    War, huh yeah
    What is it good for?
    Absolutely nothing, oh hoh, oh
    War huh yeah
    What is it good for?
    Absolutely nothing, say it again y'all
    War, huh good God
    What is it good for?
    Absolutely nothing, listen to me

    Oh, war, I despise
    'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
    War means tears to thousands of mothers eyes
    When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives

    I said
    War, huh good God y'all
    What is it good for?
    Absolutely nothing, just say it again
    War whoa Lord
    What is it good for?
    Absolutely nothing, listen to me
    War, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreak
    War, friend only to the undertaker

    Oh war, is an enemy to all mankind
    The thought of war blows my mind
    War has caused unrest within the younger generation
    Induction, then destruction who wants to die

    War, good God, y'all
    What is it good for?
    Absolutely nothing, say it, say it, say it
    War, uh huh, yeah, huh
    What is it good for?
    Absolutely nothing, listen to me
    War, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
    War, it's got one friend that's the undertaker

    Oh, war has shattered many young man's dreams
    Made him disabled bitter and mean
    Life is much too short and precious to spend fighting wars these days
    War can't give life it can only take it away, ooh

    War, huh, good God y'all
    What is it good for?
    Absolutely nothing, say it again
    War, whoa, Lord
    What is it good for?
    Absolutely nothing, listen to me
    War, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
    War, friend only to the undertaker

    Peace love and understanding tell me
    Is there no place for them today
    They say we must fight to keep our freedom
    But Lord knows there's got to be a better way

    War, huh, good God y'all
    What is it good for?
    You tell 'em, say it, say it, say it, say it
    War, good Lord, huh
    What is it good for?
    Stand up and shout it, nothing
    War, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker

    I sit at my table and wage war on myself
    It seems like it's all, it's all for nothing
    I know the barricades
    And I know the mortar in the wall breaks
    I recognise the weapons, I've used them well

    This is my mistake
    Let me make it good
    I raised the wall
    And I will be the one to knock it down

    I've a rich understanding of my finest defences
    I proclaim that claims are left unstated
    I demand a rematch
    I decree a stalemate
    I divine my deeper motives

    I recognise the weapons
    I've practised them well
    I fitted them myself

    It's amazing what devices you can sympathize, empathize
    This is my mistake. Let me make it good
    I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down

    Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory
    Let my machine talk to me, let my machine talk to me

    This is my world
    And I am world leader pretend
    This is my life
    And this is my time
    I have been given the freedom
    To do as I see fit
    It's high time I've raised the walls
    That I've constructed

    (repeat chorus)

    You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony
    You fill in the mortar. I raised the wall
    And I'm the only one
    I will be the one to knock it down

    ~REM - World Leader Pretend

    It's the glare from the reflection
    Making patterns in your eyes
    It's the looking back in anger
    With every second slipping by
    Undertow has come to take me
    Got it by the blazing sun
    Look at everything around us
    And look at everything we've done

    Please, anyone
    I don't think I can save myself
    I'm drowning here

    There's a tiny little window
    Swarms of locust fill the sky
    Maybe I just disappear
    If I can keep my head above the tide

    Please, anyone
    I don't think I can save myself
    I'm drowning here

    You're the Conversation, I'm the Game
    Photographs paint mistakes in your suitcase
    So listen, Conversation, I've lost the way.
    I want to be the fool in your suitcase.

    Soldier, shine on, with your conscience open
    and the curtain falls in with the drums..
    Soldier, come on, when the final chord plays
    and the chorus comes...

    You're the Conversation, I'm the Game

    You take my confidence from sane to brave
    Make me strong, push me on and take a chance
    Learn to jump the waves.
    So question's are we playing?..is your card an ace?
    Am I the joker in your hand or a friend on a bad day?

    More than speaking, more than thinking,
    silently you're on my side
    No disguise, no hide-and-seeking
    Mouth to mouth you saved my life.

    Soldier, shine on, with your conscience open
    and the curtain falls in with the drums..
    Soldier, come on, when the final chord plays
    and the chorus comes...

