I like to dream
Yes, yes right between the sound machine On a cloud of sight I drift in the night Any place it goes is right Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here Well, you don't know what we could find Why don't you come with me little girl on a magic carpet ride? Well you don't know what we could see Why don't you tell your dreams to me?, fantasy will set you free. Last night I held Aladdin's lamp, so I wished that I could stay. Before the thing could answer me well someone took, Took the lamp away I looked around a lousy can was all I found. Close your eyes girl, look inside girl, let the Sound take you away |

She asked me maybe I would share her sorrow About the men that tried to treat her wrong Though just a baby A waiting her tomorrow It's rock me baby, rock me baby All night long She needs an answer to her confusion someone to guide her with tenderness But if she's asking for a solution All that she gets You know it's something like this Don't know where we come from Don't know where we're going to But if all of this should have a reason We would be the last to know So let's just hope there is a promised land Hang on till then as best you can Everybody's ills you know it Fills her with compassion That's why she tries To save the world alone She helps the needy in her own fashion And tries to give them all her own Rock me baby, rock me baby All night long |

Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope Came to this country to build a new vision Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope Like good Christians, some would burn the witches Later some got slaves to gather riches But still from near and far to seek America They came by thousands to court the wild And she just patiently smiled and bore a child To be their spirit and guiding light And once the ties with the crown had been broken Westward in saddle and wagon it went And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean Many the lives which had come to an end While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland We began the slaughter of the red man But still from near and far to seek America They came by thousands to court the wild And she just patiently smiled and bore a child To be their spirit and guiding light The blue and grey they stomped it They kicked it just like a dog And when the war over They stuffed it just like a hog And though the past has it's share of injustice Kind was the spirit in many a way But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping Now it's a monster and will not obey (Suicide) The spirit was freedom and justice And it's keepers seem generous and kind It's leaders were supposed to serve the country But now they won't pay it no mind 'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy And now their vote is a meaningless joke They babble about law and order But it's all just an echo of what they've been told Yeah, there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into a noose And it just sits there watchin' Our cities have turned into jungles And corruption is stranglin' the land The police force is watching the people And the people just can't understand We don't know how to mind our own business 'Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us Now we are fighting a war over there No matter who's the winner We can't pay the cost 'Cause there's a monster on the loose It's got our heads into a noose And it just sits there watching (America) America where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know we need you now We can't fight alone against the monster |

Things look bad from over here
Too much confusion and no solution Everyone here knows your fear You're out of touch and you try too much Yesterday's glory won't help us today You wanna retire? Get out of the way The country needs a father Not an uncle or big brother Someone to keep the peace at home If we can't get together Look out for stormy weather Don't make me pay for your mistakes I have to pay my own Yesterday's glory won't help us today You wanna retire? Get out of the way I ain't got much time The young ones close behind I can't wait in line If we can not wake you Then we'll have to shake you Though some say you'll only understand a gun Got to prove them wrong Or you will lose the battle Don't you know we'll start a war Which will be won by none Yesterday's glory won't help us today You wanna retire? Get out of the way I ain't got much time The young ones close behind I can't wait in line Move over Come on, Move Over |

Your eyes are moist, you scream and shout
As though you were a man possessed From deep inside comes rushing forth All the anguish you suppressed Up on your wall hangs your degree Your parents craved so much for you And though you're trained to make your mark You still don't quite know what to do It's never too late to start all over again To love the people you caused the pain And help them learn your name Oh, no, not too late It's never too late to start all over again Well, it's much to late to start again To try and find a little bliss So on your woman and your child You release your bitterness You drift apart some more each day You feel the guilt and loneliness And the God of your childhood you can't find To save you from your emptiness It's never too late to start all over again To love the people you caused the pain And help them learn your name Oh, no, not too late It's never too late to start all over again You say you've only got one life to live And when your dead your gone Your family comes to your grave And with tears in their eyes They tell you, you did something wrong "You left us alone" Tell me who's to say after all is done And you're finally gone, you won't be back again You can find a way to change today You don't have to wait 'til then |

Out on my Night Hog somebody temptin'
Hear it scream on by your house The highway sign is my only call Cause a demon deep inside keeps driving me to roam Well I'm nobody's slave, I'm nobody's master Time is mine, morning, night and afternoon And you hitch-hiking woman, when you see me coming, Jump on my back and let your hair come tumbling down I'm going downtown to see my lady I'm going downtown to tell her goodbye I won't hang around, it's driving me crazy I'll be out of town 'til the chilly winds start to blow Out on my Night Hog somebody temptin' Hear it scream on by your house My rolling hog will hunt the night And chase the road until it's time to strike Well I'm nobody's slave, I'm nobody's master Time is mine, morning, night and afternoon And you hitch-hiking woman, when you see me coming, Jump on my back and let your hair come tumbling down |

