    Mudhoney, Hard On For War

    Can you hear the little girls asking
    Daddy where have all the little boys gone
    They don't meet us at the mall
    Daddy where have all the little boys gone
    The little girls, they ask me
    They don't tease us in classroom

    They have left us all behind
    The little boys are fighting
    The little boys are dying
    It's our patriotic duty
    To preserve our way of life
    To make sweet love tonight

    See these lovely lonesome ladies
    All these lonely lovely ladies
    Keep on kockin' on my door
    And it's so easy to score
    I'm the only game in town
    They don't ignore me anymore
    Now i know why dirty old men are always pushin' for war

    Now i know why dirty old men are always pushin' for war
    I've become a dirty old man with a hard-on for war


    great song by the way

    "Gather 'Round The Stone"

    You're too young to know
    That you're too young to go
    There's no freedom to be found
    Lying face up in the ground

    Ashes from an unfinished life
    Are all that's left
    In a tear-drop-shaped locket
    Hanging from his mother's chest

    You whip the back of freedom
    'till it bleeds an oil stream
    Then you sail down upon it
    In your killing machine

    Old men who send children
    Off to die in vain
    They will hear death's constant whisper
    Call remember my name

    Gather 'round the stone
  • Fuel - Ani

    they were digging a new foundation in manhattan
    and they discovered a slave cemetary there
    may their souls rest easy
    now that lynching is frowned upon
    and we've moved on to the electric chair
    and i wonder who's gonna be president, tweedle dum or tweedle dummer?
    and who's gonna have the big blockbuster box office this summer?
    how about we put up a wall between houses and the highway
    and you can go your way, and i can go my way
    except all the radios agree with all the tvs
    and all the magazines agree with all the radios
    and i keep hearing that same damn song everywhere i go
    maybe i should put a bucket over my head
    and a marshmellow in each ear
    and stumble around for
    another dumb-numb week for another hum drum hit song to appear

    people used to make records
    as in a record of an event
    the event of people playing music in a room
    now everything is cross-marketing
    its about sunglasses and shoes
    or guns and drugs
    you choose
    we got it rehashed
    we got it half-assed
    we're digging up all the graves
    and we're spitting on the past
    and you can choose between the colors
    of the lipstick on the whores
    cause we know the difference between
    the font of 20% more
    and the font of teriyaki
    you tell me
    how does it make you feel?

    you tell me
    what's real?
    and they say that alcoholics are always alcoholics
    even when they're as dry as my lips for years
    even when they're stranded on a small desert island
    with no place in 2,000 miles to buy beer
    and i wonder
    is he different?
    is he different?
    has he changed what's he about?...
    or is he just a liar with nothing to lie about?

    am i headed for the same brick wall
    is there anything i can do about
    anything at all?
    except go back to that corner in manhattan
    and dig deeper, dig deeper this time
    down beneath the impossible pain of our history
    beneath unknown bones
    beneath the bedrock of the mystery
    beneath the sewage systems and the path train
    beneath the cobblestones and the water mains
    beneath the traffic of friendships and street deals
    beneath the screeching of kamikaze cab wheels
    beneath everything i can think of to think about
    beneath it all, beneath all get out
    beneath the good and the kind and the stupid and the cruel
    there's a fire just waiting for fuel

    there's a fire just waiting for fuel
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

  • "War Of Man"

    The little creatures
    run in from the cold
    Back to the nest
    just like the days of old
    There in the safety
    of a mother's arms
    The warmth of ages,
    far away from harm again.

    Ears ringin'
    from the battle fire
    The tired warrior
    aims a little higher
    The black falcon
    or the little sparrow
    The healing light
    or the flash of the barrel.

    No one wins
    It's a war of man,
    No one wins
    It's a war of man.

    Silver mane flyin' in the wind
    Down through the planets
    on the run again
    No one knows where
    they're runnin' to
    But every kind is comin'
    two by two.

    Out on the delta
    where the hoofbeats pound
    The daddy's runnin'
    on the frozen ground
    Can't smell the poison
    as it follows him
    Can't see the gas and machines,
    it's a war of man.

    No one wins
    It's a war of man,
    No one wins
    It's a war of man.

    The windows open
    and the little girl dreams
    The sky's her playground
    as she mounts her steed
    Across the heavens
    to the other side
    On wings of magic
    does the little girl ride.

