You don't even know, where I've been or where I'm coming from, at all
Who was the one who said nothing's impossible, who was wrong Who was the one to even say at all, anything is possible You ask me where I'm going, I don't even know myself I couldn't say 'cos it's undecided on which way I should go I don't know! I've been invited but I just can't make it Got too excited and I just can't take it My fuel ignited, got too exited I've been invited but I just can't take it no more (Solo) How am I to show, what I'm feeling deep down in my heart, in my soul No other way but by a miracle - anything's not possible I don't know where I'm goin', you don't even know yourself You couldn't say 'cos it's undecided on which way you should go Do you know? I've been invited but I just can't make it Got too excited and I just can't take it My fuel ignited, got too exited, I took the message celebrating again I guess it must have been at least an hour or more I must've had myself some powerful thoughts I've been invited but I just can't make it Got too excited and I just can't take anymore (Solo) I've been invited but I just can't make it Got too excited and I just can't take it My fuel ignited, got too exited I've been invited but I just can't make it - at all |

Love walked away Soon after I would learn Only never to return Feeling life was through Like it was to you Save me before I drown Put me up on dryer ground And I meant what I said When I told you I'd never love like this again I wanna hold you in my arms Wrap my legs around your pretty self If only words could explain I'd surely tell ya now How I feel about everything I'd never let you down And you better believe You can count on me I couldn't ask for better friends I'd never love like this again (oh no) This love is real So much I feel it So deep inside As though our hearts are synchronized Since you became the color of my life I'll never make it in black and white Or pales or shades of gray You come around then go away And I meant every word I said When I told you I'd never love like this again I wanna show you You're in my heart You're in my soul You're all I wanna know If only words could explain I'd surely tell ya now How I feel about everything I'd never let you down And you better believe That you can count on me What does that really mean? I'd never know for sure I don't know what to believe I only know what I'm feeling I'm going to a place I've never been before I just cant help myself Can't help what I'm feeling If only words could explain If only words could explain If only words could explain If only words could explain Baby how I feel |

Now, if you can imagine this, the whole world sharing one big kiss
These are thoughts all through my brain, that I daydream everyday That I'm alive and well, and right now, I'm alive, I'm feeling...well It's my life to live my way, so I'll keep daydreaming away And who knows, maybe someday, it will all come true And I will get my way, and we will live as one I'm caught up in a dream, I'm gonna wish for it all No one's gonna tell me how, no way, this is my dream now I'm caught up in what seems simply impossible I ain't gonna change a thing, no way, it's my dream And what cannot will be done, for every living thing under the sun Forget color, forget race, and just be one big happy face Among this sea of people, live among God's creatures, sharing love That was sent down from above, here to share with one another Father, brother, sister, mother, everybody sharing love, sharing love I'm caught up in a dream, I'm gonna wish for it all No one's gonna tell me how, no way, this is my dream now I'm caught up in what seems simply impossible I ain't gonna change a thing, no way, it's my dream, this is my dream What if...I close my eyes and everything will be alright Here in my fantasy, living in harmony Make my dream come alive I'm caught up in a dream, I'm gonna wish for it all No one's gonna tell me how, no way, this is my dream now I'm caught up in what seems simply impossible I ain't gonna change a thing, no way, it's my dream I'm caught up in a dream, I'm gonna wish for it all No one's gonna tell me how, no way, this is my dream now I'm caught up in what seems simply impossible I ain't gonna change a thing, no way, it's my dream Now, if you can imagine this, the whole world sharing one big kiss Take away the pain and hurt, make like heaven here on earth Without reason to die, and given everlasting life for all |

