Bio Break Blues
1. Long hair and a frilly dress
A frilly dress, a frilly dress
Long hair and a frilly dress
You want them in the men’s room?
That’d be a mess.
[chorus]
Where the heck are they supposed to be
supposed to be
supposed to be
Where the heck are they supposed to be
Please just let them be
2. Balding head and a neatly trimmed beard
neatly trimmed beard
neatly trimmed beard
Balding head and a neatly trimmed beard
You want them in the women’s room?
That is just weird
[chorus]
3.They’ve been here throughout history
history, history
They’ve been here throughout history
history, history
Gender isn’t binary
[chorus]
4. Science tells us there’s more than two
More than two
More than two
Science tells us there’s more than two
More than two
It could be me, it could be you
[chorus]
5. For all o us when nature calls
nature calls, nature calls
For all o us when nature calls
nature calls, we’re just heading
for the stalls
[chorus]
6. We really shouldn’t need to be singing this song
singing this song, singing this song
We really shouldn’t need to be singing this song
singing this song.
Enough about bathrooms or where they belong
And
Where the heck are they supposed to be
supposed to be
supposed to be
Where the heck are they supposed to be
Please just let them be!

I Carry the Flame
I carry the flame
and I carry the flame
Let it always be said
when you speak of my name
that I carry the flame
Well I carry the flame
Well I carry the flame
Let it always be said
when you speak of my name
that I carry the flame
1. Well, I woke in the dark to a world filled
with grief and concrete and barbed wire
No relief
But a hand to my hand in the night
though brief slipped me the fire
and restored my belief.
[chorus]
And I carry the flame
And I carry the flame
Let it always be said
when you speak of my name
that I carry the flame
2. Where the fire was small
but from all could see
there were billions of people
far worse off than me
And around us high walls
to keep us all “free”
From the neighbors who loved
what we once used to be
[chorus]
3. My flame sometime flickers
its light I might lose
So please understand if I do not chose
to salute, wave flags,
though I’ll do what I do
So my flame might be
passed on to you
And I carry the flame
Yes! I carry the flame
Let it always be said
when you speak of my name
that I carry the flame
4. But darkness can’t fall
on the whole world at once
The light will survive everything that’s been done
Cruelty and lies, deportations and guns
But my light will survive till our battle is won
[chorus]
~~~~~~~~~~~
CHORDS
Here’s a simple version:
Standard tuning — no capo.
(G) I (D) carried the (G) flame
And (C) I carried the (G) flame
Let it (C) always be said when you (G) speak of my name
That (D) I carried the (G) flame
<hr>
MAGA Man
MAGA Man, better cool your head
Forget the lies that your orange man spread
Drank the kool-aid and you’ve been had
Now our country is burning fast
Got distracted by your culture wars
while billionaires swoop in and took what’s yours
MAGA man when will you face the facts
They’re all workin with Putin’s Kermlin
How long? How long?
How long> How long?
MAGA man, better step right back
The threats on Canada, they just won’t have
They’ve always been out real good mate
But Trump can piss off with his 51st state
MAGA man
Liberty Bell your ring is fading fast
The world hopes our freedom is gonna last
MAGA man. wake up and shut him down!
Fascists scheming
World war creeping
How long? How long?
How long? How long?
