Are You Ready?

Can't Be Too Long


Ahhh ... Ahhh ...
Ah, Ah, Ahhh ... Ahhh ...


The heat of a summer day, poundin' down on my back,
Work like a dog in the sunlight, tryin' to pay the people back.
I killed a man in the spring time; Had to work hard just to make a dime,
To buy my baby the things that she needs.
I guess I didn't think twice, and now I have to pay the price,
For killing a man of another creed.


Ahhh ... Ahhh ...
Ah, Ah, Ahhh ... Ahhh ...


I guess I'll have to be strong, the rest of my life can't be too long.
I know I'll die some day, and be going far away,
And you won't remember the things that I've done.
I feel a shedding tear, it's only been a year,
But I know I'll be dead when the evening comes.


Ahhh ... Ahhh ...
Ah, Ah, Ahhh ... Ahhh ...


I guess I'll have to be strong, the rest of my life can't be too long.


Ahhh ... Ahhh ...
Ah, Ah, Ahhh ... Ahhh .

Can't be too long

Hey, everybody won't you lend me your ear,
There's something to fear, it's here, and that's clear.
Men gettin' rich off rapin' the land,
I can't understand, why we don't take them in hand.


Woah, oh ... Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
I don't want to be their fool no more.
Open eyes, but you're sleepin',
You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.
'Fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.


Feel that our lives are in the hands of fools,
Loosin' their cool, it's us that they rule.
Too many people sittin' dead on their ass,
They ain't got no class, people, this time must pass.


Woah, oh ... Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
Hey ... I don't want to be their fool no more.
Open eyes, but you're sleepin',
You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.
'Fore tomorrow comes creepin' in.


Woah, oh ... yeah, tomorrow comes creepin'.


Oh ... hear me cryin' 'cause the people like me,
That long to be free, are not actually.
Please everybody won't you hear this song,
Help a country that's wrong, to someday be strong.


Woah, oh ... Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
No! Lord, I don't want to be their fool no more.
Open eyes, but you're sleepin',
You best wake up 'fore tomorrow comes creepin'.
Creepin' ...
Creepin' ...
Creepin' ...


Creepin' ...
Creepin' ...
Creepin' ...
Creepin' ...
Creepin' ...
Creepin' ...


Tomorrow comes creepin'.
Tomorrow comes creepin'.
Tomorrow comes creepin'.
Tomorrow comes creepin'.
Tomorrow comes creepin'.
Tomorrow comes creepin'.
Tomorrow comes creepin'.
Tomorrow comes creepin'.

Got this thing on the move

Feelin' Alright


Seems I got to have a change in scene,
'Cause every night I have the strangest dreams.
Imprisoned by the way things used to be, yeah,
Left here on my own or so it seems.
I got to leave before I start to scream,
'Cause somebody locked the door and took the key.


CHORUS
Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself.
Feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself.


Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo.


Baby, you sure took me on one big ride,
And, even now I sit and wonder why.
Then, when I think of you, I start to cry,
I know I can't get upset and I must keep dry.
I got to stop believin' in all your lies,
'Cause I got too much to do before I die.


CHORUS


Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo.


CHORUS


Oh, yeah.


CHORUS


Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo.

High on a horse

I Can Feel Him In The Morning


Child 1:
He kind of started all the plants growing, and he started people. Well, I guess he's kind of big and fat.

Child 2:
He can see us wherever we do ... whatever we do. He has such powerful eyes -- he has to have millions and thousands and billions. And he can still see us when we're bad.

Child 3:
He could be sitting on the table right now, but you can't see him.

Child 4:
He can't be everywhere at once doing everything for everybdy. Everybody can't get what they want.

Child 5:
Well, his job is to make us good and to make us happy and make us parents happy.

Child 6:
Good is the right thing and bad is the wrong thing.

Child 7:
When I'm good my mother never yells at me, when I'm bad she does.

