Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease; Until He returns?
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun; Would treat a father so,; To wait upon him hand and foot; And always tell him, "No"?
No knife could ever cut our love apart
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Just what do you think you have to guard?
Democracy don't rule the world,; You'd better get that in your head.; This world is ruled by violence; But I guess that's better left unsaid.
You know, the streets are filled with vipers; Who've lost all ray of hope,; You know, it ain't even safe no more; In the palace of the Pope.
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
People ask about you; I didn't tell them everything I knew
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says; "Strike up the band," they hit it
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes; They're drinking and dancing, wearing bright colored clothes; All the young men with their young women looking so good; Well, I'd trade places with any of them ; In a minute, if I could
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
he not busy being born, Is busy dying
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,; No more booby traps and bombs,; No more decadence and charm,; No more affection that's misplaced, girl
May you build a ladder to the stars; And climb on every rung.
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
Wealth is a filthy rag; So erotic so unpatriotic; So wrapped up in the American flag
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
I'm T-boned and punctured; But I'm known to be calm
I'm in a cowboy band
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
I'm already there in my mind; And that's good enough for now
And you never ask questions; When God's on your side.
I'm in the streets; With the tombstone blues
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
Now the moon is almost hidden; The stars are beginning to hide; The fortunetelling lady; Has even taken all her things inside
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
I don't want to fake you out
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,; Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
Oh, some of us'll end up; In St. Cloud Prison,; And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells; I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
it is not he or she or them or it; That you belong to.
Time is all I have to give
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
That's how it is when things disintegrate
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
