Robert Lee "Bobby" Eaton (born August 14, 1958) is an American semi-retired professional wrestler, who made his debut in 1976. Eaton is most famous for his work in tag teams, especially his days as one-half of the team the Midnight Express. Under the management of Jim Cornette, Eaton originally teamed with Dennis Condrey and, later on, with Stan Lane. He has also worked with a number of other tag team partners, including Koko B. Ware, Steve Keirn, and "Lord" Steven Regal.
In his career, Eaton wrestled for extended periods of time for various wrestling promotions: Mid-America Wrestling, Continental Wrestling Association, Mid-South Wrestling, World Class Championship Wrestling, Jim Crockett Promotions, World Championship Wrestling, and Smoky Mountain Wrestling. He has also made brief guest appearances for Extreme Championship Wrestling and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, in addition to appearances for a considerable number of independent wrestling promotions over the years. He currently performs part-time, teaming with either Lane and/or Condrey under the Midnight Express name.
Barry Clinton Windham (born July 4, 1960) is an American semi-retired professional wrestler and the son of wrestler Blackjack Mulligan. He is best known for his appearances with the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW).
In NWA/WCW, he was a one-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, a one-time United States Heavyweight Champion, a one-time Television Champion, a one-time Western States Heritage Champion, a four-time NWA (Mid Atlantic)/WCW World Tag Team Champion and a one-time NWA United States Tag Team Champion with Ron Garvin. In WWF, he was a two-time World Tag Team Champion with his brother-in-law, Mike Rotunda. On March 31, 2012, Windham was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a member of the Four Horsemen.
Windham was trained by his father Blackjack Mulligan and popular world champion Harley Race. He debuted on November 27, 1979 against J.J. Dillion in Odessa, Texas when he was 19 years old. Much of his early career was in the NWA's Championship Wrestling from Florida territory where Gordon Solie was the head announcer. He was a fan favorite for most of the early and middle periods of his career, having great success in singles and tag action. Windham had notable feuds with Kevin Sullivan and his army. With his brother-in-law Mike Rotunda, Windham formed a tag team in 1984. The duo captured the NWA Florida United States Tag Team Championship three times between March and May 1984.
Richard Morgan Fliehr (born February 25, 1949) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Ric Flair. Also known as "The Nature Boy", Flair is considered to be one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time with a professional career that spans 40 years. He is currently working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), and is noted for his lengthy and highly decorated tenures with the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and the World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (now known as WWE). Flair is officially recognized by WWE, TNA and PWI as a 16-time World Heavyweight Champion (seven-time NWA Champion, seven-time WCW Champion and two-time WWF Champion) although his actual tally of World Championship reigns varies by source—Flair considers himself a 21-time world champion.
In World Championship Wrestling (WCW), he also had two stints as a booker—in 1989–1990 and 1994. Flair also became the first and only man to have won the WWF Championship in a Royal Rumble match, when he accomplished this in the 1992 edition of the event. In 2012, Flair became the first ever double inductee in the WWE Hall of Fame, first inducted in 2008 for his individual career, and for a second time in 2012 as a member of the Four Horsemen. He is also an NWA Hall of Famer (class of 2008). Flair's hair styles and mannerisms are based on those of Buddy Rogers, who previously and famously used the "Nature Boy" gimmick in the 1950s and '60s. Coincidentally, Flair also followed Rogers in becoming the second man to win both the WWF and the NWA World Heavyweight Championships.
Plot
This video features highlights of some of the matches from the Third Annual Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Cup tag team tournament. The tournament took place from April 22-April 23, 1988. Most of the matches of this large tournament are left out, and a lot of the matches are edited pretty short to fit on a two hour tape. Teams included on the tape are The Road Warriors (Hawk and Animal), The Midnight Express (Eaton and Lane), The Four Horsemen (Anderson and Blanchard), The Fantastics (Rogers and Fulton), Lex Luger and Sting, The Jive Tones (Whatley and Conway), Ivan Koloff and Dick Murdoch, Larry Zbyszko and Al Perez, The Varsity Club (Rotunda and Steiner), The Powers of Pain (Warlord and Barbarian), Jimmy Valiant and Mighty Wilbur, The Sheepherders (Miller and Williams), Kendall Windham and The Italian Stallion, and Ron Simmons and Steve Williams. I won't tell the matches as that will give away the winners (since this was a single elimination tournament). Other matches on the card are NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair vs Nikita Koloff, The Midnight Rider (Dusty Rhodes) vs J.J. Dillon in a bloody Texas Bullrope Match, and Jimmy Garvin vs Kevin Sullivan in a Prince of Darkness Death Match (both wrestlers had hoods over their heads and couldn't see). Finally, the tape goes back to January 24, 1988 for the finals of the Third Annual Bunkhouse Stampede. Battle royales had been held at several house shows in the weeks leading up to this event, and the winners of each battle royale entered this battle royale final, held inside a steel cage. The match is joined in progress on the tape, so I don't know if some wrestlers had already been eliminated. The wrestlers on the tape are Arn Anderson, Road Warrior Animal, The Barbarian, Tully Blanchard, Ivan Koloff, Lex Luger, The Warlord, and the winner of the first two Bunkhouse Stampedes, Dusty Rhodes.

