Lyrics

Hey, Batter
Swing!
I’ve got a soul
That can not sleep
At night when something
Just ain’t right
Blood red
But without sight
Exploding egos
In the night
Mix like sticks
Of dynamite
Red black or white
This is my fight
Come on courage
Let’s be heard
Turn feelings
Into words
American equality
Has always been sour
An attitude
I would like to devour
My name is peace
This is my hour
Can I get
Just a little bit of power

The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equality

Right or wrong
My song is strong
You don’t like it
Get along
Say what I want
Do what I can
Death to the message
Of the Ku Klux Klan
I don’t buy supremacy
Media chief
You menace me
The people you say
Cause all the crime
Wake up motherfucker
And smell the slime
Blackest anger
Whitest fear
Can you hear me
Am I clear
My name is peace
This is my hour
Can I get
Just a little bit of power

The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equality

I’ve got tapes
I’ve got c. d.’s
I’ve got my Public Enemy
My lilly white ass
Is tickled pink
When I listen to the music
That makes me think
Not another
Motherfuckin’ politician
Doin’ nothin’ but something
For his own ambition
Never touch
The sound we make
Soul sacred love
Vows that we take
To create straight
What is true
Yo he’s with me
And what I do
My name is peace
This is my hour
Can I get
Just a little bit of power

The power of equality
Is not yet what it ought to be
It fills me up like a hollow tree
The power of equality

Madder than a motherfucker
Lick my finger
Can’t forget
‘Cause the memory lingers
Count ‘em off quick
Little Piccadilly sickness
Take me to the hick
Eat my thickness
I’ve got a welt
From the Bible belt
Dealing with the hand
That I’ve been dealt
Sitting in the grip
Of a killing fist
Giving up blood
Just to exist
Rub me wrong
And I get pissed
No I can not
Get to this
People in pain
I do not dig it
Change of brain
For Mr. Bigot

Little brother do you hear me?
Have a heart oh come get near me
Misery is not my friend
But I’ll break before I bend
What I see is insanity
Whatever happened to humanity

Lyrics

The night is black, without a moon.
The air is thick and still.
The vigilantes gather on
The lonely torchlit hill.

Features distorted in the flickering light,
Faces are twisted and grotesque.
Silent and stern in the sweltering night,
The mob moves like demons possesed.
Quiet in conscience, calm in their right,
Confident their ways are best.

The righteous rise
With burning eyes
Of hatred and ill-will.
Madmen fed on fear and lies
To beat and burn and kill.

They say there are strangers who threaten us,
Our immigrants and infidels.
They say there is strangeness to danger us
In our theatres and bookstore shelves,
That those who know what’s best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves.

Quick to judge,
Quick to anger,
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand.

Lyrics

Grim-faced and forbidding,
Their faces closed tight,
An angular mass of New Yorkers
Pacing in rhythm,
Race the oncoming night,
They chase through the streets of Manhattan.
Headfirst humanity,
Pause at a light,
Then flow through the streets of the city.

They seem oblivious
To a soft spring rain,
Like an English rain
So light, yet endless
From a leaden sky.

The buildings are lost in the limitless rise.
My feet catch the pulse and the purposeful stride.

I feel the sense of possibilities,
I feel the wrench of hard realities.
The focus is sharp in the city.

Wide-angle watcher
On life’s ancient tales,
Steeped in the history of London.

Mist in the streets of Westminster.
Wistful and weathered,
The pride still prevails,
Alive in the streets of the city.

Are they oblivious
To this quality?
A quality
Of light unique to
Every city’s streets.

Pavements may teem with intense energy,
But the city is calm in this violent sea.

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages

These bandages cover more than scrapes, cuts and bruises from regrets and mistakes
I’ve been hoping your moping around the street again
I’ve been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap
I’ve been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made
These bandages are anonymity
I’ve been shaking from making an awful decision
I’ve been running and running
feels like my head is spinning round and round, around, around, around, around, around

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages

I’ve been hoping your moping around the street again
I’ve been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap
I’ve been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made
For you, of you, let’s see what needles do
I’ve been shaking from making an awful decision
I’ve been thinking I’m drinking too many drinks all by myself
I’ve been running and running
Feels like my head is spinning round and round, around, around, around, around, around

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Bandages, bandages, bandages