Such a heavy price to pay,
all the time that I spent missing home, and I try not to complain, but sometimes it won't leave me alone, and I think that I know myself better than anyone else. Cause I'm me I ought to know, what I want, what I need, what's inside of me. Maybe something that took, to get out of my head or took for the thrill, the way that I dress, the way that I look, or the way that I pay the bills. Cause your miles away, miles away, how could you be so wrong, cause your miles away, miles away, how could you know the score. All eyes on the stage now the glitter and the glow. Move to the rhythm while striking a pose. Music and melody words to a poem. You think that you know me, you're not even close. Though I'm living out my dreams, wasn't long 'till I figured it out. Nothin' ever comes for free even here on a merry-go-round. So you wanna take a ride, rollin' and living the life, cause you think I got it made. Well in case you don't know my friend died today, and it's tearing me apart. If I knew what to say, don't know where to start. I reach down in my heart and with paper and pen put it in a song. 'Cause you're miles away, miles away, how could you be so wrong? 'Cause you're miles away, miles away, how could you know the score? All eyes on the stage, all the glitter and glow. Move to the rhythm while striking a pose. Music and melody and words to a poem. You think that you know me, You're not even close. The pages have burned but they're written in stone. Now what will become of us now nobody knows, and the wheel keeps on turning and I rise and I fall, and I'll try to get back but I'm lost in it all, and I look all around and I see that it's gone. Your miles away. Miles away. 'Guitar Solo' Your miles away. Yeah your miles away. Miles away. Yeah your miles away. |

What i feel is what i say,
I’m keeping it real so never mind the taste, Cause i know there’s nothing deeper than truth, So give me the reason not the excuse, Even the things i can hardly believe, Is something that i can use, I’ll never be your alibi, Or tell you what you want to hear, Knowing that i’d rather die. Than have my words be insincere, I GOT NO GLORY, So i’m gonna give it to you like it is, If you want to hear the real story, And not some candy coated lie COME AND GET IT To falsify don’t make no sense, I’d rather deal with the consequences, Cause i know there’s nothing deeper than truth, So give me the reason not the excuse, Even the things i can hardly believe, Is something that i can use I’ll never need an alibi, Don’t sell it to me out of fear I told you that i’d rather die. Than have my words be insincere I GOT NO GLORY, So i’m gonna give it to you like it is, If you want to hear the real story, And not some candy coated lie I GOT NO GLORY, So i’m gonna give it to you like it is, If you want to hear the real story, And not some candy coated lie COME AND GET IT |

You can come around
And I will help find a way If somethin's got you down Just one of those days That you find you are caught in the middle Feelin' like there aint no way out And it hurts you more than just a little Got your head all full of doubts I'll be your shelter from the rain Until it's time to swim Be there to help you share the pain While never givin' in We'll keep it unconditional Chorus: Come to me If you need some one And you're lookin' for some company Come to me And I'll be there Aint nothing like a friend No matter what you do Who's always there till the end It's like you got nothing to lose What about getting lost in the shuffle Locked out when you're wantin' in Got caught gettin' caught in the struggle Knock you down - I'll pick you up again And those days turn into lonely nights And those nights into lonely days I may not get it right But I'll help you find a way We'll take it all day by day Come to me If you need some one And you're lookin' for some company If you need some one Know that you can count on me If you need some one Know that you can come to me If somethin' bursted your bubble Oh baby, your fortress has crumbled Well there aint nothing' wrong with bein' humble Cause humble is good for your soul We all need'everybody needs Someone to hold You can come around I will help find away If somethin's got you down Just one of those days Long days and lonely nights Long nights and lonely days May not get it right but I'll help get it right Take it day by day Chorus |

Wonderful lady
Such a beautiful baby Gonna teach him what's wrong and what's right Gonna show him direction With love and affection Gonna make his connection in life But now things didn't go the way she thought they would He think's God is the devil and evil is good He probably wouldn't change it even if he could at all *CHORUS* All you know is what you feel You got to read between the lines What is not and what is real You got to learn how to recognize What you're holdin' in your hands What you see before your eyes If you're gonna understand You got to learn how to recognize Heart is in danger Well, love is a stranger When the fear turns the anger to rage It's not makin' any sense 'Cause you don't know the difference Wouldn't know it if it slapped you in the face Now it's all mixed up It's all a big mistake He don't know the difference between love and hate He probably wouldn't change it even if he could at all *REPEAT CHORUS* Why should I understand When I could not comprehend what you say Just shove it in my face But if I cannot be made I'm gonna understand But now things didn't go the way she thought they would He think's God is the devil and evil is good He probably wouldn't change it even if he could at all *REPEAT CHORUS 2X* Recognize |