You spend you life just thinking of how bad it could be
But life gets tough so you close your eyes so you don't have to see
I don't think we recognize where our intentions seem to lead
So stop your tears of self-mutilation 'cause everything you got was free
MY FRIEND
I know a better way we can change today
Don't take your life for granted because it get worse here everyday
Our lives are constantly connected in ways we'll never know
But we're taught to lie, hide behind the lines before the feelings start to grow
So live your life here as my friend or as my foe
'Cause I got no room for self-centered motherfuckers
If that's you you've got to go
MY FRIEND
I know a better way we can change today
Don't take your life for granted because it get worse here everyday
We've got to learn to react
No longer can we hide the facts
We've got to learn to react
Take a look at the hidden tracks
I know a better way we can change today
When will we find the error
Fatal mistake
The fallacy of telling all these truths through lies
The hell we make
So controlled by value
Shadows of light
The fallacy will continue as long as they
Can buy your life
It's starts by buying and selling your fellow man
In the hopes of controlling him
You're under remote control
By the gods with the dollar bills
Don't let them see right through you
Not again
Keep up these lies 'cause I got a plan to win
Destroy them
Frequency nine, airway liberation rhyme
Frequency nine, TO EQUALIZE
Let's start an equal platform
A channel for the candidate's thoughts
Let's start the new beginning
Democratic is something they're not
Rights - DEFEND THEM
Voice - ASSAULT
Start - THE ENDING
Demise of millions
Was never your fault
Don't let them see right through you
Not again
Keep up these lies 'cause I got a plan to win
Destroy them
Frequency nine, airway liberation rhyme
Frequency nine, TO EQUALIZE
Don't let the sickness stay - STAY HOLLOW
Don't let them play the game - ETERNAL SHAME
While in control it'll stay the same - YOU'LL FOLLOW

And I'm sick of it
Until control has been displaced - GOT NOTHING TO SAY
You say you're free I say no way - GOT NOTHING TO SAY
Frequency nine is here to stay - GOT NOTHING TO SAY

Follow us, reaching out of us,
to strain against determination.
Superfluous is our structure,
maintained by the predication.
We're so continuous.
Intent on the will, to follow us.
Intent on the will, to fall.
Bet out, wise so minimal,
to see the path that is laid.
The chaos, is a function of mind,
not on a realistic base.
We're so continuous.
Intent on the will, to follow us.
Intent on the will, to fall.
We turn on the world,
raise doubt for the gain.
We turn on the world and say.
Pay us, for the wasting of
time we invest in the pain.
So terrible, is the lie that
we master our own destiny.
We're so continuous.
Intent on the will,
Another note to self today, now we've found a reason,
to beleive that Jim Henson is under control!
We were told by the government, that he had died,
but they had sent him underground,
plan puppet, cheap texan accent.
The sound, of cutting the strings to.
Bring down, a death serenade.
Terrorized by what they've done,
a voice came from the doll's mouth,
"Hello world, grab your ankles here i cum!"
As dollar signs grew in his eyes,
the council stood applauding,
"Now lets suck this fucking world dry!"
The sound, of cutting the strings to.
Bring down, a death serenade.
"Dry, dry, go!"
But, victims grew sickened too fast.
As he fills his vision, he terrorized the world.
Ignore the past, let's whore the natural state.
He's the first and the last, to terrorize the world.
He sists and laughs cuz we're so fucking afraid.
To rise and fall, tell me now cuz i wanna do something.
To rise above, tell me now I wanna start something.
Knowledge is the weapon.
To save this world from.
The bright days are turning.

