“Promise Changed”
Words & music by Virgil L. Byrd

Caught a cab from da JFK, headed ‘long side da VanWick way
Wont ya take me to da QBP
But there was no rain, often some pain
Gretta VanSustrean, wont you please explain
Then the Cabby said to My Surprise:
“Listen closely while I tell you No Lies
You see My Banker, & Lawyer:
They Used to hang around Washington Sq. and Sing!!!”
“But those Day’s have gone long by.”
“Every Body’s got to have there own Little Piece of Pie”
He ask of me, Tell Me Why”

And then I saw Tammy on the News,She said:
You best buy, while the stock is goin’ down,
Somethin’s comin’ round, people sleepin’ on da’ ground
A Good time to Buy the Whole Damned Town

Then Tommy said: to my surprise; I remember you Tammy
When you had a little faith,You would Demonstrate, even Paint your Face
A Wall st. Momma, With all the answers...

Please Now Wont You Tell Me
How IT All Came To Be This Way!!!
All The Things, You Said You Would Change
Have Gone On Back To
The Same Old Way’s,
I Guess It’s Just Another,
Promise Changed

And now I see You where a Tie
May I ask What happen’ to your TieDie Shirt?
Tammy’s Mini Skirt?
I think I saw a Sheep in a Fox Skin.

Please Now Wont You Tell Me
How It All Came To Be This Way!!!
All The Things, You Said You Would Change
Have Gone On Back To
The Same Old Way’s
I Guess It’s Just Another,
Promise Changed

"Not A Test"
Lyric By Julia M. Thro
Music By Julia M. Thro & Virgil L. Byrd

I was mindin’ my own Business in my livin’ room
When a voice came over from the
Emergency Broadcast System
It said, “GO TO THE SHELTER, GO DIRECTLY TO THE SHELTER”

“Do Not Past GO”
“THIS IS NOT A TEST”
Well don't you know it Looks Like
Our Little World
Is Not SO Important!!!
It Looks Like Our Little Dreams
Have Come To Rest
THIS IS THE REAL THING
THIS IS NOT A TEST!!!!

And so I thought it was a Joke!
But then the thought awoke...
They’ve been Kidin’ Me for All These Years!!!
And so I Just kind of Stared at the screen like a Fool
As the Twin Towers Fell,
Natenyahue Inters his West Bank Hell
Pakistan-HEY PRIEST! Get yo’ hand Off ME Man...
And It Looks Like Our Little World
Is Not So Important!!!
It Look Like Our Little Dreams
Have Come To Rest
THIS IS THE REAL THING
THIS IS NOT A TEST!!!!

10 Million Years WE Were the Crown of Creation
Now I can’t think of a way to save my life
On the Brink of Nuclear Salvation

THIS IS THE REAL THING
THIS IS NOT A TEST!!!

“Diana: 20th Century Earth Princess (Late at Night)”
words & music by
Virgil L. Byrd

Late at night and I think of You again
It`s only right that You should know
Just how much I really Love You
And I guess I always will
More than anyone could ever know
Though I never told You so
I need You by my side.

It’s late at night and I think of You again
It’s only right that You should know,
You should know
You should know
I Love You.
