'Coffee'

I got out of bed one day and made my way down the hall to the kitchen for some coffee
The coffee maker wouldn't turn on, and so I stood and stared and thought about no coffee

Legitimate addiction, as I grab my keys and coat plus a dollar-fifty
I wonder will it ever end?
All the sleepy mornings and a drink upon which I depend

It's alright, don't get down on yourself
That's life, and that's what learning's about
Don't stress, you can let it all go

It's alright, don't get down on yourself
Just laugh, cause that's what living's about
Don't stress, you can let it all go

Internally conflicted, as I wax and wane between my conscience and my brain,
Telling me I need this drink to feel good, with a kick and a boost to elevate my mood

What about exercise or some vitamins, or maybe a cup of tea?
But none of that sounds as appealing to me

'Until Tomorrow'

I'll see you off, I'll hold you close
To know tomorrow's gonna come
And sweep me off my feet each time our eyes meet
I'll hold my love until tomorrow

Will you think of me then, as now you do?
To walk through fantasy toward something new
I'll hold my love until tomorrow

It's nice to feel loved, and hold you in my arms
A firm belief in us is not so much to ask

Let's fill our fears with love and heal our hearts today

'You Deserve What You Get'

When I'm home I feel the need to be alone
Selfish tendencies take their control
If only I could bleed my ego
There was a time I wasn't so afraid, the world was mine
Each day was new and took me by surprise
Contentment's given way to painted smiles

You deserve what you get
A simple science of cause and effect
You deserve what you get

Traveling on, meander down the path the light is now gone
Hidden in the clutches of my palm
Thinking I should turn back, I move on
Down below the belly of the beast is soon to blow
The sands of time remain from so long ago
The chaos that I reap is what I sow

I'm thinking over in my head what to do
Haven't a clue
There's plenty to be thankful for
Instead I choose to sing the blues

You deserve what you get
A simple science of cause and effect
We all deserve what we get

'Democracity'

Day-dreaming, my self impeding simple progress now
Binge-feeding, consuming, needing
Don't know what, why, or how

Control us, dangle the carrot
We'll run on the wheel, forget how to feel
Psychosis, strengthen the ego - tell us what is real

For the first time ever in my life,
Comfort is the enemy
For the last time ever in my mind,
I'll be a slave to my TV
Buy and buy the things I don't even need

Big-business, Ed Bernays and the CIA playing their games
Shock-treatment, memory weakened with LSD
Montreal was the scene

Poor soldiers, suffering voices now left on the streets
Got nothing to eat
Agenda - Democracity
Support our bill, come and get your fill

Remember when we used to think and read?
Between the lines you'll find the authorities
Will try to hide the truth

That we are One, the planet's sons to Love
Instead they'd rather see us use Her up,
Fly to Mars and do it again, will it ever end?!

Come closer
All that I'm saying is the machine is afraid
Of the ways that we might behave

They subdue us with entertainment and cars to drive
To chase our slice of the pie
Confusion, why do we do this?
The jobs we fake, spending more than we make

Stop moving, where are we going?
Sit down and be, just Be.

This cow's to pasture, taken all I need...
