Bury Yer Heroes
c., 20 Vlayman
Yeah-eah-eah, you bought into it all
Shouldered the gun, like yer great great grandpa
Whistled dixie, learned all the songs
Stood for the cause
Woah-oh-oh, you showed up
Inna boots and an uniform, y'all made up
Shouldered the gun, claimed right of law
Stood for the cause
CH:
Eventually, it all becomes clear, y' know
Comes a time you have to bury yer hero
Bridge:
So-o-o, excercised yer rights
go-go-go ridin' in the night
Boogooloo shirt so bright
yer a fool, yer a tool, that's right I'll shine the light
Hey-ey-ey, my-my-my-my
You think yer gonna mebbe make someone die
You-ou-ou, will be the one to cry
Fall for the cause
CH:
Eventually, it all becomes clear, y' know
Comes a time you have to bury yer hero
Or bury yourself

John Lewis' Necessary Trouble
c. '20 Vlayman
(Lyric adapted from #goodtrouble
Rep. John Lewis, JUNE 2018 - used
with good intent and acceptance of
any trouble thereby)
Do not get lost in a sea of despair,
Be hopeful, be optimistic
Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year,
it is the struggle of a lifetime.
Never, ever be afraid to make some noise
Never, ever be afraid to make some noise
Never, ever be afraid to make some noise
and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.

Inbetween Times
c. '20 Vlayman
Check what I'm sayin'
Check out the games I ain't playing
Check out what it means to be
An American in this in between
Tell you what my message is
Tell you now to to listen to this
Tell you what it means to be
An American in this in between
Inbetween times
Gonna give you all the fact
Gonna give you more than you ask
Gonna give you what it means to be
An American in this in between
Inbetween times
You got what it is I'm sayin
You got what is the game they're playin'
You got what it means to be
An American in this in between
Inbetween times
Inbetween crimes
Inbetween lies
Inbetween times

Kneelin on Yer Neck
c. '20 Vlayman
Mebbe it's time you gotta taste of what you brung
definitely time to sing the song of the unsung
Mebbe it's time that you learn you're no better'n pond scum
mebbe it's time you ought plan how you will run
You think kneeling on a neck will kill it?
Well, will kneelin'on yer neck stop all yer shit?
You fire this this one and then you fire that
Some one objects and you go on the attack
You can do whatever you want you can do it all
It ain't matter you think, nothin' 'bout the law
You think kneeling on a neck will kill it?
Well, will kneelin'on yer neck stop all yer shit?
Out in the streets so you order up the gas and thugs
liberty's grave is something you're proud to have gone and dug
Good people on both sides is one way you try to explain
Your disregard for freedom, respect and other's pain

Smell, Taste, Feel
c. '20 Vlayman
Smell that thing
scarin' you it's so near
smell that thing
smell that fear
Taste that taste thing
stale, pissy salty tears
taste that thing
taste that fear
Knows yer name
That thing that's hangin' on
Knows yer name
That thing will bring you down
CH: Feel that thing
breathin' down yer neck
feel that thing
Feels like death
See that thing
wrapped around yer neck
See that thing
Looks like death
Stop
Bridge: V 4x stop
Touch that thing
Feels like hot acid rain
Touch that thing
feels like half yer comin' pain
Smell that thing
scarin' you it's so near
smell that thing
smell that fear
Taste that taste thing
stale, pissy salty tears
taste that thing
taste that fear
CH out

Vlayman Chicago, Illinois
Fat, bald and old - could I be anymo' rock-n-roll?
I play guitar, bass, some keys and percussion, and I try to
vocalize. I write and record, and I do so obsessively. Also, I like martoonies, a lot, and I raise my kids, whom I also like, a lot.
Look for me at the TapeOp and TalkBass forums, where I'm vvv, or in various bars in the Loop.
