Hey Kid, wanna have some fun?
Choose a side and here's your gun Brought up knowing right from wrong, Squash the meek, inherit the strong Just try and cross the line, Don't even bother to waste my time What's that look in your eyes? It's time I cut you down to size This world ain't big enough for two, And I've got my sights on you WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE, I'M A WARHEAD, YOU'RE A WARHEAD A WARHEAD JUST LIKE ME? HE'S A WARHEAD, SHE'S A WARHEAD WATCH 'EM SCREAM 'N YELL WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE, A WARHEAD TOO WHEN I BLOW THEM STRAIGHT TO HELL Ramboy, it's us and them Just like your Daddy in Vietnam Monkey see, Monkey do, Your boy's grown up Just like you This world ain't Big enough for two And I've got my Eye on you [CHORUS] I've seen Black heads, White heads, Red heads, Dead heads, Big heads, Shit heads, But, there's no heads Like WARHEADS! 02. Rest in Peace
Let's talk of peace,
Sounds so cliche A novelty, catch phrase of the day Middle, index, Sign of the time Just as complex, As water to... Someone said give peace a chance And, that's all that we're saying While we're sitting on the fence Pretending, Our hearts are in the right place But, your face Shows a trace of, Hypocrisy, Don't tread on me, Now you can see MAKE LOVE NOT WAR, SOUNDS SO ABSURD, TO ME WE CAN'T AFFORD TO SAY THESE WORDS, LIGHTLY OR ELSE OUR WORLD, WILL TRULY, REST IN PEACE Let's not pretend, To justify Rather amend, Where treasures lie Straight through the heart, Peace can be found That's where you start, Not all around Someone said give peace a chance And, that's all that we're saying While we're sitting on the fence Pretending, Our hearts are in the right place But, your face Shows a trace of, Hypocrisy, Don't tread on me, boy Now you can see 03. Politicalamity
Wars 'n rumors
Of wars, no one knows what for Toys and soldiers Deployed, on some foreign shore Lords and rulers Destroy, diplomatic rapport Communists, dictatorships Democracies, hypocrisies Ask not what your country can do? To a one world governmental zoo POLITICAL, POLITICAL POLITICALAMITY IT'S AN-AR-CHY POLITICAL, POLITICAL POLITICALAMITY Rich 'n poor Salute your country's colors Less is more When one oppresses the other Pride 'n power Decorated upon collars Donkeys, bears 'n elephants All paper-trained on parliament Ask not what your country can do? To a one world governmental zoo 04. Color Me Blind
I had a dream,
Last night I was blind And I couldn't see Color of any kind Picture the world, minus a rainbow When day becomes night, then where will the sun go Dancing alone, just me and my shadow Color me blind, so I can see no evil WHY DO WE DREAM, IN BLACK AND WHITE? COLOR ME BLIND WHY DO WE DREAM IN BLACK AND WHITE? COLOR ME BLIND I had a dream, I was looking, over the mountain But I've, I've yet to see the, The so-called promised land Picture the world, Without any color You couldn't tell, One face from the other I don't understand Why we fight with our brother Color me blind Just to love one another Color me, color you, COLOR ME BLIND 05. Cupid's Dead
-You read the papers today?-
I read the news today oh boy, About a tragic comedy Newspaper hinted suicide, The letterhead read Dear Johnny A tainted truth was all it said, Sleep tight now that you've made your bed An arrow that once pierced your heart Points to the apple on your head Three sides to every story Yours, mine And, Monday morning's CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ, CUPID'S DEAD CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ, CUPID'S DEAD Oh, Romeo, Oh, Romeo Where did our love go, Romeo? If you read between the headlines, You wouldn't be the last to know No mystery yet to unfold, A paperboy left in the cold A love was said to never die, Withered away and just got old "Our top story tonight, Is a crime of passion The victim, an unidentified man, Is found in bed, wearing only a diaper, Holding a bow an arrow in one hand, And clutching a letter in the other. The letter simply read ... CUPID'S DEAD." Extra, extra, extra, Read all about it CUPID'S DEAD, Cupid is dead, deceased, I got peace of mind Still it's hard to forget, What it leaves behind A lot of love lost, Your feelings are wasted, Tasted the sweetness, But now you're faced with, The thought, of being alone Nor more companionship, You can handle it, Just abandon it, Leave it behind, And look for the brighter day Give it some time, Cause it won't come right away You gotta be standing strong, Hold on to your dignity Don't sit around, Saying look what ya did to me It's time to move on, You gotta continue To look for a love, Of a life that's within you Cupid is dead now, It's time to rely on, Yourself to cope You got no shoulder to cry on DEAD 06. Peacemaker Die
