Doesnt Smell Like

blasphemy!
equality, not equal.
dignity, dont qualify!
bill of rights, big brother....
one vote, doesnt count...

spirituality, apathy.
patriots, body count.
liberate, invade!
speak out, shot down.....
educate, imprison.

working pride, beg for food...
land of plenty, homeless.
elite few, faceless numbers.
society, depravity...
humanity, self-indulged....

doesnt smell like,
...doesnt even smell like...

Freedom Doesnt

freedom doesnt starve it's children,
freedom doesnt sell it's people into slavery.
freedom doesnt see skin color,
doesnt always speak english.
freedom doesnt have one religion.
freedom doesnt choose sexual preference.
freedom doesnt regulate love.
freedom doesnt trade joblessness for profit.
freedom doesnt take your home.
freedom doesnt create reservations, slums,
and low rent trailer parks.
freedom doesnt ban books.
freedom doesnt invade and conquer.
freedom doesnt trade blood for oil.
freedom doesnt imprison those it cannot use.
freedom doesnt live by the lie.
freedom doesnt have different levels of justice,
depending on how much money you have.
freedom doesnt abandon it's elderly.
freedom doesnt turn away the sick.
freedom doesnt kill in the name of god.
freedom doesnt lie about the past.
damn it to hell!
this doesnt smell like freedom!

Corporations, Not People!

corporations,
are not people.
democracy and plutocracy

are not the same thing.
equality doesnt come
with class structure....

and you cannot brutalize
citizens peacefully protesting
in a land that's really free!

promises dont feed hunger,
homeless doesnt mean worthless.
freedom doesnt invade other countries

for barrels of oil and back room deals.
poverty doesnt denote ignorance,
and lies never make the truth!

corporations are not people...
and the people have had enough!

Why Is It?

why is it...
patriots dont smell like freedom?
Christians dont act like Christ?
lovers dont give like love?
and dead people need you to weep?

a free country doesnt allow freedom?
poverty doesnt justify?
great men forget about small men?
and you've forgotten my name?

why is it?
and why do i care?

It Doesnt Have To Be

You are on one side
And I am on the other
Are we divided?
You are on one side
I am on the other
Are we divided?
Why cant we live together
There are no rights
This isnt your decision
We need to talk of changing things
But no one wants to listen
It doesnt have to be like that
It doesnt have to be like that
It doesnt have to be like that
A heart on the inside
The same as any other
Are we divided?
Someone always has to suffer
We are broken
Theres no one left to change it
Is that the way it has to be?
Why cant we rearrange it?
It doesnt have to be like that
(one against one)
It doesnt have to be like that
(one against one)
It doesnt have to be like that
What is the secret
In calling me a brother?
Are we divided?
Always one against the other
We are strong now
Put down the ammunition
For what we know is right
Is gonna breakdown this division
It doesnt have to be like that
(one against one)
It doesnt have to be like that
(one against one)
It doesnt have to be like that
(one against one)
(one against one)
It doesnt have to be like that
You are one side
And I am on the other
Are we divided?

Almost

Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesnt count
And never does
Never does
One green light
One more ring of the telephone
One more step
One more second
And I almost
Almost
Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesnt count
And never does
Never does
One hello
Just one kiss before the tears come
One yes
One chance
And I almost
Almost almost almost
Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesnt count
And never does
Never does
One day one year
5,000 weeks
A life of good works and good deeds
Let me be let me be closer
Or let me be
Let me be
Let me be
When Ive almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesnt count
And never does
Never does
One good guess
A question with an answer that I know
One idea
One grand notion
And I almost
Almost almost almost
Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesnt count
And never does
Never does
Never does
Never does

Freedom (When It Speaks!)

freedom doesnt come in black or white,
doesnt always speak English,
doesnt like being lied to,
used, or bartered with....

is not a commodity on the highest shelf,
out of the reach of most....
is not concerned with owning,
and will not be owned....

freedom doesnt have any one religion,
is not capitalist, or communist!
freedom is often quiet, but when it speaks,
the whole world has to listen!

Zeroes

Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Youve arrived in the land of a thousand different names
And the fabulous sons have crashed their planes in flames
Now tomorrow is back claiming redemption is on your heels
And a toothless past is asking you how it feels
And me my little red corvette has driven by
Fair weather heart has fallen in
My rainy day girl is feeling down
And she tells me that the world is spinning round
I say the dream was all for you
Youre nobody else
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you
Yeah
Hi, can I walk you home again today
Gotta get forgive and forget hey-hey
Something good is happening and I dont know what it is
Dont you know were back on trial again today
And its breaking wine for you
Hell its only cause youre true
Someone outtimed my heart
Stopping and preaching and letting love in
You are my moon, you are my sun
Heaven knows what you are
Tonight the zeroes are singing for you
Yes they were
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you
You
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you
You
Doesnt matter what you try to do
Doesnt matter what you try to do
Doesnt matter where you try to go
Doesnt matter who we really are
Doesnt matter
Doesnt matter
Doesnt matter
Doesnt matter
Doesnt matter
Doesnt matter
Doesnt matter
Ohh
It doesnt matter
Ohh
Oh it doesnt matter
Oh

