“You know it's funny, when it rains it pours
They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor
Said it ain't no hope for the youth and the truth is
It ain't no hope for tha future
And then they wonder why we crazy”
"The death of a disco dancer
Well, it happens a lot 'round here
And if you think Peace
Is a common goal
That goes to show
How little you know
The death of a disco dancer
Well, I'd rather not get involved
I never talk to my neighbour
I'd rather not get involved
Oh
Love, peace and harmony?
Love, peace and harmony?
Oh, very nice
Very nice
Very nice
Very nice
But maybe in the next world”
“Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name”
“if it's not love
Then it's the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb
The bomb, the bomb
The bomb that will bring us together”
“I memorized the verses
And the names of every road
Then studying the history saw how badly things can go
And I thought you saw it too
I swear I learned it all from you
But now our home is burning and you don't have a clue
From a disappointed son
To the city that he loves
The flags you wave around have got me wondering . . .
My Phoenix
My Phoenix
If my Phoenix still shines
If my Phoenix will rise
If the vision of the Christ
My family sees
Is not the revision's greatest enemy
Then I still try to tune it in
When I get lonely
You know I chase around this desert because I think that's where you'll be
Whether high and lifted up
Or the dust becoming dust
Somehow I'm still in love
With my Phoenix
My Phoenix
My Phoenix still shines
My Phoenix will rise”

“Some folks trust to reason
Others trust in might . . .
Say it once again now
Oh I hope you understand
When it's done and over
Lord, a man is just a man
Some folks look for answers
Others look for fights
Some folks climb the treetops
Just looking for their kites
. . . If a man among you
Got no sin upon his hand,
Let him cast a stone at me
For playing in the band . . . “
“What more do you want?
What do you want more for?”
Turning on the taps of wastefulness,
we don’t want no part of this.
And still you want more.
More than you have any use for.”
“Sometimes it’s hard to remember
Sometimes it’s hard to recall
The reasons why we’re here
The reasons why we’re even here at all
Then it hits me, hits me like a big jolt
Coming straight into my brain
That the only reasons why we’re here
Is just to love away the pain
Yeah we’re here just to love away the pain
Cause it’s a painful world we live in
Painful yes it’s true
And the only thing we’ve been given
Is just enough love to pull us through
Take a good look around you
Tell me what do you see?
Half the world is paying for love
Paying for love that should be free
Yes, so now it’s back to the trenches
Finding love in a rude world”
“If you turn from the world
There are colors you'll never see”

“Well, welcome to the season
of suspicion and what not
where the only reason
is based on why not
maybe your bank account
is not a high enough amount
just jingling your pockets
full of quarters, well
Love knows no borders.”
“So many things I do
I can't explain to you
Right now, right now
Love is everywhere
Right now, I'm frightened how
Love is here, beware”
“There is no mother like pain”
“If you're telling yourself a story
Where the secrets twist like vines
And you know where the bodies are buried
But you can't remember where you buried the mines”
“Tell me no lies
Tell me no lies
Is it stranger to live?
Is it stranger to die?
What would I do?
What would I do?
If a white wooden cross meant that I'd lost you”
“I remember when wars would end
Remember when wars would end?
Now when something's dead
Now when something's dead
We try to kill it again.”
“All around is anger, automatic guns
Death in large numbers, no respect for woman, or our little ones
I tried talking to Jesus, but he just put me on hold
Said he'd been swamped by calls this week
And He could not shake his cold
And still this emptiness persists
Perhaps this is as good as it gets
When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
Now I leave the party early at least with no regrets
I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets
Yeah this is as good as it gets
My my my, It's a beautiful world”

“I don't know nothing except change will come
Year after year what we do is undone
Time keeps moving from a crawl to a run
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
You're out there walking down a highway
And all of the signs got blown away
Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction
But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy
So many things that I had before
That don't matter to me now
Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost
And the love I've never found
When the last bird falls
And the last siren sounds
Someone will say what's been said before
Its only love we were looking for”
