Van Halen

I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough. I've seen the toughest around.
And I know, baby, just how you feel.
You've got to roll
with the punches to get to what's real

Oh can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?

Might as well jump. Jump ! Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump ! Go ahead, jump.

Aaa-ohh Hey you ! How said that ?
Baby how you been ?
You say you don't know, you won't know
until we begin.

Well can't you see me standing here,
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean ?

Might as well jump. Jump ! Go ahead, jump.
Might as well jump. Jump ! Go ahead, jump.

Might as well jump. Jump ! Go ahead, jump.
Get it and jump. Jump ! Go ahead, jump.

"Oh wow, man!"
"Wait a second man. Whaddaya think the teacher's
gonna look like this year?"
"My butt, man!"
T-T-Teacher stop that screaming, teacher don't you see?
Don't wanna be no uptown fool
Maybe I should go to hell, but I'm doin' well
teacher needs to see me after school

*I think of all the education that I missed
But then my homework was never quite like this
Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher

"Hey, I heard you missed us, we're back!"
"I brought my pencil"
"Gimme something to write on, man"
I heard about your lessons, but lessons are so cold
I know about this school
Little girl from cherry lane, how did you get so bold?
How did you know that golden rule?

* Repeat

"Oh man, I think the clock is slow"
"I don't feel tardy"
"Class dismissed"

I live my life like there's no tomorrow
And all I've got I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes I'm living at a pace that kills
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody waiting at home
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
You know I, I found the simple life, weren't so simple, no
When I jumped out on that road
Got no love, no love you'd call real
Got nobody waiting at home
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
[repeat and fade]

Give me liberty or give me death
No truer words have ever been said
Well are you prepared for your very last breath?
Don't you dare start what you cannot finish

So when we face, face the adversary
No longer are we the minority

And when history repeats her hour
The pendulum will swing, swing into power
Though not in vain like our forefathers
Freedom, never had no room for cowards

For in the end, there will be equality
By any means necessary

The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen
Can be held by the same hand

What's it gonna take to liberate?
An emancipation, a false proclamation?
All these token words that you legislate
Sound a little bit absurd. Hey! And a little too late

When a house is divided, it just will not stand
Once it's decided, a line drawn in the sand

Ah! The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen
Can be held by the same hand

(Guitar Solo)

The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do

The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
The sword or the pen can be
held, held by the same hand!

Dirty Water Dog


No candidate would I support
His platform could I endorse
Another accomplice slinging dirt
Campaign promises falling short
I don't belong to any race
Pledge allegiance to a place
No borderline in the sand I'd trace
I'm just a sucker for a pretty face
Uncomfortable in the realm of the political
Position's always been a little left of cynical
I'm fundamentally for the individual
Preoccupied purely with the physical

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a hound dog chasing a bird
Sometimes a certain tom's gotta peep
I'm a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

I don't wanna find religion
Or another man's opinion
I Can't choose what's not my decision
When there's only one under the sun
There's no need to be denied
Chew before swallowing pride
I want to live so let me die
Oh by the way, what's your sign?

Can't comprehend the meaning of the metaphysical
I'd rather leave that to your so-called intellectual
But what I do know I know feels only natural
I'm just a red-blooded heterosexual

When heavy is the weight of the world
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a dirty water doggin' a bird
Sometimes a certain tom's he gotta peep
I'm a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And I think I like, I think I like, I like what I see

(Guitar Solo)

In a word to the wisdom tooth
To tell, or not the truth (yeah)
So open up and say ahh-men
Rinse cup, and spit again

Forked tongue in double speak
Pretty soon you just might
Spring a leak
Inhale before you begin
Your iron lung's a bag of wind

There's a fire in the hole
Fire in the hole
There's a fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
Fire

Sweet 'n' sour, filiblister
Faucet pouring, fresh 'n' bitter
Come on smile and say cheese
On a count of three
Ya got a mindful of decavities
Hey!