    The baby creatures
    run in from the cold
    Back to the nest
    just like the days of old
    There in the safety
    of a mother's arms
    The warmth of ages,
    far away from harm again.

    No one wins
    It's a war of man,
    No one wins
    It's a war of man,
    No one wins.

  • Everybody Knows
    by Leonard Cohen

    Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
    Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
    Everybody knows that the war is over
    Everybody knows the good guys lost
    Everybody knows the fight was fixed
    The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
    That's how it goes
    Everybody knows

    Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
    Everybody knows that the captain lied
    Everybody got this broken feeling
    Like their father or their dog just died

    Everybody talking to their pockets
    Everybody wants a box of chocolates
    And a long stem rose
    Everybody knows

    Everybody knows that you love me baby
    Everybody knows that you really do
    Everybody knows that you've been faithful
    Ah give or take a night or two
    Everybody knows you've been discreet
    But there were so many people you just had to meet
    Without your clothes
    And everybody knows

    Everybody knows, everybody knows
    That's how it goes
    Everybody knows

    Everybody knows, everybody knows
    That's how it goes
    Everybody knows

    And everybody knows that it's now or never
    Everybody knows that it's me or you
    And everybody knows that you live forever
    Ah when you've done a line or two
    Everybody knows the deal is rotten
    Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
    For your ribbons and bows
    And everybody knows

    And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
    Everybody knows that it's moving fast
    Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
    Are just a shining artifact of the past
    Everybody knows the scene is dead
    But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
    That will disclose
    What everybody knows

    And everybody knows that you're in trouble
    Everybody knows what you've been through
    From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
    To the beach of Malibu
    Everybody knows it's coming apart
    Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
    Before it blows
    And everybody knows

    Everybody knows, everybody knows
    That's how it goes
    Everybody knows

    Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
    That's how it goes
    Everybody knows

    Everybody knows

  • I am the Wal-Mart
    by Anonymous

    "I am the Walrus" is the tune for this one.

    In BC, as you will see, our company can build
    a store wherever
    See how we grow like a tumor on your soul
    See how we bribe, and lyin'

    Mega-store mania, comin' down like a urine shower
    Southern Asian sweatshops, crooked bloody slavers
    Man, you better run and hide we're comin' to your town
    I am the pig man, I am too big man
    I am the Wal-Mart, poo poo on you

    Under-sellers, crushing Zellers, don't you think us
    Fellers laugh at you (hoo hoo hoo, hee hee hee, ha ha ha)
    See how we spread like lice on your head
    See how we slime, and lyin'

    Welcome to America, we are buyin' up your backyard
    Crawlin' like a virus, you can try and stop us, but
    Man, we've got your local council in our sweaty palm
    We are the pig-men, greedy and big men
    We are the Wal-Mart, poo poo on you

    Sitting on a pile of money always opens the door
    Stick around and watch us suck 'em in and
    Annihilate your downtown core
    I am the pig man, too fucking big man
    I am the Wal-Mart poo poo on you

  • Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee
    by Buffy Sainte Marie

    INTRO:
    Indian legislation on the desk of a do-right Congressman
    Now, he don't know much about the issue
    so he picks up the phone and he asks advice from the
    Senator out in Indian country
    A darling of the energy companies who are
    ripping off what’s left of the reservations. Huh.

    I learned a safety rule
    I don’t know who to thank
    Don't stand between the reservation
    and the corporate bank
    They send in federal tanks
    It isn’t nice but it’s reality

    (chorus:)
    Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
    Deep in the Earth
    Cover me with pretty lies
    bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh.

    They got these energy companies that want the land
    and they’ve got churches by the dozen
    who want to guide our hands
    and sign Mother Earth over to pollution, war and greed
    Get rich... get rich quick.

    chorus...

    We got the federal marshals
    We got the covert spies
    We got the liars by the fire
    We got the FBIs
    They lie in court and get nailed
    and still Peltier goes off to jail

    chorus...

    My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium
    Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped
    The FBI cut off her hands and told us she’d died of exposure
    Loo loo loo loo loo

    chorus...

