Blue Kazoo

Lyrics: Ruth Anthony-Gardner

To the tune of "Jingle Bells"

December's greatest day
The snow's a lot of fluff
White Pines along our way
Like cotton to the touch

Gold glints the Honor Net
Across my arm so light
What fun to celebrate with friends
On Happy HumanLight

Refrain:

Blue kazoo, gold kazoo
Tickle as they hum
Our moonlit way to celebrate
With fellowship and fun

HumanLight, HumanLight
People are what's real
2,000 years of balderdash
It's time for a new deal

Wood smoke upon the breeze

We hug and hold on tight
We kick the fluff with ease
As drums call into night

Their rhythm moves our feet
We're almost feeling high
What fun to celebrate with friends
On Happy HumanLight

Refrain

The God-Memes Fell Down

Lyrics: Valerie Triumph

To the tune of "The Irish Washerwoman"

Chorus:
The god-memes fell down and they broke into pieces,
The god-memes fell down and they broke into pieces,
The god-memes fell down and they broke into pieces,
'Cause we didn't care about them anymore.

The priests all woke up and they took off their vestments, (3x)
'Cause we didn't bow to their gods anymore.

Chorus

The mullahs woke up and they lost their religion, (3x)
'Cause people would kill for their fatwas no more.

Chorus

The rabbis woke up and said, "This is meshugga!" (3x)
" 'Cause we will survive; we have done it before."

Chorus

The ministers woke up and threw down their Bibles, (3x)
'Cause we don't need dictates from gods anymore.

Chorus

Let Those God-Memes Go

Lyrics: Ruth Anthony-Gardner

To the tune of "Go Down Moses" ("Let My People Go")

The old god-memes are just too narrow -
Let those god-memes go.
Their domination's brought us low -
Let those god-memes go.

Chorus:
Reach out, people,
Earth needs partnership.
Violence is our real foe:
Let those god-memes go.

The future calls, secure and bright -
Let those god-memes go.
Cooperate instead of fight -
Let those god-memes go.

Chorus

Make New Gods

Lyrics: Ruth Anthony-Gardner

To the tune of "If I Had a Hammer"

We don't need those dumb gods,
We atheists have always said.
We need it all to make sense
In reality.
It's time to make new gods
Who know they are fictions.
Create a Third Wave god, an Information Ager
In... reality.

A self-aware myth
To speak up for the earth we love.
Designing a spokesperson
In reality.
A new self-aware myth
That knows she is fictional.
Create a Third Wave god, an Information Ager
In... reality.

A virtual god
Who knows that she's no more real
Than poetry or art work
In reality.
To speak for the future,
To stand for our species,
To teach us to reach beyond holy wars and nations,
In... reality.

Well, we've got the power
And we've got the minds.
And we made up all the gods
In reality.

It's time we made new gods
Who know we created them.
It's time to stop bowing down. Let's stand up together
In... reality.
(repeat)

We Sing Hello / We Sing Goodbye

To the tune of "Shabbat Shalom"

We sing hello. We sing hello. We sing, we sing, we sing, we sing hello. (2x)
Hello, hello; hello, we sing hello.Hello, hello; hello, we sing hello.
We sing hello. We sing hello.We sing, we sing, we sing, we sing hello. (2x)

("We Sing Goodbye" uses the same tune, substituting "good-bye" for "hello".)
