            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 Pretend0

            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"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

            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..."...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

            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.""...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