    We had the Goldrush Wars
    Aw, didn’t we learn to crawl and still our history gets
    written in a liar’s scrawl
    They tell ‘ya "Honey, you can still be an Indian
    d-d-down at the ‘Y’
    on Saturday nights"

    Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
    Deep in the Earth
    Cover me with pretty lies
    Bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh

  • Come you masters of war, you that build all the guns
    You that build the death place, you that build all the guns
    You that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks
    I just want you to know, I can see through your masks

    You that never done nothing, but to build and destroy
    You play with my world, like it's your little toy
    You put a gun in my hand, then you hide from my eyes
    And you turn and run farther as the fast bullets fly

    Like judas of old, you lie and deceive
    A world war can be won, and you want me to believe
    But I see through your eyes, and I see through your brain
    Like I see through the water that runs down my drain

    You that fasten all the triggers, for the others to fire
    Then you sit back and watch, while the death count gets higher
    You hide in your mansion, while young people's blood
    Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud

    You've thrown the worst fear, that could ever be hurled
    The fear to bring children, into this world
    For threatenin' my baby, unborn and unnamed
    You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins

    How much do I know, to talk out of turn?
    You might say that I'm young, you might say I'm unlearned
    But there's one thing I know, though I'm younger than you
    Even Jesus would never forgive what you do

    Let me ask you one question, is your money that good?
    Will it buy you forgiveness? do you think that it could?
    Oh, I think you will find, when your death takes its toll
    All the money you made will never buy back your soul

    And I hope that you die, and your death will come soon
    I'll follow your casket, in the pale afternoon
    And I'll watch as your lowered, into your deathbed
    And I'll stand on your grave till I'm sure that your dead

  • Whats wrong wit the world mama?
    People livin like they aint got no mama.
    I think the whole world addicted to the drama,
    Only attracted to the things thatll bring ya trauma.
    Overseas ya we tryin to stop terrisom,
    But we still got terrists here livin in th USA, the big CIA
    The Bloods and the Kripts and the KKK.
    But if ya only have love for your own race,
    Then ya only leave space to discrminate
    And to discriminate only generates hate,
    And when you hate your bound to get irate yea.
    Madness is what you demonstrate,
    And thats exactly how anger works and operates
    Man you gotta have love just to set it straight.
    Take control of your mind and meditate,
    Let your soul gravitate to the love yall yall

    (Justin Timberlake)
    People killin people diein,
    Children hurt and ya hear them cryin,
    Can you practice what you preach?
    And dont you turn the other cheek

    Father Father Father help us,
    Send some guidance from above,
    Cuz people got me got me questionin'

    Where is the love?(love, the love)
    Where is the love? (the love)
    Where is the love ?(the love)
    Where is the love the love the love?

    It just aint the same, always new change
    New days are strange, is the world insane?
    If love and peace is so stronge,
    Why are there pieces if love that dont belong?
    Nations droppin bombs chemical gases fillin lungs of lil ones
    With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young.
    So ask yourself is the lovin really gone?
    So i could ask myself really what is goin wrong
    In this world that we livin in,people keep on givin in
    Makin wrong decisions only visions of the vivid ends.
    Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
    A war is goin on but the reason is under cover,
    The truth is kept secret, its swept under the rug,
    If you never know truth then you never know love.
    Where's the love yall?cmon(I don' know)
    Where's the truth yall?cmon(I don' know)
    Where's the love yall?

    People killin, people diein,
    Children hurt and ya hear them cryin
    Can you practice what you preach?
    And dont you turn the other cheek.

    Where is the love? (the love)
    Where is the love? (the love)
    Where is the love the love the love?

    I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder,
    As Im gettin' older yall people gets colder.
    Most of us only care about money makin
    Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
    Wrong information alwayz shown by the media
    Negative images is the main criteria.
    Infectin the young minds faster than bacteria
    Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema.
    Yo, whatever happened to the values of humanity?
    Whatever happened to the fairness in equality?
    Instead in spreadin love we spreadin' animosity,
    Lack of understandin leading lives away from unity,
    Thats the reason why sometimes im feelin' under,
    Thats the reason why somtines im feelin' down,
    Theres no wonder why somtimes im feelin' under
    Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found!

    People killin people diein,
    Children hurt and ya hear them cryin.
    Can you practice what you preach?
    And dont you turn the other cheek.

