I'm at the tip of the top There's a pep in my step I got the hippity hop Winning all of my bets I’m hanging on a hope Met a special sort of friend I’m such a silly old dope Am I falling again? Gonna get a new start I’m so happy I could scream For the bounce in my heart And the sparkle in my dreams I’m hanging on a hope Met a special sort of friend I’m such a silly old dope Am I falling again?

Please don't be crazy You got such a pretty smile Don’t tell me you keep critters To feed your crocodile Please don’t be crazy I’m trying to relate Please don’t slice me open And cut me up for bait Please don’t be crazy You’re so fun to have around Don’t fret and fuss and fight And make my life a battleground Please don’t be crazy When shoes begin to drop Don’t get up in my business Like a homicide cop Please don’t be crazy You got such a pretty smile Let’s take it slow and easy And just talk for a while Let’s take it slow and easy And just talk for a while Please don’t be crazy

You don’t want to rock the boat
You always fall in line
It’s easy to fit in
When you never have a spine
I’ll keep being me
With my kooky company
The nerdy misfit freakshow
And our crazy crackpot crew
The weirdo wacko zany ones
Just doing what we do
Do what other people do
Affirming the consensus
Eliminate what makes you true
Until you lose your senses
I’ll keep being me
With my kooky company
The nerdy misfit freakshow
And our crazy crackpot crew
The weirdo wacko zany ones
Just doing what we do

Madly here we go again Making war to feel like men All the suffering in the world Inflicted on a little girl Everyone you boss around All the people you push down The hateful hunger to control Lord, it takes a mighty toll Disparage everything they do Cuz everyone should be like you That’s how a tyrant runs his home Cutting children to the bone Everyone you boss around All the people you push down The hateful hunger to control Lord, it takes a mighty toll Squeezing every single dime From their labor and their time That’s what production’s all about Plug 'em in and turn it out Everyone you boss around All the people you push down The hateful hunger to control Lord, it takes a mighty toll By Richard W. Bray
Your skin changes color
What a marvelous tongue
You warm me all over
When we’re sitting in the sun
Your nictitating membrane
Really makes me wanna sin
When you slither all around me
You know I always shed my skin
We could raise a brood of geckos
On grasshoppers and kale
Dig a hole for your eggs, dear
I’ll even grow a new tail
If you’ll be my little mamba
I’ll be a happy crocodile
Fending off a thousand vipers
Just to see your scaly smile
By Richard W. Bray
From thought and love and rhyme
To frontiers of space and time
From a mosque in Timbuktu
To the Dome of Xanadu
From protecting son and daughter
To industrialized slaughter
From a monkey standing tall
To the beast that wants it all

Rumble dumble day
Go outside and play
The sun is shining bright
Bask in your delight
Wimble wamble wee
Investigate a tree
Run around till dark
Explore your local park
Dimble damble door
Open up your pores
Listen to the world
It sings to boys and girls
By Richard W. Bray
Life isn’t fair
Everyone agrees
Don’t put your angry on me
Sorry bout your temper
And your bonnet full of bees
Don’t put your angry on me
Take a deep breath
And have a cup of tea
Don’t put your angry on me
Journey to the park
And climb the biggest tree
Don’t put your angry on me
Watch a funny movie
And laugh until you pee
Don’t put your angry on me
Rage is a prison
Set your spirit free
Don’t put your angry on me
by Richard W. Bray
Bullies are angry
Bullies are mean
They gotta put you down
To empty their spleen
Bullies wanna conquer
Bullies divide
Spreading round the hurt
Cuz they’re broken inside
Bullies disarrange things
Bullies hurt your health
Every single bully feels
Sad for themself
