Two new songs that will be performed at PH3 on September 7

Current mood:awake

"Our own ground" to the tune of "Long way around" by the Dixie Chicks

My friends from high school
Killed or got killed in Veet-Nam
Screwed by the VA
Gettin' the shaft where the sun don't shine
But I could never swallow
No, I I could never swallow

I hit the highway
Woodstock, Big Sur and Atitlan.
Lived in Morrocco
In a sleeping bag I got for cigarette stamps.
My Dad's a long time gone now
If not for the smokes he might still be around
So I quit the devil weed somehow…

Standin' on my ground
Standin' my own ground
Standin' on my ground
Standin' on my own ground

I met the video freaksters
Jerry Moonbeam Brown and Grandpa Munster Al
Hung with the squatters
Beat the Time Warner goons in a federal suit

Oh, I could never swallow
No, I I could never swallow

It's been six long years now
Since the Word Trade Center came crashing down
But I always knew it was Bush somehow

Takin' the World Trade
Takin' the World Trade down
Takin' the World Trade
Takin' the World Trade down and down and down and down…

So we got our asses out of that town
Never expecting what we found

Well, I fought with a Gitter and I took some shit
I shot off my mouth and I made it stick
It can get pretty lonely when you stick out your neck
Guess I could have been appeaser but what the heck

Oh, I… could never swallow
No, I… I could never swallow

Karen and me we took to the hills
We bought us a farm and we settled down
If you ever want to find us we can still be found

Standin' on our ground
Standin' on our own ground
Standin' on our ground
Standin' on our own ground

Shandaken (to the tune of Green Acres)

Shan-daken is the place to be
Pro-tected by the DEP
Sniff-ing pine cones really gets me high
Fuck Dean Gitter just gimme some country pie.

No! Belleayre is where I'd rather stay
I'm allergic to the CHA
I just adore my algae wrap
Starbucks coffee and any old chain mall crap.

Da Da Da Da Da
The Stars!
Da Da Da Da Da
The Spas!
Da Da Da Da Da
The Bears!
Da Da Da Da Da
Who cares?

You are insane!
Goodbye, Mrs. Jane
Shandaken we are there!

Da Da Da Dum Dum
Da Da Da Dum Dum
Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da

Bum Bum!
