The Road to Oblivion...
Words and music by Frederick J. Benjamin 11/23/08
Can anyone help me find, Help me find the road
Oohh the Road to Oblivion
I think I lost my way walking yesterday
Staring at the sun
Oh How I long to be somewhere where nothing is
OOoohh and never will be
*** Oh Oh Oh Oblivion ***
Well it seems the whole wide world is walking down that path
Down the path with me
I wanna get a front row seat, don't wanna miss a thing
I want to watch it blow away

CHAINS ~ words and music by F. Benjamin 2010
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the sky rip open ~ Let the storm come through
Feel the roar of the thunder ~ Commin' down on you
I remember a time when I was wild and free
How the hell did I let you ever get to me
I Gotta Cut loose ~ I gotta break free
Gotta get these chains off of me
You know you tie me down and you break my back
and you never cut me any slack
I Gotta Cut loose ~ I gotta break free
Gotta get these chains off of me
Let the sky rip open ~ Let the storm come through
Feel the roar of the thunder ~ Commin' down on you
I Gotta Cut loose ~ I gotta break free
Come on get these chains off of me
You're like an open sore, like a livin' disease
You know you bring me ~ bring me to my knees
I Gotta Cut loose ~ I gotta break free
Gotta get these chains off of me

Favorite Disaster - By F. Benjamin 2010
----------------------------------------------------------
You tell me I'm worthless so often now yeah I feel it
You tell me I'm ugly, When I look in the mirror I see it
Ohhh I guess I still love you.
Don't really know what I'm after
I guess I was tryin to be Your Favorite Disaster
I guess I was tryin to be Your Favorite Disaster
Ooooh I wonder why that is girl,
I wonder what you're thinking
What goes on inside your head luv
I guess I was hoping to be Your Favorite Disaster
Ah Why can't ya tell me, tell me what you're after
Ohhhh Your Favorite Disaster
Oooh Feel Me, feel the pain and the suffering you put me through
Oooh Be Me, I wish you could walk for a mile in my shoes
Ohhhh Your Favorite Disaster
Why can't you let me in, why can't you let me share with you
Every time I look around
everybody's puttin' me down for what you said
Ohhhh Your Favorite Disaster
I know I'm a little bit crazy for even thinkin' that you'd like me
You're telling all your friends I'm obnoxious and I'm nasty
Ohhhh Your Favorite Disaster

Redneck Monkey
words and music by F. Benjamin
===========================================
Listen up now 'cause I got somethin' to say.
I can't tell you enough how much I wanna get away.
From the noise and confusion and hustle of every day.
Gonna go back to the mountains that's where I'm gonna stay.
If you want to baby you can come with me.
Yeah back to the basics of sweet simplicity.
*** Well I'm a Redneck Monkey - and Hillbilly Junkie.
Say what you will but I just gotta be free.
I like stump jumpin', and I can do some thumpin'
on your head now buddy if ya don't like the looks of me. ***
I love the smell of the forest after it rains.
In the hills of the Adirondacks or up in Maine.
Where the only sound of civilization is the sound
of a distant train. And everything that's done is never
done in vain.
Repeat ***
For 20 some odd years I've been away.
And I'm longing for the life I had back in the day.
City livin' just chewed me up and spit me out.
It gets me so frustrated I just wanna shout.
Listen up now yeah I got somethin to say.
Gonna lay it down right here right now today.
****
Redneck Monkey.

