lyrics

WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT I AM SURE THAT THERE'S A SONG TO CAPTURE EVERY THOUGHT I HAVE HERE
STANDING HERE ON THIS WELFARE LINE
AND THE SONG OF GOD IS ALL THERE IS AND ALL THAT THERE WILL EVER BE
AND WHEN HE STOPS SINGING THIS WILL DISAPPEAR
ALLEE IN COME FREE
IF YOU WANT TO BE
ABSOLUTELY FREE
YOU'RE THE KING YOU'RE THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE
BUT YOU DONE LOST YOUR CROWN
YOU BETTER LOOK AROUND
YOU BETTER LOOK EVERYWHERE
YOU BETTER BEAT THE BUSHES

-INST-

YOU MUST TRY YOU MUST TRY
YOU NEED DO NOTHING
FOR YOU ARE NOTHING
YOU ARE MIND ALONE24
SO THINK THE PERFECT THOUGHT
FOR YOU ARE MIND ALONE
TRUE IS THROUGH THE WHOLE IS HOLY
SACRED SECRET ROLLY POLLY
I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE WITH ME
ON THIS CHECKOUT LINE
MIND IS MINE AND SOLE ALONE AND ONLY LONELY TO THE BONE
AND FLESH AND BURR AND WHY CAN'T I JUST TELL THE TRUTH
DADDY'S DEALING CRACK
SISTER'S IN IRAQ
I AM WEARING BLACK
ON THIS NEW MOURNING
WHAT HASN'T HAPPENED YET
NEW ORLEANS JUST GOT WET
I GIVE THANKS FOR WHAT
IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN
INSIDE OUTSIDE CONRADICTION
MYSTERY IS MY ADDICTION
I'M SO GLAD YOU'R HERE WITH ME
- - -
I WISH I COULD TELL YOU ALL THE METAPHORS
I SMELL YOUR FEAR JUST TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
JUST THE WAY I AM
NO POINT IN BEING MEAN
PAST THE PLEISTOCENE
IT'S A WEIRD MACHINE
AND I KNOW EVOLUTION'S AN INTELLIGENT DESIGN
BUT STILL THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG
CAN'T FIND IT IN THIS SONG
GONNA HAVE TO LOOK EVERYWHERE
GONNA HAVE TO BEAT THE BUSHES

-INST- SHORTER THIS TIME

DUMBING DOWN AND DUMMY UP ELECTION FRAUD A BITTER CUP
LET'S ALL TAKE TO THE STREETS AND LIVE
A LIFE THAT'S FREE
ALLEE IN COME FREE
IF YOU WANT TO BE
ABSOLUTELY FREE
YOU MUST CRY YOU MUST CRY, CRY ME A RIVER
I WONDER IF YOU CAN
STILL FIND THAT NATURAL MAN
YOU BETTER LOOK EVERYWHERE
GONNA HAVE TO...

_INST END-

Paul McMahon image

Paul McMahon Woodstock, New York

From a musical family he explored folk, jug, blues and rock quitting music at 20 for art, returning as a punk rocker at 27. Then a long oddysey, solo and band in search of the real real deal; the songs becoming a diary of psychological and spiritual experience; shamanism and ordination as an Interfaith minister.
January 2020 tour of DC Ba Ph & Bk was his first at 69 organized by Goodflavor45 ... more
