Danish people or Danes are the nation and ethnic group that is native to Denmark, and who speak Danish.
The first mention of Danes within the Danish territory is on the Jelling Rune Stone which mentions how Harald Bluetooth converted the Danes to Christianity in the 10th century. Denmark has been continuously inhabited since this period and although much cultural and ethnic influence and immigration from all over the world has entered Denmark since then, Danes tend to see themselves as ethnic descendents of the early Danes mentioned in the sources.
Since the formulation of a Danish national identity in the 19th century the defining criteria for being Danish has been speaking the Danish language and identifying with Denmark as a homeland. Danish national identity was built on a basis of peasant culture and Lutheran theology, theologian N. F. S. Grundtvig and his popular movement played a prominent part in the process.
Today the main criterion for being considered a Dane is having Danish citizenship, although also people with a Danish ancestral or ethnic identity, living outside of Denmark such as emigrants, descendants of emigrants or members of the Danish ethnic minority in Southern Schleswig, can be considered Danes under a wider definition taking into consideration cultural self-identification.
This is a list of well known Danes.
It's a cold world, sometimes I feel all alone
It's a long road, that I'm rolling on
And I wonder, if I'm on the path I should have taken
And I'm still here, even though my heart is breakin'
Chorus: Someday I'm gonna find what I'm looking for
Someday I'll find my place in this world
Someday I'm gonna know why I'm here
When I find, what I'm looking for
It's a big old world, and sometimes I lose my way
But I keep searching, and I get closer every day
I can't look back, and I can't go back in time
I gotta move one, and leave the past behind
Don't expect too much from my poor old heart
You can blame the unforgiven for my scars
You might just be the best that I can find
But I can't seem.....
To forget the tears I've cried
Chorus: I don't know that I will ever love again
It's the price that I must pay for all my sins
Time has changed me and left me full of doubt
and my heart may be lost, never to be found
Once upon a time I did believe
In my true love that swept me off my feet
Then the winds of change swept him away
And left me drowning.....
In my pain
Her daddy raised tobacco
He was a hard workin' man
There was kindness in his smile
And there was strength in his hands
She can't remember much about him
Just his name makes her smile
He was supposed to live forever
And it was hard to say goodbye
Chorus: Some days are like a train
Gently rolling through a sleepy Southern town
Other days are filled with pain
Knowing she can't tell him just how much she loves him now
And she knows he knew she loved him
Still she aches for him to see what she's become
What gets her through the day,
Is knowing he is waiting there to meet her on the other side of home
She's a small town singer
Winning fans with her smile
She sings of tears and heartaches
And he is always on her mind
She steals the hearts of strangers
One song at a time
He never knew that much about her
He never got to see her sparkle in the lights
Chorus: Some days are like a train
Gently rolling through a sleepy Southern town
Other days are filled with pain
Knowing she can't tell him just how much she loves him now
And she knows he knew she loved him
Still she aches for him to see what she's become
What finally gets her through the day,
Is knowing he will hear her sing like an angel on the other side of home
Blew out the candles and made a wish
And I hoped it would come true
I had a feeling, that I was dreaming
When I wished for you
Chorus: I wish that you were here
I wish you could see my tears
And I wish I was on your mind,
But if wishes were horses, dreamers would ride
Tossed a penny, in the well
And I closed my eyes
I told no one, what I wished for
When I wished that you were mine
Chorus: I wish that you were here
I wish you could see my tears
And I wish you missed me tonight
But if wishes were horses, dreamers would ride
Made a wish upon a star
As the sun went down
Like the star I'd be in Heaven
If you were with me now
Chorus: I wish that you were here
I wish you could see my tears
And I wish I was on your mind,
Have you ever, felt the sting of a broken heart?
Were you watching, while your whole world fell apart?
Have you wondered, how things might have been?
But aint it funny?
When loves comes back again
Have you mastered,
The art of looking strong?
When you're dying, but you never let it show
Have you pretended, you're the best you've ever been?
But aint it funny?
When love comes back again
Chorus: All those nights you spent alone
With the moonlight climbing in
Many days of feeling low
Then suddenly, you're standing tall when love comes back again
Have you ever lost your faith of finding love?
and have you questioned, the reasons from above?
Were you aching, watching strangers holding hands?
But aint it funny?
