lyrics

If you got it, I got it too.
And If you got it, then we all do through and through.
Some might try to deny it, so I'll paint a view.
You say the difference between us is like day and night.
But that's just a couple of hours, and if you think about it,
The difference is slight.
With the difference between death and life
just a certain kind of penetration.
The impotent rage that I direct a others,
same as me, is exactly my frustration.
We tend to not bend. We tend to marginalize
the few and the far betwixt.
It's so easy to whip whoever has already taken to many licks.
It's time that we heal the sick.
Franco et son OK Jazz
Sang a song as no other one has,
Informing of the drama of AIDS,
Bringin' us into concert,
His compassion never fades.
Bamaman moke baye. Bataata toke baye.
Gibran says within us each lies the greatest evil and the greatest good.
So we can stop our pointing fingers, see it's all common ground.
Turn around what misunderstood.
With these thoughts as context,
you might still say this song is not my place,
or flat out reject my claim that we're all homeless, but for some grace. Perhaps you wouldn't even listen if I was some other race.
Drop that pick up this; find a way to erase
and then replace with the thought that we've all got to embrace.
Got to get some lifeside manner.

about

Chemystry Set image

Chemystry Set San Francisco, California

Musicianship tight as an atom, music wild and roaming as the imagination of the unknown. It’s like everything and nothing I’ve ever heard, a screaming reminder that rock is rebellion and must be reinvented each time it’s played, or else it’s just pop.
