    This is a song of ressurection; the death and the rebirth. Composed with somewhat traditional blues instrumentation the lyrics branch into a spiritual statement of reaffirmation.

    Story Behind the Song
    Following the crushing end of a relationship Armond blamed himself for all that had gone: with the relationship, the weather, global politics, famine, floods, hurricanes, and potholes in the alley. Oh, and black holes, fires, and asteroid that killed all of the dinosaurs.
    But one day a bright new life arose from the ashes and wrote this song.

    Lyrics
    No Excuses!!
    Words by Armond Joy Blackwater & Friedrich Neitzche
    Music by Armond Joy Blackwater
    Recorded in March 2002 Live at The Cafe' Be At, Neptune Beach, Florida

    I don't make no excuses, baby
    For bein' the way that I am.
    I never made no excuses, mama
    For bein' the way that I am.
    So, forget all your fussin' at me, honey
    And just accept me as I am

    You know a frog ain't afraid
    Of croakin' all night long.
    And a bee ain't ashamed
    Of buzzin' 'round and 'round
    It's clear you can't change nature
    And you're sure as hell ain't gonna change me

    You're talkin' rules
    Rules you say I have to obey
    You've got the tools
    The tools you think make me your slave
    Ah, you're playin' a dangerous game girl
    A game you're surely gonna lose

    I don't make no excuses, baby
    For bein' the way that I am.
    I never made no excuses, mama
    For bein' the way that I am.
    Just forget all you bitchin' at me, honey
    And just accept me as I am.

    Belizian Sunrise
    Jamaican Beach
    See the big picture
    Baby!

    Yeah, your body's lean
    But, you ain't no queen!

    Idiot or Genius?
    Fool or Prophet?
    They'll call me both,
    After I'm gone....

    *"O' man take care
    What does the deep midnight declare?
    I was asleep
    And from a deep dream I awoke
    And declared
    That all joy wants eternity
    Wants deep, wants deep eternity."

    *from Thus Spake Zarathustra by Freidrich Neitzche.
