Wallers is a commune in the Nord department in northern France.
Ada Brown (May 1, 1890, - March 31, 1950) was an American blues singer. She is best known for her recordings of "Ill Natural Blues", "Break O' Day Blues", and "Evil Mama Blues.
Ada Scott Brown was born and raised in Kansas City, Kansas, United States; her cousin James Scott was a ragtime composer and pianist. Her early career was spent primarily on stage in musical theater and vaudeville. She recorded with Bennie Moten in 1926; the side "Evil Mama Blues" is possibly the earliest recording of Kansas City jazz. Aside from her time with Moten, she did several tours alongside bandleaders such as George E. Lee.
Brown was a founding member of the Negro Actors Guild of America in 1936, and worked at the London Palladium and in Broadway in the late 1930s. She sang with Fats Waller in the film Stormy Weather in 1943, and followed it with appearances in Harlem to Hollywood, accompanied by Harry Swannagan. The ASV/Living Era compilation album, Ladies Sing the Blues included two "raunchy" tracks from Brown ("Break O'Day Blues" and "Evil Mama Blues.")
All that I held precious
All I treasured in this world
Was you
All that I had cradled
All I gave up for you
You, you
You consciously killed our future
Never breaking stride
God, it makes me nauseous
Just to think about you
Tasting other guys
I won't act as if
Nothing's wrong
But my healing has begun
Even though you broke my life
I'm still able to smile
No denial
Something' inside
Is keeping me alive
Right before it folded
Seems like everyone could see
But me
Bet you couldn't figure out
How to lose me
Easily
Won't dignify your decision
To suffocate my dream
Giving you the pleasure of believing you could
Put an end to me
While you prance about
Someone else
Won't feel sorry for myself
Living life alone tonight
I'm still able to smile
No denial
Something inside
Is keeping me
Keeping me Alive
I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
Something inside
Is keeping me
So a man and a woman forked at a baby
The prince of dysfunction boy on a string
From a suburban palace he walked out to freedom
Enslaved to a concept in the world of a king
And baby's love he's smoking in a peacoat
A ship on the ocean bird on a wind
With a poem and soul written in his honor
There's a concrete assumption in the world of a king
A guitar and a girlfriend, just off the turnpike
Yeah, the foundtain of ego learned how to sing
But the truth shall engage him with heartbreak and cold cots
In an unguarded moment in the world of a king
And baby's gone, she's dancing on a big stage
With a tear and a tutu
The phone never rings
And he can't go on, he's banging on a keyboard
There's an E-mail to Jesus from the world of a king
I took a moment to remember a moonlit night
Conversation by the candlelight was free
Never trying to please yourself
Never happy with nobody else but me
You're using violence
To promote your face
Your ignorance is our disgrace
So you rival nature
Subtraction cleanses
Adjust the focus on your opaque lenses
Six million before me
Won't let me raise my hands against you
Six Million human beings
Will stop me even though I want to
Destroy your thinking and erase you from this earth
I'll try to hear and keep an open ear
For what it's worth
Now it all feels crystal clear
I found your hate in here
No difference between your anger and mine
Bitterness burns in my heart
It's ripping my soul apart
And I fear this is the calm before the storm
Six Million before me
Won't let me raise my hands against you
Six Million human beings
Will stop me even though I want to
Destroy your thinking and erase you from this earth
I'll try to hear and keep an open ear
For what it's worth
Six Million before me
Vanished from your narrow vision
Six Million human beings
Looking over all the angles obvious that some ain't right
Litter the recycle bin with all the things I'll change tonight
Well that's not wrong, it's merely lame
There's no need to hide my shame
Well I'm tired of slowly sinking
Still there's no one else to blame
I can't help it I'm a quitter
From inside I'm cold and bitter
Always out an unbeliever
We're not floating in the ether
Sick of the illusion that it's sad to ever want to know
Taking off and sputtering whenever it was time to go
Well it's not my fault, I'll never try
I can't even tell you why
Well I thought I heard you calling
From the corner of my eye
I can't help it I'm a quitter
From inside I'm cold and bitter
Always out and in denial
Laying wreaths and Spanish tile
I'm not scared I'm only nervous
When chocolate shakes and power surges
Stephen Hawking can't know either
We're not floating in the ether
It's not my fault, I'll never try
Well I can't even tell you why
Well I thought I heard you calling
From the corner of my eye
I can't help it I'm a quitter
From inside I'm cold and bitter
Always out and in denial
Laying wreaths and Spanish tile
I'm not scared I'm only nervous
When chocolate shakes and power surges
Stephen Hawking can't know either
We're not floating in the ether
Always out and in denial
Laying wreaths and Spanish tile
Stephen Hawking can't know either
What's on your mind?
