When you come off something really disappointing, you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away.

Disappointing Daughter
Meet their disappointing daughter,
with her disappointing ways.
They would oh-so-love to humour her,
but it really never pays.
What's wrong with that girl, anyway?
She's always in a daze.
Why won't she join in with their games?
Her brother always plays.
It's not that they're ashamed of her -
but some of her displays -
and, let's face it, in public, too...
Such a disappointing daughter:
imperfect;
human;
got drunk when younger;
went out with a few dodgy blokes,
when younger -
such a disappointing daughter,
with her disappointing - unforgivably
disappointing - ways.

The Power Of Positive Drinking
Some like wine and some like hops
But what I really love is my scotch
Its the power, the power of positive drinking
Some people ruin their drinks with ice
And then they, they ask you for advice
They tell you, Ive never told anyone else before
They say, candy is dandy but liquor makes quipsters
And I dont like mixers, or sippers or sob sisters
You know, you have to be real careful where you sit down
In a bar these days
And then some people drink to unleash their libidos
And other people drink to prop up their egos
Its my burdon, man, people say
I have the kind of face you can trust
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
Some people say, alcohol makes you less lucid
And think thats true if youre kind of stupid
Im not that kind that gets himself burned twice
And some say liquor kills the cells in your head
And for that matter so does getting out of bed
When I exit, Ill go out gracefully, shot in my hand
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking

Positive Role Model
Here we are
where we were
back on everything
Went too far
now we're fine
back on everything
So much for making it day by day
Back on everything
Instead of taking another way
we're back on everything
I want a positive role model
I want a positive role model
My reflection on the street
Is that the way I walk?
Introspection as I speak
I need to change the way I talk
In a changing world
there's so much you could be
Why can't you choose your self
like your enemy?
Have you ever imagined
a new you?
I could be someone else
Somebody new
Reinvention:
my intention
I want a positive role model
I want a positive role model
I want a positive role model
I want a positive role model

Nothing was really disappointing. When something is passed over, you can't do anything about it, so you might as well look at it in a positive way.

Are You Positive
Do you think of me at all?
You say you do
But are you sure?
Are you positive?
Do you need me at all?
You say you do
But are you sure?
Are you positive?
Do you want me at all?
You say you do
But are you sure?
Are you positive?
Cos you know that my feelings for you
Can't dissapear
You know i love you more
Than i explain here
In these word
But i'm sure
I'm positive
I just like to be reassured
I need you to stay here
For me to know that i'm yours
You say that you love me
But are you sure?
Are you positive?

Be Positive
'No matter what the others do,
Be and think positive...
If only for you.'
Tell me why,
Should I...
Give that a try?
'Be positive.'
Tell me why...
When,
People negative...
Seem very proud of it,
With a showing of a negativity...
In the midst.
And,
Within their grip!
'Be positive.'
Tell me why,
Should I...
Give that a try?
When people negative,
Seem very proud of it.
'Forget what others do,
Be true to you.
And think positive.'
Tell me why?
'Don't let them beat you,
Just be positive.'
Tell me why?
'Don't let them beat you,
Just be positive.'
Tell me why?
'Forget what others do,
Be true to only you.
And think positive.'
Tell me why?
'Don't let them beat you,
Just be positive.'
Tell me why?
'Don't let them beat you or defeat you,
Just...
Be positive.'

When Paybacks Come to Eventually Visit
Punishments conceived,
With thoughtless deeds needlessly done...
Does not accentuate the positive,
For anyone involved with this kind of mischief.
Planted in one's mind,
To slowly dissolve for one's sport and fun.
A pleasure derived,
From this when inflicted...
Returns uncomfortable reactions,
To the ones hosting...
This brand of deceitful wickedness.
And multiplies dissatisfactions...
When paybacks come to eventually visit.
Ensuring emotional and physical receptions observed,
By those deserving doers...
Of this kind of urge upon them purged.
Becoming weakened without remedy...
With empathy for them absent.
And sympathy hidden submerged.
Unsettling and deep this is as it shall be.
To disturb and break those shakened nerves.

