Minnesota (Intro)
02:21
|

|
Night falls
I could not sleep to save my soul
White walls
And all the things we left behind
All the stars in the latent sky
Shine like pale yellow moons
By the time they left Minnesota
All promises turned
To pillars of salt and stood
Till the Earth trembled,
Trembled,
Trembled
And shook

Do My Part
04:09

We’re sick of it all
Time goes by and we fall, we fall
We fall
We’re sick of it all
Time goes by and we fall, we fall
We fall
I never wanted to let you down
But you left me broken-hearted
On the road
If you call me I’ll turn around
But we left our dreams for whispers,
Chains and our own shadows
(So if you love me I’ll do my part)
(So if you love me I’ll do my part)
We’re sick of it all, time goes by and we fall, we fall
We fall
I never wanted to let you down
But the open-hearted people
Surely know
It’ll be the death of us
To sell our dreams for whispers,
Chains and our own shadows
(So if you love me I’ll do my part)
But you let your hair against mine and you
Said you’d never loved no one like this
It was just the wrong time but we
Thought we’d never need nobody else
And ooh ooh, baby
You’ve changed me
I wanna know
I wanna know if you’ve changed
Ooh ooh, babe it’s alright
Don’t lift your eyes,
They’re only shadows
They’re only shadows
Cause you let your hair against mine and you
Said you’d never loved no one like this
It was just the wrong time but we
Thought we’d never need,
Thought we’d never need
Nobody else
Nobody else
(I will do my part)
We’re sick of it all, time goes by and
We fall, we fall
We fall

I wanna get to know ya
Ooh ooh, ooh
I wanna get to know ya
Ooh ooh, ooh
You wanna talk about progress
Why don’t you talk to them
You’re talking ‘bout progress
Well how many inches deep is it in your skin
You’re pulling a fast one aren’t ya
We all know that love’s the answer
Well if it is we’d better show it
How does it feel
Unrequited love,
Of country, and kin
When will we know
Each other
How do we begin
Ooh ooh, ooh
I wanna get to know ya
But a broken heart weeps for two
I got nothing to show ya
So a lonely heart breaks in two
My only heart beats for you
How does it feel
Unrequited love
Of country and kin
When will we know
Each other
How do we begin
Ooh ooh, ooh
I wanna get to know ya
But a broken heart weeps for two
I got nothing to show ya
So a lonely heart breaks in two
My only heart beats for you

Leaving Home

Sunflower
Old friend I won’t be seeing you again
Cross the ocean
Start afresh, sunflower said what
Makes you so sure of that
I am leaving
All I know and
All that I fear and
All I’ve been told
You are with me in
Nearly every
Quiet moment
You rise each morning
And wash off the night like aftershave
Descend into the Earth
She caught your scent like an aftertaste
And the train tracks
When the day is done I don’t
Feel the same, ooh
Sunflower
I am terrified
All my dreams wash upon strange shores
Will I ever
Have somewhere, someone to call
My rubber heart, my soles to rest
You’ll be with me in
Nearly every
Quiet moment
I’ll be with you in
Nearly every
Quiet moment

Wait For Rain
04:48

|
Nobody said it’d be a good day
But nobody said it’d be so bad
He blew his mind out on the freeway
Cause he was tired of feeling sad
She said, goodbye
(So nice to see you though)
Thanks for coming to the show
Goodbye, no one
(Sorry to see you go)
Find someone else to fill that hole
We’re only waiting, waiting
Waiting for the rain
We’re only waiting, waiting
Waiting for the rain
She said goodbye
So nice to see you though
Thanks for coming to the show
Goodbye, no one
Sorry to see you go
Find someone else to fill that hole
(Ooh ooh)
(Waiting for the rain)
(Waiting for the rain)

