GOD By Mychael John Thomas GOD…where do you live? What can you give me in the way Of understanding what is right? ‘Cause GOD everyone just wants to fight About YOU GOD…how do I know? Where can I go to find that way That I’ve heard so much about? ‘Cause GOD seems like I’m dying here without Feeling YOU BRIDGE And I mean no disrespect When I’m seeming to dissect Every thought…every word In fact everything I’ve heard Only leads to more unknown Won’t YOU help me to get home ‘Cause I’m lost…I’m confused And I’m searching still for you GOD…when will I die? Wondering why it must be so? Wish YOU’D show me what I need ‘Cause GOD every day my heart will bleed For the truth…GOD ©2012 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Outrage! 04:49
OUTRAGE!!! By Mychael John Thomas We got main street and wall street and easy street and sleazy street But what about the little guy who’s livin’ on the back street He’s runnin’ outta hope, and she’s runnin’ outta time And everybody lies, and everybody lies!! CHORUS It’s an OUTRAGE!!! It’s just an OUTRAGE!!! Well I grew up in the ‘60s when they used to call up Hippies And we spent our time singin’ ‘bout peace, love, and brotherhood But it didn’t do us any good ‘cause Hippies turned to Yuppies Now it’s all about the money, and it’s all about the money!!! CHORUS Now we’ve all got kids, and they’re internet savvy But they’re all unhappy ‘cause they just want everything And they can’t get anything ‘cause there ain’t no jobs So they live like slobs and become an angry mob!! CHORUS Somebody say…I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore Now some of my friends had four O one Ks But they dwindled all away ‘cause somebody stole the money ‘Cause the top dogs always take advantage of the dreamers ‘Cause they’re liars and they’re schemers still payin’ for their beamers!! I’m gettin’ so sick an’ tired of people whinin’ ‘bout their problems ‘Cause together we could solve ‘em if the priests and politicians Would just make some good decisions and then tell us all the truth But they all keep lyin’, and we ALL keep lyin’!! CHORUS Somebody say…I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore Everybody say…I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore (Breakdown) Well now every new president is all about change But that's all that's left over when all the bills are paid Then they say if we spend another several hundred billion Then we'll all make a killin, then we'll ALL make a killin'!! CHORUS Somebody say…I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore Everybody say…I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore One more time…I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore ©2008 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

ALONE IN THE CITY By Mychael John Thomas It’s so cold alone in the city There are only strangers in this place It's so cold alone in the city How I long to see your angel face BRIDGE I know it isn’t right but I steal away each night Drowning tears and wishing you were here Getting way too high till I think I wanna die What am I gonna do here without you? It’s so cold alone in the city Lonely eyes reveal this broken heart I don't know no one in this city Only empty faces in the dark (SOLO) BRIDGE II Four A M again and I don't know where I’ve been But there’s an empty bottle on my floor I only know you're gone and there’s pain from dawn till dawn How can I make it through here without you It’s so cold alone in the city People all around me they don’t know How alone I am in this city Baby how'd I ever let you go? ©1979/2008 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

SELL THE MEMORIES By Mychael John Thomas In the beginning it was sweeter than honey But sooner or later it’s all about the money She said I need a God fearin’ man of ability One who can offer me financial stability I said baby you know better than that Havin’ true love don’t always mean your wallet’s fat She couldn’t dig it so she said goodbye And I ain't gonna spend no more time wonderin’ why CHORUS IF THE WITCH WON'T STAY...Sell the memories (4) She said you’re sexy and you turn me on I want your body but I need you to leave me alone I think I love you but I just don't know... I know I’m wrong but I just can't let you go Then she tried to make me mad so I’d be the one to say Goodbye…But I can't do it that way I let her be the one to cut that line And now I sing conviction in every rhyme CHORUS She said she really had issues with control It don’t take too long for that to get old I hung in there with her as long as I could But I could see that it wasn’t gonna turn out good I cut my losses and decided to let her run I must admit takin’ her out woulda been more fun But I rolled the dice and this is where they landed I walk away empty hearted but not empty handed CHORUS CHORUS SOLO “Ooh Baby what’s this thing?” “That’s a Sitar Baby” I said, “It’s an Indian thang” Her Moma said, “Why you wanna do that for?… Why you wanna do that for? ” My mama always said you can't get blood from a stone But I keep tryin’…I still keep rockin’ on I guess I can't stop believing’ in people But at times I must confess some of them are just evil So one more good time in a melody One more dream that true love is gonna come to me And now I’ll just go on singin’ my songs Even if it means I have to sing it alone CHORUS CHORUS “Why you wanna do that for?” “Because…I like it” Huh…Huh! Sell the memories… Sell the memories… Sell the memories… “Why you wanna do that for?” ©2008 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Don't Know 03:57
DON’T KNOW By Mychael John Thomas Testimony: “ I used to suffer from Depression, Anxiety, Fear, Stress…ANGER! But my physician put me on S-T-U-P-I-F-Y…and now I don’t feel nothing’…” CHORUS I don’t know how you feel…nothing is real But what’s in my mind I just cannot relate…to all of your hate So don’t waste my time You spend so much of your time complaining I’m still wondering why While the world is all yours for taking Just take a look at it with open eyes CHORUS You’re letting someone else do your thinking Why not think for yourself? Sitting home all alone and drinking Slowly dying in your living hell CHORUS CHORUS I don’t know what you want…you had it all Ya let it slip away I would help get it back…but you just attack Everything I say ©2012 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

