We cannot wait...
Most of all
I believe

You can have

THIS IS NOT A FIRESIDE CHAT
Lyrics & Music by Mitchell Hale
This is not a fireside chat...
Never before since Jamestown and Plymouth Rock,
has our American Civilization been in such danger as now...
Never before, never before...
Never before, never before...
since Jamestown and Plymouth Rock...
This is not a fireside chat, my friends...
Exactly!

We must be the great arsenals of Democracy
American citizens...

This is not a fireside chat, my friends...
Exactly!
Exactly!
This is not a fireside chat, my friends...
Exactly!
Exactly!
Is it a negotiated peace
if a gang of outlaws
surrounds your community?
Gang of outlaws...
Gang of outlaws...
Never before since Jamestown and Plymouth Rock,
has our American Civilization been in such danger as now...
Never before, never before...
Never before, never before...

ASK NOT
Lyrics & Music by Mitchell Hale
And so my fellow Americans
Ask not
What your country can do for you
Ask what your country
and Almighty God
permitted...
For I have become the prey
of hostile powers
of hostile powers
of hostile powers
And so my fellow Americans
Ask not
What your country can do for you
Ask what your country
and Almighty God
permitted...
For I have become the prey
of the dark powers of destruction
the dark powers of destruction
the dark powers of destruction
Ask not, ask not, ask not,
Ask not...
Ask not, ask not, ask not,
Ask not...
My fellow Americans...
Now the trumpet
from the Hand of God
summons again
the absolute power to destroy
my long twilight grave,
summoned from the Hand of God
It's a long twilight grave:
my final rest
is a long twilight grave...
Ask not, ask not, ask not,
Ask not...
Ask not, ask not, ask not,
Ask not...

WORLDWIDE STRUGGLE
Lyrics & Music by Mitchell Hale
Negros! Negros!
Racial Discrimination...
Riot Proportions!
Riot Proportions!
Civil Rights Crisis!
Civil Rights Crisis!
Federal Troops!
Federal Troops!
I hope that every American,
regardless of where he lives...
will stop and examine his conscience...
about this and other related incidents...
This Nation was founded by men
of many Nations and backgrounds...
It was founded on the principle
that all men are created equal...
And that the Rights of every man
are diminished...
when the Rights of one man
are threatened...
Negros! Negros!
Racial Discrimination...
Riot Proportions!
Riot Proportions!
Civil Rights Crisis!
Civil Rights Crisis!
Federal Troops!

PRESIDENT KENNEDY IS DEAD
Lyrics & Music by Mitchell Hale
There was malice in Dallas
That bright '60's day
Was it gremlins from the Kremlin
that made sure that Johnny paid
or the fiasco in the Bay of Pigs?
Whoever it was - they didn't do it
with a couple of MiGs.
Some people know for a fact
that it was the mob
others say the CIA and FBI
were in on the job
but whether it was the commies
or just some kook
President Kennedy is now
merely a spook.
President Kennedy is dead
Oswald took a rifle and splattered open his head
Kennedy and Camelot are gone
But the memories of Kennedy linger on.
Some say Johnny would have changed
the face of the world
Others say he couldn't keep it in his pants
and only thought about girls
John Fitzgerald, Robert and Marilyn
I say to hell with all of them
President Kennedy is dead
Oswald took a rifle and splattered open his head
Kennedy and Camelot are gone
But the enemies of Kennedy linger on.
And on
And on..

Music & Lyrics by Mitchell Hale
We're here - on the surface
We're here - on the moon
It's one small step for a man
We're here, we're here
We're here - on the surface
We're here, we're here - on the moon
It's one small step for a man
We're here, we're here
I'm gonna step off the LEM now...
Getting familiar with the surface...
I'm gonna step off the LEM now...
Getting familiar on the moon...
I'm gonna step off the LEM now..
Getting familiar with the surface...
Ever so soft, that it comes up all the way to the top...

