Green meadows
Green hills
Yellow daffodils
Laughter, love and smiles
Joy that lasts for miles
Romance dreamy free
Sang a song to me
Then reality returns
The fun fades away
The memory burns
Until my final day
Green meadows
Green hills
Yellow daffodils
Hand in hand
Yesterday
Now I'm groping through the tears
Till there’s nothing left to say

The conscious mind thinks it’s the Oval Office, when in reality it’s the press office.
–Jonathan Haidt
Pay attention when you’re angry
It can show you who you are
Find out where your hurting
By listening to your scars
A friend's girlfriend looks so hot
You wanna fill his gut with shot
One of your buddies at the bar
Just got a really awesome car
Somebody tells a stupid joke
And your head fills up with smoke
That singer dresses funny
Why should he have so much money?
Someone talks about a wedding
And you dream of their beheading
Take a deep breath
Wish everyone the best
Let it out slow
Try and let it go

Bombs are not the answer
And kindness isn’t bad
Caring for your neighbor
Is not a silly fad
Don’t let people tell you it’s just a dirty scheme
You can make a rainbow out of dandelion dreams
No more Golden Idols
No more worshipping machines
It’s time to tend the garden
And cook some healthy greens
Don’t let people tell you it’s just a dirty scheme
You can make a rainbow out of dandelion dreams
Time keeps gurgling on
No matter what you do
Pick a destination
And paddle your canoe
Don’t let people tell you it’s just a dirty scheme
You can make a rainbow out of dandelion dreams

Smashing into walls
Cuz you really like the view
Singing to your hatred
Cuz it loves you so true
I might pay a price for telling the truth
But it sure beats living a lie
Practicing your backstroke
Swimming in the gutter
Wearing your deception
A coat of many shudders
I might pay a price for telling the truth
But it sure beats living a lie
Self-preservation
Is the only thing you trust
Throwing friends and lovers
Underneath the bus
I might pay a price for telling the truth
But it sure beats living a lie
Inside out
Your pride is really shame
There's nothing left to hide
There's no one else to blame
I might pay a price for telling the truth
But it sure beats living a lie

She's got big dreams and small feelings
Treats me like potato peelings
I'm hung up on a woman
Who can't respect a man
Lobotomized accommodations
The sudden fall of mighty nations
I'm hung up on a woman
Who can't respect a man
Stupid people and stupid talking
Close my ears and just keep walking
I'm hung up on a woman
Who can't respect a man
Cheats and liars getting wealthy
Surrounded by so much unhealthy
I'm hung up on a woman
Who can't respect a man
Stop my crying. Stop my stinking
Time for me to clean my thinking
I don't need a woman
Who can't respect a man

You didn’t just break my heart
You broke the rest of me too
And then I spent a lifetime
Dreaming after you
Hoping for somebody
Exactly like you
You really felt like a vision
Too good to be true
You said I was fun
Instead of saying goodbye
You dismissed all my dreaming
In the breath of a sigh
I still know how to love
But I forgot how to fall
Another leap of faith
Could be the end of it all

Put your phones in the fridge
Cuz it’s time to tell the truth
They’re destroying our families
They violate our youth
They got teletype readers
And knuckleheaded minions
They made it illegal
To have an opinion
Politicians bought and sold
In the blink of a flash
They’d sell their mother’s soul
For a handful of cash
They mortgaged off the future
And partied like fools
Every 5 minutes
They make up new rules
They got as much honor
As the Easter Bunny
Now they wanna pay us back
With Monopoly money
You don’t have to read
About the fall of Rome
Just look what they did
To our beautiful Home

We wrote down recipes
And kept em in a box
Magic and Stockton
Had really long socks
Retromania
Boomer egomania
Singing in the rainia
On a plain in Spainia
The olden days
We're golden days
Bless those vintage bygone ways
Time to break the chainia
Pour it down the drainia
Before we go insania
With played out retromania
We sang some happy true songs
And broken-hearted blue songs
Now it's time for new songs
Time to break the chainia
Pour it down the drainia
Before we go insania
With played out retromania

You've been acting pretty odd
Just like a stupid needy Nimrod
Frustrating friends and your relations
With all your crazy expectations
I can’t paddle your canoe,
Wipe your nose and tie your shoe
Frustrating friends and your relations
With all your crazy expectations
You whine and then you whinny
Like you’re a goofy little ninny
Frustrating friends and your relations
With all your crazy expectations
Always jumping to conclusions
To support your lame delusions
Frustrating friends and your relations
With all your crazy expectations
Thinking truth is what you feel
Take a look at life for real
Frustrating friends and your relations
With all your crazy expectations
by Richard W. Bray