When you find love again
I used to cry over you
I lost my heart and there was nothin' I could do
I couldn't smile when you would leave
If you were mad I couldn't find the strength to breathe
I used to pine for what we had
I woke up hurtin' in my heart for you so bad
A stronger love had never been
I used to miss you and all the times we spent
Not anymore, not now, you tore my heart out
Gave me up and brought me down
You set me free, walked out the door
I used to need you to be happy, not anymore
Time heals everything
You almost killed me when you left and now I sing
I think of you now and then
But you'll never get the chance to break my heart again
Not anymore, not now, you tore my heart out
Gave me up and broke me down
And now I'm free, now I'm sure
I used to think I really loved you
He goes out at night, comes home when he wants to
Nobody to tell him what to do, yeah
He drinks 'til the doors close
Brings another girl home
In the morning light, his tears fall again
Chorus: Every day, haunted by what might have been
When night time falls he ties one on again
He chose to have his parties and his friends and a life of sin
How much fun it is for him
Coulda settled down, coulda had a family
But he broke her heart, with all his lies
She lay there dreamin', he sits there drinkin'
The life of the crowd, drownin' his troubles away
You will never settle down
You'll be ramblin' all around
'Til they put you in the cold, hard ground
You will never settle down
You got leavin' on your mind
You leave me lonesome all the time
Grass is greener on the other side
You got leavin' on your mind
Chorus: I can't change you, so I won't even try
You don't want me now but you'll be lonesome down the line
You ain't never gonna change
Not a thing can make you stay
It ain't nothing but a crying' shame
You ain't never gonna change
You aint' never comin' home
You always got someplace to go
You've been travelin' like a rolling stone
You aint never comin' home
There is nothing I can do
Whoever loves you is a fool
Cause your love is just too good to be true
There is nothing I can do
I wanna be with you, when the day is done
I wanna be with you, when the flowers come
I wanna be with you, when the leaves turn brown
I wanna be with you, when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
I wanna ride with you, in the summer wind
I wanna hold your hand, and be your friend
I wanna run with you, in the August rain,
And make you laugh, and make you stay
Will you stay?
Chorus: So sad but true,
There's no time to lose
Forever just aint long enough for me, to be with you
I want a warm embrace, in the winter snow
I want a morning kiss, before you go
I wanna sit with you, on a mountainside
And walk with you by the ocean, late at night,
Late at night
I wanna dream with you, when the moon is high
And when you're away, I wanna be on your mind
I wanna be with you, when thunder falls
And hold you close, 'til the rain is gone
'til the rain is gone
That sad old train
Sleepin' on an old rusty track
She was from another time
Gone with the wind like the smoke from that old stack
She brought smiles and wavin' hands
As she whistled by a sleepy town
It was once the way to go
Just a shiny nickel and you were homeward bound
And I?ve seen better days like that sad old train
On an old abandoned track
When you were holdin' me, I knew someday you?d leave
Like that old train, you won?t be comin' back
She gently rumbled in the sunshine
As she carried home the mail
Her letters keepin' lovers waitin'
And friendly little boys placin' pennies on her rails
I can relate to that old train
Since you left me all alone again
And no one ever comes around
Once upon a time we were ridin' on the wind
I?ve seen better days like that old sad train
On an old forgotten track
When you were holdin' me, I knew someday you?d leave
Like that old train, you won?t be comin' back
Should I leave, should I stay?
Should I try to walk away?
