What about the time?
You were fallin' over
Fell on your face
You must be having fun
Walk lightly!
Think of a time.
You'd best believe
This thing is real
Put away that gun
This part is simple
Try to recognize
What is in your mind
God help us!
Help us loose our minds
These slippery people
help us understand
What's the matter with him? - (He's alright!)
How do ya know? - (The lord won't mind..)
Don't know no games - (He's alright!)
Love from the bottom to the top!
Turn like a wheel! - (He's alright!)
See for yourself! - (The lord won't mind..)
We're gonna move! - (Right now!)
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel!
I remember when
Sittin' in the tub
Pulled out the plug
The water was runnin' out
Cool down
Stop acting crazy
They're gonna leave
And we'll be on our own
Seven times five
They were living creatures
Watch 'em come to life
Right before your eyes
Backsliding!
How do you do?
These slippery people
Gonna see you through
What's the matter with him? - (He's alright!)
How do ya know? - (The lord won't mind..)
Don't know no games - (He's alright!)
Love from the bottom to the top!
Turn like a wheel! - (He's alright!)
See for yourself! - (The lord won't mind..)
We're gonna move! - (Right now!)
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel!
Alright!
The lord won't mind..
Alright!
Love from the bottom to the top!
Alright!
The lord won't mind..
Right now!
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel!

Sometimes I lay under the moon
And I thank God I'm breathin'
Then I pray don't take me soon
'Cause I am here for a reason
Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know someday it'll all turn around because
All my life I been waitin' for
I been prayin' for, for the people to say
That we don't want to fight no more
They'll be no more wars
And our children will play, one day
It's not about win or lose 'cause we all lose
When they feed on the souls of the innocent blood
Drenched pavement keep on movin'
Though the waters stay ragin'
And in this life you may lose your way
It might drive you crazy
But don't let it phase you, no way
Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know someday it'll all turn around because
All my life I been waitin' for
I been prayin' for, for the people to say
That we don't want to fight no more
They'll be no more wars
And our children will play, one day
One day this all will change
Treat people the same
Stop with the violence down with the hate
One day we'll all be free and proud
To be under the same sun
Singing songs of freedom like
Peace

when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
You put a note in my pocket, said "be good to yourself"
But that was all
Life being what it is
We all dream of revenge
Open your eyes for a second
Just to roll them at me
I stared straight into the sun
Something to concentrate on
And if you turn it on you'd find
I've written you a thousand times
You would do anything
You'd give up everything for
God knows why
I just can't stay till your gone
I won't wish you well
I won't see you off
I won't try to call if I see you in my mind, i'll say to you it's not your fault
You said I'll see you in September
But that's not long enough for me
You put a note in my pocket
So that it would take care of me
But that was all
don't compete; coexist
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

Until the philosophy which holds one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war
That until there is no longer first class
And second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war
That until the basic human rights are equally
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race
Dis a war
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion
To be pursued, but never attained
Now everywhere is war, war
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique,
South Africa sub-human bondage
Have been toppled, utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war, me say war
War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
War, war, rumours of war
And until that day, the African continent
Will not know peace, we Africans will fight
We find it necessary and we know we shall win
As we are confident in the victory
Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil
Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil
Peace

They say you got to chose your side and, when its done.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
It ended in a great big fight and, when its done.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
Conflict each and everyday, at home and in the streets, and in my soul every way.
Its hard to keep the faith, when I feels so far away.
Times i feel connected, times I'm runnin' away.
But Whoa Whoa, Cant you see, all the sickness hungar, and poverty.
War on the land and war on the seas.
Whoa, War is a painfull thing.
One argument that none of us can hide, is the one thats ragin down deep inside.
Tryin' to make a point, or have the last word.
But most the time people just tryin to get hurt.
They say you got to chose your side and, when its done.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
It ended in a great big fight and, when its done.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
But how many people never eva broke a rule.
And how many people tryin to get their kids to school
And how many people prayin they only find a job.
And how many poeple are affraid of gettin robbed.
Whoa Whoa, nobody knows.
And whoa whoa, only god knows.
Numbers escalate, wall street, crime rate.
From the Bahgdad streets, to my city by the bay.
Hey they say you got to chose your side and, when its done.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
It ended in a great big fight and, when its done.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
And I say, can you say what you mean?
And can you mean what you mean what you say?
And can you say what you mean?
And can you mean what you mean what you say?
And can you say what you mean?
Every single day? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Reach out a hand to somebody who needs a hand.
And reach out a heart to somebody torn apart.
Its hard, this liven, this life we've been given.
Locked up your soul, or locked up in prison.
Remember you have to reach hard to be risen.
The day you let go is the day you are forgiven.
So they say you got to chose your side and, when its done.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
Nobody right now.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
And I say, one man got a jackpot earning, and your the daughters son.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.