    You're the Conversation, I'm the Game
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

    Ohh, can't anybody see
    We've got a war to fight
    Never found our way
    Regardless of what they say

    How can it feel, this wrong
    From this moment
    How can it feel, this wrong

    Storm.. in the morning light
    I feel
    No more can I say
    Frozen to myself

    I got nobody on my side
    And surely that ain't right
    And surely that ain't right

    Ohh, can't anybody see
    We've got a war to fight
    Never found our way
    Regardless of what they say

    How can it feel, this wrong
    From this moment
    How can it feel, this wrong

    [INSTRUMENTAL]

    How can it feel, this wrong
    This moment
    How can it feel, this wrong

    Ohh, can't anybody see
    We've got a war to fight
    Never found our way
    Regardless of what they say

    How can it feel, this wrong
    From this moment
    How can it feel, this wrong

    What do you mean, "I don't believe in God"?
    I talk to him every day.
    What do you mean, "I don't support your system"?
    I go to court when I have to.
    What do you mean, "I can't get to work on time"?
    I got nothing better to do
    And, what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills"?
    Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?

    there's a light when my baby's in my arms
    there's a light when the window shades are drawn
    hesitate when i feel i may do harm to her
    wash it off cuz this feeling we can share
    and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
    byzantine is reflected in our pond
    there's a cloud but the water remains calm
    reaching in, the sun's fingers clutch the dawn to pass
    even out, it's a precious thing to bear
    and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
    yes i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
    it's not in my past to presume
    love can keep on moving in both directions
    how to be happy and true is the quest we're taking on together
    taking on, on, on, on, on...taking on, on, on, on, on...
    there's a light when my baby's in my arms
    and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
    and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
    and i know she's reached my heart, in thin air
    yes i know she's reached my heart...

    I'm easy come and easy go
    Now you're not so carefree
    You found the thorn behind the rose
    You took it, oh, so badly

    Lost inside yourself
    You gotta break out soon
    You gotta try again
    To hear a brand new tune, oh yeah

    Once easy come and easy go
    You just hear sad notes lately
    You used to fly and chase the wind
    I don't know you lately

    Don't take it, oh, so bad
    Things are gonna change
    Don't make it, oh, so sad
    The sun will shine again, oh, yeah

    Please don't lock me out
    What's it all about?
    I'll change it all completely
    Won't you let me in?
    Don't you need a friend?
    If I can help just call me

    I'm easy come and easy go
    Don't paint it all so sadly
    Before you know the light will shine
    Don't burn out completely

    Locked inside yourself
    You gotta break out soon
    Come and try again
    And hear a different tune, oh, yeah

    Your fingertips across my skin
    The palm trees swaying in the wind
    Images

    You sang me Spanish lullabies
    The sweetest sadness in your eyes
    Clever trick

    I never want to see you unhappy
    I thought you'd want the same for me

    Goodbye, my almost lover
    Goodbye, my hopeless dream
    I'm trying not to think about you
    Can't you just let me be?
    So long, my luckless romance
    My back is turned on you
    I should've known you'd bring me heartache
    Almost lovers always do

    We walked along a crowded street
    You took my hand and danced with me
    Images

    And when you left you kissed my lips
    You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no

    I never want to see you unhappy
    I thought you'd want the same for me

    Goodbye, my almost lover
    Goodbye, my hopeless dream
    I'm trying not to think about you
    Can't you just let me be?
    So long, my luckless romance
    My back is turned on you
    I should've known you'd bring me heartache
    Almost lovers always do

    I cannot go to the ocean
    I cannot drive the streets at night
    I cannot wake up in the morning
    Without you on my mind
    So you're gone and I'm haunted
    And I bet you are just fine
    Did I make it that easy
    To walk right in and out of my life?

    Goodbye, my almost lover
    Goodbye, my hopeless dream
    I'm trying not to think about you
    Can't you just let me be?
    So long, my luckless romance
    My back is turned on you
    I should've known you'd bring me heartache
    Almost lovers always do

    Take the makeup off your eyes
    I've got to see you, hear your sacred sighs
    Before the break up, comes the silence
    I'm talking to you. You say you're over it,
    But I know

    I thought I knew you. You thought you knew me
    But now that you do, it's not so easy now
    That I know

    You can cry; I won't go. You can scream; I won't go
    Every man that you know would have run at the word go
    Little boys with their porno, oh, I know they hurt you so
    They don't know what we know. Never know what we know

    And all your makeup, just take it all off
    I've got to find you before the line is lost
    I know I hurt you, I won't deny it
    When I reach for you, you say, "I'm over it."
    But I know

    You can cry; I won't go. You can scream; I won't go
    Every man that you know would have run at the word go
    Little boys with their porno, oh, I know they hurt you so
    They don't know what I know. It's so little that we know
    But the cup it overflows. Little boys with their porno
    This is their world, where can we go?

    Makes me feel like something's wrong with me
    Makes me feel like something's wrong with me
    Can you see me?