From you tonight
Without a fight
Like a wound that will not heal
I cannot change the way I feel
For you tonight
Oh, how I?ve tried
Too many tear drops, too many heartaches
Too many pieces on the floor
Too much is broken, too much was taken
Too many things I can't ignore
I just can?t love you anymore
Should we give it one more try
Even though it?s just a lie
We tell ourselves
Just one more time
I forgot the reasons why
You once were always on my mind
I think it?s time
To say goodbye
Too many tear drops, too many heartaches
Too many pieces on the floor
Too much is broken, too much was taken
Too many things I can't ignore
I just can?t love you anymore
Too many tear drops, too many heartaches
Too many pieces on the floor
Too much is broken, too much was taken
Too many things I can't ignore
I just can?t love you anymore
On a trading path, through the Carolinas
Used by Indians who braved the wind and rain
They settled down beside the raging waters
And they worked the land until the white men came
And formed the counties
And they took away their land
And made the boundaries
Governed with a heavy hand
And you can almost hear the song
Of that old Indian longing for his home
Along the waters edge
Climbing mountains to escape
The laws of white men
Walking softly in the rain and talking to the wind
They were friendly and they rode on painted horses
Fearing no one, not harming anything
They were trusting when the pilgrims came to live here
And then they died by the hands of the men
Who formed the counties
And they took away their land
And made the boundaries
Governed with a heavy hand
And you can almost hear that sad song
Of that old Indian crying for his home
Along the waters edge
Climbing mountains to escape
The laws of white men
Walking softly in the rain and talking to the wind
They were trusting when they taught us how to live here
And then they scattered to the wind, leaving only tears behind them
And an old forgotten art
And all their memories, dying with a broken heart
And you almost hear the song
Of that old Indian longing for his home
Along that waters edge
Climbing mountains to escape
The laws of white men
I used to see my Daddy every day
He used to race me in the Carolina sun
Back when he was a young man
And he could plow the fields until the day was done
Mama played piano for the choir
Every Sunday afternoon she cooked my favorite things
After church we rode a dozen miles
On old forgotten pathways, now overgrown with trees
Chorus: Home is not the same place that it was
Time goes by andchanges everything
I left so many things behind me
My favorite things I took away
Were my memories and my dreams
Everything I rode would fly
In the woods by the river, and through the fields of hay
Stirring dust and making noise
Across a homemade finish line now lost and gone away
Remember that old dog we used to have
Laying on the front porch when it rained
Sometimes I really miss my old best friend
Buried over in the field where we used to play
I don?t know
Where or when it was over
And I?ll try not to cry
One more time on your shoulder
You were mine
And yours is all I wanted to be
In your eyes
I found all I wanted to see
One last time, won?t you hold me?
Take my hand, dance with me slowly
Tonight I?ll be yours if only
One more time
We were wild
Every moment we longed to be together
We shared our dreams
And a faithful promise of forever
What once was love has faded into memories
And closes like a door
All this time I needed you and something changed
I don?t need you anymore
One last time, won?t you hold me?
Take my hand, dance with me slowly
Tonight I?ll be yours if only
We were reckless wild and free
It was like a crazy dream
When I found my way to you
We both had so much to lose
We broke so many hearts
We tried to be apart
We wasted so much time
We even tried to say goodbye
Chorus: You were not mine,
But I took you anyway
From her side,
And I caused her so much pain
I f I could change,
Anything I've done,
I'd just stay lonely even though my selfish heart has found a home
We cried so many tears in vain
We only had ourselves to blame
We lied to everyone
Now everything is said and done
Many restless nights ago
We tried to let it go
Things will never be the same
and no one knows the price we've paid
Chorus: You were not mine,
But I took you anyway
From her side,
And I caused her so much pain
I f I could change,
Anything I've done,
You placed your hand in mine
And I saw you smile
We walked for a while
Until the sun disappeared behind
I love to hear you sing
The way you laugh at me
We sat in that old swing,
And you say you'll never leave
Chorus: Then I woke up, It was just a dream
You are not here, I think I'll go right back to sleep
You looked so real to me
You made me believe
That I was all you'd need
And you set my poor heart free
You told me you were mine
We left the past behind
No more lonely nights and
I was happy for a while
Lying in my bed, I hear
The clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights almost left behind
Suitcases of memories, time after
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me
I can't hear what you've said
Then you say go slow, I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you and I'll be waiting
I can't erase the miles or the lines on my face
There's no need for me to wonder where I might have been
I can't get nowhere without this lonesome road
andI can't remember what happened to my friends
Chorus: This lonesome highway and the wasted miles I've gone
Lonesome highway, leads away from home and tomorrow
I'll be here again
On this lonesome highway, where I've never been
I can't cross the river without bridges that I've burned
I'll have to go an extra mile to find a different way
I keep on riding on this lonesome road
