01. Song Without Sin

Music by Living Colour
Your more interesting when your lying
What ever your selling I ain't buying
If theres someone out their without
Let them cast the first stone
If theres someone out their without sin
We can all go home

I don't believe in what your preaching
And you can't council what I'm feeling
If theres someone out their without sin
We can all go home

Let's go out tonight
We can hide in plain sight
We can change our names, and never go home
And we'll never see the sun
If theres someone out their without it
Let them cast the first stone
If theres someone out there without sin
We can all go home

If theres someone out their without it
Let them cast the first stoned
If theres someone out there without sin
We can all go home
We can all go home
We can all go home
We can all go home

02. A ? Of When

Music by Living Colour
Where will we go, where will we go?
Where will we go, how will we know?
Where can we hide, Where can we hide?
Where can we hide, from the inside?
Where will we go, where will we go?
Where will we go, how will we know?
Where can we hide, Where can we hide?
Where can we hide, from the inside?

See I don't have a clue, I don't have a clue,
I don't have a clue and neither do.
I don't have a clue, I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue, And neither do, YOU!

Who will be next, who will it be?
Who will be next, will it be me?
Who will be next, who will it be?
Who will be next, it won't be me?

See I don't have a clue, I don't have a clue,
I don't have a clue and neither do.
I don't have a clue, I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue, And neither do, YOU!

Who do you love, who do you hate?
Who do you love, who's at the gate?
Who do you love, who do you hate?
Who do you love, who's at the gate?
Did it happen again, did it happen again?
Did it happen again, not a question of if but a question of when?

See I don't have a clue, I don't have a clue,
I don't have a clue and neither do.
I don't have a clue, I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue, And neither do,
I don't have a clue, I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue, And neither do,
I don't have a clue, I don't have a clue
I don't have a clue, And neither do, YOU!!!

03. Operation: Mind Control

Music by Living Colour
A day of repetition, in this shadow factory
It doesn't look much like freedom to me
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control

Just try on this straight jacket, of conformity
While we force feed you propaganda, on the state tv
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul

Your under 24 hour surveillance
By the satellite spies
We'll always be watched by
The all seeing eye

In God we Trust (What's the matter with youx2)[Behold a pale Horse!]
In God we Trust (What's the matter with youx2)[Behold Oblivion]
In God we Trust (What's the matter with you, this is mind control)
In God we Trust (You better get behind, get in line,)
It's death in repetition.

The shadow factory
Doesn't look much like living to me
It's operation mind control,
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control,
It's the battle for America's soul(rise up)

Now put on this straight jacket of conformity
Fault of a nation, that's brought biology(?)
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul

04. Flying

Music by Living Colour
I jumped out the window to get to the parking lot
I'm writing this little song on my way down
Never in my life have a thought I heat so hot
I had to get out

Such a lovely day to go flying
The sky's so clear, the sun is shining
Faith has given me wings
Such a terrible funny thing

I was gathering up my nerve to ask out Carmen
She glanced out the window
Oh my God
The room ... now ... holding ...

Just (?) the way I planed

Such a lovely day to go flying
The sky's so clear, the sun is shining
Faith has given me wings
Such a terrible funny thing
Funny thing

I jumped out the window to get to the parking lot
I'm writing this little song on my way down

Such a lovely day to go flying
The sky's so clear, the sun is shining
Faith has given me wings
Such a terrible funny thing
Funny thing
Such a funny thing
Funny thing
Funny thing
Such a terrible funny thing

05. In Your Name

Music by Living Colour
We've got missiles and tanks
We've got bombs and planes
We've got plans and people
And we do it in your name

We've got our anger and rage
To send you back from where you came
We are hurting you to heal you
And we're doin' it in your name

We've got missiles and tanks
We've got bombs and planes
We've got plans and people
And we do it in your name

We're the righteous and true
You're the unholy, profane
We are fighting for your freedom
And we do it in your name

We've got missiles and tanks
We've got bombs and planes
We've got plans and people
And we do it in your name, yeah

We are the victims of privilege
You're the one to blame
We hate you, you hate us
We all feel the same

We've got missiles and tanks
We've got bombs and planes
We've got plans and people
And we do it in your name, yeah

06. Back In Black

Music by Living Colour
Lyrics by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Brian Johnson
Back in black, I hit the sack,
I've been too long, I'm glad to be back
Yes I'm let loose from the noose,
That's kept me hangin' about
I been livin like a star 'cause it's gettin' me high,
Forget the hearse, 'cause I never die
I got nine lives, cat's eyes
Abusing every one of them and running wild

'Cause I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm baaack, baaack...
Well, I'm back in black,
Yes, I'm back in black!

