    TALKIN' BOUT A REVOLUTION


    Dont you know
    Theyre talkin bout a revolution
    It sounds like a whisper
    Dont you know
    Theyre talkin about a revolution
    It sounds like a whisper

    While theyre standing in the welfare lines
    Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
    Wasting time in the unemployment lines
    Sitting around waiting for a promotion

    Dont you know
    Theyre talkin bout a revolution
    It sounds like a whisper
    Poor people gonna rise up
    And get their share
    Poor people gonna rise up
    And take whats theirs

    Dont you know
    You better run, run, run, run, run,
    run, run, run, run, run, run, run
    Oh I said you better
    Run, run, run, run, run, run, run,
    run, run, run, run, run

    Finally the tables are starting to turn
    Talkin bout a revolution
    Finally the tables are starting to turn
    Talkin bout a revolution
    Talkin bout a revolution

    While they`re standing in the welfare lines
    Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
    Wasting time in the unemployment lines
    Sitting around waiting for a promotion

    Dont you know
    Theyre talkin bout a revolution
    It sounds like a whisper

    Finally the tables are starting to turn
    Talkin bout a revolution
    Finally the tables are starting to turn
    Talkin bout a revolution
    Talkin bout a revolution
    Talkin bout a revolution

    FAST CAR


    You got a fast car
    I want a ticket to anywhere
    Maybe we make a deal
    Maybe together we can get somewhere

    Any place is better
    Starting from zero got nothing to lose
    Maybe well make something
    But me myself I got nothing to prove

    You got a fast car
    I got a plan to get us out of here
    I've been working at the convenience store
    Managed to save just a little bit of money
    Wont have to drive too far
    Just cross the border and into the city
    You and I can both get jobs
    And fin'lly see what it means to be living

    See my old mans got a problem
    He lives with the bottle thats the way it is
    He says his bodys too old for working
    I say his bodys too young to look like his
    My mama went off and left him
    She wanted more from life than he could give
    I said somebodys got to take care of him
    So I quit school and thats what I did

    You got a fast car
    Is it fast enough so we can fly away
    We gotta make a decision
    We leave tonight or live and die this way

    I remember when we were driving driving in your car
    Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
    City lights lay out before us
    And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
    And I had a feeling that I belonged
    And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

    You got a fast car
    We go cruising to entertain ourselves
    You still aint got a job
    And I work in the market as a checkout girl
    I know things will get better
    Youll find work and Ill get promoted
    Well move out of the shelter
    Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

    I remember we were driving driving in your car
    speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
    City lights lay out before us
    And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
    And I had a feeling that I belonged
    And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

    You got a fast car
    I got a job that pays all our bills
    You stay out drinking late at the bar
    See more of your friends than you do of your kids
    Id always hoped for better
    Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
    I got no plans I aint going nowhere
    So take your fast car and keep on driving

    I remember when we were driving driving in your car
    Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
    City lights lay out before us
    And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
    And I had a feeling that I belonged
    And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

    You got a fast car
    But is it fast enough so you can fly away
    You gotta make a decision
    You leave tonight or live and die this way

    ACROSS THE LINES


    Across the lines
    Who would dare to go
    Under the bridge
    Over the tracks
    That separates whites from blacks

    Choose sides
    run for your lifes
    Tonight the riots begin
    On the back streets of america
    They kill the dream of america

    Little black girl gets assaulted
    Aint no reason why
    Newspaper prints the story
    And racist tempers fly
    Next day it starts a riot
    Knives and guns are drawn
    Two black boys get killed
    One white boy goes blind

    Across the lines
    Who would dare to go
    Under the bridge
    Over the tracks
    That separates whites from blacks

    Choose sides
    run for your lifes
    Tonight the riots begin
    On the back streets of america
    They kill the dream of america

    Little black girl gets assaulted
    Dont no one know her name
    Lots of people hurt and angry
    Shes the one to blame

    Across the lines
    Who would dare to go
    Under the bridge
    Over the tracks
    That separates whites from blacks

    Choose sides
    run for your lifes
    Tonight the riots begin
    On the back streets of america
    They kill the dream of america

    BEHIND THE WALL


    Last night I heard the screaming
    Loud voices behind the wall
    Another sleepless night for me
    It won't do no good to call
    The police
    Always come late hey
    If they come at all

    Last night I heard the screaming
    Loud voices behind the wall
    Another sleepless night for me
    It won't do no good to call
    The police
    Always come late hey
    If they come at all

    And when they arrive
    They say they can't interfere
    With domestic affairs
    Between a man and his wife
    And as they walk out the door
    The tears well up in her eyes

    Last night I heard the screaming
    Then a silence that chilled my soul
    Prayed that I was dreaming
    When I saw the ambulance in the road

    And the policeman said
    "I'm here to keep the peace
    Will the crowd disperse
    I think we all could use some sleep"

