"Ecology Song"

"Ecology Song"


Fortunes of time making up a rhyme
How do we save tomorrow
Given a voice can you make a choice
Is it black, is it gray, is it yellow

Mother nature made it green
Prettiest place you've ever seen
People don't know what they need

Open your window
What do you see?
Do you remember
How it used to be?

All of this crying, while the earth is dying
It's a shock they won't stop because of the money
America is lost, figurin' the cost
You can hang your head in shame, it's disgusting

Mother nature made it green
Prettiest place you've seen
People don't know what they need

Open your window
What do you see?
Do you remember
How it used to be?

"Everybody's Talkin'"

"Everybody's Talkin'"


Everybody's talkin' at me
Can't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stoppin', starin'
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
Goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
In the pouring rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off a northeast wind
Sailin' on a summer's breeze
Skipping over the ocean
Like a storm.

Everybody's talkin' at me
Can't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stoppin', starin'
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
Goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
In the pouring rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off a northeast wind
Sailin' on a summer's breeze
Skipping over the ocean
Like a storm.

And you know I'll never leave my love behind

"Fallen Eagle"

"Fallen Eagle"


Sing to the fallen eagle
Helicopters fly
Chase him 'round the mountains
Chase him 'til he dies

They say that it's good sportin'
Shootin' him on the wing
Above the roar and clatter
You can hear your rifle sing
His death song
It won't be long

Sing to the western rancher
The eagle takes his lamb
He's got a thousand others
He don't give a damn

Get up with the sunrise
Everybody gather 'round
Kill him with the first shot
He'll turn and bring you down
Down down
Crash on the ground

Sing to the noble eagle
Help is on the way
A government team of experts
Is a'rushin' to your aid

I know your not excited
An eagle is no waif
Fly on up to Canada
This country isn't safe
Anymore
That's for sure

"Feed The People"

"Feed The People"


Why not feed the people everywhere
And let the peace begin?
Turn your swords to ploughshares everywhere
And feed the people

When they borrow in third world countries people need to be fed
So explain this to politicians while we send them guns instead
Of the seeds that they're planting in the ground
Making their own way
Self sufficient without permission from the good old usa
But it seems they owe us a lot of money
And do you know what for?
Cause the friends of senator arrogant made a killing on this civil war

[Chorus:]
It is hard to raise an army when your children are all fed
They got no motivation for making other people dead
Even with governmentt persuasion of the most compelling kind
Give them a choice they'll be looking at you as if you'd lost your mind
But then all of this craziness
It will not go away
Till we stop feeding hatred with embargoes and blockades

Why take the time to worry
About anybody else?
Maybe talk about them
Wonder how they felt
Caught in the cross fire of someone else's fight
What is wrong?
Nobody's right

All religions and ideologies
Suffer from the truth
Until lies become reality
When the people start to shoot
Got a whole lot to answer for
But who are we to judge?
Common sense and enough to eat
Can settle any grudge
When the kindness of strangers
It means no disrespect
Being honest with the help you give
Means there's nothing to expect

[Chorus]

"First Things First"

"First Things First"


First things first
When you can quit livin' in the past
When you stop worryin' 'bout tomorrow
Then I think you just might last

And I know the price of freedom
Gettin' more than a little high
In these angry days of sorrow
We find the meaning of a lie
So I sing about first things first

First things first
Remember everything you pass
When it's time to go on back
Remember to put the first things first

And I know the price of freedom
Gettin' more than a little high
In these angry days of sorrow
We find the meaning of a lie
So I sing about first things first

"Fishes And Scorpions"

"Fishes And Scorpions"


Fishes and Scorpions
In the morning sun
Dance to the changing seasons
Get away with none, oh

Water sign in the air
Touch the earth with flame
See the friendly Sagittarian
Do you remember his name, oh

Lovers of lions
Stay away at feeding
Time is all the Taurus takes
Mimicking life in rhyme, oh

And can you tell me
What does it do for you girl?
And can you tell me
Who is that you knew girl?

In the shadow of starshine
Everyone's going blind
Lookout you don't lose your mind

I don't know if it's a fantasy
It don't mean too much to me
In the shadow of starshine
Everyone going blind

Gemini lady
Did you see me chasing you
I don't think I did
I only tried to get through

"Flaming Heart"

"Flaming Heart"


Fishes and Scorpions
In the morning sun
Dance to the changing seasons
Get away with none

Water sign in the air
Touch the earth with flame
See the friendly Sagittarian
Do you remember his name

Lovers of lions
Stay away at feeding time
Is all the Taurus takes
Mimicking life in rhyme

And can you tell me
What does it do for you girl
And can you tell me
Who is that you knew girl

In the shadow of starshine
Everyone's going blind
Lookout you don't lose your mind
I don't know if it's a fantasy

It don't mean too much to me
In the shadow of starshine
Everyone's going blind
Gemini lady

Did you see me chasing you
I don't think I did
I only tried to get through

"For What It's Worth"

"For What It's Worth"


There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everyone's wrong
People speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

Yeah, stop children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
Ten thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away

Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

You better stop!
Stop
You better stop!
Stop
You better stop!

"Girl From The North Country"

"Girl From The North Country"


If you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was the true love of mine.

If you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see if she's a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds.

Please see if her hair hangs long
If it rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see from me if her hair hangs long
That's the way I remember her best.

I'm a-wonderin' if she remember me at all
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day.

So if you're travelin' in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine.

"Go Back Home"

"Go Back Home"


Think I'll go back home
Think I'll go back home
Think I'll go back home

Back where I belong
Think I'll go back home

Nothin' for me here
Nothin' for me here, child, no there ain't
Nothin' for me here

People trapped by fear
And you can't get near

Lived with you I felt
Lived with you I felt, child
Lived with you I felt

I was by myself
I was someone else

Babe, come home with me
Babe, come home with me now
Babe, come home with me

And I'll make you see
Yes, I'm gonna set you free

When I woke up this morning
I found that I was alone, yeah
Till I called your number
They told me there's no one home again

Well, baby, what does it mean?
Is it like it seems?