Atmosphere - words and music by F. Benjamin 2009
------------------------------------------------
Lately it seems I been livin' in a dream
How could it be that everything's gone wrong
==============================
I've got to get away from here
I need to rest my bones
(I need to rest my weary bones)
I've got to get some Atmosphere
Oh I need to be alone
==============================
The noise and confusion the hustle in the street
Too many people I can not compete
Mindless they shuffel along on their feet
So much anxiety my heart skips a beat
=============== repeat
(guitar lead)
=============== repeat
repeat first verse
Something's gotta give - I swear that aint no way to live
Something's gotta give -
Gotta get away - get away from here
Gotta get away - Gotta get away
Oh-O Away from here - Gotta find some Atmosphere

Revelation -by F. Benjamin 2008
Son of man what have you done
The Earth is Cursed with your blood
When Children grow what will they say
when they inherit your shallow grave
Will they succeed where we have failed
Get off the Cross on which they were nailed
What will they reap, what will they sow
The Earth is theirs, It's there only Home
Above the Earth there is the sky
Above the sky there is no life
Beyond the Stars who knows what lies
A question asked a million times
A Universe of secrecy, If someone gave the key to me
I'd drop it in the Deepest Sea
In fear of those who would Rape her Sanctity
Brother what are we doing, Why cant we have a plan
Why cant change Destiny, the Destiny of Man
Brother what are we doing,
Are we so Deaf, Blind and Stupid
that we can't come up with one
Let's have a Revelation - I know we could if we try
Don't need no Revolution - no war ain't the solution.
I know we don't all have to die.

Brief History of Man ===================
words and music by F. Benjamin 2007
====================================
It's very complicated... the history of humankind
Dreadful yet amusing, staggering like a drunkard
Throughout the sands of time
Psychotic, Neurotic, Obsessive, Ironic
If we were any more uncouncious we'd be catatonic
Something is missing and we can't seem to find it
Hunters and Gatherers, Subdivided in clans
It did not take very long for us to become
A Killer, A Savage, a Blood Thirsty Beast
Hungry for power and control
Willing to sell his soul to sit at the table and join the feast
Won't you tell me please if you know the answer
Don't you think it's time to draw the line
Have we gone to far, walked on Holy ground
Did we spit in your face - could'nt we rebound
On your knees you beg and pleed but there may not be any mercy
The decision is ours yes we hold the futur
in our feeble hands, sorry but I for one
Don't put much faith in mankind
Just take a look at what we have become
It's not very pretty is it
Our love for ourselves and material gain
Prejudice and hatred causing such strain
Mother Nature doesn't get mad she gets even my friend
And I hope you can see that she's at the end of her rope
And she's kicking our asses Earthquake Tsunami Hurricane Thrashes
Wake up smell the discord and sing out the truth
we must come together and stop all this madness or soon
soon...
man will be the next dinosaur with a bunch of small scally creatures gatherd around the
parched bones of some giant "HUMAN" wondering if we were intelligent... well obviously not!

Digital Donut
word and music by F Benjamin 2018
The World is a Digital Donut Floating out in Space
If you're lucky you might get a cheap simulation
of Cream Filling on your face
The World is a Digital Donut in an Analog Donut Shoppe
Run by an unseen Entity that puts Sprinkles on the top
The sprinkles are a distraction to occupy our mind
It keeps us simple and happy
Digitally Stupid, Dumb and Blind
Now if you don't belive me just don't put me on the shelf
Pop your head through any donut hole
and take a look for yourself
Now your vision might be glazed a bit
but when you clear your eyes
You'll see through the Donut Masters Digital Holographic Disguise
There's a bunch of little naked fat people whipping up the dough
Rolling and Cutting out Donuts and tossing them to and fro
The World is a Digital Donut it just popped in out of thin air
And if you're lucky you might just be able to get
all the frosting out of your hair
The World is a Digital Donut in an Analog Donut Shoppe
Run by an unseen Entity that puts the Glazing on the top
Now some say that he's Evil and then others say he's Good
All I know is that Son-of-a-Bitch dose'nt make Donuts very good
Digital Donut Floating out in Space.... Right in your Face
~lead~
For those skeptical and unbeliving just wait for the day
when they pull your Digital Plug right out and you go Streaming away
As you leave the hologram that was your only reality
as simple pure energy then what will you have to say
"Well I Guess the World was a Digital Donut Holy Cow and Fuckin' A"
"Watch me now as I disembark and Fly the F$#k Away!"
