In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain;
That could hold you dear lady from going insane
We pointed out the way to go;
And scratched your name in sand,;
Though you just thought it was nothing more;
Than a place for you to stand.
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,;
Get me a truck 'r somethin'.;
Gonna save my money and rip it up!
At dawn my lover comes to me;
And tells me of her dreams;
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse;
Into the ditch of what each one means
Praise be to Nero's Neptune;
The Titanic sails at dawn;
And everybody's shouting;
Which Side Are You On?
You say my kisses are not like his,;
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
My children will go, As soon as they grow.;
Well, there ain't nothing here now to hold them.
All the laughter is just making me sad
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies;
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
They said it was the land of milk and honey,;
now they say it's the land of money.;
Who ever thought they could ever make that stick.
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun;
"I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
For all eternity I think I will remember;
That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
A saxophone someplace far off played
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?
If there's a poor boy on the street,;
Then let him have my seat;
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,;
Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
I can't provide for you no easy answers,;
Who are you that I should have to lie?
Any day now, any day now,;
I shall be released.
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
