lyrics:
rampaging worlds away, a whisper
a glimpse of things to come in time
a chance of desolation
but as the time passed, growing nearer
it wont sink in, we need to hide
but theres a trepidation
no reason now to stoke their fear
we'll wait and see
i saw the blight on the horizon
but panic festers in the gloom
it just seemed right to calm them
i undersold, a soothing lie told
it caused a vector site to bloom
the ones who trust me, condemned
and now reality is here
oh god what have i done
truth of its severity
proceeds the lie i sold
all the suffering i could have spared
multiplied manifold
now a harbinger of death
i only wanted everyone to be okay
now im the one to blame
for a world in flames
final chorus layered bg vox:
i said it'd all be fine
i said it'd pass in time
i didn't know id have such sway
i thought they'd come around
thought we'd be safe and sound
i didn't know it'd be this way

Jerkatorium - Oh Pandora

So there’s this lovely wedding gift from Zeus
And Prometheus (your brother-in-law) says, “Leave it alone.”
But being the curious person that you are
You sneak a peek inside the jar
And accidentally
You set all worldly evils free
And then after all the plagues have flown
Everyone blames you instead of Zeus
Thinking that you somehow should have known
Knowing you were meant to set them loose
Oh Pandora
Can’t you see the humor of it all?
Oh Pandora, they made you,
and then they made you take the fall
Oh Pandora
Oh Pandora
Your story was revamped much later on
They added talking snakes in trees (yeah I don’t get that either)
The overarching gist is still the same
Because the woman gets the blame
And we’re ostensibly
Still paying off her penalty
And after you’re evicted from the garden
Some people never see things as they are
Such thoughtlessness could cause a heart to harden
and make you want to smash Pandora’s jar
Oh Pandora
Can’t you see the humor of it all?
Oh Pandora, they made you,
and then they made you take the fall
Oh Pandora
Oh Pandora
And now the Golden Age is done
The Silver Age has just begun
And now that bell can’t be un-rung
I guess that’s just the way it goes
Those stories everybody knows
The jar is open and the garden closed
Oh Pandora
Can’t you see the humor of it all?
Oh Pandora, they made you,
and then they made you take the fall
Oh Pandora
Oh Pandora

Sign says "Beach Closed Due To Sharks," but buddy look at those waves
Wax up your flipboard, I'll grab my boogie
Screw what that sign says, anyways
Don't give me aggro, you know me bro
I smoke my buds by the pound
Here, smoke this pre-roll
We'll surf the dawn patrol
That way no one else will be around
You may think I'm crazy or stupid but I'm really not that kind of guy
You only live once ... time to surf or die
Next morning the surf is firin'
It's gonna be an epic day
My bro's in heaven, hanging eleven
The beats the square life any day
You may think I'm crazy or stupid but I'm really not that kind of guy
You only live once ... time to surf or die
Breaks were mackin', shark was trackin'
I never saw that great white fin
Pulled me under, call it a blunder
I went down with a simp eatin' grin
You may think I'm crazy or stupid but I'm really not that kind of guy
You only live once ... time to surf or die
Surf or die ...
Surf or die ...
Surf or die ...

When the candle’s burnin down, the wine glasses are low
And the waiter comes around to ask if we’re ready to go
And she looks me in the eye, I just don’t want this to end
So I look at him and I say, “One last drink, my friend”
Give me one last drink, give me one for the road
We ain’t in no hurry, ain’t got nowhere to go
One last drink, yeah give me one for the road
What could go wrong, I’ve done it so many times before
So now we’re cruising down the highway, she’s got her hand on my knee
And I look in the rearview, what’s that I see?
Bright red and blue, a cruiser flashing his lights
He pulls me over and asks me, sir have you been drinking to night
I just had one last drink, yeah I had one for the road
Cause we weren’t in no hurry, ain’t got nowhere to go
One last drink, yeah give me one for the road
What could go wrong, I’ve done it so many times before
So he makes me walk a line and try to say backwards ABCs
Is it T or R that comes right before Z
Before I know it I’m sitting in his back seat
And she’s in the rear view yelling and cursing at me
I just had one last drink yeah I hadone for the road
Cause we weren’t in no hurry, ain’t got nowhere to go
We had one last drink, yeah one for the road
What could go wrong, I’ve done it so many times before
So now I’m in the holding tank some big guy gives me evil eye
I ask him what he’s looking at, and immediately ask myself why
So he walks across the cell, and picks me up by the hair
He’s got mean left and then he kicks me you know where
I just had one last drink yeah one for the road
Why’d I drive away, I didn’t have nowhere to go
I’ll never see her again, it won’t matter even so
Because of one last drink, yeah one for the road

