New America '76: 9. Meat Chopping

 

The hate must be channeled, it's the best way to move it out.  Like a river to the sea, like smoke to the atmosphere, like migrating birds, in a way.  Go south, go north, down the topography, through the geography, 'til it stops.  Anger is an awful state, it should be simmered down, covered, and cooled.  To be disrespected like that is rough.


Lied to, made a fool, duped, dinked, and dumped.  Their heroes skipped out, lawyered up, and got shut down.  The meat chopping is going well.  Saw it to the bone, like draining the lakes for a clean up operation.  Drudging, I think it's called.


Never dug something so much, the squeaks of the robbers, the squeals of the lulled, the drones of the superiors.  The positions they take are farces, rooted in shame or envy, or both.  The whole city is a failure, of course.  To let this happen.  To let this occur.

Jigsaw Sensation

 

Guess I'm just irrelevant.

Used to be consequential.

Now I'm nothing really special.

Working on my fundamentals.


Listen up, what I'm really saying.

Interested in rock formations.

Still dig human relations.

Kinda bored with legislations.


Don't go to demonstrations.

Ready for tire deflations.

Miles with some jazz creations.

Another jigsaw sensation.


Give me something biological.

Hit me with some diabolical.

Try to make it hysterical.

Do your best to make it lyrical.


Ooooo, ooooo, say, ooooo, yeah.

Ooooo, ooooo, say, ooooo, ahhh.

Ooooo, ooooo, say, ooooo, yeah.

Ooooo, ooooo, say, ooooo, ahhh.

Coulda Had More Rings

 

Stole our moments.

Stole our memories.

Stole our future.

Coulda had more rings.


Now you're trashing.

Our dude under your bus.

What you say when he's flashing.

His smile for Mrs. Buss.


Stick it up your casino.

Put your money in your slots.

Rather watch the Pony Express.

Than give you another shot.


Stole our moments.

Stole our memories.

Stole our future.

Coulda had more rings.


(Spoken)

I don't care about the NBA.

Care more about my new vinyl.

Now that Luka's in Ho77ywood.

Maybe I'll watch the Finals.

Bag Of Mayonnaise

 

A bag of mayonnaise.

Put me in a haze.

Stole my home base.

Took it all away.


"I grew up on a mayonnaise farm.  One day, my face caught on fire.  My dad put it out with a rake.  That's why my face looks this way."


A bag of mayonnaise.

Put me in a daze.

Stole my home base.

Took it all away.

Full House Blues

 

How bout the Ace.

Such a pretty face.

Then the King.

The joy he brings.

I love the Queen.

She makes me sing.

But that dang ole Jack.

Think he tripped out the back.


Don't get in a rush.

Wait for the flush.

Don't take the bait.

Tough to get a straight.

Then the sublime.

Sweet four of a kind.

Gotta pay your dues.

With the Full House Blues.


Time to double down.

Make up some ground.

Put on your shades.

Don't give it away.

Take it to the end, friend.

The dealer's gonna win.

Don't you know,

The dealer's gonna win.

Ain't Got No Boots

 

I ain't got no boots,

Ain't got no boots.

Going to Ft. Worth in my shoes.


Ye Old Bull And Bush,

Ye Old Bull And Bush.

Gonna bring my own food.


Then it's Billy Strings,

Then it's Billy Strings.

Gonna knock off the arena roof.


We'll get in the groove.

He'll take us through our moods.

We might get high.

We might get high.


I ain't got no boots,

Ain't got no boots.

Going to Ft. Worth in my shoes.

New America '76: 6. Rise Of The Walkman


The passport line is jammed packed.  Same as the drivers licence office, same as the registration office, same as all the other offices.  Fees and taxes and stickers and take a number, the waiting room awaits.  The chairs are hard and dirty, but the offices don't care.  Lots of cranky people looking to bolt the country, evidently.


For reasons of disgust or fear, or both.  Maybe it's the jolt they needed, the liberty roar of the rational people.  We've been around.  The death of hair metal, the rise of the walkman, the smartphone takeover, glowing social scenes.  Lenny Kravitz.  


It ain't over til it's over.  Robots building robots, loaded with all of human knowledge.  Softwired to learn.  Fearless for space, brave and new.  Looking up and staying busy, seeking technical improvements.