Could've been careful
And kept defenses high and life in line
You shouldn't have let go
And offered up your soul
I think it's time to say
You're my life
You're my whole world, you're my life
I'm only blown away
You were right
You were right, love
You were right
What's on my mind?
I never think wishful
And no one really tries so why should I
Sacrifice my freedom
Don't fence in my kingdom
Till I spent time without you
And missed that perfect peace when you're beside
It's my own breakthrough
To let somebody inside
I think it's time to say
You're my life
You're my whole world, you're my life
I'm only blown away
You were right
You were right, love
You were right
I think it's time to say
We'll be fine
We'll be fine, just give it time
I'm only blown away
You were right
You were right, love
You were right
Everyone in
Everyone in this, in this
Secular war
Nobody fearless, fearless
What I stand for
Hopin to fight this, fight this
Kick this, kill this, beat this
And take no more than I need
All of these human beings
Gradually
Turn into human doings
People I see
Livin like robots
Who stopped all on auto-pilot
To keep quiet
Usually people
Usually people die
Usually people die missing life
How can I keep
Taking advantage
Not for granted
Before panic attacks my will to believe
I could be maybe able
Relatively
Mentally stable, stable
Stuck in the thick
Of people just taking without needing
Feeding frenzy
To stay crazy
Usually people
Usually people die
Usually people die missing life
Cell phone, tumor
Fuck him, fuck her
Stay sleep deprived
Stay half alive
Set clocks, new shocks
Deadbolts, ten locks
Come join the flock
You're now in stock
Your health, your wealth
Your loss of self
Your breath, your death
Your head upon their shelf
Usually people
Usually people die
Good old mom and dad
Pulled the plug in December
A quarter century erased forever
The way you stare at me
It's obvious to see
Our candle's fading
And I don't dry your eye
When it starts raining
And it looks like rain
Go look around
No place is safe and sound
No sanctuary waits
Beyond these rusty gates
It's up to us
To carry on what's left
This time it's down to us
You're my last chance at this
Don't trust another easy road
That's just the foolish gold
It's up to us
If your fractured heart
Won't receive it's healing
We'll repeat the mistakes
Our parents' generation is revealing
But don't you take away
The reason I can say
Life is worth liven'
Just search your mind
And find time for forgiving
Go look around
No place is safe and sound
No sanctuary waits
Beyond these rusty gates
It's up to us
To carry on what's left
This time it's down to us
You're my last chance at this
Don't trust another easy road
That's just the foolish gold
I felt like I just had to cry a bit today
And every day is darker than the one before
I think I've earned the right to stay in bed all day
Doing nothing, waiting for the phone to ring
Hey, is it really that hard for you
To think of me?
Hey, is it really that hard for you
To think of me?
I got up to say hello, but you weren't there
A stranger's voice said sorry that I bothered you
Where are you tonight, I know I shouldn't care
Wasting precious time, waiting for the phone to ring
Expectation, isolation, indignation driving me
A dialogue with your machine
Seven messages to help you get my point
Think of me - why don't you?
You better believe I'm terrified by the sickness in my soul
Whenever I recollect on just how quickly I can lose control
I consider myself a peaceful person most if not all the time
You should've been there to see me slip across a crucial line
I exploded
Set to bust like a time bomb
Oh God, what have I become???