Serious

Oh, woman you make me feel, like Im on fire
Oh, woman you make it real, its the only way for me
So, if we sometimes fight, doesnt mean we got problems
Aint always black and white, who cares anyway?
Ooh - doesnt have to be serious
Ooh - doesnt have to be serious
(serious)
Doesnt have to be serious
Doesnt have to be serious
Oh baby you get so wild, mmm too much understanding
Oh baby youre such a child, put up with all the tears and cryin
Dont worry if youre confused, we all tend to be sometimes
The whole world is getting used, its just the way it is...
Maybe right, oh, but maybe wrong
Doesnt have to be serious, being hard isnt being strong
Doesnt have to be serious, fighting for love, fighting for pain
Ooh doesnt have to be serious, and if you win, oh what do you gain?
Doesnt have to be serious..
-
Ooh, doesnt have to be serious maybe right, ooh, but maybe wrong
Ohh doesnt have to be serious, fighting for love, fighting for pain
Ooh doesnt have to be serious, and if you win, oh what do you gain?
Ooh doesnt have to be serious, maybe right, oh but maybe wrong
Doesnt have to be serious, being hard, isnt being strong
Doesnt have to be serious, fighting for love, fighting for pain
Ohh doesnt have to be serious and if you win...

It Doesnt Really Matter

It doesnt really matter that I loved you
How many reasons call
It doesnt really matter at all
It doesnt matter that I failed to
Break down your fathers wall
It doesnt matter at all
Why tell me you dont understand when you do
I thought I had something to say
But it really doesnt matter at all...
I changed my name
To be rid of the things that I want from you
Its strange
But a name is a name and the truth is the truth
Oh, there is always
Always someone to remind me
So I learn to live with shame
Tell myself I feel no pain
But I do
And if I have to tell you
Then it really doesnt matter at all...
And its no good looking back
Because times a thief and I believe that
Im too old for that
Were just saying the things that weve said
Forever
It doesnt really matter that I loved you
How many seasons fall
Its too bad
It really doesnt matter at all

It Really Doesnt Matter

I spent some time across the waves
I learned a lot of things I never could
I waved my magic wand over the past
I never understood
It really doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all
If you found what youre lookin for
It really doesnt matter at all
We strolled around on different ground
There must have been some kind of reason
Nothing ventured, nothing found
Must have been the wrong season
It really doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all
If you found what youre lookin for
It really doesnt matter at all
I flew you high, I flew you low
I flew you all the way around
You played for me your pretty tune
Now look what I have found
It really doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all
If you found what youre lookin for
It really doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all, doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all, doesnt matter at all
If you found what youre lookin for, doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all

He Doesnt Know Im Alive

Cha
No no
No no no no no
Ooh baby
Ive got his picture
Its on my dresser
Right next to my bed
He doesnt know me
But I sure know him
I cant get him out of my head, no
(talk to him)
No no
I havent even tried
He doesnt even know that Im alive, no
He doesnt even know that Im alive
I got his number
I call him up, hehe
Just to hear him say hello
And when he answers
I always hang up
Ooh, that boy scares me so, woah
(talk to him)
No no I havent even tried
He doesnt even know that Im alive
(he doesnt know that Im alive)
He doesnt even know that Im alive
No-oh
No no no no
Oohhh yeah
No no yeah
Someday Ill find the nerve
To talk to him and stop acting so preserved
I told myself girl you gotta change
cause nothing ventured is nothing gained
No-oh woah
Late last evening
I dropped on by
Just to see if he was home
And when he opened the door
I could have died
There we were all alone
(talk to him)
I said excuse me I thought my friend lived here
Well he doesnt even know that Im alive
(he doesnt know that Im alive)
He doesnt even know that Im alive
He doesnt even know that Im alive
(he doesnt know that Im alive)
He doesnt even know
(he doesnt know)
Ooh
Im alive
No no, no no
No
No no, no no
Ah!
No no, no no
Ooh ooh yeah, no woah

It Doesnt Matter To Me

Listen comrade I dont care
How long you want to grow your hair
It doesnt matter to me
Hey lady have you heard the news?
You can burn your wig and burn your shoes
It doesnt matter to me
But theres something bigger than my vcr
Something important and its waiting for you
Oh yeah
Knock it off pal I heard your story before
Tell me something new thats what Im waiting for
It doesnt matter to me
cause theres a train comin into the station
But its headin for a new destination
And I tell you my friend you better count me in
Listen comrade I dont care
If you ever change your underwear
It doesnt matter to me

No Way Out

No intentions
Whatsoever
I was gone for a night
Nothings forever
The cruel daylight
Brought me back to my senses (back to my senses)
Got caught in here
Under false pretenses
No way out
None whatever
I made up the story
Thought it was clever
She didnt ask
And I got no reply (got no reply)
But later that night
I heard her cry
Chorus:
No way out she doesnt buy my story
No way out she doesnt buy my story
No way out she doesnt buy my story
No way out she doesnt buy my story
No accusations
Whatsoever
But can she forget
Nothings forever
Since yesterday
Shes a little bit colder (little bit colder)
Wont happen again
What could Ive told her
No way out she doesnt buy my story
No way out she doesnt buy my story
No way out she doesnt buy my story
No way out she doesnt buy my story
Doesnt buy my story
How can she tell the truth from the lies
When does she know when to close her eyes
She doesnt want to lose me
So she only sees what she wants to see
No way out she doesnt buy my story
No way out she doesnt buy my story
No way out she doesnt buy my story
No way out, no way
No way out...

