Came in this morning high on a bird's wing
Quite open minded but still quite aware Followed the sunrise right through from dawning Picking out landmarks that said I was there Led to positions by stern faced leaders Who never let one smile depart from their face Then with an arm raise the slaughter is started One or two crack up and start to cry Selfishness breeds in this cesspool of sorrow Every few moments I see I friend die Synchronized watches flash in the sunlight As into the battle we are all led Killer, killer, keep your thoughts at bay Maiming, destroying, every single day Is this the way that you get your fun Slaying, waylaying, in the heat of the midday sun Get out, get out, go and do your job Rape and pillage, squander all and rob You make me sick, getting paid for murder You wouldn't lay a finger on your mother, oh no You never ever dream to hurt her Hero, hero, you have done so well So sit back and lick your wounds, cause you won't go to hell Take your medal, wear it now with pride Consolation for the pain and sin you feel inside |

Stones In The Road
(Mary Chapin Carpenter) When we were young, we pledged allegiance every morning of our lives The classroom rang with children's voices under teacher's watchful eye We learned about the world around us at our desks and at dinnertime Reminded of the starving children, we cleaned our plates with guilty minds And the stones in the road shone like diamonds in the dust And then a voice called to us to make our way back home When I was ten, my father held me on his shoulders above the crowd To see a train draped in mourning pass slowly through our town His widow kneeled with all their children at the sacred burial ground And the TV glowed that long hot summer with all the cities burning down And the stones in the road flew out beneath our bicycle tires Worlds removed from all those fires as we raced each other home And now we drink our coffee on the run, we climb that ladder rung by rung We are the daughters and the sons, and here's the line that's missing The starving children have been replaced by souls out on the street We give a dollar when we pass, and hope our eyes don't meet We pencil in, we cancel out, we crave the corner suite We kiss your ass, we make you hold, we doctor the receipt And the stones in the road fly out from beneath our wheels Another day, another deal, before we get back home And the stones in the road leave a mark from whence they came A thousand points of light or shame, baby, I don't know |

Man eatin momma, steam driven hammer
Sorts the men out from the boys Takes no messin', all in wrestlin' Is one of her pride and joys She a classy, flashy lassy Imitation sapphire shine Two faced liar, full of fire But I know the flame is mine Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man You can take her if you want her If you think you can Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man You can take her if you want her you can She's a grip and choke ya Heavy smoker Wrong side of the law Midnight shady Good time lady Heavy, ready show you what for Barroom fighter Ten pint a nighter Definite ninety-nine Diamond cluster Knuckle duster Feline on the borderline Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man You can take her if you want her If you think you can Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man You can take her if you want her you can |

I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you decided to call And here I sit, hand on the telephone Hearing the voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall Well we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Now I see you standing all around with snow in your hair Now we're looking out the window of a crummy hotel over Washington Square Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me, we both could've died then and there Now you're telling me, your not nostalgic Damn give me another word for it You were so good with words And at keeping things vague Cause I need some of that vaugeness now It's all come back too clearly, Yes I love you dearley And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid Well we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Diamonds, Diamonds and rust Diamonds, Diamonds and rust Diamonds, Diamonds and rust Diamonds, Diamonds and rust |

Whiskey woman don't you know that you are drivin' me insane
The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain Don't you know you're driving me insane You're tryin' to find your way through life You're tryin' to get some new direction Another woman got her man She won't find no new connection Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through Takes another look around, you're not goin' anywhere You've realized you're gettin' old and no one seems to care You're tryin' to find your way again You're tryin' to find some new... Another woman's got her man But she won't find a new... Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through You 'bin foolin' with some hot guy I want to know why is it why Get up get out you know you really blew it I've had enough, I've had enough, good God pluck me |

Beware of their coming
Take heed our time is near Fatality relinquish not Brutality in arms doth seek to destroy They smashed through the clouds into the light of the moon Their steeds were full charging, called destruction and doom 'Twas as if all hell had broke loose on this night And all in all it was a terrible sight Now we are taken unto the island of domination We gotta get, we gotta get, we gotta get out of this place There's a man with a needle who's pleading to get at my face Hide me and hold me control free as best as you can It's all becoming too much, I can't cope, for one man Now we are taken unto the island of domination Sky-rider supersonic flier Night-driver demon of desire Spine-snapper you tried your best to break us Throat-choker thought that you could take us The fright of your life, the fright of your life The fright of your life is here guaranteed This is no illusion confessing confusion you're freed Lashings of strappings with beatings competing to win Oh what a mess I am blessed, dominations set in Now we are taken unto the island of domination... |

You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock In London town streets When there's darkness and fog When you least expect me And you turn your back I'll attack I smile when I'm sneaking Through shadows by the wall I laugh when I'm creeping But you won't hear me at all All hear my warning Never turn your back On the ripper You'll soon shake with fear Never knowing if I'm near I'm sly and I'm shameless Nocturnal and nameless Except for "The Ripper" Or if you like "Jack The Knife" Any back alley street Is where we'll probably meet Underneath a gas lamp Where the air's cold and damp I'm a nasty surprise I'm a devil in disguise I'm a footstep at night I'm a scream of the fright All hear my warning Never turn your back On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper |
