Or maybe, who's the one always on your mind?
And who is the reason you're livin' for?

Ever since Chicken Little said, the sky was fallin' down upon his head
I told myself, what a wonderful world
Climb a tree, headin' straight to the pond
Get some pearly walks before they turn to frogs
I told myself, what a wonderful world
Puppy love are behind the law, before you know it it's a big old dog
Left so suddenly, where's that wonderful world?
Just a kid growin' up on a farm, hardly knew what was right from wrong
It's a jungle in this wonderful world
Ever since Johnny went to Nam, he loves his men the way he loves [his arm]
I convinced myself, it's an ugly old world
But seein' school, I was just a kid, someone had to go and shoot the president
He wasn't sleeping when he's going to bed, so they said, so now he's dead
Didn't know much but I knew it wasn't funny
Everybody's crying like they killed the Easter bunny
Nothing changes, never changes, killing in vain
Tell me what it's coming to, tell me what well we ain't gonna do
If it stays like this we'll have nothing left to lose
Saw a picture and it ain't so pretty, from the West Coast to New York City
I've seen the world, it's such a pity, we'll be here on our own
Ever since Chicken Little said, "Humpty Dumpty fell and broke his head"
I told myself, what a wonderful world
Ever since mom she reveal, the tooth ferry nor Santa Claus is real
May be so, mama, it's still a wonderful world
That may be so, mama, still it's a wonderful world
Got me a woman, won't toke about it
Says she doesn't need it, she can do without it
If I try to push it, she'll say shove it!
Baby if ya tried it maybe you might like it!
Even love it!
Loosen up!
Let's toke it over!
Loosen up!
Let's toke it over!
Always got a problem, she can't lose it
She likes to drive me crazy when she chooses
Baby, if you got it you should use it
Oh, you can play with fire, but just don't abuse it
Just use it
Loosen up!
Let's toke it over!
Loosen up!
Let's toke it over!
Loosen up!
Loosen up!
Let's toke, toke, toke about it
Let's toke, toke, toke about it
Now sticks ‘n' stones'll break your bones
A little tokin' never hurt no one!
Let's toke, toke, toke about it!
Have a toke!
I'm a-tokin' witchoo
Ah, that feels better now
Let's ya feel the groove
Ah, don't stop now
Oh, keep on a-ziggin' and a-zaggin' all over the place
On the bed, on the floor
But then, who knows baby, maybe if we really like it that much
Maybe baby, we can do it some more!
Since we had a toke, no doubt about it, ha ha
Baby's feelin' better, can't live without it
Both our hearts on fire, now we're really smokin'
Mm, all we ever needed was a little tokin'!
Let's toke, toke, toke about it
C'mon! Let's toke, toke, toke about it
Now sticks ‘n' stones'll break your bones
A little tokin' never hurt no one!
Let's toke, toke, toke about it! Ow!
Have a toke!
Let's toke, toke, toke about it
C'mon! Let's toke, toke, toke about it
Let's toke, toke, toke about it
Let's toke, toke, toke, toke, toke, toke, wooh!
Toke, toke, toke, toke, toke, toke, toke, toke
Toke it, toke it, toke it, toke it, toke it, toke it, wooh!
Toke about it for a little bit!
(Keith, Hannon, Skeoch, Wheat)
You don't even know, where I've been or where I'm coming from, at all
Who was the one who said nothing's impossible, who was wrong
Who was the one to even say at all, anything is possible
You ask me where I'm going, I don't even know myself
I couldn't say 'cos it's undecided on which way I should go
I don't know!
I've been invited but I just can't make it
Got too excited and I just can't take it
My fuel ignited, got too exited
I've been invited but I just can't take it no more
[Solo]
How am I to show, what I'm feeling deep down in my heart, in my soul
No other way but by a miracle - anything's not possible
I don't know where I'm goin', you don't even know yourself
You couldn't say 'cos it's undecided on which way you should go
Do you know?
I've been invited but I just can't make it
Got too excited and I just can't take it
My fuel ignited, got too exited, I took the message celebrating again
I guess it must have been at least an hour or more
I must've had myself some powerful thoughts
I've been invited but I just can't make it
Got too excited and I just can't take anymore
[Solo]
I've been invited but I just can't make it
Got too excited and I just can't take it
My fuel ignited, got too exited
I've been invited but I just can't make it - at all
It's the same old song and dance,
You're askin' me for a second chance.
I don't care, baby, what you say,
All I wanna do is gotta get away.
Been too many times callin' out your name,
You promised me, but you never came.
Was it, baby, all a game to you? Yeah.
After all the things that I've done for you,
Say your love, your love, could not be true.
I don't need nobody like you.
So turn out the lights, the party's over.
Turn out the lights, the party's over for you.
This time is the last time, never be a next time.
Tonight I wanna dance to a brand new tune.
You know, it took so long for me to realize
You got a cheatin' heart full of dirty lies.
Now listen baby, I got news for you.
Now don'tcha come knockin' on my door.
'Cause I don't want your love no more.
I don't need nobody like you.
So turn out the lights, (lights out) the party's over.
Turn out the lights, (lights out) the party's over for you.
This time is the last time, never be a next time.
Tonight I wanna dance to rock and roll.
I guess it must-a been you were so caught up
That you didn't even notice we were fallin apart.
Now you played the game, now you play the fool.
I don't need nobody like you.
I don't want it. I don't need it.
No, no, nobody like you. All I got to say.
So turn out the lights, (lights out) the party's over.
Turn out the lights, (lights out) the party's over for you.
This time is the last time, never be a next time.
Turn out the lights, the party's over.
Turn out the lights.
Turn out the lights. (turn out the lights)
Turn out the lights, the party's over.
Turn out the lights. (turn out the lights)
Turn out the lights, (lights out) the party's over.
Turn out the lights, the party's over. Yeah.

Little Suzi's on the up, looking for a get-away
Ruby tries to bring her down, she's lookin' for another way
Little Suzi's on the up, headin' for the spotlights
Ruby finally gets up, lookin' for some quiet night
Chorus:
And the music makes her feel so hot
Ooh and she'll smile for the camera with all she's got
Don't bring her down, she's a lot like you
She'll be richer by far if her dreams come true
Little Suzi's on the up
Little Suzi's on the up, now suddenly it's not a game
Ruby's got to give up, 'cos Suzi's plainly set on pain
Little Suzi's on the up, cost in cost, your point is made
Ruby's gonna hang around, to make sure Suzi's okay
(chorus)
Don't bring her down, she's a lot like you
She'll be richer by far if her dreams come true
Little Suzi's on the up
(solo)

Don't you bring her down, she's a lot like you
She'll be richer by far when her dreams come true

Heading for the spotlight, oh little Suzi
Oh and the music makes her feel so hot, go little Suzi, yeah

Mr. Trouble never hangs around,
When he hears this Mighty sound,
Here I come to save the day!
That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!
Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right,
Mighty Mouse will join the fight!
On the sea or on the land,
I'll be lovin' you come morning, day to day, dust to dawn
Feelin' you're the reason I won't be leavin' so
Love you in the evening, supper time and afternoon
Your days of happiness beside the month of June
Ooh, don't want my yesterday, to wake me up, slap me in the face
Ooh, don't let my yesterday, wrap you up and carry you away
Ooh I need your lovin', without you baby love don't mean nothing
Oooh I need your lovin', 's got to be your lovin' or nothing
January, and in March, February, June
Any day beside of that couldn't be too soon
My life without you babe is a heart that's torn
Season of love for you, storm without a warn
Ooh, didn't want my yesterday, woke me right up, and slapped me in the face
Ooh, you let my yesterday, wrap you right up and carry you away
Ooh I need your lovin', without you baby love don't mean nothing
Oooh I need your lovin', 's got to be your lovin' or nothing
Took all my yesterdays of sorrow, and threw them all away
Took all that I could take, or could borrow
'Cos today's yesterday, today is yesterday's tomorrow - whoa!
[Solo]
Ooh, go away my yesterday, can't take that much, I'll look it in the face
Ooh, wish all my yesterdays, would've packed it up and carried it away
Ooh I need your lovin', 'cos without you baby love don't mean nothing
Oooh I need your lovin', 's got to be your lovin' or nothing - whoa!
Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah, it's your love or nothing
Wonderful lady
Such a beautiful baby
Gonna teach him what's wrong and what's right
Gonna show him direction
With love and affection
Gonna make his connection in life
But now things didn't go the way she thought they would
He think's God is the devil and evil is good
He probably wouldn't change it even if he could at all
*CHORUS*
All you know is what you feel
You got to read between the lines
What is not and what is real
You got to learn how to recognize
What you're holdin' in your hands
What you see before your eyes
If you're gonna understand
You got to learn how to recognize
Heart is in danger
Well, love is a stranger
When the fear turns the anger to rage
It's not makin' any sense
'Cause you don't know the difference
Wouldn't know it if it slapped you in the face
Now it's all mixed up
It's all a big mistake
He don't know the difference between love and hate
He probably wouldn't change it even if he could at all
*REPEAT CHORUS*
Why should I understand
When I could not comprehend what you say
Just shove it in my face
But if I cannot be made
I'm gonna understand
But now things didn't go the way she thought they would
He think's God is the devil and evil is good
Tesla-Love Song

With a snap in her style and a click in her heels.
In seconds flat my heart she could steal.
Lookin' ev'ry bit of a where it's at.
More like breakfast, lunch and dinner, as a matter of fact.
Mm. There she stood in living color, standin' all alone.
So I walked up to her, I say, "How do you do?"
And she said, "I don't".
Lady Luck took a walk.
When all I wanted was some company.
Lady Luck took a walk.
You know she walks right out on me.
Hard as it seems, but not as hard to believe.
What can it be?
I guess I'm on a losin' streak.
And I know it's true, I got a bad attitude.
But I'm down on my luck. Bitch, tell me, what's your excuse?
Tell me now.
Lady Luck took a walk.
When all I wanted was some company.
Lady Luck took a walk.
You know she walks right out on me.
Lady Luck took a walk.
When all I wanted was some company.
Lady Luck took a walk.
You know she walks right out on me.
Lady Luck (Lady Luck) took a walk. (took a walk)
What i feel is what i say,
I'm keeping it real so never mind the taste,
Cause i know there's nothing deeper than truth,
So give me the reason not the excuse,
Even the things i can hardly believe,
Is something that i can use,
I'll never be your alibi,
Or tell you what you want to hear,
Knowing that i'd rather die.
Than have my words be insincere,
I GOT NO GLORY,
So i'm gonna give it to you like it is,
If you want to hear the real story,
And not some candy coated lie
COME AND GET IT
To falsify don't make no sense,
I'd rather deal with the consequences,
Cause i know there's nothing deeper than truth,
So give me the reason not the excuse,
Even the things i can hardly believe,
Is something that i can use
I'll never need an alibi,
Don't sell it to me out of fear
I told you that i'd rather die.
Than have my words be insincere
I GOT NO GLORY,
So i'm gonna give it to you like it is,
If you want to hear the real story,
And not some candy coated lie
I GOT NO GLORY,
So i'm gonna give it to you like it is,
If you want to hear the real story,
And not some candy coated lie
Down on the corner, walkin' the streets.
She smiles for ev'ryone she meets.
He's not a man, no, he's just another trick.
She'd do it all just to get that fix.
Did you do it for love?
Did you do it in the name of love?
No, it ain't love she's gonna find.
She's got just one thing on her mind:
Money. She did, she did it for the money.
All in the name of money.
All for the dirty green.
Cold in the city with the traffic slow.
He's got nobody, no place to call home.
Takin' hard earned money from a poor, helpless soul.
Didn't do it for love.
Didn't do it in the name of love.
No, it ain't love he's out to find.
He's got just one thing on his mind:
Money. He did, he did it for the money.
All in the name of money.
All for the dirty green.
[Bridge]
And the young girl, she gets down on her knees, she's there to please.
She wants her money.
And then the young man says, "Now, put your hands in the air.
Give me what I want, Give me what I need. Now don't you see?
All I want, all I want, all I want is your money, yeah. Give it to me!"
He's got the money, left the scene of the crime.
Not a clue would he leave behind.
One's bad misfortune make for another's eats.
And now the young girl's trick's his treat.
Money. He did, he did it for the money.
All in the name of money.
All for the dirty green.
For the money. He did it, did it for the money.
All in the name of money.
