Top Grand Funk Railroad, Just Couldn't Wait

I miss her face, but the girl left seven years ago.
Guess I never should've let her go.
That's how I feel because I love her so.
But I'm afraid that she will never know.
She just couldn't wait, she said she couldn't wait 'til "some day."
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.
She said she couldn't wait 'til "some day," 'til "some day."
Oh, tell me now, where do the broken-hearted go from here.
You missed her love and now you're steering clear.
I ain't afraid of nothin' but my fear.
The fear that she might see this rollin' tear.
She just couldn't wait, she said she couldn't wait 'til sunday.
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.
Oh she couldn't wait 'til sunday no, 'til sunday.
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.
She said she couldn't wait 'til sunday.
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.
She said she just couldn't wait.
You know she just couldn't wait, no.
She said she couldn't wait 'til sunday, 'til sunday.

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Life?

Life, this is an outrageous life,
We're living in.
We call this turmoil our life,
Oh, and it's gettin' old coming over again.
But we don't hear nobody,
Say what they're after.
And we don't hear nobody,
Searching for answers.
John Kennedy died,
They thought he had a solution.
We want to know,
What happened to the revolution.
Did we all get hung up in life.
And do we all know,
Just where were going.
Everything's wrong,
So a change has got to be right (man, baby).
Life, for all the rest of our life,
Will we be wrapped up in strife.
Or, are we gonna start it all over again.
We want to have somebody,
Come up with the answers.
We want to be somebody,
That know's what their after.
We hope that everybody,
Can hear what I'm sayin'.
We know that we will,
If we just keep on prayin'.
CHORUS
Learning to share what were standing on.
Learning to care 'cus it's been so long.
No one so big that they have it all.
We've got to give to the very small.
Life, Give me the rest of my life,
I want to finish it right.
So, I don't have to start all over again.
Let's get together,
For some satisfaction.
Let's stand together,
On a chain reaction.
We need somebody,
We could really depend on.
Don't wait till tomorrow,
'Cause it just might be too long.

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Mean Mistreater

You lay around, and watch me die.
Mean mistreater, can't you see I'm real?
Are you satisfied, with the way you feel?
I've tried hard to live without you, in so many ways.
I just can't help myself from thinking of you, for the rest of my days.
Heartache is at my door step, won't leave me alone.
I just can't get used to it, now that I'm on my own.
I know all about you, your childhood days,
Your mom and dad, your pretty face.
Mean mistreater, if you need me,
I'm needin' you to set me free.

And I'm feelin' sentimental.

Memories keep haunting me.
All I have are these memories,
Memories keep haunting me.
I think about her though she's gone from me,
And I want to get her back sincerely.
I pray to heaven she's alright tonight,
'Cause you know I love her, lover her dearly.
But, ...
All I have is this lonely song,
Lonely song I'm singin' all night long.
All I have are these memories,
Memories keep haunting me.
Oooooo, oooooo, oooooo ...
Oooooo, oooooo, oooooo ...
Oooooo, oooooo, oooooo ...

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Loneliest Rider

A long, long time ago there lived an Indian boy,
When he came upon this Earth he brought his family joy.
A paranoid young brave was he, inside his frame was some misery,
He heard the other warriors talking angrily 'bout the white man taking over his country.
CHORUS
What he didn't know, is that some day his ma would be crying.
What he didn't know, is that some day his tribe would be dying.
What he didn't know, is that some day his father'd be gone.
What he didn't know, is that some day he'd be all alone.
None of the stories in the schoolbooks said it, the truth is gone and they're tryin' to forget it.
The history books are all one-sided, the truth is gone and their trying to hide it.
Who had the land 'till we came around? The Indian made his life from the ground.
And what about the boy that this story's about? Where his tee-pee once stood there now is a town.
CHORUS
He was the loneliest rider on the plain.
He was the loneliest rider on the plain.

