"Ball Of Confusion"

"Ball Of Confusion"


A ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today

People moving out people moving in Why because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run but you sure can't hide
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and I'll set you free
The only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher
Nobody's interested in learning but the teacher
around and around and around we go
Where it stops nobody knows

Segregation determination demonstration integration
Aggravation humiliation obligation to our nation
A ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today

The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
The city's ablaze in the summer time
And the beat goes on

Economics Reaganomics birth control
Sound of soul shooting rockets to the moon
Kids growing up too soon
The politicians say

Around and around and around we go
Where it stops nobody knows

A ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today
Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that's what the world is today

"Baptized"

"Baptized"


Yeah!
Misled again we take up guns and blow it all away
Brothers lost to who we are in terror we exchange
Sleep walking into mass graves
Bought and sold like slaves

It's the end of the old
A new era unfolds
Like a thief in the night taking everything
We won't hear you
We won't hear you

Yeah!
Burned again we stand and fight into the longest night
Facing death we know there's more inside we see a light
Time has come to all rise up cannot be denied

It's the end of the old
A new era unfolds
Like a thief in the night taking everything
We won't hear you
We won't hear you
We won't hear you... baptized
We won't hear you... in fire!
We won't hear you... baptized
We won't hear you... in fire!

Fires raging in black days casting a new light
No more objects in our way the path comes into sight
Kings and thieves all haunted men running in the night

It's the end of the old
A new era unfolds
Like a thief in the night taking everything
We won't hear you
We won't hear you
We won't hear you... baptized
We won't hear you... in fire!
We won't hear you... baptized
We won't hear you... in fire!

"Bees"

"Bees"


We live in the same world, walking down the same streets.
Through different windows, we see into so many scenes.
Breaking into ourselves from the shallow to the deep.
There’s really no rules to break, just the ones we make.

Feels like we’re bees in a hive. Do we know we’re alive?
How we try, how we try, all this living just to die.

Motion catches motion, colors break in the seams.
Waves on the ocean, seeing ourselves in a dream.
Every variation, a million ways to perceive.
There’s really no rules to break, just the ones we make.

Feels like we’re bees in a hive. Do we know we’re alive?
How we try, how we try, all this living just to die.

Breaking down, building up once more.
Walking off to a different shore,

Like we’re bees in a hive. Do we know we’re alive?
How we try, how we try, all this living just to die.

"Better Days"

"Better Days"


What do you do when she don't love you anymore?
What do you do when she wont hold you anymore?
Living in sin, now you're all alone again.
She's having a change of heart
without a word everything just falls apart
What do you do when she don't love you anymore?
What do you do when she wont hold you anymore?
Two lovers walking through life together
Tender kisses and all the sweet things they used to say

Memories from better days

Everything we built
Everything that i believed in...
Just some old fashioned fantasy.

"Better Life"

"Better Life"


Wait for the morning light to sneak up with the sunrise
Last night was so long ago, where did the hours go?
I saw the first daylight shining in your eyes
You were mine and the world was ours

Dreams of a better life can come true
It's all there in you

Just like a break in the clouds when the sun come shining through
Momentary glimpse of the divine, sometimes when I look at you
And everything just cancels out
And for that moment there's no doubt

Dreams of a better life can come true
It's all there in you

Sometimes a new day can bring a new beginning
You took me to a place no time can erase
Yesterday I was a loser, today I'm winning
Today you're mine and the world is ours

Dreams of a better life can come true
It’s all there in you

"Better Things"

"Better Things"


Here is wishing you the bluest skies
Hoping something better comes tomorrow
Hoping all the verses rhyme
The very best of choruses too

Follow all the doubt and sadness
I know that better things are on their way

Here is hoping all the days ahead
Won’t be as bitter as the ones behind you
Be an optimist instead
And somehow happiness will find you

Forget what happened yesterday
I know that better things are on their way

It’s really good to see you rocking out and having fun
Living like you’ve just begun
Accept your life and what it brings
I hope tomorrow you find better things
I know tomorrow you’ll find better things

Here is wishing you the bluest skies
Hoping something better comes tomorrow
Hoping all the verses rhyme
The very best of choruses too