Looks so good, from her head to feet
[Body English tights and] to me so so sweet
Got a perfect ten, there ain't no doubt
She's the kind of girl you dream about
[Chorus:]
You know she's got it - she's got everything
She knows you want it - oh but you'll never get a thing
Ooh what you're doin', baby what she's doin' to me
I'm head over heels, for that cover queen
Dressed to kill, this ain't no game
[Checkin' care of bitch 'cos] needs a life of fame
And everywhere she goes, she's the talk, she's the talk of the town
She keeps it clean, but still gets around
[Chorus]
Ooh, head over heels for the cover queen, ohh
[Solo]
Hey there cover queen, you know the time will come
Where you're not laughin', neither one
'Cos the pretty smile will have a brandnew face
Will come along to take your place
You know she's got it, now she's got everything
You know you want it, oh but you'll never get a thing
Ooh what you're doin', baby what she's doin' to me
I'm head over heels, head over heels, for that cover queen
[Solo]
Oh every time I look at you, all I wanna do is get next to you
I see your face in a magazine, the best lookin' bitch that I've ever seen
Every day, yeah yeah, I wait till the morning light
Ooh with a feeling, yeah yeah, something here ain't right
When I think about it now, oh baby, ooh
When I think about all the good times we had
I knew there was something wrong, there was no chance for me and you
Oh now, now I try to tell you baby, there ain't nothing we can do
'Cos I'm no good for you, oh no baby, you're no good for me
Now it's been so long, so long, since the last time I've seen your face
I tell ya, there ain't nobody baby, in this whole wide world
Who could ever take your place, no way, oh no
Now I try to tell you baby, there ain't nothing we can do
'Cos I'm no good for you, no baby, you're no good for me
Oh, what I'm tryin' to say is, we're no good together
You know we can't go on, we can't go on together, no, oh baby
Honey we can't go on, we can't go on this way, baby, oh yeah
Listen to me, oh listen to me, I got something to say, I got something to say
I say that we're no good together, we're no good together
Now what's going round, you're all over town, and you're bringin' me down
[Solo]
Oh baby, we're no good together, we're no good together
We're no good together
Oh baby baby baby babe you know it's just no good
I don't smoke marihuana, I don't take LSD
'Cos I'm a country boy from Nashville, with my boots up to my knees
I like to sit around and be lazy, I like to drink a lot of beer
'Cos I'm a country boy from Nashville, with my hair cut to my ears
I'd like to cut the balls of a long-haired hippy, and tie them up to a tree
'Cos I'm a country boy from Nashville, that's Nashville, Tennessee
Well I'm a country boy from Nashville, Tennessee, so don't, fuck, with me
That's right, they made me do it
Well a hail from Oklahoma, and I don't care who you be...
Take me across the water
?Cause I need a place to hide
You know, I done the rancher?s daughter
And I sure did hurt his pride
Well, there's a hundred miles of desert
Lies between his hide and mine
I don't need no food and no water, Lord
?Cos I'm runnin' out of time
Fightin', killin', wine and women
Gonna put me to my grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'
Nothin' left to save but my life
So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion
Thinkin' the world was mine
I made my breaks and some big mistakes
By the stealin' when I should've been buyin'
All that fightin', killin', wine and women
Gonna put me to my grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'
Nothin' left to save but my life
Life, life, life, life
So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion
Thinkin' the world was mine
I made my breaks and some big mistakes
Stealin' when I should've been buyin'
Stealin? when I should?ve been buyin?
Stealin? when I should?ve been buyin?
You know I was stealin?
When I should?ve been buyin?
Stealin? when I should?ve been buyin?
Stealin? when I should?ve been buyin?
Stealin? when I should?ve been buyin?
Stealin?, should?ve been buyin?
Stealin?, should?ve been buyin?
Stealin?, should?ve been buyin?
Stealin?, stealin?, stealin'
Stealin?, stealin'
I was stealin? when I should?ve been buyin?
Stealin? I should?ve been buyin?
Stealin? when I should?ve been buyin?
Stealin? when I should?ve been buyin?
Down to the wire, on the end of the road
Down to the wire, and the kids don't know
Mother Nature's on her knees, and we're the reason of her disease
Hangin' off the ceiling, climbing up the walls
Crawling on my hands and knees to make it through it all
Now we can change or stay the same, one's the answer and the next to blame
Solution is a world of change
If we're gonna make it through tomorrow
Down in the dirt and fallin' out on the street
Crossin' the line myself [to make it to me]
Mother Nature's still on her knees, and we're the reason of her disease
Hangin' off the ceiling, climbing up the walls
Crawling on my hands and knees to make it through it all
Now we can change or stay the same, one's the answer and the next insane
Solution is a world of change
If we're gonna make it through tomorrow
The solution is to make a change today, oh yeah
Make it, I said make it!
[Solo]
Down to the wire, on the end of the road
Down to the wire, all the kids don't know
Mother Nature's down on her knees, and we're the reason of her disease
Hangin' off the ceiling, climbing up the walls
Crawling on my hands and knees, just to make it, just to make it
Now we can change or stay the same, one's the answer and the next to blame
Solution is a world of change
If we're gonna make it through tomorrow
The solution is to make a change today, okay
If we ever make it, now will we ever make it
Through tomorrow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
There's things that i've bought
And there's things I need
It's more than a thought,
You know you better believe
I feel it's not what you got,
But what your giving back means
So much
Lifes beautiful,
And life sucks
Hey if you like it or not
So what, that's all we got
Who cares!
Your telling everybody that the worlds unfair, well
So What! So What!
That's life
It's time to get real,
It's not paradise,well
So What! So What!
What if you got,
All of your dreams
But then what if it's not
Everything,
To you that you always thought
That it was gonna be
So What
Life's beautiful,
And life sucks
Hey if you like it or not
So what, that's all we got
Who cares!
Your telling everybody that the worlds unfair, well
So What! So What!

It's not paradise,well
(Keith, Skeoch)
You gotta see him, are you ready, to take me in and rock me steady
Feel the power, feel the heat, put yourself in the driver's seat
You're in the air, I feel you surround me
I'll do anything that you wanna do - come on!
[Chorus:]
Rock me, rock me (rock), rock me to the top, to the top, baby
Rock me, rock me (rock), don't ever stop, no
I'll take command, take control, now I see you comin' back for more
I see you like it, but you don't need it, oooh, you wanna feel it
I'm in the air, feel me surround me
I'll do anything that I want you to - come on!
[Chorus]
[Solo]
Rock me, rock me (rock), rock me to the top, [says you looked hot] to the top
Rock me, rock me (rock), ohh baby don't you stop
(Rock) I wanna feel the air, the air, wanna feel the air (rock)
It's the same old song and dance,
You're askin' me for a second chance.
I don't care, baby, what you say,
All I wanna do is gotta get away.
Been too many times callin' out your name,
You promised me, but you never came.
Was it, baby, all a game to you? Yeah.
After all the things that I've done for you,
Say your love, your love, could not be true.
I don't need nobody like you.
So turn out the lights, the party's over.
Turn out the lights, the party's over for you.
This time is the last time, never be a next time.
Tonight I wanna dance to a brand new tune.
You know, it took so long for me to realize
You got a cheatin' heart full of dirty lies.
Now listen baby, I got news for you.
Now don'tcha come knockin' on my door.
'Cause I don't want your love no more.
I don't need nobody like you.
So turn out the lights, (lights out) the party's over.
Turn out the lights, (lights out) the party's over for you.
This time is the last time, never be a next time.
Tonight I wanna dance to rock and roll.
I guess it must-a been you were so caught up
That you didn't even notice we were fallin apart.
Now you played the game, now you play the fool.
I don't need nobody like you.
I don't want it. I don't need it.
No, no, nobody like you. All I got to say.
So turn out the lights, (lights out) the party's over.
Turn out the lights, (lights out) the party's over for you.
This time is the last time, never be a next time.
Turn out the lights, the party's over.
Turn out the lights.
Turn out the lights. (turn out the lights)
Turn out the lights, the party's over.
Turn out the lights. (turn out the lights)
Turn out the lights, (lights out) the party's over.
(Keith, Wheat, Hannon)
Hold me close now, hold me tight, don't let go of me tonight
You're all I want, you're all I need
Hold me close now, hold me tight, and don't let go of me tonight
Sweet paradise, yeah
How I love all of those crazy little things you've said and done for me
You're the one for me
Darlin', dry your eyes, I can't stand to see you cry
Now just turn and walk away, don't look back when I say goodbye paradise
Days go by and life goes on, I feel I've been away too long
What I would give to be with you, days go by and life drags on
Feel I've been away too long, for much too long, yeah
And all the while that I'm away, don't let our love fade away
Don't you fade away
Now as sure as the sun is gonna shine, the day will come
Now I'm waitin' for the day, there'll be no more sayin' goodbye paradise
My sweet paradise, you are the reason why it tears me up inside
And I break down and cry, didn't wanna say goodbye paradise
I'm comin' home to you tonight, comin' home to you tonight
So hold on tight, tonight I'm on my way back home to paradise
I'm so lost without you, I can't live without you
I've been away too long, now, tonight I'm on my way back home to you
My my paradise, my my paradise
To hold you in my arms, you're all that I adore
To see your smilin' face as I walk through the door
I'll never say goodbye again, no
Stormy night under jet black skies, Billy pulls into town
the thunder rolled and the lightning bolts come crashin' to the ground
Cold as ice, hard as stone, as he walks into the room
With another man who was feeling the same way, all hell's breakin' loose
Bang bang, shoot 'em up, bang bang, blow you away
[Chorus:]
It's a showdown in the no man's land, for the cowboy of the modern day
Come sundown, don't be hangin' round, 'cos the cowboy'll blow you away
Al Capone and the Bad Boy Jones, on the wrong side of the law
Johnny D and his company, always first to the draw,
Gangster lean, feelin' so mean, try to take more than their share
'Cos all they saw was ruling it all, the scent of blood was in the air
[Chorus]
[Solo]
So here we are and we've come this far, but it's only getting worse
Foreign lands with their terrorist demands, only cause the good to hurt
The U.S.A., the U.S.S.R., with their six-guns to their side
I see the message, written on the wall, too much anger deep inside
Bang bang, shoot 'em up, bang bang, blow you away
[Chorus]
Just about a year ago, I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune, I'm lookin' for a pot of gold
Things got bad and things got worse
I guess you know the tune
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
I boarded on the Greyhound, and I'm walkin' there, by the road
I was just passin' through, it must be seven months or more
I ran out of time and money
It looks like the two were friends
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Man from a magazine, who said I was on my way
But somewhere I lost connection, I ran out of songs to play
I planned many times of one-night stands
It looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
If I had a million dollars for every song I've sung
Or every time I had to play while people slapped their tongue
I know I'll catch the next train
Back to where I live
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
I'm feelin' so much better.
But not quite feelin' fine.
Now, I've got to get my shit together,
Still. Little bit closer to the line.
But I love those lazy days and crazy nights.
It's my way, it's my life.
I love those lazy days and crazy nights.
I'm doin' fine right here on borrowed time.
Needless for you to worry,
No use in losin' sleep.
Now, I really do appreciate it.
For all your concern for me.
But I love those lazy days and crazy nights.
It's my way, it's my life.
I love those lazy days and crazy nights.
I'm doin' fine right here on borrowed time.
Ridin' through stormy weather.
So high I can't look down.
Still I've got to get it together
'Cause I'm lost in the lost in found.
But I love those lazy days and crazy nights.
It's my way, it's my life.
I love those lazy days and crazy nights.
I love those lazy days and crazy nights.
Lazy days and crazy nights.
Give it to me. Lazy days and crazy nights.
Can't do without those lazy days and crazy nights.
Just In Case lyrics
Outside the sky is blue
Always try to do my part
But now it's raining in my heart
There's just so much I can do
It's really got ahold of me
It's why i feel so incomplete
If life's a broken band
Only i would understand
I'll be more than glad to join right in
If only I could pray,
I know what I would say
To whom it may concern
Just in case I dont make it to heaven
I'd like to personally thank you for givin'
Somethin' so beautiful
That makes life worth livin' ,yea
Thank you just in case I
I'm trying once again
But everytime I try to talk to you,
It's like I never seem to get through
I never have the strength to ever put my faith in you
Maybe I should just realize,
I don't deserve you in my life
They say it's in your hands,
That everythings just like you planned
It's good enough for them, so why not me
If only I could pray,
I know what I would say...
Dear god i'm talking to ya
Just in case I don't make it to heaven
I'd like to personally thank you for givin'
Somethin' so beautiful
That makes life worth livin' ,yea
Thank you just in case I
Soon enough the time will come
The hours getting late
The sun is settin' fast and
You'll be standing by the gate
I'm sure your gonna say to me..
(SON WHY), couldnt you just relate
I'll say to tell you the truth, You know I already do
In so many other ways
Just in case I don't make it to heaven
I'd like to personally thank you for givin'
Somethin' so beautiful
That makes life worth livin' ,yea
Thank you just in case I
Just in case I don't make it to heaven
I'd like to personally thank you for givin'
Somethin' so beautiful
That makes life worth livin' ,yea
Thank you just in case I.....
