I Sacrifice
02:45
|
|||
I walked into your nightmare and hero was my name
I chose to fight for freedom but it was just a game
You sent me to another country - I can't tell which is which
I left my brother dying with no arms in a ditch
I sacrificed my blood I did it in your name
I sacrificed my name I did just what I should
I sacrificed by blood I sacrificed my life
I sacrificed my life I sacrificed my blood
I ain't got no money for food - I ain't got no money for rent
All that money you gave me - it has all been spent
You said you would remember the fighters for the free
My story ain't nothing special - there's plenty more like me
I sacrificed my blood I did it in your name
I sacrificed my name i did just what I should
I sacrificed by blood I sacrificed my life
I sacrificed my life I sacrificed my blood
I sacrificed my blood
I sacrificed my blood
I sacrificed my blood I did it in your name
I sacrificed my name I did just what I should
I sacrificed by blood I sacrificed my life
I sacrificed my life I sacrificed my blood

The Curse of the Wu-Hu
02:21
|
|||
Bile in your belly as the acid eats your insides
You must have crossed a line coz his eye's on you a wu-hu
You're coming down hard, you're coming down fast
The doc said it's fifty-fifty
You can't smell a thing and you can't see a thing at night
Wu-hu-hu
Wu-hu-hu
Mumble tongue jibber jabber flapping away in your eardrums
The cops at the station said your heart stopped beating a wu-hu
Soon fall down, you just might drown
Waiting for the rats to find you
Yeah you've been schooled you been versed in the curse of the wu-hu
Wu-hu-hu
Wu-hu-hu
Wu-hu-hu
Wu-hu-hu

Suspect
02:31
|
|||
Come alive all you demons and you warriors
I hunt those who undermine the emperor
You can hide but your neighbours will rat you out
We'll take a ride in my blue limo baby
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You're so cute saving the environment
I am an agent of the government
My list is long and all your names are on it
Your next vacation will be in solitary
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect
You are a suspect

Waterboarding for Christ
05:19
|

Watching my brother drown
Taking a baby down I'm feeling like I'm not really here
Watching my mother drown
Nothing below me now
The mad dogs are licking my fear
I think I can fly away
I think I can fly away
Forever lonely
Watching my brother drown
Taking a baby down I'm feeling like I'm not really here
Watching my mother drown
Nothing below me now
The mad dogs are licking my fear
I think I can fly away
I think I can fly away

All over California they're calling out for water
And the air ain't fit to breathe
A dream vacation in your favourite destination
Everybody's living on their knees
At the demonstration the television station
Is dancing with the police
You say you wanna vote but the system is broke
You get arrested for disturbing the peace
I'm so glad I'm living on the Moon with my baby
I'm so glad I'm living on the Moon with my baby
You're all against or for us the same old chorus
That they're screaming at you every day
If you follow all the money the land of milk and honey
Was long ago and far away
I'm so glad I'm living on the Moon with my baby
I'm so glad I'm living on the Moon with my baby
I'm so glad I'm living on the Moon with my baby
I'm so glad I'm living on the Moon with my baby

The Ideas in Your Head

|

Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?
Who put those ideas in your head?

Get High and Quit
03:56
|
|||
I hide my shame under my skin
It helps me work and it keeps me thin dig it
The boss all day he's all work work work
Worships God and treats us like dirt
I can get high and quit it
I can get high and quit it
I'm gonna float in the mountains and fly in the swamp
I can hear the angels singing my song
I need my medicine i need my fix
I'm feeling like a king high above the hicks
I can get high and quit it
I can get high and quit it
Come to me queen in your long white gown
Take me away from this mean old town
Give me the love make my hands stop shaking
Light up the night coz I'm done faking
I can get high and quit it

Don't Come Back for Me
02:31
|
|||
Anger stands before me
And violence is his name
Mercy will not call me
No matter what I do no matter what I say
Don't come back for me
Truth is cruising downtown
And death is here to stay
And love has left the building
No matter what I do no matter what I say
Don't come back for me
No matter what I do no matter what I say
Don't come back for me
As a man I stand before you
Mystery is my name
I've nothing more to show you
No matter what I do no matter what I say
Don't come back for me
No matter what I do no matter what I say
Don't come back for me

The Dance of the Dead
08:33
|
|||
We was here as thieves and queens
Stable boys and all between
We know your secrets we know your dreams
You can not know what we have seen
This is the Dance of the Dead
This is the Dance of the Dead
This is the Dance of the Dead
Come and dance with the dead
We lost our skin and flesh and bone
But here we are and here we roam
The world you know is still our home
And you will never be alone
This is the Dance of the Dead
This is the Dance of the Dead
This is the Dance of the Dead
Come and dance with the dead
This is the Dance of the Dead
This is the Dance of the Dead
This is the Dance of the Dead
Come and dance with the dead
You will never be alone
You will never be alone
This is the Dance of the Dead

The Inevitable
04:04
|
|||
As I fly through the Musée d'Orsay
My bones ache when I see it this way
I am free from the weight of desire
I am light I am air I am fire.
Gone is flesh gone is need gone is want
No more blame, jealousy, or self-doubt
I am thought I am gone I am light
I am leaving
I am leaving
I am leaving
I am leaving