Back in a band,i got Cadillac,
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
Yes I'm in a band with a gang
They gotta catch me if they want me to hang
'Cause I'm back on the track and I'm beatin' the flack,
Nobody's gonna get me on another trap
So look at me now, I'm just a makin' my pay,
Don't try to push your luck, just get outta my way

'Cause I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Yeah, I'm back!
Well, I'm baaack, baaack...
Well, I'm back in black,
Yes, I'm back in black!
Let's go!

Well, I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm baaack, baaack...
Well, I'm back in black,
Yes, I'm back in black-ow!

Aww yeah! Let's go!
Keep on goin'! Yeah yeah!
Yeah... aww yeah yeah!
Here we go!

Well, I'm baaack... (I'm back!)
Baaack... (Well, I'm back!)
Baaack... (I'm back!)
Baaack... (I'm back!)

Nobody knows the trouble she see

08. Lost Halo

Music by Living Colour
How (di)d you come to live on ... angel?
You feel this place with timeless ...
You blind us .... heaven ...
Without your wings ... to fly

Through the night

Where (di)d you leave your halo angel?
Is it underneath the devil's bed?
Did you lose it among the stars?
Or is it circling my heart?
Torn apart

....
Where angels feel the same
Your warning and your sign ... be mine
Be mine
Be mine

Where will you go when you leave my angel?
To the .... or to heaven's gate
But when ... sees that look...
.... in your eye
Will it tell you ... that it's much too late

Is it much too late?
Angel
Is it much too late?

Where are you going?
Don't you leave
I love
I love
I love You
Ohh
Don't you go
Please don't you go
Please, please don't you go
don't you
don't you go
don't you go
don't you go

Please don't go

Angel
Angel
Please, please, please don't go

09. Holy Roller

Music by Living Colour
Sometimes i don´t no know where i´m going
Sometimes i don´t where i´ve bean
Sometimes i´ts feels like the beginning
Sometimes i feels just like the end.

But the morning star will light my way
Come on Holy Roller- wash my sins away

Sometimes i get so tired
Sometimes i just want to give on up
Sometimes i want to lay my burdens down
Sometimes just ain´t enough

But the morning star will light my way
Come on Holy Roller- wash my sins away

Sometimes i fell like i´m on the road to haven
Sometimes i fell like i´m going somewhere else
Sometimes i´m searching for someone
All the time i find myself

But the morning star will light my way
Come on Holy Roller- wash my sins away

12. Pocket Of Tears

Music by Living Colour
Lyrics by Will Calhoun, Corey Glover, Vernon Reid, Doug Wimbish
Stars shine when no one is watching
I scream and nobody hears
I've hurt and cried and made my way
And no one has to see my tears

And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground
And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground

I've lived and died and nobody noticed
My suffering is nobody's blame
Love and hate forever existed
Everyday it's all just the same

And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground
And the world spins around and around
They put you in the cold, cold ground

Throwing stones in a pocket of tears
Throwing stones in a pocket of tears
Throwing stones in a pocket of tears

I caught myself having nothing
Caught myself having nothing, nothing
Caught myself having nothing
Caught myself having nothing, nothing at all

Flowers will still bloom without
The sun will shine when you're gone
The wind will blow on without her
And we still will all go on and on
And on and on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on

And the world spins around and around
And the world spins around and around
Throwing stones, throwing stones and on

13. Sacred Ground

Music by Living Colour
How many times must we tell them
are they never gonna learn

How many times must we tell them
are they never gonna learn
This is sacred ground, sacred ground

How many times must we tell them
are they never gonna learn
This is sacred ground, sacred ground

For all those trying to make a stand,
Fighting to save their
Tribal land, for all those trying to make a stand,
Dying to protect their tribal land
For all those dying to protect their tribal land

Rainbow warriors, Chico Mendez
All the dissidents that they tried to suppress

How many more martyrs
Must there be will this be our poisoned
legacy how many times must us tell them
are they never gonna learn
This is sacred ground, sacred ground
How many times we must tell them
are they never gonna learn
This sacred ground, sacred ground

For those who lie before the bulldozers
and chainsaws
Battling the devouring megacorps
Here they come with their cash draws grins
Vampires, parasites and vermin

How many times must we tell you
are they never gonna learn
This sacred ground, sacred ground
How many times must we tell you
are you never gonna learn
This sacred ground, sacred ground

How many times
How many times

14. Tomorrow Never Knows

Music by Living Colour
Lyrics by Lennon-McCartney
Turn off your mind, relax
And float down stream
It is not dying
It is not dying

Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shining

That you may see
The meaning of within
It is being
It is being

That love is all
And love is everyone
It is knowing
It is knowing

That ignorance and hate
May mourn the dead
It is believing
It is believing

But listen to the
Color of your dreams
It is not living
It is not living

Or play the game
Existence to the end
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
Of the beginning