How ya gonna make it baby?
That's the question to be asked Life goes on around you In so many different ways I know my share of history How hard it is to be free From wearing masks that turn to skin Hiding what you could have been And I, I'm so confused Which way, which way to choose? Ride with me baby 'til the end of the day Mama's home philosophy Makes everyone a freak but me Though I'm starvin' in the streets And can't predict the future Mirror, mirror on the wall Who's the sanest of us all? Is he with me or one of them? How does he dress, who are his friends? And I, I'm so confused Which way, which way to choose? Ride with me baby 'til the end of the day Mama's home philosophy Makes everyone a freak but me Though I'm starvin' in the streets And can't predict the future Can I have my vision back? I'll live outside your city walls You don't have to be afraid Until I come together |

You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend
Lying on the pavement with a misery on his brain Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall He only had a dollar to live on till next Monday But he spent it all on comfort for his mind Did you say you think he's blind? Someone should call his parents, a sister or a brother And they'll come to take him back home on a bus But he'll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother Yeah he'll always be another one of us He said he wanted heaven but prayin' was too slow So he bought a one-way ticket on an airline made of snow Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low? Flyin' low, dyin' slow You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend Lying on the pavement with a misery on his brain Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall He only had a dollar to live on till next Monday He said he wanted heaven but prayin' was too slow So he bought a one-way ticket on an airline made of snow Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low? Dyin' slow, flyin' low Did you say you saw your good friend flyin' low? Dyin' slow, flyin' low Blinded by snow |

What you say to drive that girl away
When she's the one and only? Who's the one that you been leanin' on Ev'ry time that you were down and lonely? How many times did you say to yourself that woman is the devil's tool? Somehow you knew that you blew it again and didn't wanna look like a ravin fool But when you need affection You go to her with a smilin' face But now she's got a strange reaction For ladies only Tired of talkin' 'till somebody hears For ladies only Half the world has been built upon their tears If you've been contemplatin' just what you're doin' wrong Then you will be a witness to the rumble goin' on You fight it hard to tell apart the truth from the jive They've got a right to say it wrong if freedom's to survive Now if you don't believe your own reflection Just take a look at all your smooth talkin' friends I'm sure you'll make the right connection I'll give you my donation to help the cause along I'll make my contribution 'till the fight has been won But when my bedroom closes one thing remains Man, woman, hog or dog, I'm callin' the plays And if you find the need to raise objections Don't talk to me 'bout your wasted time You know you made your own selections |

She used to dance when she had the chance
And the time it didn't matter At the end of her night, was an endless flight While her head, it was lost in the laughter A girl I knew Someone I used to talk to When we'd meet in the middle of a room A girl I knew Her world, a shade of blue Someone I used to talk to She used to sing in the night while her ring It would sparkle like Burgundy wine And the people stopped and starred But pretend she's not there She used to sing in the night while her ring It would sparkle like Burgundy wine And the people stopped and stared But pretend she's not there She used to dance when she had the chance And the time it didn't matter At the end of her night, was an endless flight While her head, it was lost in the laughter |

Well thinking of my schooldays,I remember Maybeline
Used to dance with her all night she was little sweet sixteen Her brother used to chase me He thought I did, but I never could I used to call him Little Queenie His name was Johnny B. Good I used to hold 'till I was older Then I got bolder Her brother used to scold her I left there in the mornin' Went back to Memphis, Tennessee You know her brother never found me And that's all right with me. I went to New York City to find what could be found Just for kicks down sixty-six, stopped in L.A. Town Yes I went to California just to see what I could see Well nobody knew just where I was And that's all right with me You know I met a girl named Carol And her girlfriend sweet Nadine Played rock n' roll music Used to kiss me in between Roll over Beethoven that happened to be her favorite song But we never did much rollin' I didn't stay there long I used to hold her and try to mold her Somebody told her, Nadine and I were bolder I left there in the mornin' Went back to Memphis, Tennessee You know I never saw her face again And that's all right with me I used to hold her and try to mold her Somebody told her, Nadine and I were bolder I left there in the mornin' Went back to Memphis, Tennessee You know I never saw her face again And that's all right with me |