I can't remember where I was yesterday
Chorus: This lonesome highway and the wasted miles I've gone
Lonesome highway, leads me back to home and tomorrow
I'll be here again
Loaded up the car and said goodbye
Looked at that old school one last time
No more homework and tears
And I'll miss the friends that I made here
Chorus: But I'm almost home, where they meet you with a smile and open arms
I'm almost home, where you never see a stranger and folks know who you are
I'm almost home, where I'll be welcomed like a star
I've been waiting for the day and I've been dreaming of your face
and I'm almost home
Went to serve his country far away
In a land where all the skies were grey
Letters froze the pain in time
Late at night he wrote while he cried
I'm almost home, where they meet you with a smile and open arms
I'm almost home, where you never see a stranger and folks know who you are
I'm almost home, where I'll be welcomed like a star
I'll be waiting for the day and I'll be dreaming of your face
and Im almost home
She saw her father in the room
She said her time was coming soon
I couldn't see him anywhere
But I knew she saw him standing there
She was smiling up at me
She put her hand on my knee
Took a breath and closed her eyes
She was singing while I cried
I'm almost home, where my Savior waits with open arms
I'm almost home, where I'll never meet a stranger and loved ones never part
I'm almost home, where I'll be welcomed like a star
I've been waiting for the day and I've been dreaming of your face
Young and handsome, star of the team
That all the young guys simply wanted to be
Girls dreamed about him when they thought he had it all
He got wound in trouble then, the star began to fall
Fell into drinkin' blew his college chance away
Left her on her own, couldn't face the life he made
And all his promises would soon turn into lies
She never made him happy and he never made her cry
And he drank to kill the trouble on his mind
He couldn't face the future or the ones he left behind
Everyday was more lonely than the last
And he only found forgiveness in the bottom of the glass
He started runnin' with the wrong kind of crowd
And started sleepin' on the wrong side of town
Then as time went on, he tried so hard to change
But he always left her cryin', she could never make him stay
One lonely night with tears on his face
He raised his glass and his life slipped away
Just a memory, once like a dream
Everyone looked down at the star of the team
And he drank to forget about the past
And all he ever wanted was what he couldn't have
Everyday was more lonely than the last
But he finally found forgiveness in the bottom of the glass
She kept the beds made and stayed there all alone
Washed her clothes and hung them out to dry
Did things the same old way and though her kids were gone
She kept the lights on in their room at night
She kept the dust away until she could no more
And the house was sold and everything inside
And all her treasures were not worth much at all
Always happy, she had never questioned why
And everything she owned was scattered to the wind
Sold at auction on a sunny autumn day
It took a lifetime to find all the things she wanted
And a day for all those hands to come and carry them away
Her daughter closed the door and looked back one last time
She could feel her mother's eyes
Watching down on her just like years ago
From her window at the kitchen, as a child
Those summer nights seemed like they would never end
And she remembered how her mama prayed for rain
Where did all that time go and leave me here
To face the world without my mama in the rain?
And everything she owned was scattered to the wind
Sold at auction on a sunny autumn day
It took a lifetime to find all the things she wanted
And a day for all those hands to come and carry them away
And everything she owned was scattered to the wind
Sold at auction on a sunny autumn day
It took a lifetime to find all the things she wanted
And a day for all those hands to come and carry them away
Remember when it was fun, to stay up all night long
We stayed out in the sun, until those summer days were gone
Remember dressing fine, for a crazy hometown Friday night
We'd get a little wild, come Sundays we were back in line
Chorus: Remember me I'm laughing..... crazy, young and wild and free
Remember me I'm dancing .......and times are changing but I'm still the same old me
Remember when it was fun, to write a little note to your best friend
About the one who stole your heart , and what was going down on the weekend
Remember when it was fun, to sit around in the pouring rain
To see the one that stole your heart, stand around the field at the football game
Chorus
Remember when it was fun, to ride up and down on the same old street
Getting lost and holding hands 'til you found a little movie on the drive-in screen
Remember when we were young, watching that clock 'til the weekend
Played the radio way too loud and dance like a fool with your best friends
Chorus: Remember me, I drove you crazy and we were wild and free
It's a cold world, sometimes I feel all alone
It's a long road that I'm rollin' on
And I wonder, if I'm on the path I should have taken
And I'm still here, even though my heart is breakin'
Someday I'm gonna find what I'm lookin' for
Someday I'll find my place in this world
Someday I'm gonna know why I'm here
When I find what I'm lookin' for
It's a big old world and sometimes I lose my way
But I keep searchin' and I get closer every day
I can't look back and I can't go back in time
I gotta move on and leave the past behind
Someday I'm gonna find what I'm lookin' for
Someday I'll find my place in this world
Someday I'm gonna know why I'm here
When I find what I'm lookin' for
Someday I'm gonna find what I'm lookin' for
