Thomas B. Heffner

(Verse 1)

Why do you hurt me, time after time?
Why do you constantly act like you've lost your mind?

Your anger is completely out of control,
You're causing me so much pain, down to my very soul.

You're not the victim, but the oppressor,
As a result of your behavior.

You need to calm down,
And listen to the words of our beloved Savior.

Each time you lose control and go wild,
You're disrespecting yourself,
And your reputation is defiled.

(Chorus)

Insanity is taking control of you,
Insanity is destroying your rational view.

Insanity is an endless circle of pain,
Insanity is an endless and useless game.

Insanity is destroying the love that others had for you,
Insanity is an undesirable behavior of no value.

Insanity is controlling your very life,
Insanity is a deadly two-bladed knife.

(Verse 2)

You scream with words of insanity,
You address others with hate and profanity.

Even when you're right in your argument, you're wrong,
Because your behavior allows insanity to be your accompanying song.

You show no remorse for the things you say or do,
Most of your claims are not even actually true.

You seem to like chaos,
And causing torment for others.

You go into a rage over one thing or another.

(Chorus)

Insanity is taking control of you,
Insanity is destroying your rational view.

Insanity is an endless circle of pain,
Insanity is an endless and useless game.

Insanity is destroying the love that others had for you,
Insanity is an undesirable behavior of no value.

Insanity is controlling your very life,
Insanity is a deadly two-bladed knife.

(Verse 3)

Everyone is tired of your ongoing act,
Your sanity is no longer intact.

So you need to leave,
And find some help that is overdue.

Your present behavior,
And view of reality,
You can't continue to pursue.

Else you'll be standing all alone,
Without any family or friends.

You must take control of yourself,
And make amends.

Stop turning every celebration into a bloody war,
Because none of us will tolerate your insanity anymore.

(Bridge)

Look at yourself in a mirror,
And listen to the words you say.

You turn every situation into a fight,
Each and every day.

Committing the same acts,
With no new results each time,
Is insanity.

You are slowly losing your grip on reality...
And forsaking your very own humanity.

(Chorus)

Insanity is taking control of you,
Insanity is destroying your rational view.

Insanity is an endless circle of pain,
Insanity is an endless and useless game.

Insanity is destroying the love that others had for you,
Insanity is an undesirable behavior of no value.

Insanity is controlling your very life,
Insanity is a deadly two-bladed knife.

(Outro)

So stop this insanity,
And become a rational man.

It's time to come up with a better plan...
It's time healing began.

(Verse 1)
No matter what I say or do,
It never is right according to you.
The disrespect is more than I can handle,
Our relationship is like watching a burning candle.
It continues to burn and melt away,
Until it will be gone one of these days.
You have burned the last bridge with me,
So I will walk away and let you be.

(Chorus)
My trying has come to and end,
The damage you have done I cannot mend.
My trying has done absolutely no good,
I'm back at the start where I once stood.
My trying means nothing to you at all,
You thrive on chaos, always ready to brawl.
My trying has come to an end,
You never are willing to bend.

(Verse 2)
You have turned against your entire family,
Playing the victim is your only strategy.
You take no responsibility for anything you say or do,
You seem to enjoy betraying our trust and being cruel.
The only person you care about is yourself,
The stress you cause is destroying everyone's health.
I have tried talking reason to you time after time,
But you're getting worse and losing your mind.

(Chorus)
My trying has come to an end,
The damage you have done I cannot mend.
My trying has done absolutely no good,
I'm back at the start where I once stood.
My trying means nothing to you at all,
You thrive on Chaos, always ready to brawl.
My trying has come to an end,
You never are willing to bend.

(Bridge)
I kept hoping you would change,
That one day you would understand.
But every path I walked with you
Just led me back here once again.

(Final Chorus)
My trying has come to an end,
The damage you have done I cannot mend.
My trying has done absolutely no good,
I'm back at the start where I once stood.
My trying means nothing to you at all,
You thrive on chaos, always ready to brawl.
My trying has come to an end,
You never are willing to bend.

