New song, 3/8/2011:
Fill That Page
Got my hermit permit
got my keyboard stance
got my pen and paper
got my great big chance
got my rhythm method
got to fight stage fright
got my big deadline
got my show to write
So suck it, everything else
Just me and words in the world
Just pen to the paper now
and filling the page
the great blank page
fill that page
write that show
fill that great blank page
fill that great blank page
got my courier new
got my size twelve font
got my capslock lyrics
got my own “I want”
got my lonely days
got more sleepless nights
got my carpal tunnel
got my name in lights
So suck it, everything else
Only music and me in the world
Just fingers on keyboard now
and filling the stage
the great blank stage
fill that stage
make that show
fill that great blank stage
fill that great blank stage
Here’s a song I wrote awhile ago about Bernard Madoff.
These dudes are in it too.
BERNY’S SAGA
Lyrics Jason Hart
Music Ok Kyun Kang
CHARACTERS
LAWYER The prosecuting attorney
J. EZRA MERKIN, People who had their money stolen by Madoff in his scams
KEVIN BACON,
KYRA SEDGEWICK
SETTING
A court room. Bernard Madoff is being tried for fraud. A painting of Charles Ponzi hangs on one wall.
LAWYER
Young berny had a lemonade stand
Sold it by the pint and made a grand
People all said berny’s was the best bargain brand
What they didn’t know was that the sugar was sand
CHORUS
Oh Berny Berny
Earny Earny Earny’d way too much
Oh madoff
Made off with our money, pride and such
Oh Ponzi
We built a pyramid here for you
Oh Suckers
LAWYER
You say jump and they’re a kangaroo
CHORUS
We trust the rich too much
LAWYER
In college Berny had perfect A’s
Got his professors’ respect and praise
Sometimes though his papers were signed with Jose’s
Seems he’d hired immigrants to write his essays
CHORUS
Oh Berny Berny
Learny learny learn’d to make us fools
Oh Madoff
Mailed off all his cash gold and jewels
Oh Ponzi
We dug ourselves such a big money pit
Oh Suckers
KYRA SEDGEWICK & KEVIN BACON
Tell ‘us we’ll be rich and we’ll eat shit
CHORUS
We trust the rich too much
LAWYER
When Berny formed his first company
He invested cash for the bourgeoisie
Profits dropped like ripe fruit from a papaya tree
But funds came secretly from a bank robbery
CHORUS
Oh Berny Berny
Burndy Burndy Burned to be fat rich
Oh Madoff
Marked off next to our names: “Bitch”
Oh Scammers,
You’ll get our money any way you can
Oh Suckers,
J. EZRA MERKIN
They say you can’t scam an honest man
CHORUS
We trust the rich too much
LAWYER
Berny was the bearer of great trust
Juggled his bubbles with upward thrust
But the stock market crashed and all his balls went bust
That’s when the gold was revealed to be pyrite dust
CHORUS
We trust the richy richy richy way too too much
Original model for the Millenium Falcon
LAWYER
If a well-heeled savior
Says he can make you some dough
Do yourself a favor
And just say no!
CHORUS
Oh oh, just say no
Oh oh, just say no
If you savor the flavor of your dough
Do yourself a favor and just say no

“Fight’n and Kiss’n”
SILAS, to JENNA
My folk’re fearless and forgiving.
They’ll speak and then’ll they listen.
I mean what’s really the point of living,
If the fights ain’t go no kissin’?
Current time is:
10/09/2010 5:19 PM
My folk’s guns feed their families
They can’t afford no hams or pullets.
And they point’m at each other
When they ain’t loaded with bullets.
Current time is:
10/09/2010 5:28 PM
Oh, we ain’t gonna hurt nobody!
If we’re shooting, then we’re missing!
Oh, we all adore each other!
FIRST MAN
For my uncle’s his brother
SECOND MAN
And my aunt’s his mother
THIRD MAN, to DARLING
And your sister’s his lover.
DARLING
What!
CAROLINE
It’s not true!
(She runs off!)
TRIO of THREE MEN
AND ANYWAY WE GOTTA ALL STILL LIVE TOGETHER
DARLING
SO….
WHAT’S THE POINT OF FIGHTING WITHOUT KISSING!