Someday I'll find my place in this world
Someday I'm gonna know why I'm here
A man in the parking lot, down on his luck
Came and asked if I could spare a few bucks
I shoulda helped him, I shoulda cared
So before I fell asleep I said a little prayer
He must have no one to stand behind his dreams
No matter how crazy they seem
He must be scared, and alone
Begging for a dollar, searching for a home
Chorus: Without a family like mine
To turn to when you don't have a dime
Or a friend he could call
And I think he's lost, I think he's lost.....his way home
He may have talent and a dream he could chase
He may be a genius whose simply lost his way
I coulda helped him, I shoulda cared
I hope he finds a nice warm bed out there
He may have gone to Sunday School
In nice clothes and brand new shoes
Something happened along the way
For him to be alone, lost and afraid
I've waited all my life to find that special someone
Someone I could call my own
Someone to stick by me through good times and bad
No more playing games, I'd never be alone
Someone stole my heart and then he ran away
I gave the best I had to give
I need somebody whose not in it for the taking
Someone who needs me as long as we will live
Chorus: But I can't, win for losin'
Tired of giving everything sonow I'm giving in
Cause I can't, win for losin'
I don't need no one to break my heart again
There's nothing greater than someone by your side
Under the full moon and stars
But if all they wanna do is cause you pain,
You're better off alone
Without a broken heart
No matter what I do to try to make love stay
I just can't seem to win
I'd climb a mountain and swim across the sea
Just to find my heart in pieces once again
Miles of highway between me and my home
I think about you, when it rains and I'm alone
Another day, another memory, the sun disappears
Another morning without you and I cry another tear
What I want might not make me happy
What I do might bury me
What I'm chasing might not ever happen
And it might not set me free
Anything you decide to take for granted
Is just the same as letting go
The hardest thing you'll ever do is find you something
That makes you happy and knowing how and when to hold on
It's taken so long to get where I am
And I've got a long way to get where I wanna stand
Sometimes I'm crazy for the things that I believe
Have I done the best I can, is this the best that I can be?
What I want might not make me happy
What I do might bury me
What I'm chasing might not ever happen
And it might not set me free
Anything you decide to take for granted
Is just the same as letting go
The hardest thing you'll ever do, is find you something
The wind is blowing, through the pines
Always stealing from me, Father Time
Taking from me, what was never mine
One more day, one more night
Always longing for the past
Taking for granted, the time at hand
Every moment like shifting sand
Leaving weary, the strongest man
Many fortunes have been gained and lost
Upon the ocean, many ships have crossed
Many brilliant souls have lived and died
At the hands of Father Time
I?m not promised another day
Still I?m reckless and time I waste
All my tears cried in vain
Gaining wisdom as beauty fades
Gaining wisdom as beauty fades
Many seasons have now come and gone
Fleeting memories overwhelm my soul
And as the hands of fate, twist and unwind
Hey little bluebird, how are you?
Is it fun to fly in a sky of blue?
Is it fun to sit and keep an eye on me?
As much as I enjoy to watch you in the summer breeze
Hey little bluebird, why do you stay?
Through all the months of winter and all the snowy days?
Why don 't you fly where the sun is warm for you?
When it's cold outside what do you do?
Chorus: Where have you been?
Where do you go?
Flying in the sun
Flying in the snow
You're so lovely and I'm glad you're here
My little bluebird
Hey little bluebird on my window sill
When the sky is grey, how do you feel?
Are you lonely, do you sing a little song?
Do you ever cry when you're alone?
How high can you fly? Do you ever lose your way?
Where do you hide when you're afraid?
Does your little heart ever break like mine?
Do you have a friend you think about at night?
When I was young, my grandma lived two hours away
When I first learned to write, I had a lot to say
I wrote her a letter every week
She couldn?t wait to get them, she couldn?t wait to see
What I was doing and all about my friends
What I was dreaming, places I had been
What I was hoping that I could be some day
I wrote it in my letters and I mailed them all away
She always wrote me back, every single week
And how I loved to get her letters from the time I could read
Years later I was going through her things
And I found all the letters, she had saved for me
When she went to Heaven, I cried so many tears
But she?s here in these letters, after all these years
What she was doing and all about her friends
What she was dreaming, places she had been
What she had hoped for and things she?d like to see
She wrote it in her letters and she mailed them off to me
Couldn't stand all the pain, you caused, love was gone
I know you didn't mean to hurt me, but you were cold ,
like a stone
I didn't wanna see, a day without you
Chorus: and I'll move on, I'll never see you again
I'll be strong, I'm gonna ride the wind
The rain is gone, andthe sun is my friend
and I'll remember you
Everyone kept telling me, to find another heart
Nobody knows, how long and how hard
I tried
and I believed in you
Ashe's on the moon I'm frozen over you scratches yeah, yeah
I've been forsaken my guts already ache feels like treason
My soul's about to break so frozen over you, frozen.
Blood is on the sun with ashes on the moon
What's done is done I ain't over you the blood is on the sun
And I'll catch twenty two what's done is done we look it up.