In a world far from perfect
It's not always easy to connect Where everything can be so complicated I know that 'simply, you're the best' I don't want nobody else, I only want you Wanna keep you for myself, it's selfish, but true I don't want anything, to ever come between us 'Cause I don't want nobody else In a world far from perfect...still One never knows what to expect, so tell me what will I do? So hard to think of you as 'dearly departed' If only desperation could resurrect 'Cause I don't want nobody else, I only want you Not some picture on a shelf, no...'cause that won't carry me through How does debilitated, find the strength to make it through 'Cause I don't want nobody else, only you Now I don't want nobody else, I only want you And not some picture on a shelf, on no... 'Cause that won't carry me through How does asphyxiated, ever find the breath to make it through 'Cause I don't want nobody else, I don't want nobody else, only you, only you... |

You had it right in the palm of your hand, right before your eyes
Now it's gone and you don't understand, you've got to realize There comes a time when you've got to let things go as fast as they come Wait and see what tomorrow may bring you, get it all while you can Sometimes it just feels so right, and other times so wrong Every new day it brings on the night, the change goes on and on and on and on It never stops, no it keeps on rollin', wiped away like an [arch of] sand Here it comes, there it goes, always changin' ends Ez come ez go, ez come ez go, that's what they call it Ez come ez go, ez come ez go, oh no!

Down on the corner, walkin' the streets. She smiles for ev'ryone she meets. He's not a man, no, he's just another trick. She'd do it all just to get that fix. Did you do it for love? Did you do it in the name of love? No, it ain't love she's gonna find. She's got just one thing on her mind: Chorus: Money. She did, she did it for the money. All in the name of money. All for the dirty green. Cold in the city with the traffic slow. He's got nobody, no place to call home. But he's got a habit, oh, that he can't control; Takin' hard earned money from a poor, helpless soul. Didn't do it for love. Didn't do it in the name of love. No, it ain't love he's out to find. He's got just one thing on his mind: Chorus: Money. He did, he did it for the money. All in the name of money. All for the dirty green. Bridge: And the young girl, she gets down on her knees, she's there to please. She wants her money. And then the young man says, "Now, put your hands in the air. Give me what I want, Give me what I need. Now don't you see? All I want, all I want, all I want is your money, yeah. Give it to me!" He's got the money, left the scene of the crime. Not a clue would he leave behind. One's bad misfortune make for another's eats. And now the young girl's trick's his treat. Chorus: Money. He did, he did it for the money. All in the name of money. All for the dirty green. For the money. He did it, did it for the money. All in the name of money. All for the dirty green. |

You know I ain't got nothin' but time To burn with you tonight. 2nd Pre-chorus: Now anything you see is everything you get At your desire. I know it's makin' you hot and know it's soakin' me wet.

You're guilty of crime in the first degree,
Second and third as well. My jury finds you'll be serving your time When you go straight to hell. 'Cause he was Lord of the Lightning, Though "socially frightening", But never out to sell. Their nickels and pence Meant more than did sense, And not the sensible thing. Nor did the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. All along, world was wrong. You was right. All that he saw, all he conceived, They just could not believe. Steinmetz and Twain were friends that remained, Along with number three. He was electromagnetic, completely kinetic, "New Wizard of the West." But they swindled and whined that he wasn't our kind, And said Edison knew best. He was the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. Said you was outta your mind! You took a shot and it did you in. Edison's medicine. You played your cards, but you couldn't win. Edison's medicine. I spent twelve years of hard time, More like the best years of my life. Never heard or read a single word About "the man" and his "wicked mind." They'll sell you on Marconi. Familiar, but a phony. Story goes they sold their souls And swore that you'd never know. About the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. Swore you was outta your mind! You took a shot and it did you in. Edison's medicine. You played your cards, but you couldn't win. Edison's medicine. |