Its a very special kind of life
No ones really quite sure about their situation
Its a very funny kind of life
The only thing were positive about is the duration
Now they are standing right before you
How they were here before you
Hes a very special kind of guy
When he crosses the street he looks in both directions
Hes a very special kind of guy
And youre always wondering if hes lost his senses
Shes a very special kind of girl
And her mothers recipes have made a good thing famous
Shes a very special kind of girl
And shes always up in arms if hes late for breakfast
Now they are standing right before you
How they were here before you
Hes a very special kind of guy
When you hear him on the air you think hes lost his section
Shes a special special kind of girl
When you see her in the street you want to raise objection
Now they are standing right before you
How they were here before you
Its a very special kind of life
No ones really knows the truth about the situation
Its a very funny kind of life
The only thing were positive about is the duration

Today, certain people file for bankruptcy, businesses and individuals, and it no longer has the stigma it once had. Now it's almost considered wise, a way to regroup and come back again.

Positive
You wish for me to say something positive?
Okay!
You are positively in denial,
Of the plight of your blight!
Which is positively a result of your negative greed.
Fed by your positive inability,
To be concerned about the outcome you now face...
With positive detrimental consequences.
I can not be any more positive than that!

Is That Outlook More Positive For You?
'I had no clue this was going on.'
It has.
But you have not expressed an interest.
'What can I do to become more involved? '
In what?
The chaos?
The divisions that present themselves,
All over the place?
The teaching of the disrespectful children?
And their parents who have enabled their behavior?
Or do you want to make speeches...
To those pretending to listen,
But have learned the tecnique od falling to sleep...
Unnoticed.
'I see you still have a negative outlook on things? '
Isn't that odd?
You said that to me years ago.
And here on this very day,
You have expressed a desire to get involved.
Okay!
Let's call what you see...
An observation of a lacking of community outreach.
With a unity guaranteed to destroy a thinking mind.
Is that outlook more positive for you?

Execute The Sounds
I'm on a mad style
Underground, we come cool and deadly
With that natural sound
It make you feel so free, you no turn it down
Vibe 6-19 from the Southtown
And Jah know, what I and I wanna do
Because Jah know, I am man stay true
You know Jah know, the real who is who
Ain't no time to fake it, make ya feel brand new
It goes 1,2,3. The crew is called P.O.D.
And if you wanna go to the tip top
Break it down, with that one drop - Whyoo
Execute the sounds, and positive come around
Impact the sounds, positive all around
Execute the sounds, and positive come around
Impact the sounds, positive all around
Now why mess me, try to take his crown.
Babylon test me, we gonna smash em down
Original O.G. this is my playground
Don't take me seriously, you gonna feel it now
I man, you know the harder they come
Because I man, I'm gonna get the job done
You know I man, no they don't want none
Me never have to cheat cause me already won.
19'04, home to the real hardcore.
And you don't wanna sleep, don't talk
I'll break you down with that one drop - Whyoo
Execute the sounds, and positive come around
Impact the sounds, positive all around
Execute the sounds, and positive come around
Impact the sounds, positive all around
Execute the sounds, and positive come around
Impact the sounds, positive all around
Execute the sounds, and positive come around
Impact the sounds, positive all around

Simple And A Lot More Basic
If only I could make each tomorrow that comes,
Less disappointing than those yesterdays now gone...
I would awaken before every dawn,
With a seeking to find that rooster...
Who apparently gets more rest than I think I should get,
Before my alarm clock goes off.
I have no wish to kill it!
Just give it a stern warning!
If only I could make each tomorrow that comes,
Less disappointing than those yesterdays now gone...
Simple!
And a lot more basic.
With a crowing that's done,
Before the Sun on the horizon comes...silenced!

Ladies and gentlemen, today we're here to honor electricity, the charge that charges everything from those electrons snapping in our brain to our father the sun. What's the sun It's kind of like a brain. Electromagnetic field, solar flares sparking back and forth from those nerve cells. We're all one, folks, giant blobs of electricity, all of us. Positive & negative, electromagnetic fields just circling each other. Positive, negative, north, south, male and female. Looking for that electric moment. Magnet to magnet, opposites attract.

Orbiting goes On
what kind of society
can't providework for all,
what kind of commuinty,
can't find places for the homeless,
what kind of society has no obligation
for all the sick, crippled and infirm,
what kind of community agrees
to let some have so much more than they can use
while others not enough to live on,
what kind of society does not honor its agreements
with old aged, one parent children and orphans,
because of bad planning
what kind of community lets its neighbors starve
while others have more than enough,
what kind of family is not involved in education
to stamp out ethnic and gender discrimination,
what kind of society thrives on unemployment,
what kind of society is indifferebt to suicide,
what kind of family lets their children use and sell dope,
what kind of society lets pollution destroy the atmospheres
what kind of planet can survive this way,
and goes in search for other life
and still calls it self a democracy and democratic
