Judgment Day
I'm scared of God's anger
Paralyzed by fear
I have not put closure to my sins
But the closure of my life is near
Nothing is finalized
How am I going to be analyzed
Is God closing a book that is still being written
Is my unclarified past to be penalized
I don't know the use of reproof
No man is capable of following the Truth
Especially those
Still in the bloom of youth
Battered Beauty
I rode my bike to see my love one sunny day
And saw a ground and shoved flower along the way
I stopped over to inspect the battered beauty
Tattered and worn but still triumphed over artificial adversity
Stern stemmed and resolute retaining its purity
After a journey of well worth its length
I greeted my love with the symbol of inner strength
But the flower was too comely and she was blind to its beauty
And so I left because it was a rejection of me
God's Love
From the trampled to the weak
From the stumbled to the meek
Jehovah loves us all
Even when we fall
And gives us the peace we seek
He shows happiness is a long hard road
But he'll help us carry the load
As long as we don't follow the masser crowd
And we ain't too proud
To ask him to carry the load

Religion, Economy, Politics
At any church you'll find on sale the flag and the cross
That gives the clergy and politicians more gross
As they establish themselves as the boss
While the poor march into war and get their lives loss
Neil Young is too sacred for cheesy merchandise
But you can buy a Jesus fish at a low price
TV evangelists speak of God being up in heaven so far away
But send them some money and God will come on pay
Of course none of this is true
God is close to all of you
Regardless of race or wealth
God helps everyone's spiritual health
Black Alley Cat
Black alley cat trying to raise a litter
The father ran off leaving the kittens to her
She lives worse than all alone
She's lonely with responsibilities beyond her own
All the little kids pet the poor alley cat
But condescendingly wash their hands after that
She'd like to be able to go to the vet
But she doesn't want to live as somebody's pet
She purrs in the stranger's laps
Trying to bring her family scraps
If a lonely house could take in the whole kin
She and her litter could move out of the trash bin
Misinterpret
Don't misinterpret
The message you don't get
Even if you can't relate
The message is not on debate
What's said is said
What's read is read
You can twist it and turn it every which way
You can say anything about it you want to say
Only the artist can define his art
The only one who's seen it from the start
So all the more you point to blame
The more you should feel the shame
At any church you'll find on sale the flag and the cross
That gives the clergy and politicians more gross
As they establish themselves as the boss
While the poor march into war and get their lives loss
Neil Young is too sacred for cheesy merchandise
But you can buy a Jesus fish at a low price
TV evangelists speak of God being up in heaven so far away
But send them some money and God will come on pay
Of course none of this is true
God is close to all of you
Regardless of race or wealth
God helps everyone's spiritual health

War Fever
Where are you going my dear friend
Will I see you when the war will end
Well your number came up
And you haven't lived life up
And now you left to die in the army
So now this might be the last time you see me
Why can't the human population
Live in harmony with the Earth's creation
War is like a fever going way too high
If you get in it you will surely die
If you see it too close you'll wonder why
You'll have to cure it before you cry
Now I know you heard this question before
But what is war good for
If death and famine is all it will bring
Then it ain't good for anything
So here's to you Mr United Nations
Filling the world with complications
Going on the street selling knives and guns
Glorifying violence to the little ones
War is like a fever going way too high
If you get in it you will surely die
If you see it too close you'll wonder why
You'll have to cure it before you cry
Now the war has long came to a victorious end
And I still have not seen my good friend
I got a wife while he died in the army
But if one life is lost is it a true victory
Well here I stand against all forms of violence
It is all to me nothing but nonsense
The dead you killed can't see what you view
The cost is great and the changes are few
War is like a fever going way too high
If you get in it you will surely die
If you see it too close you'll wonder why
You'll have to cure it before you cry
Free Love
So here I am free at last
No more worries from my past
I am finally going to fly free
And I want you my love to fly with me
No more walls to block me or you
Our life is now pure, fresh and new
We can use our love to build this new life
So will you be my loving caring wife
Here we go in the world's danger zone
We won't have to worry we won't be alone
We don't have a reason to worry
I am with you and you will be with me
We'll buy a home and make a modest living
We will settle with what we have been giving
But we can ride over the stormy seas
We can ride through them with ease
After all these years have past
When no one said our love would last
Well we made it to the end
We proved our love was more than a trend
We have finally made it
We are the perfect fit
If I could do it all over again
I would not have change our love story's end
Ode To My Love III
A tender kindred spirit so free
With a sense of wit and sparkling personality
And charm that lingers in the air
And her kindness flowing everywhere
What can I do to show her I care
To show I'll always be there
Each day I need her more and more
And I keep trying to deserve her
Where are you going my dear friend
Will I see you when the war will end
Well your number came up
And you haven't lived life up
And now you left to die in the army
So now this might be the last time you see me
Why can't the human population
Live in harmony with the Earth's creation
War is like a fever going way too high
If you get in it you will surely die
If you see it too close you'll wonder why
You'll have to cure it before you cry
Now I know you heard this question before
But what is war good for
If death and famine is all it will bring
Then it ain't good for anything
So here's to you Mr United Nations
Filling the world with complications
Going on the street selling knives and guns
Glorifying violence to the little ones
War is like a fever going way too high
If you get in it you will surely die
If you see it too close you'll wonder why
You'll have to cure it before you cry
Now the war has long came to a victorious end
And I still have not seen my good friend
I got a wife while he died in the army
But if one life is lost is it a true victory
Well here I stand against all forms of violence
It is all to me nothing but nonsense
The dead you killed can't see what you view
The cost is great and the changes are few
War is like a fever going way too high
If you get in it you will surely die
If you see it too close you'll wonder why
You'll have to cure it before you cry