PEACEMAKER DIE,
Mr. Righteous One You say you have this plan? If we care to understand PEACEMAKER DIE, Mr. Nice Guy You dare to speak the truth? I'll twist and turn it into lies Blessed are the warmongers, Blessed are the warmongers For they shall be called, Man-made Gods PEACEMAKER DIE, PEACEMAKER DIE, PEACEMAKER DIE, I DON'T KNOW WHY? PEACEMAKER DIE, PEACEMAKER DIE, PEACEMAKER DIE, PEACEMAKER DIE, PEACEMAKER DIE, I DON'T KNOW WHY? PEACEMAKER DIE, Mr. Goody Two Do you really thing the world Can be Black, White, and Jew? PEACEMAKER DIE, Mr. Music Man Don't turn your back on me? Cause I'm the one with the gun Blessed are the warmongers, Blessed are the warmongers, For they shall be called, Sons of God I have a dream this afternoon, That the brotherhood of man, Will become a reality In this day, with this faith, I will go out and, Carve the tunnel of hope, Through the mountain of despair With this faith, I will go out with you and, Transform dark yesterdays Into bright tomorrows With this faith, We will be able to achieve This new day When all of God's children, Black men and white men, Jews and gentiles, Protestants and Catholics Will be able to join hands And sing with the negroes, In the spiritual of old Free at last, free at last, Thank God almighty, We're free at last. Speech - Martin Luther King - Jr. 07. Seven Sundays

We'll find the time To spend, together Until then, My Love IF I HAD ONE WISH IT WOULDN'T BE HARD TO CHOOSE SEVEN SUNDAYS IN A ROW CAUSE THAT'S THE DAY THAT I SPEND WITH YOU Someday soon, You and I Will hold each other Once again, My Love IF I HAD ONE WISH IT WOULDN'T BE HARD TO CHOOSE SEVEN SUNDAYS IN A ROW SEVEN SUNDAYS IN A ROW SEVEN SUNDAYS IN A ROW CAUSE THAT'S THE DAY THAT I SPEND WITH YOU If I had one wish It wouldn't be hard to choose 08. Tragic Comic
Flowers, I sent,
Were found dead on their arrival The words, I said, Inserted foot in my mouthful So when, we dance, My lead it ain't so graceful (Isn't so, not ain't so) I'M A HAPLESS ROMANTIC ST-T-TUTTERING P-POET JUST CALL ME A TRAGIC COMIC CAUSE I'M, IN, IN LOVE WITH YOU And when, we dine, I forget to push in your seat I wear, the wine, Spilling hearts all over my sleeve A stitch, in time, Proposing down on my knees (Splitting between the seams) I'M A HAPLESS ROMANTIC ST-T-TUTTERING P-POET JUST CALL ME A TRAGIC COMIC CAUSE I'M, IN, IN LOVE WITH YOU Nobody, can know the, Trouble I've, seen Nobody, can know the, Trouble I, get into, When I'm with you 09. Our Father
Oh Daddy please,
Take me with you Where you going Oh Daddy please, Come find the time, Come watch us growing Oh Daddy please, Don't leave there's so Much that we want to Know before you go I'm in need of someone To tie my shoe, Or take hold of my hand When I become afraid And whose footsteps Will I follow into, Daddy please, Don't run away OUR FATHER FAR FATHER WELL LET ME TELL YOU 'BOUT OUR FATHER FAR FARTHER AWAY... Oh Daddy please, I pray every night The doors will open Oh Daddy please, This house is just A broken home, Left all alone 10. Stop the World
All the world's
A masquerade Made up of fools And philosophers Were it to rain On our charade, All washes away, Except for our true colors If any people bothered Looking for truth, please, STOP THE WORLD From spinning 'round Instead we choose to follow Footsteps of fools, please STOP THE WORLD From spinning 'round If nothing's new under the sun For me and you Won't somebody please... STOP THE WORLD STOP THE WORLD I WANNA GET OFF STOP THE WORLD STOP THE WORLD WHERE THERE IS LOVE If we forget Yesterday, We're bound to repeat it Tomorrow It's not too late To start today, Better off safe, Than sorry Do unto those as you would Do to yourselves, please, STOP THE WORLD From spinning 'round We need more feet to walk In one another's shoes, please STOP THE WORLD From spinning 'round There's nothing new Under the sun For me and you, Won't somebody please... 11. God Isn't Dead?
