Hey Commy I wanted to send you a PM but I couldn't....
Every Single Soul....Michael Franti and SPEARHEAD
No matter where I roam
whoa-oh I know every single soul is poem
written on the back of God's hand
Ya see Moms and Pops be copulatin'
plantin' seeds and pickin' weeds for another season
another reason for livin' another reason for givin'
another reason for lovin' and tryin' stay out of prison
'cause everything in life can't be nice and
everything you want can't be got
but the lessons on patient be causing the pressure to rise
and make some people suicidal
Oh no! another soul, has lost control
we pull him back into the fold
he got strung out on the material
all the superficial initials upon his clothes
they make me wanna go Sprewell
every time I see my family locked in jail
uh-huh, the economical can be demonical
keep love in your soul
Ya see people are so beautiful in love
that's why I'm reminded of life's precious moments every time
I see lovers walkin' by in the park
close my eyes and I stop reminisce
to see a little baby suckin' on his mama's
milk-ey silky smoothness of a lovin' caress holdin' baby to breast
and blessin' the world with another to test, test, test
oh-yes, oh-yes Bom-bom!
I'd like to sing a little song
dedicated to the people who would like to sing along
'cause every little song has little beats and notes
like every little lake has little trees and boats
all people deserve a safe and warm home
'cause every single soul is a poem
Right from the start in a world torn apart
a baby's love leaves finger prints upon the heart
so many think it, but never say it
"why bring a child to this planet full of hatred?"
they might not make it like the youngest departed
or worst of all they might become a part of it
involved in it, perpetuating violence, violence
and growing up in silence
seein' things they don't know how to deal with
and learnin' ways, to try to cope with it
cope with it, cope with it
and not lose hope
Peace*We CAN bomb the World to pieces, but we CAN'T bomb it into PEACE*...Michael Franti
*MUSIC IS the expression of EMOTION.....and that POLITICS IS merely the DECOY of PERCEPTION*

I Wish That I could Be You...Michael Franti & Spearhead
I wish that I could be you,
for a moment or two.
And you could be me ,
if you wanted to see,
what it's like in my shoes.
Chillin' on a corner cause I gotta kill an hour.
I see a pretty sister over purchasing some flowers.
She walks into the grocery, so I take a step and follow.
She gives me funny feelings in my throat and so I swallow.
Afraid to approach her, I stand goofy in the isle.
Shopkeeper starring, but he don't give me know smile.
He says,"customers only boy, leave if your not buying."
I turn around to him and say,
Outside a night club, got know invitation.
A limosine pulls up, ya know it's causing made comotion.
So I move alittle closer, maybe see a superstar.
Just to catch a glimpse of who's coming out the car.
A man steps out, you know he's dress up like Mac the knife.
He had a taste of the plastic things in life.
Mad clothes, fine women, spent the rest on gettig high.
Laughed at other folks along the way just gettig by.
I eased up through the crowd just so I could see his face.
His two security goons come knock me on my ace.
I say," Yo man you ain't gotta do that, I ain't trying to rock your world."
And at that same moment I see that pretty girl.
The one from the grocery, I saw buying flowers.
Steps out the limo and her face looks kind of sour.
Plastic man grabs her arm and walks away.
I sit up, look at him and say'
That girl looks so damn fine,
I thought I'd never get her off my mind.
So I walk around to the back alley,
Try to sneek into the party.
I zoom in like binoculars on something that did shock me.
That plastic man he had that girl up against the wall.
He was all up in her face, his fist up in a ball.
I said,"Yo man you better leave that nice young girl alone."
And he smacked her one more time and said,"oh what, you want some."
He took a swing at me,
I ducked, hit him with an uppercut,
knocked him on his butt like he got struck by mac the truck.
He grabbed the sisters shoulders
and then he slammed her to the ground.
Crack, a deadly sound, red blood soiled the ground.
Sister wounded, I took in my arms.
I started praying that she would not be gones.
I heard sirens going off in my head,
and I whispered in her ear and said,
I wish I could be you,
for a moment or two,
and you could be me if you wanted to see
just what I think of you.

