[written by The Rudiments]. . breakin' out the old wailing paddle. pull the splinters out of your skin. ice your knuckle, vow revenge. corporal rule, teach it cruel.
I'm all set see I'm set straight. I got the whole thing and yeah it's great. Life's just running around and saying "hi". And I don't have to worry, no,.
I came upon a child of God. He was walking along the road. When I asked him, where are you going. This he told me. I'm going down to Yasgur's farm. Gonna join a rock and roll band.
The stories of the world are sung. In places that were never young. I have counted every one. . All the clouds will come to you. So the sun never comes through.
If you could feel how I must feel. The winds of quiet change. If you could see what I must see. Still hidden in the rain. But when the thunder rolls. It comes and covers up my soul.
Cathy came home and no one cared. Even her friends were unaware. That? s how it is when they lose track. I always say hey don? t look back. Lassie got loose and made it home.
lived a thousand years. In someone else? s shoes. I lived a thousand lives. With someone else? s blues. I talked so many nights. With voices I don? t know.
What did you learn in school today. Did you learn to run when the teachers pray. Did they teach you enough to know the state you're in. Not enough to get out, not enough to win.
All the rain came down. On a cold new town. As it carried you away. From your father's hand. That always seemed like a fist. Reaching out to make you pay.
We're at war?All the papers say. We will win?I read today. We are strong?It wasn't us. We are right?Who started this. Leave your work?I just left school.
You keepin on a holdin',. A holdin' on a keepin,. No giving into taking more but still still feedin',. You keepin on a holdin',. A-holdin' on a-keepin,.
Only took a few days. Till I was sorry. That you didn't wake up. When I left you in the morning. There was love on my tongue. But it came with a warning.
i hardly recognize this place i used to call it my home. now it's filled with so many strip malls. and wendys and shitty mcdonalds. and all the houses look the same.
the sun came up exposed the cloud the city put up. grey mountains lost grey skies covered them up. so what if we can make a million cars in one day. or a million bombs to blow ourself up.
Yeah, we know what you want, we know what you need. Weaving your fantasies. Madison Avenue, make-believe. We know what you want, we know what you need.
Aruki tsukareta yoru ni tatazumu. Nagareru namida o kioku ni kasanete. Deai no kazu dake wakare wa arukedo. Kagirinai toki ga tuduku to shinjiteta. Kizutsuke atta kotoba sae ima ha dakishime.
Tell me why. Tell me why. Tell me why the wind is so cold. Take my heart inside your love. . Tell me why. Tell me why. Tell me why I feel so blue. Tell me why.
