All Day Long
Jac Lawson
All day long
hitchn rails and trains
from town to town
never know where I'm stayin
everywhr I go
there's people that I know
from bridges, rivers, trees, to groves
we talk awhile
I sit and smile
while the crickets chirp and sing my song
If you know it then please sing along
Rails and trains
hitchin down a rocky highway
here I stand
I may never be here again
while I am
here's a little song my friend
cause I may never see you again
All day long
on the move
while I squeal my tires to the radio groove
just a trampin
arubber trampin along
my car'd go fast
if I only had the gas
arubber trampin along
Flat tires, oil changes, runaway deer
pedal to the metal with nothing to fear
all around the states with a turn of the wheel
justa trampin along
yea rubber trampin along
[Note: spoken interlude: hey hey what triple a say?)
All day long
I'll hit the road
stickin it out til my thumb is cold
justa hitchn along
kickn rocks all day long
shoes ain't got soles
through the desert I did go
justa hitchn along
heavy frame pack breakin my back
still need water and some scooby snacks
seems im leavin endless tracks
searching for what my life lacks
just a hitchn along
a'roamin a'strong
[note: just my thoughts and some boot rot]
All day long
got nothin to do
so I sit with the blues and hit the booze
justa chugging
justa chuggin along
cold steel rack clickity clack
keeps my bad memories back
I'll keepa chuggin along
keepa chuggin along
life in a box with no time clocks
drinkin and chuggin as the train just rocks
left alone with all my thoughts
who gives a fuck if my liver rots
just a chuggin along
swillin swayin along
swillin swayin along
all the day long

Joan Of Arc (lyric copy)
Joan of Arc
Jac Lawson
Maybe I can't add but the math aint right
have her for a minute or me all night
maybe i'm wrong but if I were you
I'd have
Joan of arc to come home to
And ya
got a princess locked up there
whilea
down here sittin on the stairs
there's a
queen waiting for you to appear
and I
can't make the difference clear
that this
don't happen every year
and I
think I thought our friendship was strong
til I
saw you walking down the street with a blonde
but I
don't want you to think it's wrong
cause I
know exactly just where I belong
but I
thought you'd be more honest and true
anda
come straight to me with the news
cause in
some ways we're partners too
but I
don't want this to worry you
cause this
ain't my way of singing the blues
and
Maybe I can't add but the math ain't right
been sittin here waitin for you all night
and if you weren't so very wrong
you'd have
Joan of Arc sittin in your home
and
Ignore me while your in the lounge
but I'll
see you on the streets when you scrounge
and there
won't be tears running down
or the
slightest incling of any frown
cause I
know why your hangin 'round
and I
won't be a fool of a clown
and
Maybe I can't add but the math aint right
have her for a minute or me all night
maybe i'm wrong but if I were you
I'd have
Joan of arc to come home to
And I
saw you as you were walkin by
and I
whistled
but you couldn't say hi
and it's
ok for you to be that guy
but there
won't be wetness in my eyes
and it
won't be because I despise
the way ya
treat me cause it's no surprise
but I'll
let you live with all your lies
while I'm
still chasing my dreams in the skies
and
Maybe it ain't right
to cave without a fight
but its
no worse than waitin all night
for you ta
come on
strollin by
and if
you weren't so very wrong
you'd have JOan of Arc waitin your home
And yea baby I'm alright
knew you for a moment but this is my life
maybe I'm wrong
but I ain't blue
and I'm gunna love the king I choose
yea I'm gunna love the king I choose

Monsoon (working lyrics)
Monsoon
Jac Lawson
(CH:
when we're all vibin on one tune
that's when we'll begin to get through
we're coming together real soon
Gunna take down the big goon.
Don't drown in the monsoon
tears lost for those gone too soon
your life is not a cartoon
and it's time that they heard you)
Stop
Admire the scenery
My honey, hot chocolate, and hennesy
bring to me
a fantasy of possibilities
images of our time
together
how we would rhyme
together
talk about
the weather
and how if we could get it together
together we could rule it forever
wield the microphonic sceptre
real estate of the mind is where I want to begin
where I want to fit in
free choice
the original sin
understand what I say
when I say that one day
they'll lament the life that they let them take away
Save
knowledge in your brain
wave
not slaves
free
from birth to grave
awake
and take
back from the illuminated eye our reason to quake
it's high time
the power of the hive mind
made it prime time
and this is god
speaking to you
a deci ple'spew
a piece of the allspark blazing through
awake reborn
no time ta mourn
glare at our oppressors with unadulterated scorn
collective movement
collective boot kick
you better get real quick
and pick
which team you want to get with
future generations will say this is the best shit
to hit the pavement
the lukewarm outspit
so young or old
hot or cold
no spectators
hold your own
weigh the price of going
home
worth it's weight in
gold
I know
Sal va chun
it's close
(SubC:
So Don't drown in the monsoon
tears lost for those gone too soon
fret not, we've not forgot you
those name's engraved on the wall too)
Gotta stand up together
fight together
love together
shelter our souls from the stormy weather
some die
no hater
just nature
coming together to make the world greater
left to God
problem solved
pause
wait
we are god
take the rod
and quantum rule as a dirt clod
and don't let them tell you what is right
cause deep in your mind is a fairy truth sprite
a spark of light
free from sin
a remembrance of the image we are created in
Above
astrial kiss
Love
just a vibration we're all capable of
(CH:
and when we're all vibin on one tune
that's when we begin to get through
it's coming down real soon
let's take on the big goon.
Don't drown in the monsoon
tears lost for those gone too soon
fret not we've not forgot you
those names engraved on the wall too
and when we're all vibin on one tune
our lotus begin to soon bloom
overtakin the big goon
let's smash up the bored room)