    You can cry; I won't go. You can scream; I won't go
    Little boys with their porno. Little boys with their porno
    Makes me feel like something's wrong. It's the only world we know
    Yeah, something's wrong. Little boys with their porno

    And boys they learn some selfish shit until the girl won't put up with it
    On and on and on we go. I just have to know. I'm not over it
    I'm not over it

    So love is real like a disease.
    Come on tell me please,
    I'm not over it
    I'm not over it

    White Bird
    In a golden cage
    On a winter's day
    In the rain
    White bird
    In a golden cage
    Alone

    The leaves blow
    Cross the long black road
    To the darkened skies
    In its rage
    But the white bird
    Just sits in her cage
    Unknown.

    White bird must fly
    Or she will die

    White bird
    Dreams of the aspen tree
    With their dying leaves
    Turning gold
    But the white bird
    Just sits in her cage
    Growing old.

    White bird must fly
    Or she will die
    White bird must fly
    Or she will die

    The sunsets come
    The sunsets go
    The clouds Float by
    And The Earth Turns slow
    And the Young Birds Eyes
    Do always Glow
    And She must fly
    She must fly
    She must fly

    White bird
    In a golden cage
    On a winter's day
    In the rain
    White bird
    In a golden cage
    Alone

    White bird must fly
    Or she will die
    White bird must fly
    Or she will die
    White bird must fly
    Or she will die
    White bird must fly

    I've been listening to this song in my head since I watched Ed's video the other day. It's just the right mood for me today.

    Blue, Red, & Grey

    Some people seem so obsessed with the morning
    Get up early just to see the sun rise
    Some people like it more when there's fire in the sky
    Worship the sun when it's high
    Some people go for those sultry evenings
    Sipping cocktails in the blue, red and grey

    But I like every minute of the day

    I like every second, so long as you are on my mind
    Every moment has its special charm
    It's alright when you're around, rain or shine

    I know a crowd who only live after midnight
    Their faces always seem so pale
    And then there's friends of mine who must have sunlight
    They say a suntan never fails
    I know a man who works the night shift
    He's lucky to get a job and some pay

    And I like every minute of the day

    I dig every second
    I can laugh in the snow and rain
    I get a buzz from being cold and wet
    The pleasure seems to balance out the pain

    And so you see that I'm completely crazy
    I even shun the south of France
    The people on the hill, they say I'm lazy
    But when they sleep, I sing and dance
    Some people have to have the sutlry evenings
    Cocktails in the blue, red and grey

    But I like every minute of the day

    I like every minute of the day

    Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine
    Meltin' in a pot of thieves
    Wild card up my sleeve
    Thick heart of stone
    My sins my own
    They belong to me, me

    People say "beware!"
    But I don't care
    The words are just
    Rules and regulations to me, me

    I-I walk in a room, you know I look so proud
    I'm movin' in this here atmosphere, well, anything's allowed
    And I go to this here party and I just get bored
    Until I look out the window, see a sweet young thing
    Humpin' on the parking meter, leanin' on the parking meter
    Oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
    And I got this crazy feeling and then I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine
    Ooh I'll put my spell on her

    Here she comes
    Walkin' down the street
    Here she comes
    Comin' through my door
    Here she comes
    Crawlin' up my stair
    Here she comes
    Waltzin' through the hall
    In a pretty red dress
    And oh, she looks so good, oh, she looks so fine
    And I got this crazy feeling that I'm gonna ah-ah make her mine

    And then I hear this knockin' on my door
    Hear this knockin' on my door
    And I look up into the big tower clock
    And say, "oh my God here's midnight!"
    And my baby is walkin' through the door
    Leanin' on my couch she whispers to me and I take the big plunge
    And oh, she was so good and oh, she was so fine
    And I'm gonna tell the world that I just ah-ah made her mine

    And I said darling, tell me your name, she told me her name
    She whispered to me, she told me her name
    And her name is, and her name is, and her name is, and her name is G-L-O-R-I-A
    G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria
    G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria

    I was at the stadium
    There were twenty thousand girls called their names out to me
    Marie and Ruth but to tell you the truth
    I didn't hear them I didn't see
    I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock
    And I heard those bells chimin' in my heart
    Going ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong.
    Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong
    Counting the time, then you came to my room
    And you whispered to me and we took the big plunge
    And oh. you were so good, oh, you were so fine
    And I gotta tell the world that I make her mine make her mine
    Make her mine make her mine make her mine make her mine

    G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria,
    G-L-O-R-I-A Gloria

    And the tower bells chime, "ding dong" they chime
    They're singing, "Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine."
