Hell Is Other People
what is hell?
Sartre says, hell is other people.
I think, i agree.
Some people simply make our lives
Live in hell,
If you feel this hell
the rumors, and betrayal,
the stabbing at the back,
the unpaid debts,
ingratitude, the prison of
dictatorships,
the irreconcilable differences,
hate and indifference,
on the other hand, there is also
the mutuality of affections,
love meeting love,
ecstasy moaning with ecstasy
pure love, agape, empathy,
faith, trust, symbiosis,
dependence and interdependence,
there is also sympathy
and unconditional love
of parents, and care of
siblings, the humanity of concerns,
and compassion, feeding the poor
and the hungry, satisfying the thirsts
of those who still desire
to live,
on the other hand, depending
on how you look at it,
on this same place
either you look at the stars above
or the mud below,
heaven could also be
other people.

Love Is Hell
There's strange weather in the back of the room
And she's pretty, Jesse's spinning the tunes
Eyelashes, and some white leather boots
God, what have I been drinking?
I could be serious but I'm just kiddin' around
I could be anything, anything but sticking around
Love is hell
Love is hell
Love is . . . hell
Is . . .hell
It's raining, I can see it outside
Funny I'm still in it
Just sitting here with Johnny and Raph'
Untll the room starts spinning
I could be serious but I'm just kiddin' around
I could be anything, nothing, whatever, oh well
Love is hell

Burning Hell
Women got legs, men got pants
I got the picnic, you got the ants,
Put it in the fire heaven knows
Take my torch and touch your toes in hell
Its a burning hell
You can burn in hell
Its a burning hell
You can burn in hell
Its a burning hell
Women dont fret, boys dont bet
Let me see your silhouette in hell
Women above me take my love
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love
Its a burning hell
Its a burning hell
Baby, baby, baby, Im hell
Its a burning hell
Girl stop moving, boy behave
Baby, Ill put you in an early grave in hell
Love on the ceiling, love on the floor
Im gonna leave you burning for more
Burn in the country, burn downtown
All the best people are burning down in hell, hell, ah hell
Its a burning hell
Youll burn in hell
Its a big, burning, giant, colossal matter
Hell
Oh baby, Im hell
Burn, burn, burn!

People Need Love
People need hope, people need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand
Man has always wanted a woman by his side to keep him company
Women always knew that it takes a man to get matrimonial harmony
Everybody knows that a man whos feeling down wants some female sympathy
Gotta have love to carry on living
Gotta have love till eternity
People need hope, people need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la la
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laa...
Flowers in the desert need a drop of rain like a woman needs her man
If a mans in love and his woman wants the moon
Then hell it down if he can
Somebody who loves you and somebody who cares
Isnt that what youd call a friend?
Gotta have love to carry on living
You can have peace if you understand
People need hope, people need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la la
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laa...
People need hope, people need loving
People need trust from a fellow man
People need love to make a good living
People need faith in a helping hand
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la la
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la laa...
La la la la, la la la la-la, la la la la la la la-la la la

Love To Hate
Love is a positive vibration
With love you find the good in a bad situation
Everybodys gonna need a helping hand
It dont really matter where you stand
Youre gonna need someone to lean on
Hate is a constant inflammation
A fire thats built on fear and frustration
One mans heaven is another mans hell
Every story has got two sides to tell
Dont let anybody pull you under
Some people just love to hate
They criticize when they cant relate
Some people dont love, they just love to hate
Some people can hardly wait
To tear down what you create
Cause some people dont love, they just love to hate
Somebody attacks without a reason
Hes just trying to drag you down in the hole that hes in
Why are people so negative
I think that everybody ought to just live and let live
We could use a little understanding
Chorus
I guess some people been pushed around
Now theyre trying to even it up by putting somebody else down
I believe that things can only get better
When everybody learns to live together

People Don't Care
everyone dies..........eventually.
some people care,
heaven or hell?
most people dont.
some people love there life
but most people don't
most poeple live there boring lives.
then they just...........die.
most people do nothing exciting,
in the pathetic world we live in,
with cubiculs and safe neighborhoods.
most people don't care.
optimistic, aren't we?