The future's on it's way, the past is gone
Old and rusted, with your busted bones
Break the crystal ball, you're on your own
Wipe away the fear of the unknown
Now, here we go, on with the show
Makin' our way, just living for today
It's in my sight, and the time is right
For takin' a bow, into the now
Guilty of communication crimes
Was it just a binge, or was I blind
Overcoming opened up my mind
Don't let the things from the past eat you up inside
Now, here we go, on with the show
Makin' our way, just living for today
It's in my sight, and the time is right
For takin' a bow, into the now
Is it love that you break, or is it love that you make
Is it love we're breaking, love we're making, or love just wasting time
Now, here we go, and it's on with the show
Makin' our way, just living for today
It's in my sight, and the time is right
For takin' a bow, into the now
Now, here we go, on with the show
Makin' our way, just living for today
It's in my sight, and the time is right
I met a little barroom queen down in Memphis
She tried to get me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
But I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
It's just that honky tonk woman
Hey, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's just that honky tonk woman
Hey, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
I laid a divorcee in Detroit City
I had to put up some kind of a fight
And that lady then she covered me with roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
Son it's just that honky tonk woman
I said gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's that honky tonk woman
Oh, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's that honky tonk woman
Oh, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's that honky tonk woman
I said gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
Why don't you just gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
The honky tonk blues?
(Keith, Skeoch)
You know I'm on a slick trip, I'm always ready to kick ass
Up on the stage I'm in a rage, I'm havin' the time of my life
Yes, indeed, what a sweet, sweet life it is
Until some loco two-bit floosie with a Louie Le-Strange
Ain't good for nothin' but trouble
They're just two fools livin' up to their names
And now it's startin' to rain on my parade
You know there's nothin' like the real world to get me down
There's nothin' like the world outside that turns me upside down
It makes me feel like I'm headin' down a one-way, dead-end street
[Chorus:]
There's no way out, no way out of this living hell
No way out, no way out, unless you walk heaven's trail
No way out, no way out of this living hell, livin' hell
You know I had it made in the shade, thinkin' that it's not so bad after all
That's when I woke up, smelled the coffee, I'm back where I started again, yes
And now it's pourin' rain on my parade
No there's nothin' like the real world to get me down, no
One is there to lift you up, one to drag you down
Now, don't you see that we're heading down a one-way, dead-end street
[Chorus]
[Solo]
There's no way out, no way out of this living hell
No way out, no way out, unless you walk heaven's trail
No way out, no way out of this living hell - I guess I'll live in hell
[Chorus]
Yes, it's a beautiful thing
Go straight to hell,
All you government personnel,
Sittin' awf'ly well
In your big, white house up on the hill.
You say now, give me a home
Where the buffalo roam,
Where the deer and antelope play.
You can bet your ass we'll blow them all away.
Fuck it up until it's bent,
Then a-wonder where it went.
Thinkin' you was a-heaven sent, ha ha ha,
You're nothin' but hell!
(Keith, Hannon)
Fallin’ rain
Outside my window
But all and all I know
It's gettin' better every day
Soon the sun will shine
Through my window
When it's gonna come
Ya know I really I couldn't say
Ah but I know
It's gettin' better every day
Ah it's gettin' better now
Every day
Yeah yeah ye-ah yeah
I'm a hard workin' man
Doin' all that I can
Tryin' to make ends meet
Just a makin' my way
Through the jungle today
It's gettin' the best of me
But I know it’s gettin' better
And a change is gonna come my way
Yes I know it's gettin' better
Better every day
Uh huh yeah
Been a change in the scene
If ya know what I mean
Good things are comin' my way
And now I'm livin' my life
And I’m doin' it right
Sun shinin' every day

And a change is gonna come my way
Yes I feel it gettin' better
Better every day-ay yeah yeah
(SOLO)
Now it's only gettin' better ow

Oh-- gettin' better every day yeah-eah
Ah-ah yeah yeah yeah
Getting’ Better
Oww every day

A Gettin’ Better
But we wrote this one, way back in the club days matters
When this was where it's at.
You know, fuck all that 15,000, this was it, you know
And we just love it, and this is the kind of shit we was writin' on the side
'Cos we love to get down fo' boogie
Oh take it away, Frankie, baby!
I wanna ride all around, into the sun
And I won't be back 'til the morning comes
I'm gettin' down fo' boogie, all night long
I said come what come, all gather round, 'cos we're all gonna put it down
Get down fo' boogie, all night long, ow!
[Solo]
Mr. Skeoch
[Solo]
I wanna ride all around, into the sun
And I won't be back 'til the morning comes
I'm gettin' down fo' boogie, all night long
I'm gettin' down fo' boogie, down fo' boogie
I'm gettin' down fo' boogie, all night long, yes I do
I'm gettin' down fo' boogie, all night long, tell me, how 'bout you
I'm gettin' down fo' boogie, all night long
That's all folks!
Philadelphia, thank you very much for puttin' up with us tonight
I ain't no program on your television screen.
They only taught me what they wanted me to be.
Heard all your so-called facts. Now hit me with the truth.
Takes a lotta nerve the way you played me for the fool.
It's my personal selection to fly in my own direction.
No time for fuckin' 'round with mediocrity.
Takes ev'rything I got just tryin' to be me.
Life's like a highway. We're all try'n' to stay on time.
Travel atcha own speed. You take your lane, I'll take mine.
Don't believe all that you hear or half of whatcha see.
'S'waste o' time to criticize. Don't de-rock me.
[Chorus:]
Don't de-rock me. Don't de-rock me.
You be you and I'll be me. Don't de-rock me.
"Backstage Betty", banana in her cherry, in the shower down on her knees.
Like to think she'll own ya if she'll do all that ya please.
Hurts like a mother bein' cursed by a punter who's five sheets to the wind.
Won't stop at nothin', claimin' to be cousin till security lets 'em in.
Now I'm no symbol of perfection, so why deal with this infection?
Tired of bein' treated like some piece of property.
Fakes, lies, patronizin' don't sit well with me.
Blastin' down the highway, try'n' to stay between the lines.
You can get to where you're go'n'. Just don't ignore the signs.
Don't de-rock me. Don't de-rock me.
Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years
Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy, yeah yeah
Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
Changes, time's makin' changes in my life
Rearrangin', can't seem to stop the hands of time
I remember, I was so young, I was much too young to see
Now I'm older, growing older, and I see things differently
Oh can't you see, it's changin' you and me
[Chorus:]
Time's makin' changes, time's makin' changes in my life
Time's rearrangin', changin' you and me
Faces, strange faces cloud my mind
Empty traces, make it hard for me to find
Somewhere in the distance, is there someone who awaits
For that moment I am taken over by the hands of fate
Can't you see, the world is changin' me
[Chorus] - yeah yeah
Nothin' ever stays the same, it's always gonna change
I'm on my way, yeah yeah
[Solo]
Changes, time's makin' changes in my life
Rearrangin', always changin', can't seem to stop the hands of time
Can't you see, it's changin' everything
[Chorus] - yeah yeah
Young girl sweet as candy, a-turnin' hearts to stone.
She'll catch a young man's fancy. A-love 'em, leave 'em alone.
I should-a seen it comin'. She took me for a ride.
Still feel the fire burnin'. That's why I can't...
...Stop.
Can't stop fallin'.
I can't stop.
Can't stop fallin'.
I can't stop fallin' for your love.
Can't stop fallin'. Ah.
I can't stop.
Can't stop fallin'.
I can't win.
For losin'.
I can't stop fallin' for your love.
Can't stop fallin'.
I'm a fool for you.
Lovin' after midnight, a shadow on the run.
By the time ya realize, the damage has been done.
You better keep your distance, if ya know what's good for you.
Me, I got no resistance. And that's why I can't... (To Chorus)
Yeah, I'm a fool for you.
I'm a fool for you. Ow!
Little Miss "Cotton Candy" still turnin' hearts to stone.
Candy's fine and dandy, but then, sex don't rot your teeth
I never seen it comin'. She took by surprise.
Still feed the fire burnin'. That's why I can't... (To Chorus)
Yeah, I'm a fool for you. Ooh.
I can't stop fallin' for your love.
You got a bad reputation
That's the word out on the town
It gives a certain fascination
But it can only bring you down
You better turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down
Turn yourself around
You had bad breaks well that's tough luck
You play too hard too much rough stuff
You're too sly so cold
That bad reputation has made you old
Turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down
I've had all I can take,
The lyin' to my face,
I'm tired of the abuse,
All the excuses that you've made.
They'll be no compromise,
I finally realize,
It's time to cut the noose,
I'm bustin' loose and start livin' my life.
(chorus)
I don't care what ya say,
Ya better get outta my way,
I'm tired of wastin' my time,
Now I'm breakin' free.
I always knew the day would come,
When everythings comin' undone,
Now I've made up my mind,
I'm breakin' free.
I'm done with swallowin' my pride,
And the truth bein' denide,
Ya know it makes me sick,
How your so quick to always critisize,
Ya never find fault in yourself,
Ya always blamin' someone else,
When ya know that it's you,
And it's true that with you it's just a living hell.
(chorus)
I don't care what ya say,
Ya better get outta my way,
I'm tired of wastin' my time,
Now I'm breakin' free.
I always knew the day would come,
When everything's comin' undone,
Now I've made up my mind,
I'm breakin' free.
Everytime I start feelin' down,
I know it's time that I turn this around,
Every time I start thinkin' what we've grown.
I can't believe that it went so bad,
All the times that ya drove me mad,
I can't believe that I stayed with you so long.
(chorus)
I don't care what ya say,
Ya better get outta my way,
I'm tired of wastin' my time,
Now I'm breakin' free.
I always knew the day would come,
Where everythings comin' undone,
Now I've made up my mind,
I'm breakin' free.
(Verse)
If I would have known it,
was gonna come down to this.
I'd take back the first kiss,
that lead to choking on your fist.
Your heart had been broken,
mine too then you ripped it wide open.
Called up your two girlfriends,
told them hurry up and get your ass over here now!
(Bridge)
Said it won't be long 'til I wish she were dead
She had no intentions of leaving without taking everything.
First time in years, you didn't lie to me!
(Refrain)
You took my pride, my dreams, my hopes.
Even my heart when you knew it was broke.
Every single ounce of integrity,
you took all of me.
All of me.
Turned my pockets inside out,
making sure that without a doubt,
you had absolutely everything.
You took all of me.
All of me.
(Verse 2)
Watching as your leaving,
thinking that was so unbelieving.
Now I can start breathing,
but looks can be deceiving.
She is so cold hearted.
Sending me a letter regarding,
the last time we parted,
said she was only getting started.
(Bridge)
I can't believe she still wants something from me,
when she left me here with nothing at all.
How about her paying me,
for my pain and suffering?
(Refrain)
You took my pride, my dreams, my hopes.
Even my heart when you knew it was broke.
Every single ounce of my sanity,
you took all of me.
All of me.
Turned my pockets inside out,
making sure that without a doubt,
you had absolutely everything.
You took all of me.
All of me.
(Verse 3)
Now that it's all over,
I can feel the weight off of my shoulder.
Good thing you're a good liar,
you stole enough of my money to retire.
(Bridge)
I can't believe she still wants something from me,
when she left me here with nothing at all.
How about her paying me,
for my pain and suffering?
(Refrain)
You took my pride, my dreams, my hopes.
Even my heart when you knew it was broke.
Every single ounce of integrity,
you took all of me.
All of me.
Turned my pockets inside out,
making sure that without a doubt,
you had absolutely everything.
You took all of me.
All of me.
If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble into the sea
There would still be you and me
Kind woman, I give you my arm
Kind woman, nothing more
Little drops of rain
Whisper of the pain
Tears and love lost in the days gone by
My love is strong
With you there is no wrong
together we shall go until we die
my my my
Inspiration's what you are to me
Inspiration-look, see
And so today, my world smiles
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles
Thanks to you, it will be done
For you to me, are the only one
What I say is
Happiness no longer sad
Happiness, I'm glad
If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you.
When the mountains crumble to the sea
There would still be you and me.
Ev'rybody wants somethin' for nothin'.
Yeah, they all want it fo free.
These days, now nothin' cost ya somethin'.
No tellin' what it could be.
Never happen if ya never try.
All the nights awake and the tears we've cried
Could fill the seven seas.
So, c'mon, ev'rybody, c'mon, ev'rybody,
We got to give ourselves, got to give ourselves a hand.
And if we feel it's all a mess, yeah, yeah,
Why don't we try a little, try a little lve 'n' tenderness.
If we got more than comes around, yeah, yeah,
Why don't we care a little, share a little.
Sure to come back around. Guitar!
Lately everybody's thinkin'
Me, my, only I thinkin' for me.
Here lately, everbody's talkin', baby.
But we all know that talk is cheap.
We can make it happen if we make a try.
All the nights awake and the tears we've cried
Could fill the seven seas.
So, c'mon, ev'rybody, c'mon, ev'rybody,
We gotta give ourselves, gotta give ourselves a hand, yeah.
And before it falls apart, yeah, yeah,
Why don't we live a little, give a little, straight from the heart.
And if this old world gets ya down, yeah, yeah,
You gotta pick it up and toss it in the air, kick it all around. Kick it!
I don't even know how I wanna say, but I know what I wanna say.
Do you know where I'm comin' from?
As the bass plays on, and still the guitars strum,
While the Colonel beats the drum, so the whole band plays along,
And the whole world sings a song, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And before it falls apart, yeah, yeah,
Live a little, give a little, straight from the heart.
