IRONY’S LOST Music and lyrics by Vernon Bum ba bahdup bahdup, Bum ba bahdup bahdup Bum ba bahdup bahdup ooooooo (6 times) Standing in a crowd of fifty million Staring at a darkening sky Fearing that this is surely Armageddon Hoping I got the strength to fight this fight Singing to myself a childish sonnet. Trying to sing it from my heart Whining about the details and minutiae Marching before the drummers even start Dancing like I’m stomping incantations Praying, meditation’s too damn loud Pounding a heartbeat so I can feel it Moving ‘til I can make my momma proud Posing through a megaphone that’s broken Screaming like I’m deaf and cannot hear Crawling to get some ‘tention from the camera Stronger than the sum of all my fears Poor poor little ole me Your eyes have been opened to the truth Poor poor little ole me The world don’t revolve around you Poor poor little ole me Sorry not sorry boo hoooooo Who’s your baby? Irony is kinda lost on me Destiny seems kind of far you see Honesty chop down the cherry tree Harmony is what you want from me Irony is kinda lost on me Destiny seems kind of far to see Honesty chop down the cherry tree Harmony is what you want from me Bop bop bop bah-op bop bop…. Trombone solo Bum ba bahdup bahdup, Bum ba bahdup bahdup Bum ba bahdup bahdup ooooooo (4 Times) Poor poor little ole me Your eyes have been opened to the truth Poor poor little ole me The world don’t revolve around you Poor poor little ole me Sorry not sorry boo hoooooo Who’s your baby? Irony Ironically it’s not really the end of the world Destiny Destiny is one of those things that’s kiiiinda vague Honesty yanno you’re trying to be honest with yourself Harmony and just no harmony coming from it Irony All you can really do is try to sing these songs from your heart Destiny Whining about details and marching before the Honesty drummers even start. Not really being honest, is it Harmony I dunno harmony? Just sing it, Yanno what I’m Sayin? Irony Irony is so lost on me Destiny Destiny is way too far for me to see Honesty I’m trying to be honest here Harmony Harmony yes. That’s what I want

SHINE Music by Vernon/ Lyrics by Vernon & Elizah You put the weight of the world on your shoulders You got that sad face on. Lookin’ 20 years older Life’s been painful. It’s made you cry It’s made your back hurt. What’s left? You die But put your head up. You got your work to do STICKY got the information and we’re gonna share with you Forget what you know. Forget what you see Momentary lovin’ of yourself it’s what it’s got to be Let’s all get together. Everybody gather ‘round Time is now. Love one another. Time is here to get on down Look around you Baby at all of us being free Once you’re free there really isn’t any other way to be Let the music move you. Et it ease your mind I like the way you move. I like the way you SHINE I love the way you SHINE I love the way you SHINE I love the way you SHINE It has no equal, it has no end, it knows no bounds Let the funk SHINE in Let it SHINE Let it SHINE

SOMETHING IN THAT MUD Music & lyrics by Vernon Momma told me when she gave me my first guitar, “Play like the river’s bubblin’ right through the floor.” She said listen to us children makin’ all this noise Then she turned it up and made us play more SOMETHING IN THAT MUD maybe in the water Something in our blood All our sons and daughters Something in them trees way beyond time It brings you to your knees. Humility devine Stand beside the river put your feet on the ground Close your eyes. You can hear it fill this valley with sound Them stones and them rocks, you can hear them resonate Careful now, this music has no time. It makes you late SOMETHING IN THAT MUD maybe in the water Something in our blood All our sons and daughters Something in them trees way beyond time It brings you to your knees. Humility devine (Interlude) SOMETHING IN THAT MUD maybe in the water Something in our blood All our sons and daughters Something in them trees way beyond time It brings you to your knees. Humility devine (Guitar solo) SOMETHING IN THAT MUD maybe in the water Something in our blood All our sons and daughters Something in them trees way beyond time It brings you to your knees. Humility devine
