People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing, Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin, When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange, Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game,
People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away, Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me, When I tell that I'm doing Fine watching shadows on the wall, Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round, I really love to watch them roll, No longer riding on the merry-go-round, I just had to let it go,
People asking questions lost in confusion, Well I tell them there's no problem, Only solutions, Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind, I tell them there's no hurry... I'm just sitting here doing time,
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round, I really love to watch them roll, No longer riding on the merry-go-round, I just had to let it go.
[Repeat x2]
Nobody Told Me
Everybody's talking and no one says a word
Everybody's making love and no one really cares
There's nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs. Always something happening and nothing going on
There's always something happening cooking and nothing in the pot
They're starving back in China so finish what you got. They're starving back in China so finish what you got. Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed strange days indeed. Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move
Everyone's a winner and no one seems to lose. There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu. Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
Everybody's crying and no one makes a sound. There's a place for us in movies you just gotta stay around.
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed most peculiar Mama. Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
Everybody's flying and never touch the sky
There's Ufo's over New York and I ain't too surprised. Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed most peculiar. Mama, Whoa!
Borrowed Time
When I was younger Living confusion and deep dispair When I was younger ah hah Living illusion of freedom and power
When I was younger Full of ideas and broken dreams (my friend) When I was younger ah hah Everything simple but not so clear
Living on borrowed time Without a thought for tomorrow Living on borrowed time Without a thought for tomorrow
Now I am older The more that I see the less that I know for sure Now I am older ah hah The future is brighter and now is the hour
Living on borrowed time Without a thought for tomorrow Living on borrowed time Without a thought for tomorrow
Good to be older Would not exchange a single day or a year Good to be older ah hah Less complications everything clear
Living on borrowed time Without a thought for tomorrow Living on borrowed time Without a thought for tomorrow
Working-Class Hero
As soon as your born they make you feel small, By giving you no time instead of it all, Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all, A working class hero is something to be, A working class hero is something to be. They hurt you at home and they hit you at school, They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool, Till you're so f**king crazy you can't follow their rules, A working class hero is something to be, A working class hero is something to be. When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years, Then they expect you to pick a career, When you can't really function you're so full of fear, A working class hero is something to be, A working class hero is something to be. Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV, And you think you're so clever and classless and free, But you're still f**king peasents as far as I can see, A working class hero is something to be, A working class hero is something to be. There's room at the top they are telling you still, But first you must learn how to smile as you kill, If you want to be like the folks on the hill, A working class hero is something to be. A working class hero is something to be. If you want to be a hero well just follow me, If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

Woman is the Nigger of the World Woman is the nigger of the world Yes she is...think about it Woman is the nigger of the world Think about it...do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance If she won't be slave ,we say that she don't love us If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man While putting her down we pretend that she is above us Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is If you don't belive me take a look to the one you're with Woman is the slaves of the slaves Ah yeah...better screem about it We make her bear and raise our children And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen We tell her home is the only place she would be Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is If you don't belive me take a look to the one you're with Woman is the slaves of the slaves Yeah (think about it)
We insult her everyday on TV And wonder why she has no guts or confidence When she's young we kill her will to be free While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is If you don't belive me take a look to the one you're with Woman is the slaves of the slaves Yes she is...if you belive me, you better screem about it.
Repeat: We make her paint her face and dance We make her paint her face and dance We make her paint her face and dance
The Luck of the Irish
If you had the luck of the Irish You'd be sorry and wish you were dead You should have the luck of the Irish And you'd wish you was English instead!
A thousand years of torture and hunger Drove the people away from their land A land full of beauty and wonder Was raped by the British brigands! Goddamn! Goddamn!
If you could keep voices like flowers There'd be shamrock all over the world If you could drink dreams like Irish streams Then the world would be high as the mountain of morn
In the 'Pool they told us the story How the English divided the land Of the pain, the death and the glory And the poets of auld Eireland
If we could make chains with the morning dew The world would be like Galway Bay Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns The world would be one big Blarney stone
Why the hell are the English there anyway? As they kill with God on their side Blame it all on the kids the IRA As the bastards commit genocide! Aye! Aye! Genocide!
If you had the luck of the Irish You'd be sorry and wish you was dead You should have the luck of the Irish And you'd wish you was English instead! Yes you'd wish you was English instead!
Real Love
All my little plans and schemes Lost like some forgotten dream Seems like all I really was doing Was waiting for you
Just like little girls and boys Playing with their little toys Seems like all they really were doing Was waiting for you
Don't need to be alone No need to be alone
It's real love It's real, yes it's real love It's real
From this moment on I know Exactly where my life will go Seems that all I really was doing Was waiting for love
Don't need to be afraid No need to be afraid
It's real love It's real, yes it's real love It's real
Thought I'd been in love before, But in my heart I wanted more Seems like all I really was doing Was waiting for you
Don't need to be alone No need to be alone
It's real love Yes it's real, yes it's real love It's real, yes it's real love...
Peace
(This is a song that was, actually, channelled through an Indian guru on a sitar, and the guru also channeled the lyrics...but they were in Hindi. After the words were translated into English, they were in perfect meter with the melody. It just goes to show that being dead shouldn't stop you from being creative!)
Everyone Lives, Everyone dies
Everyone loves, everyone cries
Round the world we're all alike
So why is there war? Why do we fight?
Chorus: There's one Sea, one sky, one earth, you & I gotta learn to live together
When one hurts, when one bleeds, we all hurt, we all bleed we gotta learn to live together
Peace
Make Peace
Make Peace
Peace
isn't it time brothers stopped dying?
Isn't it Time mothers stopped crying?
Stop the fighting and the hate
we gotta make peace before it's too late
Chorus
When one hurts, when one bleeds, we all hurt, we all bleed we gotta learn to live together
Peace
Make Peace
Make Peace
Peace
Tight A$

Uptight's alright but if ya can't stand the heat you better get back in the shade
