Oh jeez
You got me hollering please
Where does it all come from anyway
Do I really want this to stay
It must have been right
I'm a fool
Are you gonna be here when I die
Does it make a difference
If I lie
And ??? is just something that
You gotta do
Is something that you do and (?)
Is this really gonna stay
Striking down the enemy
Fighting hand to hand
Troops are thrusting onwards
Time to take command
Ready to devour
On the attack
Bodies lie dismembered
Maimed, killed, and hacked
Draw fast, cut first
Live hard, die hard
Feel the point of the blade
Lunging like an animal, killing all in sight
Going for the throat, living for the fight
In a bath of bloodshed, mixing with the sweat
Crawling through the barbwire, put it to the test
Fight, fight fight
Fight, fight fighting the war
Fight, fight fight
Fight, fight fight
Gung-Ho, Gung-Ho, Gung-Ho
Gung-Ho, Gung-Ho, Gung-Ho
Raging on the warpath, storming through the town
Blowing it to pieces, killing all around
Stand in our way, if you've got the balls
In a hail of bullets, your nailed to the wall
We wait out the day, we burn in the sun
We move in by night, and kill everyone
Show no emotions, have no regrets
Made to take pain, no fear of death
Draw fast, cut first
Live hard, die hard
On a field of red one gold star
Raised above his head
Raised above his head
He was not like any other
He was just like any other
And the song they bled
Was a hymn to him
Awake my little one
The seed of revolution
Sewn in the sleeve
Of cloth humbly worn
Where others are adorned
Above the northern plain
The great birds fly
With great wings
Over the paddy fields
And the people kneel
And the men they toil
Yet not for their own
And the children are hungry
And the wheel groans
There before a grass hut
A young boy stood
His mother lay dead
His sisters cried for bread
And within his young heart
The seed of revolution sewn
In cloth humbly worn
While others are adorned
And he grew into a man
Not like any other
Just like any other
One small man
A beard the color of rice
A face the color of tea
Who shared the misery
Of other men in chains
With shackles on his feet
Escaped the guillotine
Who fought against
Colonialism imperialism
Who remained awake
While others slept
Who penned like jefferson
Let independence ring
And the cart of justice turns
Slow and bitterly
And the people were crying
Plant that seed that seed
And they crawled on their bellies
Beneath the giant beast
And filled the carts with bodies
Where once had been their crops
And the great birds swarm
Spread their wings overhead
And his mother dead
And the typhoons and the rain
The jungles in flames
And the orange sun
None could be more beautiful
Than vietnam
Nothing was more beautiful
Than vietnam
And his heart stopped beating
And the wheel kept turning
And the words he bled
Were a hymn to them
I have served the whole people
I have served my whole country
And as I leave this world
May you suffer union
And my great affection
Limitless as sky
Filled with golden stars
The question is raised
Raised above his head
Was he of his word
Was he a good man
For his image fills the southern heart
With none but bitterness
And the people keep crying
And the men keep dying
And it's so beautiful
So beautiful
Give me one more turn
Give me one more turn
One more turn of the wheel
One more revolution
Nelly: I saw you yesterday, your eyes all a-glazed, oh no.
Was it too much for you to take?
Did you want the pain to go away?
K'naan: Yeah, I'll take it.
I knew I had to leave that trash on my sleeves;
Got caught up in the streets,
I couldn't really breath.
Oh, no {Oh, no}
So, then I took a gun,
Looked up into the sun,
The tears began to run,
Remembered when I was little one (Oh, no)
That day, the mist in the morning
Made me feel like I was alone and
My soul in-a started swelling
Was it you, behind me, calling?
That day, the mist in the morning
Made me feel like I was alone and
My soul in-a started swelling
Was it you, behind me, calling?
Together:
Are you going away? Are you going away?
Are you going away? Are you going away?
Nelly: Remember?
K'naan: Remember there was that one summer you went away to school?
Nelly: My parents got a new job and I had to change schools.
K'naan: And there was that one time you went away to camp?
Nelly: Letters everyday until I got back.
K'naan: But, you said 'I'll keep in touch' but my life got too rough.
Nelly: You were always so touched.
K'naan: Well, I guess I had enough.
Nelly: That day, in the misty morning
Was it you, behind me, calling?
Remember when we used to swing in the lawn and
sing that song 'till one of us would fall
Together: Lalalalala, etc.
Are you going away? Are you going away?
Are you going away? Are you going away?
Are you going away? Are you going away?
Are you going away? Are you going away?
Are you going away? Are you going away?
I think I saw you on the bus today
I think I felt you in the wind today
I think I saw you in the street today
I think I felt you in the trees today
I think I felt you in the rain today
I think I saw you in the grocery store
I saw you in the back of the cab
I saw in the back of that cab
Anyways, guess I'm going away.
Guess I'm going away (Bye bye)
Guess I'm going away.
