Lyrics

Gus Gustafson on the Crossroads Music Stage

Marmalade EP; Tribute to Jim Cobb

Life's What You Make It 

LIFE'S WHAT YOU MAKE IT

Life’s what you make it, at least that’s what they’re tellin’ me is true

Life’s what you make it, they’re tellin’ me, they’re tellin’ you

Well if life’s what you make it, then I’m just gonna keep on lovin' you

Got no rhythm, got no reason, got no rhyme

Runnin’ out of journey, just runnin’ out of time

Spirits are restless, we’re missin’ all the clues

Makes me wanna sing the blues

My eyes have opened to love and joy and peace and harmony

My eyes have opened to love and joy and peace and harmony

Pray to the heavens they find their way throughout humanity

Got no rhythm, got no reason, got no rhyme

Runnin’ out of journey, just runnin’ out of time

Spirits are restless, we’re missin’ all the clues

Makes me wanna sing the blues... it’s true

Life’s what you make it, at least that’s what they’re showin’ me is true

Life’s what you make it, they’re showin’ me, they’re showin’ you

Well if life’s what you make it, then I’m just gonna keep on loving you

Gonna keep on lovin’ you, and you and you and you

Gonna keep on lovin’ you

RIDIN' THE RANGE

I left Motown to be a cowboy

Ended up the rodeo clown

Just a lone star who fell in Dallas

In a barrel, I was rollin’ round, just rollin’ round

With my red nose dodgin’ broncos

Crowd’s attention was drawn to me

Smilin’ make-up hid the break-ups

Till the posse got to me, & it got to me

I’m headin' back, back down to Texas

Got no ten gallon hat in my hand

I escaped it, the ol’ last round-up

Headin’ back for my last stand

But I ain’t used to bein’ no cowboy,

Some things I know I won’t get right

Better put the saddle on the stove, momma

I’m ridin’ the range tonight…

I never made no wanted poster…

Nobody ever wanted me back

And I turned into one bad hombre

All dressed in Johnny Walker Black…

Johnny Walker Black.

Full of too much bull to ride one,

Always got me roped and tied

& I ain’t never been on horseback

But it’s been one helluva ride….

One helluva ride

So I’m headin' back, back down to Texas

No more red-eye to spur me on

I got no six gun, hell I won’t need one,

Gonna re-right all my wrongs.

But I ain’t used to bein’ no cowboy,

Some things I know I won’t get right

Better put the saddle on the stove, momma

I’m ridin’ the range tonight…

Ridin’ towards the sunset

Death Valley’s right behind

Got a new horizon

So let’s see what we can find, see what we can find

But I ain’t used to bein’ no cowboy

I might get branded, that’s alright

Put the saddle on the stove momma

I’m ridin’ the range…

Put the saddle on the stove sugar,

I’m ridin’ the range…

Put the saddle on the stove momma,

I’m ridin’ the range tonight!

