This is FARM PUNK!!!

Played by my band Thumper and Smash.  Thumper on bass, Smash on Drums.  Everyone gets some vocals in there.  And here’s where you learn that I am no lead guitar player.

Tell me what is America
Is it baseball and apple pie?
Is it guns, guts and glory?
Go team, go

Tell me what is America
Is it burgers and icecream?
Big cars and big houses?
And bigger loans

Thought I knew you
But I was wrong

Tell me what is America
Is it Christmas with snowmen?
Is it Easter with Honey Ham?
And Halloween

Tell me what is America
Is farmers and factories?
Is it where all men live most free
Or is that Amsterdam?

Thought I knew you
But I was wrong

Got up early so I could go to school
Floss my teeth so I won’t be a fool
Brought and apple, hope it makes her soft, cause
My teacher, she’s so tough

Kids can sometimes be so mean
Thought Sally liked me, but I should have seen
Brought some flowers, hope to make her soft, cause
Sally Rogers, she’s so tough

Math is harder than it looks
All those number sittin’ in those book
Hope it’s easy if I study enough, cause
Algebra, she’s so tough

Joey Sanders punched my eye
Hurt a lot, but I didn’t cry
Next time I’m hit, I hope I’m hit soft, cause
Getting beat up, that’s so tough

I wrote this to keep Smash (my drummer) busy.  He likes it, so that’s a good start.  It is meant to be the first in a series of “Prime Number” songs – songs written in time signatures with with prime number time signatures – 5/4, 7/8, 11/8, etc.  But I hate to make promises.

Oh, it it’s not really quite finished, but I think it holds together okay as it is.

You take two steps forward
One back again
I wish I could make this
Different, my friend

The best I can offer
My best advice
Is just to be thankful
It’s once back not twice

You try something different
It comes out the same
You gave all you had
But still lost the game

It’s hard to decipher
You don’t have a key
The secret is hidden
And don’t look at me

round and round and
round and round and
round and round it goes

Jesus died and he saved my soul
Buried my sins in a great big hole
To tell the truth – he washed them all away
He’ll do the same if you ask him to
Wash those sins all away from you
And brother, it’s good to be clean

Now I’ve been bad and I’ve been good
Sometimes do the things I should
But nothing I can do can fix this ragged soul
It’s something of a mystery
When Jesus gave his life for you and me
Ours souls – he made them whole

Jesus washed my sins away
When on that cross He died that day
Then from the grave He rose again
He won the victory over sin

Now you ask me why, tell you “I don’t know
why sin get’s it’s teeth so deep in our soul”
Brother Paul wrote many years ago
He does the things that he don’t want to
And what he wants is what he just don’t do
But Jesus, he makes us whole

Jesus washed my sins away
When on that cross He died that day
Then from the grave He rose again
He won the victory over sin

Jesus died and he saved my soul
Buried my sins in a great big hole
To tell the truth – he washed them all away
He’ll do the same if you ask him to
Wash those sins all away from you
And brother, it’s good to be clean

Jesus washed my sins away
When on that cross He died that day
Then from the grave He rose again
He won the victory over sin

Jesus washed my sins away
When on that cross He died that day
Then from the grave He rose again
He won the victory over sin