If this whole world gets ya down, yeah, yeah,
You gotta pick it up and toss it in the air. Kick it all around.
And if you don't like the way the music plays, the way it sounds,
Hop back in the kitchen, change it all around.
Stir it up, baby. Stir it up, baby, stir it up,
Stir it up, stir it up, stir it up,
Stir it up now, stir it up, baby.
Stir it up, baby, stir it up, baby, stir it up,
Stir it up, stir it up, stir it up, stir it up,
Stir it up now, stir it up, baby. And you know:
Nobody gets somethin' for nothin'.
Nobody's gettin' it for free. [Spoken:] But you know
These days now nothin' costs ya somethin', baby.
And-a there ain't no tellin what it could be.
So stir it up, baby, stir it up, baby.
Stir it up, baby, stir it up, baby.
Stir, stir it up, baby, stir it up, baby.
Well we had a lot of luck on Venus

Yesterdaze gone.
Why did she go, where'd I go wrong?
Is it somethin' that I said
That made you walk away?
Yesterday is gone
Why did she go and leave me lost in yesterday?
It's gonna be alright.
It's gonna be O.K.
All I need is somebody to squeeze
To forget about yesterday. And I
Try (try, try) to forget her.
And I'm told
The sooner the better
Yesterdaze gone
Why did she go, where'd I go wrong?
Is it somethin' that I said
That made you walk away?
Yesterday is gone
Why did she go and leave me lost in yesterday?
Day after day,
Night after night,
I'll keep on lookin' till I find a way
To get her off my mind. And you know I
Try (try, try) to forget her.
And I'm told
The sooner the better
Yesterdaze gone
Why did she go, where'd I go wrong?
Is it somethin' that I said
That made you walk away?
Yesterday is gone
Why did she go and leave me lost in yesterday?
It's gonna be alright.
It's gonna be O.K.
All I need is somebody to squeeze
To forget about yesterday. And I
Try (try, try) to forget her.
And I'm told
The sooner the better
Yesterdaze gone
Why did she go, where'd I go wrong?
Is it somethin' that I said
That made you walk away?
Yesterday is gone
Why did she go and leave me lost in yesterday?
Why did she go and leave me lost,
Why did she go and leave me lost, lost in yesterday?
Once upon a day, love walked away
Soon after, I would learn, only never to return
Feeling life was through,
like it was till you, saved me before I drowned,
put me up on dry ground
And I meant what I said, when I told you
I'll never love like this again
I wanna hold you, in my arms, wrap my legs around your pretty self
If only words could explain,
I'd sit and tell you now how I feel about everything
I'd never let you down, and you better believe, you can count on me
I couldnt ask for a better prayer
I'll never love like this again, oh no!
This love is real, so much I feel it so deep inside,
as though our hearts would syncronize
Now since you came and colored up my life
I'd never make it in black and white
although there's those shades of gray
You come around and go away
And I meant what I said, when I told you
I'll never love like this again
I wanna show you, your in my heart, in my soul, your all I want to know
If only words could explain,
I'd sit and tell you now how I feel about everything
I'd never let you down, and you better believe, you can count on me
What does it really mean
I'll never know for sure
To know what to believe
How to know what I'm feeling
I'm going to a place, I've never been before
I just can't help myself, can't help what I'm doing
SOLO
If only words could explain,
If only words could explain,
If only words could explain,
If only words could explain,
Did you think it wouldn't show, you're here with me, but I'm so alone
And now this house don't feel like home, I can't believe how much we've grown
So far apart, so far away, you just can't hide something as plain as day
I think it's safe to say, that's it's just no good
And I don't need you in my life, the way you cut me like a knife
You burned me once, but now that it's done, you'll never burn me twice
Now that it's all been said and done, do you like what you've become
Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed, and what a shame
I know you think you're always right, and just because, you've got God in your life
But he don't appreciate the way you lied, he can't believe how hard you tried
To take me down, to take it all, hanging around, and making sure I fall
Then say it was me to blame, and I was, for trusting someone like you anyways
And I don't need you in my life, the way you cut me like a knife
You burned me once, but now that it's done, you'll never burn me twice
Now that it's all been said and done, do you like what you've become
Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed, and what a shame
Now that it's all been said and done, do you like what you've become
Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed, and what a shame
And I don't need you in my life, the way you cut me like a knife
You burned me once, but now that it's done, you'll never burn me twice
Now that it's all been said and done, do you like what you've become
Now that it's all but over, you haven't changed, and what a shame
Now that it's all been said and done, do you like what you've become
(Lennon/McCartney)
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out
Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it out
(Keith, Wheat)
Oh time, when it goes on and on and on again
Like a drop in the rain, like a snowflake in the sun
Fallin' out of the sky on everyone
You and me, everybody, everyone, everybody you see
We travelled so long, seemed like forever
Never mattered just as long as we're together
I've travelled alone, you know it gets so, oh, oh no
The next time, and it goes on and on and over again
Like a drop in the rain, like a snowflake in the sun
Fallin' out of the sky on everyone
You and me, everybody, everyone, everybody you see
You know I've said it before
You're the only one that could make me feel better
I'm lonely, out here on my own
[Chorus:]
Try so hard - I try so hard to believe
Try so hard - do you believe in me
Try so hard - you know I try so hard, try some more, feelin' is believin'
[Chorus]
[Solo]
Now I've travelled so far, but not forever
Doesn't matter 'cos I know we'll be together
I'm singin' this song till I see you again
[Chorus 2x]
Try so hard - yes seein' is believin'
Try so hard - but feelin' is believin'
Try so hard - seein' is believin', feelin' is believin'
Try so hard - again
Try so hard - seein', seein' and feelin' is believin'
Time.
You've got to wake up ev'rybody,
Seven-thirty o'clock,
It's time to go to work.
A-send the young to school,
Gonna teach them the golden rule.
Talk about things that they don't wanna know about.
Now teacher, teacher, can't you see,
I'm tired and I need some sleep.
I don't wanna hear whatcha gotta say
About arithmetic or history.
All that jive don't mean a thing to me.
It's all a waste of time.
I ain't got no time for doin' this,
Ain't got no time for doin' that,
Ain't got no time for that at all, no!
I ain't got no time for messin' 'round,
For funky bullshit goin' down.
Just time for rock-n-roll. Oh yeah.
I just got time to rock-n-roll.
Why now, must they take my favorite song,
Turn around and say it's wrong, when I know it's right?
Now, why don't they just leave it alone,
'Cause it's only rock-n-roll, but I like it!!
Now, listen Mrs. Politician,
Don't ya try to tell me how to sing my song.
Tell me, who do you think you are?!
Who do you think you are?!
I ain't got no time for messin' 'round,
For funky bullshit goin' down.
No time for that at all, no!
I ain't got no time for Uncle Sam,
Taxin' my money, tax my land.
Just time for rock-n-roll, woh yeah!
I just got time to rock-n-roll!
(Keith, Luccketta, Skeoch, Hannon)
Doesn't matter who gets the best of who, or who can hurt who the most, no
It never was meant for it to be that way, never should be that way at all
[Chorus:]
The way it is, that's the way that it goes, happenin' day after day, yes
That's the way it is, that's the way that it goes
Workin' in the strangest ways
Even though we could never seem to work things out
I still love you just the same, I do
I miss your smile and that sparkle in your eyes
You're so beautiful, never change!
[Chorus]
What it is, and what it was, what shall be shall be, yeah
Sometimes it happens in the strangest ways
Sometimes it's hard to believe (do you believe?)
Do you believe, can you believe?
The way it is, that's the way that it goes
Workin' in the, workin' in the strangest ways
[Solo]
Now it really don't matter who, who gets the best of who
It never did and it never will, no
It never was meant for it to be that way, why must it be that way at all?
The way it is, that's the way that it goes, happenin' day after day, yeah yeah
That's the way it is, that's the way that it goes
Workin' in the, workin' in the strangest ways
That's the way it is, that's the way it is
That's the way it is, that's the way it goes, yeah
Yeah, that's the way it is, that's the way it goes
That's the way it is, that's the way it goes
I see it happen day after day, yeah, yeah
Now I'm workin' in the strangest ways
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Solo]
Can you believe, do you believe? Do you believe, can you believe?
That's the way it is, that's the way it is, yeah yeah yeah
That's the way it is, that's the way it goes, yes it do
Alright!
I see him there most ev'ry day,
A lonely man and his guitar.
In his eyes, I see the pain,
All the faces and the places,
All the trouble that he'd seen.
There was a time,
There was a day,
They'd come from miles around.
They all knew his name.
But day's gone by are gone,
Now only memories remain.
Then he starts to play.
Suddenly the pain slowly fades away.
Tattered, torn and frayed,
There's a place within his heart
He'll always save for the song and emotion.
Know he's got to his dyin' day.
Song and emotion.
You can hear him play.
You can still hear him say,
Better run for cover 'cause it looks like rain again!
And now his life is but a shadow of his dreams.
The calm is over, been stormin' for years.
He turns and leans his shoulder to the wind.
Lost again!
All along, on his way to the top,
Somehow, somewhere, something was lost.
Through it all he knew his only friend was
Song and emotion.
Know he's got to his dyin' day.
Song and emotion.
Where are they now, where are those people who promised him his dreams?
Where are they now for this lonely creature on the streets?
Broken, humbled by the cold reality.
Life at the top ain't always what it seems.
Oh, better run for cover, 'cause it looks like rain again.
You best be careful of what you dream,
Of what you dream!
Song and emotion.
Song and emotion.
Song and emotion.
And the sign says, "Long hair freaky people need not apply"
So I put my hair under my hat and I went in to ask him, why?
He said, "You look like a fine outstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat I said, "Imagine that, huh me working for you"
Oh, signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
And the sign says, "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight"
So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house
Eh, what gives you the right?
To put up a fence and keep me out or to keep mother nature in
If God was here He'd tell it to your face, man you're some kind of sinner
Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
Oh but say now, "Mister, can't you read?
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't watch, no you can't eat
You ain't supposed to be here"
And the sign says, "You gotta have a membership card
To get inside", uuh
And the sign says, "Everybody welcome, come in kneel down and pray
But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all
And I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said, "Thank you Lord for thinking about me, I'm alive and doing fine"
Signs, signs everywhere, there's signs
Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
Signs, signs everywhere, there's signs
Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind
All is well, as it could ever be
All is well, as it could ever be
All is well, as it could ever be
All is well, as it could ever, it could ask for
Me, I told myself that I'd get better, and I knew I would
But I said that a thousand times
Said the same in the letters that I wrote to you
Guess you thought it's that same old line
Ooh I know, but the rest of my soul it don't ever need a reason why
Told myself I'd get over it and over you, never will till the day I die
This won't take long, shouldn't take but a minute
I got you right here in my heart
It's only human, it's only natural, it's love or animal
There you are, so far away, but instead I got it right here in my face
Shine away, shine away, one look at you and I can see the light of day
Shine away, shine away, 'cos I'm afraid of what could happen
If you shine my way, don't you shine my way
Now that it's over, I ask myself the reason why
That [was in the time with you on my mind]
Told myself I'd forget about, forget you
Now it's changed it don't feel so right
Ooh I know, but the rest of my soul it don't ever need a reason why
Love you so and always will, love to love you even still
Now there you are, so far away, all the while I got it right here in my face
Shine away, shine away, one look at you and I can see the light of day
Shine away, shine away, 'cos I'm afraid of what could happen
If you shine my way
Shine away, shine away, I got somebody sittin' home, waitin' for me yeah
Shine away, shine away, you make it hard for somebody
Who don't want to play, and I want to play
[Solo]
I told myself that I'd get better, and I knew I would
But I said that ten thousand times
Said the same [if time don't make that call for you]
Guess you thought it's that same old line
This won't take long, shouldn't take but a minute
I got you right here in my heart
It's only human, it's only natural, it's love or animal
Now there you are, so far away, all the while I got it right here in my face
Shine away, shine away, one look at you and I can see the light of day
Shine away, shine away, 'cos I'm afraid of what could happen
If you shine my way
Shine away, shine away, I got somebody sittin' home and waitin' for me
Shine away, shine away, shine away, shine away, shine away
Yeah! Hot damn, shit
She want money, she want car, she want diamond ring
Wants it all, still want more, yeah she want everything
What next? Request a cheque? And I said shit man, to pay her credit card
Got nowhere to get, that's why she won't be gettin' far
I guess I got off lucky, I guess I got off cheap
I guess I got too goddamn tall and the hill it got too steep
The way I got to see it is the way it's got to be
I won't forget, never will regret, the day that she left me
She want she want - man, she took the best of me
She want she want - don't stand next to me
She want all, yeah she want all
She want she want - gave you the best of me
She want she want - couldn't mean less to me
She want all, you bet she want all - she want
Thought I knew what love was for, oh what did I know
Next thing and she was out the door, but I guess that's much better than
Dead on the floor
I was cruisin' down the lover's lane, called and said she cruised the avenue
I guess I got off easy, I guess I got off cheap
I guess I got too goddamn tall and she wasn't worth the keep
The way I got to see it is the way it's got to be
I won't forget, never will regret, the day she chose to leave
She want she want - makes such a mess of things
She want she want - still want everything
She want all, you bet she want all
She want she want - she want anything
She want she want - anything and everything
She want all, what does she want, she want, she want, she want all
[Solo]
What I needed was something new, that's what I really want
Hot damn, look at her, yeah she look at you, yeah she was really hot
I said, "Baby, you're everything I want", and she said
"You are everything that I want, too" - so the story goes
I guess I got off lucky, I guess I got off cheap
I guess I got too goddamn tall, wonder what you want of me
The way I got to see it is the way it's got to be
I won't forget, never will regret, the day you set me free
She want she want - don't mean a thing to me
She want she want - now she set me free
She want all, yeah she want all
She want she want - she can't bring me down
She want she want - don't let her come around
You should never take more than you can lend
Unless you wanna break you're gonna have to bend
Keep your mind at ease, your heart close at hand
The more you realize and the more you seem to understand
Ooh, will there be love to be made
Ooh, isn't it left anyway
I thought you was dyin' to love me, not to love on a shelf
Before you hurt somebody else you've got to help yourself
Ooh, are you ready today, you'd better be, 'cos there's hell to pay
[Chorus:]
All the lightning and thunder - out of hand
Ready or not, now tell me what's your plan
It gets to be all you can stand - rubberband
You got the [feels like] like a rubberband
I thought what was easy, well it turned into hell
Before I please somebody else I've got to please myself
I said ooh, is this a game that you play, it might as well be anyway
[Chorus]
[Solo]
All the lightning and thunder - out of hand
Ready or not, now tell me what's your plan
It gets to be all you can stand - rubberband
Just lay back just like a rubberband
Ready or not - what's your plan
Tell me what is your interest, show me where you stand
You're my release, your heart close at hand - rubberband
Bounce back just like a rubberband man
Rubberband, rubberband, rubberband, rubberband, rubberband
You got to bounce back, snap back, to the mouth if you can
In a world far from perfect
It's not always easy to connect
Where everything can be so complicated
I know that "simply, you're the best"
I don't want nobody else, I only want you
Wanna keep you for myself, it's selfish, but true
I don't want anything, to ever come between us
'Cause I don't want nobody else
In a world far from perfect...still
One never knows what to expect, so tell me
What will I do?