The Man I Love
(g. gershwin/i. gershwin)
Someday hell come along
The man I love
And hell be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
Ill do my best to make him stay
Hell look at me and smile
Ill understand
Then in a little while
Hell take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both wont say a word
Maybe hell come sunday
Maybe monday, maybe not
Still Im sure hell come one day
Maybe tuesday will be
My good news day
Well built a little home
Just meant for two
From which Ill never roam
Oh, what would you
And so all else above
Im dreaming of the man I love

Go To Hell
Now if your mind lies in the Devil's workshop
And evil duens your thrill
And trouble and mischief is all you live for
You know darn well
That you'll go to hell
So you're living high and mighty
Rich off the fat of the land
Just don't dispose of your natural soul
'cos you know darn well
That you'll go to hell
I say hell
Where your natural soul burns
Hell
Where you pay for your sins
Hell
Keep your children from wrongdoing
'cos you know darn well
That they'll go to hell.
I say hell
Man, woman were created
Hell
To live for eternity
Hell
With an apple they ate from the tree of hate
So you know darn well
That they went to hell
Now Satan was an angel in heaven
But he stirred up trouble and woe
So the LORD commanded that the Devil be branded
So you know darn well
He went to hell
Yeah, he went to hell
Yeah, he went to hell
He went to hell.

Some People
Some people seem to have it all
Some people always have to crawl
Some people pay to be abused
Some people end up destitute
Some people search their souls for truth
Some people try to be of use
Some people pray before they kill
Some people kill just for the thrill
Some people follow one mans vision, some others die on television
Some people build their homes on sand, some people live in garbage cans
Some people think that live is dear, some people hope the end is near
Some people fight for right to life, some people hate to stay alive
Some people dream of life on mars, some people end their life in cars
Some people throw their lives away, some others go on holidays
Some people live and love in vain, some people dont and go insane
Some people always need to win, some other people love to sin
Some people breaking all their vows, some people slashing sacred cows
Some people like to worship stars, some people think the worlds a farce
Some people try to make ends meet, some others end up kissing feet
Some people find their holy grail, some other people go to hell
Some people never catch their breath, some people drink themselves to death
Some people seem to have it all, some people always have to crawl
Some people pay to be abused, some people end up destitute
Some people search their souls for truth
Some people try to be of use
Some people

Where Is The Heaven
Vandals in ermine
Rip city skylines
Dodge truth and virtue
With slick city bylines
A paragon of virtue
Until they hurt you
In power and in status
We know they hate us
So where is the heaven
And where is there love?
Where the hell is the heaven?
That youre so proud of
Power is preaching
The virtues of poverty
Poor are left feeding
On cruel comedy...sad laughter
Rescue us all now
From fumes that choke us
Shift then these sad lives
Into sweet focus
So where is the heaven
And where is there love?
Where the hell is the heaven?
That youre so proud of
Prestige it sits high
On mammons alter
Porsche hungry pinheads
On champagne and oysters
Head full of hollow thoughts
Handful of sushi
Plug into dallas babe
Plug into dynasty
So where is the heaven
And where is there love?
Where the hell is the heaven?
That youre so proud of
Now I am loving
Where once I was hating
Leading a good life
Stopped paging satan
Played devils advocate
So many times
Lived in the shadows
But the sun will shine. shine. shine
So where is the heaven
And where is there love?
Where the hell is the heaven?
That youre so proud of
Where is the kingdom?
You say we squander?
Where the hell is the heaven?
Must we wait much longer?