Hatred receding, the tears and the bleeding.

To Fight against the pain.
We return from the darkness return from the pain.
Claim back our minds and break free from the game.
Knowledge the weapon.

Drowned down like a heavy statue, with the softness of a wrecking ball
Weighed down, magnetic, stuck to the surface of a broken hull
Waiting 'til war, waiting to war, with every breath we're creeping closer to war
Drink down, the rejection, and fight the fear of natural selection
From Gheppetto men with the wooden hearts bent on a world of domination
Let's start a reaction
Let's start a reaction
Let's start a reaction
Let's start waiting, waiting
Waiting 'til war, waiting to war, with every breath we're creeping closer to this war
Waiting for the enemy, the broken glass that tears inside of me
Waiting for this enemy, the searing ember white as ivory
And I'm burning
Burning
Burning
Burning in this horror
Take this pain away from me, the broken glass that tears inside of me
Take this pain away from me, the sky raining down on me
Apocalyptic dream
Burning
Burning too slow
Burning
Burning
Burning too slow, and now the war begins with us
Go, go, go, start burning
Burning, and take control
Go, go, go, start burning
Wake up all you humans
No longer can ignore
The selfishness, unawareness
That makes us beg for more
Where are all your values?
Swallowed by your greed
Let it go and take control
Sever the machine
STAND UP, STARE IT DOWN, TEAR IT DOWN, RISE AGAIN
STAND UP, STARE IT DOWN, TEAR IT DOWN, RISE AGAIN
Start thinking for yourself
And breathe again
Don't ever let them
Don't ever let them fuck you!
Ammunition, ammunition for the fight.
It Kills.
Violence with anger.
The foolish wager.
Somatic Danger.
Wage a mind war.
IT KILLS.
The fusion dagger.
Pneumonic matters.
The system shatters.
Wage a mind war.
Suffocation, strangulation, of unavhievable.
Is bending and breaking to us.
And we taste infinite, with one prerequisite,
The mind of night to return to day.
IT KILLS.
So isolated.
Our patterns rated.
The devastated.
IT KILLS.
Ammunition, ammunition for the fight.
No bloodied guns, wake and revolt.
Mind's burning suns,
To turning now/on to turning onto.
No enigma, To turning on, turning on time.
Ask why, then try
To find the meaning behind the eye
Then look for truth
And try to find the meaning behind the youth
Ask why, then try
To do it on your own and not comply
I'll see it through
But now I stand alone and I'm wondering who
Litigation
OF OUR NATION
Is leading us to our starvation
Their words, their lies
Living on the edge of capital ties
Who lost, who won
Now try to be free living under the gun
I know a better way
It's gonna take us all to save the day
We'll fight, yeah right
But if we're gonna win we're gonna have to unite
Litigation
OF OUR NATION
Is leading us to our starvation
One hundred thousand million people
Pushed out of existence
We've got to take a stand against those who tried to fist us
We've got to take it back
We've got to stand together
We've got to take it back
We've got to stand together
Their words, their lies
Living on the edge of capital ties
Who lost, who won
STAY, STAY FOCUSED
There's no time to be outside yourself
Don't let them ever tell you
You can't acknowledge doubt
I think we've had enough
Make me sick 'til I've had enough
HATE, PAIN
Things I'd like to live without
But now the demons in me
Are there and they won't come out
They are the ones that keep you, distract you
From your home
And while you're filled with anger
You will only stand alone
I think we've had enough
Make me sick 'til I've had enough
Don't waste away
The ends not far away
Don't kid yourself
Your hatred lies with no one else - NO
STAY, STAY FOCUSED
There's no telling of what you might see
But always please remember
They think we're blind
The game of mind-control takes toll with time
They buy your minds
Victimized by images from behind
No need to argue, keep in line
While they reel us into the consumer line
Quality-tested consumer must die
While they watch our profits grow right before their lies
What will you do when the world has turned to blue
PEPSI BLUE
Open your eyes and realize the the billboard is you
Then comes the day
To see the stars we're gonna have to pay
Iconoclast we past that fist away.
Iconoclasting until we reach ourselves.
Motivations, beyond control,
another victim of victim patholdogy.
Aberrations, dissociate,
is what we seek, a new necessity.
Innovation, isolation,
starving on my own complacency.
Obligation, deposable,
