Freedom - A right I thought we had. One that no one could take away. But there are those who will try. To rule the lives that you and I choose to lead.
Locked out, and alienated. lost, soul, is feared and hated. judged, scared, not comprehended. waste, time, no more. . Everyone's reponsible to take precaution - be aware.
I believe that joy defines success. I'm aware of what causes my happiness. I believe the distance of my reach is far beyond what. I ever dreamed. . What I dreamed shaped my creed.
Speak of the son. No father brings the holy one.. From cloven hoofs to claws to thorns, his rise to power has begun.. Among your thieves, there lays another dying mouth to feed..
Beneath your streets, we breathe and breed and sleep and eat defeat.. No longer human forms, our bodies bleed from your disease.. We are the damned condemned to walk this awful land..
For you time's dragging on and I've no rest for a heart attack. I can't relate I can't react with anything. But fear and lashing out at you and so I do.
I ain't nervous. I swear to God I ain't nervous. Nah, nah. And I'm laughin at them pussy niggas. And that pussy shit they doin. Gettin cake like I'm Jewish.
I wish, I wish, I wish. To every city. I wish, I wish, I wish. Every hood. I wish, I wish, I wish. And every block. Ghetto America!. . Rollin' through the hood.
Here nothing grows. Here nothing lives. Do you dream of the future or do you live in the past? Are you out for humanity or a gender, race, or class? Are you dilligently fighting with the movement, or fighting the blind cause? If you were given freedom would that be an end? If you were given the means would you use them to your benefit?.
I was a teenage anarchist, looking for a revolution.. I had the style, I had the ambition.. I read all the authors, I knew the right slogans.. There was no war but the class war..
I'm the disco fucker of the new generation.. I'm in line with the active invention.. Here's a fist to forward your fucking evolution.. Head full of ten o' clock education..
Last night,. A room full, drunk,. Sang along to the songs I never had. The courage to write.. Given the chance. I'd stay in this chorus forever,. Where everything ugly in this world.
Christ we were dying in the streets running one last anthem through your heart. Swearing life on liberty I'll take a dream an ideal die sound in a lonely death. Pass this compromise on...... My regrets to Columbus (GA) and nothing more when Reagan became the final word. Just one month later they shot Lennon dead, will anybody cry for me? All nations claim until they day that I die, I am citizen. We'll let music rule our life, celebrate shortcomings. If it's not angry young and beautiful, I don't want any part of it. Who do you have to cheat to get what you want, who do you lie to, to get what you need? You deserve everything you got coming to you....
There's something on my mind. I gotta say, love. So you'll know how I feel. When I'm away, love. . I'm glad I knew you. I'm glad I knew you. I'm glad I knew you awhile.
I never thought it could come to this,. as you sit there crying,. hanging on with your fingertips. to something that's already dead.. Now we're into a game.
Expect perfection that I don't have.. You want a miracle?. I'm not your girl.. Not a lover of words, I'm a lover of sounds.. You never understand because you're never around. Expect a lot of things,.
Don't let your whole world fall apart just because I'm not here.. It's not like I'm not coming back.. I'm not just gonna disappear.. I never cheated, never lied..
You can take anything you want. But just don't mess me up. No, no, don't break my bones. I see the way you're lookin'. Starin' at me like I'm something.
you can leave the island but you can't leave my love. and you can't take back what you gave away. you can leave the island but you can't leave my heart.
I remember when the time I met you. Living with your people down in New Orleans. Mad at your mama 'cause she wouldn't let you. Ride in our nasty limousine.