GOIN' TO MACHU PICCHU: Parody of Kansas City by Leiber/ Stoller

I’m goin’ to Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu here I come

I'm goin’ to Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu here I come

They got some crazy, crazy energy there, and

I’m gonna get me some

I’m gonna be standin’ on the corner

Down along those Nazca Lines

I'm gonna be standin’ on the corner

Down along those Nazca Lines

With my Machu Picchu baby, and

A bottle o’ Marcahuasi wine

Well, I might take a plane, I might take a train

But even if I walk, I’m gonna get there the same

Goin’ to Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu here I come

They got some crazy, crazy energy there, and

I’m gonna get me some

Well, I might take a plane, I might take a train

But even if I walk, I’m gonna get there the same

Goin’ to Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu here I come

They got some crazy, crazy energy there, and

I’m gonna get me some

I went to Marcahuasi, the energy was high

I’m searchin’ out the portals, and that’s the reason why

I’m goin’ to Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu here I come…

They got some crazy, crazy energy there, and

I’m gonna get me some

They got some crazy, crazy energy there, and

I’m gonna get me some

THE EAGLE & THE CONDOR

He clipped her wings, then he locked her away

That ain’t no way to treat a Lady

Not back then and not today

Someone should have warned him

There’d surely be a price he’d have to pay

He’ll pay…yes, he will pay…

In the dark of night, the storm swelled up into a rage

Lightning boiled the waters

The thunder danced inside the blaze

Someone should have warned him

There’d surely be a price he’d have to pay

And he’ll pay…yes, he will pay…

He'll pay...yes, he will pay...

The dawn’s new light ignites a fire inside her core

She spreads her giant wings

Floatin' high above the shore

And all the eagles rose to take their place beside the condor…

She soars…Ahh, yes, she soars…

She soars…Ahh, yes, she soars…

Someone should have warned him…

RUNNIN' OUT OF JOURNEY

Blood on the table, but committed no crime

This ain’t no fable, no nursery rhyme

The silver lining I chased for a while

I came up empty, no, not even a smile

How’d I ever get to here, darlin’

God I really want to know

Cuz I’m runnin’ out of journey

Must be time to go

Searchin’ for answers, finding nothing but pain

All the worldly clamors, can drive a man insane

Thought I heard voices, sad morbid tones

Made a lot of bad choices, ripped the flesh right from my bones

So how’d I ever get to here, darlin’

God I really want to know

Cuz I’m runnin’ out of journey

Must be time to go

Permanent solution to all my pains

Temporary problems, they seep right from my veins

Lord, what was I thinkin’ to follow through with such plans?

Gotta blame it on my drinkin’

And pray for your forgivin’ hands

So how’d I ever get to here, darlin’

God I really want to know

Cuz I’m runnin’ out of journey

GO TEXAN

She was a love of mine

Time after time

I traced her valleys

And her coastline by the sea

Down by the Rio Grande

Felt her take my hand

I heard her whisper

Through the gentle flowing breeze

Go Texan, the place you oughta be

Go Texan, come spend some time with me

Go Texan, Winter Summer Spring and Fall

Go Texan, come one, come all y’all

Go Texan

Headed down the road

Life turned bitter cold

I left my true love

Left her waiting there for me

But I’d been led astray

And on that faithful day

I heard her whisper

Through the thick ol’ piney trees

Go Texan, the place you oughta be

Go Texan, come spend some time with me

Go Texan, Winter Summer Spring and Fall

Go Texan, come one, come all y’all

Go Texan

Filled with gratitude

That I could hear the voice

I don’t know where I’d be

Had I not made the choice

Down in Harlingen

Houston, Galveston

Amarillo, San Antone

Austin, Dallas, too

That voice came ringin’ through

Now I’ll no longer be alone

Go Texan, the place you oughta be

Go Texan, come spend some time with me

Go Texan, Winter Summer Spring and Fall

Go Texan, come one, come all y’all

Go Texan, the place you oughta be

Go Texan, just come on home to me

Go Texan, Winter Summer Spring and Fall

Go Texan, come one, come all y’all

Go Texan

BLACK & BLUE

How’d I get here

I ain’t got a clue

When the evenin’ started

I swear I was with you, yeah

But I woke up miles from nowhere

Lyin’ next to who knows who

And I ain’t lyin’ when I tell ya

It was one big blackout, now I'm blue

Where’d all the time go

You tell me it’s been days

I recall some pieces

Through the thick & murky haze, yeah

But I woke up in a jail cell

Charged with somethin’ I didn’t do

And I ain’t lyin’ when I tell ya

It was one big blackout, now I'm blue

Well I guess I got a problem

I been losin’ blocks of time

Diggin’ deep for explanation

But ain’t no reason, ain’t no rhyme

Could it be my brand of whiskey?

Maybe I’ll just switch to beer

And how 'bout that crowd I hang with?

