LYRICS

People often ask where they can find lyrics, so I compiled 10+ years worth of songs into one location! I even included some of the tunes I consider to be hot garbage clunkers, just for the fun of documenting the journey. If you'd like to support my songwriting, please download my music on iTunes, add songs to your Spotify Playlists, subscribe to my Youtube channel, and/or purchase physical copies of CDs wherever possible. These contributions help me sustain my career as an independent artist.

Battle Lines

(Capo 2 Shapes)
Verse: 
E A
Chorus: B A 
​
1. she eats her dinner hovered over the sink
bends down to the faucet when she wants a drink
she don't sit at the table, pour herself some wine
she don't love herself enough, she won't give herself the time

she grew up faster than most kids
now all the boys treat her like her daddy did
as far as she's concerned she's just rotting on the vine
she don't love herself enough, she won't give herself the time

she don't love herself
she won't give herself the time
she don't need nobody else 
telling her she ain't worth a dime
the only hand she's been dealt 
is the hurting kind
the battle scars are hard inside her heart so 
she keeps drawing deeper battle lines


2. she makes her money taking off her clothes
it ain't what she likes it's just what she knows
she ain't smiled for real since '89
she don't love herself enough, she won't give herself the time

she don't love herself
she won't give herself the time
she don't need nobody else 
telling her she ain't worth a dime
the only hand she's been dealt 
is the hurting kind
the battle scars are hard inside her heart so 
she keeps drawing deeper battle lines

3. no one's coming to save the day
they would've come by now if it worked that way
she's just flickering out like a neon sign

she don't love herself enough, she won't give herself the time

Let Love Lead the Way

1. we are the women
we have the power
to come together
to save the day
mothers before us
sisters beside us
daughters to guide us
let love lead the way


let love lead the way (let love lead the way)

2. we are the women
we make our own choices
we lift up our voices
we are not afraid
mothers before us
sisters beside us
daughters to guide us
let love lead the way

let love lead the way (let love lead the way) 

3. we are the women
all colors of skin and
we will be voting on election day
mothers before us
sisters beside us
daughters to guide us
let love lead the way 
​
let love lead the way (let love lead the way)

Halloween Since 2016 (boo)

(To the tune of "Lil' Red Riding Hood" by Sam Sham and the Pharaohs)
Capo 4 shapes:
Section 1:
 Em G Am C7 B7 Em
Section 2: G Em Am D7

​it's been halloween ever since 2016
trump makes freddy seem like a nice daydream (boo)
talk about doom & gloom when you can't afford the emergency room
and you're terrified w/ chills cause your wages won't pay the bills

what big lies they tell
i'd rather live at the bates motel
than watch my country slip away
to the nra & the kkk
what big hypocrites
getting rich for the apocalypse
i gotta say, it's a scary day
now that putting kids in cages is the christian way

it's been halloween ever since 2016
trump makes freddy seem like a nice daydream (boo)
talk about horrifying putting predators in power and ignoring science
when every fox news line sends a shiver up & down my spine (boo)

what big lies they have
i'd rather jason chase me in a hockey mask
than watch rights get stripped away
for brown, trans, female, homeless, poor, or gay

what big hypocrites
placing blame on the journalists
aspiring to be like our enemies
& conspiring to murder our democracy
​
it's been halloween ever since 2016
trump makes freddy seem like a nice daydream (boo)
here's what we're gonna do listen up now i'm talking to you
this red's gonna kill us dead so please vote blue

High Horse

Verse: Bm (F#) G // A Bm A G
Chorus: D A Bm G // A Bm G A

why you trying so hard to rein me in? 

you whistle when i trot, but not when i’m galloping
is it getting out of hand, am i getting too wild? 
is it a shame i’m so untamed, so unbridled? 

i climbed up on my high horse 
cause it wasn’t safe to come down 
but i kinda miss the feeling 
of my feet running on the ground 
i don’t have no remorse 
cause now i've got a better view 
i’ll gladly dismount 
when i can start counting on you 
until you stop hurting me, 
i’ve been saddled with a burden you see 
that’s the only reason why
i climbed up on my high horse 


you think i’m chomping at the bit
i’m just trying to help you out 
you’re trying to throw me off
trying to kick me in the mouth 
you wish i would just stay in the stable
laying in the hay 
you don’t want no trouble
long as i’m not in the way

I Didn't Ask You

9/6/2018

you say, girl i like it fast
i say, boy that don’t surprise me
for what it’s worth i didn’t even ask
but you just gotta advise me

i’m not hoping i’m not wishing
i’m not asking for permission
you keep talking i’m not listening
my existence ain’t on trial
here comes that crazy bitch again
why does she get sensitive when
you tell her she’d look better if she’d only fucking smile

i didn’t ask you (woah)
how you see me (ooh)
i don’t need you (boy)
just to be me (yeah)


you say, girl you’re so emotional
i say, boy you’re just afraid of
living in a world where you’re losing control
you cower in the power that i’m made of

but it’s physical, political,
emotional and spiritual
it’s sexual, perpetual,
habitual assault
here comes that short skirt argument
why does she get sensitive when
you put your hands all over her
​and tell her it’s her fault

Some Man, Some God, Some War

1/14/2018

she is dried out like the desert
she is famished, all but vanished by design
and her hide out is her cactus heart
her own hand grenade, a barricade of spines
 
the sands of time repeating
she’s seen suffering before
her future takes a beating for
some man, some god, some war

 
she is minding her own business
steadfastly building castles of sand
when she is blinded by a raging son
who demolishes and calls it all his land
 
those poor holy rolling soldiers’ plights
they can’t live without their virgins and whores
to lift their strengths and spirits to fight for
some man, some god, some war

 
we are sucking out the venom
of poisonous scorpions and snakes
we are bucking this ecosystem
til our mother’s deserts are our daughter’s lakes
 
oh, wondrous, thunderous women
together too loud to ignore
no more curtsies at the mercy of
some man, some God, some war

Take Charge of Our World

11/12/2016

*written to the tune of “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid
 
i guess it's trump, what a crushing defeat
can't believe he's allowed in the president's seat
can't everyone see he's an ass - an ass who hates everything?
look at his team, dangers untold
how many disasters can one cabinet hold?
somebody pass me a drink, at this point i’ll drink anything
 
he hates brown people, gays, the disabled
he hates women and science and more
i was sure no one thought he was able
i was wrong, now I'm scared, of what's in store
 
i wanna be where the sheeple aren't
i wanna see humanity advancing
exercising your, what do you call it? oh - brain
grabbing pussies got trump this far
not paying taxes or his employees
bragging about, what's that word again? rape
sexual assault is not fucking fun, just ask his victims, every last one
the jock gets away and the best we can say:
rape's just part of our world
 
what would i give if i could live where people were smarter?
not pray away gay, or get in the way of a parenthood planned
don't you understand this is a man who has objectified his daughter? still there are women who voted him in, it's unreal as his tan
 
i'm not ready to reap what the people sow
we've got some questions, let's find the answers
starting with lessons we've already, i don't know…learned
when's it our turn? we know what we need:
to live in a land ruled by love and not greed
out of the debris, how about you and me take charge of our world?