I'm in love with a lady
And I know the lady's in love with me And she knows how to always be there That's why she's willin' and ready But now and then, every once in a while Something inside of me, maybe inside of her... Have you ever had one of those days Where it all is going wrong And it just can't seem to get along? But through it all you know you're gonna make it. Call it true love Call it not meant to be You can call it anything at all, you see. Call it what you want It's all the same to me. Music means a lot to me Like love, I make it when I can. All I am is all I'll ever be And that's just a boy from Texarkana. But now and then oh, but once in a while, They start treating me like some kind of superstar. Need I mention, at the end of the day What matters most of all It's not where you're at Or where you're comin' from When all is said and done You can call it... Heavy metal, hard-core, pop, punk, or thrash You can call it anything, it don't matter to me Call it what you want It's all music to me Call it communism, call it free Some call the ocean what some call the sea Call it what you want That doesn't change a thing for me Not a thing... Baby's lyin' in the cradle Universe is all within his reach Wearin' rags or mink and sable Needs a guidin' hand or it's out on the streets Now momma's out She's never at home Daddy's taking care of business He's out on the road It's rainin' cats and dogs But the child within us all must face the storm Call it individuality Some call it fate, others reality Call it what you want It doesn't matter to me Call it communism, call it free Some call the ocean what some call the sea Call it what you want That doesn't change a thing for me Not a thing! |

Now teacher, teacher, can't you see, I'm tired and I need some sleep. I don't wanna hear whatcha gotta say About arithmetic or history. All that jive don't mean a thing to me. It's all a waste of time. I ain't got no time for doin' this, Ain't got no time for doin' that, Ain't got no time for that at all, no! I ain't got no time for messin' 'round, For funky bullshit goin' down. Just time for rock-n-roll. Oh yeah. I just got time to rock-n-roll. Why now, must they take my favorite song, Turn around and say it's wrong, when I know it's right? Now, why don't they just leave it alone, 'Cause it's only rock-n-roll, but I like it!! Now, listen Mrs. Politician, Don't ya try to tell me how to sing my song. Tell me, who do you think you are?! Who do you think you are?! I ain't got no time for messin' 'round, For funky bullshit goin' down. No time for that at all, no! I ain't got no time for Uncle Sam, Taxin' my money, tax my land.

All you government personnel, Sittin' awf'ly well In your big, white house up on the hill. You say now, give me a home Where the buffalo roam, Where the deer and antelope play. You can bet your ass we'll blow them all away. Fuck it up until it's bent, Then a-wonder where it went. Thinkin' you was a-heaven sent, ha ha ha, You're nothin' but hell! Go straight to hell. |

I pledge no allegiance to your flag.
I feel I got me some damn good reasons for feelin' bad. Way they take away ev'ry mother's son, If you want freedom now, it's got to be won. It's only bullets. It's just a gun. Ain't gon' hurt no one. I don't know what they must be thinkin'. Makin' decisions on a hard night's drinkin'. Momma, gon' take your little boy. Gonna make him 'to a man, Make him a stranger in a strange land. (Chorus:) Freedom slaves What have you done Freedom slaves With ev'ry mother's son? Freedom slaves Can't ya see that we're all freedom slaves? Freedom slaves What have you done? Freedom slaves And all for number one. Freedom slaves It's clear to see that we're all freedom slaves. No sign of justice nor liberty By takin' an Indian Nation, 'cause they was all that we wanted to be. All good people from the Kingdom of the Sun. Welcome to freedom. Now, there's work to be done. It's only natural to know it's wrong. Why did it go so long? I don't know what next they'll be killin', Rapin' the land with pollution and spillin'. Here's to the tired, to the hungry, to the helpless and the poor. Is there no glory for blisters and sores? (Chorus) Who are those people? So patriotically sittin' back of tables POn their asses, lickin' labels, tryin' to change me. You'd think the way they act, the way they carry on, You'd think that I was the devil's Seventh Son. But it's only words. It's just a song. Ain't gonna hurt no one. (Chorus) Freedom slaves. Freedom slaves. Freedom slaves. Attention! About Face! March! Left, right, left, right, left, right. Your momma, she was a....(fade out) |

I don't need no food, no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time. Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave. Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'. nothing left to save But my life. Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah. Stood on a ridge and shunned religion, thinking the world was mine. I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying. All that fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to an early grave. Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save But my life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life. So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion, thinking the world was mine. I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying. I was stealing when I should have been buying, I was stealing when I should have been buying. Stealing When I should have been buying Stealing When I should have been buying Stealing when I should have been buying Stealing When I should have been buying Stealing When I should have been buying Stealing, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah Stealing When I should have been buying Stealing Rock and roll! |