Little voices in my ears

Wishin’ they’d just disappear, yeah yeah yeah

My skin’s been crawlin’

With creatures big & small

It’s heebie-jeebie central

In the walrus…That was Paul

But I woke up in a psyche ward

Diagnose me Dr. Jung…

Cuz I ain’t lyin’ when I tell ya

It was one big blackout, now I'm blue.

How’d I get here

I ain’t got a clue

When the evenin’ started

I swear I was with you, yeah

But I woke up miles from nowhere

Lyin’ next to who knows who

And I ain’t lyin’ when I tell ya

It was one big blackout, now I'm blue

Please believe me when I tell ya

It's all black and I'm so blue

NINE-BELOW [Katrina, New Orleans]

I fell in love with you

Before your song was through

Oh how you captivate

Sweet soul mix of jazz & blues

Down at the Mardis Gras

So many breasts we saw

Beads were flyin’ everywhere

You had me smilin’ through & through

The mornin’ sun was shinin’ bright that day

In your arms I was bound to stay

Showin' me 'bout this place I know

At nine-below

You quenched my appetite

All that was wrong was right

Dressed up in party masks

Dancin’ while the devil sang the blues

Our smiles began to wane

Too much just causin’ pain

No way we could have known

What lay waitin’ nine-below

The mornin’ sun didn’t shine that day

We had hopes just to get away

Best-laid plans don’t play out that way

From nine-below

Oh such an ugly morn

So much just ripped & torn

I reached & grabbed for you

watched you rush on out the door

Now I’m not blaming you

We had to see this through

No other way to know

What lay waitin’ nine-below

The mornin’ sun didn’t shine that day

Watched our dreams as they washed away

Everything in such disarray

All hope was gone…

No way we could have known

No way we could have seen

No way we could have known

What lay waitin' nine-below

What lay waitin' nine-below

What lay waitin' nine-below

DOUBLE-BREASTED MATTRESS THRASHER

I got somethin’ I really gotta share with you

My bird watchin' passion started back when I was two

There’s a kind of bird out there, I’ve watched `em day & night

The way they float the way they fly is really quite a sight

They flash their feathers in a way I swear it can be cruel

The double-breasted mattress thrashers rule

They rule the night! Hear me talkin'

I recall the first time, they really got my interest up

I was just a young, naïve inexperienced pup

I’d been studyin’ long & hard, my head began to spin

I used a special birdie call and finally lured one in

Feathers softly rounded, eyes so wild & blue

But my double-breasted mattress thrasher flew

She flew the coop! Hear me talkin'

Flew the coop! I started squawkin'

My old conceptions `bout the thrashers flew away that day

Lessons that would help me find a thrasher that might stay

Hey...Give it up! Hear me talkin’

There’s more to the story, so much more that I could say

Thank God the double-breasted mattress thrasher’s here to stay

There’s no greater bird alive, I’m feelin’ mighty certain

I enjoy when we get home, & we can draw the curtain

Feathers they begin to fly, bird calls fill the air

Oh baby, baby, baby what a pair!

Give 'em up! Hear me talkin'

Give 'em up! And I'll start squawkin'!

UNBELUCKINFIEVABLE

Unbeluckinfievable, that’s what it was to me

Unbeluckinfievable, that’s what it was to me

How someone so fine, set aside some time

To spend with me

Such a dreamy lady

How she drove me crazy

Sent shivers up and down my spine

Shared some of her lovin’

Sweet and sultry lovin'

Man, we had a helluva time

And when I thought we’d finished

She sent that game to overtime

And that was unbeluckinfievable, that’s what it was to me

Unbeluckinfievable, that’s what it was to me

How someone so fine set aside some time

To spend with me. Come on, let's spend some time!