Chew your words, lest you choke
You better watch your mouth
Wash it out with soap. Yeah!
Tongue tied in a tangled web
Your bile inside better left unsaid

There's a fire in the hole
Fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
There's a fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
Fire!
Ah, shoot it!

(Guitar Solo)

Hey-hey-yeah!
Huh!
Yeah!
Hey-hey-yeah!

(hey hey hey hey hey)
There's a fire in the hole
Fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
There's a fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)
Fire in the hole (hey hey hey hey hey)

There's a fire, fire, fire
A fire!

Rudder of ship, which sets the course
Does not the bit, bridle the horse
Great is the forest, set by a small flame
Like a tongue on fire, no one can tame

From Afar

If I cannot see you from afar
Look into your eyes, that hint of depth
Hidden inside
If I cannot hear you from afar
Whisper in my ear, rest assured that
You are near

And I know not what it's like
The aforementioned
For the distance between us
As are the stars, I only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
Just to love you
From afar

If I cannot kiss you from afar
Press against your lips, taste the sweetness
Of your breath

If I cannot touch you from afar
Hold you in my arms, keep you warm and
Safe from harm

Though our circumstances
Cause separation
In the absence, there's a presence in my heart
I will surrender, I'll surrender to my
Quiet contemplation
My quiet contemplation
I'll just, I'll just love you
From afar

There must be a better way (ooo-oooh)
A better way (ooo-oooh) of, of passing the time
I can't seem to get her out
Out of my
Get her out of my mind

(Guitar Solo)

I don't know what it's like
The aforementioned
For the distance between us
As are the stars, I only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination

Just to love you
Just to love you
Just to love you
Yeah!

If I cannot see you from afar
Look into your eyes, that hint of depth
Hidden inside

Just to love you
Just to love you
Yeah!

Are you ever so silent, when she wanted to talk?
Or couldn't keep quiet, when she needed a hug
Come on too strong, when a little's too much
How many, how many, say I

Go on and say yes, and really mean no
Would you rather guess, when you just don't know
And then say I love you, but aren't willing to show
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I

How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I

Say live and let live, so quick to judge
Slow to forgive, when you're holding a grudge
Don't always believe, all you need is love
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I

How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I

(String Solo)

Have you ever looked down when the homeless walked by?
Or changed the channel when you saw a hungry child?
Know something to be true, then deny it
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I
How many, how many, say I

How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I
How many say I, how many say I

Josephina, there's so much I want to know
I've known you for all of mine
But not all of yours
You're not a stranger
No, nothing could be further
I look back and I wonder
What you were like, long before

Josephina, if I asked you, would you tell me?
The fact from the fancy
And the dreams in between
Tell me a story
All about yours truly
Photographs from the past
Imagine the mystery

Didja get your head lost in a daydream?
Cinderella, waiting for her charming
Did ya break a heart, like little girls often do?
Pigtails and painted toes
All dressed up in your mother's clothes
Can you shine the light?
Ah, can you shine the light?
Oh, please can you shine some light?
Yeah, can you shine the light?
Shine the light on a shadow

Josephina, would you lay down your defenses?
So i can make sense of
Those colors fading to grey
It's not that you're hiding
Something, I'd never imply
Yesteryear I may be gone
Can't say the same for today

Yeah, Josephina!

(Guitar Solo)

Ah, Josephina!

How else am I to know, that all the while
There was a mischievous look, behind that smile?
It's hard to tell, when innocence comes and goes
I'm sure that there were times, life could be unkind
Without a shoulder to cry on
Can you shine the light?
Ah, can you shine the light?
Yeah, please can you shine some light?
Yeah, can you shine the light?
Yeah, can you shine the light?
Shine the light on a shadow

(Ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah)

Without You

Hey you, wake up, get yourself together
yeah you, so you think you made it better
'cause you know it's coming at you
While your back is turned
Look too long and I can't help you
So clear your head, find a way home
Better make up your mind
First you say that you will
Then you say you won't
Well I'm just trying to figure
Try and figure you out

