G-R-E-E-D
G-R-E-E-D G-R-E-E-D It's a disease and they're all green It emanates from their being A satiation with occupation And like weeds with big leaves Stealing light from what's beneath Where they have more Still they take more I know then I don't There's a stowaway with my throat It's deceiving I don't believe him We can scream out our doors Behind the wall a fat man snores In his dreams he's Choking tea leaves Well I guess There's nothing wrong with what you say But don't sell me "There can't be better ways" Tell the captain "The boat's not safe and we're drowning" Turns out He's the one making waves, waves, waves But I said There's nothing wrong with what you say Believe me Just asking you to sway No white Or black, just grey Can you feel this World with your heart and not your brain G-R-E-E-D G-R-E-E-D |

Light green to green, dark green, brown
Every life is falling down Brown to black, it's coming back Dies to be part of the ground Seed to seedling, root to stem Eyes, no eyes, there's no difference Every life is looking in Swallowing seeds on the deathbed Dig a hole in the garden Everyone is practicing But this world's an accident I was the fool because I thought I thought the world Turns out the world thought me It's all the other way around We're upside down Dad, he's gone up in flames But this ain't no movie This ain't no book you can close When the big lie hits your eye Everyone is practicing Our world's an accident I was the fool because I thought I thought the world Turns out the world thought me It's all the other way 'round We're upside down Down, down, down Let the fluency set it down Down Let the fluency set it down There's an upside of down The moon is rolling 'round our world The moon is rolling 'round our world Our world Our world |

She nursed him there over a night
I wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay What to say? What to say? But soon she was down, soon he was low At a quarter past, a holy no She had to turn around When she couldn't hold, oh, she folded A dissident is here Escape is never the safest path Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here And to this day, she's glided on Always home but so far away, like a word misplaced Nothing said, what a waste But when she had contact with the conflict There was meaning but she sold him to the state She had to turn around When she couldn't hold, she folded A dissident is here Escape is never the safest path Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here Oh, oh, oh... She gave him away when she couldn't hold No, she folded A dissident is here Escape is never the safest path Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here Oh, couldn't hold on She couldn't hold, mo, she folded A dissident is here Escape is never the safest place Oh, a dissident is here |

How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable
This is such a happening tailpipe of a party Like sugar, the guests are so refined A confidence man, but why so beleaguered? He's not a leader, he's a Texas leaguer Swinging for the fence, got lucky with a strike Drilling for fear makes the job simple Born on third, thinks he got a triple Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way I remember when you sang That song about today Now it's tomorrow and Everything has changed A think tank of aloof multiplication A nicotine wish and a columbus decanter Retrenchment and hoggishness The aristocrat choir sings "What's the ruckus?" The haves have not a clue The immenseness of suffering And the odd negotiation, a rarity With onion-skin plausibility of life And a keyboard reaffirmation Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way through the cities Blackout weaves its way I remember when you sang That song about today Now it's tomorrow and Everything has changed. |

I have not been home since you left long ago
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven Calm steps walking backwards on the road I'm counting my way back to heaven I can't be free with what's locked inside of me If there was a key you took it in your hand There's no wrong or right but I'm sure there's good and bad The questions linger overhead No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead I'm thumbing my way back to heaven I wish that I could hold you, I wish that I had Thinking 'bout heaven I let go of the rope thinking that's what held me back And in time I've realized it's now wrapped around my neck I can't see what's next from this lonely overpass Hang my head and count my steps as another car goes past All the rusted signs we ignored throughout our lives Choosing the shiny ones instead I turned my back, now there's no turning back Mmmmmmm No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead I smile, but who am I kidding? I'm just walking the mile, every once in a while get a ride I'm thumbing my way back to heaven I'm thumbing my way back to heaven I'm thumbing my way back to heaven |

Is this just another day?
This God forgotten place First comes love, then comes pain Let the games begin Questions rise and answers fall Insurmountable Love boat captain Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear, here It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough Is this just another phase Of earthquakes making waves? Trying to shake the cancer off Aah, stupid human beings Once you hold the hand of love It's all surmountable Hold me and make it the truth That when all is lost, there'll be you 'Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing And there's just one word I still believe And it's love It's an art to live with pain Mix the light into gray Lost nine friends we'll never know Two years ago today And if our lives became too long Would it add to our regret? And the young, they can lose hope 'Cause they can't see beyond today The wisdom that the old can't give away, hey Constant recall Sometimes life don't leave you alone Hold me and make it the truth That when all is lost, there will be you 'Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing And there's just one word that I still believe And it's love, love, love, love, love Love boat captain take the reigns Steer us towards the clear I know it's already been sung Can't be said enough Love is all you need All you need is love, love, love |

Once divided, nothing left to subtract
Some words when spoken can't be taken back Walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking Future's above, but in the past, he's slow and sinking Caught a bolt 'a lightning, cursed the day he let it go Nothingman Nothingman Isn't it something? Nothingman She once believed in every story he had to tell One day she stiffened, took the other side Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell One just escapes, one's left inside the well And he who forgets will be destined to remember Nothingman Nothingman Isn't it something? Nothingman Oh, she don't want him Oh, she won't feed him after he's flown away Oh, into the sun, ah, into the sun Burn, burn Nothingman Nothingman Isn't it something?

Down. Fall by the wayside no getting out.
Down. Cry me a river dried up and dammed. The names can be changed but the place is still the same. I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down. Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line. Rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train. One day the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away. And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done. Won't let the light escape from me. Won't let the darkness swallow me. So long. |

She lived on the curve in the road
In an old tar paper shack. On the south side of the town On the wrong side of the tracks. Sometimes on the way into town We'd say, "Mama can we stop and give her a ride?" Sometimes we did But her hands flew from her side. Wild eyed Crazy Mary. Down the long dirt road Past the Parson's place. That old blue car We used to race. Little country store with a sign tacked to the side. Said 'NO L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G ALLOWED.' Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd. Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around. Take a bottle drink it down. Drink it... Pass it around. Pass it a... A-take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it a... Pass it around. One night thunder cracked. Mercy backed outside my windowsill. Dreamed I was flying High above the trees, over the hills. Looked down into the house of Mary. Terrible thoughts, newspaper covered walls. And Mary rising up above it all. Oh... Oh... Oh... Next morning on the way into town Saw some skid marks and followed them around. Over the curve, Through the fields, Into the house of Mary. That what you fear the most could meet you halfway. (x2) Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around. Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it around. Pass it a... Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it a... Pass it around. Oh, pass it a... Pass it arround. Pass it a... Pass it a... Pass it a... Oh yeah. |

There are colors on the street, red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet, people sleepin' in their shoes But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead Don't feel like Satan but I'm to them So I try to forget it anyway I can Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand Under an old street light near a garbage can Now, she's put the kid away and she's gone to get a hit She hates her life and what she's done to it That's one more kid that'll never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world We got a thousand points of light for the homeless man We got a kindler, gentler, machine gun hand We've got department stores and toilet paper Got styrofoam garbage for the ozone layer Got a man of the people says keep hope alive Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world |