Ashes on the moon, I'm frozen over you scratches yeah, yeah
I'm prayin' that ya think of me with lava on the rocks
Blind with light dark as the sea we sifted through the knocks
Anchors away for predators less the scurvy lot
O six hundred settin' sail the lovers of the land to rot.
Cross bones... vacation, red flag is a murder bath,
The black flag... submit. We can't live like the rest
The seven seas have ruined us export, imports, we implore
To get we thirst a bloody mess. The wenches of Liberia
Turned five men into moss the capetown cannibals?
For lunch, ate twelve of us. Contracted out of the Salem Yard
On the worthiest ship afloat plagued with the yellow fever
Men are dyin' to fill the note. Fifty five suns to Belguay
Half the crew is lost a love cargo boat in Belgota boy's
We don't belong in Huntington don't associate us with Huntington
Beach Night Moves and the Rhino Room brought them all here now
the Offspring Korn kids claim. The pier is just a mall,
downtown is really gone mix a prison with a gym a lot of squares
with flares and long hair, I, II, III Nuke H.B., alternative,
surf city is a sewage tank this beach is gonna sink,
What do you when they're dead cuz' when yer dead
I won't know why 'til we meet again
'cuz when yer dead the morning wakes full of phoney friends
'cuz when yer dead ya won't come back to the rose you left
'cuz when yer dead ya closed that book on a page unread.
Ellen of the Netherlands a soul inside of the paint you left
Ellen of the Netherlands your eyes they light up the skies
don't close your eyes.
Say hello to Jak and Pat to Joel, Bill, Todd and Brit.
I know that your lookin' after the kids they never had a chance
a picture falls off the wall in the hall
I know that yer the wind blessed passage on you
Nine hours on a stop watch behind me
Fourteen hours on a jet airplane
Been hangin' on to the coin ya gave.
She couldn't wait to send me away kickin' rocks to the grave
Raw raw rocks to the grave. I can't even say,
Babe you mean to me the rum's in the way and it belongs to me
Our ropes a thread and it's ready to break.
I stink of piss and drink for days she used to put
Her loving arms around me this old soul's runnin' empty.
Back from the Bar I kick and shout that's when Christmas lights
Went out the neighbors called the called, the cops got me now.
She sent me away on a jet airplane before I left she threw the keys
At me I'm taken my problems over seas
They'll fuck you once they'll fuck you twice
Lord walks upon the eggshells we've fallen through the ice
Hot and cold was on the ocean floor
Doctor pressure's good because somebody popped the cork
Less racounteers and roomy camps
Would be fast asleep dirty tell our visions got amera nightmare
They're voting no they're voting yeah
We stored at night pick your pockets till you get
This is dumb front this is the back
Last we take away your guns so we cannot attack
Hot and cold was on the ocean floor
Doctor pressure's good because somebody popped the cork
Less racounteers and roomy camps
Would be fast asleep dirty tell our visions got amera nightmare
Our overcrowded prisons and the city tells it back
Freedom slave labor solved the money's on the rack
Leaders that we ball up like you
Gallows would be lad
Last we take it back we'll be there and our broken necks
Last we take it back we'll be there and our broken necks
Take it back
Take it back
Take it back
Hot and cold was on the ocean floor
Doctor pressure's good because somebody popped the cork
Less racounteers and roomy camps
Would be fast asleep dirty tell our visions got amera nightmare
Nightmare
Nightmare
Nightmare
Nightmare
You're a nightmare
You're a nightmare
You're a nightmare
It's not gonna happen it's all over now always in doubt,
Always flappin' the mouth the man that couldn't can't.
It's the pitch of the wrench he's the hub with broken spokes
It's the pitch of the wrench an apple who spoils the bunch
A spoiled apple! la la la la la la la la la la-ha, ha!
There ain't nothin' good with him the new chairman of the board
It's the monotoned dumd newly clone dome,
Who's there to pull the rug look!
All you need!
All you need!
Buy me a bucket of sand,
Put it in a paper bag.
Finances invested,
I'm saving for the Brooklyn Bridge.
Tanks of used oxygen
Trousers from a fancy lad.
Hot air of a billionaire
Love 'n' hate we need,
Love 'n' hate we breath
Got a letter from the d.m.v,
Letter from the I.r.s.
Climbing down the ladder of incareeration,
Is a violent load of shit!
Tanks of used oxygen
Trousers from a fancy lad.
