    What can this strange device be
    When i touch it, it gives forth a sound
    It's got wires that vibrate and give music
    What can this thing be that i found?

    See how it sings like a sad heart
    And joyously screams out its pain
    Sounds that build high like a mountain
    Or notes that fall gently like rain

    Oh, mirror in the sky
    What is love?
    Can the child within my heart rise above?
    Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
    Can I handle the seasons of my life?
    I don't know

    Well, I've been afraid of changing
    Cause I've built my life around you
    But time makes you bolder
    Even children get older
    I'm getting older too
    So....

    Now I’ve been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
    Why must we go on hating, why can’t we live in bliss
    Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
    Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

    So if you disappear out of view
    You know, I will never say goodbye
    Though I try to forget it
    You will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
    We may never meet again
    So shed your skin and let's get started

    Don't take no prisoners if can't afford to feed none
    Don't start no fights if you can't predict the outcome
    Don't make donations where you cannot get your dough back
    Fuck the apathetic bullshittas send em' all your prozac


    Peace

    I wonder how much of these is with the way they sound when sung?!?

    Here's mine.

    This made me think a very different point of view……….

    This one from my 2nd favorite RUSH song.....

    All that we can do is just survive
    All that we can do to help ourselves
    Is stay alive...

    Ragged lines of ragged grey
    Skeletons, they shuffle away
    Shouting guards and smoking guns
    Will cut down the unlucky ones

    I clutch the wire fence
    Until my fingers bleed
    A wound that will not heal-
    A heart that cannot feel-
    Hoping that the horror will recede
    Hoping that tomorrow-
    We'll all be freed....


    Red Sector A...a song about The Holocaust

    Peace

    "I won't do the shit that piss you off and make you mad
    Like running late to dinner with your business friends
    Or being out late night with the fellas at the club
    Or the time I forgot your birthday cuZ I's at the studio
    And I will try to be a little more sensitive
    Because I love you baby boo boo
    And I need a place to live
    I Can't go back to Jersey
    I ain't goin' back
    I Can't go back to Jersey
    I ain't goin' back
    I Can't go back to Jersey
    I ain't goin' back
    Why ya Why ya Why ya
    Gotta do me like that?"

    G. Love - "Can't Go Back to Jersey"
    Not necessarily rock but great lyrics none the less. This always puts a smile on my face :)

    Out here in the fields
    I fight for my meals
    I get my back into my living
    I don't need to fight
    To prove I'm right
    I don't need to be forgiven

    Let me ask you one question
    Is your money that good
    Will it buy you forgiveness
    Do you think that it could
    I think you will find
    When your death takes its toll
    All the money you made
    Will never buy back your soul

    I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
    I saw boys, toys electric irons and T.V.'s
    My brain hurt like a warehouse
    it had no room to spare
    I had to cram so many things
    to store everything in there
    And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
    And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
    I never thought I'd need so many people

    If I don't find a way to see through the gray that clouds my mind.
    This time I look to see what's between the lines!

    I can't see, I can't see, I'm going blind...
    I'm blind
