Hollywood Crocodile
V1:
I can tell that you’re talkin to me
cos you wanna know them
Never seen such a celebrity
And you wanna be friends
V2:
In a room full of so many stars
Pretty women and men
It’s a zoo and you found
The most dangerous beast in their den
Bridge 1:
If you knew the truth
you wouldn’t think they were so smooth
You’ll find out about the
sharp parts in the end….
this...
Chorus:
Hollywood Crocodile
Forget the claws and the teeth
cos you love the smile
this Hollywood Crocodile
They’re coming closer,
comin closer, comin…
Hollywood Crocodile
Dip your toes into the water
and stay awhile
this Hollywood Crocodile
You’re sinkin lower
Sinking lower, sinking…
V3:
In the wild there are times
When the chance of survival depends
On the speed that you fly
Or you stand and you fight to defend
V4:
So you see I can see
A tragedy as you stand on the edge
It’s a trap and you don’t realize
What’s about to begin
Br2:
Look over your shoulder
For the new shakers and rollers
Post your trophy on the web
and tell your friends
You’ve seen a…
Chorus
Br3:
You think this news is fake
But you don’t know what’s at stake
So you’re waiting as
their jaws snap open wide
And you’ll cry real tears....
For this Hollywood Crocodile

Gaman
True story New Country
We cleared this farmstead with our hands
Strawberries Whole families
Were never welcome in this land
Pearl Harbor Life’s harder
Must we meet the president’s demands?
Prisoners in a desert sea
Search the sands
for fossils from the deep
Hold your breath and
hold the ones you keep
And wait so patiently
Gaman
Your duty, Loyalty
Leave all you built and all you know
Relocate concentrate
Persevere through their control
Prisoners in a desert sea
Search the sands
for fossils from the deep
Hold your breath and
hold the ones you keep
And wait so patiently
Gaman

Tell-All
Intro Riff/chorus Riff #1 x4
C:
I’m gonna write a tell-all book
You’re gonna wanna take a look
I’m gonna write a tell-all book
You’re gonna wanna take a look
V1: Riff #2
Set the scene with some sweet details
The company that’s too big too fail
Movie star with their name in lights
Perfect selfie, perfect life
C: Riff #1 (bkgd vocals ‘Tell All’)
I’m gonna write a tell-all book
gonna have all the people shook
I’m gonna write a tell-all book
gonna have all the people shook
V2: Riff #2
My sources say that the fix is in
Dirty deeds and a lot of sin
Drunk on their self confidence
Pay to play, in for the win
V3: Riff #2
The coverups and the little lies
That turn out to be mountain size
Who could have made this Frankenstein
See the monster through their eyes
Bridge 1: Riff #3
Chapter One:
it starts off just for fun
In Chapter two:
it’s worse than what we knew
Numbers three and four,
I could tell you so much more
But first you’ve got to buy
what I can prove
Intro Riff/chorus Riff #1 x4
C: Riff #1 (bkgd vocals ‘Tell All’)
I’m gonna write a tell-all book
You’re gonna wanna take a look
I’m gonna write a tell-all book
You’re gonna wanna take a look
V4: Riff #2
Bodies buried near the tree
Elections purchased for a fee
The scandal of the century
You get to read it thanks to me
V5: Riff #2
Someday soon when this news grows old
We’ll understand why they lost control
It has to do with the price of gold
The price of oil and the price of souls
Bridge2: Riff #3
Chapter Five:
There’s more dead than alive
In Chapter Six:
It’s all just politics
Seven, Eight and Nine,
Well, I hope you have the time
But first you gotta pay
for all my tricks

Better End
KEY: BPM: 70 HARP: F
Sitting in the prison of his mind
Another failed parole board,
nothing worked
for everything he tried
To get by
There’s still a better end to this
But change has got to start
from deep inside
The inmates were himself
in different lives
They howled with all the anger
And righteousness
of younger men with pride
Not this time
There’s still a better end to this
But you’ve got to walk
that straight and narrow line
I’d been feeling like a zero
Locked away and left unheard
But when I’m listening to my hero
I feel like there’s a better world
Some prisoners thought they knew how to escape
They asked if he would join them
As if there really
somehow was a way
Out of this place
There’s still a better end to this
But not before the things
you’ve got to face
I’d been feeling like a zero
Locked away with no defense
But when I’m listening to my hero
I feel like there’s a better end
SOLO over verse
That’s when he saw the sign
in the mess hall
A concert in a jail house?
What kind of singer
would do that at all
As I recall
There’s still a better end to this
But u gotta rise again after u fall
I’d been feeling like a zero
Locked away with no defense
But when I’m listening to my hero
I feel like there’s a better end
There’s a brighter future out there
I know I’ll walk free again
Cos when I’m listenin to my hero
I feel like there’s a better end
