Lyrics:
They say they like it, now, but in the market it May not go well as it's too laid back. You need some oomph-papa, nothing like Frank Zappa And not New Wave they don't play that crap Tyr beating your head on a brick wall Hard like a stone Don't have time for the music They want the blood from a clone I hear a clock ticking I feel the nitpicking I almost quit kicking at the wall There seems a confusion, under the illusion That they know just what will suit you all Beating my head on a brick wall Hard like a stone Ain't got time for the music They want the blood from a clone There is no sense to it Pure pounds and pence to it They're so intense too makes me amazed Don't want no music but, they're making you sick with Some awful noises that may get played By beating their heads on a brick wall Hard like a stone Ain't no messing 'round with music Give them the blood from a clone Where will it all lead us I thought we had freed us From the mundane seems I'm wrong again Could be they lack roots, they're still wearing jack boots they're Marching somewhere in the pouring rain Beating my head on a brick wall Hard like a stone Don't have time for the music They want the blood from a clone

Song: Unconsciousness Rules
Lyrics:
You dance at the discotheque That's why you look such a wreck Your face is pale you look drawn Your clothes are dirty and torn You've got that look in your eyes that says You're half alive and you're lost inside Meanwhile you're back in your cage Ego'd out on the stage Where the unconsciousness rules You've got yourself in a bind You don't know how to unwind Your senses unsatisfied Take you along on a ride You've got a way and a stance that says You'll dance the pants off of everyone Then you go back on the floor You got to get through the door Where the unconsciousness rules. You've lost a screw in your head It shows the way you're led Blind leading the blind Nothing can stand in your way You're living day after day Where the unconsciousness rules.

Song: All Those Years Ago
Lyrics:
I'm shouting all about love While they treated you like a dog When you were the one who had made it so clear All those years ago. I'm talking all about how to give They don't act with much honesty But you point the way to the truth when you say All you need is love. Living with good and bad I always look up to you Now we're left cold and sad By someone the devil's best friend Someone who offended all. We're living in a bad dream They've forgotten all about mankind And you were the one they backed up to the wall All those years ago You were the one who Imagined it all All those years ago. Deep in the darkest night I send out a prayer to you Now in the world of light Where the spirit free of the lies And all else that we despised. They've forgotten all about God He's the only reason we exist Yet you were the one that they said was so weird All those years ago You said it all though not many had ears All those years ago You had control of our smiles and our tears All those years ago

Song: Baltimore Oriole
Lyrics:
Baltimore Oriole Took one look at that mercury, forty below No life for a lady To be draggin' her feathers around in the snow Leaving me blue, off she flew To the Tangipaho - down in Louisiana Where a two - timin' Jaybird Met the divine Miss O I'd like to ruffle his plumage That Baltimore Oriole Messed around with that big guy Till he singed her wings Forgivin' is easy - it's a woman like, now and then Could happen to thing Send her back home Home ain't home without her warbling How she can sing Make a lonely man happy, Baltimore Oriole Come down from that bough Fly to your daddy now.

Song: Teardrops
Lyrics:
Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain. In the heart of the lonely man In and out of love more often where most others can He walks the streets like the losers in some lovers game He talks so sweet but the news is always much the same. Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain. In the eyes of the lonely one Everything is cold and hopeless that he looks upon He needs a friend a lover who can comfort him His deeds offend he knows that he has brought on him. Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain.

Song: That Which I Have Lost
Lyrics:
He's fighting the forces of darkness limitation Falsehood and mortality which bar him The way back into the higher world While his whole being is bewildered He does not know - no law of action Taking refuge inside himself and he's saying I need someone to show me Illumine my consciousness Remove the dark from in me And give me that which I have lost As all had seemed lost a light from Heaven breaking A flash - inward illumination Enriched his life more than any words can tell He stood there, life renewed fresh as rain Scales were falling from his eyes again The bolts of his prison opening - he's saying I found someone who showed me Illumined my consciousness Removed the dark from in me And given me that which I have lost You people don't have time to listen to him You're too busy fighting revolutions That keep you back down in the lower world Your mirrors of understanding they need cleansing Polish away the dust of desire Before pure light will reflect in them You need someone to show you Illumine your consciousness Remove the dark from in you And give you that which you have lost.

Song: Writing's On The Wall
Lyrics:
The writing's on the wall brother Your life is in your hands It's up to you to see the writing's on the wall. It looks you in the eye mister It's time we stand up tall Go see and understand the writing's on the wall. Strange we hold on to things that have no grace or power While death holds on to us much more with every passing hour And all the time you thought it would last Your life, your friends would always be 'Til they're drunk away or shot away or die away from you. There's nothing that you need sister The Lord is in you all Life is designed to see the writing's on the wall. The music's in the air mothers You may have heard it call To you that you may see the writing's on the wall. Be careful going home sister Be watchful down that road You've got a lot of love sister More to grow. The writing's on the wall brothers Your life is in your hands It's up to you to see the writing's on the wall I hope that you may see the writing's on the wall.

Song: Hong Kong Blues
Lyrics:
It's the story of a very unfortunate coloured man Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong He got twenty years' privilege taken away from him When he kicked old Buddha's gong And now he's poppin' the piano just to raise the price Of a ticket to the land of the free Well, he says his home's in 'Frisco where they send the rice But it's really in Tennessee That's why he says I need someone to love me Need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco And bury my body there I need someone to lend me a fifty-dollar bill and then I'll leave Hong Kong far behind me For happiness once again Won't somebody believe I've a yen to see that Bay again Everytime I try to leave Sweet opium won't let me fly away I need someone to love me Need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco And bury my body there That's the story of a very unfortunate coloured man Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong He got twenty years' privilege taken away from him When he kicked old Buddha's gong.

Song: Save The World
Lyrics:
We've got to save the world Someone else may want to use it So far we've seen This planet's rape, how we've abused it We've got to save the world The Russians have the biggest share With their long fingers everywhere And now they've bombs in outer space With laser beams and atomic waste Rain forest chopped for paper towels One acre gone in every hour* Our birds and wildlife all destroyed To keep some millionaires employed We've got to save the whale Greenpeace they've tried to diffuse it But dog food salesmen Persist on kindly to harpoon it We've got to save the world The armament consortium They're selling us plutonium Now you can make your own H-bomb Right in the kitchen with your mom The nuclear power that costs you more Than anything you've known before The half-wit's answer to a need For cancer, death, destruction, greed We've got to save the world Someone's children they may need it So far we've seen The big business of extinction bleed it We've got to save the world We're at the mercy of so few With evil hearts determined to Reduce this planet into hell Then find a buyer and make quick sale To end upon a happy note Like trying to make concrete float Is very simple knowing that God in your heart lives We've got to save the world Someone else may want to use it It's time you knew How close we've come We're gonna lose it - We gotta save, we gotta save We gotta save the world.