Right there at the instant just before I pass out from my pain
I really can feel how easily a normal person turns insane
I remember a wave of self disgust
And embarrassment and surprise
When I caught the first reflection of the hypocrisy in my eyes
I exploded
Set to bust like a time bomb
Oh God, what have I become???
Leaving behind everything I once was
Found out that I'm not as strong as I thought I was
Keep me away, far, far away from family and friends
I'm scared of myself when it feels like I might strike again
Leaving behind everything I once was
Found out that I'm not as strong as I thought I was
Keep me away, far, far away from family and friends
I'm scared of myself when it feels like I might strike again
I'm Terrified
In the summer of my discontent
Tension was piled high
At the snap of a wrist
This pacifist kissed his innocence good-bye
He'd be pourin one more
As the sun came up
He'd say, 'Do your Dad a favor, fill me up'
It's not his fault, she told me
Trying to hold a tear
'At your age, his dad just disappeared'
This stops with me
The past will be gone
I will not pass it on
This stops with me
The pain will be gone
I will not pass it on
Now I'm always tired
And I don't want to think
I'm just looking forward
To another drink
This stops with me
The past will be gone
I will not pass it on
This stops with me
The pain will be gone
I will not pass it on
The past won't win
I won't be just like him
I'll never be just like him
Got a message last night
You were shaking on the phone
We're gonna have a child of our own
This stops with me
The past will be gone
I will not pass it on
This stops with me
The pain will be gone
I will not pass it
This will stop with me
This will stop with me
Stop the rock, stop the rock
Stop the rock, stop the rock
Stop the rock, can't stop the rock
You can't stop the rock, stop the rock
Stop the rock, can't stop the rock
You can's stop the rock, can't stop the rock (repeated)
Shake that paranoia, can't stop the rock! (repeated)
Come move me move me
Dancing like Madonna, into the groovy
Stop the rock, can't stop the rock
You can't stop the rock, can't stop the rock
Let's get down and dirty baby
Come get down and dirty babe
Down and dirty baby
Shape the rock like Henry Moore
Aphrodite at the waterhole, come on!
Stop the rock, can't stop the rock
Earthy morning
Second dawning
Moving picture waking me
I'm never yawning
Perfect timing
Heaven climbing
Sunny rays and the wind chimes chiming
City falling
Family calling
Got an orphan in my arms
A baby bawling
What's it provin, still it's movin
Picture shaking me
It's all too often nowadays
One giant coffin
Power plays make waves
In the quicksand
This land is my land
Man against man, we stand
My brother woke me up this morning
Turned on the T.V. screen
And made it all too clear
Now that a different day is dawning
I've started out my day with fear
For the second time this year
It's all too often nowadays
One giant coffin
Power plays make waves
In the quicksand
This land is my land
Man against man, we stand
Earthy morning
Second dawning
Moving picture waking me
I'm never yawning
Perfect timing
Heaven climbing
Sunny rays and the wind chimes chiming
City falling
Family calling
Look at me I'm a grown man bawling
What's it proving
Still it's moving
Picture shaking me
It's all too often nowadays
One giant coffin
Power plays make waves
In the quicksand
This land is my land
Man against man, we stand
Better watch your step
I'm coming closer
Do what you got to do
Better take a breath
I'm just a friend
And you got some boyfriend too
It's about that time
I'm crossing that line
Between her and me
Who knows where it goes
Guess we'll see
Now the place is set
But it's packed up with people
Prying us both apart
So I steal her back
Pull her into this closet
Close the door and start
I spin her around
Slide to the ground
Get down on my knees
The straps cross her back
In my teeth I pull
And pull
Hips and wet lips say pull me in baby
Pull me in
Now the crowd gets loud
But I can't hear a thing
She's breathing in double time
She hits that sound
Grips the back of my hair
And swears she might lose her mind
My fingertips and friction's applied
Tongue tied-still she screams
Just like when she did
In my dreams
I pull
And then pull
Hips and wet lips say pull me in baby
Pull me in and push push push