cerebellum drowns and makes me want to say wow!
Deadened feeling haunting.
Hand and hand we fall away.
Jealousy and misery for most my life
and do I still feel the same.
Jealousy and misery for most
my time do I want to see the flame?
Aggravation, beyond control,
a cinder sparking deep inside of me.
Expectation, hibernation,
emotions spilling down below capacity.
Suffocation, meditation,
seeking voiding dark surrounding me.
Mutlation, provocation,
building inside of me,
it makes me want to say wow!
Now waiting fading, falling, falling,
past the light. Until we fade away.
Called to action, mental faction,
my war my past, my mental faction.
The steady cold of what I feel.
Raise your hands to satisfy the pain today.
Raise your tentacles.
Rise to feel rise to pinning anger down in a lock.
Drowning down beneath the waves.
In pentacles, vying souls.
Blue burning stratum of what is safer and delate.
Shut it down, lost behind the love,
so shallow how we wade.
Write it down, we sign our name in blood today.
I'm still waiting and I'm ready.
Stay forever.
They're soluble and tangible.
Two havles existing to one thats full.
A piercing fastness to there away.
As we fall to pace, uprising suns.
Break forth witin us.
Won't you stay with me.
Shut it down, lost behind the love, so shallow how we made.
Write it down, we sign our name in blood today.
I'm still waiting and i'm ready.
Stay forever.
There, waiting there.
Despair, Repair.
Your tentacles rise to feel,
rise to anger to me.
Your tentacles rise to feel,
rise to know, rise with anger to me.
Your tentacles rise to feel.
They both want to know, want to know, want to feel.
They both want know, want to feel, want to know.
Raise your hands to me.
I'm still waiting and I'm ready.
Stay forever.
There's a rain forest dying, and a baby crying.
In a third world country where the families trying.
Bringing home what they're
making from the trees they're raping,
as the slave class culture,
for the first class nation.
We're pushing hard on things that we see down.
We're killing each other to make our lives so down.
We're destroying each other to make us seeem so down.
To the top we stand but the only way out is down.
What we gernate tomorrow, is what we have to save today.
But is it safe enough to save enough for me and you.
What we generate tomorrow, is what we must to save today.
Is it safe enough tto save enough for me,
cuz I save enough for you.
There's a time bomb running and the second hands stunning.
And the ecosystems pules is flat line running.
Will we change our sytem, nature's warhorse piston.
Fires on in a spread of microscopic transmission.
We're pushing hard on things that we see down.
We're killing eacho other make our lives so down.
We destroy each other to make us seem so down.
To the top we stand but the only way out is down.
What we generate tomorrow, is what we have to save today.
But is it safe enough to save enough for me and you.
What we generate tomorrow, is what we must to save today.
Is it safe enough to save enough for me,
cuz I save enough for you.
Let's break it down! It's a lie you're buying,
is it a trade, a coin a soul.
Is it a lie you buying, we bought we sold.
There's a rain forest dying, a nd a baby crying.
In a third world country where the family's trying.
Bringing home what they're
making from the trees they're raping,
as the slave class culture for the first class nation.
Resisting the Overworld.
You're scared to turn out the lights
Afraid of the dark, what follows the day
Terror grips your mind and in your heart... the pain!
Survival is your standard
To save your life, the game
Fear of the deacons of the dark... remains
"Survival, survival, survival!"
We don't give a shit
Die, submit!
We can't contain the best part of it
You're gambling on your savior
We are the lie, the dark illicit
We're going to fight CONSPIRACY
We're going to fight INCONSISTENCY
We're going to fight CONSPIRACY
Your life is just a nightmare
Your fate today
No one can shut it off
Now fall away today
TAKE CONTROL, of all the lasting lies
TAKE CONTROL, patience inside us dies
Take control, you're part of it
Take control, you're part of it
Take control, you're part of it
Take control
You're scared to turn out the lights
Afraid of the dark, what follows the day
Terror grips your mind and in your heart... the pain!
Survival is your standard
To save your life, the game
Fear of the deacons of the dark... remains
Survival is our standard
Survival, cannot stand it
Survival is our standard
Survival is our standard

