"Pie"

Get your fingers outta my pie
I can see it on your knuckles I can see it in your eyes.
Must be a charge, must be a thrill
To dip a hand across everybody's windowsill
But it's not yours if it's mine
So get your goddamn fingers outta my pie
Get your heaven off of my Earth
You said you're hoping for the Kingdom then wait your turn
I love these flowers, I love these trees
I even love you blessed people who can't stand me
Here's a commandment you should learn
Get your hellbent heaven off of my Earth.
If you don't then that's alright
We don't need to pick a side, it don't need to be a fight
Let's make a little motion, maybe pass a little bill
We can get you, Mr. Congressman, a fancy feather quill
To write what is yours, it is not mine
So keep your goddamn fingers outta my pie
I don't mind to share a slice
But you gotta stop trying to take it twice
Ain't for the bigots or the hypocrites
For them I baked a steaming helping of---well,
Take that story and chew it thrice
I don't mind to share a slice
Hallelujah diddley day di
Keep your goddamn fingers outta my pie

"Make A Way"
Written and performed by The Rough & Tumble
Copyright Penny Jar Publishing 2021
Not gonna lose by not having the answers
Not gonna miss your one shot by taking a chance, no
Can’t hit the bottom if you level the way--
Make a way
V1
Stub your toe, you’ve still got nine
Lose every finger and you can have mine
Won’t be easy, but it can be kind
To make a way.
Not gonna lose by not having the answers
Not gonna miss your one shot by taking a chance, no
Can’t hit the bottom if you level the way--
Make a way
V2
The straight and the narrow don’t offer much shade
The road to Hell’s the same as Heaven, just unpaved.
Won’t be pretty, but it sure is brave
To make a way.
Not gonna lose by not having the answers
Not gonna miss your one shot by taking a chance, no
Can’t hit the bottom if you level the way--
Make a way
Not gonna lose by not having the answers
Not gonna miss your one shot by taking a chance, no
Can’t hit the bottom if you level the way--
(So) make a way.
We can go there together-- are you going my way?
Make a way.