    Last night I heard the screaming
    Loud voices behind the wall
    Another sleepless night for me
    It won't do no good to call
    The police
    Always come late hey
    If they come at all

    MOUNTAINS O' THINGS


    The life I've always wanted
    I guess I'll never have
    I'll be working for somebody else
    Until I'm in my grave
    I'll be dreaming of a live of ease
    And mountains
    Oh mountains o' things


    To have a big expensive car
    Drag my furs on the ground
    And have a maid that I can tell
    To bring me anything
    Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
    I'll revel in their attention
    And mountains
    Oh mountains o' things


    Sweet lazy life
    Champagne and caviar
    I hope you'll come and find me
    Cause you know who we are
    Those who deserve the best in life
    And know what money's worth
    And those whose sole misfortune
    Was having mountains o' nothing at birth


    Oh they tell me
    There's still time to save my soul
    They tell me
    Renounce all
    Renounce all those material things you gained by
    Exploiting other human beings


    Consume more than you need
    This is the dream
    Make you pauper
    Or make you queen
    I won't die lonely
    I'll have it all prearranged
    A grave that's deep and wide enough
    For me and all my mountains o' things


    Mostly I feel lonely
    Good good people are
    Good people are only
    My stepping stones
    It's gonna take all my mountains o' things
    To surround me
    Keep all my enemies away
    Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay

    The life I've always wanted
    I guess I'll never have
    I'll be working for somebody else
    Until I'm in my grave
    I'll be dreaming of a live of ease
    And mountains
    Oh mountains o' things

    I'll be dreaming, dreaming...
    Dreaming...

    SHE'S GOT HER TICKET


    She's got her ticket
    I think she gonna use it
    I think she going to fly away
    No one should try and stop her
    Persuade her with their power
    She says that her mind is made
    Up


    Why not leave why not
    Go away
    Too much hatred
    Corruption and greed
    Give your life
    And invariably they leave you with
    Nothing


    Young girl ain't got no chances
    No roots to keep her strong
    She's shed all pretenses
    That someday she'll belong
    Some folks call her a runaway
    A failure in the race
    But she knows where her ticket takes her
    She will find her place in the sun

    Why not leave why not
    Go away
    Too much hatred
    Corruption and greed
    Give your life
    And invariably they leave you with
    Nothing

    She's got her ticket
    I think she gonna use it
    I think she going to fly away
    No one should try and stop her
    Persuade her with their power
    She says that her mind is made
    Up

    And she'll fly, fly, fly...

    WHY?


    Why do the babies starve
    When there's enough food to feed the world
    Why when there're so many of us
    Are there people still alone

    Why are the missiles called peace keepers
    When they're aimed to kill
    Why is a woman still not safe
    When she's in her home

    Love is hate
    War is peace
    No is yes
    And we're all free

    But somebody's gonna have to answer
    The time is coming soon
    Admidst all these questions and contradictions
    There're some who seek the truth

    But somebody's gonna have to answer
    The time is coming soon
    When the blind remove their blinders
    And the speechless speak the truth

    FOR MY LOVER


    Two weeks in a Virginia jail
    For my lover, for my lover
    Twenty thousand dollar bail
    For my lover, for my lover

    And everybody thinks
    That I'm the fool
    But they don't get
    Any love from you

    The things we won't do for love
    I'd climb a mountain if I had to
    Risk my life so I could have you
    You, you, you...

    Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed
    For my lover, for my lover
    They dope me up and I tell them lies
    For my lover, for my lover

    And everybody thinks
    That I'm the fool
    But they don't get
    Any love from you

    The things we won't do for love
    I'd climb a mountain if I had to
    Risk my life so I could have you
    You, you, you...

    I follow my heart
    And leave my head to ponder
    Deep in this love
    No man can shake
    I follow my heart
    And leave my mind to wonder
    Is this love worth
    The sacrifices I make?

    IF NOT NOW...


    If not now, then when?
    If not today,
    Then, why make your promises?
    A love declared for days to come,
    Is as good as none.

    You can wait 'til morning comes.
    You can wait for the new day.
    You can wait and lose this heart.
    You can wait and soon be sorry.

    If not now, then when?
    If not today,
    Then, why make your promises?
    A love declared for days to come,
    Is as good as none.

    Now love's the only thing that's free.
    We must take it where it's found.
    Pretty soon it may be costly.

    'Cause if not now, then when?
    If now today,
    Then, why make your promises?
    A love declared for days to come,
    Is as good as none.

    If now now, what then?
    We all must live our lives.
    Always feeling.
    Always thinking.
    The moment has arrived.

    If not now, then when?

