Diamonds and fast cars
Money to burn
I got my head in the clouds
I got these thoughts to churn
Got my feet in the sand
I got a house on the hill
I got a headache like a mother
Twice the price of my thrills
An it's a cold day, it's a continental drift
I said this traffic is hell
Can you give me a lift
An I'll try to paint a story
Got your pictures to tell
Yeah you got to make a living
With what you bring yourself to sell

I got some genuine
Imitation
Bad Apples
Free sample
For your peace o' mind
Only $9.95
I got my camera back from customs
Got my law fees up to date
Hell they musta seen me comin'
Ain't this life so fuckin' great

When the shit hit the fan
It was all I could stand
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer
My body's breathing while it can
But what I don't understand is that
My world ain't gettin' no brighter
If I could touch the sky
Well I would float on by
While everybody's talkin'
Hell I'm just another guy
If it were up to me
I'd say just leave me be
Why let one bad apple
Spoil the whole damn bunch

Gold and caviar
Now why'nt you pour my apathy
I'd have all my bases covered
If I could teach my hands to see
But now we're down in the deep end
Where they'd love to watch you drown
I said your laundry could use washing
We'll hang it up all over town
I said Hollywood's like a dryer
An we're down on Sunset Strip
An you'll be suckin' down the Clorox
'Til your life's all nice and crisp

When the shit hit the fan
It was all I could stand
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer
My body's breathing while it can
But what I don't understand is that
My world ain't gettin' no brighter
If I could touch the sky
Well I would float on by
While everybody's talkin'
Hell I'm just another guy
If it were up to me
I'd say just leave me be
Why let one bad apple
Spoil the whole damn bunch

Why let one bad apple
Spoil the whole damn bunch
Why let one bad apple
Spoil the whole damn bunch

No one ever told me
when I was alone
They just thought
I'd know better better
No one ever told me
when I was alone
They just thought
I'd know better better
The hardest part
this troubled heart has never yet
been through now
To heal the scars
that got their start inside
someone like you now
But had I known
or I'd been shown back
when I longed you'd take me
To break the charge
that brought me home
that all but would erase me
I never would not thought I could
No matter what you'd pay me
replay the part
You stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy
If all I knew was that with you
I'd want someone to save me
It'd be enough
But just my luck
I fell in love and baby
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
You know I know better
Now I know you better

So bittersweet
this tragedy wont ask for absolution
This melody inside of me
still searches for solution
A twist of fate
the change of heart
kills my infatuation
A broken heart provides the spark
for my determination
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought
I'd know better better
No one ever told me
when I was alone
They just thought
I'd know better better
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
you know I know better
Now I know you better

I never wanted you to be
so full of anger
I never wanted
you to be somebody else
I never wanted
you to be someone afraid
to know themselves
I only wanted
you to see things for yourself

All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
Yeah we all know better
All that I wanted was

If I were you I'd manage to
abhor the invitation
Of promised love
that can't keep up
with your adoration
Just use your head
and in the end
you'll find your inspiration
To choose your steps
and won't regret
this kind of aggravation
No one ever told me
when I was alone
They just thought
I'd know better better
No one ever told me
when I was alone
They just thought
I'd know better better

Bleedin


She'd always be out late a drinkin
You'd always let it go down
Now she's gone, why ya bleedin...let it go

Ya gotta know better now you're older
This ain't the end of the world
So get off your ass and get over her
Let it go
Let it go

What ya dyin about, ya gotta let it go,
no need ta be crying for her man, come on now
You should know

Now time has passed, you're an old man
Way up there high on the hill
Back on the streets it ain't changed much
Yeah I know
Let it go

What ya dyin about, ya gotta let it go,
no need to be cryin for her man, come on now
You should know

When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the old folks say
But every time I'd see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun
Guess I'd have more fun

The Catcher in the Rye again Ooh
Won't let ya get away from him
It's just another day like today
You decide
Cause I don't have to
Then they'll find
And I won't ask you
At anytime
Or long hereafter
If the cold's outside
As I'm imagining

It to be
Oh no

The Catcher in the Rye again Ooh
Won't let ya get away from him
It's just another day like today
When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the young folks say
and deep day ever change
is that a another say
But every time I'd see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun
It's what used to
be's not there for me
And ought to find someone
that belongs insane like I do
Oh no

