19TH NERVOUS REVOLUTION

Searching for the truth, people tell me now where it’s been- People try and tell me that it’s gone- Panic in the street it’s time to get the masses to the meat before it’s too late- It’s just your 19th nervous revolution- It’s such a frightening form of ear pollution-  Now that they’ve turned you into charity cases-History shows us what a mob can do- I feel the pain- I see the look on your faces- I think we’re headed for a bloodless coup- It’s just your 19th nervous revolution- It’s such a frightening formal execution

POLITICAL PRISONERS

I’m spinning in circles from this war on the streets- They’re starving our children just to balance their sheets- They lie to the masses when they tell us we’re free- There’s so many taking so much more than they need- Red lights flash in homeless eyes at night- Revolution in my head- The change has come y’know the time is right- So hard to keep your family fed- and the state of the union keeps us searching for a better way- and there ain’t no reason for oppression in the USA- It’s so political when quasi-intellectuals are running our society- You’re all political prisoners like me- You’re just like me- The bill of rights has been torn in half by a court that has no shame- Are you right or are you left with the feeling we’re all the same ? And there ain’t no reason to believe a single word you say- and there ain’t no reason for oppression in the USA

TOUGH TIMES ( In backstab city )

Outcasts on the blacklist-conspiracies that kill-ex-friend on the hit list for gossip monger thrill- Comrades changing numbers-partners on the scam- In this city of angels lives sell for half a gram- Cute cuddly cut throats-two faced smilin’ jack- silk suit attorneys- distorting the facts- Scmoozin’ with name droppers- Guest list full of trash- Made a deal to sell my soul but got burned for the cash- Tough times in backstab city- Gotta watch your friends when your sinkin’ low- Tough times in backstab city- I’d turn around and leave this town but I got no place to go- It’s a cold sharp knife that changed my life now I’m cut from head to toe- Tough times in backstab city

FIVE MONSTER HITS

You’re not so smart anymore when the evil octopus wraps it’s loving arms around you- You’re not so hard anymore when the cold wind whispers secrets best left untold- They say the pain’s gonna go away but it never does- When you’re in love with a monster you learn to act just like a victim in the movies

HARDCORE BLUES

Johny is a g-man he’s got secrets up his sleeve- He’s got an arsenal and sends it where he needs to- He’s got contracts with all the boys- he topples governments with dignity and poise- Y’know I read the news- and got these hardcore blues- Bill’s political and he deserves respect- he belongs to the club-he signs Albert’s checks- Making promises he knows he can’t keep- than the trouble starts he’s in way too deep- Marilyn’s a bad girl- high office is her pleasure- She’s quite political and fairs well in stormy weather- She knows everything like who supplies the dope- she’ll survive tragically while our country goes broke- Y’know I read the news and got these hardcore blues

BLINDED

Witness this tragedy of people living on their knees- I hope that my sanity lasts me through the night- I guess I had some dues to pay- You just kind of went your way-  gonna take a life that’s wrong and make it right- I woke in mournin’ of my bye-gone baby- she dreamed about me changin’ into something better than I used to be- I survived all the madness now there’s no one left to bring me down- Baby I’ve been blinded for so long but that’s over now- I’ve opened up my eyes for the first time -and looked around-  I felt the greed that drives men crazy but time ain’t money so money can’t get the best of me- I’ve got no time for the madness-  Always had my faith to bring me around-  baby I’ve been blinded now it’s time to find out just what we were looking for-  Witness your tragedies- Don’t be livin on your knees- sidestep insanity- make it through your life

DO YOU MISS ME

Somehow we live our lives apart-  In  separate  circles we’ve untwined – Beyond the past is hard to see- The future holds no guarantee- Do you miss me – Should I forget the way you tore my soul apart- look back and just go on and on and on- Dr should I find a way to open up my heart and resing this same old song-  I’m leaving behind a world of stone that kept me hurting all alone- I’m keeping alive a part of me for the whole world to see- For the world to see

