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

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

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?

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?”

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

A Hum In My Brain

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

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

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!

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

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

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