So hard to think of you as "dearly departed"
If only desperation could resurrect
'Cause I don't want nobody else, I only want you
Not some picture on a shelf, no...'cause that
Won't carry me through
How does debilitated, find the strength to
Make it through
'Cause I don't want nobody else, only you
Now I don't want nobody else, I only want you
And not some picture on a shelf, on no...
'Cause that won't carry me through
How does asphyxiated, ever find the breath to
Make it through
'Cause I don't want nobody else,
I don't want nobody else,
Miles Away
Such a heavy price to pay, all the time that I've spent missing home
And I try not to complain, but sometimes it won't leave me alone
And I think I know myself better than anyone else
Cause I'm me, I oughta know, what I want, what I need, what's inside of me
Maybe something that I took to get outta my head, or took for the thrill
The way I dress, the way that I look, or the way that I pay the bills
'Cause you're miles away, miles away, how could you be so wrong
'Cause you're miles away, miles away, how could you know the score
All eyes on the stage, all the glitter and glow
Move to the rhythm, wile striking a pose
Music and melody, and words to a poem
You think that you know me, you're not even close
Though I'm living out my dream, wasn't long 'til I figured it out
Nothing ever comes for free, even here on the merry-go-round
So you wanna take a ride, rollin', and living the life
'Cause you think I got it made, well, in case you don't know, my friend died today
And it's tearing me apart, if I knew what to say, don't know where to start
I reached down in my heart, and with paper an pen put it in a song
'Cause you're miles away, miles away, how could you be so wrong
'Cause you're miles away, miles away, how could you know the score
All eyes on the stage, all the glitter and glow
Move to the rhythm, wile striking a pose
Music and melody, and words to a poem
You think that you know me, you're not even close
The pages have burned but they're written in stone
Now, what will become of us, nobody knows
And the wheel keeps on turning, I rise and I fall
And I try to get back, but I'm lost in it all
And I look all around, and I see that it's gone
You're miles away, miles away
Yeah, you're miles away, yeah, you're miles away
(Keith, Hannon)
Out on the road, and a long long way from home
Why must I be so, must I be so misunderstood
While my intentions, my intentions all are good
Wish only one time that things would turn out like they should
Just like they should
Too many times, too many times payin' the price, just for the thrill
Too many hearts, too many times, overkill
So many times, double around, how many faces do reveal
How many folks gettin' to be over the hill
She always told me things, like those weren't made of sugar and spice
She always scolded me, "Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, Lord I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - well I've just been fooled again
Too many lies, shame on the wives, too many cakes and eat it too
Too many hearts goin' straight down the tube
Hell of a dude, did it but don't have the time and the words for use
Too many rounds, too many times, overuse
She's always telling me, "Just take your time, always think twice"
Forever scolding me, "Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, hell I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool - she did not raise a fool
Mama I ain't no fool
Oh, let me tell you if it happens again like it did next time
Somebody's gonna have to walk the line, walk the line!
[Solo]
She's always telling me, "Take my advice boy and just think twice"
Forever scolding me, "Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, Lord I won't be fooled again
Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again
Mama she ain't no fool - I may be crazy but I ain't no fool
Mama you crazy fool - may be crazy but I ain't no fool
Crazy but I ain't no fool, may be crazy, I may be crazy
Crazy but I ain't no fool
Now, I don't wanna waste your time,
I only want to satisfy.
So wind me up and watch me go,
I'm gettin' crazy as the night unfolds.
Gimme, gimme what I want,
Keep it up now, don't stop,
And I will do the same for you.
I'm gonna take it over the top.
What you see ain't what you get,
There's more than meets the eye.
'Cause you ain't seen nothin' yet.
It's up to us, me and you,
Together we can fly high, high.
I got you, now you got me.
Feels so good to be
Makin' magic, makin' magic,
It ain't no mystery. Come on!
Get down, way down low.
C'mon let's get on with the show.
And let the music set you free.
Like a leaf in the wind, let it be.
Gimme what I need to satisfy
This dirty one-track mind.
You know I ain't got nothin' but time
To burn with you tonight.
Now anything you see is everything you get
At your desire.
I know it's makin' you hot and know it's soakin' me wet.
Higher and higher, feedin' the fire,
Let it burn.
He's got her and she's hot and you got me.
Don't it taste so sweet!
Makin' magic, makin' magic,
It ain't no mystery.
Now, when I get into you, get into me.
The rest is history.
Makin' magic, makin' magic,
Let's get it together. C'mon.
Ready, get set, just like one two and three!
Now it's taking me away to that magical land.
Many will search and never find what's yours and mine.
You got me burnin' hot, now you're soakin' me wet.
Even better thana lick and a kiss.
Makin' magic, makin' magic,
It ain't no mystery.
Now, you think you've seen it all.
You ain't seen nothin' yet.
It sure beats the rest.
Makin' magic, makin' magic,
It's day and I'm feelin' high, what's the chances for you and I
I've got a love on my mind, lovin's on my mind
Now take me, lay me down, show me what you're all about
If you got the time, I wanna make you mine
'Cos you've got everything I want, baby you're all I need
I want you to gimme your love, give it all to me
[Chorus:]
You've got to love me, c'mon, baby love me
Oh set me free, oh woman set me free
You've got to love me, c'mon, baby love me
Oh let me be, oh woman let me be
I've got this feelin' that I just can't help, want you baby all to myself
Do you got the time, I wanna make you mine
I'll be your only, woman, only love
Come on baby, give it to me, yeah, oh, give it to me
'Cos you are everything I want, baby you're all I need
I want you to gimme your love, give it all to me
[Chorus]
Time was waitin' for me, an hour due
'Cos I make her swear, she couldn't think I'd wanted to
You've got to give me some kind of a sign
Girl, let me know, if you're gonna be all mine
Come on, come on, come on, baby give it to me
[Solo]
Oh, you are everything I want, baby you're all I need
I want you to gimme your love, give it all to me
Come on, give it all, give it all, give it all
You've got to love me, come on, love me
Oh set me free, oh woman set me free
You've got to love me, c'mon, baby love me
Oh set me free, oh woman set me free
Love me, love me, come on baby, I need your lovin'
You've got to love me, c'mon, baby love me
You got to give me, got to give me, got to give me everything I need
Well i'd never break your heart, now tell me would you break mine
Re-wind and clean the slate, wipe away the hard times
Well i never did forsake you, and i never would
I got away from the common ground, just because i could
There was a shadow, following me around
Somehow i lost my way, that was then, take a look at me now
Chorus
For everything in life, there is a reason
Sometimes the reason i do, make it not so good
Verse 2
Seems like all that time away took me one step closer to my suicide
Spun around like i jus got played, all caught with the users and the crucified
A shining example of what you never wana be
The fame of teachers drowning in a wishing well
With no apology
Me and my shadow, no-body else around, somehow i lost my way, that was then take a look at me now
Chorus
Short Verse
Feels like the time is right for getting back to even
You are the reason i do, aint that enough for you!
Chorus
Short Verse
Feels like the time is right for getting back to even
You are the reason i do, aint that enough for you
Aint that enough for you
You are the reason i do
Aint that enough for you
Tell me why there so much pain today
'Cause taking lives is for the gain or so they say
I can't believe it but they feel this way
And that's the way of the world
Tell me why it takes a tragedy to see
To wake us up and bring us down on to our knees
With all the people suffering with diseases
And that the way
That's the way
That's the way of the world
As the world crashes down
Heaven's looking better everyday
As the sun burns the ground
There's got to be another way
As I die looking down
I get to feel everybody's pain
As the world crashes down
Heaven's looking better every day
Teach the children what means to love
Show them why that we can never give enough
Let's work together we can rise above
And change the ways
Change the ways
Change the ways of the world
As the world crashes down
Heavens looking better everyday
As the sky turns so brown
There's got to be another way
As I die looking down
I get to feel everybody's pain
As the world crashes down
Heavens looking better every day
(Hey)
As the world crashes down
Heaven's looking better everyday
As the sun burns the ground
There's got to be another way
As I die looking down
I get to feel every body's pain
As the world crashes down
Heaven's looking better every day
As the world crashes down
Heaven's looking better everyday
As the sky turns the ground
There's got to be another way
As I die looking down
I get to feel everybody's pain
As the world crashes down
Took a shot to the chin.
Looks like you just can't win
In this do or die situation.
And it's harder than it seems
To survive, keep alive and make your dreams,
Make your dreams all come true.
You gotta, you gotta give it your best shot.
Give it ev'rything you got.
Oh, you gotta hang tough.
Hang tough. Hang tough.
Sometimes love can make you blue.
A heartache made just for you.
But you can't let it bring ya down.
If you should stumble, if you should fall,
Pick yourself up off the floor.
Fight for what's right and stand your ground.
You gotta give it your best shot.
Give it ev'rything you got.
Oh, you gotta hang tough.
Hang tough. Hang tough.
When the goin' gets rough.
Hang tough. You got to give it all you've got.
Hang tough. Keep your head above the ground.
Don't you let it get you down.
Oh, you gotta hang tough.
Hey! Oh! Hey! Oh!
You stay locked away inside your room
'Cause you don't know what this world is comin' to.
Hummingbird hums 'cause he don't know the words
And the piper will play 'cause he don't know what to say.
He's alot like you, yeah. Oh, he's alot like you, yeah.
He tries hard ev'ry day to be free and fly away. Yeah!
Hang tough, oh, when the goin' gets rough.
Hang tough. You've got to give it all you got.
Hang tough. Keep your head above the ground.
Don't you let it get you down.
Oh, you gotta hang tough.
Hang tough. Oh, you got to give it all you got. You gotta
Hang tough. Don't you let it get you down.
Hang tough. No! Oh, you gotta hang tough.
Hang tough.
Me and the boys are gonna rock tonite.
Drinkin' double shots, feelin fine. Mmmm, I like it!
I like the way, the way it makes me feel.
Now, I'm in love witcha, Lady Mary Jane.
You put my mind at ease, make me feel no pain.
Keep takin' me, keep takin' me higher, well, and higher.
Light my fire!
Ain't it funny?
'Cause the more I drink, the more I smoke, well, the better she looks.
And, honey, that's a whole lot better, whole lot better than before.
Lord! 'Cause you look so good. Yes, you look so fine.
Let's steal away and blow each other's minds.
Come on, baby. Keep takin' me higher. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and higher!
[Chorus:]
I've had enough!
Ah, maybe too, too much.
And with a little luck,
You know I'll get back up
On my feet again.
Ah, too much!
Too much to drink, too much to smoke.
I wasn't lookin' when it took a hold on me.
And it sure got a hold on me.
Oh, and it won't let go. Oh no.
I've never been this far before.
Have I reached the point, the point of no return?
When will I learn?
[Chorus 2x]
I've had enough!
I've had enough!