 DISTANT MEMORIES

Let’s not let it all fall down- While we both stand idly by-painting pretty pictures of the way things used to be- Please don’t leave me for the cold- Send an answer when I call to you- Alone in this crowd for you I’ll be- If time ever finds a way to take you from me- Make you a distant memory-  Would it be easier with no one to depend on- Would you feel the need to find a friend- I know my love won’t lie though I build some walls to save my pride- Oh I think of you- You put meaning in my life

 FAITH

Got to talk to you my brother- Sister hear my plea- Through the years that separate us- Have you lose your faith in me- I won a free flight to the combat zone- up to my neck in this river alone- I lost my friends and I made amends – Prayed for quick relief- I didn’t mind a little reign but this endless flood’s got me insane- I hoped I wouldn’t spend my days feeding slop to a rich man’s hog- If I break down and cry- stand beside me and I’ll be alright- The answer in your eyes has ended my confusion- Don’t you fade away from me

 RISE

Come on children gather ‘round- open your surprise- Grow up sharing one free world- with shameless open eyes- If you don’t forget the facts and join the pig circus -where three ring leaders control your mother’s fate- Don’t forget about the pain you endure- Brothers and sisters- we can overcome if we don’t hesitate- Don’t you hesitate- Please don’t hesitate- Come on people gather ‘round- Leave bad times behind- We’ll make changes for the boys and girls- Good people soon will rise

FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS

I felt the pain-flew up above- to obtain a peaceful living- Went searching and found out we’re not alone- Let’s make a sound –Free the world –Bounce this ball of confusion-Baby it’s alright to cry- It’s time to say good-bye to all your fair weather friends- The enlightened seem to fly when the road reaches it’s end- Don’t you give this hobo one more dime- I’m twisting my own fate- Good-bye Fair weather friends- I’ve been sanctified by the gift of love when it came crashing through my window just in time to tell this lonely heart- It’s time to say goodbye to all your fair weather friends- the enlightened seem to fly when the road reaches it’s end – I’m gonna sing you in slow mo’ one more time- the hands of time won’t wait- Good-bye fair weather friends-  When your down and friends are fading fair weather makes you play the fool- Let the truth surround you and you’ll fly- Sweet lady said she’s rather live in a love song so like a glorious moral in a fairy tale- wish granted- Now it’s time to say good-bye to your fair weather friends- the enlightened seem to fly when the road reaches it’s end – I’m going to sing you in slow mo’ one more rhyme – the hands of time won’t wait- Goodbye fair weather friends

DON'T MEAN NUTHIN'

All these people messin'round with the business I’m in- Their playing corporate games with our music with their ears of tin- Living in the gutter-Stagger and a stutter- hven’t seen my mother for years- Industry corruption- Lies in mass production The P.M.R.C.’s already here-  Ya don’t mean nuthin’- Hate me if you want to-You never meant nuthin’ to me- All these leeches hangin’ on ‘til the party begin- Around for their percentage at the same time tellin’ me they’re my friends- Your plan is in danger we’re the rearranger- Just keep getting’ deeper in debt- No more cuttin’ corners- no way you can ignore us – We’re spittin’ out what we been fed- Ya don’t mean nuthin’ hate me if you want to-  We don’t give cocaine kickbacks

RUN THIS TOWN

Cold hearted leaders of the city crumble to the ground- Speaking out I know they want to get me- I take my time- I’m gonna take ‘em down- I wanna run this town Mob ties the backbone of the system- You’re in or in the way-  It’s plain to see - why don’t they wanna listen ? Just live their lives and look the other way but I I wanna run this town- Right into the ground- Law and order in my town is no where to be found- In my town the man is going down ,down,  down Yeah he’s goin’ down- big lies and plane loads of cocaine- They’d like to hook you all- Propaganda telling us who’s to blame- A master plan that’s got us by the balls that’s why- I wanna run this town- Right into the ground
