You know you did
You know you did
You know you did
But if this ever changin'
In which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die

Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Somethin's changin' inside you
And don't you know
Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you
Tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had...baby
And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
And please remember that I never lied
And please remember
How I felt inside now honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby
And don't you cry tonight
I tried so hard just to get through to you
Time can pass slowly and
So goodbye to you girl
When I look into your eyes
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
We've been through this such a long long time
But lovers always come and lovers always go
If we could take the time
Do you need some time...on your own
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
Sometimes I need some time...on my own
And when your fears subside
Don't ya think that you need somebody
You know you're all alone
Turned into my worst phobia
You can find it all inside
I wasn't really scared
Bye, bye
Sick of this life
Nobody understands
But maybe if I looked real hard I'd
Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
I met an old cowboy
Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul
Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
"What we've got here is failure to communicate
Look at your young men fighting
Look at the hate we're breeding
My hands are tied
D'you wear a black armband
And
Look at the shoes your filling
My hands are tied
"WE PRACTICE SELECTIVE ANNIHILATION OF MAYORS
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war
*Strother Martin-from the film Cool Hand Luke
I try and feel the sunshine
But it's been
Your stupid girlfriends tell you
But it's been
Bullshit and contemplation
Yesterday, there was so many things
'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
Prayers in my pocket
'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday, there was so many things
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday

Mama take this badge from me
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

"YOU JUST BETTER START SNIFFIN' YOUR OWN RANK
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight
You Ain't The First

But your head's so far
From the realness of truth
Was it just a come on in the dark
Wasn't meant to last long
I think you've worn your welcome honey
I'll just see you along as I sing you this song
Things always change
You day's been numbered
And I've read your last page
You was just a temporary lover
Honey you ain't the first
Lots of others came before you woman
Said but you been the worst
Sa' you been the worst
So long, farewell
I can't hear you cryin'
Your jivin's been hell
So look for me walkin'
Down your street at night
I'll be in with another
Deep down inside
Deep down inside

I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
Just tryin' to kill the pain
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Your friends they aren't at home
Everybody's gone to the garden
As you look into the trees
You can look but you don't see
The flowers seem to tease you at the garden
Everybody's there, but you don't seem to care
What's it with you man, and this garden
A crazy man's utopia
If you're lost no one can show ya
But it sure was glad to know ya
Only poor bows take a chance
On the garden's song and dance
Feel her flowers as they wrap around
But only smart boys do without
No need to wrestle with your pride
No you ain't losin' your mind
You're just in the garden
They can lead you to yourself
Or you can throw it on the shelf
But you know you can look inside
For the garden
Lost my virginity there
To a gypsy with blonde hair
But now no one seems to care
Like a mouse inside a maze
Wandering round for days
With a smile upon my face
I never wanna leave this place
Only poor boys take a chance
On the garden's song and dance
Feel her flowers as they wrap around
But only smart boys do without
Turned into my worst phobia
A crazy man's utopia
If you're lost no one can show ya
But it sure was glad to know ya
So long, bye. bye
It's glad to know ya
Bye, bye
Bye, bye
Aw... so long

Not that you'd care
I'm not the only one with
Whom these feelings I share
Quite why we're here
We're searchin' for answers
That never appear
I'd see your tryin' too
To understand this life,
That we're all goin' through
(Then when she said she was gonna like wreck my car...I didn't
know what to do)
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smilin'
I guess some things never change
Never change
I saw the look in his eyes
Somethin' tells me he's been here before
'Cause experience makes you wise
I was only a small child
When the thought first came to me
That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son
That brought back the devil in me
And I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smilin'
I guess some things never change
Never change
Still wet behind the ears
I been around this track a couple o' times
But now the dust is startin' to clear
Oh yeah!!!
And I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smilin'
Ooh yeah, I'd be smilin'
No way I'd be smilin'
Ooh smilin'

Some men you just can't reach...
So, you get what we had here last week
Which is the way he wants it!
Well, he gets it!
N' I don't like it any more than you men" *
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
An I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
FOR EXAMPLE TO CREATE A VACUUM
THEN WE FILL THAT VACUUM
AS POPULAR WAR ADVANCES
PEACE IS CLOSER" **
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway

You bring the rain
You try and hold me down
With your complaints
You cry and moan and complain
You whine an tear
Up to my neck in sorrow
The touch you bring
You just don't step inside to
14 years
So hard to keep my own head...
That's what I say
You know...I've been the beggar...
I've played the thief
I was the dog...they all tried to beat
14 years of silence
It's been
14 years of pain
It's been
14 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again
That I'm to blame
Well they're all used-up has-beens
Out of the game
This time I'll have the last word
You hear what I say
I tried to see it your way
It won't work today
You just don't step inside to
14 years
So hard to keep my own head...
That's what I say
You know...I've been the dealer...
Hangin' on your street
I was the dog...they all tried to beat
14 years of silence
It's been
14 years of pain
It's been
14 years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again
Gossip's their trade
If they knew half the real truth
What would they say
Well I'm past the point of concern
It's time to play
These last 4 years of madness
Sure put me straight
Don't get back 14 years
In just one day
So hard to keep my own head
Just go away
You know...just like a hooker she said
Nothin's for free
Oh I tried to see it your way
I tried to see it your way
Yesterdays

I was never told
Now that I'm startin' to learn
I feel I'm growing old
Old pictures that I'll always see
Some things could be better
In my book of memories
And no hand in destiny
I'll keep on movin' along
With no time to plant my feet
Old pictures that I'll always see
Some things could be better
If we'd all just let them be
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Got nothin' for me
I was never shown
Suddenly this time I found
I'm on the streets and I'm all alone
Old pictures that I'll always see
I ain't got time to reminisce old novelties
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday's got nothin' for me
Yesterday

I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
