Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.
Everybody's wearing a disguise;
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime;
Or is it just solid rock?
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
How can I explain?;
Oh, it's so hard to get on
Most of the time;
I can't even be sure;
If she was ever with me;
Or if I was with her.
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,;
Nobody stops to ask why.
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."
Now, don't crowd me, lady;
Or I'll fill up your shoe
I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.;
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
But I will be back, I will survive,;
You'll never get rid of me as long as you're alive.
the cops don't need you;
and man they expect the same
you remind me of something that used to be;
somethin' that crossed over from another century
You can pound on the President's gate;
But you oughta know by now it's gonna be too late.
The world of illusion is at my door
Well, I asked for something to eat;
I'm hungry as a hog;
So I get brown rice, seaweed;
And a dirty hot dog
Wealth is a filthy rag;
So erotic so unpatriotic;
So wrapped up in the American flag
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.;
Ya either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
Have I surrendered to the will of God;
Or am I still acting like the boss?
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues;
You can tell by the way she smiles
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
I'm sick of love but I'm in the thick of it
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
You don't need a weather man;
To know which way the wind blows
Because something is happening here;
But you don't know what it is;
Do you, Mister Jones?
If I ever lose her I will go insane;
I go half crazy when she calls my name
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
