Definition of june bug
: any of numerous rather large leaf-eating scarab beetles (subfamily Melolonthinae) that fly chiefly in late spring and have larvae that are white grubs which live in soil and feed chiefly on the roots of grasses and other plants — called also june beetle

JUNIE MORRISSON
Born in Dayton, Ohio, Morrison sang and played piano as a child, soon learning a range of other instruments and becoming a school choir director and orchestra conductor.[1] In 1970, he joined the funk band the Ohio Players, becoming a producer, writer, keyboardist and vocalist involved in some of their major hits and the albums Pain, Pleasure, and Ecstasy. He was largely responsible for writing and arranging the band's 1973 hit single, "Funky Worm".[2]

JUNEBUG
Donny "JUNEBUG" Walker Jr., my cousin, the coolest cat in my childhood.

Track Name: Pink Elephante
What if the elephant in the room is pink?
And you can’t help but see it
That big animal you need to pay attention to
But are afraid to see
And all the things in your mind that you don’t acknowledge
The secrets and the past that you want to demolish
Where does it go
When we don’t want to own it anymore

Chorus
I wanna find a place to roam
Where I don’t feel so all alone
I wanna find peace of mind
Will you come find me

I wanna find a place to roam
Where I don’t feel so all alone
I wanna find peace of mind
Will you come find me


What if the elephant in the room is pink?
And you can’t help but see it

What if the elephant in the room is pink?
And you can’t help but see it

What if the elephant in the room is pink?
And we can’t help but see it

What if the elephant in the room is pink?
And you can’t help but see it

I wanna find a place to roam
Where I don’t feel so all alone

I wanna find peace of mind
Will you come find me

I wanna find a place to roam
Where I don’t feel so all alone

I wanna find peace of mind
Will you come find me
I wanna find a place to roam
Where I don’t feel so all alone

I wanna find peace of mind
Will you come find me

Will you come
Will you come

Track Name: Church of The Forgotten People (i dont wanna be cool anymore)
Give me love
This is where they put you when they don’t need you anymore
It’s like a store
But no people come here anymore

The church of the forgotten people
Where we commune
We dance way past noon
All the people to not be consumed
Seem like they got their fill off of us
And I don’t want to be
On the auction block anymore
I am not for sell
This is our hymn
The church of the forgotten people

This is our hymn
The church of the forgotten people

I’m not for sell

Put us back on the shelf
Put us back on the shelf


They not interested in us anymore

Change the face
Rename the palce
Say you created jazz
And more lies like that

Found refuge with my people
Thank god you forgot all about us
So we can be together
Away from you


The church of the forgotten people
Where we commune
(where) We dance way past noon
All the people to not be consumed

The church of the forgotten people
Where we commune
(where)We dance way past noon
(where)We dance way past noon

Thank god you forgot about us
Thank god

Make up all your history
Say you created
It’s your world
Just leave me alone

Forget about me
Forget about me
Forget about us
So we can dance
Commune

The Church of the Forgotten People
The Church of the Forgotten People
The Church of the Forgotten People

We dance

The Church of the Forgotten People
The Church of the Forgotten People
The Church of the Forgotten People

Seems like they got their fill off us

The Church of the Forgotten People

Don’t wanna be
On the auction block no more

Forgotten People
The Church of
the Forgotten People

My Church of
The Forgotten People

The Church of the Forgotten People

Forget about me
Forget about me

So we can commune

Forget about me
Forget about me

So we can dance

Forget about me
Forget about me
Forget about me
Forget about me