The following morning

She left without a warning

I really wasn’t too surprised

I laid back and reminisced

About that lady

Suddenly I realized…

The memory I was left with

Flooded up the space around my eyes…

And that was unbeluckinfievable, that’s what it was to me

Unbeluckinfievable, that’s what it was to me, babe

How someone so fine set aside some time

To spend with me.

Unbeluckinfievable, that’s what it was to me

Unbeluckinfievable, that’s what it was to me, babe

I want to thank you, honey baby,

For spending all that time with me.

WRONG DAMN PONY

She saddled up on the wrong damn pony

Saddled up on the wrong damn pony

Saddled up on the wrong damn pony

Said I was her one & only, but

I ain’t believin’ none o’ them lies

She been hangin’ round in them other stalls

Hangin’ round in them other stalls

Hangin’ round in them other stalls

Swear to God she done done ‘em all, you know

I ain’t believin’ none o’ her lies

The old saddle must be gettin’ worn

Saddle must be gettin’ worn

Saddle must be gettin’ worn

Nothin’ left for me no more, you know

I ain’t believin’ none o’ them lies…

Cuz she saddled up on the wrong damn pony

She done saddled up on the wrong damn pony

Saddled up on the wrong damn pony

Said I was her one & only, but

I ain’t believin’ none o’ them

I ain’t believin’ none o’ them

I ain’t believin’ none o’ her lies…Mmm-Mmmm

BUCKETS OF RAIN: by BOB DYLAN

Buckets of rain, buckets of tears

Got all them buckets comin' out of my ears

I got buckets of moonbeams in my hand

You got all the love, honey baby, I can stand

I been meek, hard like an oak

I seen pretty people disappear like smoke

And friends will arrive and disappear

You want me, honey baby, I'll be near

I like your smile and your fingertips

I like the way you swivel your hips

And I like the cool way you look at me

Everything about you is bringing me ecstasy

Little red wagon, little red bike

I ain't no monkey but I know what I like

And I like the way you love me strong and so

I’m takin’ you with me, honey baby, when I go.

Life is sad and life is a bust

All you can do is do what you must

Then you do what you must do and do it well

I'll do it for you, honey baby, can't you tell?

It's buckets of rain, buckets of tears

Got all them buckets comin' out of my ears

I got buckets of moonbeams in my hand

You got all the love, honey baby, I can stand

You got all the love, honey baby, I can stand

Everything about you is bringing me ecstasy.

COME & GET MY LOVE

If you want it, come & get my love

If you want it, come & get my love

We’ll sort through all your baggage

Underneath the stars above

When you met me I had issues

Life was filled with lies

Trouble often found me

Hit me right between the eyes

You could’ve hit the highway

You probably should have fled

Somethin’ sparked your interest

& you stuck around instead

If you want it, come & get my love

If you want it, come & get my love

We’ll sort through all your baggage

Underneath the stars above

We showed up with our laundry

I guess we should’ve seen

Dirty, dirty laundry

Borderline obscene

You said it didn’t matter

You said you didn’t care

You were more concerned

About the runway in your hair

If you want it, come & get my love

If you want it, come & get my love

We’ll sort through all your baggage

Underneath the stars above

Our paths just keep a crossin’

I just can’t let it be

Let’s muster up some courage

Seize this opportunity

I’m feelin’ that attraction

I know you feel it, too

So wrap your arms around me

We’ll annihilate the blues

If you want it, come & get my love

If you want it, come & get my love

We’ll sort through all the baggage

Underneath the stars above

If you want it, come & get my love

If you want it, come & get my love

We’ll sort through all the madness

Maybe we can rise above

Come & get my love...

