Have I surrendered to the will of God;
Or am I still acting like the boss?
But I mean no harm nor put fault, On anyone that lives in a vault, But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
Does she know I still care?
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea;
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
Wealth is a filthy rag;
So erotic so unpatriotic;
So wrapped up in the American flag
Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
Get the loot, don't be slow, we're gonna catch a trout
Junk is piling up, taking up space
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss.
'Cause he doesn't tell you jokes or fairy tales, say he's got no style.
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud;
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
Now, a very great man once said;
That some people rob you with a fountain pen.;
It didn't take too long to find out;
Just what he was talkin' about.
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
Everybody must get stoned.
you remind me of something that used to be;
somethin' that crossed over from another century
God is in heaven;
And we all want what's his;
But power and greed and corruptible seed;
Seem to be all that there is
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,;
Pray that I don't die of thirst,;
Baby, two feet from the well.
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
Don't follow leaders;
Watch the parkin' meters
I fought with my twin, that enemy within, 'til both of us fell by the way.
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