It Doesnt Matter Anymore

(daryl hall/sandy allen)
Ive been used to seeing the world with the eyes of two
Now youre gone, no more window shopping with you
Guess Ill spend another day walking around
But dont think that Im sorry babe, dont you think that Im down
cause you know it doesnt matter, you know it doesnt matter anymore
And thats what Im here to tell you
You know it doesnt matter, yes it doesnt matter anymore
Ive been used, you might say that Ive been misused
But Im not gonna feel bad for myself even though Ive been bruised, so bruised
Guess Ill spend another day walking around
But dont think that Im sorry babe, dont you think that Im down
cause you know it doesnt matter, you know it doesnt matter anymore
And thats what Im here to tell you
You know it doesnt matter, yes it doesnt matter anymore

Love Doesnt Ask Why

Love doesnt ask why
It speaks from the heart
And never explains
Dont you know that
Love doesnt think twice
It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance
Dont ask me if this feelings right or wrong
It doesnt have to make much sense
It just has to be this strong
cause when youre in my arms I understand
We dont try to have a voice
When our hearts make the choices
Theres no plan
Its in our hands
Love doesnt ask why
It speaks from the heart
And never explains
Dont you know that
Love doesnt think twice
It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance
Now I can feel what youre afraid to say
If you give your soul to me
Will you give too much away
We cant let this moment pass us by
Cant question this chance
Or expect any answers
We can try
But love doesnt ask you why
(instrumental)
So lets take what we found
And wrap it around us
Love doesnt ask why
It speaks from the heart
And never explains
Dont you know that
Love doesnt think twice
It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance
Love doesnt ask why

Doesnt Anybody Stay Together Anymore

You keep on walking so you dont fall down
Its the same old story
You keep on hiding so you cant be found
Its the same old story
Oh but I know you, youre the one who ran
You know why, its because you can, oh
Its alright, cos I dont mind
Im just trying to help, but I wonder why
Doesnt anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesnt anybody stay together anymore
My friends keep falling and they cant get up
Its the same old story
Well one says white and the other one black
Its the same old story
And I dont know why you keep emotions walled up
Your hearts on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
But its alright, cos I dont mind
Im just trying to help, but I wonder why
Doesnt anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesnt anybody stay together anymore
Things can change, from a misunderstanding
Nobody talks, nobody hears, oh oh oh
Makes me wonder why, doesnt anybody stay together anymore
Oh I wonder why, doesnt anybody stay together anymore
You keep on looking for that higher ground
Its the same old story
Your glass is empty and the chips are down
Its the same old story
But I dont know why, your emotions walled up
Your hearts on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
But its alright, cos I dont mind
Im just trying to help, but I wonder why
Doesnt anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesnt anybody stay together anymore
Oh I wonder why, doesnt anybody stay together anymore

I Dont Get It

I dont get why you can take
Such a big amount of what we work so hard to f*cking make
I dont get it
I dont get why we cant do
What we want to when it doesnt hurt you, man I dont get it
I dont get it I dont get why we cant smoke
Just because you say its bad what mother nature chose to grow
I dont get it I dont get why we should change
What we said here so we dont have to explain I dont get it
I cant make sense of anything
I cant make friends with anyone
I dont get anything at all
It doesnt matter anymore
I cant make sense of anything
I cant make friends with anyone
I hope someday I figure out
Where the f*ck youre talking from
I dont get anything at all
It doesnt matter anymore
I dont get anything at all
It doesnt matter anymore

Wouldnt Fill A Thimble!

Jesus was not a capitalist,
Buddha owned no stocks or bonds...
democracy has nothing to do with invasion.
freedom cant be bought and sold!

the earth is not 'property'...
salvation doesnt imply donation.
equality doesnt have limitations,
respect is a two way street!

much judgement, few qualified judges!
forgiveness has to be given to receive.
wisdom not bound by degrees...
no tomorrow unless we validate today!

love doesnt imply ownership.
and death is not the end!
what we know wouldnt fill a thimble,
what we seek to know already seeks us!

Birds Of Prey...

we keep ending up
back at the Little Big Horn...
victims of our own aggressive greed.
Crazy Horse wept
with the tears of God,
while the birds of prey
picked the flesh from the bones.

you cannot ease your own suffering
by causing suffering to others.
what we do to feed our insatiable mouths
leaves scars on the bottoms of our feet!

freedom doesnt conquer,
righteousness doesnt judge!
equality means everybody,
and i mean everybody!

Dylan said: 'money doesnt talk,
it swears! '... i say money is the disease,
and almost never the cure!
