Good Will Prevail

Good will prevail
Evil will fail
We can all cope
if we hold on to hope that
good will prevail
Things seem more bleak
each time that we peek
Every day feels a week
with the havoc he wreaks
Keep up the leaks and critiques
till the freak is so tweaked
he meekly speaks his guilt
and drowns in shit's creek
then
Good will prevail
Evil will fail
Tell yourself nope
if you're just gonna mope so
good will prevail
Good will prevail
Evil will fail
Let's hope the dope
hangs himself with his own rope
Good will prevail

Unicycle

Unicycle lives on a roundabout
Unicycle knows only one way out
Unicycle, ghost of a circus past
Unicycle, future approaching fast
Oh, to roll alone and free
I will stand up tall, just me
Unicycle is summoning up the nerve
The turnpike will certainly cause a swerve
Unicycle, laughing at training wheels
Little bike, he'll show you a world that's real
Oh, to roll alone and free
I will stand up tall, just me
rubber metal pedals pushing
rubber metal pedals wishing
rubber metal pedals whooshing
rubber metal pedals dishing
Day is dawning soon for . . .
Unicycle, brimming with confidence
Unicycle is coming to prominence
Unicycle, building a head of steam
Unicycle, straight as a laser beam

Moonshine

Appalachians agree
nothing bites like white whiskey
straight from their distillery
To hell with sobriety!
Drinkin' moonshine in the moon shine
was a pastime in a past-time
Makin' moonshine in the sun shine
in a past-time was a flask crime
Prohibition threw a wrench
into what they drank to quench
causing many fists to clench
Just try to enforce abstinence!
Drinkin' moonshine in the moon shine
was a pastime in a past-time
Makin' moonshine in the sun shine
in a past-time was a flask crime
Legal since 2010
Home-brewed hooch flows free again
Common folk still get the yen
Hey, pour me a glass - Say when?

Not the Proper Spot

Right here is not the proper spot to pick your nose
I didn't think I'd need to tell you
Then again, it's just as well I did
Not the proper spot to pick your nose
There is no upshot to doing something so gross
Right here is not the proper spot to clip your toes
Manners seem to not concern you
It's best if we all just spurn your id
Society is trusting
you to not be thrusting
everything disgusting
on it you desire
I hate to inform you
there are social norms to
follow and conform to
or become pariah
Right here is not the proper spot to pimp your hoes
Does it really need a mention?
Do you want attention from those kids?
Not the proper spot to pimp your hoes
You have not learned squat about what we oppose
Right here is not the proper spot to strip your clothes
Don't you see the signs we've posted?
We will all be skeeved out, keep it hid
Society is praying
you won't be displaying
all of your dismaying
inappropriateness
If you had awareness
you'd know the unfairness
of subjecting our squareness
to mental unfitness
Right here is not the proper spot to come to blows
I wouldn't want my friends to see me
stoop down to your level, god forbid
