Track Name: To My Family
I love you more than peanut butter
Pizza, steak or cheese -
Football, golf, my favorite putter
A gentle Summer breeze.

Tales of flying and other stories
Sunset by the sea -
Roses, iris, morning glory
Coffee, cookies, tea.

Butter almond, Godiva bars
Films of yesteryear -
Saxophones and speedy cars
Coke and ginger beer.

~

And if I smoked or drank or chewed
Or took things even worse -
For you I'd never more get stewed
For you I'd shake the curse.

To give up all these things so fine
My future and my past -
Of all that makes this life of mine
You would be the last.
Track Name: Scottish Young Lad
Up in the highlands a Scottish Young Lad
Played on his pipes and he drank all he had -
Happy was he with the life he had found
Perfect was he with his ale and his sounds

Down in the valley he squandered his gold
Nie kept an eye on himself down the road -
troubles he say are not up to you
No sense in worryin' 'bout what you can't choose.

Rise in the morn and into the day
Ride until dawn when the sun fades away -
Horseback was he his hair the wind blow
Horseback was he with his best friend below.

Fall he did once fall he did thrice
Quick to his feet and on with his life -
Troubles he say are not up to yo
No sense in worryin' 'bout what you cant choose.

Up in the highlands a Scottish old man
Played on his pipes and he drank all he can -
Perfect was he with his ale and his sounds
Happy was he with the life he had found.
Track Name: Anything
Take what I got, got what I need
Straight from your mouth to the hand that feeds
Just who do you think you are?
Doing what you're doing to me?
Just who the hell do you think you are?
You're not the king of me
You're not the king of anything.

Go where I walk, walk where I go
Walking here to there, walking here from toe(?)
Just who do you think you are?
Doing what you're doing to me?
Anything.
Track Name: Great Change Is At Hand
Woke this morn' on the public floor alone
Made my walk along the shore to home
Alas my house had burned down to the ground!
O, what should I do?
I got no place to go, and I got no food -

My prayers they were answered by a man
He spoke of wine and women around the world
Upon his sailing ship I climbed aboard
And now, hoist up the mainsail!
The storm has passed and our enemy is in view -

The horn of Africa we round by sea
Clouds and wind upon us - a storm
Our ship was struck and wounded and sunk down
O, I swam to survive!
And through the crashing waves I stayed alive -

Woke this morn' on a island beach alone ...
Track Name: Venus Project
We got trains that go 4,000 miles an hour
Cars with sonar, you can't crash 'em if you try
No money to spend - there's no punching in

We got 'bots that do the most intricate surgeries
Life expectancy increased to 4,000 years
Its not just the trains - its never just the trains

We got energy from the sun
Tidal and the waves and the geothermal action
For all human kind - it doesn't matter which kind
of human you are

We got no money, politics, religion
Those were false institutions
Fucking up the world
Fucking up our word

We got technologies of the finest qualities
It does the work, us humans are all free
To do as we please - the humans are free!

We got a resource based, crime-free economy
Profit margins lost their meaning 4,000 years ago
(The humans are free)
How couldn't you see?
We do as we please
Track Name: Across The Universe
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind -
Possessing and caressing me.

Jai Guru Deva. Om
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light, which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box -
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.

Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my opened ears
Inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns -
It calls me on and on across the universe
