Song: PARANOID

Did you ever have that feeling in your life, that someone was watching you?
He don't have no reason, that's right. But, still he's there watching you.
Someone is waiting just outside the door, to take you away.
Everybody knows just what he's there for, to take you away.

But, you don't know why he's been waiting.
But, you don't know why he's been waiting.
Spent too much time anticipating.
Spent too much time anticipating.

Did you ever think it could be you, that's just outside the door?
There's just one way to find out if it's true. So, what you waiting for?
Oh, get yourself together now, my friend, and step outside the pad.
If there's no one waiting for you there, my friend, I think you should be glad.

But, who wasn't there that you should look out for?
But, who wasn't there that you should look out for?
Get back inside your wall, and shut the door.
Get back inside your wall, and shut the door.

You don't have nobody, don't need nobody, can't love nobody,
You're better off by yourself.
You ain't feelin' too bad, you're driving me mad, and say you're bad,
You're better off by yourself.

You don't have nobody, don't need nobody, can't love nobody,
You're better off by yourself.
You ain't feelin' too bad, you're driving me mad, and say you're bad,
You're better off by yourself.

Ahhhhh ...​

Song: NOTHING IS THE SAME

When I was feeling 'bout sixteen, I never had no idea.
Listen to me if you want to know what I mean, your expression will let me see.
I never knew what I was looking for, I never had the time.
And now that time has opened up my door, now I'm looking forward just to see what, just what's mine.

When I was feeling 'bout eighteen, it's then when I began to see.
No matter how hard you push on the door, it won't open without the key.
Opportunity only knocks once, if you shut it out it's a sin.
And when something keeps right on poundin', then, my friend, you'd better let it in.

Now I feel just a little bit old and, sadness fills my brain.
I can flash to future years and nothing is the same.
Nothing is the same.
Nothing is the same.
Nothing is the same.​

Song: PEOPLE, LET'S STOP THE WAR

Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo-Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo

Hey all you people, for goodness sake,
Let's get together, what does it take,
To make you understand the value of a man?
I'm talkin' about your son and neighbor, yes I am. Oh ...

People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.

If we had a president, that did just what he said,
The country would be just alright, and no one would be dead,
From fighting in a war, that causes big men to get rich.
There's money in them war machines, now ain't this a bitch? Oh ...

People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.

I been excited, ain't nobody ready.
They don't know what to get ready for.
Let's get ready and stop the war.

Ooo ... excited, ain't nobody ready.
They don't know what to get ready for.
Let's get ready and stop the war.

I been excited, ain't nobody ready.
They don't know what to get ready for.
Let's get ready and stop the war.

Ooo ... excited, ain't nobody ready.
They don't know what to get ready for.
Let's get ready and stop the war.

Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo-Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo

People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.

People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.
People let's stop the war.​

Song: RAIN KEEPS FALLIN'

I remember the night so well.
The rain was fallin' but I just couldn't tell,
If it was you that was callin' to my love-sick brain.
But the rain kept fallin' on my window pane.

Out of the night the thunder rang in my ear.
I can't fight the feelin', Lord, that brings forth my fears.
I wish it was over, Lord, please stop the rain.
The rain that's fallin' on my window pane.

The rain that's fallin' on my window pane.

Every night the rain's on time, I can feel it in this heart of mine.
But I don't know what to do.
Well, I guess I could go back home, 'cause you know back home is where I belong.
But it just ain't home without you.

And I don't know what to do, baby.

Well, I guess I'm a looser but it just don't seem fair.
I lost all my life so tell me, why should I care?
The night that you left me is the night that it came.
And the rain's still fallin' on my window pane.

The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
You know the rain.
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
I said the rain.
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
You know the rain.
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
I said the rain.
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
You know the rain ...
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.
... keeps right on fallin'.
The rain keeps fallin' on my window pane.

I said, the rain keeps fallin' ...​

Song: RELEASE YOUR LOVE

Ahhhh baby release it, talkin' about your love.
Yeah, baby release it, your love,
Your love.

Release your love to me.
And, put it in my heart where it's supposed to be.
Release your love to me.
'Cause girl I can't live without it.
Release your love to me.
'Cause girl I'm 'gonna take you home.
You ain't never 'gonna be alone.
Unless you're out there on your own.
You don't have to worry.

