All you folks think you own my life But you never made any sacrifice Demons they are on my trail I'm standing at the crossroads of the hell I look to the left I look to the right There're hands that grab me on every side All you folks think I got my price At which I'll sell all that is mine You think money rules when all else fails Go sell your soul and keep your shell I'm trying to protect what I keep inside All the reasons why I live my life Some say the devil be a mystical thing I say the devil he a walking man He a fool he a liar conjurer and a thief He try to tell you what you want Try to tell you what you need Standing at the point The road it cross you down What is at your back Which way do you turn Who will come to find you first Your devils or your gods All you folks think you run my life Say I should be willing to compromise I say all you demons go back to hell I'll save my soul save myself |

All the bridges that you burn Come back one day to haunt you One day you'll find you're walking Lonely Baby I Never meant to hurt you Sometimes the best intentions Still don't make things right But all my ghosts they find me Like my past they think they own me In dreams and dark corners they surround me Till I cry I cry Let me take this time to set the record straight Let me take this time to take it all back Let me take this time to tell you how I felt Let me take this time to try and make it right All the bridges that you burn Come back one day to haunt you One day you'll find you're walking Lonely But you can Walk away Be all alone Spend all your time Thinking about the way things used to be If love feels right You work it out You don't give it up Baby Anybody tell you that Anybody tell you that Anybody tell you that You should take some time maybe sleep on it tonight You should take some time baby hear the words I said You should take some time think about your life You should take some time before you throw it all away All the bridges that you burn Come back one day to haunt you One day you'll find you're walking Lonely I ain't got the time To sit here and wait around But I got the time If you say I'm what you want All the bridges that you burn Come back one day to haunt you One day you'll find you're walking Lonely |

They throwed him in jail And they kept him there Hoping soon he'd die That his body and spirit would waste away And soon after that his mind But every day is born a fool One who thinks that he can rule One who says tomorrow's mine One who wakes one day to find The prison doors open the shackles broken And chaos in the street Everybody sing we're free free free free Everybody sing we're free free free free Everybody sing we're free free free free They throwed him in jail And they kept him there Hoping his memory'd die That the people forget how he once led And fought for justice in their lives But every day is born a man Who hates what he can't understand Who thinks the answer is to kill Who thinks his actions are god's will And he thinks he's free free free free Yes he thinks he's free free free free He thinks he's free free free free Soon must come the day When the righteous have their way Unjustly tried are free And people live in peace I say Give the man release Go on and set your conscience free Right the wrongs you made Even a fool can have his day Let us all be free free free free Let us all be free free free free Free our bodies free our minds Free our hearts Freedom for everyone And freedom now Freedom now Freedom now Let us all be free free free free Let us all be free free free free |

You and your sweet smile You and your tantalizing ways You and your honey lips You and all the sweet things that they say You and your wild wild ways One day you just up and walked away You left me hurting But I can forgive you for that now You taught me something Something took half my life to learn When you give all yourself away Just tell them to be careful of your heart Be careful of my heart, heart Be careful of this heart of mine Be careful of my heart, heart It just might break and send some splinters flying Be careful of my heart, heart Be careful You you you You you you You you you Took my love Thought you took it all You you you You you you You you you Took my love And now you're gone But I'm not breaking down And I'm not falling apart I just lost a little faith When you broke my heart Given a chance I might try it again But I wouldn't risk it all this time I'd save A little love for myself Enough for my heart to mend A little love for myself One day I just might love again One day some sweet smile might turn my head One day I just might give all myself away One day One day One day |

People say it doesn't exist 'Cause no one would like to admit That there is a city underground Where people live everyday Off the waste and decay Off the discards of their fellow man Here in subcity life is hard We can't receive any government relief I'd like to give Mr. President my honest regards For disregarding me They say there's too much crime in these city streets My sentiments exactly Government and big business hold the purse strings When I worked I worked in the factories I'm at the mercy of the world I guess I'm lucky to be alive Here in subcity life is hard We can't receive any government relief I'd like to give Mr. President my honest regards For disregarding me They say we've fallen through the cracks They say the system works But we won't let it Help I guess they never stop to think We might not just want handouts But a way to make an honest living Living this ain't living Here in subcity life is hard We can't receive any government relief I'd like to give Mr. President my honest regards For disregarding me What did I do to deserve this Had my trust in god Worked everyday of my life Thought I had some guarantees That's what I thought At least that's what I thought Here in subcity life is hard We can't receive any government relief I'd like to give Mr. President my honest regards For disregarding me Last night I had another restless sleep Wondering what tomorrow might bring Last night I dreamed A cold blue light was shining down on me I screamed myself awake Thought I must be dying Thought I must be dying Here in subcity life is hard We can't receive any government relief I'd like to give Mr. President my honest regards For disregarding me |

Don't you know
They're talkin' bout a revolution It sounds like a whisper Don't you know They're talkin' about a revolution It sounds like a whisper While they're standing in the welfare lines Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation Wasting time in the unemployment lines Sitting around waiting for a promotion Poor people gonna rise up And get their share Poor people gonna rise up And take what's theirs Don't you know You better run, run, run... Oh I said you better Run, run, run... Finally the tables are starting to turn Talkin' bout a revolution |