(Tag - hook echo)
My trying has come to an end...

(Outro)
So here is to a future without me in it,
No longer am I diving into the dark pit.
My trying to keep things together has ended,
My patience and my hand is no longer extended.
My trying is done!

(Verse 1)

The world has turned upside down,
Society is having a complete meltdown.

Good is now evil, evil is now good.
Insanity is spreading to every neighborhood.

Peaceful protests have turned into violent mobs,
Defying the law has now become a paid job.

Core ethical beliefs are no longer the standard,
Instead, it's good men and women being slandered.

(Chorus)

It's an upside down world these days,
Rebelling against authority is the new craze.

It's an upside down world we live upon,
The world we once knew is completely gone.

It's an upside down world that we find ourselves in,
Understanding and tolerance are becoming thin.

It's an upside down world we call Earth,
Where honor, morals, and virtue seem to no longer have any worth.

(Verse 2)

Truth no longer seems to be respected,
The art of lying and deceit has been perfected.

Protecting criminals is now a righteous act,
Defending your own life is viewed as abstract.

Flying the American flag is now an act of war,
Patriotism is now hated and scorned.

Gender is now an all-you-can-eat buffet,
Every dirty secret is now on display.

(Chorus)

It's an upside down world these days,
Rebelling against authority is the new craze.

It's an upside down world we live upon,
The world we once knew is completely gone.

It's an upside down world that we find ourselves in,
Understanding and tolerance are becoming thin.

It's an upside down world we call Earth,
Where honor, morals, and virtue seem to no longer have any worth.

(Verse 3)

Acts of kindness are disdained and grounds for arrest,
Creating chaos daily seems to be the newest quest.

Protecting your land from conquerors is frowned upon,
The line in the sand has certainly been drawn.

Standing tall and proud makes you a tyrant,
The younger generation is encouraged to be defiant.

Insanity is the normal behavior these days,
Something must be done before the world completely decays.

(Bridge)

Look around for yourself and see the truth,
Take a look at what's happening to our youth.

Every good thing done is condemned and abolished,
Reputations of good men and women are demolished.

It's an upside down world we now occupy,
It's enough to break your spirit and make you cry.

(Chorus)

It's an upside down world these days,
Rebelling against authority is the new craze.

It's an upside down world we live upon,
The world we once knew is completely gone.

It's an upside down world that we find ourselves in,
Understanding and tolerance are becoming thin.

It's an upside down world we call Earth,
Where honor, morals, and virtue seem to no longer have any worth.

(Outro)

So what are we going to do to repair the world?
We need to stand our ground with our flags unfurled.

We need to speak out and work to change what's wrong,
Decency and common sense must be our theme songs...

Because we live in an upside down world!

(Verse 1)
This is the land of the free,
Where during our National Anthem, we don't take a knee.
This is where all life matters,
Where we don't tolerate thieves, liars, or backstabbers.
We don't kill unborn children,
We honor our heroes, not our villains.
We support our Constitution and Bill of Rights,
We stand tall - never backing down from any fight.

(Chorus)
This is America, our land, our home,
Where the antelope play and the buffalo roam.
We are patriotic Americans, as you can see,
And we'll do whatever it takes to keep America free.
This is America, where racial hatred's not allowed,
Where we honor the commitments we've vowed.
Where patriotism is cherished and honored,
Not where terrorists or street criminals are sponsored.
This is America - a Constitutional Republic where the People hold the power,
Not a Democratic Socialism where the people cower.

(Verse 2)
This is the land of our forefathers,
Where we uphold decency and praise our Holy Father.
It's where we take pride in who we are,
Without forcing our ideologies or taking things too far.
Here, we teach our children right from wrong,
Not allowing the delusional to string them along.
We welcome immigrants who wish to be Americans,
But not the illegal or criminally arrogant.
This is the land of prosperity for one and all,
But not a charity for those who want free handouts behind the wall.

