“Aliens and Beer”
Written by Mike Anderson, Jeff Behrendt, Randy Matthews, and Eldon McGraw.
Lyrics by Mike Anderson and Jeff Behrendt.
Music by Mike Anderson, Randy Matthews, and Eldon McGraw.
Did you know aliens were here?
They came down on a night so clear
Saucer opened, a beam came down
Alien feet walking around
My fear rose – it shook my core
Then I saw them walk to the pub next door
The people dropped their drinks and stared
The aliens, they didn’t care
They said “We’ve traveled many light years
We’re thirsty, we want beer!”
Sat down, they ordered a round
Then with their three arms they began to pound
They looked so scary at first
But they just came down to quench a thirst
They were happy to drink and get along
Then some redneck came on strong
They were getting picked on by Big Jim
Til their shrink rays took care of him
The bar don’t take galactic cash
When the check came, they had to dash
They were drunk, blotto, and stoned
When they try to fly their saucer home
The sauce rose, the saucer fell
Then it crashed somewhere near Roswell

“Under the Dome”
Written by Jeff Behrendt and Eldon McGraw
Lyrics by Jeff Behrendt. Music by Eldon McGraw.
That guy's an ass
But most of these fuckers are
Time to take out the trash
Cause it never goes too far
Circle the bowl
Cause shit just stirs around
Protect my soul
Bury it in the ground
Under the Dome
This place is not my home
Under the dome
It will never be my home
Big swinging sacks
Left at the front door
Come and show me your pass
Cause everyone here's a whore
Speak loudest last
Word in the right ear
Blood in the stool
Dripping from the rear
Under the dome
Light peaks through the cracks
Under the dome
Better watch your backs
Elected ass
Slacken up their thirst
Raise up the tax
Fill their own plates first
Kept under wraps
Your rights is need to know
Don't turn your backs
On the win, place, or show
Under the Dome
This place is not my home
Under the dome
It will never be my home
Under the dome
Light peaks through the cracks
Under the dome
You better watch your backs
So do we have a deal?
I think we could so some business Senator

“The Note”
Written by Randy Matthews and Eldon McGraw.
Lyrics by Randy Matthews. Music by Randy Matthews and Eldon McGraw.
Wanted to say, now that I've gone
Some things to you, waited too long
Life's been lovely, worth it to me
Life's been lovely, and now I’m free
But more than this, I'll miss your kiss
More than this, I'll miss your kiss
More than this, I'll miss your kiss
Because of this, I've lived in bliss
You've been for me, reason to live
Precious moments, all that you give
It's been worth it, the times we’ve had
Reason for leaving, not cause it's bad
But more than this, I'll miss your kiss
More than this, I'll miss your kiss
More than this, I'll miss your kiss
Because of this, I've lived in bliss
Only this body is gonna be gone
Only this body is gonna be gone
But more than this, I'll miss your kiss
More than this, I'll miss your kiss
More than this, I'll miss your kiss
Because of this, I've lived in bliss
Now that I am, always with you
Our souls were met, I’ve only a few
The rest can wait, to hear you come
Be like the morn, not setting sun
Lifes been lovely, trade none of it in
Lifes been lovely, it’s been a win
Lifes been lovely, and now it ends
Lifes been lovely, let’s do it again
But more than this, I'll miss your kiss
More than this, I'll miss your kiss
More than this, I'll miss your kiss
Because of this, I've lived in bliss
More than this, I’ll miss your kiss
More than this, I’ll miss your kiss

“Anger is Emotion”
Written by Mike Anderson and Eldon McGraw.
Lyrics by Mike Anderson and Eldon McGraw. Music by Eldon McGraw
Anger is emotion
Anger is emotion
Who gave you the right to speak for me?
Who gave you the right to take my liberty?
Who gave you the right to go out and make war?
Who gave you the right to kill and maim the poor?
Anger is emotion
Anger is emotion
You bring out tanks and guns to make your point known
Then you sit back to watch them die and moan
No price is too high when it’s pain and blood and tears
Rage is your payoff with no way to steer
Anger is emotion
Anger is emotion
You try to hide your crimes, in the name of security
When will we stop this madness, this insanity?
You live a sickened lie, you put their heads into a vice
One day soon your game will end and then you’ll pay the price
Anger is emotion
Anger is emotion
Anger is emotion
Anger is emotion
You know this ain’t the first time we’ve seen this kind of act
You’ve done what you’ve done, now it’s time to face the facts
You’ve had your reign of terror, but it’s over now
Their blood has stopped flowing and they will not bow
Anger is emotion
Anger is emotion

“Witch Puzzle”
Written by Jeff Behrendt.
Lyrics and music by Jeff Behrendt.
Black candles, black diamonds
A setting just for one
Braided hair and monkeybone
Your nightmares just begun
Left handed vials candles at both ends
Squeals in the night, she has wills to bend
Witch puzzle, witch puzzle,
Witch puzzle, witch puzzle,
Take away all my sin
Letting the devil in
She works at night in a room with no floors
Stealing moonlight unlatching the doors
Under her spell actions not our own
Dancing with our bodies the colors are all sewn
Cackle in candlelight inventing her own skits
Jig-saw all the pieces she cuts us to fit
Witch puzzle, witch puzzle,
Witch puzzle, witch puzzle,
Marrow of my bone
Everything I own
Grandma taught me keep the devil at bay
Nobody told me to keep the witch away
Haunted valley skeleton key
Lookout mountain beckoning me
Sleep in the light careful what you sew
Blanket blessed with light warmed over soul
Witch puzzle, witch puzzle
Witch puzzle, witch puzzle, which way to turn, when will I burn?

