Hypnotized By Youth 05:04
lyrics
buy track
Ah, I didn't start the game when I was young Ah, and everything and everyone is young and fun and fun is young And young is glorified. Mhmm. Ah, yes I'm counting up the days that all have gone Ah, and everything and everyone I know is old but old is bolder But old is nullified. Mhmm. No walking cane to ease my pain Upon the stairs, to get up on this (fucken) funky stage And play the music today. Mhmm. Ah, I didn't start the game when I was young Oo oo, ah, and everything and everyone was fun Oo oo, ah, I didn't start the game when I was young oo, oo, oooh. And I'm petrified, horrified, yet Hypnotized by youth. Ah, well they came across the city lines in crowds Ah, from New Orleans to Wichita and here in New York City This city state of mine, Mhmm. All wrinkle free with energy and time to spare With dancing shoes to get up on their funky feet And hear the music today, Mhmm. Ah, I didn't start the game when I was young Oo, oo, ah, and everything and everyone was fun Oo, ooh, ah, I didn't start the game when I was young Oo, oo, ooh And I'm petrified, horrified, yet Hypnotized by youth. And after all that's sad and done You'll get old like all of us But we still glorify Magnify, we're still hypnotized (She said hypnotized!) Hypnotized! (Hypnotized!) Electrified! (Mesmerized!) Mesmerized by youth! Ah, I didn't start the game when I was young Oo, oo, ah, and everything and everyone was fun Oo, ooh, ah, I didn't start the game when I was young Oo, oo, ooh And I'm petrified, horrified, yet Hypnotized by youth. Ah, I didn't start the game when I was young But that doesn't mean I can't have fun...

Hear Me, Mr. Honey (Amy Lee/Rivky) by Rivky Hey Mr. Honey you're just driving to fast for me Turn the radio down So you can hear me, complaining Tonight Stop being funny 'cuz you know I don't really care roll the windows back up so you can hear me, complaining Tonight And won't you take me To the Ocean, by the water So I can swim away And take me to the airport on an airplane so I can fly away I've got no money but you know that my heart is real. I bet you can't say the same thing for yourself, you're playin' my life And damned if it's sunny cuz' you know that it's dark in here. Pull the curtains back up So you can see me, I'm bravin' The light And won't you take me To the ocean, by the water So I can swim away And take me to the airport On an airplane so I can fly away So I can fly...fly...away See me, see me, see me The way I was before See me, see me, see me The way I was before See me, see me, see me The way I look tonight. See me, see me, see me The way I look tonight... Hey Mr. Honey, I just know that you ain't for me. I can see it right now, oh so clearly I'm changing my life... And won't you take me to the ocean, by the water So I can swim away And take me to the airport on an airplane so I can fly....fly..... Away... So I can fly away. © Rivky G Music 2019 All Rights Reserved

lyrics
buy track
Esta noche de Purim no duermen los alhajuin haziendo alhajuinadas para las desposadas. Chorus: "Vivas tu, viva yo, Vivan todos los judios, Viva la reina Esther, que tanto plazer mos dio". Haman antes que morir reunio su parentela, los puso a su cabeçera un dia antes de Purim. (chorus) Calla tu, Zeres "la loca", que a ti avlar no te toca, que por ti hizieron la horca y me la estrené en Purim. (chorus) Amparo-te con tus manos, aproves muestros hermanos ha turcos y ha cristianos aunque no mos pueden veer. (chorus) Indianas muy bien assadas, Pinyonada y almendradas, Lombos, elguengas ahumadas, Porque hazen bien bever. (chorus) Y los novios a las novias envien dulces y rosas y joyas y algunas cosas que les queden a dever. (chorus)

about

The album itself is just an array of various songs but I felt like titling "Hypnotized By Youth" for the one song on there that I wrote during my birthday and the idea of getting old. I didn't start the game when I was young and I wondered if our culture was and is hypnotized by youth and what is old? And do the old remain to be nullified? Does everyone get the same chance or when you reach a particular age do you feel dismissed from opportunities? Do you feel like it's too late to try? Please do share your thoughts if the spirit moves you.

Just a thought to ponder.

Much love, strength and bravery to all of you. Thank you for stopping by to browse or download.

With warmth and spice,
Rivky
