Man Against Man
02:10
|
|||
Well everyone's looking for someone to blame
That's how you play the political game
The country splits into a great divide
If you can't beat 'em then you're on the wrong side
Ever since the world began
It's been Man Against Man
It's a rich man's game and a poor fool's loss
When you profit from war, you don't count the cost
the noose is tied around your throat
But they'll let you live if they can have your vote
Ever since the world began
It's been Man Against Man
Keep off the grass, can't you read the sign
All this fussing and fighting over an imaginary line
The lines are blurred between wrong and right
Would you rather be black or white
Well to err is human and I can forgive
All the corruption and greed with which we're forced to live
In God we trust, how great a debtor
We're no worse and you're no better
Ever since the world began
It's been man against man

Winsome

Winsome with two different colored eyes
My mistakes have made you wise
to the heart that's slumberin'
Imprisoned by the chains that drag us down
It's live and die in this damn town
I can't stop from wanderin'
I remember sleeping in a cradle
I remember crawling under the table
Did we get big or did the world get small
Now Mr. Bush is painting portraits of us all
Bang your head against a wall
I remember falling out of bed
I remember music in my head
I remember finding you beside me
I remember needing you to guide me
I remember the day I let you know
I remember you said you had to go

Apollo
02:40
|
|||
So they say you made the grade
Guess I'll see you in the trades
You know, I'd hate to follow you
Does my envy swallow you
Always unassuming
A regular superhuman
And what would Apollo do
Would his envy swallow you
You've been perched high on your soapbox
Pledging your love for classic rock
but you don't know the words to Revolution
or Rock N Roll Ain't Noise Pollution
If I were to follow through
Would your envy swallow you
And what would Apollo do
Tell me what would Apollo do

On The Road
03:23
|

I'm out on the road
Reading up on the dead sea scroll
Driving through cities
Driving through towns
Never looking back
Never slowing down
I'm out on the road
Wearing out the soul
Viewing the vast ever-changing skies
through my more or less American eyes
Why don't I know what I want
Why can't I paint you the pictures in my mind
These voices only seem to taunt
The false illusions and perversions
that are driving me blind
Carry me away
Catch another wave
Carry me away
I can't face another day
I'm out on the road
Disregarding the fire code
Playing my songs
making bank
but every dollar winds up in the gas tank
Why can't they appreciate
All the time that it takes to procrastinate
And when they open the flood gate
I'll say good riddance to the burden of fate
Carry me away
Catch another wave
Carry me away
I can't face another day
Wake up from a bad dream
Wish you were high
Wonder why the whole damn world
Has passed you by
Passed you by
Passed you by
Passed you by

When I'm Alone
02:32
|
|||
When I'm alone I often ask myself
why can't I do things quite as neatly
as everyone else
It's hard to admit
when we're in the harvest of our years
Wasting the day
swimming in harbors full of tears
When I'm alone
I'm loving you
I love you
Like you told me to
When I'm alone
When I'm alone I often ask myself
Am I wasting time
trying to appeal to everyone else
It's hard to admit
when you're passed your salad days
But given time
We'll find our way out of this maze
When I'm Alone
I'm loving you
I love you
like you told me to
When I'm Alone
Nobody calls me
Nobody writes
But I don't mind sleeping alone tonight
When I'm alone
I'm loving you
there's nothing more
that I can do
When I'm Alone

Beds on Fire
04:26
|
|||
Speak not of what you want
Own up to what you need
Take it from the man
with the world in his hands
Over seven billion hungry mouths to feed
Once you were in it
But now you're just tired
You need to sleep
But your bed's on fire
Highly regarded
often admire
You want to sleep
But your bed's on fire
Born of a fading light
Died by your own free will
Try and understand
It's all part of the plan
All we got is each other
and time to kill

Bottom of The World
03:07
|
|||
So I lost my head again
And I don't know where it went
I don't know where it went
I think I could use a friend
But I don't know where they went
I don't know where they went
I'm working my way up
To the bottom of the world
I'm working my way up
to the bottom of the world
Fancy meeting you there
Hell yeah
I put my foot in my mouth again
(fragile mind and a tell tale heart
where it begins ain't where it starts)
I was talking to myself
I was talking to myself
I thought you were my friend
(a pick-me-up when shit goes down
don't bat an eye when I split town)
I was talking to myself
I was talking to myself
I'm working my way up
To the bottom of the world
I'm working my way up
to the bottom of the world
Fancy meeting you there
(Lately you've been on my mind
My ears are burning please be kind)
Hell yeah

The Way I Roll
03:21
|
|||
Down on a street called Heartache
I made my first mistake
And it won't be the last
Time is mostly what I'm wasting
Money is the honey that I'm tasting
Help me forget the past
If you're ever all alone
Look elsewhere 'cause I'm all gone
I wanna live it up
With a big brass cup
Filled to the brim
Don't mess around with Slim
Aye I won't slow down
It's all over town
something you can't control
And that's the way I roll
Home is a warmer climate
Throw in a line to rhyme it
Help me forget the past
If you need a helping hand
Sorry babe I can't meet demand