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Anyplace is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we’ll make something But me myself I got nothing to prove You got a fast car And I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We won’t have to drive too far Just ’cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living You see my old man’s got a problem He live with the bottle that’s the way it is He says his body’s too old for working I say his body’s too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody’s got to take care of him So I quit school and that’s what I did You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way So remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car And we go cruising to entertain ourselves You still ain’t got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You’ll find work and I’ll get promoted We’ll move out of the shelter Buy a big house and live in the suburbs So remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car And I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I’d always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans I ain’t going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped ’round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away You gotta make a decision You leave tonight or live and die this way |

Across the lines
Who would dare to go Under the bridge Over the tracks That separates whites from blacks Choose sides run for your lifes Tonight the riots begin On the back streets of america They kill the dream of america Little black girl gets assaulted Ain’t no reason why Newspaper prints the story And racist tempers fly Next day it starts a riot Knives and guns are drawn Two black boys get killed One white boy goes blind Across the lines Who would dare to go Under the bridge Over the tracks That separates whites from blacks Choose sides run for your lifes Tonight the riots begin On the back streets of america They kill the dream of america Little black girl gets assaulted Don’t no one know her name Lots of people hurt and angry She’s the one to blame Across the lines Who would dare to go Under the bridge Over the tracks That separates whites from blacks Choose sides run for your lifes Tonight the riots begin On the back streets of america They kill the dream of america |

Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do no good to call The police Always come late hey If they come at all Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do no good to call The police Always come late hey If they come at all And when they arrive They say they can't interfere With domestic affairs Between a man and his wife And as they walk out the door The tears well up in her eyes Last night I heard the screaming Then a silence that chilled my soul Prayed that I was dreaming When I saw the ambulance in the road And the policeman said 'I'm here to keep the peace Will the crowd disperse I think we all could use some sleep' Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won't do no good to call The police Always come late hey If they come at all |

The life I've always wanted
I guess I'll never have I'll be working for somebody else Until I'm in my grave I'll be dreaming of a live of ease And mountains Oh mountains o' things To have a big expensive car Drag my furs on the ground And have a maid that I can tell To bring me anything Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed I'll revel in their attention And mountains Oh mountains o' things Sweet lazy life Champagne and caviar I hope you'll come and find me Cause you know who we are Those who deserve the best in life And know what money's worth And those whose sole misfortune Was having mountains o' nothing at birth Oh they tell me There's still time to save my soul They tell me Renounce all Renounce all those material things you gained by Exploiting other human beings Consume more than you need This is the dream Make you pauper Or make you queen I won't die lonely I'll have it all prearranged A grave that's deep and wide enough For me and all my mountains o' things Mostly I feel lonely Good good people are Good people are only My stepping stones It's gonna take all my mountains o' things To surround me Keep all my enemies away Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay I'll be dreaming, dreaming... Dreaming |

She's got her ticket I think she gonna use it I think she going to fly away No one should try and stop her Persuade her with their power She says that her mind is made Up Why not leave why not Go away Too much hatred Corruption and greed Give your life And invariably they leave you with Nothing Young girl ain't got no chances No roots to keep her strong She's shed all pretenses That someday she'll belong Some folks call her a runaway A failure in the race But she knows where her ticket takes her She will find her place in the sun And she'll fly, fly, fly |

Why do the babies starve
When there's enough food to feed the world Why when there're so many of us Are there people still alone Why are the missiles called peace keepers When they're aimed to kill Why is a woman still not safe When she's in her home Love is hate War is peace No is yes And we're all free But somebody's gonna have to answer The time is coming soon Admidst all these questions and contradictions There're some who seek the truth But somebody's gonna have to answer The time is coming soon When the blind remove their blinders And the speechless speak the truth |

Two weeks in a Virginia jail
For my lover, for my lover Twenty thousand dollar bail For my lover, for my lover And everybody thinks That I'm the fool But they don't get Any love from you The things we won't do for love I'd climb a mountain if I had to Risk my life so I could have you You, you, you... Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed For my lover, for my lover They dope me up and I tell them lies For my lover, for my lover And everybody thinks That I'm the fool But they don't get Any love from you The things we won't do for love I'd climb a mountain if I had to Risk my life so I could have you You, you, you... I follow my heart And leave my head to ponder Deep in this love No man can shake I follow my heart And leave my mind to wonder Is this love worth The sacrifices I make? Two weeks in a Virginia jail For my lover, for my lover Twenty thousand dollar bail For my lover, for my lover Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed For my lover, for my lover They dope me up and I tell them lies For my lover, for my lover And everybody thinks That I'm the fool But they don't get Any love from you The things we won't do for love I'd climb a mountain if I had to Risk my life so I could have you You, you, you... |

If not now, then when?
If now today, Then, why make your promises? A love declared for days to come, Is as good as none. You can wait 'til morning comes. You can wait for the new day. You can wait and lose this heart. You can wait and soon be sorry. If not now, then when? If now today, Then, why make your promises? A love declared for days to come, Is as good as none. Now love's the only thing that's free. We must take it where it's found. Pretty soon it may be costly. 'Cause if not now, then when? If now today, Then, why make your promises? A love declared for days to come, Is as good as none. If now now, what then? We all must live our lives. Always feeling. Always thinking. The moment has arrived. If not now, then when? |

No words to say
No words to convey This feeling inside I have for you Deep in my heart Safe from the guards Of intellect and reason Leaving me at a loss For words to express my feelings Deep in my heart Deep in my heart Look at me losing control Thinking I had a hold But with feelings this strong I'm no longer the master Of my emotions |