Now I'm more than ready
To be alive
Now I'm more than ready
To take her on my vibe
Now I'm more than ready
To give a try
Now I'm more than ready
To take her
Down
And then pull
Hips and wet lips say pull me in baby
Pull me in and push push push
Now I'm more than ready
To be alive
Now I'm more than ready
To take her on my vibe
Now I'm more than ready
To give a try
Now I'm more than ready
To take her
Down
Down
Down
Down
Down
You're all I got
If someone's there listening
See me through
Help me please
Stay with me
I was always forced to come tough
And thought that it was enough
To know I'm still a good person
Without a church to rehearse in
Now I'm here and my tide is turning
Tried it all, but nothing's working
One shot- you're all I got
You're all I got
If someone's there listening
See me through
Help me please
If someone's there listening
Come on down
Help me please
What a waste, I know
Please protect me tonight
I'm not prepared to die
Thought that I'd be
Thought that I'd be resigned
Now I know it's not
No it's not my time
It's not my time
It's not my time
If someone's there listening
See me through this
Help me please
If someone's there listening
Come on down
Help me please
You were a confusing ghost
I never figured out
Now I got something I need
To talk to you about
In the ground lies a man
Steering wheel just slipped through his hand
Now his bones turn back to sand
On a ledge in Japan
Horses run as fast as they can
Off a cliff onto solid land
They get off, get off, get off
At the core of every creature
There's a self-destructive feature
And a preacher begging us to stay
Begging us to stay
I would love to erase
Trade in mine for some other face
Fill my lungs and then leave this place
Watch my blood running red
Wanna pull the hair off my head
How I love to pretend I'm dead
I get off, get off, get off
At the core of every creature
There's a self-destructive creature
And a preacher begging us to stay
Begging
I gotta be honest, mister
Don't be telling me to value life
'cause we just want to get fucked up tonight
Now the preacher can't control us kids
Ya can't control us
Now the preacher can't control us kids
Ya can't control us kids
Not us
Still pitch dark when I fall out of bed
Seems an instant since I laid my head
I'm barely awake but I'm already late
For my chance to get out of the red
I see foreman much more than my wife
I'm loosen time in my one only life
I'm locked in a style watching all the bills pile
Destined to siphon my blood
On your mark and get set
Go boy, take what you can get
By the moonlight, we'll fight
At the pace of the human race tonight
Hear the gunshot, let's go
Blow by everyone you know
By the moonlight, we'll fight
At the pace of the human race tonight
I come run-in right out of the gate
Can't catch my breath or slow my heart rate
I can't compete with the fear of defeat
If the market's deciding my fate
On your mark and get set
Go boy, take what you can get
By the moonlight, we'll fight
At the pace of the human race tonight
Hear the gunshot, let's go
Blow by everyone you know
At the pace of the human race tonightLet's go, let's go
Blow by everyone we know
Let's go, let's go
At the pace of the human race tonight
It's not a hard decision to make
If you could step away
And think like you're watching you
Of what you could stand to lose
And what it is that makes you you
Everything else is in orbit around you
Swirling a crystalline blanket surrounding
You are impierceable
You are intangible
And you wreck me daily
Godspeed your noble climb
I'm rooting for you
As the sediment cracks
I sense a presence
Being brought to life
And I'm pushed aside
A satellite planet was once on the inside
Now I'm burning from overexposure to sunlight
Just go on and go
Don't look back
Don't you think I know
That you're already gone
I'll be here
Cheering you on
Get up on your way
No one will know
I'll tell them that I woke up alone today
And now you're better off believing in you
Everything else is in orbit around you
Swirling a crystalline blanket surrounding you
Just go on and go
Don't look back
Don't you think I knowv
That you're already gone
I'll be here
Cheering you on
I'll be here
Cheering you on
Could I change the way you feel
Could I make you see there's more than holding on
Can you ever let your heart believe again
So this is where we are