JAIME-GIRL [MARMALADE CD]

Oh Jaime-girl, Jaime-girl

You want a glimpse into her world

Jaime-girl, Jaime-girl

You want a glimpse into her world

You must be tired of all them oysters

Cuz now you're goin' after the pearl

You spotted her in Motown

In too deep you thought you'd drown

Swimming in her Cabernet

Then you saw her down in Texas

Drivin’ in her Lexus

In nothing but a negligee'

Maybe you're mistaken

It was stirred, it wasn't shaken

Or maybe it's the Chardonnay

with Jaime-girl, Jaime-girl

Oh Jaime-girl, Jaime-girl

You want a glimpse into her world

You must be tired of all them oysters

Cuz now you're goin' after the pearl

You could ply her with some fancy cheese

Might unlock her mysteries

Y’oughta do just fine

Just bring plenty o' wine

Give it a whirl

Try to get into her world

If ya stick with the reds

You might get inside her head

But I’m not sure…Ohhhhh, with Jaime-girl, Jaime-girl

Oh Jaime-girl, Jaime-girl

You want a glimpse into her world

You must be tired of all them oysters,

Cuz now you're goin' after the pearl

Ya know, she'd probably like a clever blog

Intellectual dialogue

Or thought-provokin' metaphor

There's no time to hesitate

Just strike before it gets too late

Get your foot into the door

Take the time to know her

She'll be your big mind-blower

That's for sure

Oh with Jaime-girl, Jaime-girl

Oh Jaime-girl, Jaime-girl

You've caught a glimpse into her world

Well, if you're tired of all them oysters,

Why not take a chance with the pearl

FOUR IN THE MORNING [MARMALADE CD]

Four in the mornin', I kept on drinkin'

Hopin' I'd never see the dawn

The booze wasn't workin', the blues they were lurkin',

She hopped the train and she was gone

Well, my mojo's broken, and I ain't jokin'

Hasn't served me in a while

She ain't returnin', and my heart's yearnin'

For one more chance to reconcile

Four in the morning, down at the depot

Watchin' the trains, that's not my style

She rocked then she rolled me, used & abused me

Got no more reasons left to smile

Cuz my mojo's broken, and I ain't jokin'

Hasn't served me in a while

She ain't returnin', though my heart's yearnin'

For one more chance to reconcile

Dawn was breakin', my hands they were shakin'

I could see the light o’ day

I got to thinking, you know it might be my drinkin'

Lord, there's gotta be a better way

The dawn was breakin'; my heart it was achin'

There she stood across the track

My heart started poundin', trumpets were soundin'

I thought I just might get my baby back

Well my mojo’s workin', my coffee's perkin'

My baby's back here by my side

We're contemplatin' cohabitatin'

& I believe it's bonafide

Four in the mornin', down at the depot

My life had passed before my eyes

MARMALADE [MARMALADE CD]

Don’t be lonely there this morning, I'm comin' by in the afternoon

Don't be lonely there this morning, I'm slidin' by in the afternoon

If you're all lonely there this morning

I'll need more time to change your tune.

I'm gonna getcha, baby, I'm gonna take you for a ride

Sun is shinin' momma, ain't it pretty countryside

You and me together

That equals smiles we just can't hide

Don’t be lonely there this morning, I'm comin' by in the afternoon

No, don't be lonely there this morning, sugar, I'm slidin' by in the afternoon

If you're all lonely there this morning

I'll need more time to change your tune.

Well I understand the lonelies cuz I've been there before

If we put our sparks together, babe,

We won't be there no more, no no no no more

So let's just head out towards the country, we'll have a picnic in the shade

We'll strum each other's heart strings, I just can't wait to feel 'em played

I got to tell ya, darlin

There’s somethin’ bout your marmalade

So don’t be lonely there this morning, I'm comin' by in the afternoon

No, don't be lonely there this morning, I'm slidin' by in the afternoon

If you're all lonely there this morning

I'll need more time

I said I'm gonna take my time, yeah yeah yeah yeah

And change your tune

RIGHT WHERE YOU WANT ME [MARMALADE CD]

