He got trouble, he got strife He got difficulty in his life He got trouble walkin' on his toes And I think there's something wrong with his nose And he don't know where he's goin' And he don't care where he's been But now he knows he's alive givin' out with his jive And he's makin' me pale with his sad little tale about love He got women, he got wine He got everything to make him feel fine He got everything this world can give But he still don't know how to wake up and live And he don't know where he's goin' And he don't care where he's been But now he knows he's alive givin' out with his jive And he's makin' me pale with his sad little tale about love 'Cause he be too black and too proud Or too white and too loud He be too low or too high The difference is he's frightened and he don't know how to try And he don't know where he's goin' And he don't care where he's been But now he knows he's alive givin' out with his jive And he's makin' me pale with his sad little tale about love |

Mr. Blunt and Mr. Frank Were standin' in the halls of their 7 figure bank Wonderin' what in the world They were gonna do for you I can take the brunt If you can take the flank Explained Mr. Blunt to timid Mr. Frank Wonderin' what in the world They were gonna do for you We been stealin' this money most every day And ain't nobody caught us in any way But something's tellin' me Now our goose is cooked We been raisin' our prices On the kiddies ices And the bedroom suites on the corner store Don't you think that they could go up some more? Then with everybody jivin' About how to be survivin' We could bring 'em back down again And it's gone full circle While the world bank wins again Revolution no solution To the government's illusion That the people are amusin' With the prices that we're usin' And I think that they're abusing Everything that we try to do Defamation to the nation That is drowning in inflation Immigration, isolation is a useless tabulation To the calculation that the world Is gonna want to come to you So people in distress gonna worry nonetheless 'Bout the monetary mess from an educated guess, never really blessed I think we must confess it now So people jump and shout, Everything is out And I've said what I have to say Everybody sit back While I get ready to play Where you gonna go When the people gonna know That they're ripping us off again Right back down To the same old hole we been in Bet your bottom dollar That you're really gonna holler When your friends turn you down again Not a thin dime To keep in you in your time of men |

I believe in something I do believe I believe in life I do believe that the sun is shining, on the other side of the night And I know that we are growing We should spread through the land, We got time, and it ain't no crime To want to hold your brother's hand And it all depends on if you're feelin' fine! I got time to love you, I got time to make you mine We got time to make the circle in the best part of our lives But the worst part of the waiting is the time that you're away And I ain't denyin' that I feel like cryin' When the plane takes off again And it all depends on if you're feelin' fine We are made of sunbeams We are made of molten glass We can light the fire of living We can learn with an ugly past We can roar into the future Like a bull with battered brains And it's a mighty thin line 'Tween livin' and dyin And all these stupid games And it all depends on if you use your mind All the world is spinning 'round Slow and sure and voidly bound To keep the weed of life alive To take back those who won't survive Whether in the air or the wind tossed sea Life is gonna be there that you see We're the only ones that sit and count the hours And all the stars and all the flowers And the myriad means to accrue our powers to shape the hand of fate His name is destiny And if we can refrain from the game of pain There's nobody left now to place the blame I see no reason why we can't go on in life I say life |

The golden flower of a love that is blooming Makes me believe that something, somewhere is looming The sounds of morning intermingling our living In evening laughter is the stillness of giving The silver showers of life in its crystal form Don't have to be forlorn Go on and know you're born now, Make peace inside and you will watch as the days they go by She took my hand and led me down to the water, I kissed her lips and never since have I faltered, They come between us shadows of human failing Then pass like clouds before the wind's bitter wailing The understanding in explicit simplicity Comes to you blindingly, never you mindingly how It makes its changes and yet nothing is changed You're enthralled The mind and heart they should be one thing together We're born and die but they will go on forever Our fear of being hurt and hurting is finally The only constant in our scope of reality In tears of sadness we call on our fellow clan Explain if you think you can, I am but just a man now, We're being guided we can look to ourselves for the way We're being guided we can look to ourselves for the way |

Sitting still and looking at the angel Giving life and granting all the love And I know that all of us are able We can live in love above it all There's a time of the year when you start to feel your fear And you really wonder where you're going And you know you hear the call When the leaves begin to fall And the melancholy's fast approaching But with the mountains so clear You know another year has gone and nearly passed you by Then all you need is joy Like that of a little boy To live in rapturous wonder Must we kiss the height of our delusion, Idolize the spectra of illusion And all your prayers and tribulations Rack and tortured exaltations And our cornered expectations And our ferocious intimations We are more How I wish that you were not deluded I sympathize, I know it's very hard We have to live in midst of the confusion But even so we all can touch a star But the greatest thing of all Is the coming of the call, 'Cause it keeps you on your toes It's catching And you know you got a friend, When you deign to let her in 'Tis the angel of the briefest passing, And when the sunset's aflame You know it's all a game But no one really plays the same, And all we got is rules To keep us from the fools That live in heartless cruelty |

He will squire his gentle lady Through the chores of being hazy While he waits to be believed that he is home And the double toil of living makes it so much more fulfilling When she comes into his arms She keeps him warm Then she bestows her favors gently Then she scratches him perversely And he loves it when her lips descend and sigh Then he thinks of getting bolder, But he knows he's getting older And he knows that they will live until its Time keeps rolling All is growing And the time is passing by them And she knows she can't deny him, All the love she has to give And so much more And like the seasons and the weather He will love her more than ever She's the woman that he wants to call his own On a summer day bye and bye With a lone cloud in the sky And the light that's in your eye I see you On a summer day bye and bye On a summer day bye and bye |
