LBS. INTO YER HEAD

There are some who will tear down

any glimpse of true beauty in a split

second without thinking twice...

Or even once for that matter

Nobody around or in the 'big' cities

Truly realizes what is really 'going on'

 

'Tis not in the movie in the $20 seat theaters

'Tis not in the $10 DVD's

'Tis not in the pornographic magazines

That sell love but deal in lust

 

Tits and ass

Pooter and Cooter

Loot er.... if she's willin'

 

All, Everything, Everyone, Every sin

Oh...such a sin

No pride

No salvation

Nothingness made of everything

 

Every drop of blood spillin' down the

sewer is like every signature on bank loans...

We shall provide if you sign your name

on the dotted line

Sell us your soul and you will live easy

That's all it will take

 

Or do you prefer the low road... the hard road....

You dream twisters will have the fate of

your second sister twice removed

 

No rich, no poor, no middle

No up, no down

No city, no town

No corrections to fiddle with

Just that image that will

be with you every time you open yer eyes

Ahh Yes!!!

Then ye shall see...

Then ye shall know

Just what it is that I'm talking about

 

THE BALLAD OF DOC HOLLIDAY

Well I just blew into Cheyenne X2

And I ain't gonna do no dyin' X2

So give me 4 quarts of bourbon and a pack of cigarillos X2

 

If you double cross me you'll have hell to pay X2

You can call me 'Doc' but I'm John Holliday X2

Well I just blew into Cheyenne and I ain't gonna do no dyin'

So give me 4 quarts of bourbon and a pack of cigarillos X2

 

Well the name of the game is 5 card stud X2

If you deal from the bottom it'll be your blood

You better play your cards straight X2

If you go for your gun it's gonna be too late X2

I just blew into Cheyenne and I ain't gonna do no dyin'

Give me 4 quarts of bourbon and a pack of cigarillos

 

You mighta heard they put me on the run X2

But I'm a gambler not a hired gun X2

And I just blew into Cheyenne

Give me 4 quarts of bourbon and a pack of cigarillos X2

 

Well I just blew into Cheyenne X2

And I ain't gonna do no dyin' X2

So give me 4 quarts of bourbon and a pack of cigarillos X2

 

YOU DON'T KNOW ME, BABE

Sittin' out your window, sittin' out yer door

I used to love you but I don't anymore

I ain't gonna wait for you and you won't wait for me

The fires still burning I'm always learning about the things we can not see

That we can not see and you don't know me

You don't know me, babe

 

If I see you walkin' I ain't gonna run and hide

You can own the world and still be dead inside

You don't know me

You don't know me, babe

 

Livin' life with you is like a face full of broken glass

I ain't gonna stick around just so you can kiss my ass

Cause you don't know me

You don't know me, babe

 

I'm running with the wolves you're living with the ants

I believe in medicine men with their tribal dance

With the tribal dance

 

I will live for life you can live in fear

I won't allow you to rob my heart of all that it holds dear

Cause you don't know me

You don't know me, babe

 

You can try your best to cover up your eyes

You can read the papers believe all the lies

But you don't know me

You can criticize someone else's pain

But the crazy ones always end up being sane

And you don't know me

You don't know me, babe

 

But I'm here

Branded with fear

Can't you see

That you don't know me

You don't know me, babe

 

SOUND THE ALARM

The state of the world is in turmoil

Why don't we act on what we feel?

Are we all beat dogs?

Too intimidated to break free from the chains of conformity?

Run off into the wilderness by yourself

Ask the questions that you are afraid to ask yourself

Before some stranger self can

 

You walk with your legs so stand on your own 2 feet

What are you waitin' for?

Some holy sign to warn you of your turbulence?

 

I hate to look into the TV screens with their daily heartbreak

Presented with propaganda headlines

I refuse to turn on my TV and believe your foolishness

There is nobody now-a-days that doesn't have a sponsored thought

Anyone who takes themselves too seriously

Is condemned to repeat the past...tenfold

 

We all have hearts and we all have ears

So why don't we listen to our hearts

Instead of listening to the cowardly preachings of masochists sayin'

OH PITY ME OH LORD

OH SAVE ME OH LORD

OH JUST DO ANYTHING OH LORD

 

But the lord is not there waiting for your call

You must be there

Not by praying in the churches

But by recognizing his land of indifference

And submitting to it's laws

Undefined yet unresigned

 

It's not in the courts

It's not on the news

Or in your illusions of self righteousness

But I tell you this...