How long can this go on
Tell me what is wrong
And maybe there's a way
That we can work it out

There must be some kind of way
That we can make it right
But I, I just can't do it all
Without you, without you

Hey fool, wise up, better late than never
Yeah you, you know that nothing lasts forever
Nobody ever told you that your
Time is running out
Too bad and I can't help you

How long can this go on
Tell me what is wrong
And maybe there's a way
That we can work it out

There must be some kind of way
That we can make it right
But I, I just can't do it all
Without you, without you

The point i'm trying to make
You got to give more than you take
You gotta give, give more than you take
Gotta, gotta, gotta work it out

Once embraced, can't ever be let go
Once revealed, can't ever be not shown
Once believed, can't ever lose faith
Once shared, can't ever be separate
Once sown, once can't ever be not reaped

Like the dawn of a brand new day
With the power of deity
Well, I can feel it inside of me
Feel it. Can you feel it?

Once born, can't ever be not conceived
Once present, can't ever be past
Once first, once can't ever be not everlast

Returning home of the prodigal
Holding the intangible
To believe in a miracle
Believe it. Can you believe it?

Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa, really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
Whoa-oh-oh, can you tell me?

Once seen, can't ever lose sight
Once dawn, can't ever be not light
Once, once felt, once felt
Can't ever be untouched

The assurance only hope can bring
With the conviction of the unseen
See it's greater than everything
See it, oh can you see it?

Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa-oh really, really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
Whoa-ooh-oh oh, can you tell me?
Have you ever really touched love once?

(Guitar Solo)

(Oh!)

Oh! Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa-oh-oh really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
I don't know. Did you tell me?
Have you ever really touched
Once. Whoa-oh really, really touched?

Could it ever be too much?
Oh-ooh somebody tell me
Have you ever really touched
Love once?

Ah, have you ever really touched
Love once?
Have you ever really touched love
Touched love?
Woooo-ooooo
Woooo-ooooo
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Wooo-oooo
Wooo-oooo
Wooo-oooo-oooo
Oh, love once.

You gotta give, give more than you take
Gotta, gotta, gotta work it out

I woke up to yet another day
Grown to expect, expect more of the same
Except for, for a subtle change
And that is, I'm slowly fading away

Harvest moon, soon will pass
Crop is gone, left only chaff
A bitter pill, and an overcast
A flag unfurled, at half mast
Ahhhhh...

A year to the day
Since you went away
A moment in time
When you were last mine
I'm here standing still
Yeah! With more time to kill
Hey! I barely survived
Yeah, I barely survived

Like pouring salt on an open wound
Memory filling, filling this empty room
I'm as bare, I'm as bare, as a barren womb
Still like the air, in a whitewash tomb
Ahhhhh...

A year to the day
Since you went away
A moment in time
When you were last mine
I'm here standing still
Hey! With more time to kill
I barely survived
Yes, I barely survived

(Guitar Solo)

Ahhhhh...

A year to the day
Since you went away
A moment in time
When you were last mine
I'm here standing still
Been standin' still. With more time to kill
Hey! I barely survived
I barely survived

A year to the day!
Year to the day!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
A year to the day!
Three sixty-five!
Three sixty-five, five, fiiive!
Ahhhhh...

Oh, yeah!
Alright

And I ain't cryin' about the love I been payin' for
No I ain't bitchin' 'bout the things you been puttin' down
Yeah, in my street

Oh! I ain't goin' around sayin' things about you
Lord, I can't repeat

Hey, it ain't gonna change overnight, no
And it ain't goin' away without a fight, no!

Now I ain't sayin' that I'm never gonna beg you
Oh, baby come back
Right now baby, I don't really wanna see your face
Yeah, and that's a fact

Oh, I know honey all I know is what I'm feelin' inside
Right now baby I'm alone and I'm swallowing
Lord, a lot a' pride

And it ain't gonna change overnight, no
And it ain't goin' away without a fight
Yeah!