Ah, maybe too, too much.
All the games people play now
Every night, every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean
While they while away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Oh, we make one another cry
Breakin' hearts when we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
Except the other was to blame
Either one will ever kill it
So we gaze and we make pretend
Thinkin' 'bout things that might have been
Oww, it's a dirty rotten shame
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people play
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people play
People walkin' up to ya
Singin', "Glory Hallelujah"
Sayin', "What the hell's it to ya?
If we do it in the name of the Lord"
We're gonna teach you how to meditate
Preach our hearts from teacher's faith
Put them on a hell of hate
Come on, let's get on board
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people play
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people play
[Incomprehensible]
Look around, tell me what you see
What's happenin' to you and me
Got burning my serenity
To remember who I am
'Cos you're givin' up your sanity
Or your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
Oww, when you don't give a damn, not a damn
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people play
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout everybody, talkin' 'bout you
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
(Oh, you and me, you and me)
(I'm talkin' 'bout the games, the games we all play)
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
(Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee)
(All the games, talkin' bout the games people play)
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
I pledge no allegiance to your flag.
I feel I got me some damn good reasons for feelin' bad.
Way they take away ev'ry mother's son,
If you want freedom now, it's got to be won.
It's only bullets. It's just a gun.
Ain't gon' hurt no one.
I don't know what they must be thinkin'.
Makin' decisions on a hard night's drinkin'.
Momma, gon' take your little boy.
Gonna make him 'to a man,
Make him a stranger in a strange land.
[Chorus:]
Freedom slaves
What have you done
Freedom slaves
With ev'ry mother's son?
Freedom slaves
Can't ya see that we're all freedom slaves?
Freedom slaves
What have you done?
Freedom slaves
And all for number one.
Freedom slaves
It's clear to see that we're all freedom slaves.
No sign of justice nor liberty
By takin' an Indian Nation, 'cause they was all that we wanted to be.
All good people from the Kingdom of the Sun.
Welcome to freedom. Now, there's work to be done.
It's only natural to know it's wrong.
Why did it go so long?
I don't know what next they'll be killin',
Rapin' the land with pollution and spillin'.
Here's to the tired, to the hungry, to the helpless and the poor.
Is there no glory for blisters and sores?
[Chorus]
Who are those people?
So patriotically sittin' back of tables
POn their asses, lickin' labels, tryin' to change me.
You'd think the way they act, the way they carry on,
You'd think that I was the devil's Seventh Son.
But it's only words. It's just a song.
Ain't gonna hurt no one.
[Chorus]
Freedom slaves.
Freedom slaves.
Freedom slaves.
Attention!
About Face!
March!
Left, right, left, right, left, right.
Look at me, I'm young and bold.
Even though I may be growin' old,
I'm never slowin' down.
No, I won't slow down.
I feel like dynamite, I'm ready to explode.
Amplifier pushin' overload.
Outta touch with reality
To the point of insanity, yeah.
Goin' down on a flight to nowhere.
Goin' down, gettin' nowhere fast.
Goin' down, I'm on a flight to nowhere.
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down.
Opinion is a piece of mind.
Some are good, some are just like
Where the sun don't shine.
You know sometimes they can [stink] out loud, yeah.
Now, the more you look, the more you're gonna find.
More than enough to blow your mind.
It's such a mess, it's a cryin' shame.
And we've only got ourselves to blame.
Goin' down on a flight to nowhere.
Goin' down, gettin' nowhere fast.
Goin' down, I'm on a flight to nowhere.
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down.
So just stop, let me off.
Seems that I can't get my point across to you.
I know you're listening,
But I'm just not getting through, yeah, yeah.
Now there's one more thing I would like to say:
This is everybody's world and everybody's
Gonna live it their own way,
No matter what we say, yeah!
Now the headlines read all across the land
'Bout the motherfuckers gettin' way outta hand.
Troubled minds are full of hate,
Willin' to destroy the human race.
Goin' down, I'm on a flight to nowhere.
Goin' down, gettin' nowhere fast.
I'm goin' down, I'm on a flight to nowhere.
Goin' down, gettin' nowhere fast.
Goin' down, on a flight to nowhere.
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down.
Goin' down, I'm on a flight to nowhere.
Another song about nothing feels right
And everything is going wrong
Seems we've been here once before
Whose fault and who's to blame
Doesn't really matter nothing's ever gonna change
It's not working any more
I'm trying so hard to not let go
I'm trying to let you know
Chorus]
Now I'm falling apart all over again
All I got to do is keep on hanging on
Love is breaking my heart
And love will bend
All I got to do is hang on
You know what's sad
We're losing everything that we always thought we'd have
But that's the way it's got to be
Who knows and who's to say
There's nothing left to do but just turn and walk away
Never thought I'd ever leave
I'm trying so hard to not let go
I'm trying to let you know
[Chorus]
Now I'm falling apart all over again
All I got to do is keep on hanging on
Love is breaking my heart
And love will bend
All I got to do is hang on
[Bridge]
I always thought we'd be together
Oh, yea
I always thought that we'd belong
Oh, yea
I always thought we'd last forever
And I thought that we would never
Ever let it go so wrong
[Chorus]
Hang on
Hang on
(Keith, Skeoch, Hannon, Wheat, Luccketta)
You had it right in the palm of your hand, right before your eyes
Now it's gone and you don't understand, you've got to realize
There comes a time when you've got to let things go as fast as they come
Wait and see what tomorrow may bring you, get it all while you can
Sometimes it just feels so right, and other times so wrong
Every new day it brings on the night, the change goes on and on and on and on
It never stops, no it keeps on rollin', wiped away like an [arch of] sand
Here it comes, there it goes, always changin' ends
Ez come ez go, ez come ez go, that's what they call it
Ez come ez go, ez come ez go, oh no!
[Solo]
Ez come ez go, ez come ez go, oh, you know that's what they call it
Ez come ez go, ez come ez go, oh whoa!
You're guilty of crime in the first degree,
Second and third as well.
My jury finds you'll be serving your time
When you go straight to hell.
'Cause he was Lord of the Lightning,
Though "socially fright'ning",
But never out to sell.
Their nickels and pence
Meant more than did sense,
And not the sensible thing.
Nor did the man outta time, man outta time.
Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind.
Man outta time, man outta time.
All along, world was wrong. You was right.
All that he saw, all he conceived,
They just could not believe.
Steinmetz and Twain were friends that remained,
Along with number three.
He was electromagnetic, completely kinetic,
"New Wizard of the West."
But they swindled and whined that he wasn't our kind,
And said Edison knew best.
He was the man outta time, man outta time.
Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind.
Man outta time, man outta time.
Said you was outta your mind!
You took a shot and it did you in.
Edison's medicine.
You played your cards, but you couldn't win.
Edison's medicine.
I spent twelve years of hard time,
More like the best years of my life.
Never heard or read a single word
About "the man" and his "wicked mind."
They'll sell you on Marconi.
Familiar, but a phony.
Story goes they sold their souls
And swore that you'd never know...
About the man outta time, man outta time.
Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind.
Man outta time, man outta time.
Swore you was outta your mind!
You took a shot and it did you in.
Edison's medicine.
You played your cards, but you couldn't win.
Now I know why the man on the moon
Won't show his face, I wouldn't if I was you
Go running high, think it's better you do
Playin' no hide and seek, keekaboo
If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for me
Where in the world, where in the world would this world be
Why do we lie, till [our face is hot and] blue
How can I rely, countin' on you
No I don't mind, long as it's true
You got the old in with the new
It wasn't working for you, it wasn't working for me
So how in the world could we stand and watch while this world bleeds
One more day, could be all it takes, to burn this damn place to the ground
Down to the seeds
One more change, we're gonna rip this entire place
Up off the earth and split the seeds - except for you and me
Why don't we cry, instead of laugh in the face
How can we deny we're destroying this place
No I'm not fine - with what?
If it wasn't for trust, peace and harmony
If it wasn't for love, tell me where in the world would this world be
One more day, we might rip this entire place
Up off the earth and split the seeds - burstin' in two
One more change, we're gonna take each entire race
Turn it all around and split the seeds
[Solo]
If it wasn't for land, if it wasn't for see
All the trees, all the ocean, all the air we breathe
If it wasn't for life and all of us
Now tell me where would this world be, yeah
One more day, could be all it takes, to burn this damn place to the ground
Down to the seeds
One more change, we're gonna take each entire race
Turn it all around and split the seeds - except for you and me
One more day, may rip this entire place
Up off the earth and split the seeds - bursting in two
One of these days, just watch and see, the [blues] is gonna show it's face
Any day at all, any time, any way it take me to make you mine
I would give it all, give it all and more
Give you more than you could ever want from me
If anything they say is true, you gotta have 'em, if you wanna sing the blues
'Cos some nights, there ain't nothing I can do, but
Cry, cry an ocean
No use tryin' to hide what's slowly dying in me, what's slowly dying in me
Now I will confess, was no second guess
With all your love you left to me, it was a mess
Once there was a time, was no compromising
You [left so life can't do possess]
If anything they say is true, what goes around will be coming to you, I know
Some night, there'll be nothing you can do, but
Cry, cry an ocean
No use trying to hide what's slowly dying in me
Cry, do you feel that it's over
What you may fear is still alive, it's slowly dying in me
I cried, guess you're crying now
(I'm blind to the end, I cried...)
Tried to be everything I could, for you, from me, all I could be
Tried to be everything I could, for you, from me, all I could be
Tried, tried to be everywhere I could, for you, cried out my eyes for you
For you
[Solo]
Take no bad talk, I ain't a toy, I won't be somebody's boy
My heart ain't [chasin'] no game and if I do play, I'm takin' my time
Take no bad talk (I take no), take no bad talk (ah, hell no)
I won't be your boy, ain't gonna be a toy
If anything they say is true, anytime it should be coming for you
Cry, cry an ocean
No use trying to hide what's deep inside of me
You can cry, do you feel that it's over
You can come around
And I will help find a way
If somethin’s got you down
Just one of those days
That you find you are caught in the middle
Feelin’ like there aint no way out
And it hurts you more than just a little
Got your head all full of doubts
I’ll be your shelter from the rain
Until it’s time to swim
Be there to help you share the pain
While never givin’ in
We’ll keep it unconditional
Chorus:
Come to me
If you need some one
And you’re lookin’ for some company
Come to me
And I’ll be there
Aint nothing like a friend
No matter what you do
Who’s always there till the end
It’s like you got nothing to lose
What about getting lost in the shuffle
Locked out when you’re wantin’ in
Got caught gettin’ caught in the struggle
Knock you down - I’ll pick you up again
Long days and lonely nights
Long nights and lonely days
I may not get it right
But I’ll help you find a way
We’ll take it all day by day
Come to me
If you need some one
And you’re lookin’ for some company
If you need some one
Know that you can count on me
If you need some one
Know that you can come to me
If somethin’ bursted your bubble
Oh baby, your fortress has crumbled
Well there aint nothing’ wrong with bein’ humble
Cause humble is good for your soul
We all need…everybody needs
Someone to hold
You can come around
I will help find away
If somethin’s got you down
Just one of those days
Long days and lonely nights
Long nights and lonely days
May not get it right but I’ll help get it right
Take it day by day
We're the younger generation,
And we're here to face the day.
Heard all across the nation,
And we got so much to say.
Ready for a change,
Ready for a change in the weather. Ooh, yeah!
We will keep the fire burnin'
And this big wheel will keep spinnin'
'round and 'round, and around. Yeah!
We're the children of the sixties.
Watched the seventies go bye.
Now, we made it through the eighties.
My, my how time does fly
Just around the corner is a brand new century
Now we'll keep the fire burnin'
And this old world will keep spinnin'
'round and 'round, and around.
Yes we'll keep the fire burnin'
And this old world will keep turnin'
'round and 'round, and around.
A-turnin' 'round and 'round, yeah.
I think we're ready for a change in the weather.
I think we're ready for a change of scene.
Ready for a change in the weather.
I'm ready for a change for you and me. Ah yeah, yeah. Ooh.
Really do, I think we're ready for a change in the weather.
I think we're ready for a change of scene.
Ready for a change in the weather.
I'm ready for a change, change, change for you and me.
I think we're ready for a change in the weather.
I think we're ready for a change of scene.
Ready for a change in the weather.
I'm ready for a change for you and me!
Just around the corner, oh, is a brand new century.
I'm waitin'.
I'm ready!
(We're ready!)
Now, if you can imagine this, the whole world sharing one big kiss
These are thoughts all through my brain, that I daydream everyday
That I'm alive and well, and right now, I'm alive, I'm feeling...well
It's my life to live my way, so I'll keep daydreaming away
And who knows, maybe someday, it will all come true
And I will get my way, and we will live as one.