I can't take this everyday
We're just the laughing stock of the CIA
The POW, MIA
Another lasting example of our life today
Tonight
We'll be there tonight
We're gonna fight until we die
Die, die, die like they want us all
Our back will be the floor for their black tie ball
And did you see the shopping mall
Well did they see the H-bomb fall
Why's this getting out of hand
Now what makes you such a better man
Tonight
We'll be there tonight
We're gonna fight until we die
Tonight
We'll be there tonight
We're gonna fight until we die
You think you wear the latest fashion
You're always talking style
But when it comes to knowing yourself
You're always in denial
You're feeling happy for your, happy for your life
Your feeling's not enough
You're feeling sorry for your, sorry for your life
Your feeling's gone
So much part of the in-crowd
You'll fuck me if I drive a nice car
Your life's one big illusion
You're not a fucking star
You're feeling happy for your, happy for your life
Your feeling's not enough
You're feeling sorry for your, sorry for your life
Your feeling's gone
You think you wear the latest fashion
You're always talking style
But when it comes to knowing yourself
You're always in denial
YOU'RE FAKE
You live a lie
YOU'RE FAKE
I hope you die
YOU'RE FAKE
You live a lie
YOU'RE FAKE
From distance I can feel.
From distance I can see.
A people standing together.
Around a world collapsing.
Waiting for this self-awakening.
From distance I can feel.
From distance I can see.
From distance I can feel.
A loveless unification.
About to stand rejection.
Waiting for this self-awakening.
Dig down, dig down, inside they're burning.
The west profits, we keep on learning.
You can tell we lost control,
and of kids who los their souls.
In our selfish yearnings, selfish earnings.
Broken fall, broken fall,
broken fall, broken fall.
Where did we go, where did we go,
time is passing how much longer must it take,
We started somethin', now its time fuckin' break.
Reassemble, what you value, is it silenced,
locked inside a diamond case.
Let's break the locks,
Gonna take the locks that bind you,
put them on machines of hate.
From distance I can feel.
From distance I can see.
A people standing together.
Around a world collapsing.
Waiting for this self-awakening.
Why lives are cast in the waves of days
Numbness feeling redemption - wakes the pain
King factory setting rates of fate
Unattended infections
Wise up, time to testify
Wise up, time to mystify
Wise up, time for us to try
Reversing alienation
I'M DROWNING, into abstraction
I'M DROWNING, down to where we wanna be
I'M DROWNING, into abstraction
I'M FLAILING OUT
We're gonna rise up 'til we suffer, going to rise up to our knees
They're gonna let us rise up 'til we suffer, going to rise up to our knees
They're gonna let us rise up 'til we suffer, going to rise up to our knees
They're gonna let us rise up 'til we suffer, going to rise up to our knees
But I'm gonna stand
White towers of bits - stacked into the flames
Lies for turning dissention builds the day
Wiped mind of the modern age
Cries for something to mention
Wise up, to the trampled mind
Wise up, time to realign
Wise up, to the chalking line
Mark the death of aggression
I'M DROWNING, into abstraction
I'M DROWNING, down to where we wanna be
I'M DROWNING, into abstraction
I'M FLAILING OUT
We're gonna rise up 'til we suffer, going to rise up to our knees
They're gonna let us rise up 'til we suffer, going to rise up to our knees
They're gonna let us rise up 'til we suffer, going to rise up to our knees
They're gonna let us rise up 'til we suffer, going to rise up to our knees
But I'm gonna stand
It's doesn't have to be this way
Break the bottled dissention
Wage the war-tearing normalcy
Explosion causing attention
Tear down the factory
Tear down the factory
Tear down the factory
Give back our broken lives
Tear down the factory
Tear down the factory
Tear down the factory
The time has come

