Common Sense Tells You...
common sense tells you...
when you break into a poor
working man's house,
and try to steal his food,
possessions, or whatever he has...
and try to harm his family,
he's gonna fight back.
it's just a given.
so why dont our government,
our bankers, and our corporate leaders
understand this?

Bad Bad Boy
Im a bad, bad, boy
And Im gonna steal your love
Said Im a bad, bad, boy
And Im gonna steal your love
Come take me to your house
Then Im gonna rip you off
Well I made my first kill
With the old town girl
She was the apple of her daddys eye
Well that woman looked up at me
And I said honey well be
Together till the day I die
But I lied

And Im gonna steal your love
Im a bad, bad, boy
And Im gonna steal your love
Come take me to your house
Then Im gonna rip you off
There seems to be no end
Of women who are lookin for a man
My services dont come cheap
But I help out when I can
Tell them lies that they wanna hear
Andi really lead em on
Spend all of their money
And Im long, gone

And Im gonna steal your love

And Im gonna steal your love
Come take me to your house
Then Im gonna rip you off
Ive got tastes for fast cars
I dont wanna settle down
The good life sure come s easily
With all the mugs around
The women they just come to me
I dont have to look around
I move into their homes with them
Then I move on
Im a bad, bad, boy
And Im gonna steal your love
Im a bad, bad, boy

March Barefoot...
gonna march barefoot on Washington,
with what i got left on my back.
gonna stand on the steps,
take off my hat,
and tell then that common folks
are still about!
gonna sing them a song about working,
something they dont know much about!
show them a picture of my house and family,
a picture's all that's left.
gonna hand them a dollar bill,
make them read,
'in God we trust'...
ask them what this god looks like!
gonna, gonna, gonna!

Anarchists
The leaders of this country,
Think were the ones that do wrong,
They take control of the power,
and steal this land of forgotten freedom
Its not the people afraid of the government,
Its the government afraid of the people
They call the ones dressed in black,
The evil ones but we fight back,
We've got hackers, we've got protesters,
we let no man left behind
Its not the people afraid of the government,
Its the government afraid of the people
The unions dressed in black,
With their flag raised up high,
Don't take no for an answer,
As the forces stain the streets with blood
Its not the people afraid of the government,
Its the government afraid of the people
We fight for the people,
Our obligation is good as gold,
And though we fight with arms of steel,
we don't let death go in vein
Its not the people afraid of the government,
Its the government afraid of the people

Common sense tells us that the government's attempts to solve large problems more often create new ones. Common sense also tells us that a top-down, one-size-fits-all plan will not improve the workings of a nationwide health-care system that accounts for one-sixth of our economy.

Just An Old Truth Teller
Lester atlas, a crude, very rich corporate raider, traps norman in the caribbean dream by offering to buy the hotel for him, and then welshing on the deal when norman can no long back out. he is
Spicable but somehow lovable rogue, who in his own mind is a magnanimous, misunderstood benefactor of humanity. what other people call corporate raiding, he explains, telling the truth in busine
Tters. why jimmy decided to give him a song with a tango rhythm and a klezmer trill I dont know, but it works.
Im just an old truth teller
Im your candid friend
Im not some daydream seller
I do not pretend
Ive a sense of survival
And screwing my rivals
Thats labeled me crossed and uncouth
But I cant help it I just tell the truth
He cant help it, he just tells the truth
Im just an old truth teller
Brutally direct
I see it eye for eye
Im rarely incorrect
Why call me a sharp trader
A corporate raider
Im a role model for todays youth
Its so simple, I just tell the truth
He cant help it, he just tells the truth
Bridge:
Why was I born to be right all the time
In deal after deal after deal
Foiling those sharks that are circling my penthouse
Hoping to make a meal
No good deed goes unpunished
Nothing goes as planed
My ingrate family left me
I dont understand
Wheres your wife?
In alaska
Any sons?
In nebraska
And my daughter milks cows in duluth
I cant help it, I just tell the truth
Ohh he cant help it, he just sells it
He cant help, he just tells it
I cant help, I just tell the truth

