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

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

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

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