IS THERE LIFE ON MARS (AND VENUS)?
Lyrics & Music by Mitchell Hale
Interplanetary space...
Beyond the Moon...
Beyond the Moon...
And Venus...
And Venus...
Beyond effective range for data transmission...
Between Earth and the orbit of Mars...
As the crucial flyby approached
landing capsules
which may be later adaptable
to other planetary exploration
land on the Martian surface...
The Martian surface
may be as it was
a billion years ago...
a revelation!
a revelation!
Deep space probes!
Deep space probes!
Continuous monitoring!
Continuous monitoring!
Automated spacecraft!
Automated spacecraft!
Biological...
Geological...
and
Meteorological measurements
The picture data
were stored on
magnetic tape
for later playback
Yeah!
Is there life on Mars (and Venus)?
Oh Yeah!
Is there life on Mars?
Bacteria!
Bacteria!
Yeah!
Is there life on Mars (and Venus)?
Oh Yeah!
Contamination...
Oh Yeah!
Contamination, contamination...
Man in space,
Man in space,
and the scientist...
and the medical doctor,
and the scientist...
and the medical doctor,
guard against contamination:
Bacteria, mold spores, plants
and several insects...
The effect of weightlessness
on agriculture, agriculture
The effect of weightlessness
on agriculture
No significant magnetic field!
No significant magnetic field!
Changes in the radio signals
passing through the atmosphere of Mars
were recorded...
Atmospheric atmosphere...
Clean air...
Atmospheric atmosphere...
Meteorology...
Cosmic dust activity...
Cosmic rays, cosmic rays...
Atmospheric atmosphere...
Cosmic dust...
Cosmic atmosphere...
Cosmic atmosphere...
Yeah!
Is there life on Mars (and Venus)?
Oh Yeah!
Is there life on Mars?

VIRAL - Words & Music By Mitchell Hale
In the news today
there's a new killer on the way
It's gonna build to a fevered pitch
We're gonna all be Ebola's bitch
By the time we all go viral
it'll all be way too late
it's an ever downward spiral
Will we escape our fate?
Coursing through everybody's veins
in our bodies and in our brains
it's gonna grow bigger than AIDS
So be deathly afraid
With the cure caught up in red tape
all Humanity will be raped
while dealing with a silent enemy
caught in its deadly entropy
By the time we all go viral
it'll all be way too late
it's an ever downward spiral
We cannot afford to wait
By the time we all go viral
it'll all be way too late
it's a never ending spiral
We cannot hesitate
Ebola - the "germ ayatollah"
come from the land of Coca Cola
by a seat selection infection on an airplane
it's all insane
Lose our heads like ISIS
It's a crisis
It's going international
from nation to nation
bet we ration the innoculation
where the haves and wanna bes
go to war over the cost of fees
it's an atrocity
It's microscopic
I'm talking toxic
A walking apocalypse
stalking your heartbeat blips
blocking your market tips
so go cash in all your chips
If you go Viral on the internet
go in style - but don't give what you get
By the time we all go viral
it'll all be way too late
it's an ever downward spiral
Will we escape our fate?

EISENHOWER (I LIKE IKE) - Lyrics & Music By Mitchell Hale
I'm interested in Ike and this is my one big reason
why I'm interested in Ike:
He's won the acclaim of people of other nations
"The individual American is self-reliant
and wants to stand on his own feet"
That's good enough for me...
Secret reconnaissance of Russia
by high flying American U2 jets ended
when one was downed deep in Soviet territory
But the struggle for power was far from over
For months the political pattern
kept changing with kaliedoscopic speed
In Japan, fanatic students and Leftist groups
rioted for days on end
seeking to block the Mutual Defense Treaty with America
Japan's Crown Prince Akihito and Princess Michiko
celebrated the arrival of little prince Naruhito
But rioting continued
forcing cancellation of President Eisenhower's planned visit
Yeah Yeah
Eisenhower
Yeah Yeah
Eisenhower
Yeah Yeah
Eisenhower
Yeah Yeah
Eisenhower
Yeah Yeah
Eisenhower
Yeah Yeah
Eisenhower
Yeah Yeah
I Like Ike!
In Parliament, an attempt to physically prevent ratification failed
when the Speaker was carried to the platform
and called to order the session that approved the treaty
But the struggle for power was far from over
In South Africa, native protests flared
against Aparteid and Passbook Law
until Pro-Red Premier Lumumba was seized
by the forces of strongman Colonel Mobutu
Britain's Prime Minister Macmillan was but one of his targets
The United Nation's troops were called in to avert total chaos
But rioting continued
forcing cancellation of President Eisenhower's planned visit
Yeah Yeah
Eisenhower
Yeah Yeah
Eisenhower
Yeah Yeah
Eisenhower
Yeah Yeah
Eisenhower
Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah
Eisenhower
Yeah Yeah
I Like Ike!
At year's beginning and at years end,
Frenchman clashed with Frenchman
over Algerian self-determination
But the struggle for power was far from over
In New York, for the General Assembly session
was the greatest gathering of world leaders in modern times
At an extraordinary session of the United Nations,
Khrushchev continued his boisterous, boorish tactics
One of the most fateful of many informal meetings in New York
were that of Khrushchev and Castro
Castro slung closely aligned with the Communist Bloc
and seized almost all United States property in Cuba
But rioting continued
forcing cancellation of President Eisenhower's planned visit
Yeah Yeah
Eisenhower
Yeah Yeah
Eisenhower
Yeah Yeah
Eisenhower

I Like Ike!