On an ordinary day
Back in an ordinary way
All at once the song I heard
No longer wouldn't
play for anybody
Or anyone
That needed comfort
from somebody
Needed comfort
from someone who cared
To be
Not like you
And Unlike me
And then then voices ran away
From me
So now you set
the wheels in motion
It Haunts our memories
You were the instrument
You were the one
How a body took a body
And Gave that boy a gun
You Took our innocence
Beyond our stares
Sometimes the only thing
You got at all
When no one else is there

Yeah
It don't really matter
Your gonna find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
Gonna leave this thing to
somebody else
If they were missionaries
real time visionaries
Sittin in a Chinese stew
to view my disinfatuation
I know that I'm a classic case
watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun gong
they see the end
and you can't hold on now
Cos it would take
a lot more hate than you
To end the fascination
Even with an iron fist
more than you've got
To rule the nation
when all I've got
is precious time
It don't really matter
Guess I'll keep it to myself
Said it don't really matter
Each time I look around for
somebody else
Cos it would take
a lot more time than you
Have got for masturbation
Even with your iron fist
more than you've got
To rule the nation
when all we've got
is precious time
More than you've
got to fool the nation
when all I've got
Is precious time

It don't really matter
I guess you'll find
out for yourself
No it don't really matter
So you can hear it now from
somebody else
You think you've got it all
locked up inside
And if you feed
em enough they'll die
It's like a walk
in the park from a cell
An though your keeping
your own kind in hell
When your great wall
rocks blame yourself
Like with your arms
and your head you can tell
And your out of time

What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach...
So, you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it!
Well, he gets it!
N' I don't like it any more than you men." *

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land

And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war

Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more

My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars

"WE PRACTICE SELECTIVE ANNIHILATION OF MAYORS AND GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS
FOR EXAMPLE TO CREATE A VACUUM
THEN WE FILL THAT VACUUM
AS POPULAR WAR ADVANCES
PEACE IS CLOSER" **

I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war

I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway

What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.
Some men you just can’t reach...
So, you get what we had here last week,
which is the way he wants it!
Well, he gets it!
N’ I don’t like it any more than you men.

Hey you caught me in a coma
And I don't think I wanna
Ever come back to this...world again
Kinda like it in a coma
'Cause no one's ever gonna
Oh, make me come back to this...world again
Now I feel as if I'm floating away
I can't feel all the pressure
And I like it this way
But my body's callin'
My body's callin'
Won't ya come back to this...world again
Suspended deep in a sea of black
I've got the light at the end
I've got the bones on the mast
Well I've gone sailin', I've gone sailin'
I could leave so easily
While friends are calling back to me
I said they're
They're leaving it all up to me
When all I needed was clarity
And someone to tell me
What the fuck is going on
Goddamn it!

Slippin' farther an farther away
It's a miracle how long we can stay
In a world our minds created
In a world that's full of shit

Help me
Help me
Help me
Help me
Bastard

Please understand me
I'm climbin' through the wreckage
Of all my twisted dreams
But this cheap investigation just can't
stifle all my screams
And I'm waitin' at the crossroads
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Where are you

No one's gonna bother me anymore
No one's gonna mess with my head no more
I can't understand what all the fightin's for
But it's so nice here down off the shore
I wish you could see this
'Cause there's nothing to see
It's peaceful here and it's fine with me
Not like the world where I used to live
I never really wanted to live

Zap him again
Zap the son of a bitch again

Ya live your life like it's a coma
So won't you tell me why we'd wanna
With all the reasons you give it's
It's kinda hard to believe
But who am I to tell you that I've seen
any reason why you should stay
Maybe we'd be better off without you anyway

You got a one way ticket
On your last chance ride
Gotta one way ticket
To your suicide
Gotta one way ticket
An there's no way out alive
An all this crass communication
That has left you in the cold
Isn't much for consolation
When you feel so weak and old
But is home is where the heart is
Then there's stories to be told
No you don't need a doctor
No one else can heal your soul