    Father Father Father help us

    The eastern world it is explodin',
    violence flarin', bullets loadin',
    you're old enough to kill but not for votin',
    you don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin',
    and even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',
    but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
    ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

    Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
    Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today?
    If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
    There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave,
    take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
    but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
    ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

    Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin',
    I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',
    I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,
    handful of Senators don't pass legislation,
    and marches alone can't bring integration,
    when human respect is disintegratin',
    this whole crazy world is just too frustratin',
    and you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
    ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

    Think of all the hate there is in Red China!
    Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
    Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
    but when your return, it's the same old place,
    the poundin' of the drums, th pride and disgrace,
    you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
    hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace,
    and you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
    ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Peace and love
    Flying so high
    Peace and love
    Too young to die
    Peace and love
    Now you decide
    Stay for the children
    You don't really want to go
    Can't feel it pulling like you did
    Peace and love

    Peace and love
    Only a ride
    Strength is gone
    Dying inside
    Tell me now
    What did you find
    Found love in the people
    Livin' in a sacred land
    Found love in the people
    Peace and love

    [Vedder:]
    Found love (found ...?)
    Saw my mistake
    Broke walls of pain to walk again
    I saw the dream
    I saw the wake
    We shared it all
    But not the take

    Peace and love
    Lennon's goodbye
    Over Now
    Living in time
    A broken bell
    A nursery rhyme
    Deserted by heroes
    Strangers in your own land
    No way to deny you
    No way to deny you
    Peace and love

    [Vedder:]
    I took it all
    I took the oath
    I took it all
    Til I had most
    I took what's left
    I gave it breath
    I had it all once
    I gave it back

    Teddy Roosevelt's Guns by A Silver Mt Zion

    Canada oh canada i never been your son
    You're a genteel rent boy
    Choking on your tongue
    And your bankers' vain plazas never nurtured no-one

    And concrete expanses laying fallow in the sun
    And your cities all collapsing while your corrupt mayors shrug

    And your grown-ups all gone bankrupt and your children all on drugs
    And your children are on drugs
    And your doe-eyed policemen demanding more guns
    And your distained farmers waiting on the flood

    Canada oh canada i ain't ever been your kin
    Overfed and easily led and twisting in the wind
    Your senators all in diapers and stinking of gin

    Shop and save
    Beneath the western sun
    Bought and paid for
    Teddy roosevelt's guns

    God Bless Our Dead Marines by A Silver Mt Zion

    They put angels in the electric chair
    Straight-up angels in the electric chair

    And no-one knew or no-one cared
    But burning stars lit up their hair
    And burning stars lit up their hair
    And crawled to heaven on golden stairs

    And oh! How we to and fro! To and fro! To and fro!

    This is our torched estates
    (and we are your sweet mistakes)

    And all them vulgar kings on their dirty thrones
    Who among us will avenge miss nina simone?

    There's fresh meat in the club tonight
    God bless our dead marines

    Someone had an accident
    Above the burning trees
    While somewhere distant peacefully
    Our vulgar princes sleep
    Dead kids dont get photographed
    God bless our dead marines

    The hungry and the hanged
    The damaged and the done
    Striving 'long this spinning rock
    Tumbling past the sun
    Get through this life without killing anyone
    And consider yourself golden

    Lost a friend to cocaine
    Couple friends to smack
    Troubled hearts map deserts
    And they rarely do come back
    Lost a friend to oceans
    Lost a friend to hills
    Lost a friend to suicide
    Lost a friend to pills
    Lost a friend to monsters
    Lost a friend to shame
    Lost a friend to marriage
    Lost a friend to blame
    Lost a friend to worry and
    Lost a friend to wealth
    Lost a friend to stubborn pride
    And then i lost myself

    I love my dog and she loves me
    The world's a mess and so are we
    She tumbles long green muddy fields
    Sick with joy and glee
    And as she dreams sweet puppy dreams
    Whimpering gently

    There's fresh meat in the club tonight
    God bless our dead marines
    Someone had an accident
    Above the burning trees
    While somewhere distant peacefully
    Our vulgar princes sleep
    Dead kids dont get photographed
    God bless this century

    When the world is sick can't no one be well
    But i dreamt we was all beautiful and strong
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    You can fool some people sometimes
    But you can't fool all the people all the time
    So now we see the light
    We gonna stand up for our right

    So you'd better get up, stand up, stand up for your right
    Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight

    Dandelions In Bullet Holes - Sarah Harmer

    Kaleidoscope,
    Wheel of hope.
    Place to start out from,
    Although it started long ago,
    The world's work has begun.

    A hula hope,
    A human chain.
    To warm our hands,
    And find our way,
    When all the lights go out.
    A raincoat and a French beret.
    The rolling hills of past mistakes,
    Like quiet under cloud.
    And I will long look to the chruning sea,
    This call to arms means wrap them,
    Around the first person you see.

