They say they like it, but now in the market it
May not go well as it's too laid back You need some oomph-papa, nothing like Frank Zappa And not New Wave, they don't play that crap Try beating your head on a brick wall Hard like a stone Don't have time for the music They want the blood from a clone I hear a clock ticking, I feel the nitpicking I almost quit kicking at the wall There seems a confusion under the illusion That they know just what will suit you all Beating my head on a brick wall Hard like a stone Ain't got time for the music They want the blood from a clone There is no sense to it, pure pounds and pence to it They're so intense too, makes me amazed Don't want no music, but they're making you sick with Some awful noises that may get played By beating their heads on a brick wall Hard like a stone Ain't no messing 'round with music They want the blood from a clone Beating my head on a brick wall Hard like a stone Ain't got time for the music They want the blood from a clone Where will it all lead us? I thought we had freed us From the mundane, seems I'm wrong again Could be they lack roots, they're still wearing jack boots They're marching somewhere in the pouring rain Beating my head on a brick wall Hard like a stone Don't have time for the music They want the blood from a clone Beating my head on a brick wall Hard like a stone Ain't no messing 'round with music Given the blood from a clone Beating my head on a brick wall Hard like a stone Ain't got time for the music They want the blood from a clone |

Shouting all about love
While they treated you like a dog When you were the one who had made it so clear All those years ago Talking all about how to give They don't act with much honesty But you point the way to the truth when you say "All you need is love" Living with good and bad I always looked up to you Now we're left cold and sad By someone, the devil's best friend Someone who offended all We're living in a bad dream They've forgotten all about mankind And you were the one they backed up to the wall All those years ago You were the one who imagined it all All those years ago All those years ago All those years ago Deep in the darkest night I send out a prayer to you Now in the world of light Where the spirit free of the lies And all else that we despised They've forgotten all about God He's the only reason we exist Yet you were the one that they said was so weird All those years ago You said it all, though not many had ears All those years ago You had control of our smiles and our tears All those years ago Ooh, all those years ago Ooh, all those years ago Ooh, all those years ago |

Baltimore Oriole
Took one look at that mercury, forty below No life for a lady To be draggin' her feathers around in the snow Leaving me blue, off she flew To the Tangipaho, down in Louisiana Where a two-timin' jaybird Met the divine Miss O I'd like to ruffle his plumage That Baltimore Oriole Messed around with that big guy 'Til he singed her wings Forgivin' is easy, it's a woman like, now and then Could happen to thing Send her back home Home ain't home without her warbling How she can sing Make a lonely man happy, Baltimore Oriole Come down from that bough Fly to your daddy now Send her back home Home ain't home without her warbling How she can sing Make a lonely man happy, Baltimore Oriole Come down from that bough Fly to your daddy now |

He's fighting the forces of darkness limitation
Falsehood and mortality which bar him The way back into the higher world While his whole being is bewildered He does not know no law of action Taking refuge inside himself and he's saying I need someone to show me Illumine my consciousness Remove the dark from in me And give me that which I have lost As all had seemed lost a light from Heaven breaking A flash, inward illumination Enriched his life more than any words can tell He stood there, life renewed, fresh as rain Scales were falling from his eyes again The bolts of his prison opening, he's saying I found someone who showed me Illumined my consciousness Removed the dark from in me And given me that which I have lost You people don't have time to listen to him You're too busy fighting revolutions That keep you back down in the lower world Your mirrors of understanding, they need cleansing Polish away the dust of desire Before pure light will reflect in them You need someone to show you Illumine your consciousness Remove the dark from in you And give you that which you have lost Ooh Illumine my consciousness Remove the dark from in me And give me, give me that which I have lost Ooh I need someone to show me Illumine my consciousness Remove the dark from in me And give me that which I have lost You need someone to show you Illumine your consciousness Remove the dark from in you And given you that which I have lost Ooh Illumine your consciousness |

It's a story of a very unfortunate coloured man
Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong He got twenty years privilege taken away from him When he kicked old Buddha's gong And now he's poppin' the piano just to raise the price Of a ticket to the land of the free Well, he says his home's in 'Frisco where they send the rice But it's really in Tennessee That's why he says: I need someone to love me I need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco And bury my body there I need someone to lend me a fifty dollar bill and then I'll leave Hong Kong behind me For happiness once again Won't somebody believe? I've a yen to see that Bay again Every time I try to leave Sweet opium won't let me fly away I need someone to love me Need somebody to carry me home to San Francisco And bury my body there That's the story of a very unfortunate coloured man Who got arrested down in old Hong Kong He got twenty years privilege taken away from him When he kicked old Buddha's gong |

We've got to save the world
Someone else may want to use it So far we've seen This planet's rape, how we've abused it We've got to save the world The Russians have the biggest share With their long fingers everywhere And now they've bombs in outer space With laser beams and atomic waste Rain forest chopped for paper towels One acre gone in every hour Our birds and wildlife all destroyed To keep some millionaires employed We've got to save the whale Greenpeace, they've tried to diffuse it But dog food salesmen Persist on kindly to harpoon it We've got to save the world The armament consortium They're selling us plutonium Now you can make your own H-bomb Right in the kitchen with your mom The nuclear power that costs you more Than anything you've known before The halfwit's answer to a need For cancer, death, destruction, greed We've got to save the world Someone's children, they may need it So far we've seen The big business of extinction bleed it We've got to save the world We're at the mercy of so few With evil hearts determined to Reduce this planet into hell Then find a buyer and make quick sale To end upon a happy note Like trying to make concrete float Is very simple knowing that God in your heart lives We've got to save the world Someone else may want to use it It's time you knew How close we've come, we're gonna lose it We gotta save, we gotta save Gotta save the world |
