PhD

Everybody has something to teach
Everybody has some more to learn

There's a world of academics
Sometimes I get bored to tears
With a benchmark of perfection
Many words but I read fears
Growing up not good enough
Build's the silo so intact
System is designed with tunnel vision on a ten year track

And so it is with marketing
That pulls on insecurities
We're striving and arriving
Want to show our lettering

Don't Puff huff and Demean
Don't Puff huff and Demean
Don't Puff huff and Demean me
With your PhD
There's a world of misreligion
Legalism has "the way"
All this pure pontification
Jumping in to save the day
So the books are on the shelves
Manufacturing false wealth
While the children watch and learn this
Makes me want to scream God help!

And so it is with marketing
That pulls on insecurities
We're striving and arriving
Want to show our lettering
Please...
Don't Puff huff and Demean
Don't Puff huff and Demean
Don't Puff huff and Demean me
With your ministry
Don't Puff huff and Demean
Don't Puff huff and Demean
Don't Puff huff and Demean me
With your wealthy

patronizing, and critique
One can live in poverty
And still hold a phd
Puffing up out on the streets
Think its all about you baby please...
Don't Puff huff and Demean
Don't Puff huff and Demean
Don't Puff huff and Demean me
With your angry

This song is as much for me
Talking trash while I sing...
"You think you're better than me?
Well you're no better than me!"
Careful don't step to judging
All of us are downing something

Let's start leveling, leveling
Leveling the ego prone to...
Puff Huff and Demean
Don't Puff Huff and Demean
Don't Puff Huff and Demean
Take time to get to know me without...
Puff Huff and Demean
Don't Puff Huff and Demean
Don't Puff Huff and Demean me
With your PhD

Everybody has something to teach
Everybody has some more to learn

Salvaged

You see the flaws
I see the beautiful
You see the past
God holds the future
In your garage
I am a picker
Value and worth
Are found in old treasures

When light shines through...

Second chances
New romances
Reinvented
From the wreckage
Second chances
Circumstances
Nothing is too big
That can't be salvaged

You see the damage
I see potential
You see the pieces
I see the puzzle
The bigger picture
Put back together
The jagged edges
Of a stained glassed window

When light shines through...

Second chances
New romances
Reinvented
From the wreckage
Second chances
Circumstances
Nothing is too big
That can't be salvaged

When light shines through...

Taking care to clean and repair
All the cracks and crevasses
Restoration of hardware
Bringing out the best to reflect

Second chances
New romances
Reinvented
From the wreckage
Second chances
Circumstances
Nothing is too big
That can't be salvaged

You see the flaws
I see the beautiful
You see the past
God holds the future