Ah, look at all
The lonely people, Losing faith, In a world Full of despair, No one who cares, Wondering where GOD disappeared I, see the pain In everybody's faces Asking why, The GOD up in the sky, Didn't say goodbye, Please tell me, GOD didn't die PLEASE TELL ME GOD ISN'T DEAD PLEASE TELL ME GOD ISN'T DEAD PLEASE TELL ME GOD ISN'T I WANT TO KNOW IF HE'S TELL ME GOD ISN'T PLEASE TELL ME GOD ISN'T DEAD I WANT TO KNOW 12. I Rise 'N Shine
Dawn wakes the silence,
Of a fainted lullaby Day breaks the eyelid, From a song sung in my eye Night rests in peace, As the sun mourns the sky All's accounted for sheep, Over a horizon's I RISE, RISE 'N SHINE A NEW DAY IS COMING RISE, RISE IN TIME FOR EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN And when you see, A south wind blow Forecasting, you will know, A hot day, will be on the way (Foolish one) You analyze, The earth and the sky I ask you why, You can't analyze the signs, Of the present time I had a dream, Not unlike the one from old Of a man king, Whose head was made of gold Stand castles of sand Weather the sundials rise 'n fall Chasing wind through your hands, 'Til water runs dry the well DREAM, DANIEL, DREAM FOR WHAT'S YET TO COME SEE, DANIEL, SEE FOR EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN And in the West, A cloud appears For shadows of A coming shower near, Oh, so near (Hypocrites) You analyze, The earth and the sky I ask you why, You can't analyze the signs, Of the present time Vanity, Yes, all is vanity Vanity, Yes, all's futility For one that dies, Another's born Where laughter's heard, Comforters mourn There's a time for Everything A song for love, Even abhor An olive branch, Or winter's war There's a time for EVERYTHING, UNDER THE SUN 13. II Am I Ever Gonna Change
I'm tired of being me,
And I don't like what I see, I'm not who I appear to be So I start off every day, Down on my knees I will pray, For a change in any way But as the day goes by, I live through another lie, If it's any wonder why AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME IF I SAY ONE THING, THEN I DO THE OTHER IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG, THAT GOES ON FOREVER AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE I'M THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME WHEN I THINK I'M RIGHT, I WIND UP WRONG IT'S A FUTILE FIGHT, GONE ON TOO LONG Please tell me if it's true, Am I too old to start anew, Cause that's what I want to do But time and time again, When I think I can, I fall short in the end So why do I even try, Will it matter when I die, Can anyone hear my cry? AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE TAKE IT DAY BY DAY MY WILL IS WEAK AND MY FLESH TOO STRONG THIS PEACE I SEEK TILL THY KINGDOM COMES 14. III Who Cares?
Tell me, Jesus,
Are you angry? One more sheep has, Just gone astray A hardening of hearts, Turning to stone Wandering off, So far from home So many children, Losing time Walk in darkness, Looking for a sign Chasing their rainbows, The future looks so bright Slowly we're losing, Sight of the light WHO CARES? WHO CARES? WHO CARES? TELL ME WHO CARES? WHO CARES? All alone, Out in the cold Can't look back, Am I growing old I chose a path, Is this my fate Am I finding out, The truth too late [CHORUS] Here I am, A naked man Nothing to hide With empty hands Remember me, I am the one Who lost his way, Your Prodigal Son WHO CARES? WHO CARES? WHO CARES? TELL ME WHO CARES? WHO CARES? AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME SAY ONE THING THEN I DO THE OTHER SAME OLD SONG GOES ON FOREVER RISE, RISE 'N SHINE A NEW DAY IS COMING YES IT IS! |
