What gives you the right hey you
To stand there and tell me what to do Tell me who gave you the power To stop me from livin' like I do Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away. Don't bite the hand that feeds you Just one time I'd like to be somewhere where None of your clever lies fill the air I'm tired of your frozen smile and voice of tin Just might all gang up on you Turn the knob and do you in Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away. Don't bite the hand that feeds you This never ending power play 'Tween Jealousy, greed and vicious hate Is grinding us like giant millstones But it can't be our only fate It's time we got our heads together And let 'em know that we're awake Those in the dark, you know they're no longer blind They're breakin' from your strangle hold on their minds Those who can see don't need no one to cross the street Be careful who you're pushin' round They just might find you obsolete Remember if you plan to stay Those who give can take away. Don't bite the hand that feeds you |

What can you see with your ear on the ground
Try to lift up your feet, girl, and take a look around Let me see your eyes girl We've got to make them big If you'd like to see the truth I'd better tighten up your wig Your mind is too narrow, and it's no surprise If you fell on a pin, well, you'd be blind in both eyes Oh, let me see your head, girl, we've got to make it big Until your ears come apart, I better tighten up your wig Watch out for the lunch bunch, they'll try bring you down Don't get hung up in the shower, baby, you might drown Oh yeah, oh, your head looks kinda big Before I loose you mind, girl, I better tighten up your wig Just before we go, I'd like to mention Junior Wells We stole his thing from him, and he from someone else Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he plays the blues like few before May he play forevermore |

Oh Woman, don't you know me?
Has it been so long that you forgot I thought of you just yesterday My time it has been dragging And I've changed girl but so have you Please don't turn your face away It's in your eyes I know Where did the sparkle go? Sparkle eyes used to shine ev'ry day God, I wish I never had seen you looking this way Can't recall just who was wrong Guess it doesn't matter now To dredge the past I've no desire But it hurts to feel your sadness And to see the life you've led Faceless fountains cooled your fire It was mine not long ago Where did the sparkle flow? Sparkle Eyes used to smile at the rain Don't I wish that I could see it again Where did the sparkle go? Now if I only knew where to begin Girl, I'd try to break your fall and stop your spin But time has changed us both too many ways And I'm looking at a strange and empty face And your eyes used to shine every day If I had only never seen you lookin' this way Those faceless fountains they cooled your fire It was mine not so very long ago Your eyes would laugh at the rain You don't know how I wish I could see it again I just can't stand to watch you goin' down slow Where did the sparkle go? |

Take what you got to give and let it shine
Take what you got to give but leave me mine Nobody likes you the way that I could For you, I'd dive to the bottom Don't you know I surely would Can you hear me callin' late at night when love comes tumblin' down Slidin' in your kitchen late at night, hear me stumblin' around Someday you'll want me the way I want you And then I'll climb thru your mountain if you really want me to Don't hold your knife so close to my head I'll hide all the shackles and chains on my bed I know I'm a rounder, it's hard to forget After all the little playful things I've done Now if you believe me, then let us be kind We'll sit down together and talk over wine If you show me your game, then I'll show you mine 'Til our shadows fade beneath the rising sun |

JADED STRUMPET(4:40)
"You know I got a thing for women." "They all need, and know their demon." "Diamonds are secrets, don't them on your ass." "I got a high strutting loser." "She's clean, and always choosing." "She got her way to the head of the gays." (CHORUS): "And they call her Jaded Strumpet." "You know that girl shows who's trumpet." "Got a hootchie cootchie broad now." "You know that she shows you there." (END CHORUS): "What she wants is the world's permission." "She pleased her needs, and death pisition." "What the word is what that she might say." |

How ya gonna make it baby?
That's the question to be asked Life goes on around you In so many different ways I know my share of history How hard it is to be free From wearing masks that turn to skin Hiding what you could have been And I, I'm so confused Which way, which way to choose? Ride with me baby 'til the end of the day Mama's home philosophy Makes everyone a freak but me Though I'm starvin' in the streets And can't predict the future Mirror, mirror on the wall Who's the sanest of us all? Is he with me or one of them? How does he dress, who are his friends? And I, I'm so confused Which way, which way to choose? Ride with me baby 'til the end of the day Mama's home philosophy Makes everyone a freak but me Though I'm starvin' in the streets And can't predict the future Can I have my vision back? I'll live outside your city walls You don't have to be afraid Until I come together |

In hopes of a garden
The scent of a smile A long summer's day love Quickly dissolves away In hopes of a garden The scent of a smile A long summer's day love We'll use our hopes as a place We'll use out hopes as a place Come with me Come with me Come with me |
