    You say the hill's too steep to climb
    Climb it.
    You say you'd like to see me try
    Climbing.

    You pick the place and I'll choose the time
    And I'll climb
    That hill in my own way.
    Just wait a while for the right day.
    And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
    I look down, hearing the sound of the things you've said today.

    Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
    Smiling.
    Merciless the magistrate turns 'round
    Frowning.

    And who's the fool who wears the crown?
    And go down,
    in your own way
    And every day is the right day
    And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
    You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd.

    (And for those who know this song well... here are the lyrics to "You'll Never Walk Alone" which is the Liverpool F.C. football (soccer) song you hear sung at the beginnig and end of this great Pink Floyd song:

    When you walk through a storm

    hold your head up high

    And don't be afraid of the dark.

    At the end of a storm is a golden sky

    And the sweet silver song of a lark.

    Walk on through the wind,

    Walk on through the rain,

    Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.

    Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

    And you'll never walk alone,

    You'll never, ever walk alone.

    Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

    And you'll never walk alone,

    You'll never, ever walk alone. )

    Verse Chorus Verse ~ Nirvana (the band that taught me to play guitar)

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=Hps1T1-c6Q4

    Neither side is sacred
    No one wants to win
    Feeling so sedated
    Think I'll just give in
    Taking medication
    Till my stomach's full
    Neither side is sacred
    Crawling in the hole

    The grass is greener
    Over here
    You're the fog that
    Keeps it clear
    Re-inventing
    What we knew
    Taken time is
    All but true
    You're the reason
    I feel pain
    Feels so good to
    Feel again

    Neither side is sacred
    No one wants to win
    Feeling so sedated
    But I can't give in
    Taking medication
    Till my stomach's full
    Feelin' so sedated
    When I'm in my home

    The grass is greener
    Over here
    You're the fog that
    Keeps it clear
    Re-inventing
    What we knew
    Taken time is
    Weird but true
    You're the reason
    I feel pain
    Feels so good to
    Feel again

    Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh

    Neither side is sacred
    No one wants to win
    Feeling so sedated
    May I just give in
    Taking medication
    Till my stomach's full
    Feelin' so sedated
    When I'm in my home

    The grass is greener
    Over here
    You're the fog that
    Keeps it clear
    Re-inventing
    What we knew
    Taken time is
    Weird but true
    You're the reason
    I feel pain
    Feels so good to
    Feel again

    Ohhhhhh
    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

    I've got a soul
    That can not sleep
    At night when something
    Just ain't right
    Blood red
    But without sight
    Exploding egos
    In the night
    Mix like sticks
    Of dynamite
    Red black or white
    This is my fight
    Come on courage
    Let's be heard
    Turn feelings
    Into words
    American equality
    Has always been sour
    An attitude
    I would like to devour
    My name is peace
    This is my hour
    Can I get
    Just a little bit of power

    [Chorus]
    The power of equality
    Is not yet what it ought to be
    It fills me up like a hollow tree
    The power of equality

    Right or wrong
    My song is strong
    You don't like it
    Get along
    Say what I want
    Do what I can
    Death to the message
    Of the Ku Klux Klan
    I don't buy supremacy
    Media chief
    You menance me
    The people you say
    Cause all the crime
    Wake up motherfucker
    And smell the slime
    Blackest anger
    Whitest fear
    Can you hear me
    Am I clear
    My name is peace
    This is my hour
    Can I get
    Just a little bit of power

    [Chorus]

    I've got tapes
    I've got c.d.'s
    I've got my Public Enemy
    My lilly white ass
    Is tickled pink
    When I listen to the music
    That makes me think
    Not another
    Motherfuckin' politician
    Doin' nothin' but something
    For his own ambition
    Never touch
    The sound we make
    Soul sacred love
    Vows that we take
    To create straight
    What is true
    Yo he's with me
    And what I do
    My name is peace
    This is my hour
    Can I get
    Just a little bit of power

    [Chorus]

