Songs
Prayers and lies

She’s got some faces in her leatherette purse
Ones she shows to a friend that’s not there
All the heads have neatly combed hair
And all the faces show smiles that hurt
One of her socks is down at her shoe
As she hungrily drinks the flask
All her woman’s mind was left far behind
And she was left without a clue
Then she smiles and whispers so softly
Sighing bitterly with her brow crinkling
In her twilight she whispers prayers and lies
Two little boys play outside
The dog drags 7 cousins
Stepfather is at the shop
With a gun at the managers head
Come back kitty Come on back
Through the fence there goes Sam!
Goodbye cat down the road
In a van to Reno
Where he can hide on stage
Maybe that was no fact?
Winter fell upon our souls
And my brother fell back
He remembers before he went alone
Ivan Lloyd with his songs about Jerome
Grasshopper’s head is gone
And Aaron is Drowning

Do what you’ve always done
And you’ll get what you’ve always gotten
It’s such a shame to live in this world
When you can’t see your problem
Visualize a happier you
Realize that it could be true
Formalize this process and you’re alive
But you won’t do it
You’re far too lazy
Comfortable? You must be crazy
Lies don’t work you always know truth
And in the end hides the proof
Die! That’s all in your head
Don’t buy your gravestone before you’re dead
You love to take from many just for one
And I can tell that because you’re human
Visualize a happier you
Realize that it could be true
Formalize this process and you’re alive
But you won’t do it
You’re far too lazy
Comfortable? You must be crazy
Lies don’t work you always know truth
And in the end hides the proof

Guatemala in 83
Helicopters for military
Flying righteous with sunglasses on
to get to the mass
A world away in 84
Butchers with bullets, El Salvador
The generals evacuated the soldiers
While children cried
Ethnic cleansing in Bosnia
Militiamen of Serbia
Weeping people bring the dead to life
In between the fights
Iraqi families in rubble and stone
Angry for reasons I’ll never know
Al Jazeer can’t get their message to send
and we’re all in the dark
Wars for resources
Wars for trillion$
Wars for the children
We let the bombs fall
Famine victims “living” in the Sudan
Prosthetic limbs Afghanistan
Hutu death camps in Africa stand
in the scars on the man
Heavy metals in the factory air
Half a beggar washing children’s hair
Untouchables unload a boatload of sand
Building bricks they can’t have
We are the witness
of his testimony
And we will never forget
And let it never repeat

Fanga alafia
Aug 1st
(J. Campbell, traditional)
Fanga Alafia Ashe Ashe
Ikabo Alafia Ashe Ashe
Welcome to our world today
Good health to you always
Peace is my intention
and motivates what I say
Look into my eyes again
I want to make sure you are a friend
Trust should be expected
With innocence as a trend
No tricks up our sleeves
No war, no disease
We only come in peace
“Fanga” is a mystery
It could mean anything
“Alafia” translates as welcome
Good health to you and peace
“Ashe” is authority
Vital life-force energy
The word for inner power
That exists in everything
“Ikabo” I don’t know
Forgiveness some say so
David wants to sing about burritos!!!

Hippopotomous amphibius
Aug 1st
(J. Campbell)
The hippopotamus is semi-aquatic
living in the rivers and lakes
Aggressive creatures that kill lots of people
They can bite you right in two
Hippos look like pigs and other ungulates
Even though they’re cetaceans
Kenyapotamus the fossil example
16 million years ago today
The hippopotamus once lived in the forest and plains
He grew fatter and fatter and fatter because he ate all day
I want to live in the river! Please oh Lord. It’s Way too hot
I want to live with the fishes. Please oh Lord. The sun won’t stop!
The Lord N’gai told the hippo that he did love the fish
and that a hippo in the water would treat each one as a dish
You must change your eating habits I will protect the fish
And they are very dear to me, oh no, I cannot grant your wish
The hippopotamus thought about the wishes of the Lord
And how happy he would be if he were hot no more
Lord I won’t eat even one and I will prove this
I will spread my dung on the banks and show no bones from fish
Talk Back!
