How did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone Porched up in a rocking-chair With my feet all bare Rolling my blunt in a cigar wrap Live an adolescent mind Never do take the time Waiting for my high, quiet as it's kept How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone Mama told me I was best Argue and punch in the chest Son, now be strong, let me take you home I'd see in her eyes so sincere Screaming, what got me here Standing in the world with my mind all blown How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone I do nothing but waste all my time Leaving the world behind Smoking my crack just to keep me high Around the boys I play my part rough Keep myself tough enough Never to cry, don't really wanna die How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone |

Just out of Monday
Run into a friend Down the street, down the street Where I live Ah! Ah! Sad things begin I could feel from within From the message, from the message He had to give 'Bout a buddy of mine Running out of time Somebody past noon, shot across the room And now the man no longer lives Too bad about him Too sad about him Don't get me wrong, the man is gone But it's a wonder he lived this long Up in the city they called him Boss Jack But down home he was a alley cat Ah! didn't care nothing about being black Oh! Billy Jack Can't be no fun (can't be no fun) To be shot, shot with a hand gun Body sprawled out, you without a doubt Running people out, there on the floor, oh oh oh Ah! Ah! Bad bloody bloody mess Shot all up in his chest One sided duel, gun and a fool What a way to go Up in the city they called him Boss Jack But down home he was a alley cat Ah! Didn't care nothin' 'bout being Black Ah, Oh, Billy Jack Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! |

From nowhere through the caravan
Round the campfire light Lovely woman in motion With hair as dark as night Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark That hypnotized me with love She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She danced around and round Guitar's melody From the fire her face was aglow How she enchanted me I'd like to hold her near And kiss her hair and whisper in her ear I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman All through the caravan She was dancing with all the men Waiting for the rising sun Everyone was having fun Hated to see her go Knowing that she'll never know That i love her That i love her I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman I love you gypsy woman Whoever compared it to part monkey part man hit the nail on the head. it has that same kind of dark, mysterious sound. the vocals are soft and understated, somewhat reminiscent to those on if i should fall behind or pony boy. the song is sung with that nasally twang bruce has grown so fond of lately. |

Great expression of happiness Boy, you could not miss with a dozen roses Such would astound you The joy of children laughing around you These are the makings of you It is true, the makings of you, oh It's been a miracle for what you've done Please stay right by my side Two can be one for the righteous way to go Anyone would know I believe I thought I told you so You're second to none Love of all mankind should reflect some sign Of these words I'm trying to recite They're close, but not quite Almost impossible to do Reciting the makings of you The righteous way to go Little one would know Or believe if I told them so You're second to none The love of all mankind should reflect some sign Of these words I'm trying to recite They're close, but not quite Almost impossible to do Reciting the makings of you |

Eddie, you should know better
Brother, you know you're wrong Think of the tears and fears You bring to your folks back home They'd say, "where did he go wrong, my Lord?" We planned and worked hard From the very start Tried to make him better Than all the rest But the brother proved to be So much less Eddie is everybody's friend But sometimes we wonder now and then The only time he'll choose you When theres's something to lose through His personal loss And the friend pays the cost All the time Must be something' that's freezin' his mind That has made him, through greed, so very blind And I don't think he's gonna make it this time |

We people who are darker than blue This ain't no time for segregatin' I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two High yellow girl, can't you tell You're just the surface of our dark deep well If your mind could really see You'd know your color the same as me Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story Get yourself together, learn to know your side Shall we commit our own genocide Before you check out your mind? I know we've all got problems That's why I'm here to say Keep peace with me and I with you Let me love in my own way Now I know we have great respect For the sister, and mother it's even better yet But there's the joker in the street Loving one brother and killing the other When the time comes and we are really free There'll be no brothers left you see We people who are darker than blue Don't let us hang around this town And let what others say come true We're just good for nothing they all figure A boyish, grown up, shiftless jigger Now we can't hardly stand for that Or is that really where it's at?

