She’s a queen Mother sister daughter neighbour lover He’s a king Father brother son of every stranger We sing Sounds better when we get together One thing we’ve got to learn to do Take care of each other Got to see each other in the mirror Take care of each other It’s the one thing that matters Got to break through the fever Wake up from the nightmare One of us in chains none of us are free All of us in flame no one can see One of us in pain is one too many It’s all or nothing One child is rich 99 are poor Some legal hitch we didn’t vote for All systems go into the gutter Time to try another Take the lead take the front seat Taking charge can you take the heat We take what’s ours we take the cake We’ve taken the wrong way Take a holiday take the high road Take a well earned break from a heavy load Take your time take your place Now give it all away She’s a queen He’s a king We sing One thing Take care of each other Try to see our future getting clearer Take care of each other We can do much better Every soul has a hunger To be loving another Take care of each other Got to see our future getting clearer Take care of each other It’s the one thing that matters Got to break through the fever Got to see everybody in the mirror

Forgiveness 03:36
If hate is a shovel Forgiveness is a broom Why dig a hole now? Go and clean up your room ‘Cause what’s done is done And all is fair And when the thrill is gone We’ve got to clear the air Forgiveness can’t you see? All that’s come between you and me Will take it right out All benefit no doubt Will turn it on its head Everything we’ve said And we’ll be fine The forgiveness party Is getting no votes It ain’t too pretty We’re at each other’s throats And now we’re all playing dirty And it’s getting kinda old While our hearts are hungry For a higher road Forgiveness across the board Clean the slate lay down your sword We’ll take it to the top We’ll run and never stop A real life line Submerged to sublime In good time in good time We’ll be fine love will shine You’ve got to do it in your sleep And all day long With every beat Of your blood song They say revenge is sweet But is it smart Why make poison In your own heart? Forgiveness for you and me It’s our only hope of finding peace The ticket and the key The only way to be In the long long ride To the other side Of misery of misery Oh misery set me free

Crapitalism 03:38
Whatcha doin Watch out Takin and takin and takin And everything’s turnin upside down Whatcha doin Watch out Fakin and fakin and fakin We’re all just doin the same thing now We gotta get outta this I had a dream I don’t wanna wake up Things as they seem I’d rather stop Cause I want to shine so bright That all of my darkest days Don’t feel like night anymore Whatcha doin Watch out Shakin and shakin and shakin your head Instead of takin a stand Whatcha doin Watch out Get up and get on move along You know there’s blood on everyone’s hands We gotta get outta this Way down inside we are all one soul Here on the ground we are outta control Pendulum please don’t swing so wide This harrowing one-way haul Down the highway to hell Started out as a joyride Whatcha doin Watch out Takin and takin and takin And everyone’s ready to drop the next bomb Whatcha doin Watch out Achin and achin and achin We’re all just barely hangin on We gotta get outta this We gotta get outta this

Bye Bye Bees 03:20
There was a time when our world was a place to live A place to stand or to swim or fly But sadly some tried to stand above all the rest Now it is only a place to die oh why oh why? Oh honey I’ll miss you Sweet flower I can’t kiss you We were singing in the sun Now our time is done What can we say What can we do No one to blame but me and you We’re such fools Weep Mama and wail Daddy Keep falling on your knees Our children have nothing to eat ‘Cause we feasted on greed Do you know what I’m saying Can you feel what I’m talking about Is there somebody missing Who used to be buzzing about Body black and yellow little tiny wings Used to take care of everything Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide What have we done All hope has died oh bye bye They died screaming and so will I So close your ears and plug your eyes Blind comfort asleep in the road Trucks coming with a heavy load The apple is eaten down to the core The tree is rotten there will be no more Our will is written feet out the door And we’ll be forgotten evermore

Everyone who ever hurt you Is so sorry right now Their mountain of pain spilled on you But please don’t let it grow They would take it back if they could Turn your bad times into good Well I know because I’m One of everyone Everyone who ever loved you They still love you right now Maybe they could never tell you But you flipped them upside down Two as one and one from two Eternal union whole and true But now you are alone One of everyone Everyone who even just saw you one time Is so lucky they did You know you still have that same magic That you had as a kid Did you see them too Did you see their spark? The night was brief The day so dark Well they need you to know they’re One of everyone Everyone who’s ever known you Can see you are in pain You run with joy in great circles But it catches up again Stand your ground And you’re taken down You hit the mat And bounce right back You rise and you drop But you’ll never stop You fight and ignite Derail and delight And that’s how you become One of everyone

Haunt Me 04:06
Please don’t haunt me anymore Please don’t taunt me anymore Please don’t haunt me anymore Please don’t want me anymore I just can’t take it No I can’t take it anymore Not going to make it We need to stop You’ve got me burning Too high a fever I was your lover Now I’m just a believer I want you I need you I beg you I plead you I crave you I curse you I dread you I dream you I hear you walking I see you talking about me Maybe you’re joking but I just don’t get it I gave you everything I had You give me nothing Now you have got me begging And you won’t stop coming around Please don’t thrill me anymore Please don’t kill me anymore Please don’t break me anymore Please stop taking me over and over And over and over and over and over It’s over it’s over it’s over it’s over I can’t get over you Please don’t hurt me anymore Don’t desert me anymore Please don’t love me anymore Let me close the door