G7
Seven richest countries in the world
Them have a little meeting
Them a plan to keep and oppress the poor
So them have a little meeting
But when them think then thing goes another
way
Yes when them think then thing goes another
way
Did you hear about these meetings
No you won't find poor countries there
Because of capitalist greed
Revolution seem to be the only way
It may be an old fashion way of thinking
But I believe in the people and these aims
'Cause when them think then things go the people
way
One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh
When them think then things go the the people
way
One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh
These countries want to stay on top
So they'll find any way
To them third world people life is but a small
price to be paid
They think they're great feeling no one can touch
them
Well them have a next thing comin'
'Cause when them think then things go the people
way
One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh
Oh when them think then thing goes another
way
One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh
Seven richest things in the world
What do they do for the people
Look at America the so-called best
How many homeless
Where the money went
In the sky on weapons of death
WHy don't they write the needy some more
checks
'Cause when them think then thing goes another
way
One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh
When them think then things go the the people
way
One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh
The poison from the poison stream caught up to you ELEVEN years ago and you floated out of here. Sept. 14, 08
Padded with power here they come
International loan sharks backed by the guns
Of market hungry military profiteers
Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
With the blood of the poor
Who rob life of its quality
Who render rage a necessity
By turning countries into labour camps
Modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom
Sinister cynical instrument
Who makes the gun into a sacrament --
The only response to the deification
Of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations'
Idolatry of ideology
North South East West
Kill the best and buy the rest
It's just spend a buck to make a buck
You don't really give a flying fuck
About the people in misery
IMF dirty MF
Takes away everything it can get
Always making certain that there's one thing left
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
See the paid-off local bottom feeders
Passing themselves off as leaders
Kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows
Open for business like a cheap bordello
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
See the loaded eyes of the children too
Trying to make the best of it the way kids do
One day you're going to rise from your habitual feast
To find yourself staring down the throat of the beast
They call the revolution
IMF dirty MF
Takes away everything it can get
Always making certain that there's one thing left
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
The poison from the poison stream caught up to you ELEVEN years ago and you floated out of here. Sept. 14, 08

I miss you more then ever and I don’t know what to do
I awake and the first thing i think about is you
Another day awaits me of living with out you
The mirror doesn’t lie, I look so different…...…I miss you
People pass and pass, it's always the same
The rhythm of life seems wrong
Things were much more different when you were here……..
I know It was so different when you here
There’s nothing more difficult then to live with out you…
No
Suffering while watching for your return
The cold of my body ask about you, and I don’t know where you are
If you hadn’t left I'd be so happy
People pass and pass, it's always the same
The rhythm of life seems wrong
It was so different when you were here
I know it was different when you were here
There’s nothing as difficult then to live with out you...NO
Suffering while waiting for you to return
The cold of my body asks about you, and I don’t know where your are !!
If you hadn’t left I would be so happy
There’s nothing as difficult then to live with out you…..No
Suffering while watching for your return
If you hadn’t left I would be so happy
If you hadn’t left I would be so happy…..

It burns deep down inside of me,
We have ourselves to blame.
Not questioning, accepted as the truth.
Debate this fight it's just cause
The facts do not support theirs
To liberate a people
And rid them of tyrant rule
Is it time to make a change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make a change.
Intrigued
Got your attention - deceived
Since the inception - our brave
Fight for what reason
Compelled
Can we clean up this mess?
The loss of loved ones
A perverse request
They continue the same rhetoric
These derelicts that profit
Win or lose
Is it time to make a change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make a change
Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change
The only thing
That I believe
Will help us see this through is faith.
Pray they will forgive,
Forgive our arrogance,
So we can make it right,
Right what they have wronged.
See you sweat
Unexpected, controversial
Get used to it
Things are gonna get personal
Your sympathy
A pitiful display you stutter
Your empathy
Means nothing if there is no honor
Responsible
Of this you are incapable
We implicate
Incriminate - Exacerbate - Too much at stake
Our Fathers, Mothers
Sisters, Brothers
Sons and Daughters
Forced
Perpetuating their ideals
A mindless act
To stay the course
Is it time to make a change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
Is it time to make a change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
Is it time to make a change?
A change from what it's been
Can we help them break away?
Is our patience wearing thin?
It's time to make a change
Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change