Darkness no longer, a child is born
Mother shed tears of joy as baby test his lungs My daddy's not there where he ought to be Somewhere in Georgia, skinning and shooting craps on his knees Another victim born out here in the hood And based on statistics it really ain't all good Welfare takes the tab and daddy can't sign And it can't be seen, the family becomes a crime The hunt is on and brother you're the prey Serving time in jail, it just ain't the way I'm living so hard, baby, that my hair is gray We got to make a change, it's a brand new day A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race Operation influx and it's on the way We've just marched a million plus the other day Look we all witnessed the sweat rolling down Ms Liberty's head She knows the sleeping giant is no longer sleeping dead Oh, what a fulfillment of prophecy Let us teach the children freedom's never been free It's okay to cry, go ahead and cry 'Cause Jesus wept but hope and faith he kept It's a new day A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race The die has been cast and there's no need to fear 'Cause people, the answer to your prayers are here Sister Mary don't you weep, tell Martha not to moan We need the love and daddy's coming home There's no need to worry, the times dictate a plan Mother Earth's given birth to a brand new man Sister I know you're misunderstood But hold on to your man 'cause the future looks good It's a new day A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race Beware of the lies and false prophecies We are many with eyes but don't all really see You must be merciful my friend to obtain the same So if you break the chain don't pass the blame We should say unto all and I'll say it again It's not just to win, shake a hand, make a friend We who are pure at heart somehow might see There's still light in the world, come rejoice with me It's a new day A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race A new world order, a brand new day A change of mind for the human race It's a new day, it's a new day It's a new day, it's a new day It's a new day Yes, Lord, it's a brand new day |

How did I get so far gone?
Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone Porched up in a rocking-chair With my feet all bare Rolling my blunt in a cigar wrap Live an adolescent mind Never do take the time Waiting for my high, quiet as it's kept How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone Mama told me I was best Argue and punch in the chest Son, now be strong, let me take you home I'd see in her eyes so sincere Screaming, what got me here Standing in the world with my mind all blown How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone I do nothing but waste all my time Leaving the world behind Smoking my crack just to keep me high Around the boys I play my part rough Keep myself tough enough Never to cry, don't really wanna die How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong? And where in the world did I ever go wrong? If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong?

Let's not forget though trying times there are
We have not lost the war, by far Still work to be done and as the old hymn says "We all can overcome" Let's not forget the sunrise in the sky The love and wonders why, you don't do or die But at best you try Don't let life pass you by Do what you do when you're feeling free You can be what you want to be Open your mind and you can see Baby, let's not forget this love is all we need Kiss me once and maybe kiss me twice Sweetens the spice of life my child Just give me a smile It is your big world to make it all worthwhile Let's not forget advice on love today I'm really not so wise this way So what do you say, two loving human beings Just trying to make a way Do what you do when you're feeling free, my baby You can be what you want to be, right now Open your mind and you can see, alright Baby, let's not forget this love is all we need My baby, my baby, my baby Do what you do when you're feeling free You can be what you want to be Open your mind and you can see Baby, let's not forget this love is all we need Do what you do when you're feeling free, my baby You can be what you want to be, right now Open your mind and you can see, alright Baby, let's not forget this love is all we need Do what you do when you're feeling free, my baby You can be what you want to be, right now |

Hey Hey - Love Love - Yeh Yeh - Ah Ha
Freddies dead, thats what i said. Let the man read, the plan, said it singing home But his home was a rope and he should've known. Everybody's misused him, ripped him up and abused him. Another junkie plan, pushin' dope for the man. A terrible blow, but thats how it goes. A freddies on the corner now. If you wanna be a junkie wow. Remember freddies dead. We're all built up with progress But sometimes i must confess. We can deal with rockets and dreams But reality, what does it mean? Ain't nothing said, cause freddies dead. Hey Hey-Love Love-Ha Ha-Love Love-He Hey-Ha Ha-Yeh Yeh Freddies dead All i want is some peace of mind With a little love i'm trying to find. This could be such a beautiful world, with a wonderful girl. I need a woman child. Don't wanna be like freddie now. Cause freddies dead Everybody's misused him, ripped him up and abused him. Another junkie plan, pushin' dope for the man. A freddies on the corner now. If you wanna be a junkie why, remember freddies dead. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha freddies dead Hey Hey - Ha Ha - Love Love - Ha Ha |

Hush now child,
and don't you cry Your folks might understand you by and by Move on up towards your destination You may find from time to time Complications Bight your lip and take a trip Though there may be wet road ahead You cannot slip So move on up and peace you will find Into the steeple of beautiful people Where there's only one kind So hush now child and don't you cry Your folks might understand you by and by Just move on up and keep on wishing Remember your dreams are your only schemes So keep on pushing Take nothing less - not even second best And do not obey - you must have your say You can past the test Move on up! |