Got your mind in submission
Got your life on the line
But nobody pulled the trigger
They just stepped aside
They be down by the water
While you watch 'em waving goodbye
They be callin' in the morning
They be hangin' on the phone
They be waiting for an answer
When you know nobody's home
And when the bell's stopped ringing
It was nobody's fault but your own
There were always ample warnings
There were always subtle signs
And you would have seen it comin'
But we gave you too much time
And when you said that no one's listening
Why'd your best friend drop a dime
Sometimes we get so tired of waiting
For a way to spend our time
An "It's so easy" to be social
"It's so easy" to be cool
Yeah it's easy to be hungry
When you ain't got shit to lose
And I wish that I could help you
With what you hope to find
But I'm still out here waiting
Watching reruns of my life
When you reach the point of breaking
Know it's gonna take some time
To heal the broken memories
That another man would need
Just to survive

Sick of this life
Not that you'd care
I'm not the only one with
whom these feelings I share

Nobody understands, quite why we're here
We're searchin' for answers
That never appear

But maybe if I looked real hard I'd
I'd see your tryin' too
To understand this life,
That we're all goin' through
(Then when she said she was gonna like
wreck my car...I didn't know what to do)

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's
worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smilin'
I guess some things never change
Never change

I met an old cowboy
I saw the look in his eyes
Somethin' tells me he's been here before
'Cause experience makes you wise
I was only a small child
When the thought first came to me
That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son
That brought back the devil in me

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's
worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smilin'
I guess some things never change
Never change

I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul
Still wet behind the ears
I been around this track a couple o' times
But now the dust is startin' to clear
Oh yeah!!!

You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby

And don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight

Don't damn me
When I speak a piece of my mind
'Cause silence isn't golden
When I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been
An I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper
'Cause it's all a part of me

Be it a song or casual conversation
To hold my tongue speaks
Of quiet reservations
Your words once heard
They can place you in a faction
My words may disturb
But at least there's a reaction

Sometimes I wanna kill
Sometimes I wanna die
Sometimes I wanna destroy
Sometimes I wanna cry
Sometimes I could get even
Sometimes I could give up
Sometimes I could give
Sometimes I never give a fuck

It's only for a while
I hope you understand
I never wanted this to happen
Didn't want to be a man
So I hid inside my world
I took what I could find
I cried when I was lonely
I fell down when I was blind

But don't damn me
When I speak a piece of my mind
'Cause silence isn't golden
When I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been
An I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper
'Cause it's all a part of me

How can I ever satisfy you
An how can I ever make you see
That deep inside we're all somebody
An it don't matter who you wanna be
But now I gotta smile I hope you comprehend
For this man can say it happened
'Cause this child has been condemned
So I stepped into your world
I kicked you in the mind
An I'm the only witness
To the nature of my crime

But look at what we've done
To the innocent and young
Whoa listen to who's talking
'Cause we're not the only ones
The trash collected by the eyes
And dumped into the brain
Said it tears into our conscious thoughts
You tell me who's to blame

I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'
An I know you don't wanna hear me deny
That your satisfaction lies in your illusion
But your delusions are yours and not mine
We take for granted we know the whole story
We judge a book by its cover
And read what we want
Between selected lines

Don't hail me
An don't idolize the ink
Or I've failed in my attentions
Can you find the missing link
Your only validation is living your own life
Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time
So I send this song to the offended
I said what I meant and I've never pretended
As so many others do intending just to please
If I damned your point of view
Could you turn the other cheek

But don't damn me
When I speak a piece of my mind
'Cause silence isn't golden
When I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been
An I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper
'Cause it's all a part of me
Don't damn me
I said don't damn me
I said don't hail me
Don't damn me

Found a head and an arm in da garbage can
Don't know why I'm here
Livin' on the run for oh so long
I gotta go collect
Double talkin' jive
Get the money motherfucker
'Cause I got no more patience
Double talkin'
-I got (lies)-
No more patience man

Back in town an'a all new friends
They sayin' how ya been?
Fucked up and outta place
That's how I felt back then
Double talkin' jive
Get the money motherfucker
'Cause I got no more patience
Double talkin'
-I got (lies)-
No more patience man
You dig what I'm sayin'?!

