Fickle Friend

sociology is pulling you away from me,
but it will not get the best of me
‘cause I’ll always serve analogy.
and your country and its laws
are forcing you to stall…
will you be my friend…until the end?
will you shut the door…for something more?
your psychology is putting me in a category,
but I will not remain subject
to your educational degree
or your future and its dreams
of destroying our humanity…
will you be my friend…until the end?
will you shut the door…for something more?

Lucas told me not to worry, not to worry.
he said that Forgiveness will find me and save me.
I’ve got to trust him ‘cause he’s really the only friend of mine.
were you ever going to come around?
Lucas asked me, should he die tonight would I carry on my Way?
I said, “I can’t promise anything but I’ll give it my best try!”
were you ever going to come around?

Seed

I’m only planting a Seed to see what will grow
so don’t be alarmed, ‘cause I don’t know
what will arise through Springtime.
You have asked me before but I didn’t know
how to respond but now I know and wait
if you’ll ask me once more!
I’m on the biggest stage I’ve ever been on
but there’s no one in the audience.
I’m just a lonesome serenade.

Father, sober up. The whiskey’s not doing the trick no more.
When will you see that nothing will be just like you want?
Father, sober up. The whiskey’s not doing the trick no more.
When will you see that nothing will be just like you thought it would?
Brother, quit that shit. It’s never gonna open nothing new.
Brother, quit that shit. It’s never gonna show you nothing true!
When will you see that nothing will be just like you thought it would?

G-d's Grace

Your grace is sufficient!
for all the Muslim boys in flight school
learning to martyr for their 72 virgins…
Your grace is sufficient!
for all the Mormons whom we laugh at;
gods of their worlds on their bicycles…
Your grace is sufficient!
You would never have made so many mistakes
that we could not live in your grace…
Your grace is sufficient!
for all the prostitutes & rapists,
whores & pornstars too!
Your grace is sufficient!
for all the homeless drunkard fuck-ups
whom we pass by on our way home…
Your grace is sufficient!
You would never have made so many mistakes
if we could not live in your grace…
Your grace is sufficient!
for all the Christians who think they’ve found you
and can claim you as their own…
Your grace is sufficient!