    FOR YOU


    No words to say
    No words to convey
    This feeling inside I have for you

    Deep in my heart
    Safe from the guards
    Of intellect and reason
    Leaving me at a loss
    For words to express my feelings

    Deep in my heart
    Deep in my heart
    Look at me losing control
    Thinking I had a hold
    But with feelings this strong
    I'm no longer the master
    Of my emotions

    CROSSROADS


    All you folks think you own my life
    But you never made any sacrifice
    Demons they are on my trail
    I'm standing at the crossroads of the hell
    I look to the left I look to the right
    There're hands that grab me on every side

    All you folks think I got my price
    At which I'll sell all that is mine
    You think money rules when all else fails
    Go sell your soul and keep your shell
    I'm trying to protect what I keep inside
    All the reasons why I live my life

    Some say the devil be a mystical thing
    I say the devil he a walking man
    He a fool he a liar conjurer and a thief
    He try to tell you what you want
    Try to tell you what you need

    Standing at the point
    The road it cross you down
    What is at your back
    Which way do you turn
    Who will come to find you first
    Your devils or your gods

    All you folks think you run my life
    Say I should be willing to comprimise
    I say all you demons go back to hell
    I'll save my soul save myself

    BRIDGES


    All the bridges that you burn
    Come back one day to haunt you
    One day you'll find you're walking
    Lonely

    Baby I
    Never meant to hurt you
    Sometimes the best intentions
    Still don't make things right

    But all my ghosts they find me
    Like my past they think they own me
    In dreams and dark corners they surround me
    Till I cry I cry

    Let me take this time to set the record straight
    Let me take this time to take it all back
    Let me take this time to tell you how I felt
    Let me take this time to try and make it right

    But you can
    Walk away
    Be all alone
    Spend all your time
    Thinking about the way things used to be
    If love feels right
    You work it out
    You don't give it up
    Baby

    Anybody tell you that
    Anybody tell you that
    Anybody tell you that

    You should take some time maybe sleep on it tonight
    You should take some time baby heed the words I said
    You should take some time think about your life
    You should take some time before you throw it all away

    I ain't got the time
    To sit here and wait around
    But I got the time

    FREEDOM NOW


    They throwed him in jail
    And they kept him there
    Hoping soon he'd die
    That his body and spirit would waste away
    And soon after that his mind

    But every day is born a fool
    One who thinks that he can rule
    One who says tomorrow's mine
    One who wakes one day to find
    The prison doors open the shackles broken
    And chaos in the street

    Everybody sing we're free free free free
    Everybody sing we're free free free free
    Everybody sing we're free free free free

    They throwed him in jail
    And they kept him there
    Hoping his memory'd die
    That the people forget how he once led
    And fought for justice in their lives

    But every day is born a man
    Who hates what he can't understand
    Who thinks the answer is to kill
    Who thinks his actions are god's will

    And he thinks he's free free free free
    Yes he thinks he's free free free free
    He thinks he's free free free free

    Soon must come the day
    When the righteous have their way
    Unjustly tried are free
    And people live in peace I say
    Give the man release
    Go on and set your conscience free
    Right the wrongs you made
    Even a fool can have his day

    Let us all be free free free free
    Let us all be free free free free
    Let us all be free free free free

    Free our bodies free our minds
    Free our hearts
    Freedom for everyone
    And freedom now

    Freedom now
    Freedom now
    Freedom now

    Let us all be free free free free
    Let us all be free free free free
    Let us all be free free free free

    MATERIAL WORLD


    You in your fancy
    Material world
    Don't see the links of chain
    Binding blood

    Our own ancestors
    Are hungry ghosts
    Closets so full of bones
    They won't close

    Call it upward mobility
    But you've been sold down the river
    Just another form of slavery
    And the whole man-made white world
    Is your master

    You in your fancy
    Material world
    Create in your own image
    A supreme god

    Your virgin mary
    Your holy ghosts
    Claimed to be pure of heart
    Have hands that are stained with blood

    You in your fancy
    Material world
    Don't see the links of chain
    Binding

    BE CAREFUL OF MY HEART


    You and your sweet smile
    You and your tantalizing ways
    You and your honey lips
    You and all the sweet things that they say
    You and your wild wild ways
    One day you just up and walked away

    You left me hurting
    But I can forgive you for that now
    You taught me something
    Something took me half my life to learn
    When you give all yourself away
    Just tell them to be careful of your heart

    Be careful of my heart, heart
    Be careful of this heart of mine
    Be careful of my heart, heart
    It just might break and send some splinters flying
    Be careful of my heart, heart
    Be careful

    You you you
    You you you
    You you you
    Took my love
    Thought you took it all

    You you you
    You you you
    You you you
    Took my love
    And now you're gone

    But I'm not breaking down
    And I'm not falling apart
    I just lost a little faith
    When you broke my heart
    Given a chance
    I might try it again
    But I wouldn't risk it all this time

    I'd save
    A little love for myself
    Enough for my heart to mend
    A little love for myself
    One day I just might love again
    One day some sweet smile might turn my head
    One day I just might give all myself away
    One day
    One day
    One day