Livin' with the aftershock

Well I never thought she'd walk
But now I'm livin' with the aftershock

We can't throw it all away
Tell me you won't go, you won't go
Do you have to hear me say

*I can't stop loving you
And no matter what I say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I can't stop loving you

You can change your friends, your place in life
You can change your mind
We can change the things we say
And do anytime
Oh no, but I think you'll find
That when you look inside your heart
Oh baby, I'll be there, yeah

Hold on
I'm holding on
Baby, just come on, come on, come on
I just wanna hear you say

*Repeat

Oh, I'm so twisted and tied
And all I remember
Was how hard we tried
Only to surrender

And when it's over
I know how it's gonna be
And true love will never die
No, not fade away

*Repeat

And I know what I got to do
Hey ray, what you said is true
I can't stop loving you, oh
oh, I can't stop loving you

It's ok, I'll do what I want if I choose
I can take the fall, there's a choice
It's my destiny in my hands
Yeah, it's up to me

I can drive
I can shoot a gun in the streets
Score me some heroin
I can jump, be the sacrifice
Bear the cross just like Jesus Christ

And I don't wanna hear what love can do
No, I ain't gonna tell you what's right for you

Is it right, to take the easy way?
Close your eyes, get on your knees and pray
Now you're saved, by a higher voice
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up your choice

If I'm wrong, then I'll pay for it
If I'm right, yeah you're gonna hear about it
But I'll try, yeah I'll try for it
I'll try and I'll try, 'til I'm satisfied

And I, I'm tired o' hearin' what love can do
And I, ain't gonna tell you what's right for you

I've seen the damage done
Yeah, I heard the shotgun
And felt the settin' sun on my kingdom come
Ohhh!

(Guitar Solo)

Is it right, uh, to take the easy way?
I don't know, I get down on my knees and pray
Now I'm saved, by a higher voice
Givin' up, givin' up, givin' up my choice

If I'm wrong, hey! Then I'll pay for it
If I'm right, yeah, you're gonna deal with it
'Cause I'll try, yeah I'll try for it
I'll try and I'll cry, even die for it

No, I don't wana hear what love can do
No, I, I can't tell you what's right for you
Oh, I, I, I tell you what love can do
No, I, I, I can't say when your time is through

Outta touch most the time
Got a lotta things on my mind
Kickin' down, but where to start
It's the hardest thing, oh Lord
Grow it long, shave it off
Life is hard, never soft
I need a change, I need it quick
Before it makes me sick

That's what's on my mind

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Now pay attention, watch your back
Pay your dues and stay on track
Got no room to second guess
Puts me under stress, oh Lord

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
If I were you, if you were me
Wonder who I'd wanna be
With just one wish ya can't refuse
I wouldn't know what to choose

Yeah! Feelin'
No I don't like what I been told
I'm feelin'
Feelin', what no one else will ever know
I'm feelin'

Ohh, now! Black is white and white is black, ah!
Got politicians smokin' crack
And John Paul's all bullet proof
And it puts me through the roof, and yeah!
If I were you, and you were me
I wonder who I'd rather be
And if I had one wish I, uh, I'd take it

Feelin', oh I don't like what I been told
I'm feelin'
And I'm seein' what no one else will ever know
I'm seein'

Lord, what I'm seein'

Yeah!
Yeah, yeah yeah

Hey, I don't understand

To love somebody naturally
To love somebody faithfully
To love somebody equally
Is not enough, it's not enough
It's not enough

To love somebody secretly (And never touch)
To love somebody honestly (And always trust)
To love somebody tenderly
The tender touch is not enough
It's not enough

Love hurts you sometimes
It's not so easy to find, no
Searchin' everywhere, you turn and swear (Ahh-ahh-ahh)
It's always been there

To love somebody foolishly (Can happen once)
To love somebody hopelessly (It hurts so much)
To love somebody equally
Is not enough, it's not enough
It's not enough

Love takes a little time
It's not so easy to find, no, no
Searchin' everywhere, you turn and swear
It's always been there

(Guitar Solo)
Standin' there....