Child 8:
Good means to obey your mother and father, to do what the teacher says -- the things right. I feel miserable when I'm ... when I'm bad, I feel miserable on the inside but, on the outside, I just feel like I ... I feel now.

Child 9:
I think ... um, um ... there are more people that are bad than there are good. And, um ... if you're good, you'll live forever. And, if you're bad, you'll die when you die ... (repeat last sentence two more times to fade in echo)


Take me down to the water, let me feel it run over me.
Let me feel the pain and the coldness, the loneliness that there must be.
Whoa, can't you see their dreams, as they go drifting by?
Whoa, can't you see their faces, and their tear-soaked eyes?


CHORUS
I can feel him in the morning, I can feel him in the evening too.
I can hear him in the morning, tellin' me what I got to do.
Got to make a new world, ought to make the old one right.
I can see him in the morning, I can see him in the stars at night.


Take me out to the battlefield, let me hear the shells flying by.
Let me hear the sound of the cannons, let me hear them scream and cry.
Whoa, can't you hear their dreams, as they tumble to the blood-soaked ground?
Whoa, hear them scream for shelter, from the world they never found.


CHORUS


Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo-ooo. (repeated out to end)

Mr. limousine driver

Inside Looking Out


I'm sitting here lonely like a broken man.
I serve my time doin' the best I can.
Walls and bars they surround me.
But, I don't want no sympathy.


No baby, no baby,
All I need is some tender lovin'.
To keep me sane in this burning oven.
And, when my time is up, you'll be my reefer.


Life gets worse on God's green earth.
Be my reefer, got to keep smokin' that thing.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.


I said now baby ... baby ..., let me smoke it ... smoke it ...
Makes me feel good ... feel good, yes, I feel good ... ahhhhh ...
Yes, I feel alright ... feel alright ..., yes, I feel alright ... feel alright ...
Yes, I feel alright ... Ahhhhh ...
Ohhhhh ...


Ice cold water is runnin' through my veins.
They try and drag me back to work again.
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands.
I work all day making up burlap bags.


The oats they're feeding me are driving me wild.
I feel unhappy like a new born child.
Now, when my time is up, you wait and see.
These walls and bars won't keep that stuff from me.


No, no, baby,
Won't keep that stuff from me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.


I need you right now mama.
I need you right now baby.
Right by my side, honey.
All night long.


Make me feel alright ...
Yes, all ..., yes, all ..., yes, all ... alright.


You better come on up and get down with me.
I'll make you feel real good, just you wait and see.


Make me feel alright ..., yes, I feel alright ...
Yes, all ..., yes, all ..., yes, alright.

Take me

Come and dance with me, take me all the higher.
Put your arms around me, make me feel much righter.
Come and love with me, we can move real slow to the music.
Come make love with me ...


Oh ...
CHORUS
Come on, take me, take me, and make me feel your music.
Wanna get in deep when it tastes so sweet,
Wanna lose my head tonight.
Come on, take me, take me, make me feel your music.
Well we ain't gonna stop if we're feelin' hot,
Gotta' lose our heads tonight.


How many times I tried to make it happen?
But you always find a way to say good-night.
Tonight we're here alone, your mama's out, there's nobody home,
I'm a harmless kinda crazy so it's alright.


CHORUS


I've seen you give me looks that I've read about in books,
And I finally had to make you play your hand.
There's a reason that you're here, and I think it's perfectly clear.
But it don't take much to make me understand.


Come and dance with me, take me all the higher.
Put your arms around me, make me feel much righter.
Come and love with me, we can move real slow to the music.
Come make love with me, come make love, make love with me.


Oh ...
CHORUS


CHORUS
(to fade)
I wonder why I'm doin', what I've been doin' for a while.
Can't say it's the money, no, so maybe it's the style.
'Cause dreamin', baby, that's the way that I like it.
Just wanna' get on a plane, go some place insane, throw myself one real good fit.


