The translation from German on the graphic, the best I could figure using Google Translate: "Such Fools I Do Lease, Because Only Gold Does Please."

lyrics

He's sharp, he's wise, there's starlight in his eyes
He's so high on romanticism's lies
He must come down from all those lofty heights
All those times he's dreamed away the night
Blue red white, Not quite right,
Two plus two don't equal five
Don't give up without a fight
Not quite right, not quite right.
I'm the same, active brain
Anxiety and mental pain
Liberty ignites the flame, try again, try again.
Blue red white, looking for a fight
Crashing down the boulevard decked in stars and stripes
Ted and Jack might be coming back
Buzzing through the corridors from the inside track
Blue red white, Not quite right,
Two plus two don't equal five
Don't give up without a fight
Not quite right, not quite right.
I'm the same, active brain
Anxiety and mental pain
Liberty ignites the flame, try again, try again.
If only they could be, American, just like me
Blue red white, Not quite right,
Two plus two don't equal five
Don't give up wiithout a fight
Not quite right, not quite right.
I'm the same, active brain
Anxiety and mental pain
Liberty ignites the flame, try again, try again.
It's come to my attention
It's hardly worth a mention,
It is patently absurd that he is not quite right
Something must be done, before he scares someone
Get him out of here because he's not quite right.
Blue red white, Not quite right,
Two plus two don't equal five
Don't give up without a fight
Not quite right, not quite right.
I'm the same, active brain
Anxiety and mental pain
Liberty ignites the flame, try again, try again.

brick bosso Los Angeles, California

I've been playing music on keyboards ever since I got turned on to Ragtime music as a kid, thanks to the chart topping single "The Entertainer," by Scott Joplin. I find creating music addictive -- I use virtual and hardware synths, drum machines, production tools and sometimes guitar. Though for truly stellar guitar work I turn to Mark Abbruzzese and Eric Endo. ... more