Don't be confused by my apparent lack of ceremony,
My mind is clear.
I may be low or miles high off in the distance,
I want you near.
= CHORUS=
I love you,
even when I'm sleeping.
When I close my eyes,
you're everywhere.
And if they take me flying on the magic carpet,
see me wave.
If our communication fails I'll re-connect it,
I want to rave.
=CHORUS=
I love you,
even when I'm sleeping
When I close my eyes,
you're everywhere
No matter where the road is leading us remember,
don't be afraid.
We have a continent that sometimes comes between us,
but that's ok.
= CHORUS=
I love you,
even when I'm sleeping.
When I close my eyes,
you're everywhere.
When I close my eyes,
you're everywhere.
Ooohhhhh...
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
Ooohhhhh...
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
Ooohhhhh...
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
Ooohhhhh ooohhhh ooohhhh

You were fallin' over
Fell on your face
You must be having fun
Walk lightly!
Think of a time.

God help us!
Help us loose our minds

Sittin' in the tub
Pulled out the plug

Cool down

And we'll be on our own
Seven times five

Watch 'em come to life
Right before your eyes
Backsliding!
How do you do?

Gonna see you through

You put a note in my pocket, said "be good to yourself"
But that was all
Life being what it is
We all dream of revenge
Open your eyes for a second
Just to roll them at me
I stared straight into the sun
Something to concentrate on
And if you turn it on you'd find
I've written you a thousand times
You would do anything
You'd give up everything for
God knows why
I just can't stay till your gone
I won't wish you well
I won't see you off
I won't try to call if I see you in my mind, i'll say to you it's not your fault
You said I'll see you in September
But that's not long enough for me
You put a note in my pocket
So that it would take care of me
But that was all
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?
"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama
when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

Until the philosophy which holds one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war
That until there is no longer first class
And second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war
That until the basic human rights are equally
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race
Dis a war
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion
To be pursued, but never attained
Now everywhere is war, war
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique,
South Africa sub-human bondage
Have been toppled, utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war, me say war
War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
War, war, rumours of war
And until that day, the African continent
Will not know peace, we Africans will fight
We find it necessary and we know we shall win
As we are confident in the victory
Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil
Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil
Peace

They say you got to chose your side and, when its done.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
It ended in a great big fight and, when its done.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
Conflict each and everyday, at home and in the streets, and in my soul every way.
Its hard to keep the faith, when I feels so far away.
Times i feel connected, times I'm runnin' away.
But Whoa Whoa, Cant you see, all the sickness hungar, and poverty.
War on the land and war on the seas.
Whoa, War is a painfull thing.
One argument that none of us can hide, is the one thats ragin down deep inside.
Tryin' to make a point, or have the last word.
But most the time people just tryin to get hurt.
They say you got to chose your side and, when its done.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
It ended in a great big fight and, when its done.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
But how many people never eva broke a rule.
And how many people tryin to get their kids to school
And how many people prayin they only find a job.
And how many poeple are affraid of gettin robbed.
Whoa Whoa, nobody knows.
And whoa whoa, only god knows.
Numbers escalate, wall street, crime rate.
From the Bahgdad streets, to my city by the bay.
Hey they say you got to chose your side and, when its done.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
It ended in a great big fight and, when its done.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
And I say, can you say what you mean?
And can you mean what you mean what you say?
And can you say what you mean?
And can you mean what you mean what you say?
And can you say what you mean?
Every single day? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Reach out a hand to somebody who needs a hand.
And reach out a heart to somebody torn apart.
Its hard, this liven, this life we've been given.
Locked up your soul, or locked up in prison.
Remember you have to reach hard to be risen.
The day you let go is the day you are forgiven.
So they say you got to chose your side and, when its done.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
Nobody right now.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
And I say, one man got a jackpot earning, and your the daughters son.
Nobody right, nobody wrong.
Peace

