The tax laws are written by men with considerable net worth, and with little understanding of what wage-earners must do to make ends meet.

The very fact that women now form about one-fifth of the employes in manufacture and commerce in this country has opened a vast field of industrial legislation directly affecting women as wage-earners.

Directamente A Ti (Run To You)
written by: Per Gessle
Ooh, just a little bit dangerous...
You pack your bag. You take control. You're moving into my heart and into my soul.
Get out of my way! Get out of my sight! I won't be walking on thin ice to get through the
night.
Hey, where's your work? What's your game? I know your business but I don't know
your name...
Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous. She's got what it takes to make
ends meet the eyes of a lover that hit like heat. You know she's a little bit dangerous.
You turn around, so hot and dry. You're hiding under a halo, your mouth is alive.
Get out of my way! Get out of my sight! I'm not attracted to go-go deeper tonight.
Hey, what's your word? What's your game? I know your business but I don't know your
name...
Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous. She's got what it takes to make
ends meet the eyes of a lover that hit like heat. You know she's a little bit dangerous.
Just a little bit dangerous.
Hey hey hey, what's your word? What's your game? I know your business but I don't

Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous. She's got what it takes to make

She's armed and she's extremely dangerous...

An Institutional Cast of Charecters
Lying, cheating, will full deceit
what else can a liberal arts institution
this constant personal degradation
all across this depleting nation
I've never seen a religious, pray to GOD school
demean low wage earners
with their politics, nepotism and evil
I can no longer turn
the other cheek
GOD bless the meek

Here To Love You
Michael mcdonald
Ive heard it said that the weight of the worlds problems
Is enough to make the ball fall right through space
That it aint even worth it to live
With all thats goin wrong
Well, let me just go down as saying
That Im glad to be here
Here with all the same pain and laughs everybody knows
Some men think theyre born to be king
Maybe thats true
But I think passing love around
Is all we were born to do
Let them build their kingdoms
Let them make the laws for this world to heed
cause you and I make life worth living
Right here in each others arms
Im here to love you, baby
No more loneliness
No more emptiness
Im here to love you
Let them build their kingdoms
Let them make the laws for this world to heed
cause you and I make life worth living
Right here in each others arms
Im here to love you, baby
No more loneliness
No more emptiness
Im here to love you...
Im here to love you
Just let me go on loving you
Dont stop me now while Im feeling this way...

The Era Of The Dead
They live to die!
Death, the longing of all men
They are born to die!
Fate, the companion of infants
In this era, the era of the dead.
They strip naked
Like in the garden of Eden
Where innocence ended
And righteousness melted
From the era of the dead
To make ends meet,
They meet the ends
The ends of life
A life of values and morals
And on streets, they lie naked
The era of the dead
Who insure their death
And dig their graves, the savings
To bury their souls, the wealth
Eternally in the pit of perdition.

All our work, our whole life is a matter of semantics, because words are the tools with which we work, the material out of which laws are made, out of which the Constitution was written. Everything depends on our understanding of them.

One Way Street
Hey look yonder
Whats that I see
Well that old bogus, honey
Comin after me
I goin told you
Was out of town
I wonder how she knowed
I was hangin around
Say, listen babe
Dont go wastin your time
You keep comin round
Youll hear the same old line
You got a thousand boys
You say you need em
You take whats good for you
And Ill take my freedom
cause lately its been so hard
Ive been make ends meet
And honey, your heads a
One way street
And I gotta go the other way
(heh, heh, heh)
I thought I knew her
My cagey lady
How come my sunshines
Was so damn shady
Shell say she love to talk
A conversation
But Im the one
Who makes my situation
This one way city
That I thought I knew
Its such a pity, honey
Thats it for you
cause lately its been so hard
Ive been make ends meet
And honey, your heads a
One way street
And I gotta go the other way
Theres nothing over here
I never showed you
I made it pretty clear
Im glad to know you
You know your brother spike
Hes on the level
But you always lookin
Like youre mad at the devil
Dont say I cop a tude
Its all forgotten
Its just youre much too rude
Your fruits are rotten
You know I work so hard to keep it alive
Now all I hear from you
Is nothing but jive
Lately its been so hard
Now to make ends meet
And honey, your heads a
One way street
And Im goin on the other way
Yes I do!
And lately its been so hard
To make ends meet
And honey, your heads a
One way street
And I really been feelin
Like I could be movin on
Your heads like a one way street
Youre foolin everybody you meet
I said, your heads like a one way street
Youre foolin everybody but me
I said, your heads like a one way street
Youre foolin everybody you meet
I said, your heads like a one way street
Youre foolin everybody but me...
You got to get yourself back on your feet