(Chorus)
This is America, our land, our home,
Where the antelope play and the buffalo roam.
We are patriotic Americans, as you can see,
And we'll do whatever it takes to keep America free.
This is America, where racial hatred's not allowed,
Where we honor the commitments we've vowed.
Where patriotism is cherished and honored,
Not where terrorists or street criminals are sponsored.
This is America - a Constitutional Republic where the People hold the power,
Not a Democratic Socialism where the People cower.

(Verse 3)
This is the land of the right to bear arms,
But not to abuse that right or cause others harm.
This is where freedom of speech is encouraged,
Not where morals and decency are discouraged.
We welcome change and understanding,
But not hatred or racial branding.
We help our neighbors and celebrate our differences,
Not promote division or false pretenses.
This is the land where we choose our own path,
Not a place that descends into violence and wrath.

(Chorus)
This is America, our land, our home,
Where the antelope play and the buffalo roam.
We are patriotic Americans, as you can see,
And we'll do whatever it takes to keep America free.
This is America, where racial hatred's not allowed,
Where we honor the commitments we've vowed.
Where patriotism is cherished and honored,
Not where terrorists or street criminals are sponsored.
This is America - a Constitutional Republic where the People hold the power,
Not a Democratic Socialism where the People cower.

(Verse 4)
This is my land, as it is your land,
So wake up - get your head out of the sand.
We must stand together and take our country back,
From those who've allowed our citizens to be attacked.
We must respect our President, even if we disagree,
For he was chosen by the People to help keep us free.
We are Americans who want the best for our families,
So we must face the truth and abandon fantasies.
This is the land to be proud of and wholeheartedly love -
We don't burn the flag or curse the Lord above.

(Chorus)
This is America, our land, our home,
Where the antelope play and the buffalo roam.
We are patriotic Americans, as you can see,
And we'll do whatever it takes to keep America free.
This is America, where racial hatred's not allowed,
Where we honor the commitments we've vowed.
Where patriotism is cherished and honored,
Not where terrorists or street criminals are sponsored.
This is America - a Constitutional Republic where the People hold the power,
Not a Democratic Socialism where the People cower.

(Outro)
This is America - the land I love,
Music to my ears, the song I'll forever sing of.
This is America!

(Verse 1)
There's a man I know from Chadwick Place,
With a smile upon his friendly face,
He'll help anyone when times get tough,
Never once said, "I've done enough."
When trouble came knockin' on my door,
Ronnie Jackson saved me like before,
Pulled me out, no questions asked,
That kind of friendship's built to last.

(Verse 2)
Ronnie's not your ordinary man, that's sure,
Rare as a diamond, honest and pure,
Brings joy to every place he goes,
Kindness and laughter in him both flow.
He's a hard-workin' man, doin' all he can,
A good husband, father - one hell of a man,
Protectin' his friends and family too,
Standin' tall in all he'll do.

(Bridge)
Got a heart made of solid gold,
Still young at heart though the years grow old,
When the chips are down, he's first in line,
That's my friend Ronnie - one of a kind!

(Chorus)
We call him Good Time Ronnie,
Lightin' up the night till the break of dawn,
Got his Bud Light raised and a laugh so strong,
The world feels better when he's around.
Hey, hey, Good Time Ronnie,
Play that song, keep the party goin',
A new and brighter day is dawnin',
We all shine a little brighter when you're around -
As you keep playin' those funky sounds!

(Verse 3)
He's a man of few words, that's true,
But when you need a friend, he'll see you through,
He's a Wolverine fan, loves his sports,
And banana sweets of all sorts.
He loves his motorbike, got a need for speed,
But Amber's love is all he'll need.
So here's to the good he's done,
Bringin' joy and a laugh to everyone!

(Verse 4)
Come July he' out again,
Exploding fireworks flyin' in the wind,
Big ol' smile and a spark in his eye,
Paintin' colors across the sky.
Every party, he spins those tunes,
Dancin' feet beneath the moon,
From Rock to Rap to Country Soul,
Ronnie's music makes you whole.

(Bridge)
When the movie screen lights up the lawn,
You can bet he's there till dawn,
Camped in his tent with laughin' kids and a summer breeze -
That's the kind of joy he leaves.

