A verdict heard by the jury's word?they're lying
I watch as victims of our slave ships battle with the demons inside But no wrong ever righted or proved by the innocent dying I pray from the ashes of the ruins, the answer will rise Hear the screams as we rise from the ashes Lord save the soul who can hear the scream A child is born to a world that is slowly dying He chooses to march to the neat of a different drum A man lays dead in the streets, his mama is crying The people, they measure this man by the damage he's done Hear the screams as we rise from the ashes Lord save the soul who can hear the scream Forgive us for our sins, I never meant the things I did I never meant, I never meant, I never meant Hear the screams as we rise from the ashes Lord save the soul who can hear the scream Lord Save the soul, lord raise the soul, lord praise the soul |

Lately I can tell that something ain't right
I don't' see the fire when I look in your eyes One time up and the next time down This may be the last time that you'll see me around꿺aid Well it sure seems to me nothing matter tonight And all those things we worked out They got lost in the fight It's not enough, girl, that I gave you my soul I just want to know if we've got Anything left at all, and I say CHORUS Hold on now baby This could be the last time we stand This could be the last time that we say good-bye The picture shatters can't find the words to save it Tell me what to do how can I make it right? We will always be fire and ice Well promises made, in the heat of the night You could sure spit them out, girl But they've long passed me by Nobody knows about, the show you put me through This could be the last time that I get through to you CHORUS Well I can't stand to see no more damage done but you'll never understand until you suffer some CHORUS |

Stand and rise and before your eyes the lions will appear
And when they do, they will be filling you With all the lies you need to hear Mr. Politician, just keep on dishin' your shit for the TV screen Turn off his camera, and he'll drop the propaganda Faster than the poverty he just seen Got to bring it home We got to bring it home See his campaign run the by power and funds And making all the deals he can Isn't it funny what greed and money Can do to the soul of a man We don't seen nothin' hear nothin' Just get their news stuffed down our throats at ten Makes it hard to conceive who the fuck to believe When I don't see no means to an end We got to bring it home I don't know what to believe Till we bring it home Don't you think you're foolin' me Got to bring it home In this world that's grown so cold Got to bring it home We will never know till we bring it home Watch the walls around come tumbling down Like a house that's built on a hill How can we change a thing Or even get in the ring If we're living our lives in guilt We don't see it coming Hear it coming Acting like we know nothin Chills me to the bone Sure as hell, just foolin' ourselves Till we bring it home Got to bring it home I don't know what to believe We got to get it home Don't you think you're foolin' me We got to bring it home In this world that's grown so cold We got to get it home Time has come now to bring it home We got to get it home Time has come now to bring it home Got to get it home The truth we will never find until we bring it home |

Well it's Friday night and I'm waiting
On your call girl, like I do Am I wasting my time by this telephone line Waiting on your call to come through Chorus: I should be already over you Tell me Mama, what can I do It's been a long hard road that you put me through Seven days over you Seven days, seven days over you Seven days over you Kick it I kick and fight for you baby But that's never enough for you You've been twisted and torn since the day you were born You make a game of breaking hearts in two Now I want to give up but I dig the rush too much I guess that's what love will do So drag your heart-stopping mind trip downtown, girl By Friday night I'll find someone new Chorus Lord knows what you put me through Already over you, tell me mama what can I do (repeat) Chorus out |

Now pardon my personal demons, child but if you do insist
Sit down and listen to me story awhile, cause it goes something like this The joint was small but we were having a ball At a place called the Blue Duck Inn When I couldn't help but notice her My future wife walked in I needed me a dose of her, so I got a little closer And this is what she said My old man stands about six foot five And if he catches you, you're dead Now I don't need none of that giving me the blues The old man sitting next to me said Son, let me tell you Chorus: Life, you just can't fake it Love, you gotta make it Time, you better take it Lord, ain't that the truth Hear me out Your heart will surely feel it Women come and steal it Time can only heal it Lord, ain't that the truth I save Friday night for the ladies Saturday night for my gin Come Sunday morning, I'm asking the good Lord To forgive me for my sins Lately my heave-ho get-up-and-go Wouldn't get me out of bed I felt like some big wrecking ball Done hit upside my head Now I don't need a preacher man Telling me how to run my life Until an angel sitting next to me said son, heed my advice. She said Repeat chorus You better get your story straight What comes around goes around Chorus |

On a cold night in a hotel in New Orleans
Came the final blow And somehow somewhere we lost sight in our Search for that pot of gold And all that happened I don't understand Could somebody here Somebody here please explain to me Because I'm dealin' so damn deceived And I can't run, can't hide can't get nothing right lately Theatre of my soul Play on child Ashes to ashes Light the good lord lays us down Dust to dust, oh no The time has come to lay to rest the years All the years it took this heart to trust Maybe to much, too soon I couldn't get my head on straight All that worry just wasted time And now it's much too late to save it Long forgotten midnight dancer Plays her final role The curtain falls and I'm still standing And the theatre of my should you left in vain Could someone please explain And I said I know that nothing's the same Riding blind on the winds of change But in my head that scene keeps on playing Long forgotten midnight dancer Plays her final role Oh yes she does Can't run, can't hide, can't get nothing right lately The curtain falls and I'm still standing Can't run, can't hide, can't get nothing right lately When, time it just keeps on passing I got to let it go Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll Can't run, can't hide, can't get nothing right lately I keep searching for those long lost answers In the theatre of my soul Theatre of my soul |

Living off the friends we made
Never ever getting paid Kicking ass and paying dies Lose our mind in self abuse Loving ladies by the score Waking up and wanting more I hope my mama understands When I strike up the band Well I spit my anger, as the sweat do fly Fifteen years of paying dues just to get me by Now the barkeeps would pay us by the crowds we bring But those son-of-bitches never paid us one damn thing And my poor daddy, he just don't understand Its balls out tonight Watch the shit hit the fan When we strike up the band Now those drop dead ladies line the very first row I do believe I'd like to spend some time after the show Now them years gone by, the barkeeps pay in cash And them lovely ladies feed me an earful of trash And my old lady, show just don't understand Why those floozies got their hands on her man And my poor daddy, he still don't understand Why it's balls out tonight watch the shit hit the fan Give it all that we can We don't give a good damn When we strike up the band Living like a gypsy, and air conditioned hippie Who's never seen the light of day Rode dog and cowboy Don't know how, boy I ever live this long this was, no no said And my poor daddy, he still don't understand Why it's balls out tonight watch the shit hit the fan Give it all that we can We don't give a good damn When we strike up the band |

Well, I'm sitting here this evening

In a smoky room, could have been the devil's tomb
90 miles east of LA Feeling desperate and cold, barely 19 years old Searching for the light through the pouring rain I visualize, the cold reality But if I don't try The answer dies inside of me CHORUS Blind faith, take me to the mountains Blind faith leads me to the sea Blind faith takes me to a higher ground Come on, come on, come on and help me find my way In a small town school Caught between the liars and the fools She spent her days thinking about her life She was full of dreams and doubts Searching for that one way out Didn't want to spend the rest of her days being a small town wife But deep inside, she didn't have the heart to leave CHORUS I just got to get myself out of here We visualize the life we want to lead, but deep inside Got to find a reason to believe CHORUS |
