Merryland

Have you been to the land where everyone lends a hand

and the beaches have purple sand

Merryland (Merryland)

Merry-merryland (Merryland)

Have you been to the land where the music is grand

and granny plays glockenspiel in a heavy metal band

Merryland (Merryland)

Merrymerryland (Merryland)

Have you been to the land where greed is banned

and democracy always in demand

Merryland (Merryland)

Merrymerryland (Merryland)

Have you been to the land where harmony is at hand

and pregnancy never unplanned

Merryland (Merryland)

Merrymerryland (Merryland)

Come visit soon, take a right at the Rio Grande

Then a left at Lapland

Merryland (Merryland)

Hey Singer

Sing a song that's amazing, make me laugh make me cry

A song that makes me wonder why

Sing a song that's amazing

A song that saves the world and brings a brighter day

A song that makes me say it's gonna be okay

A song that forgives the blind, broken things we do

A song that reboots the selfish things i did to you

Sing a song that's amazing, make me laugh make me cry

A song that makes me wonder why

Sing a song that's amazing

A song about a world where no one needs to steal

And no one's afraid to shout out what we feel

A song that fixes the wounds that never heal

And no one posts videos of a murdered baby seal

Sing a song that's amazing, make me laugh make me cry

A song that makes me wonder why

Sing a song that's amazing

Where the voices of the few don't drown the many

with perfect contraception that don't cost a penny

A song of rebirth for this humyn catastrophe

A song that brings my sweetie, my sweetie back to me

A song that fills our lives with all we'll need

A song that ends all the alienation and greed

A song that makes it sweet for silly lovers to breed

A song that makes our species the galaxy's loving seed

Sing a song that's amazing, make me laugh make me cry

A song that makes me wonder why

Sing a song that's amazing

Waymo Driver

When i was a youth i read a book to learn the color of my parachute

I took the quiz, afraid of life in a suit

I tallied my score

Something fun, i implore

The book said, here's your life ahead

You're gonna be a Waymo driver

My guidance counselor said here's your aptitude test

You're strangely different from the rest

We found your niche, not poor not rich

Then she said here's your life ahead

You'll be a Waymo driver

Dog catcher at the South Pole

Firefighter in Atlantis

Grief counselor in Heaven

Where's my vocational bliss

I went to a job fair

The reps were so cheery

But they got glassy eyes when i offered this query

Why don't i see some job for me

Why do i dread this life ahead

Give a honk and a wave, and some sympathy save for the Waymo driver

Abortion Song

Here's a song, here's a song, here's a song i wrote

The abortion song, the abortion song, men don't get a vote

It's got a dingy and a dugout and other things that float

The abortion song, the abortion song, men don't get a vote

The ovary-free stick your two cents in your throat

The abortion song, the abortion song, men don't get a vote

Here's my abortion thought, my heartfelt testimony

A man legislating abortion, is like a pony up a tree

A thousand rapes a day in the town of Terre Haute

The abortion song, the abortion song, men don't get a vote

For patriarchal poison we need an antidote

The abortion song, the abortion song, men don't get a vote

If you need a male opinion, go interview a goat

The abortion song, the abortion song, men don't get a vote

I've never had an abortion and i never ever will

I've never worn the patch and never taken the pill

If you want self-serving shite, ask a man for a quote

The abortion song, the abortion song, men don't get a vote

Ernestine rose was a freedom fighter of note

The abortion song, the abortion song, men don't get a vote

Let's make patriarchy an historical footnote

The abortion song, the abortion song, men don't get a vote

Back-alley abortions, too high a price to pay

100 wimyn dead every single day

All the womyn-haters it 's time to demote

The abortion song, the abortion song, men don't get a vote

If you seek some sense, see what RBG wrote

The abortion song, the abortion song, men don't get a vote

Here's a song, here's a song, here's a song i wrote

The abortion song, the abortion song, men don't get a vote

Mississippi Freeway

Medgar's knocking on the door, been gone so long

Set the table, we're gonna sing a song

On the Mississippi freeway

Mississippi free

Mississippi freeway, comin' home to me

Fannie's limping home but she's standing proud

Her voice is ringing so clear and loud

On the Mississippi freeway

Mississippi free

Mississippi freeway, comin' home to me

Leontyne and ida laughing in the den

Happy days, here they are again

Freeways coming from sea to shining sea

Freeways for you, you and me

Richard's coming home, been in Mexico and France

Everybody gather round, we're gonna sing and dance

Mississippi freeway

Mississippi free

Mississippi freeway, comin' home to me
