For What It's Worth
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly
clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I
think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's
going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's
wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from
behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look
what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the
street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're
always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We
better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop,
hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's
that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that
sound
Everybody look what's going down
On The Way Home
When the dream came
I held my breath with my eyes closed
I went insane
Like a smoke ring day when the wind blows
Now I won't be
back till later on
If I do come back at all
But you know me, and I miss
you now
In a strange game
I saw myself as you knew me
When the change
came
And you had a chance to see through me
Though the other side is just
the same
You can tell my dream is real
Because I love you, can you see me
now
Though we rush ahead to save our time
We are only what we feel
And
I love you, can you feel it now
Go And Say Goodbye
You ask me to read this letter
That you wrote the night
before
And you really should know better
'Cause she's worth a whole lot
more
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Is it you
don't want to see her cries?
Is that why you won't go and say goodbye?
Then you said the fault was yours
And you really were to
blame
It was as if to close the doors
And to hide away in shame
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Is it you
don't want to see her cries?
Is that why you won't go and say goodbye?
Yes, and why, tell me why
Can't you see that it's not
right?
It's a lie, it's a lie
Don't hide your sorrow in the night
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Is it you
don't want to see her cries?
Is that why you won't go and say goodbye?
And I know the pain is double
But for her it's even worse
You must face her with the trouble
'Though it's hurting like a curse
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Is it you
don't want to see her cries?
Is that why you won't go and say goodbye?
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Is it you
don't want to see her cries?
Is that why you won't go and say, gonna go and
say
Gonna go and say goodbye?
Questions
Where are we going love?
What are you feelin'?
Now that
I've caught my love
My head is reelin',
With the questions of a thousand dreams,
What you do and
what you see.
Come on lover, talk to me.
When I was on my own
Chasin' you down,
What was it made
you run.
Tryin' to get around
The questions of a thousand dreams,
What you do and what
you see.
Come on lover, talk to me.
Now that we've found each other
Where do we go now?
I'd
like to know what you're thinkin'.
Answer me slowly now
The questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you
see.
Come on lover, talk to me, yeah.
I Am A Child
I am a child, I'll last a while
You can't conceive of the
pleasure in my smile
You hold my hand, rough up my hair
It's lots of fun
to have you there
I gave to you, now, you give to me
I'd like to know what
you learned
The sky is blue and so is the sea
What is the color, when
black is burned?
What is the color?
You are a man, you understand
You
pick me up and you lay me down again
You make the rules, you say what's fair
It's lots of fun to have you there
I gave to you, now, you give to me
I'd
like to know what you learned
The sky is blue and so is the sea
What is
the color, when black is burned?
What is the color?
I am a child, I'll
last a while
You can't conceive of the pleasure in my smile
Kind Woman
I got a good reason for loving you
It's an old fashioned
sign
I kinda get the feelin' like mmm you know when
I fell in love the
first time.
Kind woman
Won't you love me tonight
The look in your
eyes
Kind woman
Don't leave me lonely tonight
Please say it's
all right
Remember once before you're hearing
The old folks say
Love's an ageless old rhyme
But now a days you know the sayin' depends so
much on
The kind of woman that you find
Kind woman
Won't you love me tonight?
The look in your
eyes
Kind woman
Don't leave me lonely tonight
Aah you say
it's all right
Kind woman
Won't you love me tonight?
The look in your
eyes
Kind woman
Don't leave me lonely tonight
Please say it's
all right
Burned
Been burned and with both feet on the ground
I've learned
that it's painful comin' down
No use runnin' away and there's no time left to stay
Now
I'm finding out that it's so confusin'
No time left and I know I'm losin'
Flashed and I think I'm fallin' down
Flashed and I think
I'm fallin' down
Crashed and my ears can't hear a sound
No use runnin' away and there's no time left to stay
Now
I'm finding out that it's so confusin'
No time left and I know I'm losin'
Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin'
No time left and
I know I'm losin'
Burned and with both feet on the ground
Burned and with
both feet on the ground
I've learned that it's painful comin' down
No use runnin' away and there's no time left to stay
Now
I'm finding out that it's so confusin'
No time left and I know I'm losin'
Hot Dusty Roads
You ask me to read this letter
That you wrote the night
before
And you really should know better
Now she's worth a whole lot more
chorus:
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Is it you don't want
to see her cries, is that why
You won't go and say goodbye
Then you said
the fault was yours
When you really were to blame
'Twas as if to close the
doors
And to hide away in shame
chorus
Yes, and why, tell me why
Can't you see that it's not right
It's a lie, it's a lie
Don't hide your
sorrow in the night
chorus
And you know the pain is double
But for her
it's even worse
You must face her with the trouble
'Though it's hurting
like a curse
chorus
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Is it
you don't want to see her cries, is that why
You won't go and say
Gonna go
and say, gonna go and say goodbye
Out Of My Mind
Out of my mind
And I just can't take it anymore
Left
behind
By myself and what I'm living for
All I hear are screams from
outside the limousines
That are taking me
Out of my mind
Through the
keyhole in an open door
Happy to find
That I don't know what I'm smiling
for
Tired of hanging on
If you've missed me, I've just gone
'Cause
they're taking me
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
And I just can't take
it anymore
Left behind
By myself and what I'm living for
All I hear are
screams from outside the limousines
That are taking me
Out of my mind
Pay The Price
Well I heard the story once before
And I know what the
tears are for
That's a lie and I just can buy
You came for me so don't try
And I see another man in your eyes
Listen you're old enough
to know you can live twice
Listen so I'm telling you just exectly what to do
'Cause you can have from me some advice
Pay the price
And if on another time or place
Another day, another face
I'm telling you babe it's all you know
That one of us should have to go
Listen I know you hate to see me cry
But I have to go and I
tell you why
Without your love I can't go on
It's easy and it's wrong
Mr. Soul
Oh, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason
For
the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season
Why in
crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin'
I'll cop out to the
change, but a stranger is putting the tease on.
I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the
world could have easily known me better
She said, You're strange, but don't
change, and I let her.
In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster?
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster
For the
race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange I should
change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?