She's all alone, just lost another one
Met him yesterday and he's already gone And though tonight she'll swear it was the last time A smiling face will come that knows the right line And then she'll do all the right things with the wrong guy And when he's gone, next day she'll sit and wonder why She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one 'Cause she's afraid that the truth is gonna hurt some All the pity in the world ain't gonna help none She has to realize that to keep one, her ways have to change some She tries too hard and she comes on too strong Digs herself too much and thinks she can't be wrong She's too impressed by things that do not matter To be the Queen of hearts is what she's after. And then she'll do all the right things with the wrong guy And when he's gone, next day she'll sit and wonder why She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one 'Cause she's afraid that the truth is gonna hurt some All the pity in the world ain't gonna help none She has to realize that to keep one, her ways have to change some |

The one who reads the stars has told me
Why you're not like everyone Your father is a fiery wizard He travels all around the sun No one ever knew just where you came from Orphan girl, you grew up wild Your father left you on the way home Yes, girl, you're a Jupiter's child Wish I knew the way back Back to where you came Gladly I would leave here Take another name I can tell by you, it must be true It's up on Jupiter's face They don't embrace our own disgrace Somebody, help me off this place You really quite belonged Like a pearl among the swine You tried to live the way we do Hoping you would learn in time But, mankind, with all it's virtue Will soon make you lose your smile On this earth, with all it's madness Heaven help a Jupiter's child Wish I knew the way back Back to where you came Gladly I would leave here Take another name I can tell by you, it must be true It's up on Jupiter's face They don't embrace our own disgrace Somebody, get me off this place |

What gives you the right hey you
To stand there and tell me what to do Tell me who gave you the power To stop me from livin' like I do Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away. Don't bite the hand that feeds you Just one time I'd like to be somewhere where None of your clever lies fill the air I'm tired of your frozen smile and voice of tin Just might all gang up on you Turn the knob and do you in Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away. Don't bite the hand that feeds you This never ending power play 'Tween Jealousy, greed and vicious hate Is grinding us like giant millstones But it can't be our only fate It's time we got our heads together And let 'em know that we're awake Those in the dark, you know they're no longer blind They're breakin' from your strangle hold on their minds Those who can see don't need no one to cross the street Be careful who you're pushin' round They just might find you obsolete Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away. Don't bite the hand that feeds you |

At six a.m. this morning, oh the man knocked at my door
I screamed in his ear, I'm not the guy you're looking for But got taken, I got taken just the same When it comes to getting sleep at night Oh I just can't seem to win I went down to the zoo where I thought I might hide There I met a friendly grizzly bear, who took me for a ride And I got mangled, oh I got pushed all out of shape When it comes to being sociable Oh I just can't seem to win While climbing up Mt. Everest to get away from all the noise I slipped on a banana peel and almost got destroyed And I was worried all the way down to the ground When it comes to holding safety nets Nobody seems to be around When I put myself together I found that it was best If I no longer tried to be just like all the rest Because I'm twisted, yeah but that's the bag I'm in When it comes to being normal Oh I just can't seem to win |

When rain drops fall and you feel low
Ah, do you ever think it's useless Do you feel like letting go Do you ever sit and do you wonder Will the world ever change And just how long will it take To have it all rearranged Tell me why these things are still the same Tell me why no one can seem to learn from mistakes Take my hand if you don't know where your goin' I'll understand, I've lost the way myself Oh, don't take that old road it leads to nowhere We must return before the clock strikes twelve It's so easy to do nothin' When you're busy night and day Take a step in one direction And take a step the other way So don't stop tryin' when you stumble Don't give up should you fall Keep on searchin' for the passway That will lead you through the wall Don't look back or you'll be left behind Don't look back or you will never find peace of mind |

We'll call you when you're six years old
And drag you to the factory To train your brain for eighteen years With promise of security But then you're free And forty years you waste to chase the dollar sign So you may die in Florida At the pleasant age of sixty nine The water's getting hard to drink We've mangled up the country side The air will choke you when you breathe We're all committing suicide But it's alright It's progress folks keep pushin' till your body rots Will strip the earth of all it's green And then divide her into parking lots But there's nothing you and I can do You and I are only two What's right and wrong is hard to say Forget about it for today We'll stick our heads into the sand Just pretend that all is grand Then hope that everything turns out ok You're free to speak your mind my friend As long as you agree with me Don't criticize the father land Or those who shape your destiny 'Cause if you do You'll lose your job your mind and all the friends you knew We'll send out all our boys in blue They'll find a way to silence you But there's nothing you and I can do You and I are only two What's right and wrong is hard to say Forget about it for today We'll stick our heads into the sand Just pretend that all is grand Then hope that everything turns out ok |