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Loneliness

Loneliness cries deep from my soul,
Keeps trying to tell me about the world growing so cold.
Too many people trying to take from my Earth,
But we can't live without controlling our birth.
Deep inside a voice cries out for you,
It's not alone 'cause, people, I been cryin' too.
If we don't stop what we all see is wrong,
I guarantee you mankind won't live long.
CHORUS
There's a land, a glorius land,
It's right here on Earth.
Understand what you can from the land,
Your life is it's worth.
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh.
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh.
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh.
To face the problems that everyone's found,
We must replace what we took out of the ground.
Pray for your brother, let your soul find a way,
Help one another, oh, please listen to what I say.
CHORUS
Loneliness ...
Oh ..., I can't get away from loneliness ...
Yeah, loneliness ... oooo ...
Loneliness ...

He kind of started all the plants growing, and he started people. Well, I guess he's kind of big and fat.
Child 2:
He can see us wherever we do ... whatever we do. He has such powerful eyes -- he has to have millions and thousands and billions. And he can still see us when we're bad.

He could be sitting on the table right now, but you can't see him.

He can't be everywhere at once doing everything for everybdy. Everybody can't get what they want.

Good is the right thing and bad is the wrong thing.

When I'm good my mother never yells at me, when I'm bad she does.
Child 8:
Good means to obey your mother and father, to do what the teacher says -- the things right. I feel miserable when I'm ... when I'm bad, I feel miserable on the inside but, on the outside, I just feel like I ... I feel now.

Take me out to the battlefield, let me hear the shells flying by.
Let me hear the sound of the cannons, let me hear them scream and cry.

And she steps up right beside me, yeah
Please don't tell me that's the way that it goes
'Cause I've tried hard and I know
I ain't been playin' in your back yard
'Cause I got my baby and she love me so

She's my pleasure and my world's delight
I don't have to sing the blues no more
A girl like mine is hard to find for sure
She lays it on me each and every night

For killing a man of another creed.
Ahhh ... Ahhh ...

But I know I'll be dead when the evening comes.

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Carry Me Through

Time has come,
To start my search for tomorrow.
On and on,
There's just no end to the sorrow.
But I designed a way,
To see my life through pity.
I don't have too much to say,
And the tears won't let me be.
CHORUS
Carry me through the hard part.
Help me find a new start.
Carry me through the hard part.
Far too long,
I've thought of all the excuses.
Try to go on,
And stay my time to an end.
Dreams in my head,
All turning dark and useless.
Help me find the hand,
That knows where I've been.
Please,
CHORUS
Ahhhhhh ...
Ahhhhhh ...
Carry me through ...
Carry me through ...
Carry me through ...

Many of love affairs grown cold
Just watin for somebody to make up their mind
But you really don't know
Just how unfair and mistaken you are with the love you can't find
There's one thing about it, people,
You're not all alone
I know the feeling
Cause I got my own
I'm right on the borderline the borderline
The borderline between love and hate
Don't push me over, But don't keep me waitin
On the borderline, the borderline
I don't belong here I don't know why
I guess it's hard for me to say
There's one thing about it, people,
You're not all alone

Cause I got my own

The borderline between love and hate
Don't push me over But don't keep me waitin
On the borderline, the borderline

Oh right on the borderline
The borderline between love and hate
Don't push me over, but don't keep me waitin
On the borderline, the borderline
I don't belong here I don't know why

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Freedom Is For Children

I wrote the words of freedom,
I've even sung the song.
But freedom is for children,
'cause they don't understand what's wrong.
The children are so very lucky,
'cause they're not old enough to know.
Not old enough to realize,
But they'll find out as they grow.
The children are so very lucky,
But, on the other hand, who's gonna' save the land?
The children are so very lucky,
But man's invention is gonna' be the prevention of their life.
This song is nearly over,
And so's the world and the day.
There's something missin',
But who will listen enough to do what it will take?
Freedom is for children. why can't it be for me?
Freedom is for children. why can't it be for me?
Freedom is for children. why can't it be for me?
Freedom is for children. why can't it be for me?

