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
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
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
THE FIRST ONES FREE
So you say there’s no chance for a harvest- You cannot see the dawn in the darkness anywhere- I won’t be part of this creation- It’s suicide disguised as celebration- People line up for their poison- Then they lay down and die here- Don’t you want to be the first ones free ? Now we have systematically been deceived- No matter what god, president or prophet you believe- Leaders leaving nothing for their sons and daughters- Locked away they’re fattened for the slaughter- Your resistance is a virtue- So don’t lay down and die here- We can be the first ones free- If you want to be – just follow me – the first one’s free- There’s hope for the hardened- A dawn in the darkness- Here’s a death row pardon for all your sobbing convict souls- Love for the forlorn- Salvation for the reborn- We’ll take the gold their guarding and give it to the hardened people- The first one’s free – There’s hope for the hardened- if you want to be- Just follow me – The first ones free- Drop by drop the blue blood bleeds- Lock some up to set some free- there’s hope for the hardened so everybody hang on
DON'T NAME DROP THE DEAD
Did you hear what God said? I saw the people from your congregation- Unholy words keeping parishioners down- Taking confessions from the little children as the collection plate goes round and round- People talking about a crucifixion- People talking about him as a friend- You might deny we’ve been left alone here- But don’t name drop the dead- Listen- Don’t try and put the fear of God inside me- Don’t threaten to revoke my afterlife- How much for ringside at the second coming ? Can I meet J.C. when he finally arrives ? People talking about a resurrection reciting scripture from a book they’ve read- I know you’re amazed we’ve been left alone here but don’t name drop the dead- Did you hear what God said ?- Never name drop the dead- Bless me oh Lord –Protect me from men of violence- With evil in their hearts they stir up war every day- They make their tongues as sharp as a serpents- In order to bless ya he’ll arrest ya- God’s gotta clean his church up- Now until next time – Praise the lord
FLAT
A million miles away- That’s where we live and that’s where we’ll stay- It’s such a shame- We’ve been living in a world of pain- There was a time- I said good bye – It makes me cry everytime I find- I live without love in a world that’s flat- Where people leave and they never come back- A million times a day- Looking for love that’s gone astray love remains so far away- There comes a time- you lose your mind- it makes me cry every time – I find – I live without love in a world that’s flat- This world must be flat because people leave and they never come back- when you’re on your own and you’re all alone- Flat- City lights shine on people small- No one here really cares at all- You’re dead inside but you keep on pushing’ on- The world is flat – People head for the edge and never come back – Never coming back -I’m never coming back
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
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
PACKIN' (at McDonalds)
I've got something on my mind- I’m not having a good time- I guess I don’t deal with people too well- A story of patience that just did not sell- Packin’ at McDonalds- Shoot ‘em shoot em- I guess I had a bad day
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
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
