Politician
Chorus
Mr. politician please dont deceive us.
Mr. politician youre there to relieve us.
Just how can we tell, mister,
When to believe in you.
Oh wont you tell me oh who were lookin out for?
Mr. politician could be perfect but people its doubtful.
We want a leader wholl fight for the people.
We want somebody to take us to the steeple.
Wed like to point him out to you people,
But dont look now.
Chorus
We want a leader of the people,
We want him honest, not deceitful.
We want an angel in the public eye,
And we wont give it up lord until we die.

The War Song
Chorus 1:
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
Chorus 2:
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers
People fill the world
With narrow confidence
Like a child at birth
A man with no defense
Whats mine is my own
I wont give it to you
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
Now were fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Wont somebody help me?
(chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
Man is far behind
In the search for something new
Like a philistine
Were burning witches too
This world of fate
Must be designed for you
It matters what you say
It matters what you do
Now were fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Wont somebody help me?
(chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
After the bird has flown
He walked ten thousand
Miles back home
You cant do that to me, no
You cant do that to me
You cant do that to me, no
You cant do that to me
Now were fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Wont somebody help me?

Need Someone To Hold
The sun came up and pushed away the clouds.
Stumbled back to my room, really dont know how.
I wont wake up til this afternoon,
Been out walkin all night again.
Stranger here tryn to have fun.
Far from home; its just begun.
Chorus:
Give out the warm, it comes back cold.
Oh, god, I need someone to hold.
The coffees cold, its gonna have to do.
My feet are shot, feelin hungry too.
People dont have a thing to say.
Feel your dignity slip away.
Wont wake up til this afternoon.
Waste of time cause theres nothing new.
Chorus
Chorus
A city nice as this one should be kind.

Another day to make it through,
Might get lucky and find a dime,
Things dont change, gonna give up tryin.

Nothing To Fear (But Fear Itself)
Hey neighbor let me give you some advice
The russians are about to pulverize us
In our sleep tonight
That is if the crazy arabs
Or the riots dont get us first
And the fire will rain down from the sky
The fire will rain down from the sky
People will die--people will die
People will die--people will die
But go ahead sleep tight in your beds
Remember what the wise man said
Chorus
Theres nothing to fear nothing to fear
Theres nothing to fear nothing to fear
Theres nothing to fear (but fear itself)
Theres nothing to fear (but fear itself)
And the temperatures starting to drop now
The temperatures starting to drop now
The temperatures starting to drop now . . .
Hey little girl wont you come this way
Wont you let me buy you candy or perhaps a chocolate shake
Or perhaps some nice cocaine or perhaps a little kiss
Or perhaps a ride in my big car
Perhaps a ride in my big car
Wont you make an old man happy
Wont you make an old man happy
Wont you let me show you paradise
(dont ask your mother for advice)
Chorus
If they dont turn you into a junkie or a zombie on the street
If they dont turn you into a yo-cat or a grinning jesus freak
If they dont take away your brains or turn your body inside out
If they dont take away your passion with a color tv set
Theyll take away your heart and soul
Theyll take away your heart and soul
Theyll take away your heart and soul
Dont let them take away your heart and soul
But remember what the wise man said

The love in me is never straight and narrow
Unless the love is tried and true
You take a chance with new beginnings
Still we try, win or lose, take the highs
With the blues
Chorus:
Always one more, youre never satisfied
Never one for all, only one for me
So why draw the line, meet you half the way
If you dont know what that means
I feel like running politician
Just trying to please all the time
I give you my share with no conditions
Going wide, running long, feeling lost
But not for a long

People
Im forever struck
By the people in this town
And the way they go about their world
Have they given up
All the fun they used to have in adolescent xanadu
Everything is too much time and trouble
They must be seen as being respectable
Theyre too busy with their social climbing
Waiting for a rise
Chorus.
Why cant people just be people
When they were young
They would wish for the summer evenings that would never end
Now the days too long
And the key to life is locked away in childhood memories
Some people judge a man as reasonable
If the wine he buys is seasonable
Theyve time for friendship if its advantageous
And causes no pain
Chorus:
Why are people so deceitful
Why cant people just be people
There is more to the world
Than is offered by the soap and war found on the tv screen
And there is more to this life
If you would only take the time to look within and find the key
Dont believe words when theyre superficial
Dont put your trust in values artificial
Let your heart do the talking for a little
And feel yourself shine
Chorus:
Why cant people trust in people
Why cant people just be people
Find the time and youll realise
Life isnt too much time and trouble

Restless Youth
(ian hunter)
Hes much the same as anyone - he dont do what hes told
He got hostile on his school report - and he leaves his mother cold
His father owned a bakery - one day they found him hanged
It aint good to be free in little italy - his sons the leader of the gang
Chorus
Restless youth - restless youth
Restless youth - restless youth
He soon found out he could not work - the money was no good
This child of the city hit the welfare kitty - did some runnin for the hoods
And the logic of the street was such - that everything was bent
Theres a lot of white collars - stealing government dollars - wouldnt notice
Such a little percent.
Chorus
Now I went to his graduation - in some brooklyn overnight jail
He said he was a member of the rockn roll nation - but his face was drawn n pale
They gave him a suspended sentence - n he got straight on the phone
Called a big, big, man with a miami tan n said
Hi Im al capone - the 2nd restless youth
Chorus
Now his first hit came at seventeen - his second was his last
Some dealer ran screaming from the scene - as the bullets whistled past
n the cop that killed him shook his head n said I swear the truth
When I know it was some old, old man n not a restless youth.
Chorus
Now the moral of this story is that all he saw was greed
Legal, illegalities n all them politician thieves
Good people of the u.s.a. if you want your kids to grow
Then check your harvest carefully - dont reap; before you sow