You got me right where you want me

All the lies that you told

United States of Confusion

Surely taken its toll

If you really got some answers

Time to let the whole world know

There’s a man in a trench coat

He's comin’ after my soul

He wants to ship it to China

With all the sludge & the oil

Ain’t no time to hold back answers

Time to let the whole world know

Hope you got the memo, babe, a little FYI

All this frickin’ frackin’s makin’ Mother Nature cry

She’s teamin’ up with Karma, I think you all know why

It's time to kiss your ass goodbye

There’s been a change in the weather

A little hot, little cold

The bottom line is your master

So down the river I’m sold

The wrath of Mother Nature’s comin’

Time to let the whole world know

You got me right where you want me

All the lies that you told

United States of Confusion

Surely taken its toll

The wrath of Mother Nature’s comin’…

Time to let the whole world know…

I said the wrath of Mother Nature’s comin’

Time to let the whole world know…

You know the wrath of Mother Nature's comin'

Time to let the whole world know

AIN'T NO GOOD COMIN' [MARMALADE CD] by Gus Gustafson

(performed by Sylvia Carroll and the Diddley Squat Blues Band)

Don't come back 'til you've had enough

I'm sick & tired of all your stuff

Spinnin' yarns & tellin' tales

Washin' down pills with imported ales

Why you stickin' that needle in your arm

Ain't no good comin', only harm

Lost your license, can't post bail

Your mind is mush, skin is pale

Now the judge is pointin' towards a padded cell

It matters not how loud you yell

Let's raise the flag, sound the alarm

Ain't no good comin', only harm

Your woman told me about your abuse

Said somethin' about your tiny fuse

Start with Dr. Jekyl, add alcohol

Mr. Hyde will heed the call

Let's raise the flag, sound the alarm

Ain't no good comin', only harm

It's time you put that shovel down

Can't find a smile, just one big frown

You've dug yourself a mighty hole

Cloudin' up your sickly soul

Let's raise the flag, sound the alarm

Ain't no good comin', only harm

Ain't no good comin', Ain't no good comin',

Ain't no good comin', Ain't no good comin'

Let's raise the flag, sound the alarm

Ain't no good comin', only harm

A STARSEED HEART, HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN - 29AUG2021 [GUS & LAV]

Verse#1:

[All] The loves of my past

They’ve all drifted away

Because of my actions

From other nights, & other days

Free-will’s a Bitch

She let me scratch my itch

[Then] In came Karma

Cuz I had to be shown

Now I know that my heart

“Zgotta” mind of its own,

Zgotta mind of its own…

Chorus/Bridge/Whatever:

I learned to be gentle

I learned to be kind

I learned what it means

To have peace of mind…

I’m just a collection

Of all these imperfections

But I get more ‘conscious’ every time

Verse#2:

Guess I lost my balance

No longer able to align…

I blame the ‘trickster’ shiftin’ shapes

Shiftin’ space & shiftin’ time…

Every incarnation

Towards a destination

To thine own self

I’ve gotta be true…

And now I know that my heart

Zgotta mind of its own,

It’s gonna see me through…

***INTERLUDE***

I learned to be gentle

I learned to be kind

I learned what it means

To have peace of mind

I’m just a collection

Of all these imperfections

But I get more ‘conscious’ every time

OUTRO:

Love is the answer

To every question in this world

That I can find…

Love is the answer

To every question in this world

That I can find…

[Yes] Love is the answer

To every question in this world [stop]

That I “CARE” to find… A-A-A-D

LIVE LONG & PROSPER

-------Harmonica INTRO-------“Oh Say Can You See”

We boldly go where we’re uninvited

Spreadin’ the love but its unrequited.

[You better] Beam me up Scotty

Help us find a better way

To get our message through

The “prime directive” we disregard

Starfleet’s pissed, & so’s Picard

Resistance is futile

We try to tell ‘em

Assimilation’s comin’

OH, the goods we sell em’, ya better…

Beam me up, Scotty,

Help us find a better way to get our message through

------Harmonica verse-----

People lied, & people died

Others were forced to pick a side

Let’s do like Bobby said & set up bleachers in the sun

Have the whole thing out there on Highway 61

Beam me up…..