(Chorus)
We call him Good Time Ronnie,
Lightin' up the night till the break of dawn,
Got his Bud Light raised and a laugh so strong,
The World feels better when he's around.
Hey, hey, Good Time Ronnie,
Play that song, keep the party goin',
We all shine a little brighter when you're around -
As you keep playin' those funky sounds!

(Verse 5)
Now Amber and the kids stand proud,
He's the man who lifts the crowd,
Banana rolls and laughter flow,
Love like his just seems to grow.
So lift your glass to Ronnie, my friend,
Whose kindness truly has no end,
From our hearts this song belongs,
To the man who keeps us strong.

(Bridge)
When the world feels cold and gray,
You bring the sunshine anyway,
Raise your glass once more, my brother true -
This song's for you, it's overdue!

(Final Chorus)
We call him Good Time Ronnie,
Lightin' up the night till the break of dawn,
Got his Bud Light raised and a laugh so strong,
The world feels better when he's around,
Hey, hey, Good Time Ronnie,
Play that song, keep the party goin',
We all shine a little brighter when you're around -
As you keep playin' those funky sounds!

(Final Verse / Outro)
A very Happy Birthday, Ronnie - my dear friend!

(Verse 1)

Like true heroes riding out of the Old West,
With blazing gold shields pinned upon their chests.
Dave and Doug, law enforcement officers standing proud and tall,
Always ready to offer their service to one and all.

To our rescue they came when we were stranded,
Divinely answering our prayers - as if heavenly angels had just landed.
With cordial demeanors and warm, welcoming smiles,
Dave and Doug were the only help available within miles.

They jumped right in with no hesitation,
These Blue Knights are men of honor and dedication.

(Chorus)

Blue Knights...like Knights of old, they defend those in need,
Blue Knights...constantly performing incredible deeds.
Blue Knights...men of courage, honor, and self-sacrifice,
Blue Knights...keeping citizens safe as they pay the ultimate price.

Blue Knights...the first defense against criminals and evil,
Blue Knights...serving the law and bringing justice to the people.
Blue Knights...always fighting the good fight,
Blue Knights...using their might to defend the weak and all that is right.

(Verse 2)

Dave and Doug worked hard to get us on the road again,
Our respect and pride increased for these fine men.
They asked for nothing for their service and kind deed,
Answering the call when others were in desperate need.

Like knights from legend, Dave and Doug shined with virtue and integrity,
They represent all that is good and right in humanity.
Blue Knights who protect the people and our land,
Against injustice and crime, they will always take a stand.

(Chorus)

Blue Knights...like Knights of old, they defend those in need,
Blue Knights...constantly performing incredible deeds.
Blue Knights...men of courage, honor, and self-sacrifice,
Blue Knights...keeping citizens safe as they pay the ultimate price.

Blue Knights...the first defense against criminals and evil,
Blue Knights...serving the law and bringing justice to the people.
Blue Knights...always fighting the good fight,
Blue Knights...using their might to defend the weak and all that is right.

(Bridge)

Through the dark of night - and the light of day,
The Blue Knights stand on the line so others can live safe and free each day.

When the call comes in - the Blue Knights answer without fear,
Always standing for the people they've sworn to serve year after year.

They're not looking for glory - not looking for fame,
But looking to serve their duty with honor, and the badge they proudly claim.

(Verse 3)

So remember to treat all law enforcement with honor and respect,
For they are simply doing their job to serve and protect.
They are men and women just like me and you,
Appreciation and praise for them is long overdue.

They're on the streets doing a dangerous and difficult job,
Protecting us from criminals and violent mobs.
Dave and Doug are only two of these honorable men,
Our thanks to them - and all the Blue Knights of law enforcement - once again.

(Final Chorus - Big/Anthem Delivery)

Blue Knights...like Knights of old, they defend those in need,
Blue Knights...constantly performing incredible deeds.
Blue Knights...men of courage, honor, and self-sacrifice,
Blue Knights...keeping citizens safe as they pay the ultimate price.

