You may high hat me all the time
You may never go my way Mother Earth is waitin' for you That's the debt you got to pay I don't care how great you are Or what you're worth When it all comes down You got to go back to Mother Earth You may own half a city Diamonds and pearls You may have your own airplane You may fly all over this world Don't give a damn what you 're worth When it all comes down You got to go back to Mother Earth Play the horses, baby You may own the race track You may have enough money, To buy anything you lack Don't care how great you are Don't give a damn what you 're worth 'Cause when it all comes down You got to go back to Mother Earth You may high hat me all the time You may never go my way Mother Earth is waitin' for you That's the debt you got to pay I don't care how great you are Or what you're worth When it all comes down You got to go back to Mother Earth |

"My guardian angel wears a hard hat,"
Said the boy with the microphone "Else, I wouldn't be standing here today Ever since I was a young a boy I couldn't leave well enough alone Always trouble standing in my way Up, down, anywhere but in the middle Off the wagon, under the wheel again All or nothing - never could do just a little Never could leave it alone Got to ride that rocking horse Hard living be the death of me Lead me to an early grave To die in the saddle must be my destiny But to ride this rocking horse I must be crazed Good clean fun is just my imagination Down and dirty that's the way the game is played This hard life has caused me aggravation Never could leave it alone Got to ride that rocking horse Can't leave it alone Got to ride that rocking horse |

Last night and the night before
The thunder crowed and the rooster roared I woke up sweating on somebody's floor You know how the story goes The dirty streets, they can be so mean Everybody trying to live so clean Me, I'm stuck here in between And it's a fine line Down on monkey hill Saw a brother screaming on the corner Talkin' 'bout some low down dirty shame And he said, "Gonna get so high that I just don't know my name" Between the buildings and the alleyways That's where the living is done Where the young boys chase the dragon That's where flesh and steel are one Down on monkey hill Saw another brother testifying this morning Talkin' 'bout how he lost everything And he said, "Gonna get so high that I just don't know my name" Everybody's talking shit and jivin' Hard to tell which is which Dealers and healers Businessmen and bankers They all be scratchin' that itch Down on monkey hill Saw another brother testifying this evening Talkin' 'bout how he left his soul in denang And he said, "Gonna get so high that I just don't know my name" Gonna get so high I don't know my name Down on monkey hill |

'cause I'm falling in deeper - darkness, my old friend I'm in deeper - stay with me till the end deeper - you know I got no restraint I'm in deeper |

Say you try
But you just can't help your self Wanna feel special Man wanna make you feel like everybody else Take away your freedom Strip away your pride Say you know you weren't born With the blue blood son So take your place in line Where's my mule? Where's my forty acres Where's my dream Mr Emancipator Live this way Might as well meet my maker Where's my mule? Where's my mule? I say trust me But you say it's too much bother Yeah, the way the man try to beat you down Make you wanna kill your brother So go on and bust me For what's in my mason jar Yeah, I owes my soul To the company store How I'm doing so far? Where's my mule? Where's my forty acres Where's my dream Mr Emancipator Live this way Might as well meet my maker Where's my mule? Where's my mule? Where's my mule? Where's my forty acres Where's my dream Mr Emancipator Live this way Might as well meet my maker Where's my, my, my, my, my, my mule? |

In the painted silver light
I watched you gently move Now, in the cold early dawn I long to have that vision in my head again Conjure, as I may, my guilt won't let me sleep Now I know what it means To have and to hold To let go and to lose [Chorus:] In the screaming silence I try to lose myself But there is no hiding place No hiding place Here they come again Those voices, they'll be with me till the end Maybe it helps the pain How would I know? I never slow down long enough But, ain't life funny I don't know if I will ever see you again But, in the painted silver light I watched you And I'll keep on watching you [Chorus x2] Seven days I watched the sun come rising No sleep for the wicked Seven nights I lie awake While my mind drifted across valley and streams Shadows everywhere Still I search for some kind of sign But, in the painted silver light I'll come running Running [Chorus x2] |

I like my summer home
Love my yuppie job Got a cellular phone in my brand new saab I love my wife and my girlfriend too I just love myself You're gonna love me too Came out west to find myself Did the maharishi squat on the continental shelf Got a groovy set of morals And an Elvis Presley do I'll swap my wife for yours Anything for you Got to stay away from the left coast groovies Living their lives like a cheesy movie The wrap around shades and the air-head cuties Got a new-age stench because he traded his pachuli Can the wicked feed the hungry? Can the children teach the old? About a new way, a revolution We're moving backwards, out of control Out of control, out of control Came out west to find myself Did the maharishi squat on the continental shelf Got a groovy set of morals And an Elvis Presley do I'll swap my wife for yours Anything for you Got to stay away from the left coast groovies Living their lives like a cheesy movie The wrap around shades and the air-head cuties Got a new-age stench because he traded his pachuli [repeat] |

Black and white, it's all the same
Good and evil - pieces in a medieval game Black shoot black, white take all Color will be our downfall Blood runs red And it's all the same So tell me what you see When you look at me Close your eyes, you'll see A world of difference World of difference I hate you 'cause you hated my fathers You hate him - his fathers raped your daughters Hate breeds fear, fear breeds sin Survival is your only friend When we die We're all the same So tell me what you see When you look at me Close your eyes, you'll see A world of difference World of difference There's a clock on the wall And it's angry and bleeding A world in pain Lashes out like children What can we do? We're too young to know Brother, get down on your knees Too late to cry - too late to beg me please So, tell me what you see When you look at me Close your eyes, you'll see A world of difference World of difference |