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Dues

I think I'm headed for a terrible accident.
Made more plans than anyone who ever paid their rent.
I'm not stupid and I might be havin' too much pride.
Surgeon general has determined that I may as well die.
Jesus are you watching or have you gone blind.
Evil souls are upon us and we're surely runnin' out of time.
CHORUS
I tried religion and some holy roller steals my tenth.
In the grave yard I ain't strong enough to jump the fence.
Some men they say they got more soul than both my shoes.
Makes me wonder can we ever stop payin' dues.
I might be workin' on a scene that I can never act.
Everybody's gonna think that my mind is cracked.
I don't care because it's my right to win or lose.
Makes me wonder can we ever stop payin' dues.
Crazy, am I crazy for wanting so much more.
My mind says I can't ever give up but I still can't be sure.
CHORUS
Can we ever stop payin' dues.
Can we ever stop payin' dues.

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Feelin' Alright

Seems I got to have a change in scene,
'Cause every night I have the strangest dreams.
Imprisoned by the way things used to be, yeah,
Left here on my own or so it seems.
I got to leave before I start to scream,
'Cause somebody locked the door and took the key.
CHORUS
Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself.
Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself.
Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo.
Baby, you sure took me on one big ride,
And, even now I sit and wonder why.
Then, when I think of you, I start to cry,
I know I can't get upset and I must keep dry.
I got to stop believin' in all your lies,
'Cause I got too much to do before I die.
CHORUS
Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo.

Don't want your country to be overrun.

We're willing to die for freedom.
Hand in hand.
You got to understand.
We are american men.
Said they want your gun.
Said they want your gun.

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Winter And My Soul

I see a pear falling down from the tree.
Winter is coming and it's plain to see.
I spend the cold nights in my lonely room.
Is it the winter to which I am doomed?
Cold is the snow that will cover the ground.
I feel the presence of tears falling down.
Is it for pity or pain that I cry?
Color is gone and the grass it must die.
Winter brings sadness that empties my soul.
Life is too short for a dog growing old.
He used to follow and play at my heels.

But it don't take much to make me understand.
Come and dance with me, take me all the higher.
Put your arms around me, make me feel much righter.
Come and love with me, we can move real slow to the music.
Come make love with me, come make love, make love with me.
Oh ...

Stuck in the county jail,
Nobody here gonna' pay my bail.

Shoot for the stars when my eyes can't see the starlight.
Reach for the sun in the night.
Stop lookin' back at the times I was defeated,
I pick myself up, I move straight ahead, I stop lookin' back.
Stranded! Nothing worse.
I'm livin' on coffee, I got an empty purse.
I'm dreamin' 'bout blue eyes lookin' my way,
Hopin' my dreams don't blow away.
I got to pick myself up, and stop lookin' back.
And I've got to move straight ahead, stop lookin' back.

Why, oh why, oh why should I care for someone,
Who doesn't care for me?
I played the game I was subject of, it was all in vain 'cause I fell in love with someone,
Who doesn't care for me, for me.
I hate the game and what it costs, to feel the pain for the love I lost to someone,
Who doesn't care for me.
Why should I even care for someone,
Who doesn't really care for me?
I'm not excited lovin' someone,
Who doesn't really care for me.

Top Grand Funk Railroad, So You Won't Have To Die

The way of life is tough these days, it's hard to get along.
But Jesus came and he talked to me, and that's why I wrote this song.
He told me of my brothers in a far and distant land.
He said that it's gettin' crowded on Earth, and it's time we made some plans.
Time we made some plans.
He said overpopulation is the problem of today.
There's too many children on the Earth, and more on the way.
If you don't start some birth control, then you won't last too much longer.
It's best that we let it save our souls, so we can get much stronger.
Get much stronger.
Ahhh ...
I'm afraid of overpopulation.
I don't want to die of suffocation.
The world is full of pollution.
And Jesus is the solution.
He said we're gettin' near the end, and I'm as close as you are.
If you take Jesus as a friend, you're gonna' be a big star.
Star that shiness in the sky above, a light you cannot sever.
You will be with him above, and you will shine forever.
Shine forever.
Ahhh ...
He trys to be with me.
He's tryin to set me free.
He wants to be with you.
So you won't have to die.

