you got
What you've got is nothing
It's nothing

But that won't phase me
I'm not the one going crazy
Trying to keep up
With what they bought
'cause what they bought
Is nothing... it's nothing

Listen citizen babies
Society of daisies
Hard work has made me
What I'm not
A free and righteous robot
And roaming...

Question

Early post... this week we're having a short-song double-whammy. Stay tuned!



I heard the sound of a question
Reaching for the other side
Of noise and tar
Trying a mischievous
Joke in possession
Declining every offer
To flame the spark since gone

Lean on my stripes and spots
Ask the question
Drag the cross
Beside a trusted to find
Be my guest just
Ignore any signs

(That is way off!)

One's been accused and arrested
Another's going to win the
Pillow plumber prize
Unless a drop from the roof top
Kills this rhyme, then
We'll hafta let funeral flowers decide

Take the sickle
Bring the cycle
To an end

Break the circle

Let the hypocrites dress you
For your own party

Only Now



Ready for the kiss of the giraffes
G                  A
They were standing in the halls
           E
As if they weren't too tall
G
That's not their fault

Bmsus               Am
Yes, you have to do something
       Em                 A
If you want to feel better
              E
The world is waiting

Arms crossed
  G
A foot tapping the ground
A         E
It's only now
     G
It's only now

Bm          Am                 Em
Just when I thought that I was done
          A
They were singing "you have to
E               G
start all over again"
A              E
I don't listen to these men
G              Bm
This time I'm moving on

Am          Em
Even being alone
Bm              Am
You will always be remembered
    Em
For trees and flowers
Bm
Ships that sailed
   Am
Beyond these walls
   Em
To waterfalls
      A
Where we run out of
E
Things to say and 
G
Live for the moment

Bm                  Am
Yes, you have to do something
            Em
If you want life to be better
A                  E
You can't help but paint
          G
The world sweet and sour

Bm                  Am
Yes, you have to do something
       Em                 A
If you want to feel better
             E
The world is waiting

Arms crossed
G
A foot tapping the ground
A         E
It's only now…
G      Bm
Only now
Am Em A E G Bm Am Em
            (fade)

Spiraling



When you feel down
Think of this spiral galaxy
You're in now
And you're spinning
Round and round
And round and round
It never ends despite this desperation

If the sun doesn't make it hot
It's just a bright dot
In your home spot
Another wave that says

Yohoo! Here I am!
You who? Here I am!

When you feel small
Ask what's this subatomic
Junk I never realized
Was here before

And it keeps jumping
Up and down and up and down
Up and down and up and down
It's never found
Drag you in
Don't have a cow
But look around
If time ever bends, it waves