    Madder than a motherfucker
    Lick my finger
    Can't forget
    'Cause the memory lingers
    Count 'em off quick
    Little piccadilly sickness
    Take me to the hick
    Eat my thickness
    I've got a welt
    From the Bible belt
    Dealing with the hand
    That I've been dealt
    Sitting in the grip
    Of a killing fist
    Giving up blood
    Just to exist
    Rub me wrong
    And I get pissed
    No I can not
    Get to this
    People in pain
    I do not dig it
    Change of brain
    For Mr. Bigot
    Little brother do you hear me
    Have a heart oh come get near me
    Misery is not my friend
    But I'll break before I bend
    What I see is insanity
    Whatever happened to humanity

    Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie
    Bob Dylan

    When yer head gets twisted and yer mind grows numb
    When you think you're too old, too young, too smart or too dumb
    When yer laggin' behind an' losin' yer pace
    In a slow-motion crawl of life's busy race
    No matter what yer doing if you start givin' up
    If the wine don't come to the top of yer cup
    If the wind's got you sideways with with one hand holdin' on
    And the other starts slipping and the feeling is gone
    And yer train engine fire needs a new spark to catch it
    And the wood's easy findin' but yer lazy to fetch it
    And yer sidewalk starts curlin' and the street gets too long
    And you start walkin' backwards though you know its wrong
    And lonesome comes up as down goes the day
    And tomorrow's mornin' seems so far away
    And you feel the reins from yer pony are slippin'
    And yer rope is a-slidin' 'cause yer hands are a-drippin'
    And yer sun-decked desert and evergreen valleys
    Turn to broken down slums and trash-can alleys
    And yer sky cries water and yer drain pipe's a-pourin'
    And the lightnin's a-flashing and the thunder's a-crashin'
    And the windows are rattlin' and breakin' and the roof tops a-shakin'
    And yer whole world's a-slammin' and bangin'
    And yer minutes of sun turn to hours of storm
    And to yourself you sometimes say
    "I never knew it was gonna be this way
    Why didn't they tell me the day I was born"
    And you start gettin' chills and yer jumping from sweat
    And you're lookin' for somethin' you ain't quite found yet
    And yer knee-deep in the dark water with yer hands in the air
    And the whole world's a-watchin' with a window peek stare
    And yer good gal leaves and she's long gone a-flying
    And yer heart feels sick like fish when they're fryin'
    And yer jackhammer falls from yer hand to yer feet
    And you need it badly but it lays on the street
    And yer bell's bangin' loudly but you can't hear its beat
    And you think yer ears might a been hurt
    Or yer eyes've turned filthy from the sight-blindin' dirt
    And you figured you failed in yesterdays rush
    When you were faked out an' fooled while facing a four flush
    And all the time you were holdin' three queens
    And it's makin you mad, it's makin' you mean
    Like in the middle of Life magazine
    Bouncin' around a pinball machine
    And there's something on yer mind you wanna be saying
    That somebody someplace oughta be hearin'
    But it's trapped on yer tongue and sealed in yer head
    And it bothers you badly when your layin' in bed
    And no matter how you try you just can't say it
    And yer scared to yer soul you just might forget it
    And yer eyes get swimmy from the tears in yer head
    And yer pillows of feathers turn to blankets of lead
    And the lion's mouth opens and yer staring at his teeth
    And his jaws start closin with you underneath
    And yer flat on your belly with yer hands tied behind
    And you wish you'd never taken that last detour sign
    And you say to yourself just what am I doin'
    On this road I'm walkin', on this trail I'm turnin'
    On this curve I'm hanging
    On this pathway I'm strolling, in the space I'm taking
    In this air I'm inhaling
    Am I mixed up too much, am I mixed up too hard
    Why am I walking, where am I running
    What am I saying, what am I knowing
    On this guitar I'm playing, on this banjo I'm frailin'
    On this mandolin I'm strummin', in the song I'm singin'
    In the tune I'm hummin', in the words I'm writin'
    In the words that I'm thinkin'
    In this ocean of hours I'm all the time drinkin'
    Who am I helping, what am I breaking
    What am I giving, what am I taking
    But you try with your whole soul best
    Never to think these thoughts and never to let
    Them kind of thoughts gain ground
    Or make yer heart pound
    But then again you know why they're around
    Just waiting for a chance to slip and drop down
    "Cause sometimes you hear'em when the night times comes creeping
    And you fear that they might catch you a-sleeping
    And you jump from yer bed, from yer last chapter of dreamin'
    And you can't remember for the best of yer thinking
    If that was you in the dream that was screaming
    And you know that it's something special you're needin'
    And you know that there's no drug that'll do for the healin'
    And no liquor in the land to stop yer brain from bleeding
    And you need something special
    Yeah, you need something special all right
    You need a fast flyin' train on a tornado track
    To shoot you someplace and shoot you back
    You need a cyclone wind on a stream engine howler
    That's been banging and booming and blowing forever
    That knows yer troubles a hundred times over
    You need a Greyhound bus that don't bar no race
    That won't laugh at yer looks
    Your voice or your face
    And by any number of bets in the book
    Will be rollin' long after the bubblegum craze
    You need something to open up a new door
    To show you something you seen before
    But overlooked a hundred times or more
    You need something to open your eyes
    You need something to make it known
    That it's you and no one else that owns
    That spot that yer standing, that space that you're sitting
    That the world ain't got you beat
    That it ain't got you licked
    It can't get you crazy no matter how many
    Times you might get kicked
    You need something special all right
    You need something special to give you hope
    But hope's just a word
    That maybe you said or maybe you heard
    On some windy corner 'round a wide-angled curve