 

You will find it on top of the highest mountain

You dare to climb

All alone and forsaken

Reborn into eternity

Just a name but so much more

If you'd only realize your potential...our potential

Then we might achieve our earthly purpose

But not until we sound the alarm

 

MAN IN THE TREE

There's a man in the tree and he's talking to me

Saying welcome to the land of death

You'll die down here he said with a sneer

Liqour heavy on his breath

Then he started to unwind saying humans ain't kind

Man they lie they cheat and they steal

It's easy to see you won't get it for free

And they don't give a damn how you feel

 

There's a man in the tree and he's preachin' to me

About the weather, the church and his son

We're down for the count he said from his mount

The final deals almost done

So speak up while you can and fight for your land

Before you can't make a sound

Man it ain't no lie we're all gonna die

And just be dirt in the ground

 

There's a man in tree who thinks he's starting to see

The 4 horsemen drawing their swords

And he starts to wince and he seems convinced

It's the second coming of the lord

Things ain't like they were we're no longer pure

Our hands are stained with sin

There's nothing to save except a spot for your grave

You can't deny the shape we're in

 

There's a man in the tree and I'm startin' to agree

With every single word that he says

They'll play along nice if you cover the price

It comes down to whatever pays

Then he lifted his cloak and said this ain't no dirty joke

Can't you tell by the look on my face

Yes the end is here but you got nothing to fear

It's only the end of the human race

 

THE WOUNDS SHALL HEAL

If ever the world found peace

If ever we seen the light

If ever we walk together

If ever we shall fight

 

If ever we make amends

If ever the chain must break

If ever we turn our backs

If ever we make a mistake

If we ever make a mistake

 

If ever the road stops winding

If ever the car breaks down

If ever the dog stops howlin'

If ever you come back around

If you ever come back around

 

If ever we grow old

If ever we shall die

If ever the wounds shall heal

If ever we shall try

 

If ever there was no money

If ever we had no home

If ever there was a fire

If ever we shall roam

 

If ever there is another

If ever we shall part

If ever there is an end

I'll meet you back at the start

Well I'll meet you back at the start

 

The wounds shall heal, The wounds shall heal

 

FOLLOW THE BEAT

And all of a sudden we heard

A noise of thunder from above

It rose from echoes

Lost in meadows

Away...away

Come take a good look at yerself

 

Well we travel and we dance and we drink

Have a drink, grab a drum

Or if you can't find one get some sticks

And if you can't find any sticks well...

You got hands and feet don't ya

And you got a heartbeat

You gotta follow the beat

Close your eyes start tappin' on yer knees

Stomp yer feet

Follow the beat

 

What else you gonna do

It's the only road take

Are you gonna sit there and ignore yer heartbeat

That ain't no way to be treating your heart

Cause if you wanna have soul

You gotta stand up to the heat

You gotta follow the beat

 

It's too hard to ignore come knockin' on yer door

Time after time it leaves you beggin' for more

One time you mighta thought

You heard it ringing down your street

Now you're home alone

Yer dreamin' 'bout the beat

Follow the beat

 

WORDS CAN MEAN ANYTHING

Live in jail with your divine politics

Where the products are your headlines

The ragtime blues is happening

There was no justice for Hitler

Judas had the 7 deadly sins

While god sailed on

 

RED SUN

Red sun

Red sun shine your light on me

Red sun

 

Red sun

Red sun come and set me free

Red sun

 

I'm sick of this misery

Red sun

Gettin' down on my bended knee

To the red sun

 

Red sun shine yer light on me X2

Red sun

 

Red sun come and set me free

Red sun shine your light on me

Take away my misery red sun

Please shine your light on me

Said I'm down on my bended knee

To the red sun

 

Highest mountain to the farthest sea

Red sun

Red sun shine your light on me

Red sun
