‘New Model Army’ — #lyrics to a pop-rock ballad

I’ve used this title before to write lyrics, but I find it an interesting and useful turn of phrase, so here’s another try.

New Model Army
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

you left me alone
to fend for myself
without even a belt to wear
or a explosive vest
but I’m back and ready to fight
with an army that knows how to bite

I have a
new model army
one of my own devices
new model army
new model army
new model army
one you can’t defeat
as long as I’m on my feet

it’s no small feat I must admit
to assemble this cast
I’m ready to go out with a blast
your walls of fate are ready to fall
just like Constantinople before it wailed

I have a
new model army
one of my own devices
new model army
new model army
new model army
one you can’t defeat
as long as I’m on my feet

(bridge)
I’ll lay down my arms
and embrace you with them
if you give me the truth
for once before it’s too late
but I know you too well
that’s not going to sail
so it’s the new model army
back on the attack

I have a
new model army
one of my own devices
new model army
new model army
new model army
one you can’t defeat
as long as I’m on my feet

‘Rate Limit Exceeded’ — lyrics to a pop ballad

Rate Limit Exceeded
lyrics by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

you have no limits but this one
you’re not going any further
don’t express yourself one more bit
if you don’t want to be in the shit
because you’ve exceeded
your rate limit

rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded

it’s one or the other
I’m afraid, I’m afraid
in the end you’re just not
going to get laid
but your rate limit will exceed
in ways you can not
so why not just let it drop
because you’ve exceeded
your rate limit

rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded

(bridge)
you have limits
do as you like
it will cause you
no end of delight
but in the end,
we all have to accept our sin

because you’ve exeeded
your rate limit

rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded
rate limit exceeded

‘Something to Drink About’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

Something to Drink About
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

not much to say
much to my dismay
you come my way
hoping to sway my mood
but all I do is brood
knowing that you

give me something
something to
drink about

you give me something
something, something
something to drink about

pour another one for me
so I can recover from the pain
knowing there’s no plan
all I got is
something, something, something
something to drink about

you’ve got a tinkle in your eye
the type that makes me want
to touch your thigh
but my delight is shore lived
’cause I need another drink
but you won’t tell me yes or not
just be quiet so you can
think just a bit

give me something
something to
drink about

you give me something
something, something
something to drink about

pour another one for me
so I can recover from the pain
knowing there’s no plan
all I got is
something, something, something
something to drink about

(bridge)
sober as can be
is my refrain
but it’s all I lie
while I lie in bed
the lights are out
and my hope is fading
’cause you’re giving me
something to think about,
drink about

give me something
something to
drink about

you give me something
something, something
something to drink about

pour another one for me
so I can recover from the pain
knowing there’s no plan
all I got is
something, something, something
something to drink about

‘Putting On The Rizz’ — #Lyrics to a #pop #rock song

Putting On The Rizz
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give permission if you produce or perform

when you get a little drunk
or maybe drunk as a skunk
there’s no stopping your spunk
you’re ready to roll
be a high roller it’s true
’cause you’re putting on the rizz

putting on the rizz
what else are you going to do
putting on the rizz
what else are you going to do
putting on the rizz

girls and boys may enter your life
(at least for a night)
but we all know it’s yourself you love
with that glint in your eye
that tells us your a mile high
’cause in the end you’re
putting on the rizz

putting on the rizz
what else are you going to do
putting on the rizz
what else are you going to do
putting on the rizz

(bridge)
when you sober up
you’re not longer yourself
just another hungover loser
who gets hung up on
no love to keep
your date just wants to flee

putting on the rizz
what else are you going to do
putting on the rizz
what else are you going to do
putting on the rizz

‘Baked Into The Cake’ — #Lyrics to a #pop #rock song

Baked Into The Cake
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give permission if you produce or perform

everything you do
everything you say
never gets in your way
you can be an ass
say things with a lot of sass
but in the end

it’s all baked into the cake
baked into the cake
baked into the cake
baked into the cake

I try dismiss
the rizz that is your mess
but there’s little I can say
much to my dismay
that isn’t just another way
to explain that

it’s all baked into the cake
baked into the cake
baked into the cake
baked into the cake

(bridge)
one day soon
you’ll meet your doom
things will unfold
and you’ll no longer be on a roll
until that day
I have to say

it’s all baked into the cake
baked into the cake
baked into the cake
baked into the cake

