I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray

Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody

Mama, take this badge off of me

Cities on fire, phones out of order

Lookin' at my shadow watching the colors up above

When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,;
How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?;
Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,;
Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.

In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,;
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.

Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?;
If you can read my mind, why must I speak?

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

You were snow, you were rain;
You were striped, you were plain,;

Senor, senor, let's disconnect these cables,;
Overturn these tables.;
This place don't make sense to me no more.

I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,;
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,;
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.

There was music in the cafes at night;
And revolution in the air.

When the last rays of daylight go down;
Buddy, you'll roll no more;
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard;
I wonder who they're ringing for

It's many a guard;
That stands around smilin',;
Holdin' his club;
Like he was a king.

Louise, she's all right, she's just near;
She's delicate and seems like the mirror;
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear;
That Johanna's not here

she's true, like ice, like fire

It's mighty funny;
the end of time has just begun

In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave

if every bone in his body was broken he would never admit it

I don't wanna be hers, I wanna be yours.

Pardon, monsieur," the desk clerk says,;
Carefully removes his fez,;
"Am I hearin' you right?"

When we meet again;
Introduced as friends;
Please don't let on that you knew me when;
I was hungry and it was your world.

She says, "What'll it be?";
I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"

Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously;
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.

I can smile in the face of mankind.;
Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine;
Most of the time.

If you're looking for assistance, babe,;
Or if you just want some company;
Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,;
Honey, come and see about me.

People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew

Don't trust me to show you the truth;
When the truth may only be ashes and dust.

If dogs run free, why not me;
Across the swamp of time?

And if my thought-dreams could be seen, They'd probably put my head in a guillotine

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?

You'd better do somethin' quick;
She's your lover now.

That's how it is when things disintegrate

Leaving men wholly, totally free;
To do anything they wish to do but die

I'm T-boned and punctured;
But I'm known to be calm

I'm walking through streets that are dead

Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder

Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take;
To find dignity

You can make me cry;
Never say goodbye

I was all right 'til I fell in love with you

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.

he not busy being born, Is busy dying

What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood

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.

Insanity is smashing up against my soul;
You can say I was on anything but a roll;
If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top;
What would I do with it anyway ;
Maybe take it to the pawn shop

Every brain is civilized,;
Every nerve is analyzed,;
Everything is criticized when you are in need.

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."

Whatever you wanted;
Slipped out of my mind

Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch

Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow

Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?

They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in;
Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks

One more cup of coffee 'fore I go;
To the valley below

I'll remember you;
At the end of the trail,;
I had so much left to do,;
I had so little time to fail.

The country music station plays soft;
but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off

What happened to the real you, you've been captured but by whom?

Sooner or later, one of us must know;
That I really did try to get close to you
