Got A Job At Walmart (nuvocoke@gmail.com) got a job at walmart... get to stand at the door... greet all the customers... when they enter the store... may not get paid much... but that's not why I'm there... as a "store associate" I get to show how much I care... people bring their kids in... let 'em all go wild... whomever got rid of spankings probably never had a child... they run all over, knocking everything down and leave the store crying, kicking, screaming, spazzing out and wearing a frown... got a job at walmart... but it's only part time... 'cause they don't give benefits to unskilled positions like mine... they may not pay much... but they've taught me alot, like how to get foodstamps or find a free clinic if I need a shot... items from china... and bangladesh... give you a selection "internationale" for very little cash... if you can't afford much, you're in the right location... 'cause everything at walmart was made in some third world nation... got a job at walmart... and I think that's just great... with a "mickey d's" in the house for lunch I don't need a plate... and if I'm ever lonely I'll just stop you on your way out, and scrutinize every last item on your bill to see what you're about got a job at walmart... got a job at walmart...

Halloween Ain't For Kids Any more (nuvocoke@gmail.com) (verse) it has been decided, after much deliberation, to cancel any all hallow's eve celebration... the school board feels it's a clear violation of church and state seperation - so to satisfy a fundamentalist or two, we're taking halloween away from you... though this may seem like an over reaction, we're just trying to avoid legal action... (because...) (CHORUS) halloween ain't for kids any more, if we had our way they wouldn't knock at your door... just a costume burning prayer meeting for sure... halloween... ain't for kids any more... (verse) all those ghouls and witches are a blasphemy, just part of some satanic worshipping society... where treats and goodies are nothing more than bribes to tempt the weak willed to stray from their holy tribes... (because...)(CHORUS) (sing-a-long) halloween ain't for kids any more (x4) (verse) we don't approve of dressing as a hero, or a hobo, all that useless pretending is unhealthy and a no go - we'd rather have the kids immersed in our theology, religion's not about setting young minds free so it doesn't matter if it's clowns, or batman, we're gonna force you to throw them in the trashcan... no princesses, or spongebobs are allowed in this unified school districts god fearing crowd... (because...)(CHORUS)

I May Prefer Organic... (nuvocoke@gmail.com) well, I may prefer organic... but being a food nazi's not my style and I may pay for free-range chicken... I will pick it over tofu all the while I don't care if you're a vegan, or a carnivore... it's not for me to decide what your teeth are biting for... when you swallow your food, try not to wallow in your pride... it's impolite to criticize what others choose to put inside... well, I may buy at farmer's markets. but I'm not above a pre-packed thing or 3... when it comes down to a budget, I will gladly accept anything that's free... I've eaten out of dumpsters at the finest retaurants... It's amazing what gets thrown away by fancy debutants... perfectly good produce that is just a little old... is still good for comsumption even though it can't be sold... well, I'm not a free-trade junkie, but that chocolate sure tastes real nice... "politically correct usually means ridiculously high priced... seaweed snacks will always make a crunchy treat... but, if you start turning green, well, you are what you eat... pandas chew on bamboo and apparently that's great... but, meat's the treat for me whenever I masticate... (repeat first line multi times - fade)

(sing along) don't you know that mermaids are people too (x4)... (verse) water covers three-quarters of our earth and apparently that's where all life was given birth... so many mysteries lay under the sea, we should be much more alert, if it were up to me, all marine life would be seen for what it's worth (CHORUS) (verse) government sponsored manuevers and experiments pay little attention to any truth or consequence ,thousands of animals sensitive to navy sonar end up dead on the beaches near and far... all that senseless carnage in the name of progress makes no sense (CHORUS) (bridge) oh, what a great surprise if merpeople materialized along all the coastal shorelines one fine day and forced world governments to concede that there's intelligence in the sea... and mersociety was always there to lead the way...

(CHORUS) (verse) I don't want to say that we're out of control... but... I really think we're screwed... we've managed to mess up everything with our air, our water, our food... now we're mucking about with all the DNA in some great unravelling... and while we're at it we might shatter the planet,,, with that hadron collider thing... well, all I can do is bring this song to you and ask everyone too sing... (sing along) (CHORUS)

The Glamour... Of Dumpster Diving (nuvocoke@gmail.com) one of my favorite things to find is free stuff on the street... jeans, or a jacket, or a pair of shoes at the price that can't be beat, people throw the damndest stuff away, you barely see it when you're driving... but, if you frequent city sidewalks & alleyways, you are a prime candidate for...

(hook) (sing along chant) the glamour of dumpster diving... (multi times) all your dreams come true with the glamour... of dumpster diving... the city dumpsters are like a hometown buffet, every manner of food can be found, fast food, takeout, or fancy gourmet, most times it's barely touched the ground... if organic's for you, there are crates to sort through, just pay attention to when they're arriving... it's all good, though it's old, to feed your body & soul... the government subsidized program known as the glamour... of dumpster diving (CHORUS) (sing along chant) the glamour of dumpster diving...

