Hey Citizen
Here they come,
Slumming their way outta the jacuzzi,
Well, Ive lived in a slum, sugar plum,
Hit and run
And it did not amuse me
There they go,
Moving around on the radio,
Well Ive been on that show,
Reap and sow, feed and grow
And it did not amuse me
Hey citizen! hey american!
Hey russian! hey citizen!
Beauty stab,
When the good things in life
Have all grown bad,
The cats out the bag
Smash and grab, burn the flag
And didnt it fool me throw it out,
Its not worth the paper its written on
No ifs and buts,
Spending cuts, cheaper smut,
They say they could use me
All through summer,
Theres no glamour in the slammer,
No glamour in the slammer,
Until you make a run
All through summer, the splendours
Pretty slender
The splendours pretty slender
Until you make a run
Here they come,
Slumming their way out of the jacuzzi,
Well Ive lived in a slum, sugar plum,
Hit and run and it did not amuse me
There they go,
Grooving around on the radio
Well Ive been on that show, reap and sow
Feed and grow, and it didnt amuse me
Hey villager! hey citizen!
Hey countryman! hey, now listen!
Hey chinaman! hey european!
Hey russian! hey american!
Hey cowboy! hey indian!
Hey anyway! hey, hey, hey citizen!

And a master of disguise
He's a model citizen
Just keep believing that my friends

I'm an all American!!!
I'm a hostage
In a city of creeps
They've got mercenary guards
That watch me sleep
They'd like to kill me slow
Bury me deep
In the heart of Texas
I'm a martyr
I'm a sadist
I might be the Saviour here to save us
I'm a friend of Sammy Davis, casually
He's a model citizen
I think I've got them fooled again
He's an ultra-sweety guy
I won't let down my disguise
He's a model citizen
Just keep believing that my friends

The Plain Citizen Of The Republic
the government for sure
cannot survive without you plain citizen
you are taxed
that is the most certain thing that happens in your life
as plain citizen
of this republic
the property that you own
is subject to confiscation
from womb to tomb
you, plain citizen is bound with a lot of other
responsibilities
you make them rich
and give them power
you let them stay for more
than expected and they all laugh
like mad men
you do not make a stir
on the fold
the law chases you just in case
and the prison cell is crowded
so plain citizen of the republic
be good
lick them
as they suck you
pamper them
as they spare you
plain citizen you sell your right to be king
in this republic
now you sit there
and you will be next!

An American Citizen
I did the writing for her and today,
She is an American citizen;
I did the writing for her because,
She was once my lover;
And now, she is an American citizen.
I did the writing for her because,
That was her only opportunity at hand by then! !
And today, she is an American citizen.

All American Girl
To be that good, it must be taxin'
No such thing as satisfaction
You're makin' things happen while I'm relaxin'
Like a Sunday afternoon
My dad used to tell me I was lazy
I got dance moves like Patrick Swayze
I'm the left over turkey for the world's mayonnaisey
The star next to the moon
Now I know I'm just here to amuse you
And I don't mean to abuse you
But if I could just use you one time
Tell me what it's like
To be the queen of it all
The Neiman Marcus of the Mall
And tell me what it's like to be the one and only
All American Girl
Now I never had a supernatural feelin'
Not to mention a sexual healin'
But every now and then I get to the kneelin'
To thank him for it all
But you probably got some inside connection
So many numbers that you gotta rolodex them
So much muscle that you never gotta flex them
To catch you when you fall
And I know I'm just here to amuse you
And I don't mean to confuse you
But if I could just use you one more time
Tell me what it's like to be the house on the hill
The number one diet pill
And tell me what it's like to be the one and only
All American Girl
Now I bet you won't say you get crazy
Or that you don't shave your legs
When you're lazy
Or that you're just like everybody else in the world
You just got lucky, that's all
And I know you're not here to amuse me
But you sure know how to confuse me
So if I could just ask you once again
To tell me what it's like to be a star on the rise
A breakfast cereal prize
And tell me what it's like to be the one and only
All American Girl
The All American Girl
The all amazing crazy girl

A cure to kill the east
A disease of the west
Romance is no escape
But Ill escape you
The manufacturing sound
Complaining to ourselves
Youre cutting up our friends
Making love to our sisters
Another endless day
Another daze
But Im losing track
The train goes off the rails
Dance of the youth
Youth want to dance
Citizen
The tribal war begins
But radios a god
Industrial money
God is industry
Dance of youth
Citizen you know what were after
Know what were after
Know what were after
Citizen
The state that weve come to love
Loves a crime against the state
I hate the sound of bells
Communications lost
Something were after
I hate democracy
One more contact lost
Love
A crime against the state
The state weve come to love
Oh electric candle light
What time is it over there
We got to wear a badge
Were losing track of days
Dance of the youth
Youth want to dance
Citizen
Ill share a room with you
Youre getting so very thin
Did we ask for this
Are you rationing our water
Dance of the youth
Our food is getting cold
And youre getting colder
I see you
Im not so unaware