"Waited So Long"
Written by Jeff Behrendt and Eldon McGraw.
Lyrics by Jeff Behrendt and Eldon McGraw. Music by Eldon McGraw.
I've waited so long
Waited so long
Waited so long
Yes I have
I'm gonna take it easy
I’m gonna take it slow
I'm giving you the reason
So you don't have to know
Don't tell anybody
Let's whisper it tonight
We don't love each other
I'm givin’ you the right
And I've waited so long
Waited so long
Waited so long
If you ever doubted
My love was real
We could go on living
I'll give you what I steal
Let's just remember
It was all a game
There's no way in heaven
Two people feel the same
And I've waiting so long
Waited so long
Waited so long
A lifetime in circles
Trying to read your mind
Why'd we even bother
I knew it all the time
I'm peaceful in the morning
I’m easy in the day
I'm mellow in the evening
Now that you've gone away
And I've waited so long
Waited so long
Waited so long
Yes I have
Waited so long
Waited so long
Waited so long
Yes I have
Yes I have

“She Loves Me?”
Written by Eldon McGraw.
Lyrics and music by Eldon McGraw.
You punched me in the face
And boy did that hurt
Ya knocked the wind out of me
All I did was flirt
I thought that you loved me
Well I guess I was wrong
You stabbed me in the heart
And you won't play along
She loves me? yeah
She love me? yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
She loves me? yeah
She love me? yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
You hate all my friends
And I don't understand
You say they're all morons
And to change all my plans
You used to laugh out loud
And now all you do is yell
You're makin' my life
A living hell
She loves me? yeah
She love me? yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
She loves me? yeah
She love me? yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
I can't take this anymore
I can't take this pain no more
Well why are you so angry?
Always gotta nag
I never thought I’d live
With an old bitter old hag
I'm packin' up my bags
I’m gonna run for the hills
Yeah I’m gonna leave you
Cause there aren't any thrills
She loves me? yeah
She love me? yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
She loves me? yeah
She love me? yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
She loves me? yeah
She love me? yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
She loves me? yeah
She love me? yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

"So Lonely"
Written by Eldon McGraw.
Lyrics and music by Eldon McGraw.
I'm thinkin’ about you
Drivin’ in my car
Could this thing work out?
Or have we gone too far?
I’m thinkin about you
Down this dark road
Could this be our path?
How will it be told?
Hey I’m so lonely and I think your lonely too
Hey I’m so lonely, but I don’t know what to do
Hey I’m so lonely and I think your lonely too
Hey I’m so lonely, but I don’t know what to do
Your eyes were so sad
When we met last night
I wiped away your tears
And I hope it’s alright
I’m thinkin about you
Down this dark road
Could this be our path?
Will the story be told?
Hey I’m so lonely and I think your lonely too
Hey I’m so lonely, but I don’t know what to do
Hey I’m so lonely and I think your lonely too
Hey I’m so lonely, but I don’t know what to do
I’m thinkin’ tonight
It could be so good
And I’m thinkin’ tonight
If I should or would
I’m thinkin’ tonight
If I should stay away?
And I’m thinkin’ tonight
What’s the price I pay for loving you?
For loving you
Hey I’m so lonely and I think your lonely too
Hey I’m so lonely, but I don’t know what to do
Hey I’m so lonely and I think your lonely too
Hey I’m so lonely, but I don’t know what to do
Hey you’re so lonely
Hey you’re so lonely

You were there
From the beginning
Always on my side
I knew right then
Love is forever
There’s no denying

You are my savior

“Gonna Rise Up”
Written by Mike Anderson and Eldon McGraw.
Lyrics by Mike Anderson and Eldon McGraw. Music by Eldon McGraw.
We’re gonna rise up
We won’t take it no more
They can show us their power
And we’ll show them the door
We don’t care if they’re strong
We don’t care if they’re tough
Their time is now over
Enough is enough
Gonna rise up
Gonna rise up
Gonna rise up
Gonna rise up
They can laugh all they want
We’ll get them in the end
They raided our country
And that’s a deadly sin
Yeah we all know their game
It’s take as much as you can
But they’re showing their cards
And they got no hand
How long do they think they can keep us powerless and poor?
Pretty soon they’re gonna find out that the lion sleeps no more
There are no kings
And there are no slaves
If you wanna be free
Then you gotta be brave
When you get tired
Of being treated like a fool
And you see it’s all wrong
Then you know what to do
We’re gonna rise up
We’re gonna rise up
We’re gonna rise up
We’re gonna rise up