'Cause I'm tired of thinkin', and too much drinkin', all my troubles away.
Tired of goin' to get layed at the lost and found.
Tired of dealin' with love hurt feelings, and all I got to say,
In view of all that's been goin' down,
I think I'll go on out and pass it around.


I think I'll go on out and pass it around.
Listen to me baby.
Pass it around.
I think I'll go on out and pass it around.
I want to pass it around.
I want to get on out and pass it around.
I want to pass it around.


'Cause I'm tired of thinkin', and too much drinkin', all my troubles away.
I want to pass it around.
Tired of goin' to get layed at the lost and found.
I think I'll go on out and pass it around.
Tired of dealin' with love hurt feelings, and all I got to say,
I want to pass it around.
In view of all that's been goin' down,
I think I'll go on out and pass it around.

Upsetter

Broken glass everywhere
People pissing on the stairs, you know they just don't care
I can't take the smell, I can't take the noise
Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
Junkie's in the alley with a baseball bat
I tried to get away, but I couldn't get far
Cause the man with the tow-truck repossessed my car

Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to loose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under

Standing on the front stoop, hangin' out the window
Watching all the cars go by, roaring as the breezes blow
Crazy lady, livin' in a bag
Eating out of garbage piles, used to be a fag-hag
Search and test a tango, skips the life and then go
To search a prince to see the last of senses
Down at the peepshow, watching all the creeps
So she can tell the stories to the girls back home
She went to the city and got so so so ditty
She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own

Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to loose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under

My brother's doing fast on my mother's T.V.
Says she watches to much, is just not healthy
All my children in the daytime, Dallas at night
Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
Bill collectors they ring my phone
And scare my wife when I'm not home
Got a bum education, double-digit inflation
Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station
Me on King Kong standin' on my back
Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
Midrange, migrained, cancered membrane
Sometimes I think I'm going insane, I swear I might hijack a plane!

Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to loose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under

My son said daddy I don't wanna go to school
Cause the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool
And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be cheaper
If I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper
I dance to the beat, shuffle my feet
Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps
Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
They push that girl in front of a train
Took her to a doctor, sowed the arm on again
Stabbed that man, right in his heart
Gave him a transplant for a brand new start
I can't walk through the park, cause it's crazy after the dark
Keep my hand on the gun, cause they got me on the run
I feel like an outlaw, broke my last fast jaw
Hear them say you want some more, livin' on a seasaw

Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to loose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under

A child was born, wih no state of mind
Blind to the ways of mankind
Got a smile on you with these burning tooth
Cause only god knows what you go through
You grow in the ghetto, living second rate
And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate
The places you play and where you stay
Looks like one great big alley way
You'll admire all the numberbook takers
Dogpitchers, pushers and the big money makers
Driving big cars, spending twenties and tens
And you wanna grow up to be just like them
Smuygglers, scrambles, burglars, gamblers
Pickpockets, peddlers and even pan-handlers
You say I'm cool, I'm no fool
But then you wind up dropping out of highschool
Now you're unemployed, all null 'n' void
Walking around like you're pretty boy Floyd
Turned stickup kid, look what you done did
Got send up for a eight year bid
Now your man hood is took and you're a Maytag
Spend the next two years as an undercover fag
Being used and abused, and served like hell
Till one day you was find hung dead in a cell
It was plain to see that your life was lost
You was cold and your body swung back and forth
But now your eyes sing the sad sad song
Of how you lived so fast and died so young

Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to loose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under

If you find yourself looking for someone
To make good the bad things that you've done.
Do you think you're looking straight ahead?
And, will you find the answer when you're dead?


Well, then you should listen now to me.
And, I'll tell you how I think it should be.
No one tells you why you're here to live.
This is why it's you who must forgive.


No! You can't kill your brother ...
No! Because you love each other.
No! You can't steal his pennies ...
No! 'Cause you didn't leave him any.


Ahhhhhh ... Ahhhhhh ...
Ahhhhhh ... Ahhhhhh ...