I Pledge Allegiance... (nuvocoke@gmail.com) (spoken intro) I pledge allegiance to the "made in China" sticker on the flag of the United States of America and to the downsizing and outsourcing for which it stands... one nation divided, bankrupted by corrupt politicians and corporations... with insecurity, injustice and intimidation for all... I pledge allegiance to the "made in china" sticker on my flag... this may not sound very patriotic, but I swear it's not a gag... most of the things we buy in the world today weren't made in the good ol' USA... blue collar industry has all but faded away, the service economy is here to stay.. a lower standard of living is the price we're gonna pay... as you pledge allegiance to the "made in china" sticker on your flag it may not seem overly important, but, it carries a high price tag... so many mortgages defaulted on... entire life savings completely gone the major cities falling into bankruptcy can't provide basic services for you and me... too big to fail is an unsustainable way to be... as we pledge allegiance to the "made in china" sticker on our flag... immediate shanges are sorely needed, but, the politicians tend to lag senators & congressman are all millionaires who are so out of touch when the cupboard is bare, republican or democrat, there's no difference there... we need a party of the people to clear the air and share the abundance of this country with its citezens everywhere... as I pledge allegiance to the "made in china" sticker on my flag (multi)

(CHORUS) if you find a nuke, it must be a fluke, some radical, war mongering, scientific kook, purveying mass destruction without government instruction, if you find a nuke, it must be a fluke... (sing-a-long) if you find a nuke, it must be a fluke (x4) (verse) you can believe us, there's no deception, no need for drone strikes or UN intervention, a clean power source is our only intention, over-enrichment has no need to be mentioned... most surely there will be accusations, anonymous tips, leaks, and covert operations, but if you do find something in our sovereign space, just remember, you're the ones who dropped the bomb in the first place... so... (CHORUS) (bridge) please pardon our nuke, it must be a fluke, we don't really want to burn your skin off, melt your face, or make you puke, why don't you take a sabatical, it's not like we're dangerous extremists, or radicals, so, if you find a nuke, it must be a fluke (CHORUS)

No Where To Go (nuvocoke@gmail.com) (verse) hey Mr Mayor... there seems to be a problem... you say that your bringing jobs to our fair city, by giving tax breaks and freebies to the industries... while neglecting to address the issues of the needy on our streets... (don't you know...)

(sing along) there's no where to go, no place to pee... (verse) hey city council, what's the story? Even the dogs have places where they can play and run free, with the park's curfew laws there's people who have nowhere to stay, they can't sleep in doorways, lay on the sidewalks, or roam the streets (CHORUS) (change) I'm aware there's drugs, gangs, crime, abuse, & criminal entities, these problems need to be addressed for the safety of society, but unless you want people pissing on walls every time nature calls, there needs to be public restrooms so everyone can pee... we the people have the right to hygene & dignity...(CHORUS)
25.
Our Goverment Has A Prism (nuvocoke@gmail.com) (verse) when I wasn't much more than a little baby boy... a prism seemed to be the most remarkable toy... you could make every color of the rainbow manifest on any wall, without crayons, colored pencils, or markers and no mess to clean up at all... (CHORUS) our government has a prism that takes all the fun away... this prism collects information about everyone, everything, everyday no need for a warrant, reasonable suspicion, or probable cause that's what they say, our government has a prism that takes your privacy away (bridge) homeland security is in no hurry, with too much information to sort they tell us not to worry, they'll only access it if they think you've done something wrong, so I guess I'd better watch my ass now that I've written this song... (CHORUS) (verse) if you belong to the CIA, FBI, NSA or other agency, you might have security clearance to casually browse this information for free but if you find something of national interest don't dare to leak it to the press, or wiki... you could get snow jobbed like Snowden and find that you've won a federally sponsured trip to the penitentiary...(CHORUS)

The Politician's Credo (nuvocoke@gmail.com) (verse) I want to stop all the wars by starting a few more, but they've got to be the ones I can win, and when I've conquered everything, I will declare myself the king and put an end to all political bickering... (CHORUS) (CHORUS) because I am smarter than you, I can solve any problem and tell you what to do, so if you pledge your allegiance to me I'll let you keep pretending you are free... (verse) I intend to vanquish inequality by making mediocrity the standard to which everyone aspires... and once I've lowered that high bar and you're content the way you are, I will become the social mentor you admire... (CHORUS) (CHORUS) because I am smarter than you, I've got a mensa acceptable IQ, if you relinquish all control to me, I'll let you keep pretending you are free... (verse) I promise to promote profitability and economic clarity by giving all the money to the banks, because they are too big to fail, no CEOs end up in jail, such a success story surely deserves our thanks... (CHORUS) (CHORUS) because I am smarter than you, I've got the keys to the kingdom and can make my lies sound true, if you capitulate and bow down to me... I'll let you keep pretending you are free...

