Lyrics

You!
Why do they always send the poor!
Barbarisms by Barbaras
With pointed heels
Victorious victorious kneel
For brand new spankin’ deals
Marching forward hypocritic
And hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth

La la la la la la la la la la

Everybody’s going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine

Kneeling roses disappearing,
Into Moses’ dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox,
Stealing our intentions

Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

la la la la la la la la la la

Everybody’s going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine

Everybody’s going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine

Blast off!
It’s party time
And we don’t live in a fascist nation
Blast off!
It’s party time
And where the fuck are you?

Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?

Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?

Kneeling roses disappearing,
Into Moses’ dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox,
Stealing our intentions

Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Everybody’s going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine

Everybody’s going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sun

Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?

Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
They always send the poor
They always send the poor

Lyrics

Here we go
The people show
Victims of tomorrow
The way it goes
It never shows
Emptiness or sorrow

There is nothing left inside
Nothing left to cry for
So I justify my crimes
Things I must die for

So alone
Away it goes
The life that you have wasted
You never know
Where is might go
The sweet success you’ve tasted

Tasted by a bitter frown
Knowing I must die for
Can’t confide, to all the lies
No one to inquire

As I wander
Change of seasons
As I realize
That I’ll soon be there

I’ll let you know
The reapers show
Makes you beg or borrow
He comes to see
The tragedy
His fate he will not follow

Wearing your electric crown
The preacher starts to pray
Shiver as the lights go down
Heed these words I say

As I wander
Change of seasons
I can’t ponder
I got my reasons

As I realize
I don’t care
All I know is
That I’ll soon be there

Now it’s gone
The time has come
The people stand in silence
Another dawn
Has come and gone
His fate has been decided

There is no one left inside
A brain without a mind
Traces of a bitter man
Are all you will find

As I wander
Change of seasons
I can’t ponder
I got my reasons

As I realize
I don’t care
All I know is
That I’ll soon be there
And I’ll soon be there
And I’ll soon be there
And I’ll soon be there

Lyrics

Here we are
There’s nowhere else to go and
That’s so far
From where we all could be but
If you feel like disappearing
Then you should take this for what it’s worth

This is it
And it fits
And it feels like this is good enough for me
Could it be
That the grass is always green?

There you are
You dream of something better
What’s so wrong?
With what you thought was true and
All the colors are disappearing
Then you should take this for what it’s worth

This is it
And it fits
And it feels like this is good enough for me
Could it be
That the grass is always green?

This is it (this is it)
This is it (this is it)

If you feel like disappearing
You should take this for what it’s worth
This is it
And it fits
And it feels like this is good enough for me
Could it be
That the grass is always green?

This is it
This is it

Lyrics

nows what it’s like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it’s like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They aren’t as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That’s never free

No one knows what it’s like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you!

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They aren’t as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours only lonely
My love is vengeance
That’s never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

And If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what it’s like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

Lyrics

Well, I’m a-gonna raise a fuss
I’m a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin’ all summer
Just to try to earn a dollar
But every time I call my baby
Try’n to get a date
My boss says, “No dice, son
You gotta work a-late”
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a-gonna do
There ain’t no cure for this summertime blues

Well, my mom ‘n’ poppa told me
“Son, you gotta earn some money
If you wanna use the car
To go ridin’ next Sunday”
Well, I didn’t go to work
Told the boss I was sick
“Now you can’t use the car
‘Cos you didn’t work a lick!”
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a-gonna do
There ain’t no cure for this summertime blues

Well, I’m gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
I’m gonna take my problem
To the United Nations
Well, I called my congress man
and he said, quote
“I’d like to help ya son
But you’re too young to vote”
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a-gonna do
There ain’t no cure for this summertime blues

Lyrics

I FARM for my meals
I get my back into my living.
I don’t need to fight
To prove I’m right
I don’t need to be forgiven.
yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah

Don’t cry
Don’t raise your eye
It’s only teenage wasteland

Sally, take my hand
We’ll travel south cross land
Put out the fire
And don’t look past my shoulder.
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let’s get together
Before we get much older.

Teenage wasteland
It’s only teenage wasteland.
Teenage wasteland
Oh, yeah
Teenage wasteland
They’re all wasted!

