Spirits in the Material World

Oh!
There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Our so called leaders speak
With words they try to jail ya
They subjugate the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day

If it's something we can't buy
There must be another way
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

I Wanna Be Sedated

20, 20, 24 hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothin' to do, nowhere to go-oh

Hurry, hurry, hurry before I go insane

Hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go loco
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my toes
Oh, no, oh-oh, oh-oh

Easier Said Than Done

My friends all tell me
Go to him, run to him
Say sweet lovely things to him
And tell him, he's the one

Deep in my heart I know it
But it's so hard to show it
'Cause it's easier, easier said than done

My buddies tell me
Fly to him, sigh to him
Tell him I would die for him
And tell him, he's the one

Although he gives me a feeling
That sets my heart a-reeling
Yet it's easier, easier said than done

Well, I know (I know) that I love him so
But I'm afraid that he'll never know
Because I (I-I) I get so timid and shy
Each time that I look him in the eye

They all tell me

Sing to him, swing with him
And just do anything for him
And tell him, he's the one

I got a love so true
And yet I'm sad and blue
'Cause it's easier, easier said than done

Well, I know (I know) that I love him so
But I'm afraid that he'll never know
Because I (I-I) I get so timid and shy
Each time that I look him in the eye

They all tell me

Sing to him, swing with him
And just do anything for him
And tell him, he's the one

I got a love so true
And yet I'm sad and blue
'Cause it's easier, easier said than done
Easier-er-er-er, said than done

Sunshine

One a-one time, yeah.
Am I too contagious
Full of sick desire
Am I that I promise
Burning corpsed pyre
Then some dude came down to touch the Mother.
Mother touched
And dude ain't here no more.
Suck your woman down.
Am I your reflection
Melting mirror smile
Am I worth the value
Do my love defile
Then some dude came down to touch the Mother.
Mother touched and dude ain't here no more.
Ain't no day the sun don't crack.
Try brand some name across my back, so you care?
Find someone to tell you...

Sunshine, sweet love my labor.
Don't mind, I don't care no more.
Memory, set me free, yeah.
I don't care no more
Mother please, come for me
Can you face the question?
Is my soul entire?
Sunshine, sweet love my labor
Don't mind, I don't care no more
Sunshine, sweet love my labor
Don't mind, I don't care no more

House of Pain

A little past supper-time
I'm still out on the porch step sitting on my behind,
Waiting for you.
Wondering if everything is alright.
Momma said, "Come in boy, don't waste your time." I said, "I've got time.
Well, he'll be here soon."
Five years old and talking to myself.
Where were you? Where'd you go?
Daddy, can't you tell?
I'm not trying to fake it
And I ain't the one to blame.
There's no one home
In my house of pain.
I didn't write these pages
And my script's been rearranged.
No, there's no one home
In my house of pain
Wasn't I worth the time?
A boy needs a daddy like a dance to mime and all the time
I looked up to you.
I paced my room a million times.
And all I ever got was one big lie, the same old lie.
How could you?

Well, I was eighteen and still talking to myself.
Where were you? Where'd you go?
Daddy can't you tell?
I'm not trying to fake it
And I ain't the one to blame.
There's no one home
In my house of pain
I didn't write these pages
And my script's been rearranged.
No, there's no one home
In my house of pain

And I'm alone again
Well, if I learned anything from this... It's how to live on my own.

I Go Crazy

I go crazy
I go crazy when I'm without you
What have I done today
Just sat and watched the jets fly over
A car goes by
And the sun goes down
We talk about the town
This city's mad in the head
And sick in the soul
All the stars flew away a long time ago
Isn't that nice
Like Miami Vice
I go crazy when I'm without you
I go crazy when I'm without you
Well your life is like an infants dream
It's like everything's on TV
You see your face in the mirror
Could it be your place in the mirror
And so we turn on the TV one more time
And we see that everything is fine
But what have I done today
I go crazy
What have I done today
I go crazy when I'm without you
I go crazy
I go crazy
I I I go crazy when I'm without you
Go crazy
I go crazy when I'm without you
What have I done today
What have I done today
Sue-Ellen looks so upset
This isn't the first time
And it won't be the last
Things going on behind her back
Oh they give you a heart attack
I go crazy when I'm without you, go crazy
I go crazy when I'm without you, go crazy
I go crazy when I'm without you

But what have I done today
I go crazy
I go crazy
I go crazy
I go crazy
But what have I done today
I go crazy
But what have I done today
I go crazy when I'm without you
I go crazy
I go crazy when I'm without you, go crazy
I go crazy when I'm without you, go crazy
I go crazy when I'm without you
But what have I done today
I go crazy
I go crazy
I go crazy
I go crazy

A Figure Walks

It's a quick trip to the ice house
A quick trip to the ice house X 3
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
You X 7
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
A figure walks behind you
A shadow walks behind you
You X 3
And now tales of horror
Which father told me
They never scared me

But they're always in the blind
You cannot see
That figure behind you
Behind you x 2
You x 2
That figure kept on walking
Behind you
There's a man on my trail X 4
He's also behind you
Behind you X 4
That figure kept on walking X 4
Behind you X3
A figure walks 3