    But that's what you need man, and you need it bad
    And yer trouble is you know it too good
    "Cause you look an' you start getting the chills

    "Cause you can't find it on a dollar bill
    And it ain't on Macy's window sill
    And it ain't on no rich kid's road map
    And it ain't in no fat kid's fraternity house
    And it ain't made in no Hollywood wheat germ
    And it ain't on that dimlit stage
    With that half-wit comedian on it
    Ranting and raving and taking yer money
    And you thinks it's funny
    No you can't find it in no night club or no yacht club
    And it ain't in the seats of a supper club
    And sure as hell you're bound to tell
    That no matter how hard you rub
    You just ain't a-gonna find it on yer ticket stub
    No, and it ain't in the rumors people're tellin' you
    And it ain't in the pimple-lotion people are sellin' you
    And it ain't in no cardboard-box house
    Or down any movie star's blouse
    And you can't find it on the golf course
    And Uncle Remus can't tell you and neither can Santa Claus
    And it ain't in the cream puff hair-do or cotton candy clothes
    And it ain't in the dime store dummies or bubblegum goons
    And it ain't in the marshmallow noises of the chocolate cake voices
    That come knockin' and tappin' in Christmas wrappin'
    Sayin' ain't I pretty and ain't I cute and look at my skin
    Look at my skin shine, look at my skin glow
    Look at my skin laugh, look at my skin cry
    When you can't even sense if they got any insides
    These people so pretty in their ribbons and bows
    No you'll not now or no other day
    Find it on the doorsteps made out-a paper mache«
    And inside it the people made of molasses
    That every other day buy a new pair of sunglasses
    And it ain't in the fifty-star generals and flipped-out phonies
    Who'd turn yuh in for a tenth of a penny
    Who breathe and burp and bend and crack
    And before you can count from one to ten
    Do it all over again but this time behind yer back
    My friend
    The ones that wheel and deal and whirl and twirl
    And play games with each other in their sand-box world
    And you can't find it either in the no-talent fools
    That run around gallant
    And make all rules for the ones that got talent
    And it ain't in the ones that ain't got any talent but think they do
    And think they're foolin' you
    The ones who jump on the wagon
    Just for a while 'cause they know it's in style
    To get their kicks, get out of it quick
    And make all kinds of money and chicks
    And you yell to yourself and you throw down yer hat
    Sayin', "Christ do I gotta be like that
    Ain't there no one here that knows where I'm at
    Ain't there no one here that knows how I feel
    Good God Almighty
    THAT STUFF AIN'T REAL"