I Don't Care Anymore
Well you can tell ev'ryone I'm a down disgrace
So drag my name all over the place.
I don't care anymore. (I don't care)
You can tell ev'rybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying 'cos I just can't win.
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care what you say
I don't play the same games you play.
'Cos I've been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me there's a means to and end.
They don't care anymore. (they don't care)
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind.
I don't care anymore I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway.
I won't be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
Well, I don't care now what you say (I don't care what you say)
'Cos ev'ry day (everyday)
I'm feeling fine with myself (I'm feeling fine with myself)
And I don't care now what you say (I don't care what you say)
Hey I'll do alright by myself (I'll be alright by myself)
I don't care (I don't care) anymore (anymore)
I don't care (I don't care) anymore (anymore)
I don't care (I don't care) anymore (anymore)

And you laughed in my face 'cos ya held all the cards.
I don't care anymore.
And I really ain't bothered what you think of me
'Cos all I want of you is just a let me be.
I don't care anymore
Did you hear? I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway.
We won't be there any more
So get out of our way.
Let us by
We got better things to do with our time
We don't care anymore

What We Believe
Faith is what we believe
Death is constant fear we live
Water is deep still we dive
Reluctance still we give
Why faith is to make hope
When we are not willing to walk on rope?
Why we leave everything to faith and become illogical?
Not admit the fault and try to be honest and vocal
If I have to live by faith
I shall surrender to reality of death
Know it for certain what I am today
And what will be tomorrow on the way
I love to live among nice and kind hearted
I want to pick from where I had started
Lost in between and got derailed
Now I want to reaffirm and get it availed
I know many hurdles on the way
Yet I must say and firmly stay
That I love my fellow brethren
I promise to live with no concerns
I may not find heaven
I should remain unconcerned even
Let my present not turn into hell
I wish it to speak well
I know what the love can make it to be
Let all people sense within and feel free
The total universality of belonging and oneness
See then the power and impact of happiness on face

A Hell In A Concrete Jungle
A hell in a concrete jungle
A hell in a concrete jungle
We have already turned animals
and lost our sixth sense,
merely to fill the stomachs
we run days, months and years
after unreal wealth.
Love has turned into lust
Romance is no more pure
Violence encroaches
every inch of our being
Peace is long perished
and is burried in the land of demons
God is helpless. Yes god is helpless
to help humanity in this concrete jungle
Heaven has vanished and
this planet is now a hell
and the people live in sorrow and grief

Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell
I'd have to be a mindreader, baby, just to know what's goin' on
You don't need no crystal ball, sugar, can't you see my love is strong
Don't you know my temperature is startin' to rise up
And it's draggin' me under your spell
Somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell
Somewhere between pleasure and pain
I'm about to go insane, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry
You don't have to see no furtune teller, to see I just can't take no more
You been such a heartbreaker, baby, you keep a lock on heaven's door
Ain't you tired of goin' through the motions
And standin' in the shadow of love
Somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want to, but I can never tell
Somewhere between the truth and a lie
Sometimes I wonder why, I can't hurt you, I can't hurt you
Don't need your lovin', don't want nothin'
Don't need your sympathy, don't need a friend
I just need somethin' I can believe in, I can believe in
Ain't you tired of goin' through the motions
And hidin' in the shadow of love
I'm somewhere between heaven and hell
Sometimes I think you want me, but I can never tell
Somewhere between pleasure and pain
I'm about to go insane, I'm so hungry
Somewhere between love and hate
Don't know just what I'm feelin', babe I think it's gettin' late
Somewhere between the truth and a lie
Sometimes I wonder why, I can't hurt you