You Better Know It
(1956) duke ellington, straylor
I belong to you and I know I show it
You belong to me baby youd better know it
Give me all your love sugar spice and sweet honey
Dont you ever quit
Not for love or money Id do most anything
Just to amuse you
But thers nothing that I woulnt do
Thought that I would ever lose you
When I play the game I cant afford to blow it
Cos I play for keeps youd better know it
Yes Id do most anything just to amuse you
But theres nothing that I wouldnt do
If I ever thought Id lose you
When I play the game I cant afford to blow it
Cos I play for keeps you better know it

Slumming On Park Avenue
Put on your slumming clothes and get your car
Lets go sightseeing where the high-toned people are
Come on, theres lots of fun in store for you
See how the other half lives on park avenue
Lets go slumming, take me slumming
Lets go slumming on park avenue
Let us hide behind a pair of fancy glasses
And make faces when a member of the classes passes
Lets go smelling where theyre dwelling
Sniffing evrything the way they do
Let us go to it, they do it
Why cant we do it too?
Lets go slumming, nose thumbing, on park avenue
[2nd chorus:]
Lets go slumming, take me slumming
Lets go slumming on park avenue
Where the social hearts for broadway lights are throbbing
And they spend their nights in smart cafes hobknobbing, snobbing
Come lets eye them, pass right by them
Looking down our noses as they do
Let us go to it, they do it
Why cant we do it too?
Lets go slumming, crumb bumming, on park avenue

What Else Can Be Done
dont make poverty an excuse
god gave you mind you better make its use
no matter if you are born in the poverty's slum
while some are handicap, blind and dumb
its better to work hard and strive
and make education bone of your life
for studying makes you dignified
and helps your nation feel pride worldwide
as a good citizen select a right politician
who have perfection to lead your nation
let's remove poverty from our country
which compells a mother to sell her baby
prove yourself and show the world what you can be
inspite of being idle and blindly following your destiny
when there is a will there is a way
after every dark night there is bright sunny day

Promises in high standard!
My Motto is your Goodwill!
I would like to see each citizen
with good health, wealth and prosperity.
If I come to the power by chance
At least I give a small jet to each & every citizen
who could see Mars and If you like to work there you could bring foreign currency to our land?
Those who have not seen the stars in day light
This may be a Golden opportunity for them
And please make a cross in front of my precious photograph
on your ballot paper chum!

Sugar
Come on baby get your shoes on
You're looking like you need a rescue
Underneath the southern moonlight
Where only I can find you
We can do it with our eyes closed
We can sit and talk for hours
Underneath the golden flowers
Where my sunshine grows
Sugar my love
Sugar my burn
Sugar may hide
Sugar may learn
I could give a thousand reasons
I could live a thousand lives
I know I would always meet you
Underneath a summer sky
So come on tell me love is glory
Come on tell me love is real
Show me what your heart is made of
Show me what I need to feel
(Chorus)
Show me that love is worth the wait
Tell me I'm right
Give me your love don't hesitate
Show me tonight
I waited so long for a love so true
So I'm giving it all right back to you
I'm giving you my best of silver
I'm giving you my best of gold
Sugar may hide
Sugar may burn
So come on baby get those shoes on
And we can run away from here
Talk about a life we're starting
We can start it all right here
Show me that love is worth the wait
Tell me I'm right
Give me your love don't hesitate
Show me tonight

For Government To Be Fair!
for any government to be fair,
every citizen has to be
just as important as every other.
every citizen has to have equal rights,
whether black or white,
rich or poor, gay or straight.
whether they believe in the same god,
in another, or in none.
whether they speak english,
or another language.
whether they are educated,
or not!
every citizen has to have an equal chance,
for employment, for education,
for housing, for love and happiness.
and every citizen has to respect,
both himself, and others...
this government should be
a government by the people...
any leader should be from among the people.
government, small in tether,
large in affirmation!
we're not anywhere close to this in America!
we have been sold out by our own greed,
and have chosen in our apathy to follow the lie.
now it's come to a head!
what we do next determines if democracy works.
what we do next defines our level of humanity.
call it democracy, call it socialism,
it doesnt matter what you call it.
what it has to be is redemption...
what it has to bring, is freedom!
finally!

From A Water Bubble
you hold me
in a water bubble
precariously on the
edge of your fingers
frail are my limbs
frailer are my wings
multicolored rays
focused on me on
this unique stage
i whirled and whirled
to amuse you, my creator
at the end of a performance
the bubble closed me in
don't bring me back to life
is my earnest request to you
for i no longer can renew my
spirit to amuse you again!
