Now you can tear a building down
But you can't erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you can't see This is my neighborhood This is where I come from I call this place my home You call this place a slum You wanna run the people out This is what you're all about Treat poor people just like trash Turn around and make big cash Now you can tear a building down But you can't erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you can't see Last month there was a fire I saw seven children die You sent flowers to their families But your sympathy's a lie 'Cause every building that you burn Is more blood money that you earn We are forced to relocate From the pain that you create Now you can tear a building down But you can't erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you can't see Now you can tear a building down But you can't erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you can't see We lived here for so many years Now this house is full of fear For a profit you will take control Where will all the older people go? There used to be when kids could play Without the scourge of drug's decay Now our kids are living dead They crack and blow their lives away Now you can tear a building down But you can't erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you can't see Now you can tear a building down But you can't erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you can't see You've got to fight You've got to fight You've got to fight For your neighborhood You've got to fight For your neighbor |

I don't have a need to be the best Don't want to be just like the rest Just stay who I am Just an ordinary Middle Man Give me the happy medium Don't want to be the one whose leading them I've got no master plan Just a simple Middle Man Standing on a fine line between this and that Just biding my time waiting for a sign To tell me that I'm something special My ideas are mine alone Not yours, not theirs, but I care I hurt for you, but not with you I love that thing that's inside you But I'm not your fan I'm a stranger in a strange land I'm your Middle Man But I'm not your fan I'm a stranger in a strange land I am your Middle Man |

Do you remember here? No you don't remember anything at all I'm here flat on my back Never woke up - had no regrets There's a party in my mind And I hope it never stops They party all the time Gonna party till they drop Other people can go home Other people they can split I can never stop I can never quit Take a walk through the land of the shadows Take a walk through the peaceful meadows Don't look so disappointed Isn't what you hoped for is it? There's a party in my mind And I hope it never stops I'm stuck here in this seat And I may not stand up Other people can go home Other people they can split I can never stop I can never quit Everything is quiet Everyone's gone to sleep I'm wide awake But these memories These memories can't wait These memories can't wait |

Tabloids scream Elvis seen at a shopping mall That's the kind of talk That makes my stomach crawl Picture a zombie Elvis In a tacky white jump suit Just imagine a rotting Elvis Shopping for fresh fruit You can't 'cause Chorus: Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead When the king died He was all alone I heard that when he died He was sitting on his throne Alas poor Elvis They made us know you well Now you dwell forever In the Heartbreak Hotel Chorus Elvis was a hero to most But that's beside the point A Black man taught him how to sing And then he was crowned king The pelvis of Elvis Too dangerous for the masses They cleaned him up and sent him to Vegas Now the masses are his slave Slave? Slave Yes, even from the grave Elvis is dead [sampled voices] I've got a reason to believe We all won't be received at Graceland I've got a reason to believe We all won't be received at Graceland I've got a reason to believe We all won't be received at Graceland I've got a reason to believe We all won't be received at Graceland Chorus |

Stereotype Monotype Blood type Are you my type? Minimalism Abstract expressionism Postmodernism Is it? We are the children of concrete and steel This is the place where the truth is concealed This is the time when the lie is revealed Everything is possible, but nothing is real Corporate religion Televangahypnotism Suffer till you die For the sweet-bye-and-bye Science and technology, the new mythology Look deep inside Empty We are the children of concrete and steel This is the place where the truth is concealed This is the time when the lie is revealed Everything is possible, but nothing is real Everything that goes around Comes around Hypothetical Theoretical Circumstantial evidence Irrelevance Don't think twice Just roll the dice Pay the price Snake eyes We are the children of concrete and steel This is the place where the truth is concealed This is the time when the lie is revealed Everything is possible, but nothing is real We are the children of concrete and steel This is the place where your fate has been sealed This is the time when your life is revealed Everything is possible, but nothing is real Everything that goes around Comes around |

When it hurts to be out there Where no one will care I've got the solace of you Frustrated by people's lying But I keep on trying I've got the solace of you When I can't think straight And there's no escape I've got the solace of you Gotta go inside back where it started Back to the beginning 'Cause that's where my heart is They can hurt me, jail my body I'll still be free I've got the solace of you They can take my land Tell me I'm not who I am I've got the solace of you A wise man said to know thyself 'Cause in the end there's no one else Just the solace of you Gotta go inside back where it started Back to the beginning 'Cause that's where my heart is Gotta go inside Back to the beginning |

When I speak out loud You say I'm crazy When I'm feeling proud You say I'm lazy I look around and see the true reality You like our hair You love our music Our culture's large, so you abuse it Take time to understand, I'm an equal man Chorus: History's a lie that they teach you in school A fraudulent view called the golden rule A peaceful land that was born civilized Was robbed of its riches, its freedom, its pride When I'm at work you say I'm great You watch and ponder, but can you relate? Inviting eyes hands drop, when the music stops Don't ask me why I play this music It's my culture, so naturally I use it I state my claim to say, it's here for all to play Chorus It's time for a change Concepts rearrange Can't you feel my rage... It's up to you to seek the truth To know your history, the difference between me and you Relate to me as me, not what you see on TV Chorus |