Row Jimmy
Julie catch a rabbit by his hair
Come back steppin like to walk on air
Get back home where you belong
And dont you run off no more.
Dont hang your head, let the two time roll
Grass shack nailed to a pine wood floor
Ask the time baby I dont know
Come back later, gonna let it show.
I say row jimmy row, gonna get there, I dont know,
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.
Heres a half dollar if you dare
Double twist when you hit the air,
Look at julie down below,
The levee doin the do-pas-o.
I say row jimmy row, gonna get there, I dont know
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.
Broken heart dont feel so bad,
You aint got half of what you thought you had.
Rock you baby to and fro
Not too fast and not too slow.
I say row jimmy row, gonna get there, I dont know,
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.
Thats the way its been in town,
Ever since they tore the jukebox down.
Two bit piece dont buy no more,
Not so much as it done before.
I say row jimmy row, gonna get there I dont know
Seems a common way to go, get out and row, row, row, row, row.

Poor House
You walk in, half past nine
Lookin like a queen
Serving me with papers
Calling me obscene
Woman Ive tried so hard
Just to do my best
Theyre gonna put me in the poor house
And youll take all the rest
Up all day, down all night
Working on the job
Everything I do is wrong
I always end up [..]
Woman I try so hard
Done all I can do.
Theyre gonna put me in the poor house
Keep all the best for you.
Ooh, in the poor house
Ooh, in the poor house
If a drove a pulpwood truck
Would you love me more?
Will you bring me diamonds
And hang around my door
Woman, Ive done my best
Theyre aint much left for me
Theyre gonna put me in the poor house
And throw away the key (in the poor house)
Ooh, in the poor house
You walked in, half past nine
Lookin like a queen
Serving me with papers
Calling me obscene
Woman Ive tried so hard
Just to do my best
Theyre gonna put me in the poor house
And youll take all the rest
In the poor house
Ooh, in the poor house
In the poor house

Not Gonna Be Alone Tonight
Saw her standing in the street in a hat made out of skin
Underneath a stormy sky like a heroine
Over me came the feeling that I'd never win
She's owning me like a dog to a God
I'm not gonna let you go this time
Not gonna be alone tonight,
You can try to break me down
Or start a fight
I'm not gonna be alone tonight
I'm not gonna let you go this time
Not gonna be alone tonight,
You can try to break me down
Or start a fight
I'm gonna get you gonna win (x2)
I'm more than glad to take one on the chin, baby
As long as I've got your attention
Save me stop sneaking pain to the cranium
Blame me, let me out from underneath your thumb
I'm not gonna let you go this time
Not gonna be alone tonight,
You can try to break me down
Or start a fight
I'm not gonna be alone tonight
I'm not gonna let you go this time
Not gonna be alone tonight,
You can try to break me down
Or start a fight
I'm gonna get you gonna win (x2)
My senses are six and they need their fix from you
Underneath a stormy sky I'm holding you
Over me comes the feeling you could come around
Baby give me a chance and you hand and remove that crown
I'm not gonna let you go this time
Not gonna be alone tonight,
You can try to break me down
Or start a fight
I'm not gonna be alone tonight
I'm not gonna let you go this time
Not gonna be alone tonight,
You can try to break me down
Or start a fight
I'm gonna get you gonna win (x4)
Get the feeling you could come around

The Children Of Cain
it has always been
inherently taught,
said without saying,
in this country,
(and i'm sure in others)
that killing someone
of a different nationality,
a different race, a different faith,
as an act of war,
is not murder...
but it is!
i'm probably not as passive
as i should be...
if someone breaks in your house,
and threatens you family,
i say fight back.
if someone tries to rob you,
fight back.
if someone rapes your wife,
or your daughters,
fight back!
but know every action
has a consequence!
if going to war is economically
profitable, if it allows you
to spread your form of government
by force, if you're doing it
in the name of your god....
it's murder!
and you dont have much of a god!
ask the Native Americans!
we've killed more of them
than Hitler killed Jews...
yet he was a demon,
and we are the land of the free?
c'mon now!
all people are people.
all that live are sacred!
and we, the children of Cain,
cannot lie to ourselves anymore!