    No but that ain't yer game, it ain't even yer race
    You can't hear yer name, you can't see yer face
    You gotta look some other place
    And where do you look for this hope that yer seekin'
    Where do you look for this lamp that's a-burnin'
    Where do you look for this oil well gushin'
    Where do you look for this candle that's glowin'
    Where do you look for this hope that you know is there
    And out there somewhere
    And your feet can only walk down two kinds of roads
    Your eyes can only look through two kinds of windows
    Your nose can only smell two kinds of hallways
    You can touch and twist
    And turn two kinds of doorknobs
    You can either go to the church of your choice
    Or you can go to Brooklyn State Hospital
    You'll find God in the church of your choice
    You'll find Woody Guthrie in Brooklyn State Hospital

    And though it's only my opinion
    I may be right or wrong
    You'll find them both
    In the Grand Canyon
    At sundown

    Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos ~ Public Enemy

    I got a letter from the government
    The other day
    I opened and read it
    It said they were suckers
    They wanted me for their army or whatever
    Picture me given' a damn - I said never
    Here is a land that never gave a damn
    About a brother like me and myself
    Because they never did
    I wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute...
    It occured to me
    The suckers had authority
    Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell
    How long has it been?
    They got me sittin' in the state pen
    I gotta get out - but that thought was thought before
    I contemplated a plan on the cell floor
    I'm not a fugitive on the run
    But a brother like me begun - to be another one
    Public enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'all
    To criticize me some crime - never the less
    They could not understand that I'm a Black man
    And I could never be a veteran
    On the strength, the situation's unreal
    I got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steel

    They got me rottin' in the time that I'm servin'
    Tellin' you what happened the same time they're throwin'
    4 of us packed in a cell like slaves - oh well
    The same motherfucker got us livin' is his hell
    You have to realize - that its a form of slavery
    Organized under a swarm of devils
    Straight up - word'em up on the level
    The reasons are several, most of them federal
    Here is my plan anyway and I say
    I got gusto, but only some I can trust - yo
    Some do a bid from 1 to 10
    And I never did, and plus I never been
    I'm on a tier where no tears should ever fall
    Cell block and locked - I never clock it y'all
    'Cause time and time again time
    They got me servin' to those and to them
    I'm not a citizen
    But ever when I catch a C-O
    Sleepin' on the job - my plan is on go-ahead
    On the strength, I'ma tell you the deal
    I got nothin' to lose
    'Cause I'm goin' for the steel

    You know I caught a C-O
    Fallin' asleep on death row
    I grabbed his gun - then he did what I said so
    And everyman's got served
    Along with the time they served
    Decency was deserved
    To understand my demands
    I gave a warnin' - I wanted the governor, y'all
    And plus the warden to know
    That I was innocent -
    Because I'm militant
    Posing a threat, you bet it's fuckin' up the government
    My plan said I had to get out and break north
    Just like with Oliver's neck
    I had to get off - my boys had the feds in check
    They couldn't do nuthin'
    We had a force to instigate a prison riot
    This is what it takes for peace
    So I just took the piece
    Black for Black inside time to cut the leash
    Freedom to get out - to the ghetto - no sell out
    6 C-Os we got we ought to put their head out
    But I'll give 'em a chance, cause I'm civilized
    As for the rest of the world, they can't realize
    A cell is hell - I'm a rebel so I rebel
    Between bars, got me thinkin' like an animal
    Got a woman C-O to call me a copter
    She tried to get away, and I popped her
    Twice, right
    Now who wanna get nice?
    I had 6 C-Os, now it's 5 to go
    And I'm serious - call me delirious
    But I'm still a captive
    I gotta rap this
    Time to break as time grows intense
    I got the steel in my right hand
    Now I'm lookin' for the fence

