WhatGoesRound
words and music by DannyBulla/Trendlaser
What goes around
Comes around
Isn't it so
Playing some tracks
By Superchunk
Along came a punk
Said he had some skunk
And would I like
To buy some
I say, yeah!
I'd like to try some
Paid up for it
Happy to score it
Until later I realized
You know who
Pulled a switcheroo
I was angry at that punk
Selling me bunk
What goes around
Comes around
Isn't it so
Heard somebody ripped him
For a kilo of blow
Oh Oh Oh
Now he knows
Broken promises
Lies and deceit
Trying to return something
Without a receipt
Some people put so much effort
In various nefarious schemes
If they applied that wit
To something legit
They'd be richer
Than their wildest dreams
Can you make amends
Well, that depends
Don't you think
It's worth a try
Better than living a lie
As sure as the earth spins
Round and 'round and 'round
Whatever you send out into it
Is gonna hit you from behind
Learn this lesson
And you're good to go
What goes around
Comes around
Isn't it so
Laser beams
So it seems
By any means
Can cut through reams
Of whatever is in the way
Of your dreams
So be cool
What goes around
Comes around
Isn't it so

TheMoreYouKnow
Words and Music by Danny Bulla/Trendlaser
Opportune looter
Active shooter
What did you lose in the hurricane
Saying you're lazy
Or just plain crazy
I'm thinking everybody must be insane
Religion's a fail
So many people in jail
No money to get out on bail
While you're watching the pope
Your kids are on dope
And killing themselves
Because they cannot cope
Oh my dear friends
They did a number on you
What can you do
Oh my gullible friend
They did a number on you
What will you do
With outstretched arms opened wide
C'mon c'mon c'mon we're on your side
Too many preachers
Not enough teachers
Corporate greed
Has trumped your need
Stole a billion
Gave back a million
To appease the rank and file
At least, for awhile
California fires
Filthy liars
Prominent men
With unholy desires
Imperfection
Misdirection
The message is clear
Nobody wants to hear it
Oh my dear friends
They did a number on you
What can you do
Oh my gullible friend
The more you know
The less you know
With outstretched arms opened wide
C'mon c'mon c'mon we're on your side
Information overload
The more you know
The less you know
Information overload
The more you know
The less you know
Information overload
Going down the wrong road
Reported an action
Printed a retraction
What do you know
What do you know
The more you know
The less you know

tracks to follow
words and music by dannybulla/trendlaser
like footprints in the snow
for you to see and follow
follow follow follow
like footprints in the snow
for you to see and follow
follow follow follow
you know what they say
in the circus, anyway
there's a sucker born
everyday
think it's true
thinking you know a few
never stop to think
it could be you
never thought I was
maybe just because
i have an attitude
like a street punk does
thought I was pretty slick
got a big kick
playing in a band
in a faraway land
it took me broke
between that and the coke
don't be waiting for a punchline
cuz it ain't no joke
had a change of scene
i got myself clean
you see I was caught
somewhere in between
somewhere in between
like footprints in the snow
for you to see and follow
follow follow
like footprints in the snow
for you to see and follow
follow follow
made some tracks
for you to follow
follow follow
when I disappear
I will disappear

So Fine
Words and Music by Danny Bulla/Trendlaser
Look at you now
Let me dry those tears
Looks like you've been crying
For years and years
I know you had a tough time
Things got rough
It's good to know
You finally had enough
After all of that
And the changes to come
You'll be needing time to think
And you should be taking some
Now, don't get me wrong, but
I've got something to say
Think I better tell you now
Before someone else
Gets in the way
I'll be here
I'll be here
I'll be here
I'll be right here
When you're ready
I'll be right here
When you're ready
I'll be right here
When you're ready to love
Someone again
Someone like me
That would be so fine
If you were mine

BeTheBest
Words and music by Danny Bulla/Trendlaser
How long can you stare
Before you blink
How long can you hide
What you really think
How far can you run
Before you need to rest
How far would you go
To be the best
Be the best
There were moments
I could reach you
I think the best times
I ever had
I'll kiss the hurt goodbye now
Don't expect me to
Pretend I'm glad
Maybe I was under sedatives
I didn't destroy the negatives
As I tore up and stomped on your pictures
I had to stop--
If you don't want to fear tomorrow
You've gotta work on it every day
Don't forget to be thankful, honey
For the love that comes your way
Nobody can take it away
You're blowing my mind
One day you'll find
You're just a little piece of yesterday
A little piece of yesterday
So be your best
Be the best

Something Great
Words and music by Danny Bulla/Trendlaser
Oooh I feel it
Today's the day
I won't big deal it
About yesterday
Why you had to steal it
I really don't know
It was a crushing blow
That was then
Today is now
And I'm thinking Wow
Today, I'm gonna do something great
Today, I'm gonna do something great
I just can't wait
Today, I'm gonna do something great
Wanted to yesterday
But it got too late
Today I'm gonna do something great
What will it be
Something deep inside of me
By the grace of God
Or by the hand of fate
Today I'm gonna do something great
Oh, I can hardly wait
Today, I'm gonna do something great
So, if you should see me, by the way
Poised like I'm on the verge
Please, don't get in the way
Even if you feel the urge
Today, I'm gonna do something great!

TheWayItIs
Words and music by DannyBulla/Trendlaser
Alright
There's something to be said about
Righteous might
It helps to believe
When you're in a fight
You are in the right
Gotta do what you gotta do
To survive
If you want to stay alive
Don't you count on mercy
If you let yourself get beat
You're on your own, baby
When you're on the street
So, don't go looking for a fight
Don't take offense
With every little slight
Don't go looking
For a fight
When you're out there
Away from home
Especially, if you are alone
Be aware
If evil comes at you
You must do what you must do
Go for the throat
Go for the eyes
Crack them with whatever you find
Cut them down to size
What I know
From what I've seen
You're much better off
If you avoid this scene
Be on your way
Always be aware
Of your surroundings
And of who may be there
I'm sorry, so sorry, but
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
I'm sorry, so sorry
That's the way it is
That's the way it is
