Social Raygun I'm not ashamed of my struggle I give all to my life But sometimes life does not reciprocate And I get caught up in strife The poor stay poor if the poor stay silent So what am I suppose to do? When everything works against me It's clear I'm not like you I want to tell you about my life It's a sad sad story But it's my story I may be down, but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm alright You will not understand me Because you are not me, never will be But you will hear me, I will be heard, I will be heard You can't control me with your social raygun You can't control me with your social raygun I've made some choices that weren't the best I take the blame for that But now I'm trying so damn hard to fly high and make up for that But you're determined to see me fail And your policies are proof of that You're a bank, you're a school, you're a government fool And I wash my hands of that You can't control me with your social raygun You can't control me with your social raygun I go to work most everyday I've got my bills to pay They give me just enough, to make it tough To keep my head above water It's with regret I stare at debt Cuz someone let me borrow I wonder how I'll ever pay what all comes due tomorrow You can't control me with your social raygun You can't control me with your social raygun Andrew L Lewis 06-26-13

Plastic Crown Is it true what they say? It seems that maybe you lost your way You were a bright shinning star But you flew out too far Now you feel all alone You might not make it on your own I know you had to do What you had to do I know you had to try But you could not fly Was it worth all those tears? Did they help you kill your fears? Or did you let yourself down When you broke your plastic crown? But you can't throw it away Because you might wear it again someday Now the walls close in on you Your soul has nothing better to do Than to think of all the bad you've done And the times you had to run Those same eyes that sold your lie Will never let you cry Andrew L Lewis 10/13/10

As We Drive 03:53
As We Drive I am a lonely boy Sitting in my car And you are a lonely girl Never been too far Looking at me as I'm looking at you And we smiled and held hands as we drove And you are what I'm all about When I'm next to you And we ride along singing any song When you're next to me Roll down every window Let your hair down There's music on the radio Can you dig that sound? Looking at me as I'm looking at you And we smiled and held hands as we drove And you are what I'm all about When I'm next to you As we ride along singing any song When you're next to me Looking at me as I'm looking at you And we smiled and held hands as we drove All night long All night long Andrew L Lewis 11/13/10

Do Ya? 03:01
Do Ya? Do you ever feel like the one Always on the mend? Do you ever feel like the sun Headed down again? Does it seem like you never win? Losing is a bore Do you ever feel like a child Afraid to ask for more? Do ya? Do ya? Do you ever feel like a pearl On a string so tight? Naked and exposed to the world And standing in the light Is it you that feels so alone? Afraid you might be right Holding back you feel so confused You're running from the fight Do ya? Do ya? Do you ever spit in the wind Just to feel alive? Shooting straight up into the sky And hoping you survive Do you ever feel like a spy Watching your own life? Waiting to be stabbed from behind And handing them the knife Do ya? Do ya? Andrew L Lewis 10-10-09

When I Was the King of Rock & Roll When I was a young man I could do most anything With lots of friends around me I would buy them everything The biggest house in the neighborhood The fastest cars to drive them in And all the people knew me Where are they now I'm at the end? They used to say "you're groovy" They wanna sock it to me They really really loved me then They used to want my autograph Drink the water from my bath They really really loved me then When I was the king of rock & roll When I was the king of rock & roll With lots of girls around me Can we have your number please? Can we see you after the show? We really love the songs you sing They used to say "you're groovy" They wanna sock it to me They really really loved me then They used to want my autograph Drink the water from my bath They really really loved me then When I was the king of rock & roll When I was the king of rock & roll When I was the king of rock & roll I am the king of rock & roll Andrew L Lewis 10/20/15

Fly Fly Fly 04:43
Fly Fly Fly Where are you going? When will you ever come down? You're up in the heavens, Pretending you can't see the ground But sooner or later, All that is up must come down. The indifference that guides you, Won't help you reach solid ground So fly baby fly Fly baby fly Where are you going? Is this what you had on your mind? Was it always your plan, Just to pick up and leave me behind? So fly baby fly Fly baby fly Fly Fly Fly on by now Fly Fly Fly Fly Fly Fly on by now Fly Fly Fly Fly Fly Fly on by now Fly Fly Fly So fly baby fly Andrew L Lewis 5/5/10

Helpless 04:10
Helpless I'm watching you But what can I do? I'd like to see you through But I can't help you You seem so unafraid I don't believe it's true I'm so fucking helpless When It comes to saving you And my words are not enough You wouldn't listen anyway And my love is not enough To take your pain away I know you want to fly Above the fear that living brings I've seen you when you cry But those tears won't give you wings I'm so damn helpless I'm so damn helpless They pushed you around And they laughed behind your back And every time they said goodbye Became a brick to throw right back You wanted to be loved by them You wanted love at any cost You thought you'd found your way back in But you never found what you never lost I'm so damn helpless I'm so damn helpless I feel So damn helpless I feel So damn helpless Andrew L Lewis 6-15-08

On the Edge 05:52
On The Edge Standing on the edge The edge of the world If we take just one step We'll go straight to the bottom Laughing as we fall It feels just like freedom And we hold on to each other As we fall down from the precipice Swimming in your eyes Your eyes are my paradise Standing on the edge The edge with my girl She calls out to me Come take my hand And I'm flying by her side I'm into her deeply And she shines like the stars That we pass in the southern skies Swimming in your eyes Your eyes are my paradise Andrew L Lewis 07-01-11

Return of the Bolshevik Somebody owes me something I see you in your car Your money takes you far But now you owe me something from your money jar You have more than I do I deserve as much as you And now you owe me something Cuz you're paying for me too So who are you? The needy needing The hungry feeding The bleeders bleeding Occupy You're in your lovely home With room enough to roam And you know you owe me something I'm standing outside alone You've made enough for three Now everyone can see That you clearly owe me something So share your wealth with me And we will occupy We will occupy Cuz you clearly owe us something And we're not satisfied And we will occupy We will occupy Cuz you clearly owe us something Until we're satisfied So who are you? The needy needing The hungry feeding The bleeders bleeding Occupy Occupied Somebody owes me something Occupied Somebody owes me something Andrew L Lewis 06-12-13

The Factory 05:57
The Factory You're selling out again Your money is your master You're telling me again You've just got to work a little faster So here I come again To save the world from another disaster Will it ever end? How long can I go on being who I don't want to be? Don't wanna be like you Too many hats Wearing too many faces Don't wanna be like you Too many lies Covering too many bases I couldn't be like you With all the right moves In all the wrong places What can I do? How long can I play this game with you? I might be the one Who never gets the things he wants But I'm looking at myself At Least it's me I see I might be the one Whos always living week to week But when Im looking at myself No one I'd rather be I don't want to be anyone else Can't they let me be myself? I don't know if I can be anyone else Andrew L Lewis 02/25/11