Hot air of a billionaire
Love 'n' hate we need,
Love 'n' hate we bread
Hate an love
Love n hate
We need!
A couple dollars for a gallon gas
The cost of living makes me wanna piss,
I won't conform, I'm a piece of trash
Fuck the established!
Tanks of used oxygen
Trousers from a fancy lad.
Hot air of a billionaire
Love 'n' hate we need,
Love 'n' hate we bread
Love 'n' hate we bread
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
L.o.v.e h.a.t.e
Love n hate n the love n hate
Hate n love we breath
Tanks of used oxygen
Trousers from a fancy lad.
Hot air of a billionaire
Love 'n' hate we need,
Love 'n' hate we bread,
Love 'n' hate we bread,
Love 'n' hate,
All we need,
I ran and jumped off that cliff today started up that car
before it broke again the sky is gonna fall
I'm flooded by the sea hang outs are empty, everyone's to blame.
Swimmin' at the flats of Cleveland captain burns the day
cussin' at the senator, and his wife in Jersey
crawlin' every dive in Texas,
never big premiums all day for a buck,
tavern twin cities. Angels of Bowery ditch anthem memories
they've walked all over me-me,
I lost my place. I'm passin' out just passin' through.
I close my eyes, I dream of a better place
I hope heaven's doors ain't closed, I'll break and entry
the bar cop at Amato's she's mace in my face
Levis and leather jackets rebels with a cost the lost is never
Growing up like yer mom and pops hangin' with the Hunns fifty's
Immorality rockin' rollin' fun, break tradition we're the club,
Youth ain't a fountain, silver as a brat youth ain't a fountain
It's all in yer head we're gonna move mountains suck every minute
Youth college is for wasted years we've dropped out for life you
These Years of war upon myself have haunted me
Cowboys and actors have left me in the ditch my best to you and yers
I've got no dignity, kicked me in the head 'cuz I'm an Indian.
The Holy Ghost, a Birthday toast a broken nose,
Liver cirrhosed nobody wants to pick me up
I'm cold I'm all alone Yes,
I'm the bum you just kicked down the road.
Huckle Berry Finn and Tom Sawyer did me in Chuck and firewater
My only two companions Mutiny on the Bounty kept playin'
On the screen kick me in the head 'cuz I'm an Indian.
You know that I forgive, but won't forget there's nothing worse
Than being left for dead fuck the Governor and fuck the government
You'll know when ya know it and you'll hope when ya
Don't no one wants to show it and all the clouds that won't.
Do you see the camera do you see the video tape
Locked in a block of cement girl fast forward the play.
We're the used "expendable" useless news "it's horrible".
We're in the which way, were in the meat ya waste
We're int he which way, we're history. Defense military man
He's got an excuse a uniform man in the promised land
Throwin' the die at youth. A shallow man in the deep end
Ya woke up in a curse a full list of rejection slips
Doom it's L.A. Doom he's got the boom box on stuckin his room
boom box stuck in his room box friends, I'm listening they keep me
in the kitchen washing dishes. Pain, name sakes the name just
Drink our blood come on and all
Slaves and stowaways
Spread the word amusnt the crew
Capital mutiny
We only break a solemn word
Drink up when we work
I swear by god, we’re cursed
Burn in hell, burn in in hell
(burn burn burn)
we’ll burn in hell, burn in hell
(burn burn burn)
The prisoners were navy men
all under calico jack
a loaded vessel with guns and ammo
stricked rations
We only break a solemn word
Drink up when we work
I swear by god, we’re cursed
Angry bowmen near do-wellers
Upper said class, born to sharks
Hang us high for 40 moons
And let the worst in this not worsen this
Not a woman alive that’s slept with I
Slept with us and lived
Scurvies scavies and disease
We got on the train from Bolum Germany
Me and a couple of mates, runnin' since yesterday
Drinkin' on the fast track, krooked on the straits
Those whack shack boys were gone out they ain't
Far enough away from me. Castles had the motes
Inside Bavarian walls hashed out in the cloaks,
A guide in the Russian hoods well I smell my destiny,
Peltin' me with batteries weather zero Celsians,
And not a word in edge. The Unity, I don't fit in their family!
The Unity, they can't get enough of me. Pubbed out in Hamburg,
I froze in the Paris ports
I got away from the border Duane's terminal U.S.A.
Wiped off that sidewalk war crimes of punk rock
Kick off that tour bus there ain't no Unity for me.