Follow all the doubt and sadness
I know that better things are on their way

It’s really good to see you rocking out and having fun
Living like you’ve just begun
Accept your life and what it brings
I hope tomorrow you find better things
I know tomorrow you’ll find better things
I know tomorrow you’ll find better things

Forget what happened yesterday
I know that better things are on their way

I know you got a lot of good things happening up ahead
The past is gone, it’s all been said
So here’s to what the future brings
I hope tomorrow you’ll find better things
I hope tomorrow you’ll find better things
I hope tomorrow you’ll find better things
I hope tomorrow you’ll find better things
I know tomorrow you’ll find better things

"Big Eyes"

"Big Eyes"


You left home for the first time when you were seventeen
Searching for a life beginning a new dream
You drove your car all night to learn your way around
Feeling so alone in a parking lot downtown
You had your love to give
So much life to live

Hey little girl don't look so sad it’s not the end of the world
I've seen this film before, already know the ending
Some of the faces change but the plot it stays the same
Take my hand lets walk away

What did those big eyes see in a world where nothings free?
Your innocent beauty was slipping quietly
With every turn you frown
No one to understand
Why would you feel so down?
No one to really see what a woman you could be

Hey little girl don't look so sad it’s not the end of the world
I've seen this film before, already know the ending
Some of the faces change but the plot it stays the same
You gave your heart every moment when no one cared
They made you small they couldn't make you fall

Hey little girl
Hey there little girl
Hey little girl

Hey little girl don't look so sad it’s not the end of the world
I've seen this film before, already know the ending
Some of the faces change but the plot it stays the same
So take my hand...
Take my hand...
So take my hand...
Let's walk away

"Blackout"

"Blackout"


Cold night, only 6pm
Surrounded by this old comforting glow again
Outside it’s dark, so unsettling
Dark times are closing in
Dark times are rolling in

Cold night, only 8pm
Thank god I’m surrounded by so many friends
Outside no one knows where to begin
Dark times are closing in
Dark times are rolling in

And if I don’t talk to you and your hope is wearing thin
I’ll see you when the sun shines again
And if I don’t see you and it feels like it’s the end
I’ll see you when the sun shines again

Reflections dancing on the ceiling
I can’t make sense of what I’m feeling
We take our stance and make our plans
Our hearts are in good hands
Our hearts are in good hands

And if I don’t talk to you and your hope is wearing thin
I’ll see you when the sun shines again
And if I don’t see you and it feels like it’s the end
I’ll see you when the sun shines again

And if I don’t talk to you and your hope is wearing thin
I’ll see you when the sun shines again
And if I don’t see you and it feels like it’s the end
I’ll see you when the sun shines again

"Blind Date"

"Blind Date"


I wish that you could see the you that I see.
Not some bullshit glamour fantasy.
Put down those magazines and see...
see a real beauty.

I wish that you could see the glory that I see.
Shining like the winter sun.
I wish that you could see...
see the true glory.

Wish there was something I could do
to make you see.
Wish there was something I could say...
but you won't hear me.
I guess there's some things that I can't explain.
Some things that I could never change.

I read your thoughts in your eyes
when you look at me.
I see the real you when you smile.
I see the real beauty.
I see the real beauty.

"Boogie Woogie Downtown"

"Boogie Woogie Downtown"


How did it come to this?
Where did it all go wrong?
Nothing seems to be what it used to be,
And no one's happy

I lie awake at night
This feeling just ain't right
These words go round and round and round in my head
Like a broken record

If this goes on much longer,
I think I'm gonna explode

'Cause I don't wanna wait 'til tomorrow
I wanna have it out right now
Because if this thing is over,
What's the point to drag it out?
Let's put it in the ground

This takes up all my time
I need to clear my mind
We don't see things eye to eye anymore
And it's just kinda beat

This is a tragedy
Like watching bad TV
This show plays on and on and on in my head
I can't change the channel

If this goes on much longer,
I think I'm gonna explode

'Cause I don't wanna wait 'til tomorrow
I wanna have it out right now
Because if this thing is over,
What's the point to drag it out?
Let's put it in the ground

Stop dragging it around
It's bringing me down
Well you won't leave it down

If this goes on much longer,
I think I'm gonna explode

'Cause I don't wanna wait 'til tomorrow
I wanna have it out right now
Because if this thing is over,
What's the point to drag it out?
What's the point to drag it out?
Let's put it in the ground