Dust n' Bones


He lost his mind today
He left it out back on the highway
On "65"

She loved him yesterday
Yesterday's over
I said okay
That's all right
Time moves on
That's the way
We live an hope to see the next day
That's all right

Sometimes these things they are so easy
Sometimes these things they are so cold
Sometimes these things just seem to rip you right in two
Oh no man don't let 'em get ta you

She loved him yesterday
He laid her sister
She said O.K.
An that's all right
Buried her things today
Way back out deep
Behind the driveway
And that's all right

Sometimes these women are so easy
Sometimes these women are so cold
Sometimes these women seem to rip you right in two
Only if you let 'em get to you

Ya get out on your own
And you/take all that you own
And you/forget about your home
And then you're/just fuckin' gone

There's no logic here today
Do as you got to, go your own way
I said that's right
Time's short your life's your own
And in the end
We are just

DUST N' BONES

When you're talkin to yourself
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone
(Alone)

So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see
ONE, TWO

Old at heart but I'm only 28
And I'm much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart

I don't know how you're s'posed
To find me lately
An what more could tou ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me

Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out

Still talkin' to myself
and nobody's home
(Alone)

So nobody ever told us baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see

When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for

Well I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything We've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die

I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time- Oh this time
Without you

I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die

When you're talkin to yourself
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone
(Alone)

So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see

As I sit inside this chair
Looking out the window here
I can see that it's all far below me now
It's so far below me now
Just a short elevator down

And I really do not care
Looking out the window here
'Cause I see that it's so far below me now
And I see you looking there
Taking in the big view here
45 floors are so far below us now

Well, it's so far below me now
It's just a short elevator down
And as quickly as you go up
It just comes back down
I can see that it's so far below me now

Yes, those city lights they glare
Shining through the window here
I can see the traffic far below me now
And the colors are so red
In the headlights sit and stare
I can see that it's all far below me now

It's so far below me now
Just a short elevator down
And as quickly it goes up

It just comes back down
I can see that it's so far below me now

It's so far below me now
It's so far below me now
It's so far below me now
It is so far below me

I'm sailin' along here
I'm sailin'
I'm taking a good look
While I'm thinking

I'm feelin' alright, no complaints
I'm sleeping so good when it rains

I'm driving along here
I'm driving
I'm taking a good look
While I'm thinking

I'm feelin' alright, no complaints
I'm sleeping so good when it rains
Time goes by slowly when you think
It all seems just like yesterday

Yesterday
I yesterday
I yesterday
I yesterday

Freight Train


I heard a freight train back on the rail again
I heard a whistle blowin off in the distance
It's hot as hell here, the heat's been growin
It's hot as hell dear, oh well you know it
She's comin offa the rail throwin gravel
in a hell of a wave

I heard a freight train-been haulin hemp again
Yeah smokin on the rails,
yeah I need a head check
It's hot as hell here, feels like it's glowin
It's hot as hell dear, yeah now I'm goin
She comin offa da rail
Throwin gravel in a hell of a wave
Conductor he don't know,
radio the engineer to brake

Here come a freight train haulin the gold away
Another money car yeah in a big way
It's hot as hell here, I can't feel nothin
It's hot as hell dear, well ain't that somethin

She comin over the hill
She comin offa the rail and goin up

It's a critical solution
And the east coast got the blues
It's a mass of confusion
Like the lies they sell to you

You got a glass jawed toothache
Of a mental disease
An they be runnin' round back
See 'em line up on their knees
'Cause the kiss ass sycophants
Throwin' penance at your feet

When they got nowhere to go
Watch 'em come in off the streets
While they're bangin' out front
Inside their slammin' to the cruch
Go on an throw me to the lions
And the whole damn screamin' bunch
'Cause the pissed-off rip-offs
'R' everywhere you turn
Tell me how a generation's
Ever s'posed to learn
This fire is burnin'
and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock n' roll

I read it on a wall
It went straight to my head
It said "Dance to the tension
of a world on edge"
We got racial violence
And who'll cast the first stone
And sex is used anyway it can be
Sometimes when I look out
It's hard to see the day
It's a feelin' you can have it
It's not mine to take away

Lost in the garden of Eden
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the garden of Eden
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock n' roll
Suck on that

Looking through this point of view
There's no way I'm gonna fit in
Don't ya tell me what my eyes see
Don't ya tell me who to believe in
I ain't superstitious
But I know when somethin's wrong
I've been draggin' my heels
With a bitch called hope
Let the undercurrent drag me along

Lost in the garden of Eden
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the garden of Eden

Most organized religions make
A mockery of humanity
Our governments are dangerous
And out of control
The garden of Eden is just another graveyard
Said if they had someone to buy it
Said I'm sure they'd sell my soul

