Songs Lyrics When the sleeping volcano starts grumbling And your kingdom is shattered by a stone And the criminal who killed Robert Kennedy He's standing outside your window and my how he's grown And the judge says the house that you built Is no longer your own Well its time - It's time to come home When the guests that you thought would be gratefull Condemn you for all of the gifts that you give And you plead with them to accept your own suicide If only they would allow you just to live They say no we don't want your loan We want everything you own Well its time - It's time to come home Do you ever wonder why it is that your so understanding But the more you try the more you find yourself standing all alone When this fantasy that you thought was going to last forever Turns into a nightmare of fear that you've never known Well its time - It's time to come home When you broke down the barriers between you Just to discover that your really not the same Still desperately you must seek acceptance So they accept you to be the one to blame And they hate you for the seeds that you've sown And for thinking that this land is your own Well its time - It's time to come home When the mistress that you thought you could marry Says first your children you must disown And the dog that you thought was so loyal Bears his teeth every time you throw him a bone They say no we don't want your loan We want everything you own And its time - It's time to come home

Songs Lyrics When truith goes out naked shes hated and scorned Temples are closed down - school children are warned Enemies are united - murderers are freed They all look so holy with their knife up their sleeve When truth goes out naked - shes banned accross the state Those who preach love say for her its ok to hate But behind the angry faces there's a fear and a chill Of what the truth will uncover - the innocent blood they have spilled And those who deal falsely are the ones who really make a fuss Protecting precious justice when they really mean just-us. When truth goes out naked And everybody knows the reason shes been sentenced by the court Because the jokers who rule - they are loosing their support When truth goes out naked Those who try and cover her with clothes she just won't wear They are only trying to hide themselves from something they can't bear When truth goes out naked missiles are engaged Those who are complacent suddenly go flying into a rage Saying do what you must do - just make it look clean And the midgets grind their axes and they call her obscene When truth goes out naked toupees fall from their place Disbelievers know who they are - it's written all over their face They say she's dangerous - she must be silenced now She reveals too much of her figure and she makes us all look like cows When truth goes out naked Oh better not debate her but defame her they cry If your walking on stilts better not look her in the eye When truth goes out naked - they look up from their books They hide behind their beards and they give her dirty looks But the letters fly from the pages and they greet her like a queen They say you who think you know me - you don't even know the 1st thing When truth goes out naked When truth goes out naked - she never really understood They say why don't you lie just a little - your too honest for your own good When truth goes out naked When truth goes out naked - they hide behind the window sill Sometime they don't even realize - just who it was that they killed When truth goes out naked Those who try and cover her with clothes she just won't wear They are only trying to hide themselves from something they can't bear

Songs Lyrics You used to say give peace a chance So they took a piece and another piece and another one You used to say we shall overcome And so they did and now they hate you for what you've done You used to say all you need is love But tell me if you still believe it When your lying in a pool of your own blood You used to say you want to change all the rules And now you see somehow they just don't apply to you And you wonder well how can that be? How can you believe in something that you just can't see With all of the intelligence that you boast You've condemned what you love most So go now and finish what you did start You've been to school and you know your so smart But tell me - where is your heart You used to say you just want to be free Now the criminals say - so do we You used to say power to the people Well now the people got power and they took away your little flower You were a child once and you had a dream But ain't it hard to wake up and see that sometimes people get mean Well the master who wrote the book He stood quietly as you did scoff He let you dig your own hole With your very own words you been caught By the children that you did raise to be rebels in the protest days I hear them say they want to tear you apart And you agree with them cause your so smart But tell me where is your heart

Songs Lyrics Johnny Boy what a shame you left the world this you know I feel so sorry - for this world They came and took you on that night When all you asked for was the light of all our love Your love will carry on Johnny Boy you never hid your own true feelings Now your feelings have been broken - like this world They came and took you on that night When all you asked for was the light of all our love Your love will carry on Johnny Boy so much love you had what crazy hand Blew you away from this world They came and took you on that night When all you asked for was the light of all our love Your love will carry on

Get Back 03:35
Can I get my day of rest When I'm feeling so restless Can I get my peace of mind When they want a piece of me Can I get my freedom When I'm breaking all the rules Can I get any wisdom When I keep hanging out with fools Can I get my hope back When I feel all hope is gone Can I get it back again Can I get back home Can I feel the sun shine When I slept the day away Can I get my ticket When I ain't got no place to go Can I reach for things When my heart is so heavy How can I rock the boat When my own hand ain't steady (Chorus)

Songs Lyrics Can a light - Be put out Can such a light - Be put out Is that all there is - It's not possible - Such a light Goin to kep your light burning - going to keep it lit Going to build your dream - brick by brick Going to do what I can to carry on To bring your children back to where they belong I'm going to keep your light burning - till every light is lit I'm going to build your dream brick by brick Im going to keep your light burning - till every light is lit I'm going to build your dream brick by brick La,la,la