    I ventured into the courtyard
    Followed by 52 brothers
    Bruised, battered, and scarred but hard
    Goin' out with a bang
    Ready to bang out
    But power from the sky
    And from the tower shots rang out
    A high number of dose - yes
    And some came close
    Figure I trigger my steel
    Stand and hold my post
    This is what I mean - an anti-nigger machine
    If I come out alive and then they won't - come clean
    And then I threw up my steel bullets - flew up
    Blew up, who shot...
    What, who, the bazooka was who
    And to my rescue, it was the S1Ws
    Secured my getaway, so I just gotaway
    The joint broke, from the black smoke
    Then they saw it was rougher thatn the average bluffer
    'Cause the steel was black, the attitude exact
    Now the chase is on tellin' you to c'mon
    53 brothers on the run, and we are gone
    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

    They pretend to be the ones to be afraid of
    Caressing our souls away from us
    And all of the world to keep us all in line
    If we just fold our hands and smile

    So many wasted
    Promises rhapsodized
    Promises to take us higher

    Don't be afraid of their excommunication, you'll survive.
    We'll have no shame cos you will stand the climb and you will rise.

    So many wasted promises rhapsodized
    So many wasted Sundays trying to avoid the fire
    So many wasted
    Promises to take you higher

    They pretend to be the one we should be afraid of
    Caressing our souls away

    So many wasted promises rhapsodized
    So many wasted Sundays trying to avoid the fire
    I've seen the twisted ways
    They push the guilt inside, and made you believe you have to try
    To suffer live and die their way

    But it doesn't have to be this way.

    You don't have to be shaken and confused and
    Hang on to anything you can find.

    Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell ~ The Flaming Lips

    I was waiting on a moment
    But the moment never came
    All the billion other moments
    We're just slipping all away
    I must have been tripping
    Just ego tripping

    I was wanting you to love me
    But your love it never came
    All the other love around me
    Was just wasting all away
    I must have been tripping
    Just ego tripping

    I was waiting on a moment
    But the moment never came -
    But the moment never came -
    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

    White Zombie: Welcome to Planet Motherfucker/Psycoholic Slag

    Woven in the surface a premonition of a land erupting
    A sparkling occasion of a city crashdown! overhead
    Revolv'n in a whirlpool a drag-o-rama walk'n on the
    Sidewalk so let me see ya howl'n through the keyhole
    "god damn, swept away" she shouted - she love it - get
    In away yeah! I concentrate the midnight without the
    Benefit of ceremony - whoever said, "The one who strips
    Your soul is the one that got away" a weather-beaten
    Angel descending to embrace the cemetery - got love - so
    Mystifying "god damn, swept away" she shouted - she
    Love it - get in away yeah! she shouted - she love it - get
    In away - yeah! voodoo beat on

    I've been pushing stones away
    far from these shores
    I pretend that it's all okay
    On the brink of what can't be adored

    We survived
    well we can change
    So let it fade
    Just let it go
    We pretend so nothing has changed
    Flowers never breaking through the stone

    I pretend and pray it all away
    searching for a place to hide
    But I don't need to pretend memories
    to fade
    I just wanna feel something real inside

    And we survive
    Well we can change
    So let it fade
    Let it go
    We pretend so nothing does change
    The flowers never breaking through the stone.

    I've been pushing stones away
    far from these shores
    I pretend that it's all okay
    So long I can be adored

    We survived
    well we can change
    So let it fade
    Just let it go
    We pretend so nothing has changed
    Flowers never breaking through the stone

    ~Who You Are~

    come to send, not condescend
    transcendental consequence
    is to transcend where we are
    who are we? who we are
    trampled moss on your souls
    changes all you're a part
    seen it all, not at all
    can't defend fucked up man
    take me a for a ride before we leave...
    circumstance, clapping hands
    driving winds, happenstance
    off the track, in the mud
    that's the moss in the aforementioned verse
    just a little time, before we leave...
    stop light plays its part
    so i would say you've got a part
    what's your part? who you are
    you are who, who you are
    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.

    Very Ape ~ Nirvana

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=HSVBDTcyKPo

    I am buried up to my neck in
    Contradictionary flies
    I take pride as the king of illiterature
    I'm very ape and very nice

    If you ever need anything please don't
    Hesitate to ask someone else first
    I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive
    I've seen it all, I was here first

    Out of the ground
    Into the sky
    Out of the sky
    Into the dirt

    If you ever need anything please don't
    Hesitate to ask someone else first

    Into the sky
    Out of the sky
    Into the ground

    It's so relieving
    To know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
    It's so relaxing
    To hear that you're asking whenever you get your way
    It's so soothing
    To know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same

    I miss the comfort in being sad
    I miss the comfort in being sad
    I miss the comfort in being saddd-aaaddd-aaaddd-aaaddd yeah....

