George Smith Towing
by admin on Jan.30, 2012, under Daniel, Gandalf And Daniel, lyrics
Walking down and I witnessed a crime,
It happens all the time,
Whether you’re an authority,
Or, just some guy parking… like me.
George Smith,
George Smith,
George Smith Towing.
Greed,
You wanna beat me?
I’m not your wife,
Get out of my life.
Making all that bad juju voodoo,
That you do.
Try taking the car out of park,
Not random vandalism,
On the lark.
George Smith,
George Smith,
George Smith Towing.
by Daniel and Gandalf
PART II
George Smith,
George Smith,
The towing that’s owing,
George Smith
Dear George Smith,
Pursuant to your towing,
We find you to be owing,
For crimes against civility.
See, your boy,
Did crushed our joy,
As we were trying to have fun with Fun.
Then, on my way to find New Found Glory,
Your boy got in the way…
Ruined the day…
Ruined liberty’s story.
He threatened us once,
He threatened us twice,
He terrorized men into mice.
Is this your car?
I’m going to lick you,
Puss e!
I’m going to tow this car far.
Er, a… I would if I knew how to tow a car,
But so far,
No.
No know,
I ain’t been edjewmacated on the crimes I commit… throw a fit,
Shall I call the cops?
Please do,
Hang on,
I’ll get them for you.
No need to make threats on whose asses are moped… rather know good comes out on top.

With Love And Rage
by admin on Nov.22, 2011, under Christmas Music, Daniel, lyrics
We’ve entered an age
In need of our sage
From the year nothing
Spring…
To be our savior
Bringing blankets to the shivering
Bringing food to those hungering
Medical attention to any needing aiding
We pray
Please don’t take that away
With love and rage
Occupy the savage age
X’s and O’s
The hero from year zero

Heartless Soul
by admin on Nov.16, 2011, under chords, Daniel, lyrics
Heart And Soul?
What happens when the heart is ripped from the soul? What happens when the soul is ripped from the heart? This song is about exodus of the music committee from Occupy Philly.
LYRICS
Whirring of the whirlybird
Overhead
Bringing on fear…
Dread
Rumors, gossip…
Over what’s been said
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Waiting for an onslaught of the assault cop
Gone to hell
All that’s left…
A shell
Heart ripped from soul
Soul ripped from heart
Twisted
Torn apart
What’s the toll of your goal
Resisted
A fresh start

Press Press
by admin on Nov.16, 2011, under Daniel, lyrics
Press the press
For nothing less
Than the truth
Press the press’s button
To turn on
The wisdom tooth
To turn off
The aloof
Are those in P.R.
Really that far
From reality of disparity
Disparity of sincerity
The rarity of ability
To annunciate their state
Seek their fate

Baa

Baa check
Baaaaaa
Blah check
Blaaaaaah
Wear a funny hat
Wear a funny heart
Wear a funky charm
Stand on stage
Rage
For authority
In hypocrisy
Of our age
Bringing harm
Instead of help
False alarm yelp

Question Less
by admin on Nov.16, 2011, under chords, Daniel, lyrics
How can you hoard
When you’re homeless
You’re never board with Earth
When Earth’s your nest
Trying to find the ends
To make ends meet
Thank God, Mother Nature lends
Shelter, drink and something to eat
That’s good… Mother Nature sends
Why do humans hoard
When they need less
Squirrel away for their rainy day
Creating a mess
For those with less
No measure of success
Comparing oneself to the homeless
No measure of success
Compared to worthless
Em / Am

Frackin Chicken Franchise
by admin on Nov.12, 2011, under Daniel, lyrics
This song is dedicated to Rob, Alix, Gandolf and especially N.A. Poe:
I wanna start a fracking chicken franchise
Where we frack chicks for everyone
A fracking chicken franchise
In every Occupy
To supply
Jobs for all
Enough with the GA
And, how they say
“Which came first
The chicken or the egg?”
Frack putting the round hole
Around the square peg
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To try n’ hide
From the ridiculous side
Of the mob slob
Instead, let us be fed
With frackin’ chicken
The Frackin’ Chicken Franchised
Just, trademarked
Over a foul remark
Meant to cause ill will
Still, we will not run a fowl…
Now, Kentucky Fried Chicken
Is mighty fine
But, all I ask is to dine…
With Frackin’ Chicken so sublime
Enough of the straw-poul…treeeee
God, help me
A frackin’ chicken franchise
In every Occupy
Will supply
’till the day we die
*repeat*

Your Move

SONG
lyrics
(It’s) Your Move
Written November 3, 2011 at the Your Move sculpture
A giant game piece
Used in the name of peace
Across from where you park love
Helicopter whirling overhead
I still overheard
A voice rise above,
“It’s your move!”
Move your piece
Move your peace
Move for peace
Contrast Comcast
Cast your system
System of casts
Not, what I am
Move your piece
Move your peace
Move for peace

MY LETTER TO CITY HALL
To whom it may concern:
Pursuant to today’s telephone conversation, thank you for your assistance. As you suggested, I did contact the Mayor’s Press Department.
It is my desire to coordinate press in two ways:
1) Obtain any positive *copy* covering the Philadelphia Police Department and the Mayor’s office. Any statements, press releases or related materials that can be edited and/or redistributed to news organizations would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for any information that will help substantiate that the Philadelphia Police have been doing an excellent job at Occupy Philly, as well as, being civil and cordial.
2) An on-camera appearance by representatives from the Police Department or the Mayor’s Office. Besides praising the Departments on camera, I would like to review the *move plan* offered to Occupy Philly by the Mayor. If we could shoot on-location Thursday or Friday during a picture perfect day, I would like to meet.
Questions include:
Where can Occupy Philly move? [The area will be filmed.]
Will there be electric?
Does Occupy Philly need any permits? Permits to move? Permits to play music? etc.
Can the move start this weekend?
Thank you. I shall await your advice.
