Some Swami Said

Music and lyrics by Jeff Patterson


I used to wish
That I could Hear
What others said
When I was not near
THEN SOMEHOW I COULD HEAR
just what they said
Now I wish
that wish away

One good thing about being deaf
is you can't hear all the shit that people say
There's supposed to be good and bad in everything
That's what some swami said


Better watch
what you wish for
cause you never know
Can't know for sure
if that wish
comes true one day
will you wish
that wish away?

CHORUS: One good thing about being deaf...

Somebody's Daughter

Music and lyrics by Jeff Patterson


I met a girl in my day to day
not at work, party or play
seemed pretty cool from the very start
and day by day, she worked her way into my heart

Lucky in life, but so unlucky in Love
might be a curse sent from below or up above
but now I've met a girl i'd like to see
become my wife and start our own family

but my hearts gotten jaded
it's been broken so many times before, that's what I'm afraid of

CHORUS
Somebody's Daughter has got a hold on me
when I try to corral her she runs away wild and free


So please Lord I beg you won't you give me a clear sign
that we're meant to be together and not just wasting both our precious time

CHORUS

3 weeks 5 days

Music and lyrics by Jeff Patterson


3 weeks 5 days
Til they take my house away
Got to do whatever it takes
to keep that from happening, yea

Banks notices banded to my door
lost my job and i Can't find more
shouldn't bitch hear it's a common story
these days yea
these days yea

3 weeks 5 days
til they take my house away

So on the level
I'm a rebel
like you and your kind

I've dreamed of lands
of milk and honey
far too many times

Now I've had my own
and its' been
so much more than advertised

My heart and soul
and all I own
lie within these hidden lines

What the Fuck has happened
to my American Dream

12/22/2012

Music and lyrics by Jeff Patterson


It's 12-22-2012
did we all die or were we saved at the bell?
maybe the timing's off a bit
frankly my dear, i am tired of all this end of the world bullshit

CHORUS
We've been working our asses to the bone
Just to feed our kids and stay in our homes


What kind of faith do you have?
If you think that god would let it all end
What kind of message does that send?
Whatcha gonna do, son of a bitch, if it does not end?

Interlude
Who are the leaders of this show?
A conservative compassionate man I'm sure.... NOT!
Why does anyone listen to these f***s? I have no idea.
ALL I KNOW IS THEIR COMPASSION HAS BEEN WEARING OUR ASSES THIN

CHORUS


We bumped up the shit
out of our productivity
When we gonna get a bump in pay?
When is it going to be OK
to ask for a raise? How about Today?

The Duo Test

Music and lyrics by Jeff Patterson


Something Old, Something new
really no difference between the two
have you heard of the rule
do unto others as you'd have done to you, tell me true

Speak the truth that's the plan
so simple a child could understand
Do You know that
from the start
They've known what's right in their Hearts, yes they do

As we get older
got to fight to stay bright and not get colder
There's nothing wrong
with doing your best or being yourself
Still gotta pass that duo test


Call me quaint
and naive
but if you've heard a better creed
then please... do tell me

Speak the truth
that's the plan
so simple a child could understand
they know what's right in their hearts, and have from the start

CAVEAT: Don't set the bar too high, we're not perfect you and I

When The Hammer Comes Down

Music and lyrics by Jeff Patterson


Been so long since I don't know when
Might have to turn my back
on what i thought was needed again

I ain't saying when, and I don't know how
Feel like the hammer gonna come down
maybe take away all these false crowns
from all these shmucks that don't know what the fuck
they're talking about

Been so long since I don't know when
gotta Rock my Soul N get rid of these
DOG-Hounding Blues again
Been so long since I don't know when
Haven't seen a good familiar friend

Got to take a load off & not suffer my soul
y'all know where you all can go again
When you got no friends
you got no friends again

When the hammer comes down I'll pray for you then

Yes I will pray for you then my good friend
And I hope you'll do the same for me when
The hammer comes down again
