Trouble in Mind
03:31
|
|||
every day I have
this trouble in my mind
is the life I live
is it really mine?
and do I feel
what they feel?
and do I know
what they know?
every day I have
this struggle in my brain
is the part I play
is it worth the pain?
and do I feel
what they feel?
and do I know
what they know?
every day I have
this mumble in my head
what I give
is it what I get?
and do I feel
what they feel?
and do I know
what they know?
cause they don’t talk to you
if you don’t know where you belong to
the only thing you know for sure
the show must go on
the show, the show, the show goes on
you’re no hero, you’re no star
you don’t know who you are
the show, the show, the show goes on
but you gonna break apart

One Day
02:48
|
|||
one day, I’m gonna shoot you down
cause you’ve been out here too long
and nobody’s gonna miss you when you’re gone
one day, you’ll wake up in your blood
cause you’ve been out here too long
and nobody’s gonna miss you when you’re gone
one day, I’m gonna lay you low
cause you’ve been out here too long
and nobody’s gonna miss you when you’re gone

I Ain't Be the Person
03:10
|
|||
for ten years I’ve been rambling
from town to town I go
for ten years I’ve been rambling
now I’m rambling home
and I’m calling out your name
and I’m knocking at your door
for I ain’t be that person no more
for no reason I’ve been travelling
nowhere I stayed for long
for no reason I’ve been travelling
now I’m travelling home
cause a wayfare needs an ending
and now I’m knocking at your door
for I ain’t be that person no more
many houses I stopped by
many pretty girls I met
many houses I stopped by
disremember what they said
but now those days are over
and I’m knocking at your door
for I ain’t be that person no more
I’ve never been no rich man
not a penny to my name
I’ve never been no rich man
what I own I spend
last dollars on a ticket
and now I’m knocking at your door
for I ain’t be that person no more
I know you deserve better
I know a fool I am
I know you deserve better
let’s start all over again
so I hope you will forgive me
while I’m knocking at your door
for I ain’t be that person no more

Flying Shoes
03:51
|
|||
mile by mile I walked this road
mile by mile I have been told
you have to wait for her
you have to wait till she’s back again
bring me my flying shoes
I have to see her again
turn by turn I rolled a dice
turn by turn I lost the price
cannot not think of her
cannot wait till she’s back again
bring me my flying shoes
I have to see her again
word by word I wrote to her
word by word my ink got blurred
can’t hold this goddamn pen
can’t hold it till she’s back again
bring me my flying shoes
I have to see her again
song by song I sang to her
song by song my voice got furred
can’t sing this song no more
can’t sing it till she’s back again
bring me my flying shoes
I have to see her again

Cowboy Man
02:40
|
|||
bring me my cowboy
tell him I’m waiting
or else my heart
will go insane
bring me my cowboy
he’s such a fine guy
it does me harm
no words could tell
bring me my cowboy
tell him I’m waiting
or else my heart’s
expecting rain
bring me my cowboy
he’s such a fine guy
it does me harm
no words could tell
and ever since the day he rode off
and our hearts and herds were split in two
and ever since the day he rode off
I am waiting for my cowboy man
with his cattle he keeps trekking
from California to Ohio
and the sand of endless valleys
keeps sticking to his boots

I Told My Dog
02:52
|
|||
I told my dog to bark at the man
I told my dog to bark
to bark at the man who got us into trouble
to bark at the man who led into the battles
to bark at the man who killed with no reason
I told my dog to bark
I told my tongue to shout at the man
I told my tongue to shout
to shout at the man who got us into trouble
to shout at the man who led into the battles
to shout at the man who killed with no reason
I told my tongue to shout
I told you once, I told you twice
I hope that you will follow my advice
I told you once, I told you twice
a better world is on the rise
I told my torch to burn the man
I told my torch to burn

Weird Place
03:08
|
|||
how can we like the weather?
it keeps changing every day
how to like each other?
everyone feels another way
the world is a weird place
how can we take the burden?
our wills are oh so weak
how to avoid misconception?
everyone thinks another way
the world is a weird place
how can we shed a tear?
they taste different every day
how to find each other?
everyone goes another way
the world is a weird place
and you, you are the only one
who gives sense to my life
and you, you are the only one
who puts a smile on my face
every day