This fire is burnin' and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock n' roll
Lost in the garden of Eden
(An we ain't talkin' about no
poison apple or some missin' rib ya hear)
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
Said there's no one's gonna believe this
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock n' roll

It's a critical solution

Get away
Hey, put me down
Can't you see I wanna be
Back on the ground
Get away
Hey, put me down
Can't you see I wanna be
Back on the ground

Ever wonder about the road
You've chosen down the line
Ever wanna go and try and change it

Ever wonder about the road
You've chosen down the line
Ever wanna go and try and change it

Ever wanna go and try
And change your crooked line
Ever thought to go and take the last train

All I ever wanted was some more
Always put me right down on the floor
I decided to get out and change my lane
Little change was all it took

Good Enough


Good enough for someday
Good enough for me
Good enough for someone
Good enough ya see

Been lookin for the words ta tell ya what I'd say
I'd have to make them up
and write them down today

Good enough forever
Good until my grave
Good enough for after
Good enough ta save

The nerves are damaged from the blinking
of the strobe, and I'm not one to question
what he done it for

Good enough for something
Good enough for me
Good enough for someone
Good enough ya see

I'm done lookin for the words to tell ya what I'd say
I'd have ta make them up and write them today
Write them down to play
Write them down to say

Good enough for me

Gotta Say


Got another phone call
Tellin me the words
Got another story for me to learn
Say the truth out walkin
Walked right out my door,
I didn't try to follow,
cause I knew the score

Tell me what you got ta say
I see through you anyway
I think you have underestimated me
And tell me what you got ta say
I see through it anyway
I think you have once again...

Never mind the weather, never mind your head
I know why you're callin on me here today
-things are goin fine now
Yeah all's well I'd say
The one thing that troubles me is
when ya call my name

Tell me what you got ta say
I see through you anyway
I think you have underestimated me
And tell me what you got ta say
I see through it anyway
I think you have once again

Heading to Cali
On a come back track
Taking all my money
Got my bags all packed
Coming back from Reno
It's along way back
Never had the money
Had to hitchhike, yeah

Head on out
Head on out
Head on out
To where you've never been

Heading out to Cali
On a half sunk raft
Took in all my money
With a special flask
It's a funky zoo man
Turn you half beast champ
Pass another hit man
Don't you bogart that

Head on out because you're nowhere
Head on out you go and see
Head on out way past the mountain
Where you've never been

Here Before You


Yeah I was here before you
No matter what you do
You think about that first
Yeah I was here before you

All wound up over nothin at all
-you gotta reel yourself back in
You ain't first but ya sure ain't last,
and that's a call that I have seen
You're up front in the second heat,
ya got your head lined up in check

They're getting ready ta start it
They're getting ready ta go

Yeah I was here before you
No matter what you do
You think about that first
Yeah I was here before you

Big talk don't mean a lot
when the final flag comes down
Yeah who's who at the finish line
I'm gonna wear that great big crown
Ya talking bomb, but I'll wait and see
Who's gonna be there, in the end
I'm already started
I'm fired up to go

Love

Is it true
What they say of you
Gonna call the President
Gonna call a Private Eye
Gonna get the IRS
Gonna need the FBI
There's not anymore that I can do
All the reasons that you give
I follow you
So when you lead them
in that'll be the end
of time it's true
Wouldnt be the first time
I've been WRONG
Wouldnt be the last
I'M SURE I've Known
With all the rumors
I can tell
Some things didn't work so well
Well anyway it feels the same
As when you first
told me you were gone
So long ago but I still held on
Through all the EMOTIONS
that I've had to take
And thats the truth
and here's the worst yet
Wouldn't even matter
the things that I say
You've made your mind
up and gone anyway
And there's no use now
in dragging it on
Should've seen
it coming all along

Well it's true
ooh I had
My doubts of you
Gonna call the President
Gonna call myself a Private Eye
Gonna need the IRS
Gonna get the FBI
Gonna make this a federal case
Gonna wave it right
down in your face
Read it baby
with your morning news
With a sweet hangover
And the headlines too now

