1. At The Ecosystem Level
- (A song about balance)
-
- It's all a gamble so be a rebel
- And not be hostile Dr. Jekyll
- We shake hands they sniff butts
- At the ecosystem level
-
- The biosphere of corporate life
- Lies and greed and the legal knife
- Corporate antelopes stray from the herd -- economic
Darwinism is the word
- Animals and Indians
- At the ecosystem level
-
- Unstable harmonic resonances
- Ancient civilization
- It lasted over 3000 years
- Is it boom is it bust or stagnation?
-
- Where do we go?
- Where do we go?
-
- The economy of vapor with wealth only on
paper
- One person's lover is another person's
raper
- Don't go out of bounds and sell your soul to the
devil
- Know your limitations at the ecosystem
level
-
- Where do we go?
- Where do we go?
-
2. Razor Mike (Instrumental)
- (Listen to Paul play the guitar with a
razor)
3. Immigration
- (They built this nation)
They came across the sea
- In multitudes of boats
- They came to America
- To see all that floats
- A new world was there
- For all those who didn't care - today
- We'll pave your way
- With translations
- Hope you can read
- We were built on sovereignty
- Hard work and years to flee
- And we built and destroyed
- In the name of Lloyds
- Though justice did reign
- Cowboys in Spain
- The community was everything
- Though we worked so hard
- The depression came wide and far
- Build the dam run the railroad
- Cut the tree make the brick
- Firearms and cannons
- We filled the land with
- To maintain the communities
- The difference is
- Have you aten any chicken feet?
- Veal parmesan is for me
- Ellis island's just a place
- To wash your face
- The tongue has needs to be trained
- RRRR, RRRR is left behind
- Get on a train
- Go west you young cowboys
- To be a cowboy
- American cowboy
- Learn to father learn to see
- All the opportunity
- Away from the island
- Ellis island is a carryover
- To where you want to go
- It's a new land a new opportunity
- To build a nation where
- We can be free
- We survived and prospered
- Through hard work and years of toil
- Sure there were some spoils
- But they came to the island
- Only wanting to be free
-
4. Not So Young
- (Life vs death; war vs peace; Neil Young is
hip)
-
- The war is over for me
- No peace and no cease fire
- No honor will there be -- none
- For the deserter and the liar
-
- Death and sickness numbed my soul
- They have also numbed my mind
- With antipathy and disgust
- For myself and for my kind
-
- Though my years they measure few
- And my song is far from sung
- You can see I'm not so young
-
- What of glory we pursued
- Is left waning in the dust
- Across the landscape of destruction
- And the arms we left to rust
-
- I cannot wish to try
- To see the things which have no answer
- Better to bid farewell than sorrow
- That can eat one like a cancer
-
- I will follow my feet wherever
- Wherever they seem to wish to take me
- To my home and hearth and the love of
one
- One who never would forsake me
-
- As the miles roll away
- The land rises to meet the hills
- I will shed the years of suffering
- And reawaken my will
-
- As the sights and smells of nature
- Begins to fill my heart
- With hope and love and sex and dreams
- And the promise of a brand new start
-
5. Spilled Beer Suite
- (A personal tragedy)
-
- 1. I spilled my beer today
-
- I spilled my beer today
- It spilled on the floor
- I'd go to the cooler but there isn't any
more
- I spilled my beer
- O yes I did I spilled my beer
- If I had another one
- I wouldn't be done
-
- I spilled my beer today
- It wasn't much fun
- And now there's no more for anyone
- We gotta go make a beer run
- Before our day is done
-
- 2. I see the bubbles
-
- I see the bubbles on the carpet today
- Don't know why they're not in my mouth
- It's gonna leave a stain
- To remind me of my incident
-
- 3. Other possibilities
-
- You know it wouldn't be so evil
- If was a Coors or some other gut rot
brew
- Even a Michelob or some other cervesa
- But this one was Beck's and that won't
do
- It maybe even could have been a Miller
Lite
- Or a Natural Lite or a Bud Lite
- Or some other lawn mower beer
- But the only thing better than the rest
- The one that's the best
- Is one of Pfiesteria's own home brewed
beers
-
- 4. Maybe
-
- Maybe I'll do better next wine
- Maybe I'll spill some wine
- At least it's not tragic as when you spill that good
old beer
- Maybe we'll just buy more
- Next time we go to the store
- That's probably the best idea of all - that's for
sure
-
6. Propped up Dog's Life/Don't Stay Away
- (A couch potato and a stalker)
-
- Here's words from another song
- To say how long it's been
- Would be absurd to stay in tune and sing
again
- Johnny go home, oh Johnny go home
-
- Rooster's gonna fly
- He's gonna live in the chicken house my o
my
- Better than a dogs life
- No variety no spice
- A Propped up dog's life
- A Propped up dog's life
-
- Couch ornament next to the table
- Where he burns his brand down
- His fingers are brown
- A Propped up dog's life
- Go to bed tonight
- Fix those big dark sacks under your eyes
-
- Steel wheels good on my feet
- I'm so happy in the street
- Be young and do my thing
- I'll pass your house once more today
- Don't you stay away from me
-
- Practice my some tricks in the street
- Jump off the handrails next to the fire
hydrant
- Fly through a ditch
- To keep me from you
-
- Don't stay away from me
- I know where you live (peekaboo)
-
- Old man hobbles down the lane
- No fun left for him to please
- In the street is where I want to play with
you
- In the street
-
- Don't stay away from me
- I know where you live (over on 2nd)
-
7. Spring Like Sunday
- (Jamming on a Sunday
afternoon)
-
- A new day's another day
- Hoped she wasn't hopin'
- Seeking the long way
- Find the door open
-
- The piper is playing
- She's got all the answers
- Behold
- Deep questions gold
-
- Papa knows the balance is in the ditch
- He got lucky and married that
- For God knows her sole intent
- Oh the shadow's on it's Old Crow on a
Sunday
-
- No understanding
- Beautifully whack
- Mortal men first lost love heart attack
- Anxiety will kill you
- Don't let fear define you
- Speak your tongue as you please
-
- It's a new day Sunday
- Old Crow in a bottle
- It's a spring like Sunday
- My wife's at the cottage
- It's a spring like Sunday
- Getting ready for the Monday
-
- Eye contact acceptable
- Though you know in her soul
- She wants to please, get me
-
- It's a new day Sunday
- Old Crow in a bottle
- It's a spring like Sunday
- My wife's at the cottage
- It's a spring like Sunday
- Take off your clothes and enjoy the walk
- It's a religion we don't talk
-
8. Stairs in the Night
-
- Stairs in the night
- Don't miss a stair
- Stairs in the night
- One flight in the night
- Just one step
- One flight in the night
- Don't miss a stair