Oh!

And if it don't come easily
One thing you must believe
You can always have trust in me
'Cause my heart will always be, yours honestly

Yeah! Love hurts you sometimes
Not so easy to find, no-oh
Searchin' everywhere, you turn and swear (Ahh-ahh-ahh)
It's always been there, standin' there
Love hurts you sometimes
It's not yours, it's not mine, no-oh
Love is only to share
You turn and swear (Ahh-ahh-ahh) it's everywhere
Standin' there (Ahh-ahh)
'Cause it's always been there

I thought I saw you from a distance
I swore I'd found you once again
Touched on that feelin' for an instant
Could not recall just where or when
Oh, no

Some desert island off Morocco
We had a love so hard to find
Oh, so full of life, so free and easy
Another place, another time, oh!

Take me back
I wanna be there with you
It happened just like that, yeah!
Slip in a dream or two
Come on, take me back
Oh, deja vu

One soul, one mind
One light that shines
One love so fine
Oh, come on and take me back

Some call it fate, some superstition
Some call it luck, it's all the same
Oh, just one of the mysteries of creation
Somethin' you feel but can't explain, oh!

Take me back
I wanna be there with you
It happens just like that, baby
I've fallen deep into
Oh!

(Guitar Solo)

Oh girl, do it, come on
Oh do it, take me there
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

Come on, take me back, baby
'Cuz I swear I've been there with you
It happened just like that, wow!
Send me a dream or two
Oh, come on, take me back
Oh, deja vu

I thought I saw you from a distance
I swore I'd found you once again
Touched on that feelin' for an instant
Could not recall just where or when
Oh, no

Some desert island off Morocco
We had a love so hard to find
Oh, so full of life, so free and easy
Another place, another time, oh!

Take me back

Come on, take me back
Oh, deja vu

One soul, one mind

It happens just like that, baby
I've fallen deep into
Oh!

(Guitar Solo)

Oh girl, do it, come on
Oh do it, take me there
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

Come on, take me back, baby
'Cuz I swear I've been there with you
It happened just like that, wow!
Send me a dream or two
Oh, come on, take me back
Oh, deja vu

Oh, yeah!
Huh!
Huh!

Walk me down to the wishin' well
Help me find that miracle
Splash that holy water on me
Drown my faith in Trinity, yeah
Oh, Lord

Little by little gonna get it I swear
One more piece of the puzzle, I'm there. Yeah
Gotta get lucky, gotta get that done
Little bit o' luck never hurt no one

Come on, take me down, down, down, down
I'm in a cold sweat
Lord, don't let me drown, drown, drown, drown
In Mother Earth's soul, yet!

Oh, yeah yeah!
Under darken skies
We'll see the light

Yeah!

Broken now, I can't help but feel
Someone cracked the seventh seal
Nothin' sacred, nothin' left unturned
When nothin's simple, then nothin's learned

So take me down to the virgin spring
Wash away my suffering, oh
Splash that holy water on me
Wash my eyes so I can see

Come on, take me down, down, down, down
I'm in a cold sweat
Yeah, don't let me drown, drown, drown, drown
In Mother Earth's soul, not yet
Lord, I think I found, found, found, found, found
My mother lode! Hey!
Oh, yeah!

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Yeah! Down, down, down, down, down, down
Take me down, down, down, down, down, down
(Down, down, down, down, down, down)
Take me

World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin down
Better change your tune
Reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby just spread your wings

Chorus:
We'll get higher and higher straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher leave it all behind

Run, run, run, away
Like a train runnin off the track
The truth gets left behind
And falls between the cracks
Standing on broken dreams
But never losing sight
Spread your wings

Chorus

So baby dry your eyes, save all the tears you've cried
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Oh baby we belong in a world that must be strong
Ohh that's what dreams are made of