A HUM IN MY BRAIN By Mychael John Thomas Lately I’ve been having strange thoughts Been spending way too much time alone And I try to make it better for naught Getting harder to go on And my mind is getting cloudy And I’m talking to myself I have questioned my reality Till I have no answers left CHORUS I see faces in the shadows It could make a crazy man go insane I hear voices in the attic Or is it just a hum in my brain Maybe I think somebody told me That if I think then therefore I am But I think nobody really knows me And all this thinking is wearin’ me down But sometimes I hear the music Like a symphony in my head And I know if I don’t use it Then I might as well be dead CHORUS BRIDGE So I turn it up loud…try to drown in the sound Instead of my misery I won’t give in…to the fear that is tempting me To give up completely SOLO CHORUS ©2012 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

TAKE ME TO VENUS TONIGHT By Mychael John Thomas Do you sometimes feel like a stranger In the universe? Like there’s no real meaning to anything Or maybe even worse There’s no love in the heart And no two people can be a part of each other CHORUS Well I once read a book that said all men are Martians And women are from Venus (they don’t get us) But I don’t feel anything alien when I look into your eyes And even if I’m wrong…well take me to Venus tonight Now I don’t know anyone who’s never Wished upon a star Or gazed into God’s Heavenly sky And wonder is He there? Then you meet that someone And suddenly you know that true love holds this world together CHORUS BRIDGE Because love is elemental…the nucleus is us And the gravity of relationship is trust SOLO CHORUS ©2012 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Clean It Up 03:58
CLEAN IT UP By Mychael John Thomas The sky was brown when I went out today It made me feel I couldn’t think And all around me were the kindred minds Of spirits crying out like me CHORUS CLEAN IT UP! No new clear dawn is rising from the Mouth of progress speaking covers up the sun The answer shines behind a cloud of lies Our children need some cleaner to breathe Ah ah oh oh…ahahahah oh (2) Electricity runs along the power lines Black diamonds burning at the start Is luxury really worth the price we pay While from true light we stand apart? BRIDGE Solarge is the answer… But it’s harder to see it every day How long is our future?… Just open your eyes…Look in the sky… IT’S DIRTY! Ah ah oh oh…ahahahah oh (2) CHORUS Ah ah oh oh…ahahahah oh (2) CLEAN IT UP! ©2012 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

MY ELECTRIC SHIP By Mychael John Thomas The sun is like a million lights upon the waves They beckon us to set our course for center stage Sail with me your hopes and dreams Will all come true tonight CHORUS If you will ride my electric ship Won’t you ride my electric ship And when the sun begins to fade the stars will sing The sound will cause the soul to fly with Angel’s wings Through the sea of melody To reach the song inside CHORUS BRIDGE Sailing for new heights above… Trailing a new life for us in His Electric Love SOLO If you will ride my electric ship…won’t you ride… So come with me and let the voyage of love begin I’ll take you to a peaceful shore you’ve never seen I can play the hurt away Your heart won’t need to hide CHORUS © 1980/1992 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Endorphonia 06:21
ENDORPHONIA By Mychael John Thomas I feel the rush of the senses There’s a sound in my heart A song in my soul the creative flow Is taking me over I know that Heaven is near me There is peace in my life The music will come in perfect freedom Like the kiss of a lover CHORUS There is no pain…Only love to gain Give in to the joy and breathe You hear the truth…It embraces you Become what you’re meant to be It’s Endorphonia In our attempted expression Oft we fumble with words In music we play the things we can’t say The art is created And we offer with passion Hoping someone will know The message we bring will cause them to sing Of it all we’ve related CHORUS SOLO CHORUS I can feel the heat…running to your beat I can feel the heat…running to your beat ©2012 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

CELESTIAL MELODIES By Mychael John Thomas In the eye of a storm the idea is born To tune it’s laid It’s hazily formed but it could be the one To make the save Someone very close is crying out to be heard Lost in seas of millions all awaiting a word Waiting for the comfort of your melodies of love My heart is your home my love is a song When you are there The feeling is pure the meaning is clearly Everywhere Listen to the harmonies the angels have made Beautifully caressing every note that I’ve played Sounding out the rapture of your melodies of love CHORUS And when the music’s over…Who will I be? What is the answer for me? There’s a billion questions on my mind Could You take the time to play for me Some celestial melodies SOLO CHORUS And when the music’s over…Who will I be? What is the answer for me? There’s a trillion questions on my mind Every time You save me Every take You play for me Your celestial melodies © 1980/2002 Mychael John Thomas, BMI