And, we're 'gonna make plans for eternity.
Release your love to me.
You'll never ever have to doubt it.
Release your love to me.
'Cause, baby, that's the way that it's got to be.

I know there's other lovers,
But, they just can't stick.
'Cause none of them other lovers,
Baby, can do my trick.

I know there's other lovers,
But, they just can't stick.
'Cause none of them other lovers,
Baby, can do my trick.

Release your love.

We're 'gonna make plans for eternity.
Release your love to me.
There'll never be a doubt about it.

Song: ROCK & ROLL SOUL

We're having a party, yeah, yeah, everybody's invited,
The new generation along with the old.
If you could get with it just a little more, it don't take much tryin',
You'll find out if you've got some rock & roll soul, baby.

Ain't everybody in the world. So when you know what you got, let everybody know,
You got some rock & roll soul.
So when you know what you got, let everybody know,
You got some rock & roll soul.

I know it when I'm feelin' groovy,
It's kind of funky like an old-time movie.
I can feel it and it's really something,
It's really something when my heart starts pumpin', yeah.

Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.
Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.

Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.
Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.
Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.
Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.
Tell everybody you know, you got some rock 'n roll soul.​

Song: SAVE THE LAND

Look out for the land rush, it's coming day by day.
Said, get ready for the land rush, it's headed right your way.
Look what you're paying, to live on your land,
And most folks don't even have some, but I don't understand.

Spread the news across the land, and just do the best you can,
All we've got is just the land; Take a stand, save the land.

Sometimes I sit here thinking, but all the answers just don't appear.
I'm calling to my brothers and sisters, let's get together and kill this fear.
There ain't really gonna' be much to it. We can control the thing if we try.
With just a little more understanding, the whole world will get by.

Spread the news across the land, and just do the best you can,
All we've got is just the land; Take a stand, save the land.

Spread the news across the land, and just do the best you can,
All we've got is just the land; Take a stand, save the land.​

Song: SHININ' ON

We are winners and losers, bed fellow choosers,
Put here to pass by the times.
We are space-age sailors, all had our failures,
Now everybody gonna' shine.

Keep it shinin' on.
Keep it shinin' on.

See the fire within them burnin',
Touch the fire make me feel so fine.
Keep the fire within you livin'
Everybody gonna' shine, shine, shine.

Keep it shinin' on.
Keep it shinin', shinin' on.
Keep it shinin' on.

Shinin' on.
Shinin' on.

What?
Well, alright.

Keep it shinin' on.
Keep it shinin', shinin' on.
Keep it shinin' on.

Keep it shinin' on, shinin' on, shinin' on.

Keep it shinin', keep it shinin', keep it shinin' on.
Keep it shinin', keep it shinin', keep it shinin' on.
Keep it shinin', keep it shinin', keep it shinin' on.
(and so on, in rounds)​

Song: STOP LOOKIN' BACK

Stuck in the county jail,
Nobody here gonna' pay my bail.
Thirty days with a smelly drunk,
A turn-key callin' me a dirty punk.
I got to pick myself up, and stop lookin' back.
And I've got to move straight ahead, stop lookin' back.

Shoot for the stars when my eyes can't see the starlight.
Reach for the sun in the night.
Stop lookin' back at the times I was defeated,
I pick myself up, I move straight ahead, I stop lookin' back.

Stranded! Nothing worse.
I'm livin' on coffee, I got an empty purse.
I'm dreamin' 'bout blue eyes lookin' my way,
Hopin' my dreams don't blow away.
I got to pick myself up, and stop lookin' back.
And I've got to move straight ahead, stop lookin' back.

Shoot for the stars when my eyes can't see the starlight.
Reach for the sun in the night.
Stop lookin' back at the times I was defeated,
I pick myself up, I move straight ahead, I stop lookin' back.​

Song: THE LOCO MOTION

1:
Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it
If you give it a chance now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your a b c's
So come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with me

You gotta swing your hips now
Come on baby, jump up, hmmm jump back
Oh well I think you got the knack

2:
Now that you can do it
Let's make a chain now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
Chug-a chug-a motion like a railway train now
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
Do it nice and easy now don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
So come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with me
Yeah

3:
Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you got the notion
(C'mon baby do the loco-motion)
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy
When you're feeling blue
So come on come on do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now

END:
Come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with me
Yeah
Come on, come on,
Do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now​