Look Out 02:42
I want to stay up tonight You are all wrapped up tight We used live on the edge Watch as I reach for the fridge Look out Look in Look around Look back Look out Look ‘em in the eye Never look away She is a lightning bolt He’s at the end of his rope They could be living in a dream When will they be happy as they seem? Oh to be young and free Wow it was ecstasy Keep it in your mind Soon you’ll be out of time Look out Look here Look after each other Look out Look sharp Look ahead Look it up

Dr Feelbad 03:19
Time bomb keeps on ticking But it's all we've got And a mule that won't stop kicking That same sore spot Tears are raining so hard When will we get a break I see there’s a brighter future But I can't wait Breathe in hold on Let it out keep your lungs empty Increase the time with every breath Overcoming fear of death The young ones all are wasted They are wasted on youth Though everyone else has tasted it We’re numb to the truth Oh we’re so complacent Will we ever rise above All our vacuous self hatred And vile self love Move forward step by step Find the nerve cut the right wire Do your work and stay calm Disarming an economic bomb I took a stroll down a worm hole But now I’m stuck A slippery slope so steep Nobody can pull me up I’ve got to get myself together And tear it all apart No more taking a beating From my own heart Oh doctor can't you see I need you and you need me We're the best thing we’ve ever had Why we got to feel so bad?

Pocket sunrise Your power never dies Every day is first prize Your beaming bright eyes Pocket sunrise Your love has no disguise So young and so wise The whole package small size Never hide away Never shy away Never fly away from me Please never fade away Never fall away Never turn your face away from me I need your light to see The world can be cold So dark and all alone uh oh Off and away I go When I've lost my mind Deaf mute and blind Shut down for too long a time Somehow you find me Never would have known if you Hadn't come along No I could not ever have imagined All my pride and joy With you my boy As I watch you turn into a man I held you in one hand Pocket sunrise You take me by surprise Big laughs and small cries Deep lows dizzying highs Pocket sunrise You may never realize How quickly time flies Till you have your own little guys So glad to know you Pocket Sunrise

Buddyvibe 03:42
No we don’t care Only thin air What we’re doing Here we go We are the squeaky wheels We love the taste of oil Never get enough You got your sex appeal But that not how you feel Never good enough Everyone feeling down Our spirit on the ground Gotta get it up No we don’t care Only thin air What we’re doing We don’t know Wow wow wow wonderful So so so right Pow pow pow powerful What we’re doing tonight You say you’ll take me higher I set your pants on fire Never get along How could it come to this You throw my face a fist Gotta clean it up Get over it We got the buddyvibe It keeping us alive Never give it up No we don’t care Only thin air What we’re doing here

Heartfarmer 04:47
Your tears are watering your heart Got to be measured you’ve got to be smart You could drown it or make it grow One thing you’ve got to know If it’s cold in there make it warmer Be a good heart farmer a heart farmer Your fears follow you around A great big entourage trampling the ground You’ve got to beg their pardon I promise you a victory garden Where you can grow your own sweet heart And maybe can find another Be a good heart farmer You’ve got one job to do - keep it together You’ve got to dig deep with both feet Whatever the weather uh huh And I don’t care who you are A friend or a stranger from afar Chasing dreams and schemes Pain and fortune and glamour Be a good heart farmer a heart farmer All the years go by like days Trapped on a treadmill locked in a haze What are we doing? War is brewing It will lead us to ruin Come and lay down your armour Be a good heart farmer You’ve got one crop one plot and so many seasons And the sun comes and goes For too many reasons to know And I don’t care who you are You could be a saviour or a star A hustler a fake on the town on the take Oh a liar a cheater a tiger a snake a real charmer Be a good heart farmer a heart farmer

Every strength is a weakness Every weakness a strength If you’ve got no interest darling You shouldn’t work at the bank Every friend is a stranger Every stranger a friend We blew up in the big bang baby And we’re never ever going to mend All our weakness is strength and strength is our weakness We’ve got business in our blood and blood is running Every tear is a rainbow If you put it in the light Every scream is an anthem If it can get you through the night One drop of stillness Can calm any storm You’ve been running from that power Since the day that you were born All our weakness is strength and strength is our weakness We’ve got business in our blood and blood is running So simple yet convoluted at the same time the same time So hopeful but so polluted at the same time the same time So derivative and yet iconic at the same time the same time So brilliant but so moronic at the same time the same time Weakness is strength Freakiness is obvious Watch what you think Blinking can be dangerous So simple but convoluted at the same time the same time So hopeful yet so polluted at the same time the same time So derivative and yet iconic at the same time the same time So heroic but still pathetic at the same time the same time
