FREE ROCK AND ROLL! Standing in line like a bunch of sheep… Waiting for the slaughter to come How in the hell did we all get here? Remember where we’re from It ain’t over till we all lay down Is that what you wanna do? Don’t tread on me or my liberty ‘Cause Mama didn’t raise no fool Not giving in to the evil minds Who wanna tell me how to think How does it end?…Just a matter of time Release is on the brink…Now I’m CHORUS Free…To live forever ‘Cause somebody paid the price Free…I’ve got to sever The ties to a former life I learned my lesson…Can’t be messin’ With my God given right to dream ‘Cause I’m Free… I remember when we used to soar Like eagles in an open sky Living like Kings who would last forever And nobody asking why Then something happened in name of love But it wasn’t love at all We all went soft and they carried us off And perfect was the fall Freedom’s comin’ and I don’t know when But there’s a rumor underground It ain’t no time to be givin’ in ‘Cause I’m not going down…Now I’m CHORUS Free…To live forever ‘Cause somebody paid the price Free…I’ve got to sever The ties to a former life I learned my lesson…Can’t be messin’ With my God given right to dream ‘Cause I’m Free… BRIDGE Don’t be fooled by the lyin’ news It’s anywhere the wind blows You gotta dig deep if you really wanna see The truth is there to know SOLO Not giving in to the evil minds Who wanna tell me how to think How does it end?…Just a matter of time Release could be in sight…Now I’m CHORUS CHORUS For all the survivors of the Holocaust © 2020 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Balls To The Walls 03:23

BALLS TO THE WALLS Maybe I’m old…I can still be bold My generation started rock n roll No mamby pamby nurotic Nancy Givin’ you a shot straight to the soul I’ll shock a few of yuh when I rock it to thu CHORUS Balls to the walls…I’ll be layin’ it down Balls to the walls…I like that heavy sound Balls to the walls…On familiar ground Balls to the walls No solution for these angry hearts All we do now is rip each other apart Got no forgiveness…Can we live with this? Just accept it…Maybe that’s a start I got to use it…Put it all to music CHORUS BRIDGE Back in the day we had somethin’ to say You could hear it in the songs we’d play There was peace and love and brotherhood Rock n roll stood for somethin’ good No defeating a message with a beat It made you wanna dance in the street A different time…It’s such a crime We can’t get back to a better rhyme SOLO Here we are with the same old scars Singin’ songs and drivin’ hot rod cars Same ol’ passion…Brand new fashion Chasin’ love …Still lookin’ for action Crank it up loud…Gotta thrill the crowd CHORUS Balls to the walls…I’ll be layin’ it down Balls to the walls…I like that heavy sound Balls to the walls…On familiar ground Balls to the walls CHORUS © 2020 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

How Deep? 04:43
lyrics

HOW DEEP? You tell me you love with all your heart I wanna believe what you say But down inside that nagging thought… Can anyone care that way? Everybody does what they want to do It’s just a different point of view So I just have to ask You?… Would you wrap your arms around my soul?… And keep me safe and warm Speak to me so I can know You’ll shelter me from the storm I’ve tried to be what you want me to So tell me how to make it through I just want to ask You?… CHORUS How deep will you go…To keep us both alive? ‘Cause I need to know…You’ll always be by my side How can I erase…Every mistake? How long will it take…Till we survive? BRIDGE Sending up a prayer with an open mind Looking for an answer I’m hoping to find Maybe I’ve been wrong for loving all along But I don’t think that’s true… I’ve got to hear from You… SOLO Tell me what you really want from me And all my fears will never be Don’t you long to ask me? CHORUS How deep will I go…To keep us both alive? I want you to know…I’ll gladly be by your side Could you just erase…Every mistake? Whatever it will take…Till we survive CHORUS How deep can we go…To keep us both alive? We both need to know…We’ll always be side by side We can just erase…Every mistake As long as it may take…Till we survive How deep can we go? © 2020 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

CAN’T STOP THE FEELIN’ Every time I think of you…There’s hope Every day it’s something new…I know Then my heart takes over…And reason goes away Standing in your presence…I don’t know what… To say…But I CHORUS Cant’ stop the feelin’ Got so much more offer…Only if you’re willin’ Can’t stop the feelin’ Not over till it’s over…Gonna be fulfilling Just like a song…Our love is strong Hold your breath ‘cause it’s thrillin’ Can’t stop the feelin’ There’s a way for us to win…Agreed I don’t plan on giving in…To defeat You’re the inspiration…For everything I choose If we stick together…There ain’t no way… To lose…‘Cause I CHORUS Musical interlude Time is of the essence…We need to make it count Every good decision…Another answer found… And I CHORUS © 2020 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