    In her false witness, we hope you're still with us,
    To see if they float or drown
    My favorite patient, a display of patience,
    Disease-covered Puget Sound
    She'll come back as fire, And burn all the liars,
    leave a blanket of ash on the ground

    I miss the comfort in being sad
    I miss the comfort in being sad
    I miss the comfort in being saddd-aaaddd-aaaddd-aaaddd yeah....

    It's so relieving
    To know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid

    To know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same

  • Down,… Fell by the wayside
    No getting out

    Down,… Cry me a river
    Dried up and damned

    The names,… Can be changed
    But the place,… Is still the same

    I am loaded, told that alls for naught
    Holds me down

    Rise,… Life is in motion
    I’m stuck in line

    Rise,… You cant be neutral
    On a moving train

    One day,… The symptoms fade
    Think I'll throw,... these fuckin' pills away

    And if hope could grow from dirt like me
    It can be done

    Wont let the light escape from me
    Wont let the darkness swallow me
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Down is the New Up ~ Radiohead (from the In Rainbows bonus disc)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5j21zKldcE

    get yourself together
    let the light pour in
    pour yourself a hot bath
    pour yourself a drink
    nothing's going to happen
    without warning

    down is the new up
    what is up, buttercup?
    down is the new up,
    is the new up

    won't you be my girl?
    won't you be my girl?

    your services
    are not required
    your future's bleak
    you're so last week

    ladies and gentlemen
    without a safety net
    I shall now perform a 180 flip-flop
    I shall now amputate
    I shall now contort

    because down is the new up
    and so what if I just flip-flop?
    down is the new up
    down is the new up
    down is the new up
    is the new up

    crawled off and left us
    crawled off and left us, you bastard
    bastard

    you're on candid camera
    the chink in your armor
    topsy-turvy town
    topsy-turvy town
    shake your pockets out
    pass it on, pass it down
    topsy-turvy town
    topsy-turvy town

    BLOW UP THE OUTSIDE WORLD
    Nothing seems to kill me no matter how hard I try
    Nothing is closing my eyes
    Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight
    And nothing seems to break me
    No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all
    Not one for giving up though not invincible I know

    I've givin' everything I need
    I'd give you everything I own
    I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
    I've given everything I could
    To blow it to hell and gone
    Burrow down in and
    Blow up the outside world

    Someone tried to tell me something
    Don't let the world bring you down
    Nothing will do me in before I do myself
    So save it for your own and the ones you can help

    Want to make it understood
    Wanting though I never would
    Trying though I know it's wrong
    Blowing it to hell and gone
    Wishing though I never could
    Blow up the outside world

    Winded is the sailor...drifting by the storm...
    Wounded is the organ he left all...bloodied on the shore...
    Gorgeous was his savior, sees her...drowning in his wake...
    Daily taste the salt of her tears, but...a chance blamed fate...

    Little secrets, tremors...turned to quake...
    The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...

    Ransom paid the devil...
    He whispers pleasing words...
    Triumphant are the angels if they can...a get there first...

    Little secrets tremors...turned to quake...
    The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...

    Ill decide...take the dive...
    Take my time...not my life...
    Wait for signs...believe in lies...
    To get by...its divine...whoa...
    Oh, you know what its like...

    Turns the bow back, tows and...drops the line...
    Puts his faith and love in tremor christ...

    Its a hopeless... situation
    And Im starting to believe
    That this hopeless... situation
    Is what Im trying to achieve

    But I try
    To run on
    Towards
    All or none,... all or none

    Heres the selfless confession
    Leading me back to war
    Can we help that,.. our destinations
    Are the ones weve been before

    I still try
    To run on
    Towards all
    Or none,... all or none

    To myself i... surrender
    To the one Ill never please

    I still try,.. to run on
    But I still try,.. to run on
    But its
    All or none,... all or none.