I see the zombies with the lo-fi canned-up spirit
I see people livin' life fake everyday
But you know it's just a game and I can't hear it
The TV's tellin' you what to do, what to say
But I'll use my mind
I won't be lost and left behind
Five million people, they're trapped by a luminous screen
They turn their minds off at a certain time everyday
Some do it for comfort, some don't know what it means
But all I know it's stripping my identity away
What will you do
Don't you see that it's ENSLAVING YOU
It's my freedom to lie
It's my freedom to die
TAKE MY LIF AND MY SPIRIT
It's the freedom you lost when you closed your eyes
The TV is running your life
Your life...is on mute
Well, now that you know
What the fuck are you gonna do?
Hey, I'll use my mind I won't be lost and LEFT BEHIND
It's my freedom to lie
It's my freedom to die
TAKE MY LIFE AND MY SPIRIT
It's the freedom you lost when you closed your eyes
The TV is running your life
The TV is takin'
The TV is breakin'
Hey, I'm running
What waits inside of me?
I've got to find out, find out what it is
Hey, I'm seeing the walls fall down in front of me
I've got to find how to find my own way in
Today I saw it
I saw the enemy
And it's me against all the world
Me against the world
Today I saw it
I saw the enemy
And it's me against all the world
Me against the WHOLE FUCKING WORLD
Stay, stay swallowed
Don't say a word to me
I've got to hide pain that's left inside
Hey, I've lost
I've lost my sense of pride
Or was it gone from the time I stepped outside?
Today I saw it
I saw the enemy
And it's me against all the world
Me against the world
Today I saw it
I saw the enemy
And it's me against all the world
Me against the WHOLE FUCKING WORLD
DON'T, you're fading away
DON'T, you're fading away
DON'T, you're fading away
DON'T, you're fading away
Thought about what it meant to me
Thought about my humanity
Through it all, lost the light today
Dark inside, got nothing to say
Said yourself, so painful
Lies of life, so painful
Singing once again, so painful
Lies of life, so painful
Thought about what it meant to me
Thought about how it used to be
Small amounts flashed before my eyes
Deep inside I felt I could die
Said yourself, so painful
Lies of life, so painful
Singing once again, so painful
Lies of life, so painful
You say it's all right to turn your back on me
Said yourself, so painful
Lies of life, so painful
Singing once again, so painful
Reaching out, frigid in our
Hearts we're found
Lost in space, in our minds,
in the clutch of society.
We make a truth, we make a lie,
valued matterial fantasy.
It's all, such a vicious game
We waste tommorows' lives,
esteeming names. We ascend above,
we will cast away, we lose the sum.
Yeah lose the sum and... Let it go.
Start the flames, dream white fences, glow with rage.
What you own, owns you instead.
With sickness burning through our minds we press ahead.
But then cost, isn't clearly read, we lose the sum,
Yeah lose the sum and... Let it go
Start, resist, fall from this, and return.
Contact, lets turn the heat up.
Like on a shore, we stand on an edge.
Here where we take, there where we pledge.
To overcome, to take a stand, to lose the sum
To lose the sum.
Let it go. As we fall,
from sickness in our heart,
I can't take this ignorance
Now I wouldn't bet on your life
I can't take these set of rules
My day has turned to night
That's right, that's right, had enough
I think I'll think for myself
That's right, that's right, had enough
May I be excused from myself
I can't see your views how you see your views so I don't wanna see it
I DON'T WANNA SEE IT
All I see from you is how you seem to lose so I don't wanna hear it
You say, you say stand in line
On the line or you will burn
I say let me find my way
Maybe you should try to unlearn
The social call standard you try to live
But what really happened to you
You lost your mind when you sold your heart
To the lies you bought into
I can't see your views how you see your views so I don't wanna see it
I DON'T WANNA SEE IT
All I see from you is how you seem to lose so I don't wanna hear it
I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT
I can't see your views how you see your views so I don't wanna see it
I DON'T WANNA SEE IT
All I see from you is how you seem to lose so I don't wanna hear it
DRUGS-SEX-VIOLENCE-WAR
I NEED ALL AND MORE
I can't take this ignorance
Now I wouldn't bet on your life
I can't take these set of rules
My day has turned to night
That's right, that's right, had enough
I think I'll think for myself
That's right, that's right, had enough
May I be excused from myself
I can't see your views how you see your views so I don't wanna see it
I DON'T WANNA SEE IT
All I see from you is how you seem to lose so I don't wanna hear it