A New Plan 05:41
lyrics

A NEW PLAN Lay it on the line…Don’t you pull no punches Stab me in the heart but just give me something real Throw away your script…Can you tell me plainly? What you really think…Or just show me how you feel Just show me how you feel… Don’t you know everybody’s watching To see what you’ll do next Living ain’t just a bunch of Tommy knocking You can’t spook me with a hex And you can’t fool me with a text CHORUS I’m talkin’ ‘bout a new plan…Understand The old one ain’t working too good Making a commitment to no descent And listen like I really should Hoping you’ll join the caravan It’s a new plan If we play along it’s the same old story Throw away the cards and demand a brand new game We don’t have to lose ‘cause the winning’s easy If we speak the truth then there ain’t no one to blame There ain’t no one to blame Don’t you know everybody’s hoping That someone changes everything? Trying with no way of really knowing What each new day is gonna bring We got to have a reason to sing CHORUS CHORUS © 2020 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

TWO STEPS BACK From a baby we’ve been taught we gotta lose I’m here to set the record straight…We get to choose If you’re gonna win gotta change your mind You gotta fight battles with truth all of the time CHORUS I’m going three steps forward…Two steps back I’m gonna fight the horror…Takin’ no flack I’m so sick and tired of playin’ loser games But starting today I’m gonna make a change I’m going three steps forward…Two steps back Everybody’s got their own decisions to make And then decide on how much abuse you can take It ain’t so easy when you stand alone You gotta believe in your choice and hold your own CHORUS I’m going three steps forward…Two steps back I’m gonna leave my sorrow…Find a new track I don’t have to be what anybody says I’m fine and I’m not gonna second guess I’m going three steps forward…Two steps back BRIDGE Moving ahead…Never looking back Confidence instead…As you lead the attack Don’t let fear get a hold on you You know what you gotta do SOLO When people resist you can not regress You gotta keep moving till you know You’re making progress CHORUS I’m going three steps forward…Two steps back I’m gonna keep my morals…Live in my shack I’m gonna love everyone as much as I can And spend my time just working God’s plan I’m going three steps forward…Two steps back (Three steps forward) Two steps back (Three steps forward) Two steps back (Three steps forward) Two steps back (Three steps forwant) Two steps ba-ah-ah-ack © 2020 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Resistence Is Futile 04:56
lyrics

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE Political correctness…Is bringing me down Don’t try to tell me I’m wrong…Not coming around The woke folks everywhere need to go back to sleep And stop tryin’ to tell me what I need But still they keep on talkin’ that line I’ve heard it all before…But talk is cheap CHORUS Resistance is futile…What the hell do I know? I feel like a reptile…In the falling snow Say anything you want but I’m not about to change I am perfectly content with just being strange… You say somebody hurt you…Well that’s me too You got to stand up for yourself…And see what’s true Sometimes it’s all too much…You gotta just cry inside And don’t let anybody steal your pride You’re the one who makes the choice You need to see yourself…In a different light CHORUS BRIDGE Maybe you can call me a dinosaur Baby I remember when a man could be sure Now it’s a problem when you say hello Only puttin’ on a show…Some of this has got to go SOLO You can talk till Kingdom come Ain’t gonna change a thing…So I sing CHORUS © 2020 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

The Payoff 04:50

THE PAYOFF The fix is in…We’ll never have a say again Look the other way…And get ready for the spin How do I pretend that I don’t see? Somebody tell me…What’s in it for me? It’s just a circus (Hurry hurry step right up) Somebody save us (Two for the price of one) I don’t understand how to be… How can I still be free?… CHORUS Looking for the payoff…What this really means Can you even see the end result of your greed? I’m just a Hippy…All about Peace Love and Rock and Roll And I’m not gonna lose my soul The die is cast…We’re never gonna vote to change Got to get away…‘Cause normal don’t remain How can I defend this way of life? We need a Godsend…To see the light It’s just a free show (Hurry hurry get your shot) And if you wanna go (Coming if you‘re ready or not) I just want to keep what I have… Tell me is that so bad?… CHORUS SOLO It’s nineteen eighty-four (Everybody be afraid) No free thought anymore (Careful what you say) Don’t let them see you pray… Can we turn this madness away?… CHORUS Looking for the payoff…What this really means Can you even see the end result of your greed? I’m still a Hippy…Still about Peace Love and Rock and Roll And I’m not gonna lose my soul © 2020 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Acceptance 04:23

ACCEPTANCE Guess I finally reached acceptance There are things that I can’t change If I live or if I die… The world will still remain But I found you…And now all I wanna do Is enjoy what little time I have left And I ain’t done yet… There are many circumstances That surround us every day And we have no way of knowing Which effect will have it’s way And the choice is…Not to be controlled by it Because love will surely triumph in the end It’s always been BRIDGE People in your life will come and go But you’re the one I choose to really know All the deepest part of me Every secret no one else can see Truest of affections I can show you… SOLO After all is said and done We will still be hand in hand ‘Cause what we have is bigger Than the problems in our path No Denial…We will stand through every trial ‘Cause we have a love that no one can deny It’s from the sky… And eye to eye… © 2020 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

about

This is a collection of mine and others' impressions of the current political climate since the 2020 election. I tried to represent all sides, although I tend to lean right. Having said that, I am completely independent. GOD doesn't belong to a party; neither do I...I have GOD's love for all of you : ) MJT