    Oh he deals them off of the top. Ties them off.
    Fills it up with his past. Gets carried away.
    Oh half his life a hand me down wasted away.
    Oh he fills it up with the love of a girl.

    Oh he left it alone drilled the pain with money to buy.

    How he makes his getaway. How he makes his getaway.

    Oh he chose a path. Heavy the fall. Quarter to four.
    Fills his night with the thought of a girl.

    How he makes his getaway. How he makes his getaway.
    How he makes his getaway. Get away.

    Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone
    Inside sleeping, my heart beating
    You know that you tried to hide it
    Couldn't you have said what you meant? Oh...

    Time heals, time congeals around us
    Endless hours of wasted moments
    Understanding, not demanding
    Your eyes tell what you feel inside

    Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone
    Inside sleeping, my heart beating
    You know that you tried to hide it
    Shouldn't you have said what you meant?

    YOU LIED!

    What is what, man, they got us so scared
    Thinking we so evil way down under there
    Whooo! I made a nasty decision
    To love whoever I want just-a whenever I can

    The things they say is evil urges baby, they be part of the human way
    It ain't evil baby, if ya ain't hurting anybody
    Evil urges baby; they be part of the human way
    It ain't evil baby, if ya ain't hurting anybody, anybody

    Well if it's all the same, we’re tired of waiting come on then
    And dedicate your love to any woman or man
    No racial boundary lines, no social subdivisions
    If you want it, you can

    Well I'm not saying, I'm not saying that I want it someday
    Well I'm not saying, I'm not saying that I want it somehow
    Well I'm not saying, I'm not saying that I want it someday
    Woo, I'm ready it for now (I'm ready for it now!)

    The things they say is evil urges baby; they be part of the human way
    It ain't evil baby, if ya ain't hurting anybody
    Evil urges baby come on; bad is all the same come on now
    It ain't evil baby, if it ain't hurting anybody anybody

    Evil urges baby, they be part of the human way
    It ain't evil baby, ’cause ya ain't hurting anybody anybody

    We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
    We are Choosing to be here, right now. Hold on, stay inside...
    This hoooooly realityy, this hoooooly experience.
    Choosing to be here in...
    This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
    This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion.

    Aliiiiive!

    In this hoooooly reality, in this hoooooly experience. Choosing to be here in...
    This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
    This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion...

    Twirling round with this familiar parable.
    Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
    Recognize this as a holy gift and, celebrate this
    (chance to beeeeee alive and breathing 2x)

    This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
    Embrace this moment. Remember. we are eternal.
    all this pain is an illusion.

    It was 5 years ago yesterday Judith got her wings.

    Judith

    you're such an inspiration for ways that i will never ever choose to be.
    oh so many ways for me to show you how your savior has abandoned you.
    Thank(fuck) your god.
    he did this, took all you had and left you this way.
    still you pray, never stray, never taste of the fruit. never thought to question why.
    it's not like you killed someone.
    it's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side.
    praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed.
    he did it all for you.
    oh so many ways for me to show you how your dogma has abandoned you.
    pray to your christ, to your god.
    never taste of the fruit,
    never stray, never break,
    never choke on a lie,
    even though he's the one who did this to you
    thought to question why
    it's not like you killed someone.
    it's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side.
    talk to jesus christ as if he knows the reasons why he
    did this all to you.
    he did it all for you.

    I, I'm so in love with you
    Whatever you want to do
    Is all right with me
    'Cause you make me feel so brand new
    And I want to spend my life with you

    Since (baby), since we've been together
    Loving you forever
    Is what I need
    Let me be the one you come running to
    I'll never be untrue

    Let's, let's stay together
    Lovin' you whether, whether
    Times are good or bad, happy or sad

    Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

    Why, why some people break up
    Then turn around and make up
    I just can't see
    You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
    Staying around you is all I see
    (Here's what I want us to do)

    Let's, we oughta stay together
    Loving you whether, whether
    Times are good or bad, happy or sad
