Yer So Smart You Figger It Out 02:40
lyrics
Yer So Smart U Figger It Out Music and Lyrics by Rich La Bonté Copyright © 2016 Rich La Bonté (BMI). All Rights Reserved. I saw her plainly in the distance An apparition on the shore I took another look And broke into a grin Something was but isn't As the tide rolls in. Madam Frankenstein Hopes for future bribes. Reparations paid To the native tribes. It was a time of free admission Rumors and incense in the air I took another bite And felt a little pain As it all dissolved around us In the toxic rain. And the Colonel said: Pass the mustard, please. And the clown rolled on Through the fallen trees. Another day In the neighborhood. I'd give you mine If I only could.

You Keep A-Knockin 02:00
lyrics
Keep a knockin', but you can't come in. Keep a knockin', but you can't come in. Keep a knockin', but you can't come in, Come back tomorrow night and try again.

You Better Not Cry 04:33
lyrics
You Better Not Cry Words and Music by Rich La Bonté (BMI). Copyright © 2017 Rich La Bonté. All Rights Reserved. (No you better not) Cry for sympathy, for victims of the might Cry for all of those denied their basic right. (No you better not) Cry for ignorance, for leaving some behind. Cry for diligence and of a single mind. No you better not Cry. (No you better not) Cry for philistines, for liars and for frauds Cry for politicians and their loyal dogs. No you better not Cry. No you better not Cry. (No you better not) Cry for all that die in battle Fought for what was fair Cry for suffering emphysemics Cannot breathe our air Cry for displaced, misplaced persons Starving and ignored Cry for military peacocks Marching into war (No you better not) Cry for alabaster fields of waving grain Cry for burning absolution in the rain.

Save Those Who Weep, Lemme 03:38
lyrics
Save Those Who Weep, Lemme (They are the future) Music and Lyrics by Rich La Bonté (BMI). Copyright © 2021 Rich La Bonté. All Rights Reserved. Got no time for the rich and heartless Lost their value with their conscience Got no time for the cold and ruthless Sold their souls to pain and vengeance Make their deals in insolent secret, worthless witchcraft, self-enhancement Slave the minds of innocent masses, propaganda, sex enchantment. (Chorus:) Save those who weep They are the answer Save those who weep They are the future. Got no time for the vain and greedy Painted faces, noses bleeding Got no time for the lies and killing Deaf to truth and always grifting. (Solo)(Chorus) Pity not the feckless wastrels Blathering priests, psychotic bombshells No salutes for mindless mayors Slobbering sleaze or fake soothsayers. Make their deals in insolent secret, worthless witchcraft, self-enhancement Slave the minds of innocent masses, propaganda, sex enchantment. (Chorus)(Solo out)

Remember It All 03:09
lyrics
Remember It All Music and Lyrics by Rich La Bonté. Copyright © 1983, 2021 Rich La Bonté (BMI). All Rights Reserved. In the beginning There was no reason To be afraid. Now that it's ending I've only memories Of what was said. (Chorus): I'm losing you And that's what I fear most of all. I'm losing you And that's when the tears start to fall. When I try to remember it all. We were so careless Innocent youth spent Playing a game. Tapped out and useless Trying to remember Why it began. You were so perfect Never to worry About the past. Only in moonlight Remember the first kiss Might be the last.

Oscar Piper Music and Lyrics by Rich La Bonté Copyright © 2012 Rich La Bonté (BMI) All Rights Reserved. There's a body in the study Secret passage in the hall Murder mayhem screams at midnight Who will help us? Where's the law? CHORUS Oscar Piper Oscar Piper He's the copper we should call Oscar Piper Oscar Piper Best detective of them all! There's a madman on the rampage Bloody footsteps on the stair Sneaky badguys furtive glances Who will help us? Who will care? CHORUS There's a psycho in the ballroom Plum and Scarlett disappear Hope is lost except our hero Carries on without a fear.

Drums Along The Maple Wood 04:49
lyrics
Drums Along The Maple Wood Music and Lyrics: Rich La Bonté (BMI) and Shari Famous (BMI) Copyright © 1981, 2021, 2023 Rich La Bonté. All Rights Reserved. Irwin is a friend of ours And he lives in New Jersey. Irwin is a disk jockey At least he don't have scurvy. When he's on the radio Be sure to listen to him. He won't play no disco tunes Not even if they sue him. Irwin loves The Residents They're from Constantinople. When he smokes those Blue Rosebuds The music drives him loco. Irwin's listeners, they don't care They ask for Peter Frampton. Louie, Louie. Midnight Hour. He gives them Lionel Hampton. Drums along the maple wood Indians in the birch trees Dark and cold New Jersey nights Watch you as your feet freeze Ancient stars are looking on While they whistle through you Drums along the maple wood Magic to undo you. Irwin plays R. Stevie Moore John Cage and Brian Eno. Variety from the bizarre Enraged and sometimes lethal. Irwin's audience don't know They want to hear the mainstream. Sergeant Pepper's wealthy bored He gives them Tangerine Dream.

Dancin Thru L.A. 05:04
lyrics
Dancin' Thru L.A. Music and Lyrics by Rich La Bonté (BMI). Copyright © 2022. All Rights Reserved. Solo in City's a disaster Pancakes in an earthquake Aging plaster casters Waiting for the big break Robbery on the runway Fistfights in the phone room Gunshots on the freeway Something better change soon Mansion with a locked gate Not what you expected Cheap room with a roommate Til the rent's collected Sleepin' underpassing Holy rollers prayin' Nothing's everlasting Cucarachas playin' Solo Jump up on the barstool Clouds of smoke are rising Drink to someone's death pool Billowing horizon Promise of a great gig Hitchhike to the valley Just another drug pig Busted in the alley Watching while the park scores Singer with a guitar Trees with little trap doors Hauled off in a cop car Santa Ana roastin' Sirens scream on Sunset Trying to make the most of What little that we can get Solo Concrete hardens Dancin' thru L.A. Say that no one Dance there nowadays Hang on to the day job Paying for rehearsal Agent's got a hot rod Success in reversal Risks designed for taking Bets are placed to favor Contracts made for breaking Hit you like a taser Malibu at midnight Swingers on a bear rug Loaded in the moonlight Ask you for a group hug Playin' isn't winnin' What is that expression? Life ain't no audition 'Scuse me while I freshen Winners, losers Dancin' thru L.A. Lose your soles When you dancin' thru L.A. Rock and roll polluter Promising a deal dealt Mean motor scooter Now I know how he felt Playin' isn't winnin' What is that expression? Life ain't no audition 'Scuse me while I freshen Solo out

Babbitt For President 01:59
lyrics
Babbitt for President Words and Music by Rich La Bonté Copyright © 2014 Rich La Bonté (BMI) All Rights Reserved. Elect Babbitt for president, he's the one. A man of means, he'll get things done. Yes, Babbitt's your man, have no fear Of the rich and famous, he has their ear. Select Babbitt to lead, in this time of need. He'll war for peace, the poor he'll feed. Yes, Babbitt is brave, with roads he'll pave America, he'll spend to save. Babbitt for president Our most esteemed resident It seems self-evident To vote Babbitt for president. Reject Babbitt for president, at your peril. Want pork on your plate, he's got a barrel. Yes, Babbitt's the guy, of promise and wish For better times, and bigger fish. Expect Babbitt to run, when the going is tough. Responsible Babbitt, knows when to bluff. Yes, Babbitt's the fellow, we need to top The political pile, of rank and fop. Inspired by the United States political system, which seems to depend on status, wealth and influence rather than "truth, justice and the American way." This track was written in 2008.
