a ton of white boy guilt, that's my problem -
obstacle to joy (one reason for drugs) slept on a mexican beach, slept in trash (american trash) thinking too much can ruin a good time. I asked a mexican who ran a bar for americans "who won" I said "the election?" he laughed and I felt like a gringo - we paid for a song and they had fun with us. why can't you buy a good time? why are there soldiers in the streets? why did I spend the fourth in someone else's country? |

I was just a young boy,the horror I couldnt forsee All the pain that comes with war All the scars that never heal Here in paradise the price is cheap Young men die for greed Across the ocean in a land they call Vietnam Young men dying is all it would cost We were told and proudly believed They would fight to keep us free Here in America the price is cheap Young men die for what? My brother,the soldier was a hero who survived He'd tell the stories of men who died without dreams And they fight for men twice their age The smell of death made his life change The price of paradise is stained with blood Why? All pawns and puppets of flesh and bone Will die for their leaders far from their homes These are men who died very young Afraid to see that their cause was unjust Why couldnt they live for life?

No one! I said no one!
Im talkin' about no one! I said no one! No heart,no soul Not working at that goal Im talkin' about no one I said no one No love,no hate No someone to emulate Im talkin' about no one I said no one Grow old,knowing,always believing,never doubting that there's... No one! I said no one! Im talkin' about no one! I said no one! Not living,not dying Life just means surviving Im talkin' about no one I said no one No cost,no gain Not worth going insane Im talkin' about no one I said no one Grow old,knowing,always believing,never doubting that there's... No one! I said no one! Im talkin' about no one! I said no one! No pain,no remorse Emptiness just a matter of course Im talkin' about no one I said no one No world,no fair Lost hope I no longer care Im talkin' about no one I said no one Grow old,knowing,always believing,never doubting that there's... No one! I said no one! Im talkin' about no one! I said no one! |

Working on the edge
Losing my self-respect For a man who presides over me The principles of his creed Punch in, punch out Eight hours, five days Sweat, pain and agony On Friday I'll get paid This ain't no picnic This ain't no picnic This ain't no picnic This ain't no picnic Hey mister don't look down on me For what I believe I got my bills and the rent I should be content But our land isn't free So I'll work my youth away In the place of a machine I refuse to be a slave This ain't no picnic This ain't no picnic This ain't no picnic This ain't no picnic |

We'll talk some reason
We could look at the past Will the nation grow? Prosperity may last Can we look At the problems ahead? With our heads in the sand We might as well be dead Cheer him on The leader of the team He'll push on through At all cost to win But are we free To think for ourselves Or doomed To repeat our mistakes? When you hear them and call your name Can you count the lives they will take? Do you have to see the body bags Before you make a stand? The cheerleaders Call our their names On the sidelines They can feel the players sweat And i wonder What it is they see? All the rallies Will never set them free Can you hear them Call your name? Can you count the lives They will take? Do you have to see the body bags Come off the plane Just a little bit Just a little bit Just a little bit too late Can you hear them Call your name? Can you count the lives They will take? Do you have to see the body bags Before you make a stand? Can you hear them Just a little bit Just a little bit too late |

Sometimes the news is like a loud hum in my amplifier
It rings my head out like a filthy washcloth With little folds Thousands of little folds! The shit you hear at parties Kick in the idiot box Wait for the news in the history books Like junkies who hate their heroin |

Born in the shed with the guitar on
We jammed the schtik to do four gigs. With bits and pieces Of a working thesis (?) We jammed the schtik to do four gigs Now when we took me and d boon's And george's stench And put them up on stage We'd fight at practice Then jam econo And spout the tour-spiel Tour-spiel Tour-spiel I dreamed I was e bloom But I woke up joe bouchard In some town out on the road With patent-leather boots on Just like richard told me Another hack on the "spectors" tour Tour-spiel Tour-spiel Now you got your guitar And your practice amp You travel the usa in a van And troccoli's counting on some situation Are you going to write the song I demand? And with the guitar turned off And the gas tank empty And the typewriter on But my head is empty And to really find me I've got to look inside me And cut the tour-spiel Tour-spiel Tour-spiel Tour-spiel Tour-spiel Tour-spiel |

I believe when they found the body of General George A. Custer
Quilled like a porcupine with Indian arrows He didn't die with any honor, any dignity, or any valor. I believe when they found George A. Custer An American general, patriot, and Indian-fighter He died with shit in his pants! |

I get that feeling Of a blind man in bed Couldn't hear what I said No way When you're revealing I get that feeling Of a monk in a church A big empty church |

What is peace
To the people Who work the land And die in wars? It was learned in a game That was played by us all Who held the top of the hill From the rest was called the king And I can't believe it all Was good for humankind Is it peace To point the guns? Is it war To fire the guns? We would run with all of our might Push the king off to take the hill And to learn who was king And who makes the better serf I can't believe it all Was good for humankind And i have to read the lies Between the lines Believe in this We are part Of a whole we call the earth And i have to read the lies Between the lines |