Blue Knights...the first defense against criminals and evil,
Blue Knights...serving the law and bringing justice to the people.
Blue Knights...always fighting the good fight,
Blue Knights...using their might to defend the weak and all that is right.

(Outro - Softer / Emotional Resolve)

May God bless these Blue Knights and keep them safe each and every day,
Always remember to treat them with respect...and you will never suffer dismay.

(Verse 1)
I still recall those golden days,
The Florida sun, the ocean haze.
Your laughter echoed in the breeze,
Hand in hand beneath the palm trees.

(Chorus)
Oh Bill, you're still in my heart,
Though time has kept us far apart.
The years have flown, yet I feel you still,
Forever my true love, my sweet Bill.

(Verse 2)
Nights we danced by the candlelight,
Stars above so warm and bright.
Your touch was gentle, your words sincere,
A love so strong, I hold it near.

(Chorus)
Oh Bill, you're still in my heart,
Though time has kept us far apart.
The years have flown, yet I feel you still,
Forever my true love, my sweet Bill.

(Verse 3)
But fate was cruel, it led you away,
We never met again, to my dismay.
The silence lingers, the nights grow cold,
Yet in my soul, our story's told.

(Verse 4)
Now I sit by the shoreline alone,
The waves remind me of love I'd known.
Every sunset whispers your name,
The ache of longing will never wane.

(Chorus)
Oh Bill, you're still in my heart,
Though time has kept us far apart.
The years have flown, yet I feel you still,
Forever my true love, my sweet Bill.

(Bridge)
If dreams could bring me back to you,
I'd walk those sands, where skies were blue.
One more chance, I'd hold you tight,
And never let you fade from sight.

(Final Chorus)
Oh Bill, you're still in my heart,
Though time has kept us far apart.
The years have flown, yet I feel you still,
Forever my true love, my sweet Bill.

(Verse 1)
No matter how hard I try,
Nothing I do seems to be right.
I give my best for everyone,
On my shoulders I carry a ton.
Yet I'm overlooked and forgotten,
Tossed aside, left broken.

(Pre-Chorus 1)
My life is not my own, like a sea,
Driven by the wind, it's tossing me.

(Chorus)
I'm a failure in all I seem to do,
Always depressed and endlessly blue.
Every step I take, I'm pushed back three,
Trying to stand tall but weak in the knees.
It seems I'm sinking in quicksand,
Stuck where I am, a forgotten man.

(Verse 2)
I have many talents to share,
Yet I falter despite my care.
I show my skills to those in need,
But am rejected for another breed.
Passed over each and every time,
Up the ladder of success, I never climb.

(Pre-Chorus 2)
So I go again, trying once more,
Standing alone, with no friends at my door.

(Chorus)

I'm a failure in all I seem to do,
Always depressed and endlessly blue.
Every step I take, I'm pushed back three,
Trying to stand tall but weak in the knees.
It seems I'm sinking in quicksand,
Stuck where I am, a forgotten man.

(Verse 3)
My time has come and gone,
I feel feeble and worn.
I stand in the cold all alone,
Still unsuccessful, unknown.
Nothing I leave to be remembered for,
Sailing off to that distant shore.

(Pre-Chorus 3)
I leave behind regrets and sorrow,
All who knew me will forget tomorrow.

(Chorus)
I was a failure in all I seemed to do,
Always depressed and endlessly blue.
Every step I took, I was pushed back three,
I tried to stand tall but was weak in the knees.
It seems I always found myself in quicksand,
Stuck where I was in life, a forgotten man.

(Bridge - Desperate, Climactic Release)
Why must life keep tearing me apart?, I still survive,
Every failure weighs upon my heart.
Yet in this darkness, I still survive,
Clinging to the last spark alive.

(Final Chorus - Reframed for Impact)
Though I was a failure in all I seemed to do,
Still I fight through the endless blue.
Every step I take, though pushed back three,
I stand again, though weak in the knees.
Even in the quicksand of my plan,
I rise from the depths, no longer just a forgotten man.