‘Another Drop of Blood’ — #lyrics to a ‘woke’ #Pop #Rock Song

Another Drop of Blood
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

you tell me your gun
has only two problems
rust and the liberal
we’ll I think you’re a fool
I sure do
’cause
our children are dying

your gun is getting rusty
rusty from the fresh blood
of the innocent
rusty blood
rusty blood
can you fire off another round
rusty blood
rusty blood
or are you down for the count

another day another drop of blood
the streets run red with it
(or at least it seems)
but tell me again, Mr.
how can’t handle a little control
is your weapon slippery with all that blood?

your gun is getting rusty
rusty from the fresh blood
of the innocent
rusty blood
rusty blood
can you fire off another round
rusty blood
rusty blood
or are you down for the count

(bridge)
all we want is a little peace
a little peace and quiet
a little peace and quiet
a little peace and quiet
but as long as we cling to our guns
we’ll get neither I’m afraid

your gun is getting rusty
rusty from the fresh blood
of the innocent
rusty blood
rusty blood
can you fire off another round
rusty blood
rusty blood
or are you down for the count

‘The Day America Stood Still’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock song

The Day America Stood Still
lyrics by @sheltgarner & @fatbellybella
Please give credit if you produce or perform

it was a nice spring day
much to everyone’s dismay
we all find ourselves wondering
what will happen next
is January 6th on the list
the day

America stood still
America stood still
America stood still

people talk and talk
waiting for the perp walk
the long awaited day is here
accountability is near
on the day

America stood still
America stood still
America stood still

(bridge)
activity on the street
with strangers gathered to meet
everyone is waiting for the time
when we can all grin and shine
stepping to the beat of the sound of
the day

America stood still
America stood still
America stood still

‘Make Them Work’ #lyrics to a R&B #pop song

Most of this is just a direct quote from an Erykah Badu tweet that I formated for lyrics. But I did add some. I see this is a R&B pop fusion song.

Make Them Work
lyrics by @sheltgarner & @fatbellybella
Please give credit if you produce or perform

Remember
Soon as you start shining
with bright positive light
you will irritate the dark souls
They will attack
with all there lil might
They desperately hate
for their misery to be interrupted

How dare you shine
and make them work
and make them work
and make them work

but you don’t lack the truth
it’s clear to me
if you shine bright as can be
you won’t be late
when they call your name
on Judgement Day

How dare you shine
and make them work
and make them work.
and make them work

(bridge)
I know you are ready
for the love you need
because the light shines from thee
like a bit of grace
straight out of the gate

How dare you shine
and make them work
and make them work
and make them work

‘Silence is My Psychedelic’ #lyrics to a #pop song

Silence is My Psychedelic
lyrics by @sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

when all is lost
and your boat will go nowhere
don’t be afraid to say nothing
while screaming in your heart
that’s what I do whenever I need
to jump start
silence is my psychedelic

clear the decks
I say with a lie
because I know that
silence is my psychedelic
silence is my psychedelic
silence is my psychedelic

everywhere I go I know I’m on a roll
the world can’t be flat
I know for a fact
but as long as you’re by my side
I can sigh knowing I can speak my peace
and lie next to you in silence because

silence is my psychedelic
clear the decks
I say with a lie
because I know that
silence is my psychedelic
silence is my psychedelic
silence is my psychedelic

(bridge)
say is loud and proud
sometimes you need to shout
into the void
to prove you’re allowed

silence is my psychedelic
clear the decks
I say with a lie
because I know that
silence is my psychedelic
silence is my psychedelic
silence is my psychedelic

‘Spiritual Responsibility’ – #lyrics to a #pop #rock song

Spiritual Responsibility
lyrics by @sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

you don’t know what you’re doing
while you’re breaking my heart
but I can tell you where to start
place your hands on body
so we can reach a higher plane
spiritual responsibility
is where it’s at

have some control
when you’re touching a god
spiritual responsibility
spiritual responsibility

you’re a one of the chosen
bring me closer to higher ground
I just might touch the sky
because of the way you feel
when we’re rolling in the clouds
it’s all because of

spiritual responsibility
is where it’s at
have some control
when you’re touching a god
spiritual responsibility
spiritual responsibility

(bridge)
out of control
when I’m on a roll
there’s no way
for me express
how I feel when you caress

spiritual responsibility
is where it’s at
have some control
when you’re touching a god
spiritual responsibility
spiritual responsibility