Don’t worry now, don’t worry now, don’t worry cause it’s all under control
Don’t worry now, don’t worry now, don’t worry cause it’s all under control
Don’t worry now, don’t worry now, don’t worry cause it’s all under control
Don’t worry now, don’t worry now, don’t worry cause it’s all under control
Don’t worry now, don’t worry now, don’t worry cause it will all turn around,
around, around, around, around, around, around, around

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Bandages, bandages, bandages

Lyrics

Father can you hear me?
How have I let you down?
I curse the day that I was born
And all the sorrow in this world

Let me take you to the herding ground
Where all good men are trampled down
Just to settle a bet that could not be won
Between a prideful father and his son

Will you guide me now for I can’t see
A reason for the suffering and this long misery
What if every living soul could be upright and strong?
Well then I do imagine

There will be sorrow
Yeah, there will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow no more

When all soldiers lay their weapons down
Or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crowns
Or when the only true messiah rescues us from ourselves
It’s easy to imagine

There will be sorrow
Yeah, there will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow no more

There will be sorrow
Yeah, there will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow no more

Yeah, there will be sorrow
Yeah, there will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow no more

Lyrics

A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today’s Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride.

Though his mind is not for rent,
Don’t put him down as arrogant.
His reserve, a quiet defense,
Riding out the day’s events.
The river

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his eyes are wide.

Today’s Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.

No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
He knows changes aren’t permanent,
But change is.

And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the witness, catch the wit,
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his skies are wide.

Exit the warrior,
Today’s Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day.

Lyrics

You’re no rock n’ roll fun
Like a party that’s over
Before it’s begun
You’re no walk in the park
More like a shot in the dark
With clues left for no one

And all the boys in the band
Know how to get down
Fill our Christmas socks
With whiskey drinks
And chocolate bars
And when the evening ends we won’t
Be thinking of you then
Although the best man
Won’t hang out with the girl band!

You’re no rock n’ roll fun
Like a piece of art
That no one can touch
Your head is always up in the clouds
Writing your songs
Won’t you ever come down?

And all the boys in the band
Know how to get down
Fill our Christmas socks
With whiskey drinks
And chocolate bars
And when the evening ends we won’t
Be thinking of you then
Even if your song
Is playing on the jukebox

You wanna party with the lights on
Come on I like it dark!
You always wanna hear the same old song
Come on play another song!

You’re no rock n’ roll fun

Lyrics

Down fell the stars, as they
Splashed into the sea
“Mi nomine Baphomet”
Come dance with me
Sacrifice the virgins
Spiritual rites
Their master’s time has come
The moon is full tonight

Drinking, dancing
They worship, and toast
The devil, who’s watching
With demon’s remote
Fire, rising
Racing in your blood
Possessed, naive
His service is done

Bloody blasphemy

Sinister’s the word
As the demon’s take their fill
An orgy’s taking place
Human blood will spill
An act of worship
As they conceive the ghouls
Satan has their souls
They sing pagan tunes
The ceremony
Is sure to be cursed
They ask for his blessings
But, down comes the worst
Their bodies, soulless
A corpse from the grave
Their minds are helpless
And, no-one can save [x 5]
No-one can save them (oh no). [x 2]

Lyrics

Breathe in for luck
Breathe in so deep
This air is blessed
You share with me
This night is wild
So calm and dull
These hearts they race
From self control
Your legs are smooth
As they graze mine
We’re doing fine
We’re doing nothing at all

My hopes are so high
That your kiss might kill me
So won’t you kill me
So I die happy
My heart is yours to fill or burst
To break or bury
Or wear as jewelery
Which ever you prefer

The words are hushed:
“Let’s not get busted”
Just lay entwined here
Undiscovered
Safe in here from
All the stupid questions
“Hey did you get some?”
Man, that is so dumb
Stay quiet, stay near
Stay close they can’t hear
So we can get some

My hopes are so high
That your kiss might kill me
So won’t you kill me
So I die happy
My heart is yours
To fill or burst
To break or bury
Or wear as jewelery
Whichever you prefer

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember
I’ll always remember the sound of the stereo
The dim of the soft lights
The scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
And the time on the clock when we realized it’s so late
And this walk that we shared together
The streets were wet
And the gate was locked so I jumped it
And I let you in
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
And you kissed me like you meant it
And I knew that you meant it
That you meant it
That you meant it
And I knew
That you meant it
That you meant it
