TIME TO GET MY GUN [rocker] Cordelia, CA 1 July 2002

The situation's bad, it's time to get my gun I'm feelin' pretty mad, it's time to get my gun There's politicians lyin', and liars testifyin' And preachers should be fryin', it's time to get my gun - The time for talk is done, it's time to get my gun Won't do no good to run, it's time to get my gun The sandwich meat is old, the coffee's way too cold You won't do what you're told, it's time to get my gun - You're giving me a headache, it's time to get my gun You're keeping me awake, it's time to get my gun My brother is a dirtbag, my neighbor is a fat hag My yard is toxic slag, it's time to get my gun - The barber messed my haircut, it's time to get my gun TV's making me nutz, it's time to get my gun You're wearing too much pink, you dog's butt stinks, I don't like what you think, it's time to get my gun

The author wants to make it perfectly clear that it is not acceptable, nor is it a very good idea, to deal with any politician by shooting, melting, shredding, impaling, frying, lacerating, tar-and-feathering, horsewhipping, hanging/strangling, devouring, irradiating, drowning, or otherwise applying brute force to them. Such an approach wouldn't teach them anything, and their punishment would be much too brief.

SHE DREW CIRCLES [jangly] Volcano, CA 13 July 2002

She drew circles on his chest And connected the dots with magic Singing songs of love and magic And sweat and bloody tears And the circles smeared and ran - He drew triangles on her back And double lines between the vertices Shouting songs of fearsome and disease And pride and bloody pain And the promises fell like rain - She drew patterns on her hands With secret symbols glowing He drew pattern on her feet Blueprints for excavation And the patterns smeared and ran And the triangles fell like rain And the circles drowned in pain
