man's inhumanity towards man, stop it when it first began
tell them this road's to die on, goes nowhere
a land they're never supposed to reach or be kindly received they'll just drop to their knees
to the nowhere land
and in the orphanage they run for their beds, they run from the men in the building
and allies just watch, whisper and talk, and one million are marched to a
nowhere land
nowhere land
i'm not calling out a warning, for all is not well there's so little time
please sir there's women and children, they lie where they fell - they've done nothing wrong, nothing at all
you said enough, you'll set him off
you said enough, you'll set him off,
you’ll set him off, you said enough
you said enough
he'll tell his story they said he don't lie
he'll tell his story he said he don't lie

Bohemian Grove

aung san suu kyi on house arrest another bhutto assassination
could've stopped sarejavo we must confess but we were planning our next invasion
where are the leaders of the atomic age, is it just another working day
said he was coming he was on his way but he fell down a hole in the ocean
levees are full but the river run dry, the desert takes over the grasslands
space that separates us grows ever wide, profiteer stokes the division
something’s not right, something is wrong but the news at 11 no one has told them
if we don't come together it won't be long, these are the wars that face our generation
it's a peculiar situation when the leaders of the wealthy nation don't care for the damage they done, so bohemian
mother hubbard called for the investigation but all they know is their retaliation, so they appealed to her dogs' thirst
but he tips his hat and he says "no"
don't need your
world control and the opinion of the inner elite
don't you know that we are achin’ for a part in the chance worth taking
who's to say that we are destined just to fall at your feet
i'm here today so are we the we the people of the earth rolling round
it's a peculiar situation when the leaders of the wealthy nation
don’t care for the damage they’ve done, so bohemian
mother hubbard called for the investigation but all they know is their retaliation
so they go again to the dogs thirst
but we will not work for your
world control and the opinion of the inner elite
don't you know that we are achin’ for a part in the chance worth taking
who's to say that we are destined just to fall at their feet
gonna end this world control so that it's rendered to the we the people of the earth rolling round

Let It Go
03:12
|

under the parasol, the magistrate sings the madrigal and shields his face
from the man who sells his madness by way of the gun -
outside the manner yard on the crippled street
young girls sell their bodies for bread to eat
stare the corner down and say so we meet again
but somewhere the people rise and break out in song
their voices are carrying them, and i would but the feet on my souls are
gone from the night they came in
they came in trucks with their iron wrath
driving this country to it's dying breath
but it's never enough for the tyrant and his cattle
let it go
and there he sits, the self-crowned-king, in his bird bath, just rearranging his things
when he hears the songs high over head
he glares at the sky in his disbelief
throws a fit and splashes the bath empty and orders his generals to aim higher
let it go

Evolution
03:55
|

people can you hear this / people can you hear each other
they want to make us soldiers / they want us to unnerve each other
we speak in different dialects / they want us to requite our sister
their fashionable language / they want us all to fear our brother
now the tie that binds must be stronger than what our differences allow
see the good in the passing wave that is evolution
people can you hear this / people can you hold each other
can it be we're getting nearer / don't let the cynics be your only cover
now the tie that binds must be stronger than what our differences allow
see the good in the passing wave that is evolution
but we'll surprise them all -
i got the oil can, you got the stove pipe, he got the key stone, she got the block
with of bit of mortar we make the fine house we won’t look for where the one shoe dropped
but here come the foreman and he gonna shut us down
but we'll take the long way, the long way around
we gather on the wall on the wrong side of town
we’ll surprise them all
people can you hear this / people don't you hurt each other
they want to make us soldiers / the innocent too long have suffered
now the tie that binds must be strong
see the good in the passing wave that is evolution
but we'll surprise them all

Held Up by the Wires
04:37
|
|||
bought the old farmland for a song
sold it for many reasons too many of them wrong
horseshoe bets and the women that came along
blind drunk on their demon rum
kickin the pedals tryin to out run the dogs
with no running start to jump over the fire
doin headstands atop of the rotten telephone poles
all held up by the wire
his knowledge a product of his loneliness
a mad cousin to his holiness
maniacs in cages and patriots in sages
a cruel untelling of the books
but i'll not give myself to the ground
i kill, more than i live, so slowly
heard a great force raping the land
like general kelly and his ghost yellow man
marching like sherman in reverse
steeling the fire from the building, the city from the curse
master dies by his own hired hand
half a day later father's hanging from the steeple
strongest body of thieves to ever scourge a land
to ever pillage a people
but i'll not give myself to the ground
i kill, more than i live, so slowly
oh,, allow this night to go on let it roll along, the sun never rise
allow this life to go on, let it roll along, the sun never rise
say one thing and do another
and bunker down in your alsatian den
we ain't got room for your politics here
politicians make a bad name for the conmen
and water fell like burning metal
set off by a dying sun
them women they circled like covered wagons crying
their loved ones back from where they've gone
but i'll not give...

Blood Escaping Man
03:32
|

closer, she smiled telling me not to worry
i said i didn't know and i don't now, but i won't let you fall if you come down
ooh she said waiting on the wine dark sea with skin and lips of salt
better to give to the, then to all the senators in the hall
vs.
well the suitors been complaining, it's a bitter taste of man
i seen them eating and drinking and vying for her hand (some can hardly stand)
i seen her walking too up the widow's walk
i tell her to keep it on i tell her don't give up
cause i swear that he's coming and just wait a little more time
there's been a dead reckoning with the government and they think they know the plan
they're drawing all their lots to see who's the better man
and then the winner come and grabs her in stride
takes her to bed and makes her their bride
but (i reckon) he gonna come home and see you makin it with his wife
i've seen the blood escaping man
do not overlook him if you can
i've seen the blood escaping man
do not overlook him in your heart ...
do not overlook him
in her heart she holds the candle that guides her through the night
she came to me in secret and whispered at first light
please madame for all your beauty its not me you want - - i saw a bum in town who's body leaves no blood
today as the suitors come there'll be a ragged beggar behind
i'd love to be your lover but there's a ragged beggar behind
i've seen the blood escaping man
do not overlook him if you can
i've seen the blood escaping man
do not overlook him in your heart ...
do not overlook him in your heart you hold the light that leads you (underneath the rags) (do not over look) it is your man

Still & Silent
06:36
|
|||
she came into my bed
in the middle of the night
she said i'm tired of sleeping
said the world was going mad
she wasn't seeing things quite right
said the streets were bleeding
i remember thinking
i think i might as well turn in for the night
i think that somebody's trying to tell me something
so i gathered up my things and walked back from the light
wondering what that something might be
she came into my bed
in the middle of the night
i said you must be mistaken
wasn't sure what she'd just seen
wasn't sure she could believe
i think somebody's trying to tell me something
how can we stay still and silent