And this is all that life has got to give
Maybe all that's left is just to live
Caught up in when or whether
I didn't want to tell a lie
But I saw forever there in your eyes
So what you're trying to say
Do you really think it's worth just walking away
Well is it fair to tell me I'm to blame
Well you know you've got to choose
And you know you are afraid of what you'll lose
How can you believe what just ain't true
Caught up in when or whether
I didn't want to tell a lie
But I saw forever there in your eyes
I know it's now or never
How could you ever say goodbye
When you see forever here in my eyes
Baby forgive me
Cause I got nothin' left to hide
Don't ever leave me
Cause there'll be nothin' left inside
Could I change the way you feel
Could I make you see there's more than holding on
Could you ever let your heart believe again
Caught up in when or whether
I didn't want to tell a lie
But I saw forever there in your eyes
I know it's now or never
How could you ever say goodbye
It might seem I'm not that weak
Hide behind these words I speak
To convince myself that I make sense
Everyday I ride this fence
On my lack of confidence
Chemical imbalance
Makes me wonder how
Things are underground
No guarantees I'll feel any better
If I take my life No guarantees I'll feel any better
If I medicate my mind
No guarantees
Pump your toxins in my heart
Fill me up a shopping cart
If you promise I'll start over
Just like new
When you notice I'm aloof
Or abrasive next to you
Pray I make it through
All my horrid fears
Just asking why I'm here
No guarantees I'll fell any better
If I take my life
No guarantees I'll feel any better
If I medicate my mind
No guarantees I'll feel any better
If I cut my time
No guarantees I'll feel any better
If I take my life
She laughed like a car crash
In my ear
She sang me a secret
No one else could hear
She lived like a lifetime
Was just one day
If you could ask her
This is what she'd say
'I'm already outside me
Wish that you could let me be'
She came into see me
Through a dream
She made my finger
Turn off her machine
As I lean in to kiss her
There's no one there
Just a patch of laughter
Hanging on the air
'I'm already outside me
I love you and thank you
For loving me'
Maybe now she can smile down on me
Sitting in this cell
'cause I love her more
All at once these voices called my name
Echoing the damage in my brain
Get your life together, boy
She can't be your only joy
Put your mind on something else
Be a man, control yourself
You must love her less
You must need her less
You must toss away
Your only hope of happiness
No I don't expect your sympathy
Only one who's feeling this is me
When you'd die for someone else
Then you really know yourself
Fuel to fight the pressure show
Stronger than when on your own
You must love her less
You must need her less
You must toss away
Your only hope of happiness
Stop crying
Help me love you less
Help me need you less
Help me kill the only thing
I ever wanted to protect
Help me love you less
Help me need you less
Help me kill the only thing
I wanted to protect
No one understands
No one understands
I love, I love, I love. . . .
Concrete and water
Murder the blurry sky
Homeless been bit by the business
Black tie in bed with a white lie
Who you wanna be?
All of them are all inside of me
School kids in pressure
Desperate identity
Cat fight for time in the spotlight
She hides her fears on the inside
Or it's on her sleeve
She gives the people what they wanna see
She can peel all that plastic back
And lift her face to the stars
She can break from herself
Become somebody else
B(ye)uy, b(ye)uy b(ye)uy
Sell, sell, sell
I can't help but laugh at this city
Right at the right moment
You're so fukkin pretty
Never gets too late to play dress up
All it takes a quake to come shake us up
That's entertainment
Spirituality
God bless us all in the sickness
Crack up, put change in the tip cup
So the story goes
Write the song that everybody knows
You can peel all that plastic back
And lift your face to the stars
You can break from yourself
Become somebody else
B(ye)uy, B(ye)uy, B(ye)uy
Sell, sell, sell
I can't help but laugh at this city
Right at the right moment
You're so fukkin pretty
Never gets too late to play dress up
All it takes a quake to come shake us up
I love, I love, I love, I love
I love, I love, I love L.A.
