People are Afraid of Change
People are Afraid of Change
I'd like to re-arrange these ways
People are Afraid of Change
Such derangement brings me pain
But here I wait for things to take place
A little patience will pay
And here I wait for things we can't face
Would someone win this race?
CHORUS
(pain)
Unknowns are never known
Unless we have been shown that it's OK
Don't be afraid
Security is hard to break away from
Especially when life is fun
There is no need to run
'Cause a little work towards the birth
Of something new has never hurt this universe
There's no need to rehearse it
As this earth revolves
People must evolve
But one more thing is left to solve
CHORUS
(pain)
Less Than Me
Shelter sweater sheepskin
Belly ring
Arm full of wandering
My everything
Let's look at us and run away
Run away...
You made me less than me
Less than me
Less purpose in pursuit of what was me
Throw me lifelines
Throw me more time
Throw me something to push against the tide
But on a crest of you I'll ride
One more million
One million more to go
One million meagre reasons
One more show
Why didn't crossing you have crossing guards?
'Cause I had to guard my heart
CHORUS
Cream tea a cigarette an auburn mane
Insert here: my soul
Fill my vein
Witholding what's golden
Withold this hold on me
Your soul and mine are free
My Guinea Pig
My guinea pig
You're the one I dig
Nobody knows me better
My little friend
Let me make amends
I know that I could be better
Who said intelligence
Was separated by this fence
See even people growing high
So tell me why
These "people" have their heads up in the sky
My guinea pig
You're the one I dig
You're the one who's taught me more than anyone
My little friend
Let me be like I've never been
And let me hear what you always meant to tell me:
I am here
I am near
I am nearer than you'd think
I think you're thinking much too small
So you're tall
This doesn't mean a thing to me at all
(guinea pig)
Who said intelligence was separated by this fence
Who said that getting smart depended on genetic art
I'll tell you how it is
A guinea pig did teach me this:
Commune
Communicate
Damning Nostradamus
In 1503 came a man who was free
He studied his inner self
And divinity
As he wrote in his books "The Centuries"
People began to wonder:
Did he mention me?
He predicted events to come
With time and place
The fall of the rich and poor
And kings and queens from grace
As he wrote and as history has shown
The future we're waiting for is here
The future is known
So I'm damning Nostradamus
I'm damning Nostradamus
I'm damning Nostradamus for this song
Why does our logic break our fears?
It's been non-fiction for 400 years
Another pause and we wait...
Another picture of perfection now is just too late
SO GET UP OFF YOUR ARMCHAIRS
ARMAGEDDON'S COME
BUT DEFLECTING ARMAGEDDON
MEANS OUR UNITY AT ONCE
YEAH DEFLECTING ARMAGEDDON
MEANS OUR UNITY AT ONCE
Eastern Breeze
Why doesn't everyone go find what they seek?
Why doesn't everyone believe in the meek?
To inherit is inherent 'round here
And what's coming is coming faster than you'd think
Breathing deeply
Dreaming while you're asleep
Dream of walking free
Dream of growing green
Dream of centipedes
Walking slowly through this Eastern breeze
(Hand-in-hand-in-hand-in-hand with me)
You understand.
In this land in your hand there lies a line
Unclench your fist and see a miracle unwind
There's no surprise within this palm
Trees bending to the Breeze are bent
Because they're strong
Breathing deeply
Dreaming while you're asleep
Dream of walking free
Dream of growing green
Dream of centipedes
Walking slowly through this Eastern breeze
It could have been Bruce Lee
It could have been Mohammed Ali
Some powerful Thing took me
And knocked me to my knees
So listen if you please:
I am indeed down on my knees
I've been blown away by an Eastern Breeze
This Voice
Unfold your ear and listen to me
There's something here for everyone to see
I won't waste your time
Won't waste what isn't mine
Won't waste a taste of words on any friend of mine
Unfold your ear and listen to me
Prepare to hear a little bit of me
It's something simple
Something not so small
You've heard "It's all for one" before
But here it's "One for all!"
This voice
This life
This voice says life's alright
It's alright
And worth the fight
Exploding sticks of dynamite
Let examination be your guide
And let these vocal chords open wide
Chorus
So don't forget what was the past
'Cause something new has got to last
Enough of waiting longer
Ponder all of our sorrows
Yesterday was just as beautiful
As our wishes for tomorrow
This voice
This life
This voice says life's alright
It's alright
E is for Everything
I hit the batter side
I hit so hard I thought that I would die
But was alive
Before I'd go to bed
I had to shake my head of power vibes
They came from my insides
But then the muscle came
And gave me what was left to gain:
Everything
Everything
Everything
E is for Everything
I tried to help
I tried to lift myself above it all
But then You called
I knew I could
And knew I couldn't let it pass me by
It came from my inside
But then I breached
The wall I couldn't reach or couldn't see
What did it give me?
Everything
Everything
Everything
E is for Everything
So now I've reached
A point where I can teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to buy us
Yeah, to buy us all a little time
To open our minds
There are eruptions awaiting to erupt
In every one of us
My Aunt & a Guy Named Frank
This is the love story of my Aunt and a guy named Frank
They married in the month of May 1998
My aunt had a job in the local YMCA
She was temporary and worried day-to-day
But because she spent her time helping those with problems
She became
The one they wanted
Then there was Frank
He never needed to break the bank
Frank was extra shy
But not your average guy
'Cause when all else failed and no one gave a damn
Frank was there
He was your man
This is the love story of my Aunt and a guy named Frank
They married in the month of May 1998
So in the proverbial sea met my Aunt and Frank
Somehow in a million fish they met in the same fish-tank
Both were looking for that one who they hadn't found yet
They then knew
They must be bound
So on that shining day
Wedding bells did play
And strong love won't fade away
It's here to stay
This was the love story of my Aunt and a guy named Frank
They married in the month of May year 1998
Generaligion
So you tell me you've got a solid set of beliefs
I'll tell you something: this is bringing me grief!
The guy around the block had a similar sense of talk
Who's right and who's wrong?
I'll be brief...
There was a creator a maker a mover
The same title turned a hundred times over
Call it Big Bang Theory or something from Timothy Leary
So many versions of a four-leaf clover
Generaligion
This is my vision
Due to general indecision regarding religion
Generaligion
I've got this proposition:
Be a positive, optimistic, open-minded person
And call it religion
You're at my front door at my T.V. on my street
A million people preaching to a million different beats
I'll make a conclusion from these logical intrusions
Come together on the principle of fusion
If you believe in living by a creek or by the city street
If you believe that astrology or atheism's neat
Zorasterism Zen Buddhism at the other end
Everybody A thru Z is your friend
CHORUS
My brothers my sisters my friends and my enemies
Don't you know can't you see
That we are just one family?
And even though families feud
Even though this may be rude
Don't think that the rest of the world has to drink
From the same cup as you
I still will love you
