Working on the Line
04:09

Turn on the fryer
Heat up the oven
Write the prep list
A new day is a-comin
Workin six days straight
For eleven hours
Had to get up at four
Just to take a shower
Mop the floor
Take out the garage
Sometimes I wish
I had gone
To college
But I’m working on the line, baby
All the time, honey
Working on the line, sweetheart
For the rest of my time, sugar
Working on the line
All the time
Yes I’ll be working on the line
Till the day I die
The day I quit smoking
Was the day I lost my break
And now I got more time
To slice these grapes
Elbow deep in chicken
And don’t you know
Can’t stop sneezing
Got to blow my nose
25 steaks in the oven
Every dang one got a
Special something
Chorus
10 buck an hour
Don’t get you too far
I guess that’s what
Overtime is for
I burned my hand
Just the other night
But I got another
So I’ll be alright
I must have fed
About a million souls
Im souls
Im so sick of food
I can’t eat anymore
Chorus

No Time
03:14
|

We will never see the end
And no one
Was here to see it begin
Time rolls on
How strange to think we know
What’s going on
When we leave this earthly home
Life will roll on
And on and on
The wheel keeps on turning
The past and what’s to come
No end discerning
All points in time
This infinite measure
Deadlocked by mind
From whole we are severed
One is one and all is one
And only
Only one can be alone
And lonely
Reflections show one face
And so we
Reveal ourselves in this moment of space
Wholly
This now this now
Will be like no other
This time this time
Will not hold us forever
All points all points
Become one put together
No time no time
When we come back together

Rainy Day
04:17
|

There’s something special about a rainy day
A rainy day
What can I say
Feeling grateful for the times we’ve had to play
In any way
In any way
Drops keep falling on my window
We all go as the wind goes
Moments caught in time
Fill this heart of mine
The last words you never knew you’d say
You said anyway
Said anyway
How bright were those yesterday’s
In the gaze
Of today
Chorus
Time comes memories start to fade
What can I say
You’ve gone away
Feeling grateful for the times we’ve had to play
In any way
In any way

Just a Bit More
02:40
|
|||
Just a bit more
Just a bit more
They always tryin to get
Just a little bit more
Down at the gas pump
And the grocery store
They always tryin to get
Just a little bit more
More and more
Folks ain’t got much more
But they still tryin to get
Just a little bit more
Take it for nothing
Sell it for a buck
Leave the land wasted
Time to pack up
Wrap it in plastic
Save a dime
No more washing dishes
Who’s got the time
Just a bit more
Just a bit more
Always tryin to get
Just a little bit more
Pillage and plunder
Death by the score
People tryin to get
Just a little bit more
Sell you some fear
Profit from war
Killing off people
For a little bit more
Way up top
There’s a big ol pile
Enough to fill an ocean
You could swim down a mile
A few funky fellers
Sitting pretty rich
Thinking just a bit more
Might cure my itch
Just a bit more
Just a bit more
Always tryin to get
Just a little bit more
Don’t tax the rich
No tax the poor
Yes always tryin to get
Just a little bit more
That ol snake
Back in days of yore
Tellin Eve to try and get
Just a little bit more
More and more
Folks ain’t got much more
But they still tryin to get
Just a little bit
O just a little bit
More than the day before
And the day before that
Just a little itty bit more

A Little Journey
03:51
|
|||
Nothing’s sure, nothing is for certain
Certainly
But feelings tell, which way feels right
Give a little and see the world grow brighter
Incrementally
Purpose is a reflection of the light
Expectation only confines reality
And reality
Only exists between our sights
Yes we’re all just on a little Journey
Aren’t we?
I wonder where we’ll land
Thank you for this moment of limitation
Stationed
Seeing only what we can
How did we, how did we get so lucky
So lucky
To hold infinity in our hands
Seeking will only obscure reception
The deception
Is that we lack
At all
Value can be found in the experience
Of the impermanence
It is the sustenance
That drives us all
Chorus

If I die tomorrow
I’ll be happy with today
I did what I felt like
Let no fear get in the way
All of these feelings
Begging to be free
All of these thoughts
Saying they shouldn’t be
Each one has received
A separate destiny
No form will repeat
Endless individuality
Finding perspective
In between designs
Of the past lessons
Of countless living lives
Surrender to the calling
Find the freedom to be
Embrace the truth
Of the uncertainty
Oh life isn’t strange
When you see nothing is the same
Each moment is ordained
To be new at every stage
Each step is an ocean
Each breath a thousand years
Infinite moments
Make all paths unclear
Always moving
Compelled to play your role
Your place has found you
You may not need to know
Here it comes again
The end embrace the end
The light and dark are friends
To receive you must first send
If I die tomorrow
I’ll be happy with today
I did what I felt like
Let no fear get in the way

Ode to Mullein

Fuzzy wuzzy little leaf
Big yellow flower
Rising up in between
Grows by the roadside
Always there to find
Roll it up and take a puff
You won’t get high on
This
Kinda stuff
Just makes you feel better
Takes away the bad
You can breathe easy
Easier now
Easier easier now
You can breathe easy
You can breathe
Make a tea
Brew it up
The best things in life are
Absolutely free
You can just let them find you
Just look around
Fuzzy wuzzy little leaf
Big yellow flower
Rising up in between
Grows by the roadside
Always there to find
Chorus