I love L.A., I love L.A.,
So inexpressible that it's inescapable
How a faceless presence renders me incapable
I'd be in a car on Sunset Boulevard
Then without warning
Phantom forces slash my heart
And they blast my brain apart
Hard water fills these eyes to drain
Pain, pain, pain
Pumps in seizing veins
But today
Help's on the way
Connection cut, interface
Pick up the line
The network takes too much time
To lock in the trace
I'll reinstall firewall protection brainwaves
Emancipation for unconscious slaves
All you unconscious slaves
Columns after rows
Farther than the eye goes
They just line us up and pluck the one that grows
Now we're modified
They've implanted their seeds inside
Pixeled screens for eyes
And they blast my brain apart
Hard water fills these eyes to drain
Pain, pain, pain
Pumps in seizing veins
But today
Help's on the way
Connection cut, interface
Pickup the line
The network takes too much time
To lock in the trace
I'll reinstall firewall protection brainwaves
Emancipation for unconscious slaves
All you unconscious slaves
You're not slaves
Father, who am I supposed to be?
You seem disappointed
When you see the real me
And when we talk
I try to guess
How you measure success
It's hard enough
To be myself
Without you wishing I was someone else
And I'll be a sailor
And you'll be the rocky sea
I'll sail through the storm
You'll never find me
You don't even know me
Father, I just want to know
Can you see me trying
Not to let the pain show
And if you can, then recognize
There's someone behind my eyes
Who looks to you for some support
Before life proves that it's much too short
And I'll be a sailor
And you'll be the rocky sea
I'll sail through the storm
You'll never find me
You don't even know me
It's hard enough to be myself
Father
And when we talk
I try to guess
How you measure success
It's hard enough to be myself
Without you wishing I was someone else
And I'll be a sailor
And you'll be the rocky sea
I'll sail through the storm
You'll never find me
You don't even know me
Animals
Gather in packs of culture and clothes
Closin ranks
Guard their walls with artillery tanks and shanks
Thanks a lot
For leaving me out based on what I have not got
Guns come out
When character does not count
Try to be wanted
Try to be hunted
Try to stay safe
Run ahead
Make the true you just fall away
You just fall away
Replaced
Try to be hot shot
Try to be punk rock
Try to be someone you're not
Make the true you just fall away
You just fall away
Replaced and fake
Back when we
Walked on all fours, instinctively
We stayed alive
By being accepted as one of the tribe
There's no cure
Not when you're
Genetically insecure
Countries and kids
Just do what their parents did
Try to be wanted
Try to be hunted
Try to stay safe
Run ahead
Make the true you just fall away
You just fall away
Replaced
Try to be hot shot
Try to be punk rock
Try to be someone you're not
Make the true you just fall away
You just fall away
Replaced and fake
Count me out
I can't keep up
I don't fit in - just look at me
How could I be like you?
How could I be like you?
Try to be wanted
Try to be hunted
Try to stay safe
Run ahead
Make the true you just fall away
You just fall away
Try to be hot shot
Try to be punk rock
Try to be someone you're not
Make the true you just fall away
You just fall away
I'm not your target market
Don't live with a sitcom mom and dad
I'm a different kind
Don't identify, no
So go build another billboard
That's telling me how I need to think
Or how to fix my skin
I'm not buying in
You'll never touch my soul
Never penetrate
Can't get inside my skull
My body is yours to break
I'll be incarcerated
Manipulated left and right
Tortured for my pride
Even if I die
You'll never touch my soul
Never penetrate
Can't get inside my skull
My body is yours to break
I see too many people die
Looted, by somebody else's notion of a lifestyle
Taking the place of a single cell
Can anyone tell me
They've never been influenced by propaganda?
The casualties of this consume my culture
Fall into line with a silent cry
As we speak there's a temperature rising
A child who is barely alive
One beyond just the physical something survives
Uh...yeah (x4)
Uh...
I love pointless effluent
It seems to love me
It's sticking to my heart like polythane glue
Making everything seem so sweet
Big wide world of bitterness baby
Poisoning up this tongue
Give her this life it's sweet respite
Let's rip that packet of fun
Rotting my brain once again
It's always the same it never ends (x2)
Love me lovely cathode-ray
Mother me in your glow
I'll do anything you say
If you tell me i'll never be alone
Touch me shiny magazine
Touch me way down there
I can't help imagining
That you really care
Rotting my brain once again
It's always the same it never ends (x4)
Drug me fuck me dull the pain
I don't ever want to know
Knock me down and i'll get up again
You know that i'll do what i'm told
I've got a spec of truth caught in my eye
Stings like hell and it's making me cry
Getting up would only leave me wondering why
Everything's turning grey
And now i'm...