Title: Hand Washing
Lyrics:
I don’t need to wash my hands
I don’t need to wash my hands
The water is too wet and I forget
I don’t need to wash my hands
I intend to touch my face
I intend to touch my face
Cause faces sometime itch and I won’t switch
I intend to touch my face
I refuse to hide from crowds
I refuse to hide from crowds
Crowds form where there’s fun, and I’m not done
I refuse to hide from crowds
I won’t cover when I cough
I won’t cover when I cough
Cause coughing wild and free announces me
I won’t cover when I cough
I don’t need to disinfect
I don’t need to disinfect
Cause cleanliness is something I reject
I don’t need to disinfect
I don’t plan to stay at home
I don’t plan to stay at home
My soul is free wherever I may roam
I don’t plan to stay at home
Now I’m sad that we’re all sick
Now I’m sad that we’re all sick
It could be that I’ve been a little thick
Now I’m sad that we’re all sick
I respect clean lifestyle now
I respect clean lifestyle now
All earlier advice I disavow
I respect clean lifestyle now
It’s okay to wash your hands
It’s okay to wash your hands
Biology and physics understands
It’s okay to wash your hands

lyrics
Robert Andrews has it made, fresh out of school and already first mate under the mysterious Captain Hale. As the show opens, Robert has convinced his high-school sweetheart Dawn to ride his tour boat before she leaves for the Ivy League. Along for the trip are Silicon Valley entrepreneur James Backer, esteemed author Doctor Russ Johnson, his wife Natalie, and introducing pop sensation Tyna, as herself.
When a storm appears on the horizon, Robert intentionally crashes their ship, the SS GILL LAGAN, in order to get intimate with Dawn. When their romantic advances accidentally foil the Captain's SOS, it becomes clear that Robert's last fling with Dawn will be much longer than they bargained for.
Can he swim with the sharks? Or his he just a Minnow?

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Words and music by JoAnn Abbott
ST 16 Rd 4 March 15, 2020
Don’t put that grenade into your pocket
After pulling the pin as a threat
When mugging the kindly local dealer
His stash isn’t all you will get
Boom! Boom! Boom!
I know it made sense at the time
But, Boom! Boom! Boom!
Stupidity should be a crime
One day while out scavenging for metal
Three friends found an unexploded bomb
They rolled it down the hill- it made a crater
Their remains? They could fit within your palm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
I know it made sense at the time
But, Boom! Boom! Boom!
Stupidity should be a crime
Bridge
We will not heed this Jewish plot!
Daylight cannot be saved!
They drove to plant the bomb and learned
The daylight savings time they spurned
Would leave them all much more than burned-
The cell phone set for nine
Auto set to Israel’s time
Boom! Boom! Boom!
I know it made sense at the time
But, Boom! Boom! Boom!
Stupidity should be a crime
When driving with friends, all drunk and stupid
That hand grenade isn’t your friend
When you throw the pin out of the window
You’ll all come to a sticky end.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
I know it made sense at the time
But, Boom! Boom! Boom!
Stupidity should be a crime

