Don’t Dream It’s Over

… There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead
Many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're travelling with me
… Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
… Now I'm towing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion
But there's no proof
In the paper today
Tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page
… Hey now, hey now

Don’t Dream It’s Over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
… Now I'm walking again
To the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
… Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
You know they won't win
… Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now)
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
Don't let them win (They come, they come)
Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now), yeah
Hey now, hey now

The Power of Gold

The Power of Gold
The story is told of the power of gold

And its lure on the unsuspecting

It glitters and shines, it badgers and blinds

And constantly needs protecting

Balance the cost of the soul you lost

With the dreams you lightly sold

Are you under the power of gold

The letters and calls got you climbing the walls

And everyone wants a favor

They beg to remind you of times left behind you

But you know the past is a loser

The face you're wearing is different now

And the days run hot and cold

Are you under the power of gold
You're a creature of habit, run like a rabbit

Scared of a fear you can't name

Your own paranoia is looming before you

And nobody thinks that it's a game

Balance the cost of the soul you lost

With the dreams you lightly sold
Then tell me that you're free of the power of gold

The power of gold

The women are lovely, the wine is superb

But there's something about the song that disturbs you

The women are lovely, the wine is superb

But there's something about the song that disturbs you

The women are lovely, the wine is superb

But there's something about the song that disturbs you

United

You and I
You and I
Living together
Loving forever
At our distance
Another for instance
United United
You become me
And I becomy you
She is she
And she is you too
United United
A corresponding game to play
A special way for us to stay
United United
Its a lie
Its the same
It's a sigh
It's a game
Its the why
Its the where and the when we're United
United
You and I You and I
United United
Four faces blending blending blending
Neverending
Our places sending
Shades of evening
You and I You and I United United
Oceans between us
Sky between us
Land between us
Fire between us

We're United United
Can't stop it
United United
You are my Knight
You are my night-night my evening
Its very plain to say
Its a strange system
You miss them
You want to be them
You have to see them
You have to be them
United United
You and me la la la la
You and I
Make ourselves forever together forever and ever
United United
Love is the law
Love is the law
Love is the law
Love is the law
United United United You and I You and I United
TIme will see us
Time will free us
Time will be us
We are everywhere
There is no why
There is no sky anymore
There is just us United
United

The Game Is Over

Is the circle broken
Have we run our course
All the gestures token
Things are getting rough but
We don't care it's broken

One final parting shot
It's the one heard round the world
In all that we landed
We wind up for a (unknown) but
We don't care it's broken

Ten times, I hit you
Ten times you hit me back
Now the score is even
It's my turn for attack but
We don't care it's broken
We don't care it's broken

I don't understand what makes you act this way
Given my all
Think fast
About to pass
Is there any other way

At last it's finally over
That's what she would say
We may have disagreed
But then I'm always late
We don't care it's broken
We don't care it's broken

I don't understand what makes you act this way
Given my all
Think fast
About to pass
Is there any other way

Hit hard
Below the belt
Yes, make it hurt
Yes, make it felt
Dig fast, move out today
There is no other way

We don't care it's broken

I don't understand what makes her act this way
Given my all
Think fast
At last
Is there any other way

Think hard
But not today
The Game Is Over

Antmusic

Well, I'm standing here looking at you
What do I see? I'm looking straight through
It's so sad when you're young
To be told you're having fun
So unplug the jukebox and do us all a favor
That music's lost its taste so try another flavor
Antmusic, antmusic, antmusic, antmusic
Well, I'm standing here, what do I see?
A big nothing threatening me

To be told you're having fun
So unplug the jukebox and do us all a favor
That music's lost its taste so try another flavor
Antmusic, antmusic, antmusic, antmusic

Antmusic, antmusic, antmusic, antmusic
Don't tread on an ant, he's done nothing to you
There might come a day when he's treading on you
Don't tread on an ant, you'll end up black and blue
You cut off his head, legs come looking for you
So unplug the jukebox and do us all a favor
That music's lost its taste so try another flavor

Say It Again

I gave you glory, I gave you gold
I have you my heart, I gave you my soul
You said that love knew no pain
Put your on your heart and say it

You knocked me out, swept me off my feet
You said I made your life complete
Well, all your words were just tears in the rain
Put your on your heart and say it, say it, say it, say it again
Say it again
Say it again
Put your on your heart and say it, say it, say it, say it again

You played a game, you messed around
You cut me up, you dragged me down
You said that life knew no pain
Put your on your heart and say it, say it, say it, say it again
Say it again
Say it again
Put your on your heart and say it, say it, say it, say it again

Trust me, why don't you trust me?
He we go again confusing the situation
He we go again confusing the situation
Say it, say it, say it again

Put your hand on your heart
Put your hand on your heart
Put your hand on your heart
Put your hand on your heart
And say it, say it, say it again

So when you're down, when you're all alone
When you're lost and you're feeling low
Remember what we always said
Put your on your heart and say it, say it, say it, say it again
Say it again
Say it again
Put your on your heart and say it, say it, say it, say it again
Put your hand
Put your hand
Put your hand
Say it again
Put your hand
Put your hand
Put your hand
Say it again
Put your hand
Put your hand
Put your hand
Put your on your heart and say it, say it, say it, say it again
Put your hand
Put your hand
Put your hand
Say it again
Put your hand
Put your hand
Put your hand
Say it again
Put your hand
Put your hand
Put your hand
Put your on your heart and say it, say it, say it, say it again

Only a Lad

Johnny was bad, even as a child everybody could tell,
Everyone said, "If you don't get straight
You'll surely go to hell."

But Johnny didn't care,
He was an outlaw by the time that he was ten years old,
He didn't want to do what he was told
Just a prankster, juvenile gangster.

His teachers didn't understand,
They kicked him out of school at a tender early age,
Just because he didn't want to learn things
He had other interests
He liked to burn things!

The lady down the block,
She had a radio that Johnny wanted oh so bad,
So he took it the first chance he had.
Then he shot her in the leg,
And this is what she said
"Only a lad. You really can't blame him."
"Only a lad. Society made him."
"Only a lad. He's our responsibility."
Oh, oh, oohh oh oh oh
"Only a lad. He really couldn't help it."
"Only a lad. He didn't want to do it."
"Only a lad. He's underprivileged and abused."
Perhaps a little bit confused?

Oh oh ohhh, oohhh oh oh ohh whoa whoa whoa
Oh oh ohhh, oohhh oh oh ohh whoa whoa whoa

His parents gave up, they couldn't influence his attitude,
Nobody could help.
The little man had no gratitude.

And when he stole the car,
Nobody dreamed that he would try to take it so far.
He didn't mean to hit the poor man,
Who had to go and die.
It made the judge cry.

"Only a lad. He really couldn't help it."
"Only a lad. He didn't want to do it."
"Only a lad. He's underprivileged and abused."
Perhaps a little bit confused?
Oh oh oh, ohh ohh ohh

It's not his fault that he can't believe,
It's not his fault that he can't behave,
Society made him go astray.

Perhaps if we're nice he'll go away,
Perhaps he'll go away,
He'll go away

"Only a lad. You really can't blame him."
"Only a lad. Society made him."
"Only a lad. He's our responsibility."

Hey there Johnny you really don't fool me,
You get away with murder,
And you think it's funny!
You don't give a damn if we live or if we die
Oh oh oh, ohh ohh ohh oh oh,
Hey there Johnny boy,
I hope you fry!

Oh oh oh, ohh ohh ohh oh oh,
Oh oh oh, ohh ohh ohh oh oh.