Rotting my brain once again
(K. Green)
I hate to break it to you, we had nothing in common
We were so far apart
You liked Top radio and I had my Joni Mitchell
We were helpless from the start
You wanted something more than I could ever give
You wanted to feel my kiss from the heart
But I only loved you because you're gorgeous
Long, long sleepless nights so unsatisfied
Never wanted a car or your money or a diamond ring
I never asked for anything from you
But I'd take honesty over jealousy any day
Something that you could never give to me
Anyway, I only loved you because you're gorgeous
I only cared because you're gorgeous
Last night you came to me in a dream
I thought my therapy had rid you from my memory
I was wrong
Everyone says, "I love you"
Everyone says, "I need you"
Everyone says, "oh, darling marry me" so casually it seems
But I only loved you because you're gorgeous
Said, I only stayed because you're gorgeous
Everyone says, "I love you"
Everyone says, "I love you"
Everyone says, "I love you" so casually it seems
But I only loved you because you're gorgeous
Said, I only smiled because you're gorgeous
Every excuse
Each reason why
Is just a way to justify
Letting your dream
Whither and die
I won't let mine
Mine stays alive
No fuckin lie
This is the man I am
I'll keep the promise
And go down fighting
No matter what you say
I'd rather stay
And go down fighting
I have a chance
I have a choice
I have a consciousness
I have a voice
After I'm gone
What was it for?
Was it a waste
One empty space
Not anymore
This is the man I am
This is where I will stand
I'll keep the promise
And go down fighting
No matter what you say
You chose to run away
I'd rather stay

The big man ain't so big no more
He's curled up on the basement floor
His worldly goods around his feet
He's lost his mind trying to keep
The more you gain, the more you pray
Nobody comes to take it all away
But you're up there and I'm down here
With just the stairs between our fears
And walls made of foolish pride
Don't let me hide
Once I walked a troubled road
Crusading for a ransom owed
But any source of real joy contains
An initiation of pain
The more you build, the more you stay
Behind to tend what you have made
But you're up there and I'm down here
With just the stairs between our tears
And walls we can't see behind
Don't let me hide
The more you live, the more you're sure
Some things are worth losing for
But you're up there and I'm down here
With just the stairs between our fears
And walls we can live inside
Bobby, I'm glad your're not alive to see this
Selassie, somehow I know that you can feel what's going on
Johnny, some dreams are harder to remember
Mommy, we're losing you when we need you more than ever
Families die but someone cares
Glued to the tube with empty stares
Nothing matters but money
Nothing matters but money today
Ghandi, one look at you and I'm reminded
How long, how long we've all been living blinded
Families die but someone cares
Glued to the tube with empty stares
Nothing matters but money
Nothing matters but money today
Nothing matters but money

I wanna see your burgers burnt .

While the flame is jumping.

Underneath the trees,
We're gonna grill it up

We've got weenies.

And the Uncle Bob
We've got
The green peas
And the corn on the cob,

The line is very long
And my brother,
My brother he's a slob.
The food is piping hot,
The beer is icy cold,

The refrigerators stocked
And the bug zapper is zapping
So this BBQ will ROCK

Yes the line is long
But the portions ain't teeny all
In line for the beanies and the weenies
Yes the line is long but the portions ain't teeny

We're outside, we're OUTSIDE!

Welcome everyone
Wherever you been coming from
This is where we belong
Welcome everyone, to Zion
Close your eyes and listen, don't make a noise
Concentrate and focus on just my voice
Let yourself imagine infinity
One time, step outside your life
Let go of these days
You are a chosen soul
Right now and always
Welcome everyone
Wherever you been coming from
This is where we belong
Welcome everyone, to Zion
Space and time illusions to pacify tiny minds
Perception can pass us by
Open wide, imagine infinity
One time, step outside your life
Let go of these days
You are a chosen soul
Right now and always
Never forget you're loved
Don't forget love
Don't forget you're loved
Don't forget love
