When a person is born,
A sorrow is also born.
When War fiercely rages,
The bloodshed is immeasurably
I'm burning, I'm burning, Throw more oil on the fire
I'm drowning, I'm drowning, Throw me in a sea that's deep.

Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me mom I'll be there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
Or a decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."

''It's the rainy season where I'm living Death comes leaping out of every doorway Wasting you for money, for your clothes And for your nothing Entire towns being washed away Favelas exploding on inflammable spillways Lynch-mobs, death squads, babies being born without brains The mad heat and the relentless rains Well if you stick your arm into that hole It comes out shit up to the bone And with her kisses bubbling on my lips I swiped the rain and nearly missed And then I went on down the road He went on down that road''

A modern day musical warrior on percussion lost a year ago today Neil Pear-t. A master, The Professor and to me the GREATEST lyricist/drummer ever in rock music. He is gone from this life, but his music will live on forever.....2112.
A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride Today’s Tom Sawyer Mean mean pride
Though his mind is not for rent Don’t put him down as arrogant His reserve, a quiet defense Riding out the day’s events – The river
What you say about his company Is what you say about society -Catch the mist – Catch the myth -Catch the mystery – Catch the drift.....

I wish i was the souvenir you kept your house key on..
Of bacon, toast and scrambled eggs
If I hadn't been so reckless
When I lost my other leg
If there was an open doorway
Where I could be warm and dry
And visit with some memories
I made once upon a time..
Life would be wonderful..

Death comes leaping out of every doorway
Wasting you for money, for your clothes
And for your nothing
Entire towns being washed away
Favelas exploding on inflammable spillways
Lynch-mobs, death squads, babies being born without brains
The mad heat and the relentless rains
Well if you stick your arm into that hole
It comes out shit up to the bone
And with her kisses bubbling on my lips
I swiped the rain and nearly missed
And then I went on down the road
He went on down that road''

So cool for the 1000s of times I heard that song never knew what they were.
Sometimes I could tune in a little more, but those lyrics suit me fine.