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry
I don't want to lose this feeling And if I could choose a place to die It would be in your arms Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you? Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back? I'd gladly do it, because I don't want to fade away Give me one more day, please I don't want to fade away In your heart I want to stay It's all wrong but it's alright The way that you treat me, baby Once I was strong but I lost the fight But you won't find a better loser Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you? Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back? I'd gladly do it, because I don't want to fade away Give me one more day, please I don't want to fade away In your heart I want to stay Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you? Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back? I'd gladly do it, because I don't want to fade away Give me one more day, please I don't want to fade away In your heart I want to stay Bell bottom blues don't say goodbye We're surely gonna meet again And if we do, don't you be surprised If you find me with another lover, oh Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you? Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back? I'd gladly do it, because I don't want to fade away Give me one more day, please I don't want to fade away In your heart I want to stay I don't want to fade away Give me one more day, please I don't want to fade away In your heart I want to stay I don't want to fade away Give me one more day, please I don't want to fade away In your heart I want to stay |

I met a gin-soaked bar-room queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride She had to heave me right across her shoulder 'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind It's the honky tonk women Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues I laid a divorcee in New York City I had to put up some kind of a fight The lady then she covered me in roses She blew my nose and then she blew my mind It's the honky tonk women Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues It's the honky tonk women Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues It's the honky tonk women Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues |

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy Do anything take us out of this gloom Sing a song, play guitar Make it snappy You are the one who can make us all laugh But doing that you break out in tears Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had We wouldn't have known you all these years repeat x2 |

You're guilty of crime in the first degree,
Second and third as well. My jury finds you'll be serving your time When you go straight to hell. 'Cause he was Lord of the Lightning, Though "socially frightening", But never out to sell. Their nickels and pence Meant more than did sense, And not the sensible thing. Nor did the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. All along, world was wrong. You was right. All that he saw, all he conceived, They just could not believe. Steinmetz and Twain were friends that remained, Along with number three. He was electromagnetic, completely kinetic, "New Wizard of the West." But they swindled and whined that he wasn't our kind, And said Edison knew best. He was the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. Said you was outta your mind! You took a shot and it did you in. Edison's medicine. You played your cards, but you couldn't win. Edison's medicine. I spent twelve years of hard time, More like the best years of my life. Never heard or read a single word About "the man" and his "wicked mind." They'll sell you on Marconi. Familiar, but a phony. Story goes they sold their souls And swore that you'd never know. About the man outta time, man outta time. Thought you was crazy. You was one of a kind. Man outta time, man outta time. Swore you was outta your mind! You took a shot and it did you in. Edison's medicine. You played your cards, but you couldn't win. Edison's medicine. |

I ain't no program on your television screen.
They only taught me what they wanted me to be. Heard all your so-called facts. Now hit me with the truth. Takes a lotta nerve the way you played me for the fool. It's my personal selection to fly in my own direction. No time for fuckin' 'round with mediocrity. Takes ev'rything I got just tryin' to be me. Life's like a highway. We're all try'n' to stay on time. Travel atcha own speed. You take your lane, I'll take mine. Don't believe all that you hear or half of whatcha see. 'S'waste o' time to criticize. Don't de-rock me. (Chorus:) Don't de-rock me. Don't de-rock me. You be you and I'll be me. Don't de-rock me. "Backstage Betty", banana in her cherry, in the shower down on her knees. Like to think she'll own ya if she'll do all that ya please. Hurts like a mother bein' cursed by a punter who's five sheets to the wind. Won't stop at nothin', claimin' to be cousin till security lets 'em in. Now I'm no symbol of perfection, so why deal with this infection? Tired of bein' treated like some piece of property. Fakes, lies, patronizin' don't sit well with me. Blastin' down the highway, try'n' to stay between the lines. You can get to where you're go'n'. Just don't ignore the signs. Don't de-rock me. Don't de-rock me. 'S'waste o' time to criticize. Don't de-rock me. (Chorus) |