Bangla Desh
My friend came to me, with sadness in his eyes
He told me that he wanted help
Before his country dies
Although I couldnt feel the pain, I knew I had to try
Now Im asking all of you
To help us save some lives
Bangla desh, bangla desh
Where so many people are dying fast
And it sure looks like a mess
Ive never seen such distress
Now wont you lend your hand and understand
Relieve the people of bangla desh
Bangla desh, bangla desh
Such a great disaster - I dont understand
But it sure looks like a mess
Ive never known such distress
Now please dont turn away, I want to hear you say
Relieve the people of bangla desh
Relieve bangla desh
Bangla desh, bangla desh
Now it may seem so far from where we all are
Its something we cant neglect
Its something I cant neglect
Now wont you give some bread to get the starving fed
Weve got to relieve bangla desh
Relieve the people of bangla desh
Weve got to relieve bangla desh
Relieve the people of bangla desh

The Seeker
Chorus:
I am a seeker
A poor sinful creature
There is no weaker than I am
I am a seeker
You are a teacher
You are a reacher
So reach down
Wont you reach out and lead me
Guide me and keep me
In the shelter of your care each day
cause I am a seeker
You are a keeper
You are the leader
Wont you show me the way
I am a vessel thats empty and useless
I am a bad seed that fell by the way
I am a loser that wants to be a winner
And you are my last hope
Dont turn me away
Chorus:
I am a seeker
A poor sinful creature
There is no weaker than I am
I am a seeker
You are a teacher
You are a reacher
So reach down
Wont you reach out and lead me
Guide me and keep me, lord
In the shelter of your care each day
cause I am a seeker
You are a keeper
You are the leader
Wont you show me the way
Oh, I know you are a mountain
From which there flows a fountain
So let its water wash my sins away
cause I am a seeker
You are a keeper
You are the leader
Wont you show me the way

Heavens Missing An Angel
I hope the man upstairs isnt mad at me,
cause I have one of his angels
And shes here with me.
Each time I see her precious smile,
And she spreads her wings,
It takes me to a place where love meets eternity.
Oh no,
Im not letting go,
I dont want to be alone
In this crazy world.
Oh lord,
I love her so,
And Ill sacrifice it all to have her
In my life.
Chorus:
I found my girl,
Ill tell the world,
That heaven is missing an angel.
My dreams came true,
When I found you,
Yes, heaven is missing an angel.
Not a day goes by that I dont thank God for you.
He blessed me with my angel,
Though I dont deserve you.
Before I met you girl,
Lonely was my best friend.
Now that you are in my life
I am stronger within.
I cant wait to kiss my angel late at night,
And watch her go to sleep,
Until I see her rise,
Chorus
All that I do is for you,
Me without you girl just wont do.
Your loves all I want to know,
Angel dont you ever go,
Life wont be the same without you.

People say they care, but when it come down to it
Do they have what Im singing for
Lets sing it for
Sincerity
Sincerity
People, rushin round in their lonely lives
Theyd like to care for others, but frankly,
They dont have the time
cause theyre always doin the things
They have to do so theyll be alright
Their always lookin out for their own side
People think theyve got priorities right
Chorus:
Sincerity
The road we need to travel for a better way of life
Sincerity
An attitude we need to take if we want to survive
Come on give me (come on) sincerity
Come on give me (come on) sincerity
Heartaches, everybody now and then
Theyre cryin out for others,
To listen to them like a friend
But were always sayin we dont have the time
But we really sympathize, maybe another time
Dont think about tomorrow
Do it while youve got the chance
Chorus
Come on give me (come on) sincerity

But were always sayin we dont have the time

Moving Target
I dont wanna spend the rest of my life living for the night
I dont wanna spend the rest of my time hiding when I know Im right
Dont wanna wake up in a cold sweat praying for the day to come
Dont wanna chase my tail until my legs are old and gone

Im like a target always on the run
A moving target while the day is long
No need to shoot me down my time will come
It wont be long - it wont be long
I dont wann spend the rest of my life
Like a story from a book
I dont wanna be afraid
When people start to look
I dont wanna have to say
That Id rather be alone
I dont wanna have to change so much
Im someone I dont know

Thats Why
By michael mcdonald & randy goodrum
Look back loneliness, you wont see me behind you
Hey now emptiness, no more leading the way
Go on desperateness, I dont need you beside me no more
Come on happiness, I can feel you gaining ground
Hey now foolishness, I might keep you around
Go on emptiness, I wont look behind me no more
I dont rule you out, I know youre there
But Im on to you now
Chorus:
Thats why, I wont be down very long
Thats why, Ill be all right from now on
Thats why, I get stronger everytime
Thats why, I know this heart will survive
After youre gone
You know I believe all we really have is time
No use worrying, no use wondering why
cause through it all, were only here to laugh and cry
Its meant to be that failure only brings another way
Every heartache always has another day
Come on loneliness, I dont need to hide you no more
I dont rule you out, I know youre there
But Im on to you now

I can see all that wealth wont make a champion
All that matters in my world (life)

I dont share that state of mind, that point of view

From the sole of my shoes through every stitch in my clothes

Early in the evenin just about supper time,
Over by the courthouse theyre starting to unwind.
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up.
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.

Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willy and the poorboys are playin;
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile,
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.

Tryin to run my motor down
Everybody says I live a dangerous life

Ooh, most people spend their time at home alone
Just waitin for a check that wont show

Cause once you start youll never stop
One advantage to doing things my own way
Ill always end up on top
