There's nothing I'd rather do than play music. I write my own songs, but also enjoy playing the work of Kate Wolf, Richard Thompson, the Grateful Dead, and many other musicians too numerous to mention. The songs I write tap into the same veins of insight, inspiration, and ecstasy that my favorite musicians channel so well.

Story behind the song
this song was inspired by the bum rap that 3rd party candidates get due to the way this country's elections are set up
Lyrics
Are you tired of the Republican? Tired of the Democrat? Tired of old-boy leadership All rich and mostly fat? There's another political color Besides the red and blue That color's green But before you switch I've got a little warning for you If you're a Green Party figure They'll treat you like a chigger If you're a Green Party figure They'll scratch you 'till they bleed If you're a Green Party figure Right in your face they'll snigger If you're a Green Party figure They'll yank you like a weed Well you can say out loud "I'm Green and I'm proud" Say it 'till the cows come home And no bull, boy, like a lonely bull You'll be out standing in your field all alone The newsers won't return your calls No matter what you say They don't care what answers you got You ain't in their play If you're a Green Party figure You've got a "kick me" sticker If you're a Green Party figure They'll treat you like a piece of spit If you're a Green Party figure You won't get no satisfaction If you're a Green Party figure You'd best get used to it You gotta Speak the truth the way you see it Can't buy them corporate lies 'Cause if you start eatin' their baloney You'll be dead before you die Dead before you die I say dead Before You die! They say "two's democracy, three's a crowd, So vote for one of us. Too many choices just gets confusing, So quiet in the back of the bus. Don't question the basic assumptions That create the rich and the poor Play the Republicrat game, my friend, Or we'll show you the door." If you're a Green Party figure Your hide had better get thicker If you're a Green Party figure Slings and arrows gonna rain on you If you're a Green Party figure They'll cuss you with great vigor But if you're a Green Party figure What else can you do? I say what else can you do? I say what Else Can You Do?