I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT
I can't see your views how you see your views so I don't wanna see it
I DON'T WANNA SEE IT
All I see from you is how you seem to lose so I don't wanna hear it
Did we ever have the thought to wonder why,
that happenstance, the bliss,
the blinding eyes, are under their control.
We feel the fright, inside, we walk away,
the pockets passions price we have to pay.
Is under their contorol.
Don't become a victim, waste away, los your soul.
Now sing it back to me.
We are the slaves, the mass the undermined,
the rotting future and the darkended mind.
We're under their control.
We are the broke, the lost, provincial tame,
the status quo that leaves us all ashamed.
We're under their control.
Don't become a victim, waste asway, lose your soul.
Nothing matters.
Our love and our lives hang in balance,
and we don't understand where our choices lay.
And we want, but its just as fun to hate yourself, when nothing matters.
We feel inside, awake we have to try,
to steal our fate back from the dollar signs.
Not under their control.
We make a wave, a light, exploding time,
we climb together to make hearts aligned.
Not under their control.
Don't become a victim, waste away, lose your soul.
Nothing matters.
Our love and our lives hang in balance,
and we don't understand where our choices lay.
And we want, but it's just as fun to hate yourself, when nothing matters.
Didn't we go, did we go, did we go insane.
Didn't we go, didn't we move faster to sleep than to change.
I dont' wait for change. I rectify.
Don't we need a change, tear free from their control.
STAND UP
In desperate times we search for the right
But can you look them right in the eyes
You say you think it'll be all right
I'm here to tell you
You were given a choice
So learn how to fight
With a shallow mind we'll conquer the world
With a shallow mind we'll be all right
But take a look at the world
And what do you do
NOT ENOUGH
Not enough for the world
It's time we got to
Save yourself
THE WILD IS OURSELVES
With a shallow mind we'll conquer the world
Running further from nature
Isn't that absurd
Full time livin' at Disneyland
Don't you get it man
We're all fuckin' animals
Don't you understand
In desperate times we search for the right
We're given a choice
So learn how to fight
Me And George Strait – Bobby Dean
Verse 1
Her “Fool Hearted Memory”
Fell out of the “Blue Clear Sky”
And baby “Right or Wrong”
It left a tear here in my eye
You know “ It’s a Fire I Can’t Put Out”
Cause “I’m Still Carrying Your Love With Me”
Cause “You Look So Good In Love”
And only “The Man In Love With You” sees
Chorus
Tonight it’ll be Just Me, George Strait And This Long Country Road
When I’m sad and lonely well that’s where I go
I pop in that tape and I drive real slow
And It’s Just Me, George Strait And This Long Country Road
Verse 2
So sing a song about the“Heartland’
Cause “”I’ve Come To Expect It From You”
Yea “You Know Me Better Than That”
Cause you’re “My Ace in The Hole” and it’s true
“You Can’t Make A Heart Love Somebody”
And when it’s “Love Without End, Amen”
The “Famous Last Words of A Fool”
Are “I’d Like To Have That One Back” again
Chorus
And Tonight it’ll be Just Me, George Strait And This Long Country Road
When I’m sad and lonely well that’s where I go
I pop in that tape and I drive real slow
And It’s Just Me, George Strait And This Long Country Road
Bridge
And “If You Know Me” then you’ll know why
Cause my “Baby’s Gotten Good At Goodbye”
Chorus
So tonight It’ll be Just Me, George Strait And This Long Country Road
When I’m sad and lonely well that’s where I go
I pop in that tape and I drive real slow
And It’s Just Me, George Strait And This Long Country Road

And the blue collar shirts of the working man
You know you’re in Country, Country

When the juke box and whiskey both pour out Strait
And you spend more time fishin’ than you do with your mate
You know you’re in Country, Country

You’re in Country, Country
When everyone at the bar
Drinks from mason jars
And wear’s old dungarees
And when you hear a pedal steel guitar
And that screaming fiddle you know you are
In Country, Country

When God Bless America is tattooed under your sleeves
And there’s a deer head at the entrance to the Tastee Freez
You know you’re in Country, Country

When the national anthems on the top ten chart
And everyone drives an F-One Fifty to the local Walmart
You know you’re in Country, Country

And when you drive to the prom on a John Deere tractor
And there’s a ring on your pocket from a can of Skoal tobacco
You know you’re in Country, Country

And when you see lots of silos, but no Pottery Barns
And you’ve spent some time down on Boone’s Farm
You know you’re in Country, Country
Chorus

Yea that’s when you know you’re in Country, Country
