Love

My feelings are real feelings
My love real love
Summer of love
Yes it was
Rolling on the garden green
You and me
What a team
Do you know what I mean
The way things are
Should always be
We might even have to live in a tree
We've got so much in common baby
Maybe someday we will marry
There's so much love in the world
You can see it on your TV screen
In South Africa
El Salvador
or Washington DC
Democrats
Republicans
Libertarians too
It's the summer of love
'69, '87, '82

How many bombs does it take
To set a country free
And which politician
Will choose the next ememy
And to make us believe there's a reason to fight
And to make us believe that fighting is right
So we go out and kill
People just like you and me
Never realizing
That government is the real enemy
Cause without governmental boundaries
There'll be no enemy
But one whole earth society

Man and civilization
Is leading to total destruction
Making bombs from the earth
Man can't look into his mind
For only sorrow he will find
And he knows, it was his choice
His choice to live a lie
His choice to never try
To seek truth and peace of mind
To take a stand
So he began
To count pebbles in the sand

Gaze
05:54
|
|||
Gazing at the fire
Flickering on my face
Like seasons upon the earth
Finding their place
Blaze on electric fire
On into my mind
Warm these places
In which you
May find

Big City Breakdown
02:06
|
|||
I've seen you around
Every dancehall, every town
Can't you remember my face
It's not familiar ground this place
You tell me that I'm here
And tonight we'll last the whole year
And we'll take this dance home
To the sunrise dome
Dance until the break of dawn
It's a breakdown
Keep it going all night long
Hold your partner with this song
Livin' in times that might not last
Like the future, like the past
Just move yourself
There's a sun that rises
That ain't no shit
And I want to be around
To see it

Boat Song '87
03:33
|
|||
There soon may be a killing
Of all forms of life
The superpowers put mankind
On the edge of a knife
They spend so much money
On weapons that don't even talk
How can you sit back and watch
There must be a stop!
We are very short of time
People are getting scared
The things man do for a dime
Is the nightmare
The starving will be at your front door
And radiation in your backyard
There will be no place to hide
Cause the sun will inflict scars!

Fake
03:14
|
|||
I love fake things
Gold and diamond rings
The things that I wear
Golden fur off a grizzly bear
And all the things I want
Are deep down inside
These things are not real
I'm taking a ride
I'm an adult
And I'm a little boy
These things are but toys
For my gentle mind
I love fake things
Money and all the glorious things
The things that I eat
Chocolate, paté and little kids' feet
And all the things I want
Are deep down inside
These things are not real
I'm taking a ride
I'm an adult
And I'm a little boy
These things are but toys
For my gentle mind

Long Forgotten Summer
03:00
|
|||
Long forgotten summer
In a long forgotten past
Of adults who have problems
And whose lives will never last
Sold out all their values
For three piece suits and ties
Sold out all their values
For ignorance and lies
Present, past,
Or future tense
Life is a white
Picket fence
That guards the memories
Of an adult's mind
Memories of summers past
Are so sublime
I've got the earth under my feet
There are no words to spell defeat
There is no time to have or lend
Because my summers will never end

Papa Greg
04:15
|
|||
Papa Greg won't take it no more
He's grown tired of government man
He's grown tired of the holy plan
Papa Greg does not like it here
Machinery man creates, destroys
Where woman gives birth to goverment toys
Papa Greg can see through this mess
Flying by day, he sees the light
Flying by day, flying by night
Papa Greg is finding it hard to breathe
As man cuts down all the trees
And replaces them with smokestacks
Higher are these!

Pave The Way
05:53
|
|||
Look over yonder
What do you see
I see cities, factories
I feel a pull, deep inside
Towards the sun, to the sky
I feel the earth under my feet
I can hear my heart beat
Now I know why I'm alive
And I know that we will survive

The glistening light rises over the mountaintop
Sparkling on the wet morning grass
It's times like these when you make your wish
For nuclear arms to be abolished
I've seen mountains burst with money and power
But now the tractors strip the land
Your actions are meaningless in this nuclear tide
Except for an action from inside
I am alone, so it seems
But the sun still shines in my dreams
Many have packed their bags and gone away
To fight a war, to obey
All this shooting and killing for our country
When our country is just earth and sea
Power and profit is the reason for war
It's the reason people die
So high on their fucking pride
So, have you ever seen the sunrise
I don't want a black sun
I watch humanity run
What's this Top Gun
Jah People must be as one

Sweet Dreams

I'm just a sittin' here smokin' da kine weed
I've got all the lovin' in the world I need
I'm gettin' real hungry cuz I'm gettin' real high
Oh lord, a squirrel musta stole my blueberry pie
And the Earth turns and blows as I skate to the sea
Lookin' for the likes of Neptune and me
The sky is blue like the majestic sea
And I think the sun's got the best of me
A fellow comes to me, calls himself Jack
He says he's got a bullethole in his back
"Man, I can't take this violence no more."
And the waves keep rollin' on into the shore
So me and Jack surf all day
Until the sun glooms red and fades away
Mother Nature wants me to stay and play
Don't worry, I'll be back one day
Somewhere sometime I close my eyes
And I'm diggin' the natural disguise
Because while the clock still moves its tired hands
I drift off into to never-never land

Seed Of Sacrifice
05:10
|

Madonna takes the stage
She needs to sing so bad
Her inspiration is money
Her reason to live is money
Look at all the homeless
Living on skid row
Look at Madonna the homeowner
Living off her fans' dough
Living and dying doesn't make sense
When I smell Madonna's incense
A smell of greed and ignorance
I must fight her, hence

Smashing Clocks
04:40
|

What the government says
Is a lie
They try to label
What should be life
They organize
And catagorize
They control
Control, destroy
That clock on the wall just sits
I'd like to smash it to bits
Please, Mr. Businessman go away
Please let me live my own way
Politicians can't set me free
Their stupid games, leave me be
I see the time in their eyes
Hands of a clock formed by their lies
That clock on the wall just sits
I'd like to smash it to bits
Please, Mr. Businessman go away
Please let me live my own way

What is life to you
It means nothing
You destroy, you kill
Without a second thought
Why do you chop down that tree
Why do you kill that little girl
I want to be where the sun always shines
And where the wind blows through my hair
Well down the way from man's violent path
If there's a place, well I'll be there.
There must be a place
There must be a place where we can run
There must be a place
There must be a place under the sun

Broken Rainbow

|

What has he done to the balance of nature
The rainbow is broken in the eyes of time
And in the eyes of the Hopi and Navajo
And others oppressed from birth
They see the streetlights
Instead of the stars above
And tears fall on the concrete-covered earth
Earth
The Sun
The Stars
The Sky
The Great Spirit didn't want the land
Dug up to create nuclear weapons
And neither did we