And in the end on dreams we will depend

Love Walks In

Contact is all it takes
To change your life to lose your place in time
Contact! Asleep or awake
Coming around you may wake up to find
Questions deep within your eyes,
Things you've never realized
Chorus:
So when you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange, love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Wait for the opening
Then simply pulls a string
Another world, some other time
You lay your sanity on the line
Familiar faces familiar sights
Reach back remember with all your might
Ohh there she stands in a silken gown
Silver lights shining down
Chorus
Love comes walkin' in
Solo
Sleep and dream is all I crave
I travel far across the Milky Way
To my master I become a slave
Til we meet again some other day
Where silence speaks as loud as war
And the earth returns to what it was before
Chorus
Love comes walkin' in

You'll lose her in that turn

Right behind in the rearview mirror now
Got the fearin', power steerin'
Pistons poppin', ain't no stoppin' now

Now I know none of this was planned, it all just kinda happened
I got more than I wanted, but how is still a mystery
Obsessed with this feeling, I trusted it, so I followed it
I'm tripping and stumbling across the land, full of miracles
Into a world so far from home, miles and miles from nowhere
Rooms without doors open for me, oh no
Taking me miles and miles from nowhere
Oh (miles and miles), oh yeah
Lost in this pleasure dome, lost in my own pleasure dome
Oh man, I ain't got a clue, how you get out, or how to find this place
I want my control back, but I'm afraid, I'll lose that feeling
Lost in a world so far from home, I'm miles and miles from nowhere
Falling inside my own pleasure dome, I'm miles and miles from nowhere
Oh (miles and miles), oh yeah
Lost in this pleasure dome, lost inside my pleasure dome
(Solo)
Lost in a world, can't find my way home, miles and miles from nowhere
Falling inside my own pleasure dome, miles and miles from nowhere
Millions of miles, oh no, miles and miles and miles from nowhere

Wrapped up nice n' tight

And homegrown and down-home, that makes one
Cookin' up that old time, long lost recipe for me. Woo!

It's gettin' hard to find
Guess it ain't hip enough now
You take an average guy, he can't identify, uh
And there's a short supply of her fine, fine stuff

Lemme get on, lemme get on, lemme get on some o' that
Shake it up, bake it up nice, uh!
Lemme get on, lemme get on, lemme get on all that
I so love my baby's poundcake

Still cookin' with that old time, long lost recipe, yeah. Woo!
She's down-home and down-home. Oh, that's my woman

Again winding me
up inside~

Just tell me
where to begin~
Cause I never ever
felt so much
No I can't recall

Oh baby this blows
'em all away
It's got what it takes
so tell me why
Can't this be love
straight
From my heart~
oh tell me why~~
Can't this be love~~
I tell myself
Hey only fools rush in
only time will tell
We stand the test
of time
All~ I know
you've got to run
To win
an I'll be damned
If I'll get
hung up on the line~
No I can't recall
any love at all
Oh baby this blows
'em all away
It's got what it takes
so tell me why
Can't this be love
you want 'em straight
From my heart

We'll be fighting in the streets with our children at our feet and the morals
That they worship will be gone and the men who spurred us on sit in judgement
Of all wrong they decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the
New constitution take a bow for the new revolution smile and grin at the change
All around pick up my guitar and play just like yesterday then I'll get on my
Knees and pray we don't get fooled again the change, it had to come we knew it
All along we were liberated from the fold, that's all and the world looks just
The same and history ain't changed 'cause the banners, they are flown in the
Next war
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around pick up my guitar and play just like
Yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray we don't get fooled again no, no! I'll move
Myself and my family aside if we happen to be left half alive I'll get all my
Papers and smile at the sky though I know that the hypnotized never lie do ya?
There's nothing in the streets looks any different to me and the slogans are
Replaced, by-the-bye and the parting on the left are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight I'll tip my hat to the new
Constitution take a bow for the new revolution smile and grin at the change all
Around pick up my guitar and play just like yesterday then I'll get on my knees
And pray we don't get fooled again don't get fooled again no, no!
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! meet the new boss same as the old boss