    Dandelions in bullet holes,
    We stand in our civilian clothes,
    On blankets laid out on a lawn,
    Clouds of rain will all move on.
    And when the mist clears we will see,
    Both of our names on a marquee,
    Across the ocean the same day,
    And then washed ashore a block away.

    The windwill is waiting for the same thing,
    As the slackened sail,
    As the core withing like the wind,
    Is blowing at the veil.
    And I will long go on this inner sight,
    This call to arms means hold to it,
    And hold tight.

    Dandelions in bullet holes,
    We stand in our civilian clothes,
    On blankets laid out on a lawn,
    Clouds of rain will all move on.
    And when the mist clears we will see,
    Both of our names on a marquee,
    Across the ocean the same day,
    And then washed ashore a block away.
    Ah come on, these streams of light are not so subtle,
    All along the ditch signs of like in sinking puddles.

    Dandelions in bullet holes,
    We stand in our civilian clothes,
    On blankets laid out on a lawn,
    Clouds of rain will all move on.
    And when the mist clears we will see,
    All of our names on a marquee,
    Across the ocean the same day,
    And then washed ashore a block away.

    "Millennium Theater"

    Millennium theater
    Get out there and buy that water and gas
    Ramadan orange alert
    Everybody put on your gas mask

    First leak it out about the president
    Then stand up and shout "impeachment"
    Pulling coat tails out from under that little V.P.
    Before he has a chance to get in the driver's seat

    Millennium spectacle
    Everybody put on a show
    Slip a little prince in the back door
    21st century here we go

    Digital whiplash
    So many formats so little time
    While out in TV nation
    Under darkening skies
    The resistance is just waiting
    To be organized

    Millennium theater
    Chief justice is for sale
    Yucca mountain goddesses
    Their tears they form a trail

    Trickle down Israel
    Patriarchies realign
    The ice caps melt
    And New Orleans bides her time
    New Orleans bides her time

    Ladies and gentlemen
    Welcome to tonight's show
    The millennium theater
    Asks that you not smoke
    Please turn off your cell phones
    And forget what you think you know

    All this time we're talking and sharing our rational views
    While a billion other voices are spreading other news
    All this time we're living and trying to understand
    While a billion other choices are making their demands

    Talk of a peaceable kingdom
    Talk of a time without fear
    The ones we wish would listen
    Are never going to hear

    ...

    All this time we're shuffling and laying out all our cards
    While a billion other dealers are slipping past our guards
    All this time we're hoping and praying we all might learn
    While a billion other teachers are teaching them how to burn

    Dream of a peaceable kingdom
    Dream of a time without war
    The ones we wish would hear us
    Have heard it all before

    ...

    All this time we're burning like bonfires in the dark
    A billion other blazes are shooting off their sparks
    Every spark a drifting ember of desire
    To fall upon the earth and spark another fire

  • Mad World-Gary Jules

    All around me are familiar faces
    Worn out places
    Worn out faces
    Bright and early for the daily races
    Going no where
    Going no where
    Their tears are filling up their glasses
    No expression
    No expression
    Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
    No tomorrow
    No tomorrow
    And I find I kind of funny
    I find it kind of sad
    The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
    I find it hard to tell you
    I find it hard to take
    When people run in circles its a very very
    Mad world
    Mad world
    Children waiting for the day they feel good
    Happy birthday
    Happy birthday
    And I feel the way that every child should
    Sit and listen
    Sit and listen
    Went to school and I was very nervous
    No one knew me
    No one new me
    Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
    Look right through me
    Look right through me
    And I find I kind of funny
    I find it kind of sad
    The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
    I find it hard to tell you
    I find it hard to take
    When people run in circles its a very very
    Mad world
    Mad world
    Enlarging your world
    Mad world
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

    Skipping - Vedder

    I didn't have to ask you, just took my hand
    Off we went skipping throughout the land
    The sky was blue and the blood filled my head
    Me and you skipping throughout the land

    All of my life from beginning to end
    What I remember is holding your hand
    And all that I'll cherish is that time that we've spent
    Me and you skipping throughout the land

    All the loves lost and the one that I found
    You lifted my gaze up off of the ground
    Forever we'll talk and forever we'll drown
    In each other skipping around

    Gravity pulls so many men down
    The atmosphere breathes but not in this town
    You took me away and you held me so proud
    Skipping, skipping, skipping around
