For the skeptic there remains only one consolation: if there should be such a thing as superhuman law it is administered with subhuman inefficiency.

Subhuman Woman
My womans subhuman
(she wont talk)
My womans subhuman
(she cant talk)
My womans subhuman
(she came from space)
My womans subhuman
(shes got no face)
Shes bald, shes cold
Shes eight years old
Shes gonna live for the future
Shes got a six foot sign
That says I love you.
Subhuman woman (5 times)

You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered.

Something to Numb the Pain
Their philosophies are proclaimed to be different.
As expressed...
Throughout a long campaign.
For press 'ops' and long speech stops!
Yet both declare they are advocates for change.
And the one thing that remains to be the same,
Are their philosophies.
They proclaim to be different!
Yet redundantly familiar.
Like a medical procedure...
Administered without anesthesia.
And all that is called for now...
Is something to numb the pain!
Or a rearrangement of the routine.
Before an outburst of people scream...
'No more of this! We get it!
Whatever has to be done...do it quick!
The both of you are making us sick! '

Super Human
Verse 1:
Id have to be strong (uh oh)
Stronger than a moutain, baby
To not crumble at the touch of your hand, of your hand
Id have to stop time to stop this love inside me, baby
To not reach each night for you, to not need you like I do
Chorus:
Id have to be superhuman
Made out of stone, made out of steel
To not feel what Im feeling
To not love you baby , love you baby
Id have to have the strength of ten men
To ever resist a love strong as this
To not care like I do babe
Id have to be, have to be superhman
Verse 2:
I could posess
All the greatest powers baby
I could hold the whole world here in my hand, in my hand
Still I would be powerless to leave you baby
Cause your touch is just to sweet
And Im in this love so deep
Chorus
Break:
Even hercules wouldnt have to strength to leave
Once he feel under the spell of your kiss
So how could I even try
To leave your side
Say goodbye
Baby
Chorus(2x)
Id have to be superhuman
(I dunno what Id have to be)
Superhuman
Id have to be superhuman

Man
If you've
Loved a
Man -
So much
You cannot
Love any
Other man
As much
He remains
Your lifelong
Adulation.
The others
Exist as mere
Consolation.

The Super Thing
Today what does it take to do the super thing
I'll tell you what it takes a very simple thing
Iron nerves like the pilot of a jumbo jet
Or a girl on the go who hasn't got there yet
Magnetic trumpets blowing
Synthetic saxophone
The evidence kept growing
From below
Hidden motivations
Buried in the past
Still gives us strength
For the super thing
The red alarm a rude surprise every time it rings
Means it's time to go beyond the normal thing
Pay attention and be prepared to do it right
The super thing the thing that makes you bigger than life
Won't you tell me what it takes
To do the super thing
Signals start to travel from a distant place
Lights go out electro shock then pleasure pain
Sensations unfamiliar can make you sick
It's a superhuman thing and it does the trick

It is a base thing for a man among the people not to obey those in command. Never in a state can the laws be well administered when fear does not stand firm.
Very simply, the culture of another people does not have to be accepted when it is subhuman!

The Consolations For My Mediocrity
There are many consolations for my mediocrity-
Most are like me
Very few are great-
I tried and wrote what I had to-
I did not give up-
Greatness is a gift of God
I was not given-
A petty person's consolation
In the end perhaps too the greatest
Will know oblivion-
And last and in the end
There is no consolation for having failed.

Heavy Moral Burden
There's a park in this city
Where my soul can dream that I'm happy
And that she remains with me.
I've been lost like the meaning
Of an ancient hieroglyphic
For innumerable years.
Once there was silence
Undisturbed by words
And there was consolation in her eyes.
One day, after I've buried
My self-deceptive lies, I'll find a way
To say I'm still in love with her.

Dying Is Not A Happy Thing
DYING IS NOT A HAPPY THING
Dying is not a happy thing-
We see it again and again-
The Pain, the Sadness, the Futility-
We all have to die,
But this is not really a consolation
For anyone-
Dying is not a happy thing
I saw it again today-
And I have already seen it many many times-
One day others
Will see this
From and for me.

Love Is All That Matters
(diane warren)
Sometimes we make each other cry
Sometimes were locked inside the prisons of our pride
Sometimes we break each others heart with the words we say
Let anger get in the way too many times
But always after all
Love is all that matters
After everything
One thing remains the same
One thing we cannot change
We all have one heart
And one heart needs another
Love, love is all that matters
Love is all that matters
It matters after all
Sometimes we search this world for gold
When all we really need is just a hand to hold
Sometimes we let the greatest treasure just slip away
With words we forget to say too many times
But always after all
Love is all that matters
After everything
One thing remains the same
One thing we cannot change
We, we all have one heart
And one heart needs another
Love, love is all that matters
Love is all that matters
It matters after all
After all that weve been through
It comes down to one simple truth
You need me, I need you
cause love is all that matters
Love is all that matters
Love is all that matters
It matters after all
Love is all that matters
Its the only thing that matters
It matters after all
Love is all that matters