I'm caught up in a dream, I'm gonna wish for it all
No one's gonna tell me how, no way, this is my dream now
I'm caught up in what seems simply impossible
I ain't gonna change a thing, no way, it's my dream
And what cannot will be done, for every living thing under the sun
Forget color, forget race, and just be one big happy face
Among this sea of people, live among God's creatures, sharing love
That was sent down from above, here to share with one another Father, Brother, Sister Mother everybody sharing love, sharing love
I'm caught up in a dream, I'm gonna wish for it all
No one's gonna tell me how, no way, this is my dream now
I'm caught up in what seems simply impossible
I ain't gonna change a thing, no way, it's my dream
What if...I close my eyes and everything will be alright
Here in my fantasy, living in harmony
Make my dream come aliveI'm caught up in a dream, I'm gonna wish for it all
No one's gonna tell me how, no way, this is my dream now
I'm caught up in what seems simply impossible
I ain't gonna change a thing, no way, it's my dreamI'm caught up in a dream, I'm gonna wish for it all
No one's gonna tell me how, no way, this is my dream now
I'm caught up in what seems simply impossible
I ain't gonna change a thing, no way, it's my dream
Now if you can imagine this, the whole world sharing one big kiss
Take away the pain and hurt, make life heaven here on earth
I'm in love with a lady and I know
The lady's in love with me.
And she knows that I'll always be there.
That's why she's a-willin' and ready.
But now and then, ev'ry once in a while
Something inside of me, maybe inside of her.
Have you ever had one of those days when it all is going wrong?
And it just can't seem to get along.
But through it all you know you're gonna make it.
Call it true love, call it not meant to be.
You can call it anything at all, ya see.
Call it what you want.
It's all the same to me.
Music means alot to me.
Like love I make it when I can.
All I am is all I'll ever be,
And that's just a boy from Texarkana.
But now and then, Oh, but once in a while,
They start treatin' me like some kinda superstar.
Need I mention at the end of the day what matters most of all.
It's not where you're at, but where you're comin' from.
When all is said and done.
You can call it...
Heavy metal, hard-core, punk, pop, or thrash.
You can call it anything it don't matter to me.
Call it what you want.
It's all music to me.
Call it communism, call it free.
Some call the ocean what some call the sea.
Call it what you want.
It doesn't change a thing for me. Not a thing.
Baby's lyin' in a cradle.
Universe is all within its reach.
Wearin' rags or mink and sable.
Needs a guiding hand or it's out on the street.
Now, momma's out, she's never at home.
Daddy's takin' care of business, he's out on the road.
It's rainin' cats and dogs.
But the child within us all must face the storm.
Call it individuality.
Some call it fate, others reality.
Call it what you want.
It doesn't matter to me.
Call it communism, call it free.
Some call the ocean what some call the sea.
Call it what you want.
She comes on softly as she moves across the room before me
I can't resist, I'm hypnotized, I'm surrounded by her
I can't, I can't forget that face, and I will, I will go back to that place
She stands before my eyes, right before my eyes
I can see the colours are coming one after another for me
I see the words, I hear the sound, going round in my head
But I know there's something out there, please tell me, is this reality
Right before my eyes, right before my eyes
[Solo]
She comes on softly as she moves across the room before me
I can't resist, I'm hypnotized
I can see the colours are coming one after another for me
I see an image of myself
Before my eyes, right before my eyes
Before my eyes, before my eyes
That was nice, whoo! Typical nice, right Philadelphia? Right?
Yeah, I mean, you know (can you turn on the air conditioning, please?)
Can you turn on the air conditioner, please? It's fuckin' hot!
Turn on the air conditioner, or these people are gonna kill you!
Wait a minute, here. Oh! Oh, hey! (Oh, hey, we got a...)
Oh, Brian, you tried to give this play bass, didn't you, oh, hell no
Let's go jam a little Ebony and Ivory
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the... well, we don't know that song
But, anyway, right, we got mr. Brian Wheat...
Thank you, that's just what I was... oh, and old Ted Tulsa hat
Well shit, goddamn, hell-puh - alright!
And anyway, we got mr. Brian Wheat on the piano for ya on this one and
It's a tune of our second album (hit it!)
Hey! yeah, yeah. Uh huh.
Bustin' ass all day
Just to put food on the table.
And I always will for as long as I am able.
Done all I could,
Ev'rything that a man should do.
Still they refuse to call me,
Call me what I am. Hey!
Do you know what it takes to be a man?
Don't take a whole lots of money,
Diamond rings upon your hand, no.
That ain't what it takes to be a man.
Do right by the ones you love,
Always give a helpin' hand. Yes, I do.
Now I've been through it all
Seen the good, the bad, the ugly.
Always take care of my share of responsibilities.
Now, just because I grow my hair
And play in a rockin' band,
Old folks are always telling me,
"Boy, why don't you grow up
And be a man." Hey!
I know what it takes to be a man.
It ain't the way you look
Or the clothes that you wear.
That ain't what it takes to be a man.
Do right by the ones you love,
Always lend a helpin' hand.
I know I got what it takes,
I know I got what it takes to be a man.
So go ahead and say what you will.
Because I know what I am,
Just what I am. Ow!
Alright. Ow! Hey!
I know what it takes to be a man.
I've got what it takes
And you know I know what I am.
I know what it takes to be a man.
So go ahead, say what you will
'Cause I know what I am.
I'm a man.
Hoo hoo hoo hoo. I'm a man.
I know I got what it takes,
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
People moving out, people moving in
Why? Because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run but you sure can't hide
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and I'll set you free
Rap on, brother, rap on
Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to my nation
Ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Woo, hey, hey
The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
The cities ablaze in the summer time
And oh, the beat goes on
Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything
And the band played on
So, round and around and around we go
Where the world's headed, said nobody knows
Oh, great Googamooga
Can't you hear me talking to you?
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Woo, hey, hey
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record's a gas
And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation
And the band played on
Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors
Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills
Hippies moving to the hills, people all over the world are shouting
'End the war' and the band played on
Great Googamooga
Can't you hear me talking to you?
It's a ball of confusion
That's what the world is today, hey, hey
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya
Sayin' ball of confusion
That's what the world is today, hey, hey
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya
(Keith, Hannon, Wheat)
I thought I saw the light, was it real or something I'm imagining
I thought I saw the light, if it was then tell me, did you see it too
Did you see the light, if you did now tell me, could you feel it too
Hey I saw the light, yeah tell me that you saw the light
I don't know why I even do it, all I know is I'm so glad
We always make it through it, one way or another
We're gonna make it or break
I got alot of love for you, I guess that means I got alot to lose
I got alot of love for you and only you
I don't know how we even do it, all I know is I'm so glad
We always make it through it, one more time now baby
Got me two times a wife, just like my mother
She's there to love and understand
Got me two times a wife, she really does have a touch just like no other hands
The sparkle in my eye, too many times I left her there alone at night
The way you light up my life, yeah your love is two times as nice
I don't know how we make it through it, all I know is I'm so glad
We always seem to do it, one way or another
We're gonna make it or break
I got alot of love for you, I guess that means I got alot to lose
I got alot of love for you and only you
I got alot of love for you, I do, and that's the way it should be
I don't know why we even do it, all I know is I'm so glad
We always make it through it, one more time now friend
[Solo]
I got alot of love for you, I guess that means I got alot to lose
I got alot of love for you and only you and nobody else but you
I got alot of love for you, I guess that means I got alot to lose
I got alot of love for you and only you and no one else but you my friend
Oh, nobody else but you my friend
(I got a lot of love for you) I got a lot, I got a lot, a lot of love for you
Hey, what's the deal man, don't it feel like something's goin' on
What's goin' down what's goin' around, and I'm gonna get some
What's this I see, a familiar face, and it's coming my way
I said I don't know who it is, it might be you and this just might be my day
Action talks - now action talks and bullshit walks
Action talks - you got something to say
Action talks - start talking, or get your walking
Action talks - start making your move on me-yeah-yeah
Sure was not nice, but wasn't going right, forget the consequences
Let's work it out instead of workin' out
We'll work it over till we get it right
What's this I need, now what's this I like, it came, you sent it my way
Till I realized all the innocent lies, it was gonna take my heart outta me
Action talks - now action talks and bullshit walks
Action talks - we got something to say
Action talks - nobody talkin', ain't no one walkin'
Action talks - no use in puttin' the blame on yesterday
[Solo]
So here's the deal, it looks like it feels, they got it goin' on
They know it's going down what's going around, while we're waiting, how come
So the queen don't get to lose the president
Don't hear a word they say (fuck you!)
They come together as one and maybe get the job done
Instead of blaming yesterday
Action talks - action talks and bullshit walks
Action talks - you got something to say
Action talks - no use in cryin', no use in runnin'
Action talks - no use in puttin' the blame on yesterday
Action talks - no blamin' yesterday, say what you mean
Say what you mean (oh talk to me, talk, talk)
Say what you mean (just talk to me), say what you mean
Start talkin', start talkin', start talkin'
Say what you mean, you got a lot to say, you got a lot to say
Say what you mean, nobody's stoppin' you, nobody's stoppin' you
One two three four!
I can't believe this fucked up world in which we're livin' in
Still I do the best that I can
Always got me on the lookout for a getaway
Runnin' hard, I'm a rock 'n' roll man
I know we can make it (and go, said that) all you gotta do is sign
Tellin' you all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
Chorus:
Too late for love - baby it's too late
Too late for love - girl I gotta say
That it's you, I know, that makes me feel this way
Don't you know that it's too late for love
Foolish hearts gettin' caught up in a lover's game
That's the way some want it to be
Now all I need is someone, just to get me through the night
Any more is too much for me
I know we can make it (and go, said that) all you gotta do is sign
Tellin' you all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll
Chorus:
Oh baby it's too late, too late for love, too late, oh yeah
Too late for love, oh baby baby, it's too late for love
Too late for love, oh, I tell ya, it's too late for love
'Cos all I need is someone standin' by my side
I don't care if I have to see you cry
Two feet's they come a creepin'
Like a black cat do
And two bodies are layin' naked
A creeper think he got nothin' to lose
So he creeps into this house, yeah
And unlocks the door
And as a man's reachin' for his trousers
He shoots him full of .38 holes
Mr. Saturday Night Special
Got a barrel that's blue and cold
That ain't no good for nothin'
But put a man six feet in a hole
Big Jim's been drinkin' whiskey
And playing poker on a losin' night
And pretty soon, ole Jim starts a thinkin'
Somebody been cheatin' and lyin'
So Big Jim commenced to fightin'
I wouldn't tell you no lie
And Big Jim done pulled his pistol
And shot his friend right between the eyes
Mr. Saturday Night Special
Got a barrel that's blue and cold
That ain't no good for nothin'
But put a man six feet in a hole
Oh, and it's a Saturday Night Special
And for twenty dollars you can buy yourself one too
Oh, let me tell you all about
Hand guns are made for killin'
They ain't no good for nothin' else
And if you like to drink your whiskey
You might even shoot yourself
So why don't we dump 'em people
To the bottom of the sea
Before some old fool come around here
And wanna shoot either you or me
Oh, Mr. Saturday Night Special
You got a barrel that's blue and cold
That ain't no good for nothin'
But put a man six feet in a hole
Oh, and it's a Saturday Night Special
I'd like to tell you what you could do with it too
Oh yeah, it's a Saturday Night Special
I like music it makes me feel so good
And all of my children are gunna like it like they
should
Some don't like it yes it's true
They can do what they wanna do
Don't be afraid
Don't wanna hurt you
You're not to blame
Someone before you
Didn't take time
Ta teach ya ta love me
Well my my my dear
And I love you
Pump that gas, dig that hole in the ground
Saturday night woke everybody in town

Sing my song so peacefully
I like music it makes me feel so good
And all of my children are gunna like it like they
should
Some don't like it yes it's true
They can do what they wanna do
Don't be afraid
Don't wanna hurt you
You're not to blame
Someone before you
Didn't take time
Ta teach ya ta love me
Well my my my dear
And I love you
Pump that gas, dig that hole in the ground
Saturday night woke everybody in town
make my music talk to me
You sheltered me from harm.
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.
You taught me how to love,
What its of, what its of.
You never said too much,
But still you showed the way,
And I knew from watching you.
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that cant let go.
I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.
Is there someone you know,
Youre loving them so,
But taking them all for granted.
You may lose them one day,
Someone takes them away,
And they dont hear the words you long to say
I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Anybody here see the noise
See the fear and commotion?
I think we missed it
Anybody here see the love
See the hate, being motioned?
Don't give me no hand me down shoes
Don't give me no hand me down love
Don't give me no hand me down world
Got one already
Anybody here see the long distance cheer
For the notion? I think we missed it
Anybody here see
The sky weeping tears, for the ocean?
Don't give me no hand me down shoes
Don't give me no hand me down love
Don't give me no hand me down world
Got one already
Anybody here see the fuzzy-wuzzly
Loving cup explosion? I think we missed it
Anybody here see the changing
Of the year-end emotion?