Lately I'm feelin' kinda broken
Like a man that swerves through the world
And I ain't got no explanation
And if I did, know I'd sound absurd
But I can't change a thing
No matter what I do
You don't care what I say
I can't hide the pain anymore
Oh, I'm going away
Just a need a way to keep the rain out
And land with my both feet on the ground
But everytime I go to stand up on my own
You come along, come along and then you knock me down
But I can't change a thing
No matter what I do
You don't care what I say
I can't hide the pain anymore
Oh, I'm going away
So maybe I'd break out for the mountains
Maybe I'd be south bound to Mexico
When you comin' beggin', pleadin' you said, "Baby please don't leave"
Well I made up my mind, I made up my mind it's time to go
I can't change a thing
No matter what you do
But you don't care what you say
I can't hide the pain anymore
Sixty miles or six hundred.
The shadow of the pines
Or the sunny station wagon.
We're looking at the map
And we're laughing and we're going.
I hope some other time
I won't care so much about
Being understood as I do now.
I will leave myself and go away.
I would like to follow you away.
Would you let me take care of you?
I would like to sing you a song in the morning.
Walk you to the car when you're going
Where you're going.
And then some other time
I wouldn't care so much about
Being understood as I do now.
I would leave myself and go away.
I would like to follow you away.
Walk you to the car when you're going
Where you're going.
I wouldn't care so much about
Being understood as I do now.
I would leave myself and go away.
I would like to follow you away.
Seeing you I know what is right
And what is true.
Oh I see the way I want to be.
Que pena que no est¨¦s t¨²
para que vieras que mar
que agua tan m¨¢s azul
y sus olas...
Que pena que est¨¦s tan lejos
y t¨² te pierdas este amanecer
ay! Que pena, si supieras c¨®mo est¨¢ Canc¨²n
yo s¨®la
con tantas olas, Ay! que vienen y van
y yo sola, yo sola
como la luna, como el sol, como el mar,
eeel mar...
Claro que extraño tus besos
y tu manera de amar ... aah, aaah!
tu mirada, tus palabras, tus caricias,
tus sonrisas, pero est¨¢s aqu¨ª
sin tus ojos, sin tu boca, sin tus manos, sin tus cosas
y el mar frente a mi... Canc¨²n y yo.
Que pena que no est¨¦s t¨²
para que vieras que mar
que agua tan m¨¢s azul
y sus olas...
que pena que est¨¦s tan lejos
y t¨² te pierdas este amanecer
ay! Que pena, si supieras c¨®mo est¨¢ Canc¨²n
yo sola
con tantas olas, Ay! Que vienen y van
y yo sola, yo sola
como la luna, como el sol, como el mar
eeel mar...
Claro que extraño tu cuerpo
pero gracias a la mar
y a las olas que me miran, que me atraen
que me abrazan
que me besan y me hacen ir
que me atrapan, me conducen, me seducen
me desmayan
cuando vuelvo en si... Canc¨²n y yo
me seducen, me desmayan
cuando vuelvo en si... Canc¨²n y yo
I'm going away
But I promise to return some day
But if I don't I promise to remember you
And let us share a drink
so that we can remember
The way things were when friends were here together
Cause our lives are made of memories
And they're all we can take with us
When we leave this place we're in
And as you travel through this world
May your path be long and stony
And may it lead to the most amazing view
I'm going away
But I promise to return some day
But if I don't I promise to remember you
And as you nurse your glass of whiskey
And look out onto the skyline
Think of me and remember the way we were
(Yeah)

Please don't forget me,
I'm going away
I'm taking a taxi to Kentucky
Where they don't need to know all about me,
I just need to feel safe.
I've got a thousand sweaters and shoes and paintings to hide.
Skeletons in my bed.
Don't ask where I'm going.
I'm going away
I'm going my way
Finally it's my time
to be lonely, and lost, unloved and I can't wait.
Don't forget what I said.
don't forget my letter.
Every night I pray for you.
I don't got no religion,
Isn't it that something
I'll miss those days?
I saved that bottle,
It's now 10 years aged
I've got some bibles I could sell for money
And a pair of fresh shaved legs
Won't you baby come with me,
I've got extra space
In my car, in my heart, in my mind
Look there's the passenger seat
by the postcards you gave (Don't know where I'm going)
I'm going away
I'm going my way
Finally it's my time
To be lonely, and lost, unloved and I can't wait.
Don't forget what I said,
Don't forget my letter
Every night I pray you
I don't got no religion
Isn't that something
I'll miss those days?
But he said, "Slow down, slow down
Think it over, we've all got wretched closets
But silly girl pride kills more than aids lately."
I said, "Come on
I've thought it over
I don't wanna die here
I have no desire to get married"
I can't race the others anymore,
No, I must learn to race myself.
I'm going away,
I'm going my way.
Finally it's my time
To be lonely, and lost, unloved and I can't wait
Please forget what I said (I'll find my way)
Please forget my letter.
Every night I pray for you,
I don't got a religion
Isn't that something
I'll miss those days?
I, I'm not going halfway (i'll find my way)
I, I
Every night I pray for you,
Don't believe in heaven
Or that it could be a happy place.