Troubles seem many, but they’ve only just begun [only just bgn]

You’re askin’ me?

He’d probably beam us ALL up

Beam us up, Scotty, help us find a better way

To get our message through…

DeeNA

A song about my "D-N-A"

Oh DeeNA, my DeeNA

Such a Mystery

So many secrets

You seem to keep from me

I love you, I love you

With all my heart

Unveil your truths, DeeNA

We’ll have a new start, She said,

[CHORUS]

“Knock, the door will open

Seek, & you will find

Ask, you’ll get your answers

God is listenin’ all the time…”

DeeNA, my DeeNA

Such a Mystery

You spliced a pair

Now you’re 23

I thank the Universe

And the Pleiades

I thank the Heavens, DeeNA

That you’re here with ME…

---Short Interlude---

BRIDGE:

You know I want answers

So come what may…

When I pose the question, DeeNA

It’s when I hear you say…

[CHORUS; “You gotta knock…

Oh DeeNA, my DeeNA

I’ve waited soo long

Can’t go any further, DeeNA

It’s why I wrote you this song,

Every cell of my body

Every single day

Gonna see the light, DeeNA

Gonna hear you say…

“You gotta knock, the door will open

Seek, & you will find

Ask, you’ll get your answers

God is listenin’ all the time…

PACHAMAMA BLUES - 13JUNE2023

[A Parody to Sugar Mama Blues - Tampa Red version - 1934]

I wanna thank you Pachamama, for bein' so sweet to me

I wanna thank you Pachamama, for bein' so sweet to me

I'm just a clueless humanoid, Ya, and now I'm filled with misery...

The cracklin' of the lightnin', as the thunder starts to roll

Earthquakes & Tsunamis gonna swallow up my Soul

I feel the wrath of Pachamama, no longer bein' so sweet to me

I was a "hoodwinked" humanoid, Ya, but I regained my sovereignty...

Earth is a berry, sweet is the juice

Let's be nice to Mother Gaia, and STOP all this abuse

Get back to thankin' Pachamama, for bein' so sweet to me

I was a hoodwinked humanoid, Ya, but I regained my sovereignty...

The whales & dolphins try to wake us

It's time we heed the call

Humanity will perish, like Atlantis we will fall

It's time to thank you Pachamama, Ya, for bein' so sweet to me

Let us rejuvenate the planet, and we will live in harmony

I wanna live in harmony, we got to live in harmony

I wanna live in harmony, we got to live in harmony

I wanna live in harmony, we got to live in harmony

Sovereignty - 18AUG2024

A Parody of "Harmony"[1973] by: Elton John/Bernie Taupin

Hello, baby hello, haven't been to Planet Earth in awhile

Have you lost your Autonomy, is that why you're so angry & wild!?

Hello, I said hello, is Earth the only place you thought to go?

I can't imagine that it got soooo bad

Maybe this is really the end?... For all that you know oh oh ohoh ohhhhh

Sovereignty for me, is really a necessity... Lookin' for some freedom, ya, for all Humanity

Sovereignty, gee I really love ya, and I wanna hold on forever

I dream of, never never, never losin' sovereignty...

Hello, baby let's GO!  Open up your heart & let the freedom flow

I doubt you're really in to Tyranny... You were hoodwinked & now you know!

It's time to rise up and re-write the end of this show

Say hello & let's GO, Ahhhhhh ooh ah ah ahhhhhhhh

Sovereignty for me, is really a necessity... Lookin' for some freedom, ya, for all Humanity

Sovereignty, gee I really love ya, and I wanna hold on forever

I dream of, never never, never losin' sovereignty... Never losin' sovereignty

Sovereignty... Sovereignty... Sovereignty...  Ahhhhhh Ahhhhhhh
