Song #29 – Hand Up Its Butt *FREE TRACK!!!*
Hey there! Here’s my free track of the month. I promised one free one every month. I am running behind on posting these so I think this is actually July’s freebie. I’ll be posting another 10 tracks in the coming week and a half, one per day. Most of them are for subscribers only. If you’re interested in subscribing just follow THIS LINK and sign up! It’s not expensive and you get a ton of great material and an inside view into my process.
This song was written on an evening when I wanted to go out to a show my friend Matt O’Brian from the band Thunderbody was putting on. I couldn’t go out to the show because I had to stay home and care for my child so I decided to write my version of a Thunderbody song, haha…. it’s nothing like what they do, but perhaps there is a glimmer of their style in there (they play reggae, I’d call this song a freak-prog-reggae tune). I have been getting more and more interested in what’s happening in the governments of our world lately, so lyrically this came out… but also, I reference a Buddhist chant melody that I heard repeatedly for weeks when my daughter got her hands on one of those sweet Buddha boxes they sell. It was our favorite tune on the box… just kinda came out in the song. Anyway, I hope you all will enjoy this as much as I and the 23 Psaegz do. It’s one of our faves!

Worry ’bout the past tomorrow
Nothing can you do today
When you’re looking down in sorrow
You will miss the point, they say
As they say, a puppet runs the world
Only has the power to wave a hand
With a hand up its butt
Better make a stand
You are on a mission of the utmostestest importance
Me, well, I’m the same, on the same mission
Oh….
All nations in the world resolving
To giving all they have to give
One by one all problems solving
Having all the space to live
UH!! Yeah!! UH!! YEAH!!!!!!!
We who we are, we are the young and free
We who we are, we are the young and free
Worry ’bout the past tomorrow
Nothing can you do today
When you’re looking down in sorrow
You will miss the point, they say
As they say, a puppet runs the world
Only has the power to wave a hand
With a hand up its butt
Better make a stand
You are on a mission of the utmostestest importance
Me, well, I’m the same, on the same mission
oh….
We who we are, we are the young and free
We who we are, we are the young and free.