Ah ah Ah ah

I bet you think
I'm doing this all for my health
I should've looked again
then at somebody else
Feelin like
I've done way more than wrong
Feelin like
I'm livin inside of this song
Feelin like
I'm just too tired to care
Feelin like
I've done more than my share
Could've been the way
that I carried on
Like a broken record for so long
And I do
Ooh oh
I'm Gonna call the President
I'm gonna call a private Eye
Gonna get the IRS
Gonna need myself the FBI
Oooh What shall I do
If I gave my heart to you
It's such a crime you know
it's true

Gonna call the president
Gonna need myself a private eye
Ooh gonna need the IRS
Gonna get the FBI
Gonna make it a federal case
Gonna wave it right
down in your face
Read it baby with your
morning news
With the sweet hangover
and the headlines too
There's not anymore
that I can do

If the world would end today
All the dreams we had
would all just drift away
You know theres nothing more to say
If the world would end
would our love slip away

I never knew the way
that you looked at me
Would ever mean so much to me
In my heart I found the feelings
that I've never shown
Now they've got the best of me
If the world would end today
All the dreams we had
would all just drift away
You know theres nothing more to say
If the world would end
would our love slip away

I never thought all the love
I was looking for
Could ever be so close to me
Your the only one
that I've ever loved
that has ever loved me
And now you've got the best of me
If the world would end today
All the dreams we had
would all just drift away
You know theres nothing more to say

If the world would end today
All the dreams we had
would all just drift away
You know theres nothing more to say
If the world would end
would our love sift away

You think you're so cool
Why don't you just Fuck off

Ya get nothin' for nothin' If that's what ya do
Turn around bitch I got a use for you
Besides you ain't got nothin' better to do
And I'm bored

It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me baby
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me
So easy
But nothin' seems to please me
It all fits so right
When I fade into the night
So come with me
Don't ask me where 'cause I don't know
I'll try ta please you
I ain't got no money but it goes to show
It's so easy

You're only human
Why you packing that load
You make it heavy
'Til you fall in the road
Year after year
You keep going nowhere

Why you're so lonely
Is you piss and you moan
Any lessons you're shown
Doesn't it show
Year after year
You keep going nowhere

'Til you have no choice
But to jump in the water
'Til you have no choice
But to jump in now

If you've an SOS
You send it on time
Communication
Is your only device
Year after year
You keep going nowhere

Imagine you can run it
All on your own
You talk about it
You've got nothing to show
Year after year
You keep going nowhere

Sink or swim
And I don't think that you'll make it
You have no choice left
So jump in or drown

Jump in or drown

I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down
in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way
back my way anymore
Oh no I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down
in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
Oh that I can't find my way
back my way anymore
Oh no I

Forgive them that tear down my soul
Bless them that they might grow old
And free them so that they may know
That it's never too late
For the many times
what seemed like a memory
I've searched and found the ways
you used to lure me in
I found the way
oh why it had to be
Mired in denial and so afraid
If we ever find it's true
That we have the strength to choose
Our freedom or the chains
We held together

I'm gonna tell you a story
Stand up for righteousness
What Stand up for justice
What Stand up for truth
How can a person grow up
with all this around them
You got to call on that something
Where does it come from
That can make a way out of no way
All this hatred
What we've got here is Fear
That power that can make a way
out of now no way
Failure to communicate
I tell ya I seen the lightning
I've heard the thunder roll
Everybody's acting like
we can do anything
and it don't matter what we do
Maybe we gotta be extra careful
because maybe it matters more than
we even know
Sometimes Hatred isn't somethin'
you're born with
I feel discouraged
It gets taught
Sometimes I feel discouraged
I felt this fear
He promised never to leave me
never to leave me alone
no never alone no never alone
Let's get something straight alright
Promised never to leave me
This whole thing was fucked up
Never to leave me alone
All men betray All lose heart
I don't want to lose heart
I want to believe
Together at the table
of brotherhood
I have a dream
Free at last Free at last
Thank God almighty
WE ARE FREE AT LAST
I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down
in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way
back my way anymore
Oh no I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down
in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way
back my way anymore

It's so hard to find piece of mind

The way I see it
You got to say 'shee-it'
But don't forget to drop me a line

Bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for daddy's such a drag

Memphis


Well, Long Distance Information
Give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find a party
That tried to get in touch with me
Did not leave a number
But I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took the message
And he wrote it on the wall

Yeah, help me, Information
Get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call me here
From Memphis, Tennessee
Her home is on the southside
High upon a ridge
Just a half a mile
From the Mississippi Bridge

