The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

Waiting For An Alibi
Valentinos got a booky shop and what he takes
He gives for what hes got
And what hes got he says he has not
Stolen from anyone
Its not that he dont tell the truth
Or even that he misspent his youth
Its just that he holds the proof
But you feel theres somethings wrong
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Valentinos in a cold sweat, placed all his money on that last bet
Against the odds he smokes another cigarette
Says that it helps him to forget
That hes a nervous wreck
Its not that he misses much
Or even that hes lost his lucky touch
Its just that he gambles so much
And you know that its wrong
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting just to catch your eye
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Try to say I told you I told you
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting just to get you
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
To say I told you
Waiting for an alibi

No People No Land
It is people's land
Laws regulations all for the people
Rulers officers judges for welfare of people.
No people no land
Without people all zero.
Come to people serve people
Do all good to people.
People's welfare motto
Actions should concentrate
For people's all round development.
Come to people serve people
If you go against people
You lose your existence
And become zero again.222

Loopholes (Free Verse)
Arizona citizens known as we the people
Did not want to pass the current laws in
Question…The legislative branch of government
Are thus known as individuals and have no
Right to create laws that the People are against…
Furthermore…The laws enacted are in violation
Of the Welfare clause of the Preamble in which
Is known as The People…In which agricultural
Crops and other jobs that depend on emigrants
For the welfare of The People who depend on
Said emigrants as essential to the welfare and
Pursuit of Happiness of The People… Thus any
state whom is not in accord with The People are
in violation of stated Clauses of The Preamble…

The preamble to the Constitution states We, the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquillity, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare... It doesn't say guarantee the general welfare. And it certainly doesn't say give welfare benefits to all the people in the country who aren't doing so well even if the reason they aren't doing so well is because they're sitting on their butts in front of the TV.

Heaven Right Now
She's everything
a married man
should look for in a girl
She's married too
but not to you
and that's part of the thrill
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
She's old enough
to know of love
and know that this is not
But young enough
to not be willing
to settle for what she's got
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
And if you get caught
you're going to hell
but it's heaven right now
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
She's everything
a married man
should look for in a girl
She's married too
but not to you
and that's part of the thrill
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
Oh, and you're going to hell
but it's heaven right now

The problem of how we finance the welfare state should not obscure a separate issue: if each person thinks he has an inalienable right to welfare, no matter what happens to the world, that's not equity, it's just creating a society where you can't ask anything of people.

Nervous Alibi
J. spinks
Cherry, where you been since 9 this morning?
Give me all the names who saw you there
But if they cant remember
I know that youll surrender
Another nervous alibi
Cherry, whats this game you think youre playing
Dont you know I hate those clothes you wear
For Ive seen men undress you
And with their eyes caress you
Another nervous alibi
Cherry, name the day and Ill be waiting
Give me just one chance to show I care
I know if were together
It can go on forever
Another nervous alibi

Humankind
Humankind, its not fair, why should we all live in fear
Humankind, its a test, to see whos the very best
Humankind, dont know why, no one cares who lives or dies
Humankind, dont look at me, look at yourself, what do you see
People - always tellin lies, they can keep their alibi
People - knockin at my door, how come they want more and more
People - talkin behind your back, most of them drive a gadillac
People - staring at your clothes - I cant take it anymore, no more
Humankind, its a shame, some dont even know their name
Humankind are so strange, some need to be rearranged
Humankind, dont know why, no one cares who lives or dies.
Humankind, dont look at me, look at yourself, what do you see
People - always tellin lies, they can keep their alibi
People - knockin at my door, how come they want more and more
People - talkin behind your back, most of them drive a gadillac
People - staring at your clothes - I cant take it anymore, no more
Tell me, tell me, whos to blame, for people acting this way
Tell me, tell me, whats so wrong, if humans just got along
Tell me, tell me, tell me please, if psychiatric help is
What we nedd - (oh)
People - always tellin lies, they can keep their alibi
People - knockin at my door, how come they want more and more
People - talkin behind your back, most of them drive a gadillac
People - staring at your clothes - I cant take it anymore,
People - yeah

Welfare Mothers
People, pick up on what Im puttin down now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Down at every laundromat in town now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
While theyre washin you can hear this sound now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Divorcee!
Hard to believe that love is free now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Out on the street with the whole family now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Hard to believe that love is free now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Divorcee!
People, pick up on what Im puttin down now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Down in every laundromat in town now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
While theyre washin you can hear this sound now
Welfare mothers make better lovers

The old welfare system was hurting people by discouraging work and marriage. Welfare reform, and now this legislation, will build on the understanding that work and strong families are the foundation upon which we build our future.

Thank god for being there
Above me you are there
To look after my welfare
What ever comes my way
I will be happy and gay
Life has its ups and downs
It gives us smiles and frowns
I will travel life’s journey mile by mile
With faith in my heart and on my lips a smile
Because above me u are there
To look after my welfare
In this birth I will do my best
In your hands I will leave the rest
There is a karma cycle I guess
So in sorrow also I will find happiness
No one is completely happy on this earth
I will do my best for the next birth
Because above me you are there
To look after my welfare
What ever you give me in that I will make do
You have given me this life and you will see me through
You are my friend mentor and guide
By virtue truth and honesty I shall abide
I know your hand is on my head
So nothing I will ever dread
Because above me you are there
To look after my welfare.

Sweet Alibi
You got your voodoo workin' on a policy
6 months down with a guarantee
And you don't need money in the first degree
But you're never ever gonna be a wannabe
Well you can catch me liggin' in a dissaray
Stretched out lying on my resume
And I'll be back for another day
But you can bet your bottom buck I'm gonna have my way
So why oh why we always stay together baby
Why I guess it was always meant to be
You give me that
Sweet alibi gimmie that gimme that
Whenever you are fallin' ooh
Your sweet alibi gimmie that gimme that
Whenever you are callin' by
You got your boom boom box in your cherokee
Got your hard drive talkin' to your phd
And when you're lucked out liggin' on your liberty
Gonna bet ya bottom buck you're comin' home to me
Two tone kickers and my herrin bone
Call my baby on the megaphone
With my dv runnin' gonna bump and groan
Whatever road you take you got your way back home
So why oh why we always stay together baby
Why I guess it was always meant to be
You give me that
Sweet alibi gimmie that gimmie that
Whenever you are fallin' ooh
Your sweet alibi gimmie that gimmie that
Whenever you are callin' by
If I make a rule you break it
It takes two you know two of us to make it
And heaven knows I try to take it
You give me all of that and that's a fact
'Cos you keep buggin' me
Sweet alibi gimmie that gimmie that
Whenever you are fallin' ooh
Your sweet alibi gimmie that gimmie that
Whenever you are callin' by

Every one get what they want
Occupation, good explanation from the beureucracy

Finally tied together