No Offense Taken "School Attendence"
(Small suburban town)
Voice Over: (sinister) Today in suburban America there is a menace to society, a threat to our very existence, a risk to our very way of life, a hazard so dangerous that my wasting of your time with this inane build up is simply putting you at greater risk. This (slows down confusedly) dangerously menacing risky hazardous threatening thing is happening right as we speak. It is TRUANCY. Yes everyday dozens of hundreds of kids are skipping school to go do as they please at the many other (sales pitch voice) wonders that are Suburban American. The gas station, the supermarket, the library, the park, the donut shop, the police station. All of which are walking distance of the safe white community with low 19% city tax (lower tone) plus 15% school tax (sales pitch voice) so if you would like to live in this peaceful, uneventful, politely distant and stuck-up place of status quo heaven please call Whitey Real Estate Homes Inc (normal) sorry back to the main subject (in subtitles) that previous advertisement brought to you by Whitey Real Estate Home Inc Anyway this hundreds of thousands of kids are out walking the streets without the proper permits as instructed by City Counsel under police ordinance and the Municipal Constitution page five paragraph three prohibiting all non motor transportation without a permit. What's more these kids are depriving themselves of the finest education the government can censure I mean money can buy. The snack machines in the hall practically pay for themselves after thirty years. But the public need not worry about the truancy because as always the authorities never bring up a problem without having a real half-ass solution. As we know there are too many people in public prisons so arresting these juvenile delinquents would not suffice, well actually that wouldn't matter because we like shoving as many people as we can into prisons and watch as the prison guards and the prisoners themselves go on gang wars, shooting and stabbing until one prisoner is remaining who can enjoy our state paid gyms and color tvs luxuriously free of any gang beatings or anal rape. But we decided not to put the children there for the simple fun of our next brainstorming idea. We decided to let all the sex criminals especially the pedophiles out of jail free to roam the suburban streets to do as they please without fear of prosecution anywhere excluding school property from the hours of eight in the morning to four in the afternoon. (scene of children running screaming from a man) That's right any kids out of school during school hours are free game for the dirtiest most perverted minds ever locked up in America. With the streets so unsafe kids will flock back to school away from the suburban nightmare that is lurking around them. But don't worry because the police come out at four to round up the creepy criminals before the kids leave school to put them back in prison where they are most assuredly gang raped and beaten to a bloody pulp. If the cops can not find all the pedophiles the kids will remain at school with their trusted school teachers, principals and counselors (creepy shots of school personnel getting too close to students) until every last threat to your children is locked up.

Thanks To You
You've reinstated my faith in God and Women
If I could stay with you it'll never fade again
Thanks to you I can feel love that I always fell short of
You made me remember what it is to love
The Ways I Love You
I love you for being so befriending
I love you for loving me neverending
I love you for never being deceiving
I love you for ever being relieving
True
I live for only what I know is true
And for love there is nothing I wouldn't do
And my word always follows through
So all I need to know dear is how to serve you
You've reinstated my faith in God and Women
If I could stay with you it'll never fade again
Thanks to you I can feel love that I always fell short of
You made me remember what it is to love
The Ways I Love You
I love you for being so befriending
I love you for loving me neverending
I love you for never being deceiving
I love you for ever being relieving
True
I live for only what I know is true
And for love there is nothing I wouldn't do
And my word always follows through
So all I need to know dear is how to serve you

Trust Earning
People trust a cross that is burning
People trust a flag that is burning
You think these people would start learning
That tangible things aren't trust earning
Celebrate Unity
Let's forget about Christmas, Kwanza, Chanukah and Ramadan
Let's celebrate unity and let love shine on
Jesus, MLK, Moses, Mohammad, Buddha or Gandhi
Whoever you choose they all say truth and love will set you free
Ignorant Hateful Slaves
Ignorant hateful slaves proclaim to love a man who said love and truth set you free
Those who don't become bitter or indifferent renounce such hypocrisy
Love, truth and freedom are still treasured by the educated and wise
But won't be religious lest they become what they despise
People trust a cross that is burning
People trust a flag that is burning
You think these people would start learning
That tangible things aren't trust earning
Celebrate Unity
Let's forget about Christmas, Kwanza, Chanukah and Ramadan
Let's celebrate unity and let love shine on
Jesus, MLK, Moses, Mohammad, Buddha or Gandhi
Whoever you choose they all say truth and love will set you free
Ignorant Hateful Slaves
Ignorant hateful slaves proclaim to love a man who said love and truth set you free
Those who don't become bitter or indifferent renounce such hypocrisy
Love, truth and freedom are still treasured by the educated and wise
But won't be religious lest they become what they despise