Hell Or Heaven
Mama used to say to me
You can make your destiny
Keep your feet planted on the ground
You can always get it back
Make a castle from a one room shack
It's what you make of what you've found
Son you're gonna find out when you're older
There's always been the hand of God
Resting right there on your shoulder
Will it be hell or heaven on Earth
The choice is up to you
Look to the sky, the answer is clear
Are you gonna live life for all it's worth
Choose hell or heaven on Earth
If you live it right
There's nothing to fear
'Cause you'll find heaven right here
Saw a man the other day
Had it made in every way
Till his greed brought him down
He was blinded by the city lights
Now he shivers in the cold at night
Who will save the lifeguard
When he's about to drown
Will it be hell or heaven on Earth
The choice is up to you
Look to the sky, the answer is clear
Are you gonna live life for all it's worth
Choose hell or heaven on Earth
If you live it right
There's nothing to fear
'Cause you'll find heaven right here
You know you're gonna walk on through the fire
You know you're gonna feel the pain
You know you're gonna lose if you wanna win the game
And every time your heart is breakin'
And every time your faith is shaken
Just remember what mama said
Oh yeah
Hope when my time has come
I'm left enough to build upon
Ain't no one gonna say I didn't try
And here's why
Hell or heaven on Earth
The choice is up to you
Look to the sky, the answer is clear
Are you gonna live life for all it's worth
Choose hell or heaven on Earth
If you live it right
There's nothing to fear
'Cause you'll find heaven right here
You'll find heaven right here (x3)

What More? Not Money!
What more can I ask for
What do I need?
What do I want?
All I need is love to live on
All I need is trust to live on
All I need is sense to live on
All I need is someone else's love to live on
Money isn't just everything
It can buy things
But there are some things money can't buy
Money can't buy my parents
No matter how much people offer me billions of dollars for my parents
I will never hand my parents to them
My parents are worth every single thing to me
I need love to go on
The loneliness is something that has a grudge on me
But with love
The grudge is gone
All I need to live on is God
When nobody listens to me
God does
He's always ready to listen
He's always ready to repsond
God is like my father
Who I love and care
Because he cares for my parents
I don't care if he doesn't care for me
Cuz' my parents are my top priority
I'll do anything to not lose them
I don't care about money
Because money comes and go
But love, God, and my parents are with me
No matter where
They're inside me
My fuel energy to live on.

All I Ask For
i know you care,
and i take it out on you,
but, what can i do?
when i feel my world in two?
anger and frustration,
yeah they becoming my friends,
if you only knew what i been through,
yeah, maybe you can understand,
why i am the way i am,
nothing is making since,
people want to run my life,
i know i'm not doing the best job,
shouldn't i have a say?
yeah i don't want to live,
i get that part,
you putting up one hell of a fight,
what the hell do i do?
when i can't take the pain of getting better,
that will just open up a can of worms,
something i'm just not ready for,
i know you care,
we got that covered,
but, if all you going to do is control me,
or to try and keep me safe,
it not going to work,
i have a mind to think for myself,
right now it just out of order,
just let me be who i am,
don't get over protected,
even though i know you feel you have to,
keep me close with love,
let me go with trust,
i may be the little girl who needs saving,
just be there when my world falling apart,
let me know i can talk to you about anything,
i hate feeling alone,
it's a lonely place,
just be the person you once were,
before you knew my deep dark secerts.

The desire of coming over man who be doing everything no mean or kindly
One who be able to done determination for god thing for people every
The people respect to dangerous mans they would be respect to them equally
Knowing every hearts make love and faith they would be create world beautifully
Never rough sea or storm every where breeze with calm wind is blowing
Smile with pure heart for much better future for further together and hoping
Don't hurt with self love don't turn or escape from someone offering
They will be meet at hell or heaven judge is be over there and watching
The moon is will go far away and sun s helium atom rays beaming further for planet of earth
The widths of earth flare will more centuries we can't make obstacle for bid of god faith
Every night shivered with dreaming when will embrace truly of loving truth

The among more differences believe feel have close to you every along moment

Among environmental attraction where do come from cruel man with rough heart

Love 12
I enjoy the fire of hell
when she weeps
I live in heaven
when she smiles.
I do not longer for the
heaven or hell
created by my God.
I do not need the company
of angels
Whole creations are with me
when she is with me
I worship my love
not my creator
for heaven or hell.