Oh help me, Information
More than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her
And all the fun we had
Marie was torn apart
Because her mom did not agree
Tore apart our happy home
In Memphis, Tennessee

Oh last time I saw Marie
She's wavin' me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek
Trickle from her eye

Marie is only six years old
Information, please
Try to put me through to her
In Memphis, Tennessee

When you're all alone
Someday you'll find someone
That you can call your own
But till then ya better...
Now you're clean
And so discreet
I won't say a word
But most of all this song is true
Case you haven't heard
So c'mon and stop your cryin'
'Cause we both know money burns
Honey don't stop tryin;
An you'll get what you deserve

But now she's underground

So you stay out late at night
And you do your coke for free
Drivin' your friends crazy
With your life's insanity

Well, well, well, you just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle
Look out

Sowin' all your wild oats
In another's luxuries
Yesterday was Tuesday
Maybe Thursday you can sleep

But school starts much too early
And this hotel wasn't free
So party till your connection calls
Honey, I'll return the key

Well, well, well, you just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle
Well, well, well, you never can tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle

Everyone needs love
You know that it's true
Someday you'll find someone
That'll fall in love with you

But oh the time it takes
When you're all alone
Someday you'll find someone
That you can call your own
But till then you better

Now you're clean and so discreet
I won't say a word
But most of all this song is true
Case you haven't heard

So c'mon and stop your cryin'
We both now money burns
Honey don't stop tryin'
And you'll get what you deserve

Well, well, well, you just can't tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle
Well, well, well, you never can tell
Well, well, well, my Michelle

My, my, my Michelle
My, my, my Michelle
Ooh, my, my, my Michelle
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Michelle
Michelle

She hit town like a rose in bloom
Smellin' sweet, said sweet perfume
The color faded and the petals died
Down in the city, no one cried
In the streets, the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
The roaches so big
You know that they got bones
They moved in and made a tenement home

I said nice boys
Don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
I'm not a nice boy!

Sweet sixteen she was fresh and clean
Wanted so bad to be part of the scene
She met the man and she did the smack
Paid the price layin' flat on her back
Wanted so bad just to please the boys
They ended up just being a toy
Played so hard burned her life away
Lies were told no promises made

You know nice boys
Don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
I'm not a nice boy and I never was!

Young and fresh when she hit town
Hot for kicks just to get around
But now she lays in a filthy room
She kills the pain with
A flick and a spoon
And in the streets the garbage lies
Protected by a million flies
You know the roaches so big
You know that they got bones
Moved in and made a tenement home

Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
No,no,no,no,no,no,no,no baby
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll

'Nice boys don't play rock and roll'
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll
Nice boys don't play rock and roll

Loaded like a freight train

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darling, when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

Nothing lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long, long time
Just trying to kill the pain, ooh yeah
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's letting go today, walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head just knowing that you were mine, all mine

So if you want to love me
Then darling, don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walking
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time on your own?
Do you need some time all alone?
Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own
Ooh, don't you know you need some time all alone?

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you?
Oh!

Sometimes I need some time on my own
Sometimes I need some time all alone
Everybody needs some time on their own
Don't you know you need some time all alone?

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame

So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
Nothing lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't you think that you need somebody?
Don't you think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't you think that you need somebody?
Don't you think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't you think that you need somebody?
Don't you think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't you think that you need somebody?
Don't you think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody

When I look into your eyes.
I can see a love restrained.
But darlin when I hold you,
don't you know I feel the same.
Cause nothin lasts forever,
and we both know hearts can change.
And it's hard to hold a candle,
in the cold November rain.
We've been through this such a long long time,

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's reallly sure who's lettin go today.
Walking away.
If we could take the time to lay it on the line.
I could rest my head,
just knowin that you were mine, all mine.
So if you want to love me,
then darlin don't refrain.
Or I'll just end up walkin,

Do you need some time on your own.
Do you need some time all alone.
Everybody needs some time on their own.
Don't you know you need some time all alone.
I know it's hard to keep an open heart.