Hour of the Dragon
03:54
|
|||
|
Men in black suits are
Coming to get me
Coming to get me and take me away
Men in black suits have
Taken everything
They’ve taken everything I love away
So where do we go
What the hell
Where the hell do we go
Men in white robes are
Living in your neighborhood
Leaving burnt warnings on your front door
Men in blue uniforms
See what they wanna see
Kill with impunity
And dream the night away
As we speak
Orders are shouted into radios
Men with guns are on their way
As we sleep
The truth comes out
Bleeding out of every pore
Something’s wrong
(Something’s wrong)
The last time I saw him
Was the hour of the dragon
He was going the wrong direction
I’ll never see you again
I’ll never see you again

The Thing
03:51

|
(The suppression… the use of marijuana)
If you lose yourself
You wear the mask
If you lose yourself
You wear the mask
Beware the mask
Become the mask
You are my one and only
You are the breath I have to hide
God, I’m so tired baby
You are the only thing that keeps me alive
I know that it isn’t safe
Forsaken for our own sake
Denying to keep the faith
While waving another man’s flag
And if freedom is the thing then
Why are we always lying
Why are we lying all the time
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We are the resistance baby
We are the truth you cannot hide
The times are changing quickly
And our song will not be denied
Well if freedom is the thing then
Why are they always lying
Why are they lying all the time
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
(And only the drum knew my name)
(Why are we always lying)
Why are we lying all the time
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
If you lose yourself
You wear the mask
If you lose yourself
You wear the mask
Beware the mask
Become the mask

If We Keep Our Eyes Down
04:27
|
|||
|
What do we find, what do we find
Seems the world’s gone lost its mind and
If I sailed my heart
On a raindrop in fall would you
Turn your face to forget it all or
Work that job till there’s nothing left of you at all
Till we’ve
Lost all hope can’t
Spare a little change can’t
Spare no time and I’m doing it for the fame and
Doing it for the money and
Doing it for the show and
God when I get home seems there’s
Nowhere left to go
I swear we’ll all break free and
When that day comes you can count on me yea
If you need somebody you can count on me
So it goes to say
Don’t block out your light
We’ll never come together
If we keep our eyes down
We’ll never come together
If we keep our eyes down
Down
What have we done, what have we done
Got all that fucking money but you ain’t got no one
I swear we’ll all break free and
When that day comes you can count on me yea if you
Need somebody you can count on me
So we slip away
To the ends of the Earth
We’ll never come together
If we keep our eyes down
We’ll never come together
If we keep our eyes down
Down

Ordinary People

(This is our message, to all the ordinary people doing extraordinary things)
This is our message to all the ordinary people
All the ordinary people doing
Extraordinary things
If they hate you I will love you
If they forsake you I will stay
If they scorn you I will accept you
If they damn you I will pray
(Aah)
This is our message to the outcasts
To the hopeless, the maligned
If they say there is but one culture
Be a rebel find your kind
This is our message to the illegals
The minimum wagers
To the criminals
Your worth cannot be held
In a bank account
Or a jail cell
This is our message to the ordinary people
Doing extraordinary things
If they hate you I will love you
If they forsake you I will stay
If they scorn you I will accept you
If they damn you I will pray
(Aah)

She was back in Arkansas when they met
By the highway on the road to Tennessee
And I never been nowhere before
But you can count on me
There were ashes in the attic that night
You hung on my ankles I looked to your feet
I get high
Watching you, watching me
Our eyes look like nothing seen before
One more mile honey
Pick it up
One rotten smile we’ll call it in well
We’re falling in love
America’s burning
This land is cruel and it tugs
At your spirit like tides to the sea
Sometimes I wonder if there’s consolation,
Retribution, how many times can a single person
Go the distance
Remember we said nothing would come
Between us, ooh ooh
Remember we said nothing would come
Between us, ooh ooh
Our eyes shine like nothing
Seen before
One more mile honey
Pack it up
One broken smile we’ll call it in well
We’re falling in love
America’s burning
We’re falling in love
We’re falling love
We’re falling
All the stars in the latent sky
Shine like pale yellow moons
By the time they left Minnesota
All promises turned
To pillars of salt and stood
Till the Earth trembled
Trembled,
Trembled
And shook
