Hey, come on all you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way on over in Afghanistan
So put down your books and pick up a gun
Gonna have a whole lotta fun!
One, two, three
What are we fighting for?
What are we fighting for?
Five, six, seven
What are we fighting for?
Ain't no time to wonder why
Why we’re all gotta die
Hey, come on all of you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way on over in Afghanistan
So put down your books and pick up a gun
Gonna have a whole lotta fun!
One, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me I don't give a damn
Next stop maybe Iran
Five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Ain't no time to wonder why
Why we all gotta die
Come on generals, let's move fast
Your big chance has come at last
Call everyone a terrorist
The only good zombie’s the one that's dead
You know that peace can only be won
When you’ve blown 'em all to kingdom come
One, two, three
Don't ask me I don't give a damn
Next stop maybe Iran
Five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Ain't no time to wonder why
Why we’re all gotta die

Always Wishing
You’re sound asleep
Right here next to me
I’m so lucky
To have you in my life
‘Cause I love you
Always thinking of you
Always wishing that I…
Could spend every moment with you
Wake up in the morning
Walk out into the sun
I’m so happy
To have you in my life
‘Cause I love you
Always thinking of you
Always wishing that I…
Could spend every moment with you
You’re sound asleep
Right here next to me
I’m so lucky
To have you in my life
‘Cause I love you
Always thinking of you
Always wishing that I…
Could spend every moment with you
‘Cause I love you
Always thinking of you
Always wishing that I…
Could spend every moment with you

Won't Let No One

Won’t Let No One
Won’t let no one
You hide in bed
With nothing said
Just a sinking feeling
That you’re lying again
You’re lying again
Lying again to me
(Sometimes I feel like there’s someone else in the room)
Don’t run and hide
I’m on your side
Won’t let no one
Make you cry
It ain’t too late
Too late to decide
I’m not the enemy
Won’t let no one
Emotions rollin’ over
Wounds from the past
So afraid that…
Maybe this won’t last
‘Cause you’re lying again
Lying again to me
(Is it a lie when you forget to tell me?)
Well there’s a place I know
Where your smile still shines
Where you’ll never ever say goodbye
Please don’t say goodbye
Don’t say goodbye to me
(Please don’t say goodbye to me)
Don’t run and hide
I’m on your side
Won’t let no one
Make you cry
It ain’t too late
Too late to decide
I’m not the enemy
Won’t let no one

Lucky Few

The Lucky Few
I followed a path that promised perfection
A guaranteed course and life made in heaven
But no matter what you do
Happiness is for the lucky few
For the lucky few
For the lucky few
I've met some who've tried rebelling and running
Only to find life's a struggle for nothing
And no matter what they do
Happiness is for the lucky few
For the lucky few
For the lucky few
Somewhere back at the start
Truth set ‘em free
Luck came from the heart
As I sit here so broken, ugly and worn
Maybe there's a life beyond this storm
‘Cause the lighthouse runs dark
And wind it blows cold
Many put faith in only what they hold
For the lucky few
For the lucky few
So, please hear the prayers of unlucky fools
Please hear the prayers of unlucky fools
Please hear the prayers of unlucky fools
Please hear the prayers…

Tea Act

Give to the masses
Bread and circuses
Keep them distracted
Just like the Romans did
Boil your holy water
Steep your black tea
Pretend to be Indians
And throw it back to sea
Put your faith in Jesus Christ
Dream of an all white Christmas
Everything’ll be alright
After the inquisition
Whatever your politics
One thing is true
Whoever makes money
Makes all the rules
So, wrap me in my flag
With my bible and cross
Who cares if I’m right
Just don’t tell me I’m wrong
World War III
Will be a conflict of words
Dining on our minds
And devouring our souls
Put your faith in Jesus Christ (Jesus Christ)
Dream of an all white Christmas (All white Christmas)
Everything’ll be alright (Be alright)
After the inquisition (After the inquisition)

Doing It All Again
Overwhelming sadness
Feeling isolated
They say I must be crazy
Expecting something different
Overcoming hurdles
Knowing only struggle
Tell me what’s the point
Of doing it all again?
Doing it all again
Overwhelming sadness
Feeling isolated
They say I must be crazy
Expecting something different
Overcoming hurdles
Knowing only struggles
Tell me what’s the point
Of doing this all again?
Doing it all again
Mind and body and soul and kiss
Therapists, tests and charts and lists
What do I need to do this time?
What will you make me feel this time?
What do I need to do this time?
What will you take from me this time?