Old Hat


I don't really need no, no bag o' cocaine
I don't really need no, no fold a smack
Been there and done that, that ain't too clever
I sure don't miss it had enough of that crap

Bank robbers shootin up North Hollywood yeah
Seems like a rerun livin on this town
I go see a movie, try and entertain me
It don't half compare to the shit
that's goin down around here

It's old hat
It's old hat
It's old hat
But I sure do like the sound of that

I don't really need no, no sub machine gun
Your paranoia is getting old
But I wouldn't mind to have myself a bazooka
I'd go play Elvis and blow a hole in my heart

It's old hat
It's old hat
It's old hat
But I sure do like the sound of that
It's old hat
It's old hat
It's old hat

Guess I needed
sometime to get away
I needed some piece of mind
Some piece of mind that'll stay
So I thumbed it
down to Sixth and LA
Maybe a Greyhound could be my way
Police and Niggers that's right
Get out of my way
Don't need to buy none of your
Gold chains today
I don't need no bracelets
Clamped in front of my back
Just need my ticket 'til then
Won't you cut me some slack
You're one in a million
that's what you are
You're one in a million babe
You're a shooting star
Maybe someday we'll see you
Before you make us cry
You know we tried to reach you
But you were much too high
Much too high much too high
Much too high yes
Immigrants and faggots
They make no sense to me
They come to our country
And think they'll do as they please
Like start some mini Iran
Or spread some fuckin' disease
They talk so many goddamn ways
It's all Greek to me
Well some say I'm lazy
And others say that's just me
Some say I'm crazy
I guess I'll always be
But it's been such a long time
Since I knew right from wrong
It's all the means to an end I
I keep it movin' along
You're one in a million

Don't point your finger at me

Well you can always find a place to go
If you can keep your sanity They break down the doors
And they rape my right but
They won't touch me They screm and yell
And fight all night You can't tell me
I lose my head I close my eyes
They won't touch me 'cause I got somethin'
I been buildin' up inside For so fuckin' long

They're out ta get me They won't catch me
I'm innocent They won't break me

Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're goin'
Sometimes it's harder to leave
And everytime you think you know just what you're doin'
That's when your troubles exceed
They push me in a corner just to get me to fight but
They won't touch me They preach and yell
And fight all night You can't tell me
I lose my head I close my eyes
They won't touch me 'cause I got somethin'
I been buildin' up inside I'm already gone

(Chorus)

Some people got a chip on their shoulder
An some would say it was me
But I didn't buy that fifth of whiskey
That you gave me So I'd be quick to disagree

(Chorus)

They're out ta get me They won't catch me
I'm innocent So you can Suck me
Take that one to heart

Been hidin' out and layin' low
It's nothing new to me
Well, you can always find a place to go
If you can keep your sanity

They break down the doors and they rape my rights but
They won't touch me
They scream and yell and fight all night
You can't tell me

I lose my head, I close my eyes
They won't touch me
'Cause I got somethin' 've been buildin' up inside
For so fuckin' long

They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm fuckin' innocent
They won't break me

Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're goin'
Sometimes it's harder to leave
And ev'rytime you think you know just what you're doin'
That's when your troubles exceed

They push me in a corner just to get me to fight but
They won't touch me
They preach and yell and fight all night
You can't tell me

I lose my head, I close my eyes
They won't touch me
'Cause I got somethin' I've been buildin' up inside
I'm already gone

They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
'Cause I'm innocent
They won't break me

No, no
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, oh, no, no, no
Let me see you try

Some people got a chip on their shoulder
And some would say it was me
But I didn't buy that fifth of whiskey that you gave me
So I'd be quick to disagree

They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm fuckin' innocent
They won't break me

They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
'Cause I'm innocent
So you can suck me

Take that one to heart

Take me down To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
and the girls are pretty
I want you please Take me home
Take me down To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
and the girls are pretty
I want you please Take me home

Just a urchin livin'
under the street
I'm a hard case
that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So buy me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line

Ragz to richez or so they say
Ta gotta keep pushin'
for the fortune and fame
It's all a gamble
When it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin' their time
Take me down To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
and the girls are pretty
I want you please Take me home
Take me down To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
and the girls are pretty
Take me home

Strapped in the chair
of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't
quite remember
The surgeon general says
it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette
but I can't see
Tell me who ya gonna believe
Take me down To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
and the girls are pretty
Take me home
Take me down To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
and the girls are pretty
I want you please Take me home

So far away so far away
so far away so far away
Captain America's been apart Now
he's court jester
with a breken heart
He said Turn me around
and take me back to the start
I must be losin' my mind
Are you blind

Take me down To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