I was on the plane escape from Unity
Buy me a bugget of sand
Put it in a paper bag
Save it for the Brooklyn Bridge
Take some used oxygen
Love and hate
Hate and love
It's been on my mind such a long long time
And when I look back on you now
It's been all these years and I'm still doing fine
I was dead and you loved me somehow
We were feeling alone, but we were getting high
And when we laid down we made sense
We were moving along, but were we getting by?
Our love, it got lost in the end
So you can tear out my heart if you want it (hey, hey, hey)
We can still get it on yeah, if you want it (hey, hey, hey)
You'll be on my mind
You've been on my mind such a long long time
And when you look down on me now
Do you see his face and how it looks like mine
You gave me life when you lost it somehow
So you can tear out my heart if you want it (hey, hey, hey)
We can still get it on yeah, if you want it (hey, hey, hey)
If you wanna be on my mind
Don't come any closer 'cause I'm over you now (hey, hey, hey)
Don't care how I'm standing, I don't wanna know how
Don't come any closer 'cause I'm over you now (hey, hey, hey)
Don't care how I'm standing, I don't wanna know how
So you can tear out my heart if you want it (hey, hey, hey)
We can still get it on yeah, if you want it (hey, hey, hey)
If you wanna be on my mind
On my mind
If you wanna be on my mind
So you can tear out my heart if you want it
(I'm still doing fine)
We can still get it on yeah, if you want it
(you're always on my mind)
You can tell everyone
If you wanna be on my mind
On my mind
One business man, mans his business out of the way.
One lazy man, has time to think get him out of the way.
Device in a crisis, the price list to die the letters long
To number for the time will slip you by...
They'll keep you underneath the armpit of fear monitor'd emotions,
A board game is clear'd. Security's a number, a chip inside
Your skin uncompliant citizen, the state will take you in.
What's going on they hack us up in heaps what's going on
Unfair games for keeps. They've buried the key and tell you man
Yer free six feet down and out things ain't what they seem.
Go and kill yer brother cuz that's what they want
Two Popes are left China wants Jerusalem President Elect
Ballot boxes underhanded. The luner eclipse Mother Earth
Is shakin' fleas the dog's creepin' in animals are followin'
They've got yer friends under wraps by the government
We're close to the end yer just a man, ya can't predict.
Two thousand and ten, law none average washed up waters,
Last one on earth aliens, Nixon, Johnson,
Reagan all for one and all, assassination.
Roswell was no balloon Oswald was not alone
[Chorus x2]
[Tripp Locc]
Just came up and now its back to the homefront
the niggaz that I'm with decide to take a short cut
but that ain't me, bombed in and I'm trippin
gimme my half comrades and I seek dippin
cool, stay up is what I say as I slam the door
Its mobbin time make sure I tuck the fo-fo
hope to stroll dont take longer than expected
being on these snake ass streets it can get hectic
see some hoes makin that green
jacked by the dope fiends doin bad with they eyes on beam
prolly gonna do some devilish deeds for the next hit
24 hours for them they gotta stay lit
bust a left through the alley stayin off the main street
quiet as hell that I can hear my heartbeat
[Chorus x2]
4 Eyes 2 heads
Which one could it be
Its like this your mistaken I didn't do
[Wayniac]
Here comes a darkness now the clouds roll in, so why
am I paranoid maybe because I'm too high
I'm seein shit, thinkin shit like in a vision
but can't pinpoint the real evil am I gettin
close got the on post up, hold up
for them hookers that be lookin like toe up from the floor up
for rockin definites amounts to cock
but still it dont change the reason why they wanna plot, but got the knot
I make ya do what ya wanna do
when ya wanna do unto others, as others do unto you
is it a sin or a shame, who is to blame
no one should ever have to feel the strain on the brain
mo pain and grief, do I retreat to a deep sleep
or listen to the voice as it speaks
[Chorus x2]
[Tripp Locc]
Almost out the alley headlights hit my face
fuck its the po po got the strap so I'm break
hit the gate, be smart and do no stupid shit
thinkin like a G!! in this predicament
I'm bonin across PCH and I'm safe
the cut by the wall is open ghetto version late
another day, another time perhaps
but for now, I gotta be free to make my snaps
whole lot of traps to dodge when you're broke and when you're large
keepin it real the Black Panther charge
I never let em hold me back
wassup cool cat (wassup mane) I see my homey give him dap
and tell him what fun I had with the one times
plus my mission, he's mad cuz he missed it
ain't no thang it was a job and adventure
coulda got twisted tonight but I got wit ya