The greatest generation of boys, we’ve come home from the war
Silenced the fascist noise on a foreign shore
Got that diploma for free, got the girl of my dreams
Drive a brand new car down a brand new highway
So long, Ma and Pa, I’m gonna do things my way
Mr. Levitt, this beautiful house
Is just perfect for the Missus and me and three little sprouts
Can you build that fence just a little bit taller
Don’t want the neighbors to hear when I holler
Feels so good to be on our own
Feels so good to be all alone
When this family goes nuclear
You best believe we go all out
But when this family goes nuclear
We then have to deal with the fallout
All the uncles and aunts are now so far away
We’ve finally got some peace and quiet
Fewer helping hands, but that’s okay
If we need any help, we can buy it
Ain’t it great to be self-sufficient
Relax in the shade while the wife does the dishes
When this family goes nuclear
You best believe we go all out
But when this family goes nuclear
We then have to deal with the fallout
Someone said that it takes a village
But all a child needs is a mother and father
And parenting’s all feminine intuition
I could probably learn, but I can’t be bothered
See I’m the breadwinner, so it’s not a wonder
Wait, what do you mean that the firm’s going under?
Well a man ain’t a man unless he brings home the bacon
You can measure a man by the money he’s making
A man leaves his parents to cleave to his wife
A man leaves his family to start his own life
Now I’m the king of my castle, the head of my home
A broken man on a broken throne
When this family goes nuclear
You best believe we go all out
But when this family goes nuclear
We then have to deal with the fallout

I’ve been waiting ages for us to meet
When you waved hello you knocked me off my feet
I’m throwing a party; if you came it’d be swell
(I kinda like you if you couldn’t tell)
Camille, Camille, Camille
You blow me away
Camille, Camille, Camille
You got me carried away
Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry over to me
(BV-Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurricane)
Hurry hurry hurry girl were dancing to the beat
(BV-Hurry hurry hurricaneCamille)
Come on, Camille, come meet me on the beach,
We’ll have, as we say here in New Orleans,
‘Le petit mort,’ the little death
When I feel your touch, you steal away my breath
Camille, Camille, Camille
You blow me away
Camille, Camille, Camille
You got me carried away
Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry over to me
(BV-Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurricane)
Hurry hurry hurry girl were dancing to the beat
(BV-Hurry hurry hurricane Camille)
When I look into your eye I see
A special place for just you and me
Where the party stops and the world is still
And you can do with me what you will
Camille, Camille, Camille
You blow me away
Camille, Camille, Camille
You got me carried away
Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry over to me
(BV-Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurricane)
Hurry hurry hurry girl were dancing to the beat
(BV-Hurry hurry hurricane Camille)
As I watch you dance, you have me in a trance
As you spin towards me, I want you desperately
Let’s take a chance on our wild romance
Camille!

for the love of this ship
and these seas
all the blessings this crew has received
still feel a rope around my neck
that tugs me up to the deck
to hear a song under silent shining stars
turn the bow towards the flickering moonlight
your lovely voice has gone and cursed my sight
sometimes the water's not enough
until it's been touched with some blood
it could be perfect and somehow not well enough
you don't have to drag these bones along
you can leave me, just let me drink
just want to hear the end of this song
what do you think, should I swim or sink?
you erased all the pain I felt before
as my home turned to splinters on the shore
took me far too long to learn
the whole thing's rotten stem to stern
I fell fearfully to your embrace
you don't have to drag these bones along
you can leave me, just let me drink
just want to hear the end of this song
what do you think, should I swim or sink?
I'll never see home again
sailors get lost, it's not unique
Never meant to put this on my truest friends
heart's sprung a leak, I can't swim, I sink
As the light dims there's unending rest
I press my old dagger up to your chest
On this jagged stone bed
I sleep if the sleep of the dead
And with morning all will turn to mist
Now your song has been sung
And the tide greets my lungs
As the last notes fade away

When you’ve had enough of cruise ship food
Come on down to the kissing booth
We’ve breathed each other’s stale air
We’ll do what we dare
Don’t miss the kissing contest
As we bobble in the Bay
Don’t miss the kissing contest
No matter what the newsman say
We’ve been at sea for sixty days
Quarantined, it’s inhumane
Claustrophobia extreme
It’s a sorry scene
But don’t miss the kissing contest
As we bobble in the Bay
Don’t miss the kissing contest
No matter what the newsman say
(Beat) Just how bad could it be
We’re all doomed eventually
Can’t afford life’s rent, you see
Let’s kiss torrentially
Day sixty-one and I’m still here
We disembark, see darker fears
Among the healthy and the well
We will never tell
Them about the kissing contest
As we bobbled in the Bay
We had no means of egress
Vacation wasn’t meant to be that way
They missed the kissing contest
And I’m not about to give away
The reason why we all will call in absent
And why we couldn’t wait just one more day