What the Rich Said
03:39
|
|||
what did the rich say to the poor?
give me your last shirt and be sure
I’ll come back to take more
that’s what the rich said to the poor
what did the soldier tell his wife?
I’m only killing to survive
so I shoot my enemies down
that’s what the soldier told his wife
what did the pimp say to the bitch?
take your clothes off, make me rich
you were meant to sleep with men
that’s what the pimp said to the bitch
what did the master tell the slave?
take a shovel, dig your grave
you were born to work for me
that’s what the master told the slave
what did the priest say to the folk?
put your money in the poke
it delivers all your sins
that’s what the priest said to the folk
what did the logger tell the trees?
I’ll bring you on your knees
you were grown to fall for me
that’s what the logger told the trees
and the torture just goes on
goes on and on and on
and the torture it just goes on

5 Minutes
04:14
|
|||
five minutes just to show you
how much you mean to me
five minutes just to show you
that you’re my love supreme
five minutes just to show you
how much I long for you
four minutes just to hold you
no one’s ever done before
four minutes just to hold you
the way young lovers do
four minutes just to hold you
as I had always planned to do
three minutes just to tell you
you’re always on my mind
three minutes just to tell you
such true love’s hard to find
three minutes just to tell you
that you’re my favorite one
two minutes just to lead you
to a place you’ve never been
two minutes just to lead you
so far off crime and sin
two minutes just to lead you
into my open arms
one minute just to love you
just the way you are
one minute just to love you
my life-time shooting star
one minute just to love you
before we have to go

One Too Many
02:54
|
|||
there’s always one too many car
and one too many train
one too many aircraft
one too many lane
there’s one too many factory
and one too many stack
there’s always one too many soldier
and one too many tank
one too many fighter
one too many combat plane
there’s one too many weapon
and one too many war
there’s always one too many misery
and one too many fear
one too many oppression
one too many tear
there’s one too many bondage
and one too many harm
there’s always one too many prophet
and one too many god
one too many politician
one too many filthy talk
there’s one too many penny
and one too many stock
and it’s a shame, oh it’s a shame
that nothing seems to change
oh what a shame, oh what a shame
oh brothers break the chains
everybody break the chains

Nobody Cares
03:13
|
|||
I can’t get up
didn’t wash for weeks
my bones are heavy can’t move my feet
oh there were times they’d come and see
but now nobody
cares ’bout me
wise men they say
wise words and such
but hey they don’t know what really matters
oh there were times they’d come and see
but now nobody
cares ’bout me
just look at me
and mark this well
if you don’t believe
time will tell
oh there were times they’d come and see
but now nobody
cares ’bout me
so folks you listen
to what I say
when you grow old save your money
cause no one knows you
when you’re down and out
and no one holds you
when you’re lost and broke
and now nobody
nobody cares

Superpowers
03:21
|
|||
often I’ve been broken
way too long I cried
they say that love is healthy
I know it’s hard to find
and those superpowers
I want you to unlock
I would use them and bring you
a piece of the moon
often I’ve been dreaming
that you was mine and I was yours
but every time I woke up
I learned that dream isn’t true
and those superpowers
I want you to unlock
I would use them and bring you
a piece of the sun
often life’s been a burden
hard enough not to lose track
if someone gave me shelter
I could lay down and rest
and those superpowers
I want you to unlock
I would use them and make you
the happiest person on the globe
but everybody has been passing
and everybody has gone
but everybody has been laughing at me
everybody so long

Tiny Bats
05:26
|
|||
everybody’s scared of tiny bats
oh do you know why that is?
and nobody cares
what that is between us
everybody loves fluffy dogs
oh do you know why that is?
and nobody cares
what that is between us
everybody claims
one needs protection
what are you saving me from?
and nobody cares ’bout the thoughts in your head
and everybody eats more than he needs
oh do you know why that is?
and nobody cares
what that is between us
but heaven’s not as close
as people say
and everybody’s scared of tiny bats
oh do you know why that is?
and everybody’s scared of tiny bats
oh do you know ’bout that?

Oh Johnny
02:50
|
|||
the rivers, they carry
a lot of stories
Johnny, oh Johnny
tell them to me
all the rivers, they are floating
towards the sea
oh Johnny, stay here with me
how many tears
can the sea take?
how many more stories
can Johnny tell?
all the rivers, they are floating
towards the sea
oh Johnny, stay here with me
darling, oh darling
oh please won’t you cry
the dreams of the rivers
just middle-class lies
all the rivers, they are floating
towards the sea
oh Johnny, stay here with me