Top Grand Funk Railroad, SIN'S A GOOD MAN'S BROTHER

Ain't seen a night, things work out right, go by.
Things on my mind, and I just don't have the time, and it don't seem right.
Ain't seen a day, that I don't hear people say, they know they're gonna' die.
This may seem a little bit crazy, but I don't think you should be so lazy.
If you think you've heard this before, well, stick around I'm gonna' tell you more.
One just like the other, sin's a good man's brother, but is that right?
You tell me that I don't, then I say I won't, but then I might.
You said this is the way it's supposed to be, but it just don't seem right to me, and that's outta' sight.
Some folks need an education, don't give up, or we'll loose the nation.

Someone is waiting just outside the door, to take you away.
Everybody knows just what he's there for, to take you away.

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Nothing Is The Same

When I was feeling 'bout sixteen, I never had no idea.
Listen to me if you want to know what I mean, your expression will let me see.
I never knew what I was looking for, I never had the time.
And now that time has opened up my door, now I'm looking forward just to see what, just what's mine.
When I was feeling 'bout eighteen, it's then when I began to see.
No matter how hard you push on the door, it won't open without the key.
Opportunity only knocks once, if you shut it out it's a sin.
And when something keeps right on poundin', then, my friend, you'd better let it in.
Now I feel just a little bit old and, sadness fills my brain.
I can flash to future years and nothing is the same.
Nothing is the same.
Nothing is the same.
Nothing is the same.

But the rain kept fallin' on my window pane.
Out of the night the thunder rang in my ear.
I can't fight the feelin', Lord, that brings forth my fears.
I wish it was over, Lord, please stop the rain.
The rain that's fallin' on my window pane.
The rain that's fallin' on my window pane.
Every night the rain's on time, I can feel it in this heart of mine.
But I don't know what to do.
Well, I guess I could go back home, 'cause you know back home is where I belong.
But it just ain't home without you.
And I don't know what to do, baby.
Well, I guess I'm a looser but it just don't seem fair.
I lost all my life so tell me, why should I care?
The night that you left me is the night that it came.
And the rain's still fallin' on my window pane.
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
You know the rain.

I said the rain.

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Save The Land

Look out for the land rush, it's coming day by day.
Said, get ready for the land rush, it's headed right your way.
Look what you're paying, to live on your land,
And most folks don't even have some, but I don't understand.
CHORUS
Spread the news across the land, and just do the best you can,
All we've got is just the land; Take a stand, save the land.
Sometimes I sit here thinking, but all the answers just don't appear.
I'm calling to my brothers and sisters, let's get together and kill this fear.
There ain't really gonna' be much to it. We can control the thing if we try.
With just a little more understanding, the whole world will get by.
CHORUS
CHORUS

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Please Me

Five million guys have tried to reduce her,
To another girl out in the street.
All those pretty eyes, have lied to seduce her,
But they come crawlin' back at her feet.
Too many times, I've seen them abuse her,
Just like the times I've been deceived.
The touch of her starlight makes me happy,
I can see her shinin' through in my dreams.
And I wake up cryin' ...
CHORUS
Please me ...
Please me, baby.
Please me ...
Please me out of my he... eaeaea... ad.
Please me, baby.
Everybody's been a toy for someone,
So take me if you want to play.
Tease me even if it's only for fun,
And let me play the game on another day.
CHORUS
Please me, baby.
Please me, baby.
Please me, baby.
Please me baby, please me baby ... yeah,
Please me, baby.
Please me baby, please ...
Please me, baby.
Please me, baby.

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Politician

Chorus
Mr. politician please don't deceive us.
Mr. politician you're there to relieve us.
Just how can we tell, mister,
When to believe in you.
Oh won't you tell me oh who we're lookin' out for?
Mr. politician could be perfect but people it's doubtful.
We want a leader who'll fight for the people.
We want somebody to take us to the steeple.
We'd like to point him out to you people,
But don't look now.
Chorus
We want a leader of the people,
We want him honest, not deceitful.
We want an angel in the public eye,
And we won't give it up lord until we die.

