Talk About God
03:43
|
|||
The bells are being rung by the wind
The dust is rising up to cover the seeds
Then the rain comes down to wash it all
And new life can spring
Well they talk about god, they talk about the lord
While everything is just the way it seems
The sun is going down, sky is getting pink
The moon is getting full and it looks like a ring
Then the next morning when the sun comes up
It feels like a dream
The sun keeps shining while the world keeps running
The sun keeps shining on our heads
The stars are filling the sky
Same for you and I
The lightning shows the way
Thunder shaking the ground
Then the rainbow comes when the work is done
Its like magic for the young
The bells are being rung by the wind
The sun is going down, sky is getting pink
The stars are filling the sky
Same for you and I

One Of These Days
03:36
|

Ride around town
Chasing our tail
Looking for a dime
and maybe we'll be someone
One of these days its gonna happen to us
Peace will arrive and we will all be as one
I know that's a fat cliche, its a well known fact
We do what we do and we just gotta do it right
One of these days
music will go back to what it was
before I and I became me and me
One of these days its gonna come
You will wake up in the morning
Look up at the sun and know
You've always been someone
Well if its alcohol and drugs to help us feel free
What was blocking us in the beginning to be
Ride around town
Chasing our tail
Looking for a dime
and maybe we'll be someone

Mainstream
03:15
|

I wish I could brake this chord
I wish I knew how
I wish I could brake this chord
And they would go wild
I would play a B, I would even play a G
I would play all the way, all the way I would play
To the Mainstream
TV shows and radio stations
Are making the calls
TV shows and cell phone bubbles
Are buying your soul
Yes you can be a star, it can happen in a night
But it can happen only in the Mainstream
They said you can't do your thing
Because this is the army
They said you can't do your thing
Because this is the army
So they took my guitar and they gave me a gun
They said aim to the Mainstream

Rough Road (Yahli)
02:47
|
|||
Who put the love in you child
Who taught you how to smile
Who told you when to come in and out of this world
Who told you who you are
Now you're starting to crawl, you're starting to climb
When you look me in the eye
I feel something inside
The road is long and it winds
Wherever you turn you'll have someone behind
It’s a rough road out there
It’s a rough road you gotta beware
It’s a rough road but you will find your way
Who said you must be yourself
Who said you can never ever never be anybody else
Who picked you up in her arms so soft
And how did you bring a tear to her heart
Who put the love in you child
Who taught you how to smile
Who said you must be yourself
Who said you can't be anybody else

My Baby
02:15
|

I love my baby
I really do
I love my baby
She knows that I do
She knows how much I do
Yes I really really do
I love her so
She only knows
I love her so
and she knows that I do
She knows how much I do
Yes I really really do

Roof Top Blues
03:18
|
|||
There's a man who sits there
Up on the roof top
He sits there waiting for his name to drop
He says- you can name a road after me
You can even name a rock
But don’t ever never refer to me like the man from the roof top
There's a man who sits there
Up on the roof top
He looks down at everybody like we are just a little drop
He will get very worried soon
Because many drops can make up a river
I just hope the water, I say, rises right up to the roof top
There's a man who sits there
Up on the roof top
He rarely comes down and if he does it's only with guards
He doesn't really know the people
No, only the ones who work on the roof top
There's a man who sits there
And he makes up wars and rules
He will tell you who your enemy is
If you just turn on the news
There's much to look out for
When you look only up to the roof top

On The Sand
03:24
|
|||
You sit next to me, wet on the sand
I can feel the breeze that’s making you sad
You’ve been threw so much
And you're still a little girl who doesn't understand
How could everything have turned out so bad
You’ve seen the dark clouds of life
Come over too young
And now you sit once a month and cry with the band
Next to me on the sand
When I felt blue blowing threw
I wanted to cry for you
And I would want to tell you how its all not true
But we both grew tangled up in blue
Now your hair is all wet
And baby how can we love each other
If we don’t love ourselves yet
Next to me on the sand
How I wish I could help you
But I'm busy just sinking in my own mud
If you could only see your golden locks burn in the hot sun
If I could only open my real mouth
But I am stuck in the north
And baby you're way down south
You sit next to me wet on the sand
And I can feel you shaking
But it ain't cold outside baby
I thought that it was the weed maybe
And you who just want to be free
Cant you see
That we're gonna be
The most glorious thing
We are as wide as the sea baby I don’t always say the right things
But not every bird sings
Next to me on the sand

Propaganda
04:24
|
|||
It's all over TV
It's every where you look
It's there when you open your eyes
It's written in a book
Did you notice the moon
Did you hear the music
Did you notice they always say
Good is gonna come soon
It doesn't have a name
It doesn't have a face
It belongs to no culture
It belongs to no race
You can play it
Or you can paint it
But did you notice they always say
Good is gonna come soon
Propaganda coming our way
Propaganda filling my brain
This time I'm gonna skip that train

Puzzle
03:03
|
|||
Life is like a puzzle you got to connect each piece together
Then you'll see what comes out
First you build a frame, then you fill it up
Then you look again
Life is like a puzzle every piece has its place
You just got to make the connection
If you get stuck, all you need is just a little luck
Life is like a puzzle you can make a mistake
But it all works out
Piece by piece, step by step
But you got to have patience

Pain &Fear
03:46
|
|||
I carried on my shoulders a gun for three years
A systematic way to teach me all the fears
They said don’t trust yourself because we know what's right
And so what, so what if a friend of yours dies tonight
You are cheap for your money but still you let them play
With the lives of your children and just accept what they say
While they justify war and crime and defense
Does is have anything to do with the coming elections in the U.S.
Oh yes
If we slave for nothing then nothing is what we will get
If money is what you're after then you ain't seen nothing yet
You See those good poor people they just don’t deserve to be
If what they show on television seems to be all that we see
I heard that democracy is some kind a good way of life
So how come my voice just gets lost in the fight
And I just don’t believe in anything that I hear
Because I know there's something better
Then just pain and fear
So we put our heads down and say- oh now what can we do
And if we don’t wake up soon my friends, I fear we'll never do
I know there's something better
Then just pain and fear

Say Goodbye
03:50
|
|||
Say goodbye You're about to change your life
Is gonna jump right off the edge
Because you're not no one, no you're not a number in their book
Those are just papers and they don’t tell me nothing 'bout you
You're not just a believer and not a figure of speech
You're name was forgotten way back at school
When they taught you how to run, kill, shoot and rule
Face the facts, don’t even try to figure
No its nothing but a lie that’s turning your wheel
All these movies must be stopped
All these phones must be tossed
All these rules must be broken and then built again (with us)
Or else we will end up as a bone
Found in a desert on a cold November storm

You will never know how pretty you are
You will never see how pretty you are
In my eyes
