there was a day
when we made promises and there was a day when we kept them we were like one no one could stop us we ruled the world from the throne you made promises -- we were young and free promises -- how it ought to be promises -- but somewhere it changed promises -- nothing remains the same now when we were tight you made such promises the world was alright and we believed them but now it's through and your stock is down put out the fuse the sparks are on the ground promises -- we were young and free promises -- how it ought to be promises -- but somewhere it changed promises -- nothing remains the same hurrah for yesterday long live yesterday drink a toast to yesterday we got the most out of yesterday we were like one we were like one promises -- we were young and free promises -- how it ought to be promises -- but somewhere it changed promises -- nothing remains the same hurrah for yesterday long live yesterday drink a toast to yesterday we got the most out of yesterday |

the revolution will be compromised
if we don't move now 1,000 mental road signs go blurring by telling us that this is the time this is the time the revolution will be compromised if we don't move now see the kids out on the street so much wasted energy if they had a leader what an army they would be but that's not reality there is no reason without reason complacency to be feared why do we get out of bed? light a fire in your head the revolution has been compromised |

sitting in my room
just wasting time i've spent my whole life asking questions and when the answers come they hurt or wound I don't know what it takes to bind it I don't know what it takes to find it is there such a thing as piece of mind? on the telephone I hear your voice and I wonder what's behind it and in your eyes the blankest beauty I wonder what there is inside it I don't know what it takes to find you i'll give pieces of my mind i'm always mixed up every time pathetic ramblings, this I know welcome to this bitter show this poetry is not romantic and anger is not a tonic painting on a smile so you'll never know just how deeply your words hurt me and boys don't cry this I know i've been socialized to hide it |

somewhere in a cold jail cell
is a man doing time, in a living hell for perjury but it's o.k. for billy somewhere is a young girl her life is forever swirled she's out of luck but it's o.k. for billy and so many pawns will fall for every king's stone wall I believe that we should strive for more obstruction, deception and still they blindly support him they've lowered the standards that they could've raised it's such a shame this is the new breed and i'm standing on my own I remember when there were democrats who stood tall and were cool cats now all I see are more suits and ties double standards, equivocate but even kings can get checkmate just be honest and show this king the door some say that it's just lies, but I think it's just trust and I believe that we should strive for more if he were in the g.o.p., you know that instantly they'd be lining up to fire but now they lowered the standards that they could've raised it's such a shame but this is the new breed for every little kid today who wonders why this one's o.k. well, kid these are double standards and this is the new breed and i'm standing on my own and maybe it's naive for someone to believe that there's a better way to run the show today but somewhere is a man or woman political in stripe whoe doesn't want to fall in line who'll say what's wrong is right and it's time to put it right the king should lose his crown this time who has the guts to say this thing is not o.k. for the sake of kings to come but now they lowered the standards that they could've raised it's such a shame this is the new breed for every little kid today who wonders why this one's o.k. well, kid these are double standards and this is the new breed this is the new breed well i'm standing on my own |

the man on the street --
he doesn't know my name but I am sure we're not at all the same man on the street -- ou know he looks like me but he'll never know all the things i've seen see him and there's no enmity -- sometimes there's jealousy but would you be him? I don't think so no a hair is out of place -- he sets the pace and he's a step ahead of me the man on the street -- he doesn't look at me and if he did I wonder what he sees he might be kind; he might be alright are his concerns so far away from mine? see him and there's no problem -- thought he always looks so cold but would you be him? I don't think so not a stich out of place -- he sets the pace and he's just a step ahead he keeps a step ahead of me he lives as expected secure and protected the world won't affect him and so I reject him now I feel so different, though I might no look so you can wear the costume, but do you march in time? there's so many targets in the world to see feel the dirt of rebellion beneath your feet! |