Pass It Around
I wish I had a place to stay in L.A. for a week or so.
I feel like bein' jive, hangin' out, maybe go to Mexico.
'Cause dreamin', baby, that's the way I wanna' be.
Just wanna' sit in a tree, sail out to sea, live like some fantasy, ahh baby.
'Cause I'm tired of thinkin', and too much drinkin', all my troubles away.
Tired of goin' to get layed at the lost and found.
Tired of dealin' with love hurt feelings, and all I got to say,
In view of all that's been goin' down,
I think I'll go on out and pass it around.
I wonder why I'm doin', what I've been doin' for a while.
Can't say it's the money, no, so maybe it's the style.
'Cause dreamin', baby, that's the way that I like it.
Just wanna' get on a plane, go some place insane, throw myself one real good fit.
'Cause I'm tired of thinkin', and too much drinkin', all my troubles away.
Tired of goin' to get layed at the lost and found.
Tired of dealin' with love hurt feelings, and all I got to say,
In view of all that's been goin' down,
I think I'll go on out and pass it around.
I think I'll go on out and pass it around.
Listen to me baby.
Pass it around.
I think I'll go on out and pass it around.
I want to pass it around.
I want to get on out and pass it around.
I want to pass it around.
'Cause I'm tired of thinkin', and too much drinkin', all my troubles away.
I want to pass it around.
Tired of goin' to get layed at the lost and found.
I think I'll go on out and pass it around.
Tired of dealin' with love hurt feelings, and all I got to say,
I want to pass it around.
In view of all that's been goin' down,
I think I'll go on out and pass it around.

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Grand Funk

If somebody tells you "look out boy,"
"that stuff you're doin' is way too strong."
Pay them no mind, just give 'em time,
Keep your head, you can't do no wrong.
Chorus
Please don't worry, 'bout no jury,
There's so many, of us anyway.
If somebody tries to bust you,
'cause you had their daughter late last night.
Don't get me wrong, but, you must be strong,
And, you just can't get uptight.
Chorus
If somebody says you look funny,
'cause the way you dress, to them, ain't right.
Say "hey, can't you see, you look funny to me? "
"but, I'm just tryin' to be polite."

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Phoenix

Feelin' kind of down 'cause I needed some female company. Suddenly I felt this pair of eyes starin' at me. She got to move me, she got the soul, Never should have told me she was only fourteen years old. How was I to know?
She said ... CHORUS Get it up baby, don't you want me to shake that thing? Get it up baby, drive me crazy, I'll do anything. Get it up baby, I came even to make you say, shake that thing.
Oooo ...
Make me want to yell, make me want to shout, make me want to scream. I didn't have to fantasize, she made me dream. She got to move me, she got the soul, Her eyes could tantalize for fourteen years old. How was I to know?
She said ... CHORUS
Owww ...

Top Grand Funk Railroad, Grand Funk Lives

Top Grand Funk Railroad, What's Funk?

We find our way by moonlight
Life in outer space
Must you leave the planet
Now we're tryin' to save the human race
I was so carefree
But that was then and I am older now
The future sits upon my shoulders now
I must preserve my family
Before there's nothing left to be
There's no place left to run
We ride this ship that's powered by the sun
In search of hope and life for everyone
We might return to earth someday
When all this smoke is cleared away
Find our way by moonlight
Life in outer space
Must you leave the planet, yeah
Now we're tryin' to save the human race
Life in outer space
Life in outer space
There's still a memory
Of what the life on earth's supposed to be
Oh, but they didn't leave it up to me
We might return to earth someday
When all this smoke is cleared away
Life in outer space

Mark: We ... we have a new album out, it was released the fifteenth. It's called Closer To Home. We'd like to do one ... we'd like to do one from the album. Ah ..., but before we do, I feel that ah ..., I have to tell you something because I know that if you were in my place that you would do it for me.
Mark: Ah ... brothers and sisters, there are people out there that look just like you or maybe ah ..., your brother ah ..., but they're not. And, when they hand you something, don't take it -- don't take it, okay?
