waxing and wanding

rednecks and roosters

tequila and salt

fireworks, six shooters

horseshoe default

just throw the damn thing, now

It's not a hand grenade you know!

just count to three, give it a toss

. . . let 'er blow!



maybe yes

maybe no

your demolition

can help salvage the soul



cocaine and cilantro

leather and silk

dangerously wholesome

vodka and milk

knock that baby down, won't you?

you think you'll get another chance?

tasty temptations, illicit romance.



maybe yes

maybe no

a little deception

can devour the soul



The Solution

is a broadscale resolution

from the dissonance of life

to a tonic for the pain

The Solution

is a voluntary evolution

of the mind and the heart

give us a brand new start 



just toss the damn thing, now

It's not a hand grenade you know!

just count to three, give it a toss, 

. . . let 'er blow!



it's a good point

it's a very good point

can't wave a wand, change our nature

the devil on the shoulder is jealous of his place

selfishness abides



it's a good point

it's a very good point

it just ain't enough to just say we already know

yeah, of course we know

but knowin' ain't doin'



puzzles and pizzas

jigsaws and beers

a solution there to allay all fears

just put the damn piece in

and stop waxing philosophical

wax practical for a change

want wax?  Use a Q-tip.



maybe yes

maybe no

a little religion

can save the soul



The Solution

is a broadscale resolution

from the dissonance of life

to a tonic for the pain

The Solution

is a voluntary evolution

of the mind and the heart

give us a brand new start 



it's a good point

it's a very good point

religion's a demolition derby

too many angels sittin' on the shoulder

arguing 'bout the head of a pin



it's a thin line

it's a very thin line

between God and superstition

between faith, hope, and blind belief

between sinner, saint, and thief



it's a good point

it's a very good point

we CAN just throw out the bathwater

no reason that reason can't dovetail with the dove



it's a good point

it's a very good point

Nothing happens 'til we believe

Nothing happens 'til we love

Nothing happens 'til we act



(now it's time) we're battle-worn and bloodied

(now it's time) we look for sanctuary

(do it) for some respite

(it will be done) for strength of soul

(nothing happens) our perseverance before we roll, before we roll

(without action) this is our pilgrimage to make ourselves whole

to make ourselves completely meet the goal

for strength of soul

the coming siege ya know to make ourselves whole

It's time now to ride

It's time now

our brothers and sisters, ride

let's get together, Lord, and ride

yeah, nothing to hide

mount the horses and ride

brothers, sisters come ride