Humanity grew weary
Of it's doubtful state of mind So it summoned from far and called from near All the wise men thought to be sincere To heal it's wounds and make it whole And the lead the way back to the soul The charlatans they stayed behind To count their bags of gold And some stayed away as if to say I know that my way's the only way Afraid to learn they may be wrong They preach their nothingness at home But the wise men came together with the hope to free man kind Of the rubbish that had gathered in god's name To embrace and trust each other in the search for the supreme And they found that all their teachings were the same And when at last the word went round That all were one and all Many returned to seek the light Nobody claimed that he was right It's sad to know it's just a song To dream and hope still can't be wrong |

Words and music by A. Hammond & M. Hazlewood
Early in the misty, misty morning Headin' for another freeway jam Sleepy eyed and shivering Waking up and wishing it was Sunday I wish it was Sunday. On the radio they're playin' love songs. Songs that make me want to turn around Fact'ry gates are up ahead I wish that I was home in bed with you, my love, Back home with you, my love. But I work to make a living And I work without a break And I work when I am sleeping And I work when I'm awake Yes, and I'd like to leave the city But I can't afford the move And I think I'm goin' under With those way down low down Smokey fact'ry blues. I was born a lover not a worker. Money doesn't smell like sweet perfume Some of us feel out of place With engine oil upon our face. Believe me, you better believe me. ⓒ 1973 Landers-Roberts Music / April Music Inc. (ASCAP) |

You look so bored with your jet set mother Standing there at the airport You sure came alive when your eye caught the headline And saw the picture of the rebel queen I know, I know, I know, I know, I know Everything that went through your head Time to step in the danger zone And start a fire of your own Oh, Caroline, oh, Caroline Are you ready for the outlaw world? Oh, Caroline, oh, Caroline Are you ready for the outlaw world? Caroline, oh, Caroline Are you ready for the outlaw Ready for the outlaw world? You talk so low in the back street cafe Makin' plans with your mystery man You pour out your heart and you tell him your story Giving yourself just to save the whole world I know, I know, I know, I know, I know Every word that passed through your lips Time to step in the danger zone And start a fire of your own Repeat Chorus This generation they want a legend Carol is that you? The evening news an injection And you can be that too Repeat Chorus Redbeard Music (BMI) |

Crossing the line in the dead of night Five years old and on the run This ain't no game, boy, don't make a sound And watch that man with the gun Say a prayer for the ones we leave behind, say a prayer for us all Come take my hand now and hold on tight Take one last look at that wall Think of the shattered lives, think of the broken hearts Think of the battered dreams, of families still torn apart Wall of bitter tears, wall of crying pain Wall of chilling fear, you will never keep me here For I, I shall crawl right down through that wall I will crawl right on through that wall That fateful night I was one that got away, A young and restless renegade Chasing my dreams, still on the run, I had some moments in the sun Years flew by like a speeding bullet train, I sang my songs to one and all Then came the day when I had a chance to pay My respects to the names on that wall I saw the wooden crosses, saw the bloody stains Saw the gruesome pictures of all the ones that died in vain Wall of countless victims, wall of endless shame Had just one thing gone wrong I might have joined that list of names And I cried for all who died there at the wall I recall weeping at the wall "Freedom has many difficulties, and democracy is not perfect, But we've never had to put a wall up to keep our people in… While the wall is the most obvious demonstration of the failures of communism, We take no pride in it…for it is an offense against humanity, separating families, Dividing husbands and wives, brothers and sisters and People who wish to be joined together… All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin And therefore, as a free man I take pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner". (Excerpts from John F. Kennedy speech at the Berlin wall June 26, 1963) Turned on the news in November '89 I could not move, I could not speak Something was burning up in my eyes, Something wet ran down my cheek All those laughing faces, all those tears of joy All those warm embraces of men and women, girls and boys Sisters and brothers dancing, all singing freedom's song God, if only I could be there to shake your hands and sing along Oh I, I would climb right up on that wall And join you all dancing on the wall Standing tall walking on the wall Tear it down, right down to the ground Tear it down, right down to the ground ⓒ 1989 Black Leather Music, Inc., (BMI), Michael John Music (BMI), Attlebrat |

Every day I heard the radio Every night I had the same old dream To sing a song, oh, baby, to watch my name in lights If you wanna see your dream come true Honeychild, you gotta get right down and fight Well I sailed cross the ocean, girl, I felt so all alone Many times I thought about goin' right back home But the Joy I found in song gave me the will to carry on Live your life the way you want to Don't let fools lead you astray Live you dreams so you hold on to All you need along the way I was payin' my dues right here in the land of the free All the time I learned to sing along I could not speak and I could barely see Still all the while I knew where I was at But the people that believed in me Lord, I could count them all in seconds flat Well, someday I would be, I knew it all along A gentleman of leisure, girl, right or wrong And though my dream has come and gone There's plenty more where those came from Repeat Chorus |