I'm in love with a lady
And I know the lady's in love with me And she knows how to always be there That's why she's willin' and ready But now and then, every once in a while Something inside of me, maybe inside of her... Have you ever had one of those days Where it all is going wrong And it just can't seem to get along? But through it all you know you're gonna make it. Call it true love Call it not meant to be You can call it anything at all, you see. Call it what you want It's all the same to me. Music means a lot to me Like love, I make it when I can. All I am is all I'll ever be And that's just a boy from Texarkana. But now and then oh, but once in a while, They start treating me like some kind of superstar. Need I mention, at the end of the day What matters most of all It's not where you're at Or where you're comin' from When all is said and done You can call it... Heavy metal, hard-core, pop, punk, or thrash You can call it anything, it don't matter to me Call it what you want It's all music to me Call it communism, call it free Some call the ocean what some call the sea Call it what you want That doesn't change a thing for me Not a thing... Baby's lyin' in the cradle Universe is all within his reach Wearin' rags or mink and sable Needs a guidin' hand or it's out on the streets Now momma's out She's never at home Daddy's taking care of business He's out on the road It's rainin' cats and dogs But the child within us all must face the storm Call it individuality Some call it fate, others reality Call it what you want It doesn't matter to me Call it communism, call it free Some call the ocean what some call the sea Call it what you want That doesn't change a thing for me Not a thing! |

Time.
You've got to wake up ev'rybody, Seven-thirty o'clock, It's time to go to work. A-send the young to school, Gonna teach them the golden rule. Talk about things that they don't wanna know about. Now teacher, teacher, can't you see, I'm tired and I need some sleep. I don't wanna hear whatcha gotta say About arithmetic or history. All that jive don't mean a thing to me. It's all a waste of time. I ain't got no time for doin' this, Ain't got no time for doin' that, Ain't got no time for that at all, no! I ain't got no time for messin' 'round, For funky bullshit goin' down. Just time for rock-n-roll. Oh yeah. I just got time to rock-n-roll. Why now, must they take my favorite song, Turn around and say it's wrong, when I know it's right? Now, why don't they just leave it alone, 'Cause it's only rock-n-roll, but I like it!! Now, listen Mrs. Politician, Don't ya try to tell me how to sing my song. Tell me, who do you think you are?! Who do you think you are?! I ain't got no time for messin' 'round, For funky bullshit goin' down. No time for that at all, no! I ain't got no time for Uncle Sam, Taxin' my money, tax my land. Just time for rock-n-roll, woh yeah! I just got time to rock-n-roll! Tell 'em, Frankie!! |

Go straight to hell,
All you government personnel, Sittin' awf'ly well In your big, white house up on the hill. You say now, give me a home Where the buffalo roam, Where the deer and antelope play. You can bet your ass we'll blow them all away. Fuck it up until it's bent, Then a-wonder where it went. Thinkin' you was a-heaven sent, ha ha ha, You're nothin' but hell! Go straight to hell. |

I pledge no allegiance to your flag.
I feel I got me some damn good reasons for feelin' bad. Way they take away ev'ry mother's son, If you want freedom now, it's got to be won. It's only bullets. It's just a gun. Ain't gon' hurt no one. I don't know what they must be thinkin'. Makin' decisions on a hard night's drinkin'. Momma, gon' take your little boy. Gonna make him 'to a man, Make him a stranger in a strange land. (Chorus:) Freedom slaves What have you done Freedom slaves With ev'ry mother's son? Freedom slaves Can't ya see that we're all freedom slaves? Freedom slaves What have you done? Freedom slaves And all for number one. Freedom slaves It's clear to see that we're all freedom slaves. No sign of justice nor liberty By takin' an Indian Nation, 'cause they was all that we wanted to be. All good people from the Kingdom of the Sun. Welcome to freedom. Now, there's work to be done. It's only natural to know it's wrong. Why did it go so long? I don't know what next they'll be killin', Rapin' the land with pollution and spillin'. Here's to the tired, to the hungry, to the helpless and the poor. Is there no glory for blisters and sores? (Chorus) Who are those people? So patriotically sittin' back of tables POn their asses, lickin' labels, tryin' to change me. You'd think the way they act, the way they carry on, You'd think that I was the devil's Seventh Son. But it's only words. It's just a song. Ain't gonna hurt no one. (Chorus) Freedom slaves. Freedom slaves. Freedom slaves. Attention! About Face! March! Left, right, left, right, left, right. Your momma, she was a....(fade out) |