Fight No Flight
In 1812
Some black men
Wore red coats
Fought for Canada
’til we set ‘em free
(Set ‘em free!)
Now we fear the black man
Like he’s the enemy
I scare myself to feel alive
Without the fear I go nowhere
Use to fear the fallen angel
Fight no flight until I die
1912
Some white men
Wore grey coats
Fought for the Czar
’til we set ‘em free
(Set ‘em free!)
Now we fear the Russians
Like they’re the enemy
I scare myself to feel alive
Without the fear I go nowhere
Use to fear the fallen angel
Fight no flight until I die
In 2012
Some green men
Wore white coats
Fought for Mars
’til we set ‘em free
(Set ‘em free!)
Now we fear the green man
Like he’s the enemy
I scare myself to feel alive
Without the fear I go nowhere
I use to fear the fallen angel
Fight no flight until I die
I scare myself to feel alive
Without the fear I go nowhere
I use to fear the fallen angel
Fight no flight until I die

Greenwich Avenue
On a spring day
At a coffee shop
Around the way
Interesting people
In bright red shoes
Walk down the street
With nothing to do
All singing…
Scat singing
On a spring day
At a coffee shop
Around the way
Interesting people
In dark black suits
Walk down the street
With nothing to lose
All singing…
Scat singing
Well for a brief interlude
Or just something to do
To break up your day
Go to Greenwich Avenue

Begins With Me
I always thought you would be by my side
I never thought you would run and hide
I always thought you would be with me
If I only knew how much pain you were in
There’s no more time for talking
And no more room for growing
Thank you dear for showing us
Another way to be
It begins with me
Ease the pain
Let go of blame
It begins with me
I didn’t know my expectations of you
I didn’t think I could take you for granted
I always thought you would be with me
If I only knew how much pain I would feel
There’s no more time for talking
And no more room for growing
Thank you dear for showing us
A better way to be
Everytime you compromised
You cried
I died
All I wanted to do was
Create a life together
Everytime you compromised
Everytime you compromised
There’s so much love inside us
And so much time to go
Thank you dear for showing us
Another way to be
It begins with me
Ease the pain
Let go of blame
It begins with me
It begins with me
Ease the pain
Let go of blame
It’s my responsibility
It begins with me

So Wrong
We’re taught to hold the paddles tight
There’s a waterfall just outta sight
Never trust in anyone
Not even your own soul
All the obstacles we’re taught
(So wrong)
All the wars we’ve ever fought
Learn to go with the flow
And take the river home
We’re taught to see our limits clear
Children learn to face your fears
There’s no one left to blame
Not even your own pain
All the obstacles we’re taught
(So wrong)
All the wars we’ve ever fought
Learn to go with the flow
And take the river home
They say you gotta make the world
You gotta shape the world
But, maybe, just maybe, maybe…
We’re already there
All the obstacles we’re taught
(So wrong)
All the wars we’ve ever fought
(So wrong)
All the obstacles we’re taught
(So wrong)
All the wars we’ve ever fought
(So wrong)
Learn to go with the flow
And take the river home

Arizona Clay

Arizona Clay
Always so independent
‘Til one day she met him
He liked her tomboy side
Not too girly, not too shy
He was helpless
She brought him to his knees
Blue-green eyes
And straight blonde hair
Beauty so humble
He couldn’t help but stare
She knew what she was doing
Standing in the tall green grass
With that sundress on…
So she makes a plan to run away
From the fear she says will stay
Unless she rides the rails southwest
Through the Mesas in her mind
Mountains sooth her Indian burns
Give her a place to hide
But still she cries inside
Even visits to the Christian mission
Can’t seem clear her mind
In just a few days
She stops feeling that way
And says goodbye…
Now with tempers high and air so dry
She drives West toward the sky
Into the warm red arms of Arizona clay
Her desert tears begin to fall
Canyons learn to tell it all
Wise from all that starlight in the past
She prays for dusk to cool her
Maybe a mirage to fool her
But still the heat's the same
And all that hurt remains
Then she looks at me and says,
“Good, bad or ugly,
At least somebody loves me…”
She drinks her last Corona
And drives down to Sedona
Jumps into the Benz
Just to feel the breeze
As the sun is setting
Years of her depression
Fill her bones
And chill her knees
She stops in the haunted mining town
Grabs another cold one
Just to feel alive
She’ll never run from the sun
Or the bullet of a gun
But she’ll say goodbye…
Remain in the desert
Run to the sea
(She’ll change her mind)
Always got reasons to leave
(She’ll say goodbye)
Remain in the desert
Run to the sea
(She'll change her mind)
Always got reasons to leave
(She’ll say goodbye)
Remain in the desert
Run to the sea…
Always got reasons to leave
(And change her mind)
