Spirit of ’76 Lyrics

19 ContributorsSpirit of ’76 LyricsThe Flyers beat the Reds fair and square
While up the coast some fled the devil’s lair
An heiress was into her irons thrown
While the family feuds exploded in our homes
Moon collapsed in The Garden
Vikings looted the plains
Spirit of '76
We were such a tender age
The Mohican swore he would get organized
To clean the war forever from his mind
A farmer came with peanuts in his hand
Then wept a bit while waltzing to the band
Moon collapsed in the garden
Vikings looted the plains
Spirit of '76
We were such a tender age
Uh
Moon collapsed in the garden
Vikings looted the plains
Spirit of '76
We were such a tender age
Moon collapsed in the garden
Vikings looted the plains
Spirit of '76
We were such a tender age

How to Shake Hands Lyrics

[Intro]
Are you cool?
Well, I'm cool
Is everybody cool?
Well, let's get hot
Grass roots
All across this great nation
And I am truly humbled
And gratefully accept the nomination
[Verse 1]
I'm gonna be president
Of the United States
First Tuesday in November
Mark it down, and save the date
Live music in the White House
Strictly B.Y.O.B
The public wanna get down
It is our collective destiny
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm gonna kiss all the babies
Maybe kiss their mamas too
I don't need the secret service
I know how to work a room
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna be president
Of the United States
I was born to be president
Of these United States
On the day I was born
All the nurses and doctors
"Take that boy out of his crib
And put him in the Executive Office"
[Chorus]
First thing that I'm gonna do is disclose all those U.F.O.s
Put Jimi Hendrix on the 20 dollar bill
And Bill Hicks on a five note
Hot damn, the democratic process
What a time to be alive
Oh, I'm ready to give the people what they want
And what they want is straight talk and no jive
[Bridge]
We have exit polls coming in
Rhode Island and American Samoa
We have more results coming in
From Puerto Rico and both Dakotas
Breaking news, happening right now
I believe we're ready to call it
Do you want us to call it? (Yeah)
I believe we have a winner
[Verse 3]
Thank you very much
I couldn't have done it
I couldn't have done it without you
Drinks on me
Thank you very much
I couldn't have done it
I couldn't have done it without you
Drinks on me
[Chorus]
First thing that I'm gonna do is go for a ride on a U.F.O
Put Jimi Hendrix on the 20 dollar bill
And Bill Hicks on a five note
Hot damn, the democratic process
What a time to be alive
Oh, I'm ready to give the people what they want
And what they want is straight talk and no jive

In Walks Barbarella Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Heard you got detention three times this week
Playing with the bad kids down by the creek
When I was your age, oh, I did the same
I'll save you some trouble, boy, and try to explain
[Chorus]
Defcon, tractor beams, weaponized funk
In walks Barbarella, set to stun
Defcon, tractor beams, gamma ray gun
Straight out the mothership, weaponized funk
[Verse 2]
Let me back up twenty years or so
Before I met your mama, I was livin' on the road
I met a belle from the astral planes
Hopped in my 710, I was never quite the same
[Chorus]
Defcon, tractor beams, weaponized funk
In walks Barbarella, set to stun
Defcon, tractor beams, gamma ray gun
Straight out the mothership, weaponized funk
[Bridge]
One last word to the wise
While we got time to kill
If the X-rays don't get ya
Then the heartbreak surely will
[Verse 3]
When it was over, all I had to show
Big bill from Motel 6 and a broken nose
From east of Needles to eternity
Space truckin', son, ain't what it used to be
[Chorus]
Defcon, tractor beams, weaponized funk
In walks Barbarella, set to stun
Defcon, tractor beams, gamma ray gun
Straight out the mothership, weaponized funk
Defcon, tractor beams, weaponized funk
In walks Barbarella, set to stun
Defcon, tractor beams, gamma ray gun
Straight out the mothership

Sonic Counselor Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ferocious women and ill-tempered men
We're not that picky 'cause we take 'em all in
We fuss and fight and spit and cuss
Look no further, you have found the right church
[Chorus]
Ecclesiastic, worldwide
Enlightenment, sonic counselor
Ecclesiastic, worldwide
Enlightenment, sonic counselor
[Verse 2]
Prosperity gospel just ain't our thing
The riches we seek are fit for no king
If you desire material worth
The truth of the matter is you're in the wrong church
[Chorus]
Ecclesiastic, worldwide
Enlightenment, sonic counselor
Ecclesiastic, worldwide
Enlightenment, sonic counselor
[Bridge]
Transient fundamentals
All are welcome in this holy temple
[Verse 3]
We greet each other in codified rhyme
Scratch off the numbers to call the divine
If you're in need of miraculous works
We have good news, you're in the right church
[Chorus]
Ecclesiastic, worldwide
Enlightenment, sonic counselor
Ecclesiastic, worldwide
Enlightenment, sonic counselor

Lorelei Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There’s no wisdom I may give
Only my apologies
If an answer you must have
There is a cave by the sea
You'll find there a Methuselah
As wind-swept as the trees
Should you approach him there
I advise you do so gingerly
[Chorus]
Lorelei, trouble my water
Oh, I throw myself over rapture of song
Lorelei, sweet mooncusser
Oh, my compass is spinning and I’m so far from home
[Verse 2]
There was a time of innocence
He knew nothing of the sea
Landlocked in all directions
Riding elephants to victory
But when the war, at last, was over
To the circus, the beast went
So he walked until the land’s end
And he’s been there ever since
[Chorus]
Lorelei, trouble my water
Oh, I throw myself over rapture of song
Lorelei, sweet mooncusser
Oh, my compass is spinning and I’m so far from home
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Lorelei, trouble my water
Oh, I throw myself over rapture of song
Lorelei, sweet mooncusser
Oh, my compass is spinning and I’m so far from home