AS THE SUN SETS ON EACH OTHER
WE LOOK IN FEAR TO DISCOVER
HOW DEEP THESE HOOKS GO IN
DEEP INTO OUR SKIN
ALL ROADS LEAD AWAY
AWAY FROM ME TODAY
IT'S NOT DIFFICULT TO SEE
YOU'RE GOING AWAY FROM ME
IT'S NOT DIFFICULT TO SEE
YOU'RE GOING AWAY FROM ME
AS OUR BRIDGES FALL BEHIND US
WE CARRY ON REGARDLESS
OF HOW WE'VE STUMBLED YET
YOU'RE GOING AWAY FROM ME
AS THE HEAVENS DROP TO OUR FEET
OUR HANDS LET GO AS OUR EYES MEET
ACROSS THIS TEAR SOAKED LAND
THE DARKNESS WHERE I STAND
ALL ROADS LEAD AWAY
AWAY FROM ME TODAY
IT'S NOT DIFFICULT TO SEE
YOU'RE GOING AWAY FROM ME
I AM CONSUMED
I'M ROTTING FROM INSIDE
MY LOVE SICKENED HEART
What the hell is going on?
Somethings wrong with this picture
And I'm thinking it might be you
When we started off it was all ok
But slowly I started to notice
What you say isn't always true
Why did I go and waste my time
With a girl who was not all mine
Guess i hoped that we'd come through
Coz I like the idea of you
[Chorus:]
I'm going away
Didn't you see this coming
Now, you want me to stay
But I know you've been running round
What else can I say?
Shouldn't have stayed in the first place
Now I'm going away
We never had much fun anyway
What's a nice guy supposed to do?
Don't bother trying to deny it
I think you've lied quite enough already
So this chump is up and moving on
I've wised up and now your times up
Cos the last thing I need is you
So watcha gonna do
There is one thing I'd like to know
What's it like being such a ho!
What are they gonna think of you
When there's no one you haven't screwed
[Chorus]
I guess this is goodbye
Don't say I didn't try
Lookin out my window,
Looking down the road.
I would like to go, far away,
Away from this place.
I wanna see the world,
Before I die.
Before too many years go by, I've got to go,
Before I get to old.
[Chorus]
Cuz I'm goin away and I'm leavin today,
And I won't be back for a while.
Gettin on a train, a bus or a plane,
I'm gonna leave this place in style.
But before I go I just want you to know
That although it hasn't been very long.
We'll meet again together my friend,
And we'll laugh and we'll sing this song.
Friends will leave you and they will say farewell.
And you can never tell, just why they go,
You don't know, you don't know.
I want light music to softly hit my ear,
You know I've been waiting for years
To take a chance, and to dance, with the wind.
[Chorus]
So I'm goin away and I'm leavin today,
And I won't be back for a while.
Gettin on a train, a bus or a plane,
I'm gonna leave this place in style.
But before I go I just want you to know
That although it hasn't been very long.
We'll meet again together my friend,
And we'll laugh and we'll sing this song.
Cuz I can't be tied down
Sittin in a on-horse town.
I've got to know, who I am.
I pray for you all the time.
You'll always be, on my mind.
And I hopw you understand.
That I'm goin away and I'm leavin today,
And I won't be back for a while.
Gettin on a train, a bus or a plane,
I'm gonna leave this place in style.
But before I go I just want you to know
That although it hasn't been very long.
We'll meet again together my friend,
And we'll laugh and we'll sing this song.
Going AA
VERSE
You lied to me,was it something,out of my life
domestic flight.
In every states,i see your face,may take half
my life,i won't turn back.
CHORUS
From east to west,north to south
we're going across America.
Coast to coast,the highway knows
we're going across America.
Jazz and swing,the music sings,
we're going across America.
Rock and blues,my soul approves,
we're going across America.
VERSE
Always in sight,those city lights,
someday i might,stay there one night.
Red white and blue,those are my moods,
which fifty states,hiding you in.
CHORUS
From east to west,north to south,
We're going across America
Coast to coast,the highway knows,
We're going across America
Which town is this town,motown or my town
I'm going across America
Soul and funk,i'm on the hunt
I'm going across America
Chorus
What time is this time,ragtime or fun time,
I'm going across America
Jazz and swing the music sings
I'm going across America
Metal in fusion,swimming in confusion
I'm going across America
Rock and blues,my soul approves
I'm going across America
Lakes and plains,back on the train
I'm going across America
Smokies to the Rockies,
state lines and farmlands
I'm going across America
From east to west,north to south,
We're going across America
Coast to coast,the highway knows,
We're going across America

But I promise to return some day
But if I don't I promise to remember you
And as you nurse your glass of whiskey
And look out onto the skyline
Is that the moon I see, over there in the West,
Or the head-light gleam, C&O; express?
I know she's gone, What ever I say,
it won't be long 'til I make up my mind
And Go away.
Is that the sun coming up on the eastern shore,
Or just the coal bed glow behind the firebox door?
I know she's gone, whatever I say,
But it won't be long 'til I make up my mind
And go away.
(bridge)
Did you see that fool he can't hear the whistle
Blind old man caught out on the trestle.
Can't go up and he can't go back,
Train kept coming brushed him off the track.
Other storms may blow and the wind may rise,
Still I long to go where the fast mail flies.
I know she's gone, whatever I say,
But it won't be long 'til I make up my mind
And go away.