Lyrics

When I think back to the
first time in my childhood
When I saw that face
I thought right then,
‘That’s a real good looking boy’

I saw myself in the mirror
in profile
for the first time
I thought,
‘Hey! That’s a real good looking boy’

And I felt then
that I moved
With all those lucky fucks and angels
High in the theatre
In the sky

So I ran to my mother
I said,
‘Mom -- take a look at me
Have you ever seen a teen
Fly so high?’

That’s a real good looking boy
That’s a real good looking boy

She said,
‘Son, well, you know,
you’re an ugly boy.
You don’t really look like him

In this long line
There’s been some
real strange genes
You’ve got ‘em all
You’ve got ‘em all
With some extras thrown in’

That’s a real good looking boy
That’s a real good looking boy
That’s a real good looking boy
That’s a real good looking boy

Wise men say
Only fools, only fools rush in
But I -- I can’t help
Falling in love, in love with you

Now I’m here with you little darling
And you say, ‘You’re beautiful as you are’
And I’ve managed somehow to survive

You arrived in my life like a fragrance and
you help me find a way to laugh
Now I Know how so-called beauty lies

God gave him a face
Then he gave me something above
God gave me a grace
Man, he gave me your sweet, sweet, sweet love

You make me feel like I’m a real good looking boy
I feel I’m a real good looking boy
That’s a real good looking boy
That’s a real good looking boy

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones to start
To mould a new reality
Closer to the Heart

The Blacksmith and the Artist
Reflect it in their art
Forge their creativity
Closer to the Heart

Philosophers and Ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the Heart

You can be the Captain
I will draw the Chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the Heart

Lyrics

They come from every state to find
Some dreams were meant to be declined
Tell the man what did you have in mind
What have you come to do

No turning water into wine
No learning while you’re in the line
I’ll take you to the broken sign
You see the lights are blue

Come and get it
Lost it at the city limit
Say goodbye
‘Cause they will find a way to trim it
Everybody
Lookin’ for a silly gimmick
Gotta get away
Can’t take it for another minute

This town was made of many things
Just look at what the current brings
So high it’s only promising
This place was made on you

Tell me baby what’s your story
Where you come from
And where you wanna go this time
Tell me lover are you lonely
The thing we need is
Never all that hard to find
Tell me baby what’s your story
Where do you come from
And where you wanna go this time
You’re so lovely are you lonely
Giving up on the innocence you left behind

Some claim to have the fortitude
Too shrewd to blow the interlude
Sustaining pain to set a mood
Step out to be renewed

I’ll move you like a baritone
Jungle Brothers on the microphone
Getting over with an undertone
It’s time to turn to stone

Chitty chitty baby
When your nose is in the nitty gritty
Life could be a little sweet
But life could be a little shitty
What a pity
Boston and a Kansas city
Looking for a hundred
But you only ever found a fitty

Three fingers in the honeycomb
You ring just like a xylophone
Devoted to the chromosome
The day that you left home

Tell me baby what’s your story
Where you come from
And where you wanna go this time
Tell me lover are you lonely
The thing we need is
Never all that far to find
Tell me baby what’s your story
Where do you come from
And where you wanna go this time
You’re so lovely are you lonely
Giving up on the innocence you left behind

Tell me baby what’s your story
Where you come from
And where you wanna go this time
Tell me lover are you lonely
The thing we need is
Never all that far to find
Tell me baby what’s your story
Where do you come from
And where you wanna go this time
You’re so lovely are you lonely
Giving up on the innocence you left behind

Awww, look at you Cleveland!
Put your hands together for this one!

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

All dressed up and out on the street
Turning tricks was just a part of your scene
Workin’ all night long
Tryin’ to make a better day

When a dream is all you really got
Load it up and give it a shot
Baby here I come
I’m on my way

Yeah, take my hand
Woah yea, to the promised land
You and I, we’re gonna make a stand
Woah yea, in the promised land
Promised land

Baby we got money to burn
Diamonds and gold at every turn
It’s the land of milk and honey
And honey I gave you the world

Payback is a real big bitch
You’ve gotta gotta satisfy your itch
And if I scratch your cat
Are you ready to play?

Give it to me

Yeah, take my hand
Woah yea, to the promised land
You and I, we’re gonna make a stand
Woah yea, in the promised land
Promised land

Aww yea
Oh yea
Ah ha ha ha

You got to
You got to

Yeah yea, take my hand
Woah yea, to the promised land
You and I, we’re gonna make a stand
Woah yea, in the promised
Yeah yea, take my hand
Woah yea, to the promised land
You and I, we’re gonna make a stand
Woah yea, in the promised
Promised land