Mighty Clown (working lyrics)
Mighty Clown
Jac Lawson
(37)
(47)
Life's a game
know all the rules
use your available tools
and that's exactly what we'll do
A slow take over while playin the fool
oh upside down we'll turn that frown
and clown around
yea clown around
oh clown around all over town
and upside down we'll turn the frown
(1:09)
nothing
could ever be better than
laughter
desguisin whatever I'm
after
giggling green sham shaft yea
the ole up and down from the clown
no we're not playing around
drivin it home with the clown
the ole up and down from the clown
clown around
all over town
and with the clown
we'll take 'em down
though the world
sits afestern
there's alway lovin
for the jestin
powr o the clown
took em all down
without a frown
and when it goes down
you know it was the clown
power of the clown
took em all down
without a frown
power to the clown
(2:15)
I hope you can hear us all laughing
while all the tradegys happenin
with everyone leering and cheering
I can't understand what your fearing
nothing is better than laughing
to hide all my dastardly snatching
with the sly grin of the clown
the wicked wry grin of the clown (2:37)
let's take em out
without a doubt
we've got the clout
and all around will hail the clown
the simple fool they gave the crown
and the world
we'll take em down
just like the town
with the mighty clown(out 2:58)
powr o the clown
took all em down
without a frown
and when it goes down
you know it was the clown
the mighty clown
took all em down
powr to the clown
and when it goes down
you know it was the clown
no,
there's no time
you can't even hide
your face from the clown
life's no game
break all the rules
and play the unsuspected fool
we won't ever lose our cool
just laugh and sing while the fallen mewl
oh upside down we'll turn the frown
the mighty clown's
always around
without a doubt
we've got the clout
and all around
will hail the clown

Big Bad (workin lyric copy)
BigBad
Jac Lawson
screechin tires and flashing lights
never give in without a fight
hold on with all your might
to what you know is right
in the big bad world
in the big bad world
(note: sub wild wild world)
never runnin from the law
never doin any wrong
cause I ain't no outlaw
scream and shout til my throat is raw
at the big bad mean
at the big bad mean
and I won't be Jessie James
and you'll never know my name
just someone who was taught
that you morals can't be bought
by the big bad green
by the big bad green
by the big bad green
(note: sub greasy greedy green)
started runnin from the law
it didn't take em very long
til they came on wicked strong
with the big bad blue
with the big bad blue
with the big bad blue
(note: sub bastards in the blue)
and your freedom seems so far
when your trapped behind the bars
cause you fought without a pause
for the just and righteous cause
against the big bad wrong
against the big bad wrong
against the big bad wrong
(note: sub willful wicked wrong?)
and I might be Jessie James
and you'll wish you knew my name
I'm just a child of a original thought
whose silence couldn't be bought
by the big bad green
by the big bad green
(note: sub greasy greedy green)
I keep on runnin from the law
always lookin for a brawl
gunna be a big outlaw
scream and shout til my throat is raw
at the big bad blue
at the big bad blue
at the big bad blue
(note: sub bastards in the blue)
Now I'm bigger than Jessie James
and you all know my name
gunna but 'em all to shame
with the way I play my game
with the big bad blue, as the big bad mean
(yea the bastards in the blue, bring on the other team)
I'm always runnin from the law
gunna keep 'em very far
from your superstar outlaw
won't catch me til I fall
Cause I'm the big bad mean
Yea I'm the big bad mean
and who knew it'd end this way
that i'd die with all this fame
as you scream and shout my name
Cause I'm the big bad mean
Yea I'm the big bad mean

thoughts about writing music and stuff
Wondering where I should begin to post song lyrics...blogger? fb? gplus? too many options....hmmm....i dunno....starting to tget a system together again...i just don't want to be too involved in the web game again....got a lot going on at the farm and making music is a constant obsession....I often found that i would grind to a halt with visual art due to some sort of hang up about supplies (I subconsciously avoid painting when I get the little tubes because I think I am going to run out..or not get more..and not be able to express myself....stupid eh? hook my head and laughed at my own irony when I realized this..) but music creation..man that is something totally different...just have my brain..that's all i need too...maybe a notebook if I want to write it down..but in the end...I am a contained studio...but sometimes I find that there are too many options to take something and picking a definite can be hard..I have also found that although I usually have no problem letting someone help me write a song (I had a wonderful time with cheepha workin on our psa track.....an original from me collaborated and polished with cheepha) but it seems that other people usually have a problem being creatively flexible...can't even listen to an idea or thought direction... maybe they only find sharing and collaboration enjoyable if they are contributing and feel violated when the situation is reversed...i dunno..i just keep writing...