Round 'n Round (nuvocoke@gmail.com) like a child spinning... round 'n round... carefree living... people giving... while listening to the sound... of joyful laughter in the air... twisting 'n turning without a care back to the beginning... no need to be scared... whirling 'n twirling like you're already there.. but who said life is fair...? while the world keeps turning... round 'n round... people yearning... need to be learning... to get by on what they've found... creating sustainable energy... and feeding the planet are neccesities... healthcare shouldn't be a luxury... clean water and air were meant to be free... and shared abundantly... while the clock keeps ticking... as the hands spin 'round... wounds need licking... from all the ass kicking... the wheels of war have ground us down... before we know it... it'll be too late... if we don't learn to cooperate... accept each other and tolerate... we'll be gasping and writhing as we meet our fate... we can't keep postponing that apocalyptic date... to the black hole churning... on its spiral down... sucking up everything, 'til there's nothing left... no people... no light... no sound... back to the drawing board... try again... reset the timer... will it ever end...? are we doomed to repeat it all over my friends? history.. insanity... and karma... over and over and over and over... (to first verse) we're all just children spinning round 'n round 'n round

Seeing It Through (nuvocoke@gmail.com) Seeing it through the eyes of someone young... seems like every problem should concern everyone... when you're seeing it through the eyes of someone young... there's nothing like having a blank slate to show what can be done... seeing it through the eyes of someone young... when you're seeing it through the eyes of someone new... can't escape the feeling that it's all been left up to you... when you're seeing it through the eyes of someone new... there's nothing like inexperience to prove what you can do... as long as you're seeing it through... seeing it through the eyes of everyone... Seeing it through the eyes of someone old... seems like common sense is something rare to behold... when you're seeing it through the eyes of someone old... there's nothing like a cherished elder with stories yet untold... so much knowledge to unfold... Seeing it through the eyes of someone there... seems like going through it all is the only way to care... when you're seeing it through the eyes of someone there... it's good to lend a helping hand when life has been unfair... there's so much more when we all share... Seeing it through the eyes of someone now... it seems past, present, and future are all the same anyhow... when you're seeing it through the eyes of someone now... this is the time to fulfill your promises and honor every vow... the only time we have is now... be present in the now... Seeing it through the eyes of everyone...

Stand your ground - the movie (nuvocoke@gmail.com) (verse) owning a gun can be so much fun, especially if you live in a state where you can justify killing someone... by saying you were scared, self defense is what you declared... though you were doing the stalking of a young boy just walking on the street out there... (CHORUS) (CHORUS) So, now I guess you'll be the star of stand your ground - the movie even though you went too far, you probably think you're pretty groovy... you deserve to be dead or in a jail cell, but really, you can just go to hell, that's where you'll be if all ends well in stand your ground - the movie (verse) neighborhood watch, just a fancy name... that you can use and abuse to justify your vigilante game... When you're out there, you're emotionally impaired... just a wacko, sicko, psycho, lunatic, a living walking breathing nightmare... (CHORUS) (verse) you were found not guilty because of a bad law... and an inept judge & jury... you're just lucky that nobody saw... the things you did on that fate filled, frightful night... maybe if Trayvon had had a gun everything would have turned out right... (CHORUS 2) (CHORUS 2) and then he may have been the star of stand your ground - the movie you'd be laying in your grave, he might be facing some time in juvie... so even though they say you're free... karma's a bitch, just wait and see... a lot of people disagree with stand your ground - the movie... and anytime you come around they might just feel the need to stand their own ground... and I got news for you Zimmy... that ain't gonna be no Disney movie...

Tea Time In Amsterdam, (The Legend Of 420) (nuvocoke@gmail.com) (verse) tea time in Amsterdam... 4:20pm, or was that when some boys met by the wall at San Rafael High? 1971, was it way back then? by ol' stone faced Louie Pasteur just outside the school... on a quest to find an abandoned cannabis crop, those 5 waldos set out to break all the rules (singalong) tea time in Amsterdam was really weed time in Marin (multi) (verse) there's only 315 active chemicals in your pot- not 420, do you get the point? ... and the hinderance of public lands is what California penal code 420 is all about... not smoking a joint, we know national pot smokers day is on 4/20, but it wasn't that way at the very start... and the deadheads surely spread the word about 420, but that's only because they took the legend to heart... (singalong) (verse) tea time in Amsterdam - could be 4:20, or 5:15... but whatever hour they choose to partake of the herb, those Amsterstoners had nothing to do with what 420 means... hey, we all anticipated something epic, to forever go down in ganja history, well now you know the truth about a group of high school kids & what a grand ride this has turned out to be (singalong) tea time in Amsterdam was really weed time in Marin (multi) and that's where it all begins...