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you
Forget the dead you’ve left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who’s rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
Scrap the extras - Let's keep our eyes wide open
Cut out the spareparts - Let's keep our eyes wide open
Keep our eyes wide open
Fuck the idol - Let's keep our eyes wide open
Reject the star - Star, star, star
Let's feed ourselves some - Let's keep our eyes wide open
Destruction
Convention blackmails - Let's keep our eyes wide open
Creativity - Yeah! Yeah!
This lack of challange - Let's keep our eyes wide open
Kills me, kills me, kills me, kills me
Scrap the extras - Let's keep our eyes wide open
Cut out the spareparts
Fuck the idol, idol - Let's keep our eyes wide open
Reject the star
The rhymes of revolution
Poetry written in gasoline
The rhymes of revolution
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Manipulate the obvious
Cowards bought by traditionalist manners
Scream at the herd that are heard the most
Without substance and with useless... banners
Banners, banners, banners
Your art, your art, is worth, is worth nothing
Like a city with no meaning
Like a city, with no meaning, with no meaning
Your creation holds, holds no hope
The rhymes of revolution
Yeah! Yeah!
The rhymes of revolution
Poetry written in gasoline
Poetry written in gasoline
Poetry written in gasoline
Ah! Yeah!

When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
And when our summers grow longer and winters won’t snow
From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills
To the fight in the desert where progress stands still
When we’ve lost our will
That’s how we’ll know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
We're crashing into the ground as all fall from grace
When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke
When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes
When your home on the range has been torn down and paved and
The buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave
What more will it take
For us to know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
Kissing the ground as well fall from grace
This is a chance to set things straight
To bend or break the rules back into place
There is no middle ground, no compromise, we’ve drawn the line
With perfect aim, we stand back and throw
Glass windows break and it’s all about to blow
Lights go out as we pass the torch again
In hope that it stays lit
Neutrality means that you don’t really care
Cause the struggle goes on even when you’re not there
Blind and unaware
That’s how we’ll know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
We're crashing into the ground as we all, yeah we all, all fall from gracehear my name
take a good look

a perfect cirlce - the noose
So glad to see you well
Overcome a nd completely silent
Now with heaven's help
You cast your demons out
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about making your amends
To the dead
To the dead
Recall the deeds as if they're all
Someone else's atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn before us all
So glad to see you well
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about making your amends
To the dead
To the dead
With your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping downdon't compete; coexist
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'0 -

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they're dead or alive
They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight
Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who's wrong or right
But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight0 -

A choice must be made!
In these times of war today
A choice must be made that no one wants to make
The result is inevitable
No one wins but a side must be taken
It's them or us, we don't want it this way
Death is certain and lives are at stake
Whose children must die? Whose buildings must fall?
No one can see eye to eye, all we see is hate
Our freedom fighters are their terrorists
Their heroes are our nemesis
Peace! Is! Not!
Peace is not an option!

Life During Wartime.....Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day)
Yeah, we say making changes
starts in the little things you do
"Revolution begins at home"
But for most of us, it ends there too
We're doing something
We're making changes
Like changing the brand of crap we buy
We say it makes a difference
but that's just another lie
It used to be "us" and "them"
And you and me
And now we can't reach
our full potential
without a common enemy
A real war to fight against
Instead of our petty disagreements
But how can I rationalize
My life during wartime lie
A call to action and a reaction
Taking our lives into our own hands
Instead of sitting aroung talking
about the same old shitty bands
But war is going on right now
and I'm not doing anything about it
Without a crowd, I'm not so loud
I can't do anything by myself
but that's just another lie

In Your Name
We've got missiles and tanks
We've got bombs and planes
We've got plans and people
And we do it in your name
We've got our anger and rage
To send you back from where you came
We are hurting you to heal you
And we're doin' it in your name
We've got missiles and tanks
We've got bombs and planes
We've got plans and people
And we do it in your name
We're the righteous and true
You're the unholy, profane
We are fighting for your freedom
And we do it in your name
We've got missiles and tanks
We've got bombs and planes
We've got plans and people
And we do it in your name, yeah
We are the victims of privilege
You're the one to blame
We hate you, you hate us
We all feel the same
We've got missiles and tanks
We've got bombs and planes
We've got plans and people
And we do it in your name, yeah