G7
Seven richest countries in the world
Them have a little meeting
Them a plan to keep and oppress the poor
So them have a little meeting
But when them think then thing goes another
way
Yes when them think then thing goes another
way
Did you hear about these meetings
No you won't find poor countries there
Because of capitalist greed
Revolution seem to be the only way
It may be an old fashion way of thinking
But I believe in the people and these aims
'Cause when them think then things go the people
way
One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh
When them think then things go the the people
way
One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh
These countries want to stay on top
So they'll find any way
To them third world people life is but a small
price to be paid
They think they're great feeling no one can touch
them
Well them have a next thing comin'
'Cause when them think then things go the people
way
One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh
Oh when them think then thing goes another
way
One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh
Seven richest things in the world
What do they do for the people
Look at America the so-called best
How many homeless
Where the money went
In the sky on weapons of death
WHy don't they write the needy some more
checks
'Cause when them think then thing goes another
way
One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh
When them think then things go the the people
way
One day dem deh deh dem no deh deh
The poison from the poison stream caught up to you ELEVEN years ago and you floated out of here. Sept. 14, 08
Padded with power here they come
International loan sharks backed by the guns
Of market hungry military profiteers
Whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
With the blood of the poor
Who rob life of its quality
Who render rage a necessity
By turning countries into labour camps
Modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom
Sinister cynical instrument
Who makes the gun into a sacrament --
The only response to the deification
Of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations'
Idolatry of ideology
North South East West
Kill the best and buy the rest
It's just spend a buck to make a buck
You don't really give a flying fuck
About the people in misery
IMF dirty MF
Takes away everything it can get
Always making certain that there's one thing left
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
See the paid-off local bottom feeders
Passing themselves off as leaders
Kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows
Open for business like a cheap bordello
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
And they call it democracy
See the loaded eyes of the children too
Trying to make the best of it the way kids do
One day you're going to rise from your habitual feast
To find yourself staring down the throat of the beast
They call the revolution
IMF dirty MF
Takes away everything it can get
Always making certain that there's one thing left
Keep them on the hook with insupportable debt
The poison from the poison stream caught up to you ELEVEN years ago and you floated out of here. Sept. 14, 08

I miss you more then ever and I don’t know what to do
I awake and the first thing i think about is you
Another day awaits me of living with out you
The mirror doesn’t lie, I look so different…...…I miss you
People pass and pass, it's always the same
The rhythm of life seems wrong
Things were much more different when you were here……..
I know It was so different when you here
There’s nothing more difficult then to live with out you…
No
Suffering while watching for your return
The cold of my body ask about you, and I don’t know where you are
If you hadn’t left I'd be so happy
People pass and pass, it's always the same
The rhythm of life seems wrong
It was so different when you were here
I know it was different when you were here
There’s nothing as difficult then to live with out you...NO
Suffering while waiting for you to return
The cold of my body asks about you, and I don’t know where your are !!
If you hadn’t left I would be so happy
There’s nothing as difficult then to live with out you…..No
Suffering while watching for your return
If you hadn’t left I would be so happy
If you hadn’t left I would be so happy…..
Very nice Blues Jam this should be posted in Greatest Live Video Thread in Other Music. Aweome!

Prophets Of War
[Music: Dream Theater / Lyrics: James LaBrie]
It burns deep down inside of me,
We have ourselves to blame.
Not questioning, accepted as the truth.
Debate this fight it's just cause
The facts do not support theirs
To liberate a people
And rid them of tyrant rule
Is it time to make a change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make a change.
Intrigued
Got your attention - deceived
Since the inception - our brave
Fight for what reason
Compelled
Can we clean up this mess?
The loss of loved ones
A perverse request
They continue the same rhetoric
These derelicts that profit
Win or lose
Is it time to make a change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
It's time to make a change
Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change
The only thing
That I believe
Will help us see this through is faith.
Pray they will forgive,
Forgive our arrogance,
So we can make it right,
Right what they have wronged.
See you sweat
Unexpected, controversial
Get used to it
Things are gonna get personal
Your sympathy
A pitiful display you stutter
Your empathy
Means nothing if there is no honor
Responsible
Of this you are incapable
We implicate
Incriminate - Exacerbate - Too much at stake
Our Fathers, Mothers
Sisters, Brothers
Sons and Daughters
Forced
Perpetuating their ideals
A mindless act
To stay the course
Is it time to make a change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
Is it time to make a change?
Are we closer than before?
Can we help them break away?
Are we profiting from war?
Is it time to make a change?
A change from what it's been
Can we help them break away?
Is our patience wearing thin?
It's time to make a change
Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change
peace