Songs Lyrics Looking through this broken window pane Wondering if my world is going to end here Please don't ask me why I'm not there I'm just sitting here watching the ships sail past me What makes you think that your so good Cause you found a crowd that you can fit with But you'd never stand in the place that giants stood Cause everybody knows that All the good guys die But fools go round and round again And I guess I must be a fool for trying I don't want the things you think I should I just want to try to live my life without lying I see orphans and broken hearts And salesmen selling photos of the fallen This time I wonder who their goin to crusify But don't let it bring you down Cause everybody knows that All the good guys die And fools go round and round again And everybody knows its just the way it goes my friend The stoolies and the spies will spread their wings and fly But all the good guys die Chorus

Don't want to be another one of your boys Walk your dog or wind your toys Don't want to work for you no more - I'm leaving Get so upset and spill your martini Say your cream puffs are not too creamy Well this boy is leaving. Sometime it gets just too hard to please you I wonder where its all going to lead you Well shovel your coal and swallow your steam Work so hard it makes you mean Churn your muscle and turn your cream to butter Fill your bullets full of lead Shoot your problems in the head Whats dead is dean and won't disturb your supper (Chorus) Well grind your bones and grit your teeth Slap your gravy on your beef Shake your salt until its sweet and tasty Jam your jelly through the door Holler and scream for more Say its for your dinosaur Hes thirsty (Chorus)

Freedom Song 05:16
LYRICS Some people say they dont believe a time will ever come When soldiers put down all their guns and go home But I believe that someday soon the tyrants all must fall Their curtain and their wall come a tumblin down No more need to hurt or bleed or suffer anymore Nobobody wants a war - everybody want to be free Everybody sing - La la la la Oh Ya Everybody sing this song Well one day al the prisoners tortured and condemned Will walk out of their cells and go back home again The cheated on betrayed upon and all the falsely tried No more of them will die - justice shall be done No more slaves no more kings no more battlefields All the swords shall yield- justice shall be done Everybody sing - La la la la Everybody sing this song No Buchenwald no Babi Yar no Hiroshima death No man made to confess to crimes he never done No terror tanks, blood money banks no cry of bitter tears No more nazi fears no children forced to hide The cannons fails the sirens wail be silenced by the sun Alll misery be done a new world shall arise Everybody sing - La la la la Everybody sing this song

Songs Lyrics This is a song for the children no one can deceive you When they try to lie you can see in their eye Don't let them mislead you Though I'm not here to catch you You must walk on your own - you will not fall Come one little children - stand tall This is a song for the children no one can bribe you With candy and all kind of sweet things That will never satisfy you Chorus This is a song for the children your eyes cannot be covered When you hear the painfull cry of your brother - let it be your own pain Don't be afriad of the thunder Chorus This is a song for the children your heart is pure and faithfull Don't let your soul become tarnished Give of yourself and learn to be gratefull Chorus
11.
Im comforted by the way you are united against me Im comforted by the way you accuse me Im comforted cause I know it was written long ago Every curse that you send will end up blessing me Im comforted by the way you are united against me Im comforted by the way you accuse me Im comforted cause I know it was written long ago You will fall into the very pit that you prepared for me Ah, And it was written long ago Ah, I wasn't really sure if it was so Ah, But now you prove to me that its true, yes you do And I'm comforted by the faith that you have brought me to Im comforted by the seventy wolves that surround me Im comforted by their growl and their howl at night Im comforted cause I know if this is really happening Then the morning too must surely be in sight (Chorus)
12.
Songs Lyrics Change will come Not by threats or fear of anyone Not by force nor by battling the sun But change will come Change will come Not by death who you defy with your gun Not by the closest love of anyone But change will come Oh when your weary When your tired of yourself When your obsessions no longer give you pleasure And you desire something else Well you won't even have to lift your thumb Change will come Change will come Not by the footsteps of someone Not by strength or winning what cannot be won But change will comet Change will come Not science or by prayers that you have done Not by blaming yourself or everyone But change will come Chorus

One Girl 04:24
One girl that I speak with One I hardly know One girl moves to fast for me One girl moves to slow One girl that I'm waiting for One I have not met One girl that I call upon Whenever I'm upset (Chorus) But the one girl I'm thinking of The one girl that I'm dreaming of The one girl that I truly love - shes gone Well there's one girl that I talk with Two girls that I tease Three girls that I fight with And one I try to please One girl makes me happy Another girl makes me sad One girl always tells me I remind her of her Dad (Chorus) One girl keeps me company One keeps me out late One girl likes to see me But only when I'm straight One girl reads me stories Another one tells me lies One girl always thinks She going to catch me by surprise (Chorus)