Don't give me no hand me down shoes
Don't give me no hand me down love
Don't give me no hand me down world
Got one already
Don't give me no hand me down world
Don't give me no hand me down world
Don't give me no hand me down world
Takin' my time
Choosin' my lines
Try'n' to decide what to do
Looks like my stop
Don't wanna get off
Got myself hung up on you
Seems to me
You don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away
Places I've known
Things that I'm growin'
Don't taste the same without you
I got my self in
The worst mess I've been
And I find myself starvin' without you
Seems to me
Talk all night here comes the mornin'
Seems to me
You just forget what we said and greet the day
I've got to cool myself down
Stompin' around
Thinkin' some words I can't name ya
Meet you half way
Got nothing to say
Still I don't s'ppose I can blame ya
Seems to me
You don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me
I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside, oh yeah
Oh, yeah, that's right
I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide, oh no no
oh no, oh no
Yeah, yeah
I've got a feeling, yeah
Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train
Oh yeah yeah oh yeah
And if you leave me, I won't be late again
oh no, oh no, oh no
yeah, yeah
I've got a feeling, yeah
I've got a feeling
All these years I've been wandering around
wondering how come nobody told me
All that I was looking for was somebody
who looked like you
I've got a feeling that keeps me on my toes
oh yeah, oh yeah
I've got a feeling that everybody knows
oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
yeah, yeah
I have hot a feeling, yeah
Yeah
Everybody had a hard year
Everybody had a good time
Everybody had a wet dream
Everybody saw the sun shine
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Everybody had a good year
Everybody let their hair down
Everybody pulled their socks up
Everybody put their foot down
oh yeah
Everybody had a good year
Everybody had a hard time
Everybody had a wet dream
Everybody saw the sun shine
Everybody had a good year
Everybody let their hair down
Everybody pulled their socks up
Everybody put their foot down
oh yeah
I've got a feeling
I've got a feeling
Ever since Chicken Little said, the sky was fallin' down upon his head
I told myself, what a wonderful world
Climb a tree, headin' straight to the pond
Catch some polly wogs before they turn to frogs
I told myself, what a wonderful world
Puppy love are behind the law, before you know it it's a big old dog
Left so suddenly, where's that wonderful world?
Just a kid growin' up on a farm, hardly knew what was right from wrong
It's a jungle in this wonderful world
Ever since Johnny went to Nam, he lost his mind when he lost his arm
I convinced myself, it's an ugly old world
But seein' school, I was just a kid, someone had to go and shoot the president
He wasn't sleeping when he's going to bed, so they said, so now he's dead
Didn't know much but I knew it wasn't funny
Everybody's crying like they killed the Easter bunny
Nothing changes, never changes, killing in vain
Tell me what it's coming to, tell me what well we ain't gonna do
If it stays like this we'll have nothing left to lose
Saw a picture and it ain't so pretty, from the West Coast to New York City
I've seen the world, it's such a pity, we'll be here on our own
Ever since Chicken Little said, "Humpty Dumpty fell and broke his head"
I told myself, what a wonderful world
Ever since mom she reveal, the tooth fairy nor Santa Clause is real
May be so, mama, it's still a wonderful world
What a drag, it is getting old
"Kids are different today", I hear every mother say
You just need something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And two gets her on her way
Gets her through her busy day
"Things are different today", I hear every mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's such a drag
So she buys an instant cake
And she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And two gets her on her way
Gets her through her busy day
Oh, Doctor, please
Some more of these
Outside the door
She took four more
What a drag, it is getting old
"Men just aren't the same today", I hear every mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy
You can tranquilize your mind
And go running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And four gets her through the night
Helps to minimize her plight
Oh, Doctor, please
Some more of these
Outside the door
She took four more
What a drag, it is getting old
"You just aren't the same today", I hear every mother say
Your pursuit of happiness is such a bore
If you take some more of those
You will get an overdose
No more running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And four gets her on her way
I'm a mean machine, I'm the kind you don't wanna meet
My middle name is trouble, I'm a danger in the street
My motor's in overdrive, I got my pedal to the floor
Never get enough, always comin' back for more - yeah yeah
Here I come, better step aside
Here I come, I'm comin' atcha live, comin' atcha live
I'm the one you want, I never give a warning twice
Anything could happen like the rollin' of the dice - now!
Here I come, you better step aside
Here I come, comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - oh here I come
Come on!
(Solo)
Comin' at you live - I'm comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - oh here I come
Comin' at you live - step aside, oh step aside
why say anything if it doesn't mean nothing at all
if everything you do there's something in it for you or you won't do it at all
stay away
'cause i'm all about givin' a helping hand
talk about love every chance i can
please don't misunderstand me
'cause i'm all about givin' the dog a bone
come on everybody let's get it on
come on let's get it on
all that i believe is what i'm fighting for
and i will always be this way forever more
if i stand alone i'll be here like a stone
forever, forever, forever
yes i know exactly how the story goes
it was all meant to be
but there's just too much crazy shit going on
what is wrong with me
you can call me anything you want cause i don't wanna be
just another one repeating history
please don't misunderstand me
all i do is listen to my heart as it talks to me
(doing as i wish, ah just let it bleed, let it bleed)?
all that i believe is what i'm fighting for
and i will always be this way forever more
if i stand alone i'll be here like a stone
forever, forever, forever
if i only i could change, it's too late
or maybe rearrange my mind, it's too late
if only i could cha-a-a-a-a-a-a-ange
all that i believe is what i'm fighting for
and i will always be this way forever more
if i stand alone i'll be here like a stone
forever, forever, forever
'cause all that i believe is what i'm fighting for
and i will always be this way forever more
if i stand alone i'll be here like a stone
Don't want anyone to know
Who I really am so they'll never see
All the things I hide behind these precious walls
I built just for me
So if they look into the windows of my soul
All they're gonna see
Are my eyes starin' back
And not shattered glass or the broken side of me
'Cause I'm so afraid to show my darkest secrets
I keep them wrapped in chains
And locked up in a place where no one goes
But I'm sure my insecurities will give it all away
I'm heading fast straight for a crash and burn
For me there is no shame
(I'm going down) Back in a hole again
(Deep under ground) Back in a hole again
(Where no one's around) And I don't need a friend
(So safe and sound) Back in a hole again
I'm finally back of course behind the mask
I've always worn for you
To distract you, since I couldn't face the fact
That someone ever knew
That all I am is just some smoke and mirrors
And a gun pointin' back at you
And you to catch me in the act of this
I know it would be through
All these years I've lived in fear, that you would find out
Just exactly what I'm made of
Or what I'm really all about
And it would kill me just to see you
Point your finger and hear you say
"You're one of them" and this I could not stand
So I'll be on my way
(I'm going down) Back in a hole again
(Deep under ground) Back in a hole again
(Where no one's around) And I don't need a friend
(So safe and sound) Back in a hole again
(I'm going down) Back in the hole again
(Deep under ground) I'm in the hole again
(Where no one's around) And I don't need a friend
(So safe and sound) Back in the hole again
What I want and what I need
is everything that I'm supposed to be
I have my hopes, I've got my dreams
I had to fight for what is right for me
And other things that I expect
I take them all and I have no regrets
Life's too short, there's no rain check
Just one shot at it is all you get
I wanna live before I die
Don't want the world to pass me by
I wanna live, I wanna live before I die
You tell me this, you tell me that
They wrote the rules but that ain't where it's at
They only dare to tell me lies
And do I listen? I don't even try
And life's an act, the worlds a stage
I'm like an animal outta my cage
I'm runnin' wild, I'm runnin' free
Just one shot at it is all we need
I wanna live before I die
Don't want the world to pass me by
There's so much more I wanna try
I wanna live
I wanna live before I die
Don't want the world to pass me by
I wanna live, I wanna live before I die
I can't wait around, I just can't waste my time
I don't care if you think that I'm outta my mind
I wanna live before I die
Don't want the world to pass me by
There's so much more I wanna try
I wanna live
I wanna live before I die
Don't want the world to pass me by
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live
I wanna live before I die
Don't want the world to pass me by
World's gone mad
Hey the world's on fire
Food's too dear and your gas is higher
Got to eat, and you've got to breathe
Got no money, well, it's time to leave
Dow Jones crashes, the cats get rich
See them laughing (?)
It's a game (big game)
It's just a game (a big game)
Profit's in hey, what's going on?
All this time, it's the same old song
If you've got dough, they'll lend you more
When you're broke, you get shown the door
They'll take your home and they'll take your car
Make you live in your mom's backyard
The rich get rich, then get rich some more
Pretty soon, they'll be all at war
It's a game (big game)
It's just a game (a big game)
So who's to blame?
It's just a game
Playin games with people's lives
Who struggle hard just to survive
The world is goin' up in flames
Well Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he kick it in the head when he was twenty-five
Speed jive don't want to stay alive
When you're twenty-five
And Wendy's stealing clothes from marks and sparks
And Freddy's got spots from ripping off the stars from his face
Funky little boat race
Television man is crazy saying we're juvenile deliquent wrecks
Oh man I need TV when I got T Rex
I'm a dude man
All the young dudes (Hey dudes)
Carry the news (Where are ya)
Boogaloo dudes (Stand up Come on)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I want to hear you)
Carry the news (I want to see you)
Boogaloo dudes (And I want to talk to you all of you)
Carry the news
Now Lucy looks sweet cause he dresses like a queen
But he can kick like a mule it's a real mean team
But we can love oh yes we can love
And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones
We never got it off on that revolution stuff
What a drag too many snags
Now I've drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine
Got to race some cat to bed
Oh is there concrete all around
Or is it in my head
I'm a dude man
All the young dudes (Hey dudes)
Carry the news (Where are ya)
Boogaloo dudes (Stand up)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I want to hear ya)
Carry the news (I want to see ya)
Boogaloo dudes (And I want to relate to you)

Carry the news (Bring him here you go)
All the young dudes (I've wanted to do this for years)
Carry the news (There you go)
Boogaloo dudes (How do you feel)
I could fry an egg on the street,
But it's so cold inside.
Just trying to be me,
I can barely stay alive.
Never mind to make ends meat,
I learned to survive.
I can handle defeat,
But I refuse to be denied.
[Chorus:]
Life it goes on after all,
But me, I stumble and I fall,
Good for you who feel complete,
'cause I'm here stuck on second street.
I'll take the hit, I'll take the fall
With my back against the wall.
Don't forget, remember me,
'cause I'm still stuck on second street.
Now I got to keep it real,
Right from the start.
Show exactly what I feel,
Deep with in my heart.
It's so clear what we go to do,
No matter how hard.
'cause a dream, it can't come true,
Until we do our part
[Chorus]
Stuck on second street
Stop by to see me any time you want I'm always here,
In the shadows of the night living in the darkest spheres.
Don't walk alone, stray far from home, my dear stay near, until you learn
There's no return
There's no return
There's no return
There's no return
[Chorus]
Life it goes on after all.
I'll take the hit, I'll take the fall,
With my back against the wall,
"We've done four already but now we're steady
and then they went"
Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door
Got a date, can't be late for the high hopes hailla ball.
Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more
Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the day
I use to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way. I don't know
Sitting round singing songs til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start.
Oh yeah
It sure is fine
Blow my mind
(something here but not sure what***)
Yeah Yeah
Well, I ain't superstitious, black cat just cross my trail
Well, I ain't superstitious, oh, the black cat just cross my trail
Don't sweep me with no broom, I might get put in jail
When my right hand itches, I gets money for sure
When my right hand itches, I gets money for sure
But when my left eye jump, somebody got to go
Well, I ain't superstitious, black cat just cross my trail
Well, I ain't superstitious, black cat just cross my trail
Don't sweep me with no broom, I just might get put in jail
Well, the dogs are howlin' all over the neighborhood
Whoa, the dogs are howlin' all over the neighborhood
That is true sign of death, baby, that ain't no good
Well, I'm not superstitious, but that black cat across my trail
Well, I'm not superstitious, a black cat across my trail
Don't sweep me with no broom, I just might get put in jail
Bad luck for me
What have I got
That makes you want to love me
Is it my body
Or someone I might be
Or somethin' inside me
You better tell me
Tell me
It's really up to you
Have you got the time to find out
Who I really am
What does it take
To get inside of your mind
Give me a break
And take a chance for the very first time
You better tell me
Tell me
It's really up to you
Have you got the time to find out
Who I really am
What have I got
That makes you want to love me
Now is it my body
Or someone I might be
Or somethin' inside me
You better tell me
Tell me
It's really up to you
Have you got the time to find out
When I was younger man I hadn't a care
Foolin' around, hitting the town, growing my hair
You came along and stole my heart when you entered my life
Ooh babe you got what it takes so I made you my wife
Since then I never looked back
It's almost like living a dream
And ooh I love you
You came along from far away and found me here
I was playin' around, feeling down, hittin' the beer
You picked me up from off the floor and gave me a smile
You said you're much too young,
your life ain't begun, let's walk for awhile
And as my head was spinnin' 'round
I gazed into your eyes
And thought ooh I want you
Thank you babe for being a friend
And shinin' your light in my life
'cause ooh I need you
As my head was comin' round
I gazed into your eyes
And thought ooh I want you
Thanks again for being my friend
And straightenin' out my life
'cause ooh I need you
Since then I never looked back
It's almost like livin' a dream
Ooh I got you
If ever a man had it all
It would have to be me