Time's up/the rivers have no life Time's up/the world is full of strife Time's up/the sky is falling Time's up/the Lord is calling How you gonna stop the clock When the well runs dry All the rivers have died Moment by moment, day by day The world is just slipping away Your future won't save your past The time is now, it won't last The time is nigh Time to do-or-die Time waits for no one If you want to go on Leave me something to grow on The forests, the trees, the rivers, the seas All die of this disease Time ain't on your side Don't sit idly by You've just got to try |

What is the point of suffering? What is the purpose of joy? Is it true that the winner dies With the most toys? A lifetime spent for a dollar A lifetime twisting in pain A lifetime gone in an hour A lifetime playing the game I see the starving Africans on TV I feel it has nothing to do with me I sent my twenty dollars to Liveaid I've aided my guilty conscience to go away Now go Away Now go away Now go away Go away I don't want anybody to touch me I think everybody has AIDS What's the point in caring for you? You're gonna die anyway A lifetime searching for something A lifetime going insane A lifetime running from nothing A life looking for someone to blame I see the starving Africans on TV I feel it has nothing to do with me I sent my twenty dollars to Liveaid I've aided my guilty conscience to go away Now go Away Now go away Now go away Go away I see the starving Africans on TV I feel it has nothing to do with me I sent my twenty dollars to Liveaid And paid my guilty conscience to go away I see the starving Africans on TV I feel it has nothing to do with me I sent my twenty dollars to Liveaid And paid my guilty conscience Now go Away Now go away Now go away Now go away, go away, go away |

Like a descendant (?) I drift afar Far and wide Isolation separation Nowhere to hide Maybe there's somewhere I can go Where there's sunshine and the wind won't blow Nothingness All I have to feel is my lonliness Nothing in the attic 'cept an empty chest And nothing lasts forever Although there are many I look for no one No one but me I search for things That will take me high and far out of reach But this is the place I will call my own I live with the lies and the fear all alone Nothingness Lonliness Empty chest And nothing lasts forever |

The morning is dead and the day, is, too. The step is up here to meet me but the velvet fool. All my loveliness I have felt today. It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away. And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone. Now the smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall It really doesn't really doesn't bother me to watch at all It's just the ah ever fallinglove dust that makes it so hard for me to see that forgotten earring clear on the floor facing coolly the one at the door And I continue to burn the midnight lamp alone. Yeah yeah. Lonely lonely lonely. Ah. Oh. Loneliness is such a drag. So here I sit to face that same old fire place getting' ready for the same old explosion goin' through my mind. Yes, soon enough time will tell about the circus in the wishing well and someone who will buy and sell for me, someone who will tow my bail And I continue to burn the same old lamp alone Yeah midnight lamp, Can you hear me callin' you? So lonely. Gotta blow my mine Yeah, yeah. Lonely lonely. |

It's getting near dawn,
When lights close their tired eyes. I'll soon be with you my love, To give you my dawn surprise. I'll be with you darling soon, I'll be with you when the stars start falling. I've been waiting so long To be where I'm going In the sunshine of your love. I'm with you my love, The light's shining through on you. Yes, I'm with you my love, It's the morning and just we two. I'll stay with you darling now, I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up. [Chorus] I've been waiting so long I've been waiting so long I've been waiting so long To be where I'm going In the sunshine of your love |

I jumped out of the window to get to the parking lot
I'm writing this little song on my way down Never in my life have I felt a heat so hot I had to get out Such a lovely day to go flying The sky is so clear, the sun is shining Fate has given me wings Such a terrible funny thing I was gathering up my nerve to ask out Carmen She glanced out of the window, oh my God! The room, it went away, now we're holding hands Just not the way I planned Such a lovely day to go flying The sky is so clear, the sun is shining Fate has given me wings Such a terrible funny thing, funny thing I jumped out the window to get to the parking lot I'm writing this little song on my way down Such a lovely day to go flying The sky is so clear, the sun is shining Fate has given me wings Such a terrible funny thing, funny thing Such a funny thing, funny thing, funny thing Such a terrible funny thing |

I always thought our relationship was cool
You played the role of having sense I always played the fool Now something's different I don't know the reason why Whenever we separate I almost want to cry [Chorus] Oh no, please not that again Love rears up its ugly head And when I come home late you don't complain or call So as a consequence I don't go out at all My friends are frightened They don't know what's going on They think you put a spell on me And now my mind is gone [Chorus] Love's not so bad they say But you never know where love is gonna go Does anybody really know? I'm standing at the altar As they play the wedding march I'm in a black tuxedo with my collar full of starch She looks as lovely as she's ever gonna get I wake up from this nightmare in a pool of sweat [Chorus] What you gonna do What you gonna do when it comes and gets you? |