Soon therell be laughter and voices
And the clouds over the mountains
Well run away on roads that are empty
Lights from the airfield shining above you
Nothing can stop us, no no I love you

Well run away, to everything simple
Night will come down our guardian angel
We rush ahead the crossroads are empty
Our spirits rise they are not gonna get us
My love for you always forever
Just you and me all else is nothing
Not going back - not going back there

Crossfire
Music :rudolf schenker
Lyrics:klaus meine
It seems to me a nightmare becomes reality
The last days of the paradise are gone for you and me
Were living in the crossfire
And well be killed at first
Why cannot people that we made the leaders of the world
Understand that we dont wanna fight
Understand that we are mush too young to die
Understand no one will survive
Understand that we love our life
Can I trust the meaning of the life line in my hand
Which is as long as exciting hundred years
I could be a lucky man
But Im living in the crossfire
Of a time that starts to burn
Why cannot people that we made the leaders of the world
Understand that we dont wanna fight
Understand that we are mush too young to die
Understand no one will survive
Understand that we love our life

Just One Kiss
You look a little lonely, babe, a little blue
You know youre not the only one, Im lonely too
I been surviving just day by day
I had some dreams but they all blew away
And then I saw your face across a crowded room
My heart missed a beat, oh, did you feel it too
To trust someone you just gotta be bold
The wall that youre building is crumbling, oh
Why dont we break it down
Why dont we break it down, pretty baby
Its gonna, its gonna take
Take just one kiss, just one kiss
Its gonna, its gonna take
Take just one kiss
To break it down
You look a little lonely, babe, a little blue
I said youre not the only one, Im lonely too
I cant deny my heart anymore
You give me a feeling that I cant ignore
You try to play it safe, but youre not really shy
You try to look away, but I caught your eye
You cant hide, its all over your face
The barrier between us is losing its place
Why dont we break it down
Why dont we break it down, pretty baby
Its gonna, its gonna take
Take just one kiss, just one kiss
Its gonna, its gonna take,
Take just one kiss, yeah just one kiss,
Its gonna, its gonna take
Take just one kiss
To break it down
Why dont we break it down
Why dont we break it down, pretty baby

Love Of The Common People
Living on free food tickets
Theres water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came in
But what can you do
Well you got tears from your little sister
Crying cause she doesnt have a dress without a patch
For the party to go
Oh but you know that shes gonna get by
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddys gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamas gonna love you just as much as she can
As she can
Oh yeah
And its a good thing you dont have bus fare
It would fall through the whole in your pocket
And youd lose it in the snow on the ground
You better walk to town and find a job
Oh and you try to keep your hands warm
The hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And it chills you to the bone
Youd better go home where its warm
You can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddys gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamas gonna love you just as much as she can
As she can
Oh yeah
Living on a dream aint easy no
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
We like to keep them in stride for family pride
Faith is your foundation
Got a whole lot of love and a long conversation
But dont forget to pray oh no
Its keeping us strong where we belong
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddys gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamas gonna love you just as much as she can
Living in the love of the common people
(you know that faith is your foundation)
Smiles from the heart of the family man
(whole lot of love and a long conversation)
Daddys gonna buy you a dream to cling to
(dont forget to pray its keeping us strong)
Mamas gonna love you just as much as she can
(where we belong)
Living in the love of the common people
(oh living on a dream aint easy)
Smiles from the heart of the family man
(but the closer the knit the tighter the fit)
Daddys gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Never can tell what the brew will do
But theres times youll wind up feelin so fine
Some women seem to have a knack
Theyll turn you on and leave you flat
Never can tell whos playin for keeps
So tell me now whats holding you back

You can run but love will find you
Ready or not here it comes
Some people when they hear a groove
Shake their heads cause they just cant approve
Well I turn up the music till its shakin the sky
Is everybody ready to move
Theres times you wanna shake yourself
Theres nights you wanna yell for help
You can fly when youre standing still
N theres nothing wrong with raising some hell
Tonight were gonna raise it

Invoking God’s Help
God, break the bonds of evil men;
Annul their corrupt ties;
How long can common man suffer?
Should he, until he dies?
God, punish men who harm others
And steal and cheat the poor;
The beggars sleeping by road-side
Get killed and maimed each hour!
God, protect those who work for peace
And bring to end the wars;
The leaders who make blunders must
Be put behind the bars!
God, make the earth a better place
For men to live with joy;
No nation must threaten the next
Or subjugate by ploy!
God, reward men who labor hard
For righteousness in life;
Their honesty must give success
Despite their growing strife!