I Have Written My Life Away-Most Of What I Have Written Is Already Lost
I HAVE WRITTEN MY LIFE AWAY- MOST OF WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN IS ALREADY LOST
I have written my life away-
Most of what I have written is already lost-
A portion of the work remains-
And who knows how long it will last?
I will try in the time left
To make it better –
But who knows
It may be like
Much of most things
Not worth keeping-
I have written my life away-
Thank God I had the time to do this.

The Laws of God, The Laws of Man
The laws of God, the laws of man,
He may keep that will and can;
Not I: let God and man decree
Laws for themselves and not for me;
And if my ways are not as theirs
Let them mind their own affairs.
Their deeds I judge and much condemn,
Yet when did I make laws for them?
Please yourselves, say I, and they
Need only look the other way.
But no, they will not; they must still
Wrest their neighbor to their will,
And make me dance as they desire
With jail and gallows and hell-fire.
And how am I to face the odds
Of man's bedevilment and God's?
I, a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made.
They will be master, right or wrong;
Though both are foolish, both are strong.
And since, my soul, we cannot fly
To Saturn nor to Mercury,
Keep we must, if keep we can,
These foreign laws of God and man.

The Poem At The Tip Of Your Tongue
tell me about the poem at the tip
of your tongue
wet with wisdom
tell me about it and tell me
if you have finally written it
on paper
tell me if you still keep it
in your mind
while you busy with other
economic ideas
the one
which make both ends meet
the bread and butter thing
tell me if the poem is still there
unwritten
or if written in haste
still unfinished
or if finished
so sketchy
like a quick scratch
to an itch of this flea
tell me if you have the courage
of writing the lines
to beauty that you always ignore
to gentleness that you set aside
to grace that you dislike
to God
whom you have offended
tell me what your silence means
let me decipher
what you think what you still refuse
to write
tell me, i know,
everything is gone like a whisper of the wind
far away from your deaf ears

The Chronicles of Acid Part 2 Forgotten
Such a condemning word
People in herds use it all day
That is why I must say
My rhyme
Forgotten truly means so more much more
It means you've become one to abhor
It means you're not worth remembering
It means you're not worth loving
It means that you'll just fade when you die
Whether or not you do good and help your friends tie
Their ends and make them meet
With loss of memory they'll greet
You as a stranger
You who loved her
Because you're forgotten
Not remembered
Doesn't matter if you surrendered
And gave them everything, because now you're just a pen
Now you're just these words, just the memories you hold
The stories you told
Because all their memory of you
Is 'who? '
Cause now you're forgotten and that's even worse then 'Not Knowing'

Worth Every Mile
Written by Travis Tritt
The roads that we've traveled
Ain't always been easy
Lord knows we've both seen our share
Of troubles and trials
It's hard to believe
We made it so far together
But just between you and me darling
It was worth every mile
Chorus:
It was worth every storm
We had to weather
It was worth all the evenings
We cried together
When the going got toughest
I could count on your smile
And looking back now I can say
It was worth every mile
I know you and I both had our doubts
That we'd make it
But deep in the back of our minds
We knew all along
That love's not for quitters
So we kept ours moving
Oh and I think you'll have to agree
It was worth every mile
Chorus
And looking back now I can say
It was worth every mile

One Of The Few
When youre one of the few to land on your feet
What do you do to make ends meet?
Teach
Make them mad, make them sad, make them add two and two
Make them me, make them you, make them do what you want them to
Make them laugh, make them cry, make them lie down and die

Hatred is same.
War of minds that royal ones wage.
War of words that common ones wage.
War of swords that men in slums wage.
Hatred is same; routs are different.
