Chemical Man 04:17
Chemical Man (lyrics by Chewy Marzolo.) I know a man named Iodine Sam Who don’t give a damn what you’ve got in your hand Sells his wares from a government van He’s a Chemical Man I know a girl named Kerosine She’s the prettiest thing you’ve ever seen She don’t believe in being mean But when the deal goes down she’s a killing machine Whacha want (from the Chemical Man)? Whacha need (from the Chemical Man)? Whacha want (from the Chemical Man)? When you wanna bleed . I knew a man named Hannibal Dread Chemical Man tried to take his head He did some time in the Federal pen Then the Chemical Man came and struck him dead Whacha want (from the Chemical Man)? Whacha need (from the Chemical Man)? Whacha want (from the Chemical Man)? When you wanna bleed released November 26, 2022 Chewy Marzolo-Vocals, piano, drums and percussion. Rich Morin-Guitar and vocals. Neil D. Young-Bass and vocals.

Right On the Money (Lyrics by Chewy Marzolo) It's a long way back to places you've only dream about, You can't follow your footprints in the snow, The pale orange dusk reminds of where we really stand, The long shadows tell how far we've left to go- Somewhere someone walks down the very same circle, Hopes to find gold pennies to fill their due, Blind and torn by the tears that stain the warm dust, Heart that's pure, say the word and I'll come find you- Chorus- That one time she hit it right on the money, You'll never have to work in that place again, You and I will swim in milk and honey, (honey) And we'll drive down California until it ends- I'm sick to death of digging holes in the quicksand, And coming up for air with a case of the bends, We'll have one more before we go, I found those footprints in the snow, We ain't never going down this road again- Prison fences line the road in reveries, Between lines the windmills in their spin, How many a soul can truly guide the great road? How many know just where they've really been? Chorus- That one time he hit it right on the money, You'll never have to work in that place again, You and I will swim in milk and honey, (honey) And we'll drive down California until it ends Released November 26, 2022 Chewy Marzolo-Vocals, piano, drums and percussion.

The Strife 07:40
The Strife (Lyrics by Chewy Marzolo.) They will tell you that you're urgently needed in the back of the line, Remiss politicians dismiss that you're a gull in the grind, They will tell you that they need you, Turn around and bleed you, Bleed-You-Dry, But you know they're wrong, Their song's been wrong all along- They will tell you that your destiny is vested in the wrest of their grift, Destination is obligation to be certain and swift, Refuse to be abused, You got nothing to lose, Knock-Them-Down with all you've got- 'Cause you know when you're that far down, You've got to fight, Turn it around, Don't let fools bought and sold, Hold control- You just needed the strife, to sing your song, To let go of that piece of your soul held down for so long, Tell me, do you think they really know their right from their wrong? You will find that piece of your heart's been right all along, You will find that piece of your heart's been right all along- They will tell you their convictions are auspicious to society's game, Then frame the blame and the shame on the backs of the tame, Their game is avaricious, Heartless and vicious, Drag you down, But you're not their clown, 'Cause you know when you're that far down, You've got to fight, Turn it around, Don't let fools bought and sold, Hold control- You just needed the strife, to sing your song, To let go of that piece of your soul that been held down for so long, Tell me, do you think they really know their right from their wrong? You will find that piece of your heart's been right all along, You will find that piece of your heart's been right all along- Well, you know that when the game is over you've got to turn it around, You'll forget all convictions and society's restrictions that brought you down, Their game is avaricious and heartless and vicious But don't let it drag you down, Cause you know how far down you can go when you turn it around- You just needed the strife, to sing your song, To let go of that piece of your soul that been held down for so long, Tell me, do you think they really know their rights from their wrongs? You will find that piece of your heart's been right all along, You will find that piece of your heart's been right all along, You will find that song in your heart's been right all along, You will find that song in your heart's been right all along. credits released September 26, 2020 Rich Morin-Electric guitar.

Hangin' Tree 05:43
Hangin’ Tree (Lyrics by Chewy Marzolo) I’ve laid down in the shallow water Running thick and crimson With the blood of Kings Ain’t no grace in dying in their slaughter They’ll try and us when that church bell rings They’ll try and hang us when that church bell rings There ain’t much left but whiskey and sugar Ain’t much left they can come take away The blood in your tears in running thick as molasses Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away Out on the hill There’s a Hangin’ Tree It waiting for you And its waiting for me I’ve seen men Coming down from the mountains Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away I don’t believe in guardian angels I think mine’s fallen And lost his way Don’t make a sound when death comes knockin’ Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away Out on the hill There’s a Hangin’ Tree It waiting for you And its waiting for me I’ve seen men Coming down from the mountains Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away There are those who believe that money is power And they’ll try and fill you head with blame With a wink and a smile they’ll send you off to slaughter They will try and and make you feel ashamed Don’t you ever, ever feel ashamed I will not let them make you feel ashamed Don’t you ever, ever feel ashamed I will not let them make you feel ashamed Don’t you ever, ever feel ashamed Out on the hill There’s a Hangin’ Tree It waiting for you And its waiting for me I’ve seen men Coming down from the mountains Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away Ain’t gonna let ‘em come and take you away Copyright 2020. credits released March 3, 2021 Rich Morin-Electric guitar, Chewy Marzolo and The Passive assassins-The rest. license all rights reserved