And if reason tells you not to live,
But you feel there's something left to give.
You can't leave this place until it's done,
So you'll see one more rising of the sun.


Sun ...
Sun ... You're gonna' see it one more time.
Sun ... Oh you can't get away from it.
Sun ... You're gonna see it, oh, one more time

Call yourself a man


Everybody's laughin', loud as it can be,
But please don't point your finger, especially not at me.
'Cause I'm not tryin' to be somebody, I just do what I can,
But you just keep on laughin', call yourself a man!


I'm not lookin' for somebody, to defend my case.
I've been scorned by more than one, so stop this paper chase.
If you can't accept me, just for what I am,
Go ahead, reject me, call yourself a man!


Tell me who you're foolin', is it not yourself?
Go ahead, be cool, and, I'll just be myself.
And if you can't accept me, just for what I am,
Go ahead, reject me, call yourself a man!

Heartbreaker

Ice cold water is runnin' through my veins.

Now, when my time is up, you wait and see.

Won't keep that stuff from me.

Aimless lady

Aimless lady, is this your home town?
Tell me baby, tell me where you're bound.
When our eyes met, you were in the very first row.
I couldn't even guess your name, but I just had to know.


You were meant for me, would you grab your coat and flee?

Loneliness

Loneliness cries deep from my soul,
Keeps trying to tell me about the world growing so cold.
Too many people trying to take from my Earth,
But we can't live without controlling our birth.


Deep inside a voice cries out for you,
It's not alone 'cause, people, I been cryin' too.
If we don't stop what we all see is wrong,
I guarantee you mankind won't live long.


CHORUS
There's a land, a glorius land,
It's right here on Earth.
Understand what you can from the land,
Your life is it's worth.
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh.
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh.
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh.


To face the problems that everyone's found,
We must replace what we took out of the ground.
Pray for your brother, let your soul find a way,
Help one another, oh, please listen to what I say.


CHORUS

Oh ..., I can't get away from loneliness ...

CHORUS

Save the land

Look out for the land rush, it's coming day by day.
Said, get ready for the land rush, it's headed right your way.
Look what you're paying, to live on your land,
And most folks don't even have some, but I don't understand.


CHORUS
Spread the news across the land, and just do the best you can,
All we've got is just the land; Take a stand, save the land.


Sometimes I sit here thinking, but all the answers just don't appear.
I'm calling to my brothers and sisters, let's get together and kill this fear.
There ain't really gonna' be much to it. We can control the thing if we try.
With just a little more understanding, the whole world will get by.


CHORUS

All you've got is money

To get along with one another.
Everybody knows what's wrong and what's right,
But, you can't trust your own brother, yeah.


Everybody wants to be your friend,
All the chicks, they call you honey.
But don't trust them 'till the very end,
'Cause all they're after is your money.

Don't it scare ya',
When they take such good care of ya',
And all you've got is money?
Before they fool ya',
Please, let me school ya',
All you've got is money.


(various screams)

Comfort me

I was found after losing my way,
Safe and sound after many a day.
I was lost in a world of madness,
Please take me from all of this sadness.


CHORUS
Comfort me, in whatever I do.
Comfort me, and I'll comfort you too.
Follow me, 'cause I'm trying to love you.


Can't figure out what's wrong with my head,
I used to think I wish I was dead.
You took me from all of that sorrow,
My future's bright, I can't wait 'till tomorrow.


CHORUS


There ain't nothin' to it, anyone can do it,
It's easy when you're feelin' right.
I know that I feel good, and I know that you should,
Stop not doin' what you know is right.


Don't know what it is that's causing this feeling,
What ever it is I'm touching the ceiling.
I won't let go of this beautiful sound,
I once was lost but now I am found.


CHORUS


I just don't want to be your friend, yeah.
You can trust me 'till the very end, yeah.
I know just what I'm talkin' about, yeah, yeah.
I'm talkin 'bout the love that you can't live without, no, no.
